between 11 and 12 Mile Roadsin Warren.Janice Grant, a professor and

Sometimes one just wants toshow off what one can do.That was the thinking behind a

recent special Ford Mustang Dayheld at the M-1 private race trackin Pontiac.Mike Levine, Ford Product

communications manager, saidthe June 11 gathering was de-signed to be a great way to showoff just what the entire lineup ofFord Mustangs can do.“This is such a great American

car,” Levine said. “It’s truly aniconic vehicle that is popularhere and around the world.”Given that fact, Levine said

Ford wants to show the worldjust what all the Mustang edi-tions can do. So the companyorganized a special Mustang Dayon June 11 at the M-1 RaceCourse in Pontiac. Automotivejournalists and bloggers were in-vited to the track and given the

opportunity to drive differenteditions of the Mustang aroundthe closed-course track with thehelp and guidance of profession-al drivers and driving teachers.“This event gives us a chance

to showcase the Mustang, reallyall the Mustangs,” Levine said.“We are talking about the Mus-tang GT, a popular eight-cylindarcar, to the Mustang GT 350,which has a 5.2-liter engine withflat plane crank V8 engine thatgives even more performance toMustang enthusiasts.”Mark Schaller, brand manager

for the Mustang, said that eventslike the June 11 gathering are im-portant for the brand.“We get to show off the cool

Mustang editions,” Schaller said.“A lot of what makes the Mus-tang successful is the breadth ofofferings. Our entry-level Mus-tang has 310 horsepower. That’s

Ford Shows the World JustWhat Its Mustangs Can Do

There are some interestingtimes ahead for the auto indus-try.That was the message given by

Bank of America Merrill LynchAutomotive Analyst John Mur-phy at a special AutomotivePress Association presentationlast week at the Gem Theater.Murphy said several factors

are in play that will have a greatimpact on the industry and notall of them are related to newtechnologies. For example, leas-ing has become a larger part ofnew vehicle sales.That trend started in 2016 and

has continued, Murphy said. Cur-rently, leasing accounts for about25 percent of new vehicle sales –10 percent above previous levels.That has helped drive sales asthe average cost of a monthlylease payment has stayed stablewhile the average cost of a loanpayment has continued to rise.But the downside is that peo-

ple new to leasing – and not usedto the whole cycle of leasing an-other car when the current leaseis up – might decide to transitionto the used-car market, Murphysaid. And the number of vehicles

coming off lease in 2019 is fourmillion.That’s a jaw-dropping number,

Murphy said. It could result in a

Sustainability is integral toGeneral Motors’ business strate-gy and core to the company’sglobal operations, as demon-strated in its latest SustainabilityReport (gmsustainability.com).The report, issued on June 12,

shows how GM, guided by the vi-sion of a future with zero crash-es, zero emissions and zero con-gestion, is addressing societaland environmental challengeswhile transforming the future ofmobility, said General MotorsChairman and CEO Mary Barra.By tackling these issues, Barra

said, GM has the potential global-ly each year to help save some ofthe 1.25 million lives lost in vehi-cle crashes; help eliminate themore than 2 billion metric tons ofcarbon dioxide from vehicleemissions; and reduce conges-tion, giving commuters back timeotherwise spent in traffic.“We are in the midst of a trans-

portation revolution as ground-breaking technologies and evolv-ing customer lifestyles transformour vehicles and how we usethem,” said Barra. “We have theright team, technology, partners,manufacturing scale and mindsetto lead this revolution.”Highlights from the 2017 Sus-

tainability Report include:• Delivering an electrified fu-

ture – With at least 20 new, all-electric models launching global-ly by 2023, General Motors ispoised to deliver on its vision ofan all-electric, emissions-free fu-ture.

In response to global demand,Bolt EV production will increasethis year.The company also is posi-

tioned to lead in key EV markets,including the U.S. and China, andit is partnering with utilities,communities, governments andothers to accelerate the charginginfrastructure while working to

increase consumer acceptance.• Furthering fuel efficiency –

As General Motors moves closerto an all-electric portfolio, near-term improvements across tradi-tional vehicles continue, includ-ing the company’s efficient fun-damentals strategy with ad-vances in engine and transmis-sion efficiency, aerodynamics, ve-hicle lightweighting and othertechnologies to reduce fuel useand cost. Since 2016, General Mo-tors has shed more than 5,000pounds across 14 new-vehiclemodels, saving 35 million gallonsof gasoline and 300 thousandmetric tons of CO2 emissions peryear.• Advancing autonomous driv-

ing – General Motors is the firstautomaker to use mass-produc-tion methods for autonomousvehicles (AVs) and is the onlycompany to produce self-drivingvehicles at scale, said the report.Marking a significant milestone,the company announced thatproduction versions of theCruise AV will be built at GeneralMotors’ Orion Assembly plant inMichigan, with commercializa-tion in 2019.• Reshaping personal mobility

– In response to increasing globalpopulations in urban areas, theMaven suite of shared mobilitysolutions has expanded to capi-talize on the growing popularityof car sharing and ridesharingand is reducing congestion.• Accelerating and scaling re-

newable energy – Progress con-tinues on General Motors’ pledgeto source 100 percent renewableenergy for its electricity needsglobally by 2050. The companyuses 371 megawatts of energyfrom renewable sources now, andby the end of 2018 renewable en-ergy will power 20 percent of thecompany’s global electricity use.• Responsible Manufacturing

– Since 2010, General Motors hasreduced the energy intensity ofits operations by 15 percent, gen-erating $135 million in cost sav-ings. The company surpassed its2020 goal to reduce the carbonintensity of its operations by 20percent three years early.• Driving social impact – As

the U.S. lags behind other na-tions in its pipeline of STEM tal-ent, General Motors is focusedon more than 100 initiatives to re-verse this trend. Through its sup-port for Code.org, the companywill reach 40,000 secondary stu-dents in 2018. On average, Gener-al Motors actively recruits an em-ployee for a STEM position every26 minutes.• Workforce diversity – Gener-

al Motors invests in leader skills

development through its Womenin Action Initiative, which attract-ed more than 6,700 employeeparticipants. And 32 percent oftop leadership positions at Gen-eral Motors are held by women.General Motors’ integrated ap-

proach to sustainability includesstakeholder engagement andproactive and voluntary disclo-sure, Barra said. Independentthird parties have recognized thecompany’s progress.It has been named to the Dow

Jones Sustainability Index –North America and World In-dices, was ranked in the Just 100by Just Capital as the only au-tomaker on the list and wasnamed as one of the 100 BestCorporate Citizens for the sec-ond year in a row.

Lear Corporation of Southfield,a global supplier of automotiveseating and electrical systems,has hired John Absmeier as chieftechnology officer to lead all as-pects of the company’s technolo-gy and innovation efforts.Absmeier will join Lear on

June 18, and report to Ray Scott,Lear president and CEO, saidspokesman Mel Stephens.Absmeier has outstanding aca-

demic credentials and deep auto-motive technology, engineeringand business experience, saidScott.Most recently, Absmeier was

responsible for the ADAS/Au-tonomous business unit as sen-ior vice president and generalmanager at Harman Internation-al, and the vice president ofSmart Machines at SamsungElectronics where he led the ac-quisition of Harman by Samsung.Absmeier joined Samsung in

2015 from Delphi, where he had a19-year career including founderand managing director of Delphi

Labs @ Silicon Valley and Au-tonomous Driving, as well as be-ing the business director forElectronic Controls and Electrifi-cation in Asia-Pacific for sixyears.He also held several roles of in-

use air, water and other materialresources in a way that promotesenergy efficiency and a cleaner,greener environment.“We have buildings and land-

scaping that, in the end, not onlydo not detract from the environ-ment, but actually add to it.”And one way to achieve that

goal, Grant said, is through thecreation and use of “rain” gar-dens that use local plants to re-tain rainwater on green areas.“This project is a part of a larg-

er effort to conserve water andcapture rain on this particular M-TEC site so that when it rains,the water just doesn’t drain offinto the local sewer system,”Grant said.“We try to avoid rainwater

runoff because it saves moneyand water resources. By beingable to retain rainwater, we don’thave to pay to water our ownlawns to keep them green.”Preparation for the approxi-

mate 1,200-square-foot gardensbegan with the installation of anunderdrain and the cultivation ofa soil mixture that consists ofsand, compost and a soil specifi-cally designed to retain and treatstormwater, Grant said.The gardens feature three

zones, based on habitat prefer-ence, ease of upkeep, colorthroughout the seasons and abil-ity to develop a deep root sys-tem. The lowest elevation zone(18 inches) features plants thatthrive in wet conditions, the nextlevel of plants prefer semi-wetconditions and the top level has

plants with lower wetness prefer-ence.The soil mixture, combined

with the plants’ root system, willfilter out oil and grease as well ascapture nutrients so they don’tenter the waterway.The rain gardens are part of a

greening project funded by anearly $66,000 Michigan Depart-ment of Environmental Qualitygrant to Macomb CommunityCollege to improve water qualityin the Red Run tributary.It is expected that the rain gar-

dens will capture and naturallyfiltrate any rainstorm of three

inches or less, thus eliminatingas much as 12,000 gallons ofwater from entering the stormwater system, Grant said.Donald D. Carpenter was the

Michigan Department of Environ-ment Quality’s (DEQ) representa-tive at the M-TEC garden plant-ing.“The DEQ was glad to fund this

project and work with MCC,” Car-penter said. “It’s part of our man-date to help create a cleaner,healthier watershed. The wholeproject has been in the works forabout two years. The grant appli-cation was submitted in 2016.”

MCC to Offer Tesla Technician Course Beginning in Fall

A Tesla SUV using the compa-ny’s semi-autonomous Autopilotdriving system accelerated justbefore crashing into a Californiafreeway barrier, killing its driver,federal investigators have deter-mined.The National Transportation

Safety Board, in a preliminary re-port on the March 23 crash, alsosaid that data shows the Model XSUV did not brake or try to steeraround the barrier in the threeseconds before the crash in Sili-con Valley. The NTSB says it nowwill examine the cause of thecrash.Tesla wouldn’t say if the sys-

tem performed as designed. Aspokeswoman referred to a com-pany blog saying that a Teslawith Autopilot is far safer thanvehicles without it. The blog saysAutopilot does not prevent allcrashes but makes them less like-ly.The crash on U.S. 101 killed the

driver, Walter Huang, 38, an Ap-ple software engineer.In the report released June 7,

the NTSB said the SUV was oper-ating with traffic-aware cruisecontrol and autosteer lane-keep-ing assistance engaged at thetime of the crash. The cruise con-trol maintains a set distance be-tween the cars and traffic in frontof them. The SUV also wasequipped with automatic emer-gency braking, which is alwayson in Tesla vehicles unless cus-tomers deactivate it by takingseveral steps on the vehicletouch screen.According to the report, dur-

ing the 60 seconds before thecrash, Huang’s hands were de-tected on the steering wheelthree times for a total of 34 sec-onds. But for the last six sec-onds before the crash, hands

were not detected on the steer-ing wheel.Eight seconds before the crash,

the SUV was following a vehicleand traveling about 65 mph. Asecond later, the SUV began a“left steering movement” whilestill following the other vehicle.Four seconds before the crash,the Tesla wasn’t following a vehi-cle any more. A second later, itaccelerated from 62 mph to 70.8mph “with no pre-crash brakingor evasive steering movement de-tected,” the report said.When the SUV moved to the

left, it entered a triangular “gorearea” that is marked with whitelines and divides the freewaylanes from an exit ramp. Then ithit the barrier, which wasequipped with an accordion-likedevice to absorb impact in acrash. But that device had beendamaged in a previous crash onMarch 12.It likely will take more than a

year to determine what causedthe crash, NTSB spokesmanChristopher O’Neil said lastweek. Among other factors, in-vestigators are trying to deter-mine how the car’s camera, radarand ultrasonic sensors wereworking and what they weretracking.“The focus isn’t Tesla’s tech-

nology,” he said. “The focus is onwhat led to this crash and howdo we prevent it from happeningagain.”Tesla’s system may have a

problem spotting or stopping forstationary objects. Federal agen-

cies are investigating two othercrashes in which Teslas ran intostopped fire department vehi-cles.In January, a Tesla Model S

sedan that may have been usingAutopilot hit a parked firetruckon Interstate 405 near Los Ange-les. The driver told authoritiesthe Autopilot was working at thetime. The firetruck was unoccu-pied and no injuries wereclaimed by anyone at the crashscene, authorities said. NTSB,along with the National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration, aregulatory agency that can seekrecalls and fine automakers, areinvestigating that crash.NHTSA also is looking into a

May 11 crash involving a TeslaModel S near Salt Lake City. Auto-pilot was in use when the car hita stopped fire department truck.The driver of the vehicle told

police she thought the Tesla’sautomatic emergency brakingsystem would detect traffic andstop before the car hit anothervehicle.A Tesla spokeswoman pointed

to passages in the company’sowners’ manual warning that au-tomatic emergency braking is de-signed to reduce severity of acrash and isn’t designed to avoida collision. It also may not workall the time, the manual says. “Itis the driver’s responsibility todrive safely and remain in con-trol of the vehicle at all times,” itsays. “Never depend on Automat-ic Emergency Braking to avoid orreduce the impact of a collision.”

NTSB Investigating Fatal Tesla AV Crash

DETROIT (AP) – Electric carmaker Tesla Inc. is laying offabout 3,600 workers mainly fromits salaried ranks as it slashescosts in an effort to deliver onCEO Elon Musk’s promise to turna profit in the second half of theyear.In an email to workers on June

12, Musk said the cuts amount toabout 9 percent of the compa-ny’s workforce of 40,000.Tesla would not say how much

money the layoffs would save,but said no factory workerswould be affected as the compa-ny continues to ramp up produc-tion of its lower-priced Model 3compact car.“Tesla has grown and evolved

rapidly over the past severalyears, which has resulted insome duplication of roles andsome job functions that, whilethey made sense in the past, aredifficult to justify today,’’ Muskwrote in the email. He thankeddeparting employees for theirhard work and said Tesla is pro-viding “significant salary andstock vesting’’ to those being letgo, based on their length of serv-ice. Tesla has not made an annu-al profit in its 15 years of doingbusiness, and it has posted onlytwo quarterly net profits.At the company’s annual

shareholder meeting earlier this

month, Musk said he expectedthe Palo Alto, Calif., company topost a quarterly profit during theJuly-September period. For near-ly all of its history, Tesla has putup losses while investing heavilyin technology, manufacturingplants and an extensive car-charging network.It’s not the first time Tesla has

laid off workers. The companylet go of 400 to 700 workers lastfall after completing annual per-formance reviews, and it laid offa small number of workers backin 2008.Musk wrote in the email that

the company will never achieveits mission to help move theworld to cleaner energy “unlesswe eventually demonstrate thatwe can be sustainably prof-itable.’’The company is making the

move now so it “never has to doit again,” he wrote. Tesla still hasa significant need for productionworkers as it tries to reach Mod-el 3 manufacturing targets, hewrote in the email.The layoffs come in engineer-

ing, sales and other front-officefunctions, but the company saysthe remaining workforce is largeenough to accomplish Musk’slofty goals of rolling out a semi,pickup truck and a new SUV inthe coming years.

TOKYO (AP) – Japan’s topautomaker Toyota Motor Corp. isinvesting $1 billion in Grab, theleading ride-hailing company inSoutheast Asia, the companysaid June 13.Toyota said it reached a deal

with Grab Holdings to strengthenthe existing partnership to growin mobility services in the region.A Toyota executive will be ap-

pointed to Grab’s board and an-other Toyota official is beingtapped to be an executive officerat Grab, the company said.Grab, which is similar to Uber

in the U.S., is in eight nations inthe region, including Malaysia,Singapore, Thailand and Indone-sia.Uber’s Southeast Asian opera-

tions were acquired by Grab ear-lier this year. Uber retained a

27.5 percent stake in the newmerged entity.Toyota was initially cautious

about ride-sharing and autono-mous-driving technology.In recent years, the maker of

the Camry sedan, Prius hybridand Lexus luxury models hasbeen aggressively playing catch-up, signing on partners aroundthe world. Grab, based in Singa-pore, has attracted investmentsfrom SoftBank, a Japanese tech-nology and telecommunicationscompany, and Didi Chuxing, aChinese ride-sharing and autono-mous driving company.In Japan, where Uber has been

trying to grow, ride-sharing isfacing resistance from the na-tion’s powerful networking ofcab companies, especially in ur-ban areas like Tokyo.

BERLIN (AP) – AutomakerVolkswagen said June 13 that it’sbeing fined 1 billion euros ($1.18billion) by German authorities inconnection with the diesel emis-sions scandal.

Volkswagen said in a state-ment it would accept the fine im-posed by prosecutors in the Ger-man city of Braunschweig.

Prosecutors concluded thatVolkswagen failed to properlyoversee the activity of its enginedevelopment department, result-ing in some 10.7 million diesel ve-hicles with illegal emissions-con-trolling software being soldworldwide.

The scandal, which came tolight in the United States in 2015,has already cost the German au-tomaker $20 billion in fines andcivil settlements in the U.S.

Volkswagen said it hoped thatpaying the German fine wouldhave “positive effects on otherofficial proceedings being con-ducted in Europe against Volks-wagen and its subsidiaries.

Volkswagen admitted in 2015to cheating on U.S. emissionstests by equipping diesel carswith software that turned onemissions controls when the ve-hicles were on test stands, andreduced the controls during nor-mal driving.

Volkswagen CEO Martin Win-terkorn was charged in March inthe U.S. with wire fraud and con-spiring to violate the U.S. CleanAir Act.

Two lower-ranking Volkswagenexecutives have been sentencedto prison in the United States,while five others have beencharged but not been appre-hended.

The German prosecutors areinvestigating Winterkorn and 48others in connection with theemissions scandal.

Winterkorn resigned days afterthe U.S. government accusedVolkswagen of evading emissionsstandards, saying at the timethat he was not aware of anywrongdoing on his part.

German Government FinesVolkswagen $1.18 Billion

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. (AP) –A man has been charged withthreatening to “shoot up” a Flori-da car dealership because of hisvehicle’s mechanical problems.

The SunSentinel reports 26-year-old Christopher Cave calledthe Pines Ford Lincoln dealer-ship on June 2.

“Guess what?” Cave said in a98-second telephone message.“Kids shoot up schools,” he said,adding that they take his car pay-ments but his car isn’t right.

Then he said, “I shoot up deal-erships.”

Police said the manager sentthree employees home becausehe feared for their lives.

Cave is charged with making afalse threat.

He told investigators he leftthe message because he wasfrustrated with the dealership’swork on his car.

Cave was arrested June 4, andwas being held Monday on$125,000 bond.

Man Threatens Dealership

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) – Thestate of Vermont and people whobought certain Volkswagendiesel models that were rigged tocheat on emissions tests will begetting a total of $6.5 millionfrom the automaker, Vermont At-torney General T.J. Donovan an-nounced June 13.

Under the terms of the settle-ment, VW will pay Vermont con-sumers up to $1,000 for eachqualifying VW, Audi and Porschevehicle from the model years2009 to 2016 sold or leased in thestate. VW will also pay $3.6 mil-lion, minus expenses and admin-istration, into the state’s generalfund.

“This is good news for Vermon-

ters,” Donovan said. “Vermontersexpect and deserve truth in ad-vertising – especially when itcomes to making decisions in-volving environmental impacts.’’

This settlement with Vermontannounced last week is in addi-tion to a previous $4.2 millionsettlement for violations of Ver-mont environmental laws andrules.

“Volkswagen’s agreement withVermont fully resolves all claimsasserted by the state related tothe diesel matter,” VWspokesman Mike Tolbert said.

VW has admitted rigging dieselemissions technology to triggercertain pollution results onlyduring testing.

and trucks, one boat and 44 mo-torcycles registered for theshow,” Tonietto said. “Everyshow has a different theme. Thisyear, we wanted cars thatshowed the influences of designof the times, so, for example, artdeco was a big influence on carsof the 1930s, so we looked forcars that showed an art deco in-fluence.”Tonietto said there is a com-

mittee that, once the theme ofthe year is determined, works allyear to find cars appropriate forthe show.“Glen Durmisevich picks the

theme each year,” Tonietto said.“And he helps us look for waysthat theme can be demonstrat-ed. This year, we have a coupleof tents that show off otheritems that reflect different stylesof design. So people are able tosee furniture that reflects art de-co or post-war modern styles. Ifind it fascinating that some carsof the 1930s show off the influ-ence of aviation designs forplanes.”Each year, the show raises

money for the Henry Ford HealthSystem’s Detroit Institute of Oph-thalmology, EyesOn Design is amajor source of funding for theDIO’s research, education andsupport group programs for thevisually impaired. The DIO is adivision of the Department ofOphthalmology of the nonprofitHenry Ford Health System.Tonietto said that, while they

haven’t counted all the moneythey raised, the goal is to beat2017’s $100,000 in donations andticket sales.“This is an event that can be

higher than the 300-horsepowerMustang GT that Ford launchedback in 2005. Even our entry lev-el Mustang is super-capable andsuper-fun to drive.”Schaller said the new 2018

Mustang GT offers 460 horse-power and the Bullitt Mustang of-fers 480 horsepower. The Mus-tang GT 350 tops Ford’s offeringswith 526 horsepower.“When we talk about what

each edtion of the Mustang hasto offer, we see that they havedifferent characteristics,”Schaller said. “Having that kindof breadth allows customers tochoose what they want and dialup or down on what characteris-tics they want. And I think everyMustang we build will meet acustomer’s particular expecta-tions.”Ford has been selling Mus-

tangs to 146 countries aroundthe world since 2015.“It’s great that a car designed

and manufactured in Michigan isa true world car,” Schaller said.“You should see the productionline at Flat Rock Assembly Plant.We have all kinds of differentMustangs going down the line, in-cluding right-steering wheel edi-tions built for the British andJapanese markets. The Mustangisn’t just the best-selling sportscar in the U.S., it’s the best-sell-ing sports car in the world.”And Ford wants to keep it that

way, Schaller said. So the compa-ny is constantly working on im-proving performance.“Part of why we are holding

this event at a race track with somany curves is that we want toshow off the Mustang’s lateralmoves,” Schaller said.“In the past, the Mustang has

had a reputation for going veryfast in a staight line, but not sogreat around a curve. Since 2015,we’ve made great improvementsso it can make a right or left turn.It’s really exciting to see how thishas become a world car.”And Ford is not resting on its

laurels, Schaller said. The engi-neers and designers are con-stantly working on improvingperformance and the feel of driv-ing a Mustang.“It’s that effort to constantly

improve that makes the Mustangsuch a great car to drive,”Schaller said. “It’s a car for a pas-sionate customer base. Theylove the Mustang around theworld as much as they love ithere in the States.“We’re proud to show off what

the Mustang can do, and that’swhy we’re holding this event – tolet the rest of the world knowwhat Mustangs can do.”

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) – AAAMichigan says average gasprices statewide have edged upabout a penny in the past weekto about $3.01 per gallon.The Dearborn-based auto club

said on June 10 that the averageprice for self-serve regular un-leaded gasoline is about 59 centsmore than at the same point lastyear.Michigan’s lowest average

price was about $2.93 in the Tra-verse City area. The highest wasabout $3.05 in the Ann Arborarea. The Detroit-area’s averagewas about $3.02, down about 1cent per gallon. AAA Michigansurveys daily fuel prices at 2,800gas stations across the state.

Gas Prices SeeSlight Increase

lot of vehicles hitting the used-car market, putting pressure onprices.One of the biggest market

trends for the upcoming fewyears is the growing demand forCUVs, Murphy said. The profitmargin is higher than sedans ofsimilar sizes and the public reallylikes them.As a result, he said, all auto-

makers will be pursuing profits inthat market segment.“It makes sense,” Murphy said.

“But as a result, some automak-ers, such as German luxurybrands, will be getting into thatsegment.”They will stake out the higher

end of the CUV market, drivingdown the prices of CUVs in theless expensive niches of the vehi-cle segment. But given CUV pop-ularity, it’s a segment that auto-makers have to be in.“It’s a market OEMs have to

chase,” Murphy said. “In the nextfew years, the total number ofCUVs on the road will go fromabout 86 million right now tomore than 130 million by theyear 2021.”Another factor that could push

down profits from CUVs is theprice of gasoline, Murphy said.The U.S. is coming out of a timewhen gas prices were historicallylow. A rise in price is inevitable.But as prices rise, consumers areunlikely to switch to smaller,more fuel-efficient cars as wasthe pattern in the past.Now, consumers will likely

switch to smaller, more fuel-effi-cient CUVs and SUVs. That willput pressure on OEM profits be-cause profits per CUV and SUVare smaller when the vehicles aresmaller.The future of powertrains is

harder to predict, Murphy said.Soon, Internal Combustion En-

gines (ICE) will make up about 50percent of total OEM offerings,with hybrids taking up the major-ity of the remaining market. Com-plete Electric Vehicles are hardto make affordable on a massproduction basis, which is whyTesla has enjoyed the upper endmarket to itself.But tesla faces serious chal-

lenges from OEMs like BMW andJaguar.These manufacturers will be

offering EVs soon, and they havefar greater expertise in makingluxury vehicles than Tesla. Sowhen Tesla doesn’t have the highend market to itself, the compa-ny could find itself pushed out ofthe market.The real difficulty in getting

EVs to be more accepted withthe public is cost, Murphy said.Once costs come down in thenext five years, he expects to seeEV sales become a larger part ofthe automotive market as the ve-hicles become more affordablefor the average car buyer.Autonomous Vehicles (AVs)

will need support from road in-frastructure to become trulypractical. When AVs can commu-nicate with infrastructure andwhen vehicles can communicatewith each other, they will be-come practical and drivable onpublic roads.And by being able to better

handle driving through this com-munication, it might be possiblefor true AVs to travel safely onroads at speeds of 150 to 200mph.If that happens, automakers

won’t be taking market sharefrom each other, they’ll be takingmarket share from transporta-tion providers such as Amtrakand airlines that handle relative-ly short trips, such as Detroit toChicago, or maybe even citiesfarther apart, such as Detroit toNew York, Murphy said.

Murphy was also very bullishon GM. He noted that if GM isable to set up any sort of workingAV delivery system in the testcities of San Francisco orPhoenix, then GM will win a greatvictory in the eyes of the public.Such a system wouldn’t be a fi-nancial windfall, but it would putGeneral Motors ahead of all ri-vals in the eyes of the public,which would provide GM withsome practical advantages overthe competition.This would enable the compa-

ny to raise the “huge” amounts ofmoney required to perfect AVtechnology at lower interestrates, Murphy said.When asked about GM Cruise

vehicle and how it compared toWaymo purchasing 62,000Chrysler Pacificas, Murphy saidGM looked to have the edge.The reason is because GM AV

system was totally integrated inthe design and engineeringprocess of the Cruise.Waymo, on the other hand, is

buying vehicles and adding theAV technology on top of existingsystems.By being able to integrate all

its technologies in the initial de-sign process, General Motors en-joys a big advantage, Murphysaid.And General Motors has the

plants and expertise to manufac-ture all the AVs they want at apace that is profitable for thecompany, Murphy said. Waymocan’t say that.While there is excess vehicle

production capacity around theworld, Waymo will have to workwith other companies to maketheir own AV vehicles.“GM has a competitive advan-

tage in its ability to manufacturethe number of cars it needs toscale,” Murphy said. “That issuch a big advantage over Way-mo.”

Car Industry Has Challenges, Opportunities

Auburn Hills-based BorgWarn-er has opened a new 100,000-quare-foot technical center inNoblesville, Ind.Combining operations from ex-

isting facilities in Anderson andPendleton, Ind., the new techni-cal center features a state-of-the-art lab that increases the compa-ny’s research and developmentcapacity to meet growing cus-tomer demand for these prod-ucts by expanding the prototypebuilding and testing capabilitiesfor its electrified products, saidBorgWarner spokeswoman KathyGraham.The building’s open concept

office space is designed to spuremployee collaboration and cre-ativity to assist BorgWarner inmaintaining its position as aglobal leader in providing cleanand efficient vehicle propulsionsolutions, Graham said.“We are thrilled to open our

new technical center in Nobles-ville, allowing us to bring all ourarea employees under one beau-tiful new roof,” said Dr. StefanDemmerle, president, BorgWarn-er PowerDrive Systems.“The new facility with its state-

of-the-art lab and creative work-spaces enables the research, de-velopment and testing of currentand future hybrid and electricpropulsion systems and compo-nents. This facility will be a keysite in BorgWarner’s mission ofdeveloping clean, energy-effi-cient propulsion technologies.”When designing the building,

strong emphasis was placed oncreating an optimal, well-thought-out, productive work en-vironment for engineers, design-ers, technicians and supportstaff, Demmerle said.The design includes an open

concept featuring interactive of-fice environments and sponta-neous collaboration zones thatare designed to enhance commu-

nication, inspire innovation andimprove efficiency, Demmerlesaid.The open concept building in-

cludes many flexible spaces –from meeting spaces to individ-ual work space options – allow-ing employees to choose whereand how they work, Grahamsaid. Employees can meet andwork in one of five social hubswith different types of seatingarrangements, one of the focusrooms for privacy, individualconference rooms with a varietyof seating options, or the multi-purpose room that overlooks asmall patio area.The new technical center’s

40,000-square-foot lab will con-duct testing and prototype build-ing along with expanded opera-tions dedicated to BorgWarner’sgrowing electrified portfolio.With a combination of new and

existing resources, the Nobles-ville location will develop andvalidate a variety of power elec-tronics products as well as thecompany’s motor, alternator andstarter products.In addition, a dedicated sound

chamber will conduct noise, vi-bration and harshness (NVH)testing, dedicated shaker tableswill test for vibration and the labwill conduct metallurgy testingand analysis, and metrology, in-cluding coordinate measuringmachine (CMM) measuring capa-bility and calibration.Two new system test cells will

allow engineers to validate thecompany’s products as part ofan entire propulsion system.The lab also increases the abil-

ity to test key technologies, in-cluding BorgWarner’s variety of48-volt products and P2 hybridmodules. The lab will house six48-volt test stations with the op-portunity to increase the numberof test stations as demand in-creases.

BorgWarner Opens New Site

Police departments are no dif-ferent from regular retail car buy-ers.They like SUVs, which is why

Ford has introduced the new Po-lice Interceptor Utility, the indus-try’s first pursuit-rated hybridSUV, said Ford spokesman DanJones.“We’re tending to see the shift

in preference from sedans toSUVs transcend the traditionalretail car buyer,” said Jones. “Po-lice like SUVs for the same rea-son the public does. You getmore space and police needspace for things like cages fordogs and all their equipmentthey carry in the back of their ve-hicles.“At the same time, just like the

regular car buyer, they don’twant to skimp in terms of per-formance and want to keep costsdown. This new hybrid SUV de-livers on all counts.”The new Ford Police Intercep-

tor Utility hybrid was designedto meet calls from law enforce-ment agencies for improved per-formance with lower operatingcosts to help make the lives oflaw enforcement officers easierwith improved pursuit perform-ance and standard all-wheeldrive – and save agencies andtaxpayers money, Jones said. Itshybrid batteries are speciallyplaced inside the vehicle so theydo not compromise passenger orcargo space.The new Police Interceptor

Utility also reflects Ford’s plan tooffer hybrid, plug-in hybrid orboth versions for every new utili-ty in North America.“We’re committed to electrify-

ing vehicles for all customers, in-cluding law enforcement whoneed the high performance andlow operating costs that Ford’snext-generation hybrids will ex-cel at providing,” said Hau Thai-

Tang, executive vice president ofProduct Development and Pur-chasing. “Standard all-wheeldrive is important becausecrooks don’t stop when it rains.”While fuel economy certifica-

tion isn’t complete, the Police In-terceptor Utility hybrid is expect-ed to have a projected EPA-esti-mated combined label of at least24 mpg – approximately 40 per-cent improvement over the cur-rent 3.7-liter V6, Jones said.Anticipated fuel economy

gains, combined with expectedfuel savings from reduced engineidling time, are expected to helpsave law-enforcement customersan estimated $3,200 per vehiclein yearly fuel bills versus the cur-rent Police Interceptor Utility.“If you applied these savings to

every Ford Police InterceptorUtility sold in 2017, it wouldequate to more than $126 millionat $2.93 a gallon, or more than 43million gallons of fuel,” Jonessaid.“And the thing to remember is

that police vehicles spend a lotof time idling, so instead of burn-ing gasoline while idling, thesenew SUVs will power the vehiclevia its battery, and that saves alot of gas, which means the vehi-cles don’t have to spend as muchtime filling up and can be on theroad more, protecting the pub-lic.”The hybrid can power de-

manding electrical loads fromlights, computers, radios andother equipment using its lithi-um-ion hybrid battery, allowingthe gasoline engine to shut offand intermittently run to chargethe battery.

Sales of Ford Police Intercep-tor Utilities rose 5 percent in2018, building on five straightyears of sales growth and captur-ing 65 percent of the total U.S.police vehicle market.The new Ford Police Intercep-

tor Utility hybrid is projected toaccelerate faster, achieve a high-er top speed and have at least 40percent better fuel economythan the previous V6-poweredmodel, helping catch suspectedlawbreakers and reduce costs,Jones said.The Police Interceptor Utility

hybrid is calibrated for law en-forcement’s unique duty cycle.The utility automatically switch-es to maximum performance –with the engine and batteryworking at peak acceleration lev-els – when needed.In addition to improved per-

formance and no trade-offs inutility, cargo and passengerspace, the Police Interceptor Util-ity features exclusive 75-mphrear impact protection for safety.The police hybrid SUV repre-

sents Ford’s larger goals of sup-porting new powertrain systems,Jones said.“Personally, I think having a

hybrid SUV police vehicle mightmake hybrids a little cooler inthe minds of the public,” Jonessaid. “I certainly believe this ve-hicle sends a really cool messageto our customers and representsthe next step in Ford’s progresstoward, cleaner, more fuel-effi-cient vehicles.”The new Ford Police Intercep-

tor hybrid will be built at FordChicago Assembly plant.It goes on sale next summer.

Ford Police Interceptor is built with a standard hybrid powertrain.

The old Michigan Central Train Station will be refurbished by Ford.

DETROIT (AP) – Owners of De-troit’s vacant, hulking 105-year-old Michigan Central Station an-nounced June 11 that they’vesold the iconic symbol of De-troit’s fall from greatness to FordMotor Co. for redevelopment.Matthew Moroun, son of build-

ing owner Manuel “Matty” Mo-roun, said Dearborn-based Ford’sBlue Oval logo “will adorn thebuilding.” The announcementcame in front of the 500,000-square-foot, 18-story station thatclosed in 1988.“The next steward of the build-

ing is the right one for its future,”Moroun said. “The depot will be-come a shiny symbol of Detroit’sprogress and its success.”Moroun said Ford plans to dis-

close details of the redevelop-ment soon. An announcement isplanned next week, Ford said. Af-ter years of failed plans, talk hascentered on redevelopmentspearheaded by Ford.“These are exciting times for

Ford and Detroit,” Ford said in astatement June 11. It said theJune 19 announcement “will be ahistoric day for Detroit, the autoindustry and the future of Ford.”

Ford recently began movingabout 200 members of its electricand autonomous vehicle busi-ness teams into a refurbishedformer factory near the train sta-tion.The last train left Michigan

Central Station 30 years ago andit has stood vacant ever since, ahulking embodiment of Detroit’slong decline from America’s man-ufacturing engine to its biggestmunicipal bankruptcy.The building that once han-

dled all of Detroit’s passengerrail traffic closed due to a declinein ridership and took on a newlife in the subsequent years as adestination for urban explorers,the homeless and scavengers,who picked it clean of anythingvaluable.Residents are accustomed to

seeing plans to repurpose thebuilding come and go, leavingsome locals to take a wait-and-see approach about Ford’s inter-est leading up to the June 11 an-nouncement.The building has been pitched

as a possible police headquar-ters or retail space and casinoover the years.

FCA’s Windsor Assembly Plant(WAP) has won a Canadian In-dustry Partnership for EnergyConservation (CIPEC) Leader-ship Award.The recognition comes for key

Process and Technology Im-provements from a plant initia-tive that resulted in an approxi-mate 30 per cent annual energysavings of existing chilled watersystem and reduced GreenhouseGas (GHG) emissions equivalentto almost 21 homes’ energy useper annum, said FCA spokes-woman LouAnn Gosselin .At the plant, which builds

Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler Paci-fica Hybrid and Dodge GrandCaravan minivans, a new vehiclerolls off the line every 48 sec-onds. It takes approximately 27hours to complete a vehicle, and8-10 of those hours are spent inthe paint shop.A recent onsite study conduct-

ed by the Energy ManagementTeam at WAP identified opportu-nities to reduce energy consump-tion in the paint shop.Throughout the plant, large

compressors of chilled water areused to cool the air as well as theequipment during differentprocesses.In the paint shop particularly,

what is called the chiller systemis crucial to maintain a set tem-perature and humidity level at all

times for optimal and consistentpaint application, as well as sus-taining a cool temperature forthe equipment, Gosselin said.The study outlined a multi-

faceted chiller initiative, as itpertained to the paint shop,which included energy-saving im-provements such as resetting thesupply temperature set point,retrofitting additional pumpswith VFD (Variable FrequencyDrive), removing mechanicalflow controls & adding PLC (Pro-grammable Logic Controller) log-ic control to operate the system.The project was executed over atwo-week period last summer.“I’m very proud of the Energy

Management Team and their ini-tiatives at Windsor AssemblyPlant,” said Michael Brieda, plantmanager. “The team succeededin implementing this new strate-gy effectively, and, in the firstquarter alone, we’ve achieved113 per cent of the anticipatedsavings, which is an incrediblesuccess.“I’m proud to say that we not

only build environmentallyfriendly vehicles, but we strive todo so in an environmentally sus-tainable facility.”FCA and the team from WAP

were honored at an awards cere-mony last week, as part of Natu-ral Resources Canada’s EnergySummit 2018 in Toronto.
