Cars: Mercedes-Benz Financial Services maintains position as an innovator in mobile te
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services maintains position as an innovator in mobile technology
Customers adapt quickly to convenient account management
WASHINGTON, May 16, 2012 -- Since establishing itself as an innovator in mobile technology with the introduction of an app for the Apple iPhone® in October 2009, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services (MBFS) is seeing steady growth in the number of customers using mobile channels for account management.
Today, nearly 10 percent of the payments MBFS receives through its online payment system are submitted via mobile channels. In the first quarter 2012, the company received $14.1 million, more than double last year's $6.5 million. MBFS sees considerably higher customer satisfaction index (CSI) scores, approximately 6-7 points, for customers using mobile account management options.
"We quickly recognized that mobile devices were a preferred channel for our customer base, and we've tailored our account management offerings around these platforms," Matt Wiethoff, Manager, Business to Consumer Marketing for Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, told members of the Washington Automotive Press Association today at its monthly meeting at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
The iPhone app launch in 2009 was followed in early 2010 with the launch of a mobile version of mbfs.com, accessible from all smart phone devices and capable of accepting monthly payments on MBFS loans and leases. In 2011, MBFS further enhanced the app for iPad® compatibility.
At the close of 2011, the first full year both mobile payment channels were available, the company collected $38 million in payments. MBFS expects to process over $68 million in mobile payments in 2012, eclipsing the total funds collected through mobile channels for the nearly three-year history of its mobile program.
MBFS saw a growth rate of 127 percent in the mobile payment channel in 2011, and continues to evaluate new technologies with the goal of providing account information anytime, anywhere. With over 40% of the total retail portfolio of 530,000 accounts using online, self-service methods, MBFS recognizes the value of emerging technologies in servicing its consumers.
Wiethoff recapped Mercedes-Benz Financial Services' recent initiative to update the app for the iPhone and iPad, adding a sales lead channel for its dealers. Continued expansion of mobile offerings could lead to additional platforms, with new and emerging technologies always being evaluated.

Mercedes-Benz Financial Services B2C Mobile Strategy Chronology
MBFS launches iPhone app for customers to manage accounts, October 2009
MBFS launches smartphone capability to manage accounts, February 2010
MBFS has received approximately $68 million as of Q1 2012 in retail lease/loan payments from iPhones and smartphones via a payment channel established October 2009.

Cars: Quantum Signs Supply Agreement for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Traction Motors
Quantum Signs Supply Agreement for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Traction Motors
IRVINE, Calif., May 18, 2012-- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., a global leader in natural gas, hydrogen and hybrid electric vehicle technologies, today announced that it has signed a supply agreement with Remy International Inc. for its high performance electric traction motors for the Quantum's Plug-In Hybrid Electric (PHEV) F-150, that is based on America's best-selling pickup truck, the Ford F-150.
"We are pleased to secure Remy and other leading suppliers for our plug-in hybrid electric fleet truck program," said Brian Olson, Quantum's CEO. "Quantum is committed to providing a reliable, efficient and cost-effective product to our customers, and Remy will help us meet our goals through their high volume automotive-grade electric motors and strong partnership."
Kevin Quinn, Remy Electric Motors VP/General Manager, commented, "Quantum is a very innovative company, and the PHEV F-150 program is just another great example of their capabilities and drive to move the technology forward. Remy is extremely pleased to be part of their success."
Quantum will integrate the Remy HVH250 traction motor into its "F-Drive" parallel hybrid system that delivers an all-electric range of 35 miles and a hybrid operational range of 400 miles. The PHEV F-150 will have similar performance to the conventional Ford F150 gasoline powered pick-up truck; however, it will operate with zero emissions and zero petroleum fuel consumption for the first 35 miles. After which, its hybrid mode will operate with over a 25% decrease in fuel consumption and over 60% reduction in emissions.
The vehicles were specifically designed for corporate fleets, including current customers Florida Power & Light and The Dow Chemical Company. The F-150 PHEV comes standard with 4WD, but can also be operated in 2WD mode. The vehicle has a payload of up to 900 lbs. and a towing capacity of 5,800 lbs., making it a good choice for truck fleets requiring the performance potential of an electric drive system combined with the utility value of a light-duty pickup truck.

Cars: Volvo Group Emphasizes Need for Sustainable Solutions to Reduce Environmental Fo
Volvo Group Emphasizes Need for Sustainable Solutions to Reduce Environmental Footprint
MIAMI, May 18, 2012 -- In an effort to encourage dialogue and action and to continue in its commitment toward reducing its environmental impact, the Volvo Group recently hosted two sustainability-related seminars during the Volvo Ocean Race stopover in Miami.
The Volvo Group's vision is to become the world leader in sustainable transport solutions by continuously introducing safer and more efficient products and pioneering solutions. Part of Volvo Group's sustainability commitment includes raising awareness about environmental issues.
"Environmental care is one of the Volvo Group's core values," said Olof Persson, president and CEO of the Volvo Group. "Sustainability is critical to reducing the negative impact on the environment, but we must broaden its scope to include the economic and social point of view. I envision a transportation system that enables high productivity through energy-efficient solutions that are safe and secure for people and goods."
"Mobility and Quality of Life in Megacities," was focused on transportation, infrastructure, environment and other challenges facing large urban areas. The second seminar, "Corporate Climate Summit 2012," presented in cooperation with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), fostered dialogue among business leaders about innovative strategies for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and promoting climate protection.
Persson delivered the keynote address during the Corporate Climate Summit, followed by Ralph Reid, vice president of Corporate Responsibility at Sprint.
"We must close the gap between existing efforts to tackle climate change and what's needed for a safer future," said Lou Leonard, managing director of climate change at WWF. "WWF applauds Volvo for stepping forward to reduce its carbon emissions and help make our communities safer and healthier by preparing for the impacts from a changing climate."
The Volvo Group was the world's first automotive manufacturer to join Climate Savers, the WWF program that engages multinational companies to establish ambitious targets and voluntarily reduce their emissions. A recent report stated that Climate Savers companies have collectively cut carbon dioxide emissions by more than 100 million metric tons since 1999. Volvo Group committed to reducing the total amount of CO2 emitted during the lifetime of trucks manufactured and sold from 2009 to 2014 by 13 million tons compared with trucks manufactured in 2008. This agreement was expanded in January 2012 to include Volvo Construction Equipment and Volvo Buses.

Cars: 2012 Polk Inventory Efficiency Award Winners Honored at Global Automotive Afterm
2012 Polk Inventory Efficiency Award Winners Honored at Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium
Awards presented to The Timken Company and Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, Inc.
CHICAGO, May 16, 2012 -- Polk honored The Timken Company and Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, Inc. with the 2012 Polk Inventory Efficiency Award during a ceremony held today at the Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium (GAAS) at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare near Chicago.
The Polk Inventory Efficiency Award program, now in its eighth year, recognizes and rewards outstanding aftermarket companies for process improvements in supply chain and inventory efficiency. This year's awards were presented by Mark Seng, vice president, aftermarket and commercial vehicle and Polk's global aftermarket practice leader, and Stephen Polk, chairman, president and CEO of R. L. Polk & Co.
"We are pleased to recognize the great work of Timken and Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance in this year's program," said Seng. "Their contributions and success in driving industry-leading inventory management and supply chain practices within their businesses serve as a powerful example for others in the automotive aftermarket community."
The Timken Company, based in Canton, Ohio, was recognized in the Manufacturer category. The company recently implemented a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in the U.S. that improved its supply chain efficiencies, including inventory planning, shipping performance, fill rates and customer satisfaction. At the same time, Timken improved its warehouse management system and logistics management operations, fully leveraging its investment in technology. The implementation and integration program increased year-over-year sales by 19 percent, while reducing inventory by 12 percent and increased order fill rates by 13 percentage points.
The new ERP system technology enabled Timken to implement category management processes to proactively identify and address strategic and forward-looking business opportunities, which in turn allowed distributors to capitalize on local market sales opportunities. As a result, Timken was able to leverage this solution across its customer base, and add 134 new customers in 2011. Based on the success of the implementation, Timken is currently working to expand its availability to customers and Timken locations outside of the U.S.
"On behalf of the entire team at Timken, we are pleased to receive this prestigious award from Polk," said Tom Tecklenburg, director, global aftermarket, The Timken Company. "The dedicated work on this program has allowed us to provide customers with added technology and resources that guide their inventory levels, resulting in better mix and reduced returns."
Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance was recognized by Polk in the Retailer/Distributor category. The Alliance, representing 53 individually-owned warehouse distributorships in the U.S., conducts business in the aftermarket under the Auto Value and Bumper-to-Bumper brands.

Cars: Idaho High School Wins National Teen Safe Driving Contest and $10,000
Idaho High School Wins National Teen Safe Driving Contest and $10,000
Lake City High School students 'Act Out Loud' for stronger teen driving laws
NORTHBROOK, Ill., May 18, 2012 -- Thousands of teens have been organizing safe driving activities for the last six months in more than 300 high schools around the country as a part of the Act Out Loud Contest®, sponsored by The Allstate Foundation and National Organizations for Youth Safety®. This year's winner, Lake City High School Business Professionals of America (BPA) chapter in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, was selected based on their participation in three safe driving projects.
Each team of high school students that participated in Act Out Loud engaged in three projects: a Safe-Tee Shirt design, a Creative Community Sign, and a Facebook Yearbook application--where teens could contact their members of Congress and express their support for stronger teen driving laws. Teams earned points for completing each project, with Lake City High School ac*****ulating the most points. Special Judge's Choice and Runner-Up Awards were also awarded.
"The teens made it happen and it was a full school effort. Administration, faculty, and the students all had a major part in creating activities that the whole school could participate in," said Dan Armstrong, advisor for the Business Professionals of America chapter at Lake City High School. "In the end, the teens and everyone at our school will be safer, better drivers on the road because of the Act Out Loud program."
The Lake City High School BPA chapter led in each phase of the overall contest. For the Safe-Tee shirt design portion of the contest, students at the school created more than 600 entries. The one design that was selected and entered into the Act Out Loud contest finished among the contest's top 25 designs. For the Creative Sign phase, they created a banner with a list of Idaho passenger restrictions to help raise awareness of these laws. For the Facebook Yearbook application, they rallied the whole school to get involved and used this online platform to pledge to be safe drivers this summer, which is the deadliest season for teens on the road.
As the grand prize winner, Lake City High School will be awarded $10,000, a private concert from rising musical artist Skyler, and a taped broadcast from their school that will air on Channel One News which will be seen by nearly six million young people in middle schools and high schools across the country.
"Car crashes are the number one killer of teens. In fact, younger, inexperienced drivers crash four times more often than older drivers," said Vicky Dinges, Allstate Vice President, Social Responsibility. "By acting out loud for safe teen driving, students from Lake City High School now have funding for their school's safe driving programs. More importantly, those students will go into the summer months aware of dangers on the road and be even more prepared to get behind the wheel safely."
Additional winners from the Act Out Loud contest included:
Runner Up Winners:
Ada High School, Ada, Okla.
Conroe High School, Conroe, Texas
Fatima R-3, Westphalia, Mo.
Oconee County High School, Watkinsville, Ga.
Stafford Technical Center, Rutland, Vt.
Judges' Choice Winners:
Cape Coral High School, Cape Coral, Fla.
Fulda High School, Fulda, Minn.
John A. Dubiski Career High School, Grand Prairie, Texas
North High School, Bakersfield, Calif.
Stuarts Draft High School, Stuarts Draft, Va.
Act Out Loud winners are announced each May as part of National Youth Traffic Safety Month®. Now in its sixth year, National Youth Traffic Safety Month engages youth from across the country in peer-to-peer education efforts to address the number one cause of death for teens in the U.S. - traffic crashes(1).

Cars: PennDOT, State and Local Police to Conduct Seat-Belt Enforcement Effort
PennDOT, State and Local Police to Conduct Seat-Belt Enforcement Effort
HARRISBURG, Pa., May 21, 2012 -- PennDOT will partner with state and local police in a national "Click It or Ticket" seat-belt enforcement effort through June 10.
The effort will emphasize the state's primary seat-belt law for drivers and passengers under 18 years-old, and will include outreach to boost awareness of seat-belt safety and laws.
"With the busy Memorial Day weekend signaling the start of the summer travel season, I strongly encourage everyone to buckle up every time, no matter how far you're traveling," PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said. "Buckling up is the easiest way to keep you and your loved ones safe; it can increase your chance of surviving a crash by up to 60 percent."
According to PennDOT data, 509 people died last year in unbelted crashes, a decrease from 524 such fatalities in 2010. However, the total number of crashes in which people were not wearing seat belts rose last year to 16,298, compared to 15,442 in 2010.
Police will also focus on nighttime seat-belt enforcement, as 293 unbuckled fatalities occurred last year between 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m., including 145 between 10 p.m. and 2:59 a.m.
"The 'Click It or Ticket' campaign can be a very effective tool for getting people to buckle up," State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said. "We're conducting this enforcement operation for one reason: we want everyone traveling on Pennsylvania roads to reach their destination safely.
"All it takes is a few seconds to buckle your seat belt. Failing to take this simple step could be the difference between a joyful summer and a tragic one, so please buckle up," Noonan added.

Cars: Ford Begins Taking Orders for C-MAX Hybrid - America's Most Affordable, Fue
Ford Begins Taking Orders for C-MAX Hybrid - America's Most Affordable, Fuel-Efficient Hybrid Utility Vehicle
DEARBORN, Mich., May 17, 2012 --
Ford dealers are now taking orders for the Ford C-MAX Hybrid, which will be more affordable than Toyota Prius v while achieving better fuel economy
Class-exclusive technologies include hands-free liftgate, active park assist for easier parallel parking and next-generation SmartGauge® with EcoGuide to help customers increase their fuel economy
C-MAX will launch this fall as part of Ford's power of choice strategy to deliver leading fuel economy across its lineup while tripling electrified vehicle production capacity by 2013
Ford dealers are starting to place orders for America's most affordable and fuel-efficient hybrid utility vehicle – the 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid – with innovative technologies such as a hands-free liftgate, spaciousness for five passengers and cargo as well as the fun-to-drive character shared with well-handling cars including Ford Focus.
The C-MAX is a compact hybrid utility vehicle and the company's first dedicated line of hybrids. The 2013 C-MAX Hybrid will be available this fall with a base price of $25,995 – approximately $500 lower than the Toyota Prius v's base price.
The C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid will follow later this year with better electric-mode fuel economy and overall driving range than the Prius plug-in hybrid.
"C-MAX Hybrid offers better fuel economy, performance, technology and functionality than Prius v – and C-MAX Hybrid customers will pay less at the dealership and at the pump," said Ken Czubay, vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. "Ford is delivering the power of choice for leading fuel economy across its lineup – from EcoBoost to electrified vehicles – because customers increasingly want to save money at the pump, even as gas prices rise over time."
The C-MAX Hybrid blends fuel economy with performance, with projected best-in-class horsepower and torque along with Ford's third-generation powersplit technology that allows for higher speed while in electric mode than Toyota Prius v.
C-MAX Hybrid benefits from 20 years of research and innovation behind the software and hardware technology driving it, with many of Ford's almost 500 hybrid vehicle-related patents contained within.
That means that along with SYNC® with MyFord Touch®, drivers get class-exclusive features like hands-free liftgate (offering hands-free cargo access with a simple kicking motion), SmartGauge® with EcoGuide, regenerative braking and an advanced lithium-ion (li-ion) battery pack that is being used for the first time in a Ford hybrid.
C-MAX Hybrid – being built on Ford's global C-segment platform – also benefits from a proven design and nameplate with more than 156,000 units of the gasoline version sold in Europe since its 2010 launch.
Room to move
C-MAX Hybrid is a compact hybrid utility vehicle jam-packed with features and room for five people and cargo.
The vehicle has a high roofline (63.9 inches) offering ample interior space and flexibility. C-MAX Hybrid offers 99.7 cubic feet of passenger space compared with 97 cubic feet in Prius v. The spacious C-MAX Hybrid also provides greater headroom in both front and rear seats than Prius v (41/39.4 inches vs. 39.6/38.6 inches).
For cargo, C-MAX Hybrid has 60/40 split-fold rear seats that easily fold flat with 54.3 cubic feet of space behind the first row and 24.5 cubic feet behind the second row.
Tech-savvy
C-MAX Hybrid features the company's innovative hands-free liftgate, allowing for quick and easy access to the cargo area without messing with keys. A gentle kicking motion under the rear bumper opens the liftgate when used in combination with a key fob the user keeps in his or her pocket or purse that tells the car it's OK to engage. The same motion can close the liftgate.
The vehicle also features the newest version of MyFord Touch to help inform, enlighten, engage and empower drivers. MyFord Touch offers multiple ways for customers to manage and control their phone, navigation, entertainment and climate functions through voice commands, menus accessed through controls on the steering wheel, touch screens, buttons or knobs.
C-MAX Hybrid also offers the next generation of SmartGauge with EcoGuide. Designed to help drivers get the most from the C-MAX Hybrid, information such as instantaneous fuel economy can be displayed on the left cluster to help drivers more closely monitor how their driving behavior affects the vehicle's efficiency.
The left cluster also shows Brake Coach, a feature that helps drivers optimize their use of the braking system so that driving range can be enhanced through proper braking techniques. In the right cluster, redesigned imagery of green leaves shows overall driving efficiency – as drivers improve their efficient driving, they are rewarded with more leaves.

Cars: Chevrolet Partners With Street League DC Pro Tour Fueled by Monster Energy for t
Chevrolet Partners With Street League DC Pro Tour Fueled by Monster Energy for the 2012 Season
Chevrolet to be the official ride of Street League Skateboarding and will offer a Sonic to the champion and a lucky fan
LOS ANGELES, May 18, 2012 -- Street League Skateboarding and Chevrolet announced today that they have agreed to a partnership that extends to every aspect of the series making Chevrolet the official ride of the upcoming 2012 season.
The dynamic sponsorship will provide series-long excitement for both the fans and the Street League Pros via custom awards and live content branded by Chevrolet. A Chevy Sonic will be awarded to both the 2012 Street League Champion and one lucky Street League fan. Via an online contest, legal U.S. residents will have the opportunity to enter-to-win an identical vehicle to the one presented to the 2012 Champion.
In addition to the championship car giveaway, Chevrolet is now the title sponsor of the "Chevrolet Overdrive" – a special 20-minute format-free jam session featuring the Street League Pros immediately following the finals of each event. Streamed live on Street League's Facebook page, the judges will award the best overall skater from each Chevrolet Overdrive session $10,000 and a custom trophy.
Chevrolet will be visible all-year-long on Streetleague.com with additional content produced by Street League featuring some of the biggest names in skateboarding.
While this represents a new partnership between Street League and Chevrolet, the man behind the league is no stranger to the automaker. In November, Chevrolet teamed up with Street League founder and President Rob Dyrdek to pull off the unthinkable – making the all-new 2012 Chevy Sonic do a "kick flip" from ramp-to-ramp with Rob behind the wheel. The stunt was a focal point of the Sonic's "Let's Do This" campaign, was featured in the Sonic "Anthem" Super Bowl commercial, and was the lead story-line in the premier episode of the fifth season of Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory on MTV.
"With Rob we've found an advocate for the Chevy Brand, especially after he's taken Sonic on some of his most memorable adventures," said Kevin Mayer, director, Chevrolet Advertising. "He's a passionate guy who pushes his bounds and we love the natural fit of the Street League, the Sonic and our customer's youthful spirit."
"From working with Chevrolet to make the Sonic kickflip car a reality, to now creating the Chevrolet Overdrive campaign as well as offering the Championship car for this year's series, we have built an amazing partnership," says Street League creator Rob Dyrdek. "Their dynamic integration into the Street League platform is a testament to their support of not only the series, but to our fans and skateboarding in general."
