Land rover Freelander 2 - Improving On The Good

 After the successful first generation Freelander 1 the Rover Group produced between 1998 and 2006, it now unveiled its successor in the Landrover Freelander 2 unveiled at the 2006 British International Motor Show. It was released in Europe in 2007 and was sold in the American markets as the Land Rover LR2.  Before getting officially announced at the motor show, the second generation Freelander was presented at the Kensington Roof Gardens in a lavish occasion featuring tennis sports celebrity Maria Sharapova before a team of journalists and media professionals.



A Better Freelander

Production of the Freelander 2 was moved from the Solihull plant in Birmingham to Halewood in England near Liverpool.  It now shared production of the Jaguar X-Type automobile.  It used a chassis based on the global midsized EUCD platform (European C/D class) that accommodated a larger transversely-mounted Volvo SI6 3.2 liter inline 6-cylinder petrol engine that also powered the new Volvo S80.

It came with 6-speed manual and automatic transmission.  The UK version didn't get this engine but instead got a 2.2 liter DW12 common rail turbo-charged diesel engine jointly developed with the French PSA (Peugeot Societe Anonyme) to power its new Peugeot Citroen cars.


With improved ground clearance and off-road handling capabilities, the second generation Freelander matched the Land Rover tradition for off-road superiority found in its Discovery and Defender line and proved superior to its European SUV rivals. In addition, the Freelander 2 sported improved interior quality, road safety features as well as modified Terrain Response off-road system used in the new Discovery III and upscale Range Rover.  The Rover Group and the Swedish Haldex Traction AB jointly developed its four-wheel drive system using the third generation Haldex coupling which was also fitted in the complete 2005 to 2008 Volvo models



The Landrover Freelander 2 was introduced in the US markets as the LR2 HSE in 2007 sporting the 6-cylinder 3.2 liter inline petrol engine capable of 230 hp on a 6-speed automatic transmission gear train.   It came with the luxurious interior appointments the US markets had become accustomed seeing in an SUV but was bettered with a Cold Climate System that heated the front windscreen and front seats at two heating levels as well as a heated windscreen water jet, a 14-speaker 440-watt surround system from Alpine, touch navigation screens, and bi-xenon headlights to mention some.
The Latest Freelander 2 TD4_e

The Rover Group launched the Freelander 2 TD4_e in 2009 which marked the first SUV in the UK to use an eco-friendly stop-start technology to economize fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions.  The  in the designation stands for e-Terrain Technologies presumably referring to 'earth' and was Land Rover's answer to the emerging trends in environmentally friendly road vehicles.


With the e-technology, the engine stops when in idle gear and  instantly resumes when engaging the clutch pedal. A heavy-duty starter motor acts as a generator to recover energy from its regenerative braking using capacitors to store energy and restart the engine without engaging the starter battery.  The e-Terrain is expected to be used in subsequent hybrid Freelander models.

History Of Toyota Car Company

Toyota Motor Corporation was founded in September 1933 as a division of Automatic Weaving Factory Toyota cars. Division of company cars are then separated on August 27, 1937 to create the Toyota Motor Corporation is today.


Departure from the textile industry, Toyota is plugging itself as one of the leading car manufacturer which is across the globe. Brands that produce a car every six seconds using the naming Toyota proved more because penyebutannya better than using the family name of its founder, Toyoda. Here are some exciting milestone in Toyota's journey.



Toyota is the third largest automobile manufacturer in the world in unit sales and net sales. Japan's largest manufacturers produced 5.5 million cars worldwide. If calculated, this figure is equivalent to producing one unit of a car in six seconds.

Toyota was founded by Sakichi Toyoda, who started off from a textile industry (Marimutu Sinivasan, the founder of Texmaco, a large textile entrepreneurs in Indonesia, tried to imitate it by developing branded automotive sector


Compared with other automotive industries that use the name of its founder as a trademark, such as Honda, founded by Soichiro Honda, Daimler-Benz (Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz), Ford (Henry Ford), Toyoda name not be used as a trademark. Since departing from simple ideas and vision that time, Toyoda mention less pleasant to hear and not so familiarly known diplesetkan into the Toyota.

Sakichi Toyoda was born in February 1867 in Shizuoka, Japan. This man is known as the inventor since I was a teenager. Toyoda devoted his life to studying and developing the textile assembly. In the age of 30 years completed the Toyoda loom. It then drove him to establish the forerunner to the Toyota assembly line, ie, Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd.. in November 1926.

Here patents automatic textile machinery and then sold to Platt Brothers & Co., Ltd.. from England, United Kingdom. Proceeds from sales of this patent, was made the capital development of the automotive division. Starting in 1933, when Toyoda build automotive division, which was then a lot of teams are controlled by his son Kiichiro Toyoda, endlessly producing leading innovations in the era. Engine Type A successfully completed in 1934. A year later the first prototype of this machine grafted their passenger cars, A1. Toyoda automotive division also produces trucks G1 model.

In 1936 they launched their first passenger car, Toyoda AA (then still using the name Toyoda). This model was developed from the prototype model A1 and the body and machine equipped A. This vehicle is from the beginning expected to be a people's car. Product concepts that Toyota continues to hold today.

Four-year wait for delivery is enough automotive companies own and break away from their textile industry. Then in 1937 they inaugurated the automotive division and take the name of Toyota, rather than Toyoda as a textile industry. Toyota making a name in Japanese characters are represented in eight, and eight is a lucky number for Japanese society. Another reason that makes sense is considered automotive industry is a business lifestyle and even the mention of a name (and what sounds like), a side which is so important. Because the name was considered too rigid Toyoda in a dynamic business that turned into the Toyota were deemed better. No doubt, the year 1937 represents an important era of the birth of the Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.. the embryo of a giant Toyota Motor Corp. (TMC) today.

Kiichiro Toyoda's spirit of innovation has never dimmed. Toyota later developed into producing powerful vehicles. In the era of the 1940s, Toyota is busy developing the company's capitalization, including entering trading floor in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya.

After World War II era, the 1950s is proof of Toyota's all-purpose vehicle producer sebgai tough. At the time Jeep vehicles are familiar in Japan. Inspired by this car, the Toyota Land Cruiser and then develop a prototype that came out in 1950. A year later officially launched early model Land Cruiser BJ model ie.

Buln July of that year, a test driver Ichiro Taira end the test with remarkable results. Heikuro Samurai figures inspired by the climb of Mount Atago Magaki on horseback in 1643, Taira drove his Toyota BJ to the Fudo temple in the town of Okasaki. This was once used as a promotional car all-terrain toughness is. Not long ago, Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep Willys began to emulate domination. Even with the subsequent models, the Toyota Land Cruiser is acceptable in a market that was then difficult to penetrate the North America. Through this model, Toyota has entered the markets in various parts of the world, including in Indonesia, known as the Toyota Land Cruiser Hardtop FJ40/45. In Africa, the models of Toyota Land Cruiser was used as an alias Technical armed jeeps equipped with light machine guns, heavy guns or bazookas and even without starting over (Recoilless bazooka) and baled during armed conflicts with the very strong performance.


Toyota is not only known through the Toyota Land Cruiser. They also developed the world's favorite model, a small sedan. Through the Corolla made its debut in 1966, this early generation small sedan wearing mover behind the change order bongsor popular sedan when it headed toward the small sedan in a compact, economical and compact. Entering the year 1975, included in third-generation Corolla, and sold more than 5 million units. The amazing thing is still strong today. Corolla engine is then used in Indonesia as an engine for a versatile family of commercial vehicles, Toyota Kijang early generations known as Kijang Buaya.

Toyota product line mengglobalnya increasingly, they have not realized the logo graphic. Even in Indonesia found the Toyota branded vehicles like Toyota Kijang with Toyota logo on the grill on the bonnet (nose) car. In 1989 Toyota has finally decided to make two circles oval (ellipse), which produce the letters T and the third ellipse will indicate the spirit of understanding in the design. The third circle was once the second round the previous ellipse-shaped circle T and keep it as evidence of influence around him.

In the 1990s, Toyota is increasingly proving that Japanese cars can compete with European and American cars. Toyota Celica managed to become world rally champion, and the Toyota Camry became the best selling car in America.

Lexus


is a Japanese automobile company, headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, providing financial services, and also participate in other business areas. TMC is a member of the Toyota Group and produce cars with Toyota and Lexus brands, and owns most of the Daihatsu.

History of Henry Ford and the Ford automobile company

Ford Motor Company (FMC), automotive company that fourth-wheeled vehicles penetrated the entire world, celebrated its 100th anniversary year, to be exact tanal June 13, 2003 last. Who would have guessed, that the founders - Henry Ford - only primary school education?


Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863 came from families of poor farmers. The absence of fees makes it unable to continue their education to junior high bench. After graduating from elementary school he helped his father on the family farm.

One day in mid 1875, Henry brought his father's carriage rides in the direction of Detroit. At that time Henry, who just turned 12 years have seen something strange on the road. There are trains that can run itself without a horse. "Train the street itself came to an abrupt stop, lets us in on horse-drawn carriages to pass," Henry said in his biography. The father who saw his son was amazed immediately stopped his buggy. They then go down and meet with people who were on the train which can run himself.


It turned out that it eliminates the interest and attention of Henry to the field of agriculture. His mind was filled with trains that can run itself. Henry, who previously wrestled with soil and seeds of plants have shifted their attention to metal objects. After helping his father on the farm Henry spends all his spare time in a small workshop in a warehouse owned by the family farm.

Interest in the machinery to make Henry decided to intern in Drydock Engine Works. That decision could make his father angry. Fortunately his father's anger did not last long, after hearing the news of how the rapid progress of Henry in the Drydock Engine Works. In the history of the Drydock Engine Works, their apprenticeship training takes 3 years to become an engineer. But Henry Ford only takes less than a year training to become an expert engine really reliable.

Completed internship Henry ideals to create a machine that can move the vehicle to transport goods and people getting stuck out. But these ideals were greeted coldly by his colleagues. They assess, Henry ideals is an impossible thing. But Henry did not despair.

Moments after finishing an internship at the Drydock Engine Works, Henry medapat bid for work as an engineer at Detroit Edison Company. In this new place Henry then realized the limitations of his knowledge that only limited internships in the Drydock Engine Works. Her goal would be realized if he did not deepen their knowledge. Therefore, diligent Henry adds his knowledge of machinery of scientific magazines published at that time. Not only that, after working in Detroit Edison Company, Henry is also conducting research and experiments in a small shed behind the house rented.

In one edition of science magazine that had Henry read about the creation of a new machine called the automobile, the gas engine is smooth, which in the history of automotive classified as a precursor to the current car. The magazine also wrote that some time later as a means of lighting the gas in that period will not be used again as the driving engine, but was replaced by the evaporation of fuel oil.

Discussion in the magazine got opposition from the experts at that time machine. According to them, it is impossible to gas oil was replaced by a steam engine to drive the car. But Henry is not impossible for petroleum vapors can be used to drive the engine. With the principle of his life that did not recognize Henry's desperate attempt to keep doing experiments on his family's agricultural warehouse.






















"Over the years my experiment failed. But because the principle of my life really do not know despair, failure is not something that I feared. More precisely the failure to spur my spirit diligently and thoroughly, "he said.

In the year 1892, or exactly 17 years after first watching a train without horse-drawn street, Henry Ford appalling Detroiters. He came out of his shop iron horse steam engine powered by petroleum. Something which, according to experts impossible machines, successfully realized Henry Ford became a reality. He successfully made the first car in the human civilization, the steam engine driven oil.


In the eyes of the owner of the Detroit Edison Company creation is a very special car, so that Henry Ford was immediately offered a high position, and earnings multiples. But even Henry resigned from the Detroit Edison Company, by reason if the office received the entire time and energies will be taken up at the company, so do not have spare time again for the continued research and experimentation in his private workshop.

Regardless of the Detroit Edison Company, Henry Ford succeeded in persuading some entrepreneurs to set up Detroit Auto Company car. There he was appointed as chief engineer. It turns out many inconsistencies between Henry and the owners of capital. Henry asked for some funds for research and development but this proposal was not approved. Capital owners want the first car Henry creations are produced. The result, sales of Automotive Detroit within one year of no more than five and six units of the car.

After three years, exactly mid-March 1902, another Henry Ford resigned from the Detroit Automobile. With minimal capital, from the remnants of his income in Detroit Automobile, Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company reckless.

To introduce the products to the general public two units of Henry Ford designed the car for the race that is named "999" and "Arrow". In the 1903 racing season, the two cars involved Henry Ford's creation and immediately went out as the winner by leaving his opponents more than half a mile behind. With a glorious victory, the publicity of products Ford Motor explode upwards. Ford Motor Company began creeping up. In 1905, Ford's production units sold in 1700.


Henry continues to improve the quality of production, among others, by creating the Model T Ford which is very famous. Henry is also trying to improve factory performance. He was the first person to create a car assembly system sequentially and completely mechanical.

Ford Motor Plant was expanded to various countries. In 1947, when Henry Ford died at the age of 84 years, Ford Motor plant in the entire world has been able to produce as many as 4000 units of Ford cars every day. In 1960, Ford Motor Company is the second largest company in the world
