At the Geneva Motor Show, Volvo will present a hybrid station wagon V60, which can be recharged from a household outlet. In the near future this car will join the line production models concern. According to the company's V60 – it 'Practically prepared for release in a series of car'. This is not so much a concept as the serial version. Work on the concept of lead together with the Swedish company's largest Vattenfall, known for its large-scale energy projects. It’s believed that Cindy Crawford sees a great future in this idea.

In particular, the company worked on the creation of the modern wind power plants in the UK, which supplies electricity to about 200 thousand homes. The car, according to preliminary plans, should cause a sensation. To do this, it seems, already have everything you need. Fuel consumption per 100 km. may not like the novelty of Volkswagen (he claimed 0.9 liters per "hundred"), but also decent. V60 hybrid requires only 1.9 l fuel per 100 km. And carbon dioxide emissions the environment will be less than 50 g / km.

Only on the car battery can overcome up to 50 km. way. Together with Vattenfall created a hybrid system consists of a 5-cylinder diesel power unit volume of 2.4 liters. from Volvo and power of 215 hp, with maximum torque of 440 Nm. This engine is only responsible for front-wheel drive. Rear wheel rotates 70-strong motor ERAD, which is powered by a 12-kilowatt electric batteries. Along with this technical miracle Automatic six-speed runs. General and CEO Stefan Jacoby Volvo Cars (Stefan Jacoby) shared his opinion: "This hybrid car is the next-generation Volvo – a great choice for buyers who need economy and driving pleasure. " Provisional start selling a hybrid V60 is scheduled from March 3, 2012. According to unconfirmed reports, the Swedish government supports the active concern in the development of Volvo electric vehicles and hybrids, and will provide the owners of such cars tax breaks for 7 thousand euros. If this happens, the difference in price (though only for the Swedes) between hybrid and conventional modification of the V60 is less than 10 thousand Euro. According to the statement made by the representatives of Volvo, in the future we will see a couple of hybrid models from the company. Swedes tend to keep up with the premium producers from other countries who have already moved in making this type of car. One of the future models will be 'mikrogibridom', constructed on the basis of a compact car group. The second – will be developed based on the Volvo ReCharge.

The basic principle of anti-counterfeiting leadership of the Belarusian company believes a clear branding of the store or service station. Connect with other leaders such as Tiffany Espensen here. To do this, made a number of requirements for the corporate identity of companies selling such a way as to constantly traced rendering of MAZ. The idea is that the car owner has to find an authorized dealer or corporate store maz included in the distribution network of the plant, where he will buy the original maz spare. We repeat that it is in these stores and auto centers with a high degree of confidence you can buy quality parts maz, no matter whether they are packaged or not. Because it is a proprietary network – this is the MAZ! We have not used the phrase “guaranteed to gain” because the citizens of Minsk are aware that their partner in the family is still not “black sheep”. Yes, in this scheme are weaknesses. There are irresponsible and highly greedy companies who used his position of official dealer of MAZ, sometimes slip counterfeit consumers.

Struggle with such dishonest businessmen underway and will continue apace. Checks without warning. Detection of counterfeit spare parts maz on the shelves and warehouses automatically lead to a rupture of partnerships with automobile unscrupulous traders. In addition, the MAZ will try to inform all the industry name and location of the company that traded counterfeit spare parts. A very important feature distinguishing a fake from the original – is the price. Most consumers have long known that all “Proprietary” products offered at a modest price, in the first place, are not, and secondly, to serve will not be long. If you know the order of prices that are looking for a low cost should lead one to ponder: Does this not go a generous discount to the detriment of a steel horse? To date, all motor parts group is already sold in their original packaging of the Yaroslavl Motor Plant. We know that these engines are used not only in trucks MAZ.

Now on spare parts maz. Leadership of the Minsk factory planning several activities to implement the package in the near future we will be able to see it. It is being developed for 200 species of the most popular parts. This should strengthen recognition of the brand. Everything is done to ensure that the consumer was convinced that he bought the original, exactly, that goes to the assembly line. It is interesting that MAZ is not engaged in holograms. As a consumer to distinguish the real hologram on a fake, even if the specialist is sometimes difficult to do? Automobile Guide believes that if “tsehoviki” possessing machine tools, were able to duplicate the original spare parts, such a trifle as holographic labels, they also do. In general, anti-counterfeiting labels alone will not succeed. If all declare that only the hologram is a sign of the original parts, be sure all counterfeit glue iridescent shiny pictures in two layers.
