WASHINGTON (AP) – Federalregulators and the auto industryare taking a more lenient ap-proach than safety advocateslike when it comes to phasing inautomatic braking systems forpassenger cars, according torecords of their private negotia-tions.The technology automatically

applies brakes to prevent or miti-gate collisions, rather than wait-ing for the driver to act. Somesay it’s the most important safetytechnology available today that’snot already required in cars.Such systems should be stan-

dard in all new cars, says the Na-tional Highway Traffic Safety Ad-ministration. But instead of man-

dating it, the government is try-ing to work out a voluntaryagreement with automakers inhopes of getting it in cars morequickly.But safety advocates say vol-

untary agreements aren’t en-forceable and are likely tocontain weaker standards andlonger timelines than if the

government had issued rules.“Consumers are going to come

up the losers in this process,’’said Clarence Ditlow, executivedirector of the Center for AutoSafety.Meeting minutes obtained by

The Associated Press of three ofthe meetings that NHTSA hasheld with automakers since Octo-

ber show the government is con-sidering significant concessions.Records of the third negotiat-

ing session, on Nov. 12, showthat automatic braking systemswould be allowed that slow vehi-cles by as little as 5 mph before acollision. Manufacturers would

Lightning strikes, scary music ensues and the new Malibu/Cruze safety technologies appear in theater trailer.

The automobile industry hasbeen through many differentkinds of technological changeover the years. And this latestGM change is being reflected inthe new name for one of the com-pany’s divisions.After 24 years, General Motors

will rename GM Powertrain toGM Global Propulsion Systems,said GM spokesman Tom Read.GM’s Global Propulsion Systemsis collectively the group of morethan 8,600 people that design,develop and engineer all propul-sion-related products and con-trols for GM worldwide.“The new name is another step

on our journey to redefine trans-portation and mobility,” saidMark Reuss, executive vice presi-

dent, Global Product Develop-ment. “Global Propulsion Sys-tems better conveys what we aredeveloping and offering to ourcustomers: an incredibly broad,diverse lineup – ranging fromhigh-tech 3-cylinder gasolineengines to fuel cells, V8 diesel en-gines to battery electric systems,and 6-, 7-, 8-, 9- and 10-speed tocontinuously variable transmis-sions.”GM is the first OEM to formally

transition to a new naming con-vention to reflect industry trends

and its evolution over the years,Read said. GM’s expanding capa-bilities include the estimatedmore than 200 miles of range ona single charge on the all-electricChevrolet Bolt EV (based on GMtesting).GM, Read said, also produced

the highest non-hybrid passen-ger car fuel economy in the U.S.market at an EPA-estimated high-way 46 mpg in the 2.0L diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze. GM

Ford Jumps in to SupportKansas City Commuters

Ford is developing a ride program to help Kansas City commuters.

It’s been said that you can’t go-home again. Well Chevrolet andMichigan-born director Sam Rai-mi proved that isn’t always true.Fans of classic horror movies

have all experienced that mo-ment where the music takes anominous turn and the unsuspect-ing character is on the verge ofopening a door where dangerawaits.Imagine however, if for once,

that character could heed thewarnings of theatergoers andavoid the inevitable threat.Inspired by those very scenes,

Chevrolet is drawing attention tothe wide array of available activesafety technologies in its new2016 Malibu and Cruze in a trail-er that is playing in theaters na-tionwide, said GM spokesmanCraig Daitch.“We continue to look for unex-

pected, attention-grabbing waysto tell our story,” said Paul Ed-wards, U.S. vice president ofChevrolet Marketing.“With this trailer, we have

thrown a twist into that quintes-sential, edge-of-your-seat horrormovie moment to highlight thecomprehensive suite of availableactive safety technologies in ournew Malibu and Cruze.”The 60-second trailer was di-

rected by Raimi. His film career

was established with the super-natural cult horror film series,“Evil Dead,” making him the idealchoice to direct this piece of cre-ative work for Chevrolet.“We approached the develop-

ment of the Chevrolet trailer inthe same way we would an actualmovie – by thinking through theplot, characters and eventualoutcome,” said Raimi.Raimi said he employs several

cinematic techniques to immersethe audience in the scene.From the music and lighting

typical of a horror movie, toshifting emphasis of the theatersurround sound, to the rear todraw attention to the warningvoices.And finally by breaking the

fourth wall when the protagonistheeds the warnings from mem-bers of the audience and walksaway safe from danger.

“I’ve been in plenty of theaterswhere the audience is so con-cerned for the safety of the maincharacters that they call outwarnings to save them. That’swhat this is based on,” said Rai-mi.Chevrolet, Daitch said, expects

to reach nearly 2,300 theatresand 14,000 screens nationwideduring the six-month run of thetrailer.

DETROIT (AP) – General Mo-tors is recalling about 200,000Saab and Saturn cars in the U.S.and Canada to replace the Taka-ta driver’s air bag inflators.The move is part of a broader

recall of more than 5 million ve-hicles announced last month byU.S. safety regulators.Takata inflators can explode

with too much force in a crashand hurl metal shrapnel intodrivers and passengers. At least10 people have died worldwideand 139 have been hurt due tothe problem.The GM recall includes the

Saab 9-3 from 2003 to 2011 andthe Saab 9-5 from 2010 and 2011.Also included is the Saturn Astrafrom 2008 and 2009.Dealers will replace the infla-

tors. Owners will get letters noti-fying them of the recalls, butsince parts aren’t available yet,they’ll have to wait for a secondletter before taking cars to deal-ers.GM has no plans to offer loan-

er cars to people who don’t wantto drive their vehicles,spokesman Tom Wilkinson said.The type of Takata inflators inthe GM cars ruptured only intesting and not in the field, hesaid. “Our position is you cancontinue to drive the cars asnormal” until repairs are made,he said.The Saab models under recall

were sold in other markets in-cluding Europe, while the Astrawas sold as an Opel in Europeand elsewhere. Wilkinson saidGM’s global safety team is re-viewing data on the inflators inother markets “and will respondappropriately.” GM sold the Saabbrand in 2009 but kept responsi-bility for administering its re-calls. The brand eventually wentout of business.The National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration an-nounced the latest round ofTakata recalls on Jan. 22 afterthe death of a South Carolinaman when an inflator rupturedon a 2006 Ford Ranger, and whentesting showed four ruptures ona different type of Takata inflator.The recalls covered vehicles

made by GM, Ford, BMW, Volk-swagen, Honda, Mazda, Mer-cedes-Benz and Daimler Trucks.They bring to about 24 millionthe number of vehicles under re-call in the U.S. for Takata air bagproblems. It’s already the largestautomotive recall in U.S. history,and the government expects it togrow. Worldwide, about 50 mil-lion inflators are under recall.

General Motors will invest$148 million to repurpose flexiblemachining and assembly equip-ment at its Spring Hill (Tenn.)Manufacturing plant to build V8engines to meet market demand,retaining approximately 200 jobs.The investment will enable

Spring Hill to quickly add capaci-ty to build the Small Block 6.2LV8 engine in the popular truckand SUV segment, said GMspokesman Tom Wickham. Thiswill be the first time Spring Hillwill build V8 engines.The 6.2L truck engine is cur-

rently available in the ChevroletSilverado Crew Cab, GMC SierraCrew Cab, Yukon Denali, YukonXL Denali and the Cadillac Es-calade and Escalade ESV, Wick-ham said. The aluminum SmallBlock engine features a suite oftechnology for efficiency andperformance, including ActiveFuel Management (cylinder deac-tivation), direct injection andcontinuously variable valve tim-ing. Other GM sites building the6.2L V8 for trucks are Tonawan-da, N.Y., and St. Catharines, On-tario.The investments in Spring Hill

are part of $709.4 million in in-vestments General Motors hasannounced since ratification ofthe UAW-GM national agreementin 2015, Wickham said.Since 2010, General Motors has

announced investments of morethan $1.35 billion for the compa-ny’s Spring Hill manufacturingoperations.“This investment will position

General Motors and its work-force to promptly respond toconsumer demand for this en-gine in the popular truck andSUV segment,” said Arvin Jones,GM North America Manufactur-ing manager.The flexibility of Spring Hill’s

engine machining and assemblyequipment, Jones said, will allowGeneral Motors to respond “deft-ly” when additional engine vari-ant capacity is needed in the fu-ture.Equipment repurposing will

begin immediately with SmallBlock 6.2L V8 production sched-uled to begin during the fourth

quarter of 2016, Wickham said.Having flexible equipment andmachining is allowing GeneralMotors to add capacity as need-ed in a timeframe that is fasterthan the typical two to threeyears required to add a new en-gine line, he said.“Spring Hill and its employees

have a reputation for producingaward-winning 4-cylinder en-gines,” said UAW Local 1853Chairman Mike Herron. “We ap-preciate GM recognizing theseoutstanding skills with the op-portunity to build V8 engines forsome of GM’s most popular full-size trucks and SUVs.”

GM Global Propulsion Systemsis also known for its experiencewith hydrogen fuel cells.

Nearly 50 percent of the GlobalPropulsion Systems engineeringworkforce is involved with alter-native or electrified propulsionsystems, Read said.

Other notable systems includeaward-winning products like thenew 3.6L V6 with cylinder deacti-vation available in the CadillacCT6. GM has more vehicles on theroad with this fuel-saving technol-ogy than any other manufacturer.

Other recent recognizedachievements, Read said, includethe award-winning second-gener-ation Voltec propulsion systemin the Chevrolet Volt and thehighly acclaimed drivetrain forthe Opel Astra.

“Gone are the days when a gaso-line engine and a transmission de-signed independently meet a cus-tomer’s expectations,” said DanNicholson, vice president, GMGlobal Propulsion Systems.

“Today’s customer is demand-ing unprecedented technologyintegration that requires un-precedented engineering andsupplier partnerships. The diver-sity of our propulsion systems re-quires a name that reflects whatwe are already working on and de-livering to our customers. I believethis will establish an industrytrend.”

Read said that this is not thefirst time GM has changed how itorganized its propulsion systems.

From 1908 to 1983, different

company divisions had differentengine and transmission designunits. Starting in 1984, differentdesign units were combined.Chevrolet GM Canada and Ponti-

ac engine development were con-solidated into the CPC Group. Atthe same time, Buick, Oldsmo-bile and Cadillac engine develop-ment became the BOC Group.These two groups later com-bined and by 1991 were knownas GM Engines.

Between 1984 and 1991, Chevro-let and Buick transmission devel-opment became known as the Hy-dramatic division. Additionally,the casting divisions of Chevrolet,Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick andCadillac were consolidated andbecame Central Foundry. By 1992,Central Foundry and GM Enginesbecame GM Powertrain.

With the addition of new kindsof automotive engines beyond In-ternal Combustion Engines (ICE)and the development of trueworldwide research teams, GMPowertrain has now evolved toGM Global Propulsion Systems.

WE’LL GIVE YOU A $3,500 MINIMUM FOR YOUR 2003 OR NEWER TRADE IN.BAY CITY, Mich. (AP) – A city

that has been home to a GeneralMotors factory for nearly a cen-tury has been struggling overwhether to buy less expensiveFord Motor SUVs for the policedepartment.Four Ford Explorers would

cost 25 percent less than fourGM Tahoes. But Bay City has a33-year-old policy that requiresit to buy GM vehicles.The issue was discussed at a

city commission meeting lastweek, The Bay City Times report-ed.“People support both brands,

GM and Ford, but this is a signifi-cant amount of money we’retalking about,” City ManagerRick Finn said. “If it was a fewthousand dollars, I’d say let’sstick with the Chevys, but$37,000 is a lot of money. TheFord is the wiser decision.”Commissioner Ed Clements

wanted to stick with GM, whichhas operated a factory in BayCity, 115 miles north of Detroit,since 1918. It is part of the com-pany’s powertrain division.The four Tahoes, which have

larger engines, would cost$148,468. The four Explorerswould cost $110,184.“Is $37,000 worth it over the

course of time?” Clements saidof the price difference. “Thiscommunity needs to support itslargest taxpayer.”In the end, Bay City officials –

on a 5-3 vote – opted last week tobuy the four Ford Motor Compa-ny vehicles for its police fleet.The vehicles will cost the city$165,580 after being equippedwith police gear.Commissioner David Terrasi

abstained from the vote be-cause, he said, his father is re-tired from Ford and his familycontinues to receive profit-shar-ing checks from the Dearbornautomaker, adding that he him-self has received discounts onFord vehicles he has boughtunder a Ford family purchasingplan.Bay City Public Safety Director

Michael Cecchini said the vehi-cles would arrive in 10 to 12weeks.

To Buy or NotTo Buy GM – No

Longer a Question

Opel will stage two world pre-mieres at the 86th Geneva MotorShow – the compact SUV MokkaX and the futuristic GT Conceptsports car, said Opel spokesmanPeter Vos.The show, which opens its

doors to the public March 3-13,begins with two press days, Vossaid.Opel Group CEO Dr. Karl-

Thomas Neumann and his teamare holding an Opel press confer-ence on March 1, Vos said, totalk about the brand and itsplans for the future in the Euro-pean market. Opel will displaythe new Mokka X and GT Con-cept vehicles, as well as the en-tire Astra family, Vos said.Opel’s new twin turbocharged

diesel engine, in combinationwith start/stop, six-speed manu-al transmission and low rolling-resistance tires, the 118 kW/160hp 1.6 BiTurbo CDTI in the Astra,consumes only 4.1 liters per 100kilometers (109 grams of CO2per kilometer), Vos said.“Our Geneva stars highlight

exactly what Opel is today. TheGT Concept shows that we areinnovative and have a clear vi-sion of where we are going. Thenew Astra and the new Mokka Xshow that we listen to our cus-tomers and put them at the cen-ter of everything we do by build-ing cars that are desirable andaffordable,” Neumann said.

be allowed to exempt 5 percentof their vehicles from the stan-dard. The discussion included anadditional exemption for modelsthat manufacturers intend tophase out or redesign.The minutes don’t specify a

model year by which the technol-ogy would have to be included incars. The group did decide thatdiscussion of any deadline wouldbegin with “the latest date sub-mitted by any automaker” forwhen they would be ready tomake the change.The agency is required by law

to provide meeting minutes ofsuch negotiations and to makethem public. Only minutes fromthe first meeting were in theagency’s public docket, but aNHTSA spokesman providedminutes to the other two meet-ings in response to a requestfrom the AP.Minutes to a fourth meeting

were unavailable, the AP wastold.“This is what happens when

you start negotiating with theauto industry,” said Joan Clay-book, a safety advocate andNHTSA’s administrator duringthe Carter administration. “Theywant to negotiate this out andthey want to negotiate that out,”and establish a deadline drivenby their production schedulesrather than safety considera-tions.Besides NHTSA, meeting par-

ticipants included 16 automak-ers, two auto industry tradegroups and the Insurance Insti-tute for Highway Safety, the in-surance industry’s safety re-search arm. Representativesfrom Transport Canada, theCanadian government’s autosafety regulator, also attended.Mark Rosekind, NHTSA’s ad-

ministrator, has said the federal

rule-making process is so cum-bersome and time-consumingthat a voluntary agreement islikely to get the technology intoall cars faster. He said regula-tions remain an option.The Association of Global

Automakers, which has taken thelead for the industry on theissue, didn’t immediately reply toa request for comment.“Regulations can be too rigid

when technology like this ischanging quickly,” said Russ Rad-er, a spokesman for IIHS. “A com-plicated regulation could make itmore difficult for the automakersand their suppliers to continueto develop the systems.”Safety advocates who met with

Rosekind last week said he toldthem he hopes to wrap up nego-tiations on a voluntary agree-ment within the month. Safetygroups have filed a petition ask-ing NHTSA to issue regulationsinstead.Automatic braking is already

available in dozens of car mod-els, but typically as a pricey op-tion on higher-end vehicles. Sub-aru offers it on the Imprezasedan, for example, as part of a$2,895 safety package.Claybrook acknowledged that

federal rule-making is too slow,largely because of White Houseinsistence on elaborate cost-ben-efit analyses of potential safetyrules. But she said automaticbraking could move more quicklybecause the technology is avail-able and the government would-n’t have to prove its feasibility.The insurance institute has doneextensive testing and analysis of

its benefits, she added.There are about 1.7 million

rear-end crashes a year in theU.S., killing more than 200 peo-ple, injuring 400,000 others andcosting about $47 billion annual-ly. More than half of those crash-es could be avoided or mitigatedby automatic braking or systemsthat warn drivers of an impend-ing collision, NHTSA estimated.The technology holds the po-

tential to significantly reducewhat the insurance industrypays in damage and injuryclaims. Some insurers offer dis-counts to customers whose carshave automatic braking. Butmany don’t because it’s difficultto verify the presence of an op-tional system and because thereare so many different namebrands for the technology thatit’s hard to determine whichones are most effective.NHTSA announced last year

that it will include automaticbraking and other collision-avoidance technologies in itsfive-star safety rating program toencourage automakers to morewidely adopt the technology.In an unusually pointed criti-

cism, the National Transporta-tion Safety Board, which investi-gates accidents and makes safetyrecommendations, said in a re-port last year that “slow and in-sufficient action” by NHTSA todevelop performance standardsfor automatic braking and colli-sion warning systems and to re-quire the technologies in carsand trucks “has contributed tothe ongoing and unacceptablefrequency of rear-end crashes.”

“Today, we are bringing anoth-er transit option to the regionwith the introduction of micro-transit,” said Robbie Makinen,KCATA president and CEO. “Bycombining the intelligence ofBridj technology with capableand flexible Ford Transit vehi-cles, we are creating a seamlessand borderless transportationnetwork for our residents that iseasy to use, comfortable and af-fordable.”

Ride KC: Bridj is scheduled tolaunch in early March, Enochsaid. Powered by billions of datapoints, Bridj’s platform deter-mines where riders want to goand how to get them there mostefficiently. Using the Bridj mobileapp, riders can request on-de-mand shuttle service that theycan access via pop-up shuttlestations.

“Bridj is thrilled to be the ur-ban technology platform for RideKC: Bridj,” said Matt George, CEOof Bridj. “Modernizing urban in-frastructure will be the singlegreatest technology challenge ofour time, and this pilot is part ofthe solution by significantly ex-tending the current capabilitiesof Kansas City’s mass transit sys-tem.”

Ford is the exclusive vehicleprovider for Ride KC: Bridj be-cause of its commitment to en-abling urban mobility through itsFord Smart Mobility plan, Enochsaid.

“Our goal is to make people’slives better by changing the waythe world moves,” said EricaKlampfl, global mobility solu-tions manager, Ford Researchand Advanced Engineering.

“The Ford Smart Mobility plansupports our commitment toinnovation, and is aimed specifi-cally at developing smarter mo-bility services. We are excitedthat Ford Transit was selectedfor Ride KC: Bridj because this isone of many projects that willhelp us gain insights into whatworks and develop smarter,more connected mobility solu-tions and service-oriented prod-ucts.”

Ten Ford Transit passenger vansbuilt at Kansas City AssemblyPlant will stay close to home, be-coming the network of shuttles inthe pilot program, Enoch said.

The fleet of high-roof, long-wheelbase Transit vans withavailable 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoostengines will be modified with acustom 14-passenger seating lay-out and custom-installed largerunning board for passenger con-venience. Bright logos on thesides will make for easy visibility.

Ford Motor Credit Company issupporting the one-year pilotwith financing through its munic-ipal lease finance program.

“Only 18 percent of jobs in theKansas City region are accessiblewithin 90 minutes when using ex-isting mass transit options,” saidBridj’s George, citing figures fromthe Brookings Institute.

“By improving access to jobs,Ride KC: Bridj is a catalyst for so-cial and economic opportunity,and an example of what is possi-ble when cities adopt technologi-cal innovation and work in col-laboration with private entitiesto create a truly modern city.”
