Associates at multiple Honda plants in North America celebrated today as mass production of the all-new 2023 Honda CR-V hybrid began at Honda of Canada Mfg. (HCM), featuring a new two-motor hybrid system produced¹ at Honda’s Ohio Transmission Plant (TMP-O), and a newly refined Atkinson-cycle engine unique to hybrid models that is made at the Anna Engine Plant (AEP) in Ohio. The Indiana Auto Plant (IAP) and the East Liberty Auto Plant (ELP) in Ohio, which produced the previous CR-V Hybrid, will begin production of the 2023 CR-V hybrid in the coming months. HCM is the global lead plant for CR-V hybrid production, the first time a hybrid has been built in Canada.Representing a key step in Honda’s electrification strategy, starting with the 2023 model year, about 50% of CR-V’s annual sales in the U.S. will be powered by Honda’s new, more powerful fourth-generation two-motor hybrid-electric system.“Knowing the importance CR-V hybrid is set to play to our overall electrification strategy, this is a proud moment for the Honda of Canada Mfg. team as we lead the start of global production of CR-V hybrid,” said Clement D’Souza, senior vice president of HCM.The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V Sport and Sport Touring trims come standard with the new hybrid system featuring the more refined 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine and Honda’s new fourth-generation two-motor hybrid-electric system, featuring a pair of electric motors now arranged side-by-side in a parallel axis layout.
Nissan celebrates production of 5 million vehicles at Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant. This milestone represents nearly 20 years of Nissan manufacturing in Mississippi and paves the path for electric vehicle production, part of the company's long-term vision – Nissan Ambition 2030.For nearly two decades, employees at Nissan Canton have assembled high-quality, award-winning vehicles. The plant's opening in 2003 brought automotive manufacturing to Mississippi for the first time, and has since contributed to the state's economic development. While its history is rich, the team looks toward future transformation – one that will bring two all-new, all-electric models to the U.S. market.
The world has passed the "tragic milestone" of four million recorded Covid-19 deaths, says the World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, adding that the true toll is likely higher. IMAGES of a WHO press conference
Ford confirmed today that it intends to restart initial production at its Dagenham Engine Plant in Essex and Bridgend Engine Plant in South Wales from May 18.Together with Valencia Engine Plant in Spain, which also restarts production next week, the resumption of production at Dagenham and Bridgend means that all of Ford’s European manufacturing facilities will be back at work.A limited number of employees have continued to work on company sites in the U.K. over recent weeks to ensure the ongoing provision of critical services. These activities continue to build up on a progressive basis towards more normal business levels. In addition, nonproduction employees whose roles require specialist equipment only available onsite started to return to work in greater numbers from May 4. Those non-production employees who can work remotely are continuing to do so for the present time.
The four-cylinder will provide in the compact models of Mercedes-AMG in two power levels for highly agile propulsion: with 310 kW (421 hp) as so-called S-model and with 285 kW (387 hp) in the basic variant The AMG performance models with V8 engine already proven and meets even better the individual customer requirements.In addition to the pure performance figures, the new engine impresses with its spontaneous response. For this purpose, the torque curve was elaborately tuned ("torque shaping"): The maximum value of 500 Newton meters (480 Newton meters in the basic version) is available in the range of 5,000-5,250 / min (4,750-5,000 / min in the basic version). With this design, the AMG engineers achieved a naturally aspirated engine-like power delivery that further enhances the emotional driving experience. The engine developers were able to realize a dynamically increasing torque curve in the lower engine speed range and thus improve drivability. The growing torque at higher speeds increases the revving of the engine. In addition, the high maximum speed (up to 7,200 rpm) emphasizes the sports engine character of the M 139.
