Nissan says its Cranfield-based research and development facility, Nissan Technical Centre Europe, will play a key role in the company's global van programme.
The expansion of its core levels of expertise emphasises the importance of the Centre within Nissan's global R&D network.
Cranfield's designation as a centre of van excellence has received government support from the East of England Development Agency whose grants totalling £100,000 over the past two years are helping to fund the training of engineering and design staff in the skills necessary to meet the needs of future van projects.
Jaguar Land Rover has selected Chase to be its exclusive auto finance provider in the United States of America, offering a full range of automotive financial services for its customers and dealers.
The agreement with Chase, part of JPMorgan Chase & Co, will replace the arrangement with Ford, whose financial arm provided support during the Ford ownership of Jaguar Land Rover. The identification and confirmation of a set of new financial partners were key elements of Jaguar Land Rover's transition away from Ford.
A trial of road-user charging planned for 2009 is an opportunity to reassure drivers that such a scheme need not be expensive or intrude on their privacy, according to green breakdown provider, the Environmental Transport Association. The government announced this week that volunteers will have their cars fitted with satellite-tracking devices that have the ability to collect road charges automatically, at rates which will vary according to the level of congestion.
Coinciding with the arrival of dark wintry evenings, Škoda has released pricing for Bi-Xenon headlights and Adaptive Front Light System which have debuted on the new Superb.
The front light system, priced at £850 on the S trim, £680 on the SE trim and standard on the top of the range Elegance trim, significantly improves driver visibility and makes the Superb an easier and safer car to drive in the dark. The system also benefits other road users as it limits the dazzling effect of headlights to oncoming traffic.
