Cars: Kia Racing Takes Second At Inaugural Circuit Of The Americas Pirelli World Chall
Kia Racing Takes Second At Inaugural Circuit Of The Americas Pirelli World Challenge Event
Mark Wilkins pilots No. 38 turbocharged Optima to Kia's first podium finish of 2013 season and moves to third place in Driver championship
-- Wilkins finished in the top-five in Rounds Four and Five of the doubleheader weekend in Austin and has finished no lower than sixth in the first five rounds of the 2013 season
-- No. 36 Optima driver Nic Jonsson scored a top-five finish in Round Four on Saturday; on-track incident cut short promising run in Round Five on Sunday
AUSTIN, Texas, May 20, 2013 -- Like a bull rider in a Texas rodeo, Mark Wilkins grabbed the reins of his No. 38 turbocharged Optima and rode it to a well-deserved and hard-fought second-place finish Sunday in Round Five of the Pirelli World Challenge (PWC) at the world-renowned Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas. The relentless Texas heat wreaked havoc on drivers and tires alike, but Wilkins managed the race well from the driver's seat and held off Jack Baldwin's hard-charging Porsche Cayman S for the second step on the podium after a late caution flag bunched up the field of 51 cars with less than 10 minutes to go.
"It was a great weekend for Kia Racing. To grab our first podium of the year feels darn good. The Kinetic crew did an awesome job preparing the No. 38 Optima, and the adjustments they made for Sunday's race paid dividends," said Wilkins, who had never driven COTA until this weekend. "We learned a lot from Round Four on Saturday about tire wear, so on Sunday we focused on being patient and more consistent with the car. The Optima performs so well that, naturally, you want to push it, but we had to make sure we had traction left at the end of the race, and I think our results show that we did a good job of tire management on Sunday."
Wilkins' podium finish moved him up from fourth to third in the Driver Championship as the series turns to another doubleheader weekend in Detroit at the end of May.
Teammate Nic Jonsson drove his No. 36 turbocharged Optima to fifth place in Round Four on Saturday, following fourth-placed Wilkins across the line. Kia Racing's momentum continued into Sunday, with the Optimas running third and fourth throughout much of Round Five's 50-minute contest. With a little over 10 minutes remaining, however, a full-course caution bunched up the field, and on the ensuing restart, Jonsson made heavy contact with the second-place Camaro heading up the hill into turn one. The jarring hit broke the front-right suspension and brake rotor, and Jonsson subsequently collided with the race-leading Camaro, damaging his own car to such an extent that he was unable to continue. Jonsson was credited with a 22nd-place finish and slipped to ninth in the Driver Championship.
"We had a really good car Sunday, and after the caution flag, I felt like we had something for the GTS leaders; I had been saving the tires for the end and this was my chance to make a move," said Jonsson, who was running third at the time of the incident. "I had a run on the second-place car heading up the hill, but everyone is battling for every inch of race track out there and we just got together. Once that happened, I lost my brakes and couldn't avoid further contact. It's unfortunate I collected Lawson while he was in the lead."

Cars: Top Automotive Tech Influencers Headline LA Auto Show's Connected Car Expo
Top Automotive Tech Influencers Headline LA Auto Show's Connected Car Expo
A Who's Who of Industry Thought Leaders to Share Insights on Emerging Vehicle Technology
LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2013 -- No trend in the auto industry is more topical than advanced technology platforms. To underscore that fact, the LA Auto Show confirmed today that two dozen automotive technology experts from companies such as Aha Radio, Auto Alliance, BMW, Delphi, Ford, Gracenote, Hughes Telematics, INRIX, J.D. Power & Associates, Kia, Livio, Pandora, QNX, Sprint Velocity, Strategy Analytics and others, have signed on to participate in the 2013 Connected Car Expo (CCE).
The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) and J.D. Power & Associates, as part of its Western Automotive Conference, have also joined forces with CCE. Together they will address the increasingly important role the dealer plays when training, selling and servicing technology with the end user.
The CCE is designed to be the automotive industry's most comprehensive showcase of the new mobility solutions currently transforming the driving experience. The Expo kicks off November 19, 2013 and continues in conjunction with the 2013 LA Auto Show® Press Days (Nov. 20 & 21).
While the advancements and issues shaping the connected car landscape will hold the spotlight, the CCE is also equally focused on connecting key industry players such as automakers, analysts, suppliers and A-list media in order to create an environment that fosters new opportunities and partnerships.
CCE organizers have designed a variety of expo elements, such as small break-out group discussions and fast-pitch sessions with venture capitalists, which will encourage peer exchange and promote cross-industry collaboration. For example, CCE's opening day lunch will serve as an intimate networking session that allows attendees to participate in six 20-minute modules, each featuring industry leaders representing a mix of automakers and technology experts. Every session will enable one-on-one interactions and be open for questions and an exchange of ideas in a small group format. After 20 minutes, attendees will advance to explore a new topic with a different featured expert and other attendees.
To date, some of the industry leaders participating in the event include:
Robert Acker, General Manager, Aha Radio
Mitch Bainwol, CEO of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers
John Absmeier, Director, Delphi Labs @ Silicon Valley
Ty Roberts, Founder and CTO, Gracenote
Kevin Link, Senior Vice President, Hughes Telematics
Bryan Mistele, President and CEO, INRIX
Mike VanNieuwkuyk, Executive Director, Global Automotive, J.D. Power and Associates.
Henry Bzeih, Kia's Chief Technology Strategist, Connected Car
Jake Segal, President of Livio
George Lynch, Pandora's Vice President Automotive Business Development
Derek Kuhn, VP Sales and Marketing, QNX
Roger Lancot, Associate Director at Strategy Analytics
"The traditional trade conference is typically heavy on panel discussions and any networking is usually an informal part of the event," said Lisa Kaz, President of ANSA Productions, producers of the Los Angeles Auto Show and the Connected Car Expo. "The CCE will ensure the conference delivers the coveted one-to-one relationships that are so valuable in today's fast-paced business environment."
In addition to the luncheon there will be a keynote address, several panels and other interactive thought leadership events slated for day one of CCE, Nov.19. The remaining two days will include exhibits from leading technology suppliers as well as various activities including tours of the show floor led by knowledgeable car technology journalists and exclusive Ride & Drive opportunities designed to put CCE attendees behind the wheel for a hands-on look at the latest connected car technologies.
"The conversations and questions raised at the conference will no doubt be the ones sparking new ideas and concepts in the days ahead, further advancing this quickly evolving sector of the automotive and technology industries," said conference chair and a leading automotive technology expert Doug Newcomb.

Cars: Zero Motorcycles Signs Landmark Fleet Agreement To Provide Electric Motorcycles
Zero Motorcycles Signs Landmark Fleet Agreement To Provide Electric Motorcycles To Hong Kong Government
Yuen Ho Trading Company Announced as Official Zero Distributor in Hong Kong Brokering New Fleet Deal
Hong Kong Police Department and Other Government Agencies to Begin Using Zero S Police Motorcycles
HONG KONG, May 16, 2013 -- Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, today announced it has signed its first eastern Asia distributor, Yuen Ho Trading Company, Ltd. (YHT), based in Hong Kong. In celebration of the occasion, Zero Motorcycles representatives were in Hong Kong presenting the Hong Kong government with 59 MY 2012 Zero S motorcycles as part of Zero's single largest fleet sale to date. The majority of the units will be provided to the Hong Kong Police Department for patrolling and special event purposes with a small allocation of the police motorcycles going to the Hong Kong Airport Police for traffic enforcement. The Hong Kong Agricultural, Fisheries and Conservation Department will be using select motorcycles at country parks. The Transport Department will be using a selected number of motorcycles to conduct motorcycle rider examinations, and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department will be using their Zero S motorcycles for general transportation throughout Hong Kong supporting public parks. All 59 motorcycles were purchased by the Hong Kong government through YHT. Zero Motorcycles participated in an open RFP process and was awarded the contract based on meeting criteria in regards to performance, reliability, after sales commitments and the low cost of operation of the Zero S motorcycle.
"This is an incredible new relationship that has been forged between YHT, the Hong Kong government and Zero Motorcycles. Our international authority fleet programs continue to be one of our most successful channels for distribution and we look forward to working with the Hong Kong government on current and future programs," said John Lloyd, Vice President, Global Sales, Zero Motorcycles. "We couldn't put this program together without YHT. They are an invaluable new partner for Zero. It's our intention to keep securing strong partnerships like YHT in Asia as it's one of the fastest growing e-markets in the world."
The Hong Kong government will be using the Zero S motorcycle for a series of different activities, which includes: traffic enforcement and patrolling, special police events, marathon support, country park service and more. All 59 motorcycles are based on Zero's highly popular 2012 MY Zero S. The Zero S has an approximate range of 89 miles on a single charge with a top speed of 88 miles per hour. The Police motorcycles have been up fitted with a series of components developed exclusively for traffic enforcement.
"We are glad to see the Hong Kong Government's order become the largest order in Asia. Deploying electric vehicles like the Zero S helps reduce Hong Kong's carbon footprint. We are very passionate about contributing to environmental protection," says Ophelia Lin, General Manager, Yuen Ho Trading Company, Ltd. "To introduce Zero to Hong Kong means a small but impactful contribution in the long term."
Leading up to a highly visible Zero launching ceremony, representatives from Zero held a training session with the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD), and conducted rider training for government riders preparing to take part in using their MY 2012 Zero S motorcycles within their particular venues.
The launching ceremony took place on Thursday, May 16, 2013 at the Hong Kong Science Park at the Atrium Link. Guest speakers included:
Mr. Scott Shaw, Chief Commercial Consul, American Consulate General
Mr. Edmond Ho, Principal Environmental Protection Officer (Mobile Sources), Environmental Protection Department
Various governmental officials/representatives from the Hong Kong Police Department, EMSD, Fire Services and US Consulate staff
Representatives from various commercial companies, driving schools and educational institutions

Cars: Chrysler Group's WCM Academy Takes Top Honors in Manufacturing Leadership A
Chrysler Group's WCM Academy Takes Top Honors in Manufacturing Leadership Award Competition
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 16, 2013 -- Chrysler Group LLC's World Class Manufacturing (WCM) Academy received top honors in the 2013 Manufacturing Leadership 100 (ML100) Awards, being named a High Achiever in the New Workforce category at the Manufacturing Leadership Summit award gala in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Wednesday, May 15.
The High Achiever award recognizes the Company for receiving the highest score in the category, which identifies companies that involve education and training, knowledge management and transfer, and collaboration with educational institutions as integral to the advancement of manufacturing. Mauro Pino, Chrysler Group's Head of World Class Manufacturing, and General Holiefield, UAW Vice President and Director of the Chrysler Department, accepted the award on behalf of the more than 45,000 Chrysler Group manufacturing employees who have embraced the World Class Manufacturing philosophy.
"We are honored that the WCM Academy has received such high praise from industry leaders who understand that the path to long-term success for any company is through its people," said Pino. "The human element is at the center of WCM, which has become a way of life for Chrysler Group workers. We would not be where we are today in transforming our Company and our culture without the cooperation and support of the UAW and CAW; it's a team effort."
In its ninth year, the ML100 Awards honor those shaping the future of global manufacturing. The awards target projects and individual manufacturing leaders that demonstrate achievement across a wide variety of domains including sustainability, operational excellence, workforce development, innovation, entrepreneurship and industry advocacy.
"The implementation of WCM has been critical to our ability to return Chrysler to profitability and secure more than 8,000 new hourly positions in the U.S. since June 2009," said Holiefield. "The Chrysler Group workforce has embraced WCM, overcome challenges and changed the culture within our facilities. The Academy is accelerating this progress by providing opportunities for those on the shop floor to share know-how and develop critical skills that will continue to move the Company forward."
Frost & Sullivan's Manufacturing Leadership Council judged hundreds of nominations across 11 categories. Seven of the ML100 categories celebrate outstanding projects undertaken and completed by a manufacturing company while the four remaining categories recognize the achievements of individual manufacturing executives. Judges look for projects or individuals that set themselves apart from the competition by delivering clear and compelling value, and other tangible results. Chrysler Group's WCM Academy was one of seven to be recognized in the New Workforce category.
The WCM Academy opened its doors in January 2012 and occupies about 25,000-square-feet of the UAW-Chrysler Technology Training Center in Warren, Mich. The Academy was created to accelerate WCM implementation by combining classroom and laboratory sessions, with the emphasis on hands-on exercises in problem solving. With a mission to transfer WCM "know-how," the Academy trained more than 3,400 workers from across the Company's North American manufacturing facilities in its first year, far exceeding its goals. Those participating in Academy classes apply their learnings and begin making improvements as soon as they return to their plants, delivering real and measurable benefits for the Company.
First implemented by Fiat in 2006 and introduced to Chrysler Group as part of the alliance between the two companies in June 2009, WCM is a methodology that focuses on reducing waste, increasing productivity, and improving quality and safety in a systematic and organized way. WCM engages the workforce to provide and implement suggestions on how to improve their jobs and their plants. WCM has become the driving force behind the improvements in all of Chrysler Group's manufacturing plants with four facilities achieving Bronze status, a significant milestone in the WCM process, in 2012.

Cars: 2014 Subaru Forester Aces Tough New Crash Test; Earns New IIHS 2013 Top Safety P
2014 Subaru Forester Aces Tough New Crash Test; Earns New IIHS 2013 Top Safety Pick+ Rating
- All-new The 2014 Subaru Forester is the first vehicle to ace every aspect of the challenging small overlap front crash test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
- Forester is also the only small SUVs to earn an overall rating of good in the test
CHERRY HILL, N.J., May 16, 2013 -- Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that the all-new 2014 Forester has received a Top Safety Pick+ (TSP+) award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2014 Subaru Forester is the first vehicle to ace every aspect of the challenging small overlap front crash test conducted by the IIHS. The Forester is the only one of 13 small SUVs to earn an overall rating of good in the test. This is not the first time that the Forester has stood out in a new IIHS crash test. When the Institute first rated small SUVs for side protection in 2003, the Subaru model performed the best and was one of only two vehicles to earn good ratings.
"With the redesigned Forester, Subaru's engineers set out to do well in our new test, and they succeeded," says Joe Nolan, the Institute's vice president for vehicle research. "This is exactly how we hoped manufacturers would respond to improve protection for people in these kinds of serious frontal crashes."
This award builds on Subaru's safety reputation and is the first IIHS designation for 2014 model year Subaru vehicles. Subaru is the only manufacturer with 2013 IIHS Top Safety Pick for all models and the only brand with IIHS Top Safety Picks for all models for four years running (2010-2013). The 2014 Forester is the third Subaru vehicle to earn the TSP+ award. The 2013 Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback (built after August 2012) were awarded the Institute's 2013 TSP+ designation in late-2012. The award requires a "Good" or "Acceptable" rating in the Institute's new small overlap frontal crash test in addition to meeting the base "TSP" award criteria.
"Safety is one of our brand tenets and so we are extremely proud to have earned a TSP+ rating for Forester and a third Top Safety Pick+ rating for our brand," said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. "The Forester is the most award winning small SUV in America and now we have another designation for this venerable vehicle."
