Confirmation

MISSION TO ROME

Panos Filippakopoulos drives Hyundai's new leisure car, which confirms the significant upgrade of its cars and its establishment among the greats of the automotive industry.

After several years of upward trend in its sales, Hyundai in recent years had become very uncomfortable with the low-cost car maker label. Because this orientation cannot establish you among the industry leaders, as the Koreans aspired to, and anyway the new low cost manufacturers will gradually become the Chinese, which have a greater cost advantage than the Koreans. I had to, Well, immediately for Hyundai to find a new role as a "mainstream" manufacturer and that only in the technological field, functional and qualitative upgrade of its cars could offer, "closing the gap" with European and Japanese cars.

The Koreans proved to be methodical and stubborn, and their latest models showed that this scissor closing was entirely possible. The appearance of the ix35 is another page in this new chapter of their story, with a car designed and built in Europe for Europeans and has the ambitious goal of repeating a major commercial success. Why Tucson?, which succeeds, corresponded to 20% of Hyundai sales in Europe, in whose markets the Korean company had a significant share in the recreational vehicle segment.

4X4 TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS. Maintaining Adhesion

4X4 TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS

Maintaining Adhesion

Nikos Loupakis deciphers the trendy 4X4 logos, 4WD, AWD and analyzes the close relationship of all-wheel drive with off-road driving.

All of us have at some point seen an I.X. immobilized in the sand in summer, next to some beach, with its two driving wheels spinning "crazily", but without being able to move the car. It is perhaps the simplest and most typical example that shows the limits of two-wheel drive systems and at the same time explains why all off-road cars have some form of four-wheel drive.. That is, a four-wheel drive system. Wheel spin is a phenomenon that occurs much more easily on dirt, in the mud, in the sand, in the snow etc. and can drive, under certain conditions, at a complete stop of the car. You see, when we have "crazy" spin of one wheel, the other is immobilized and (due to the basic operation of the differential) it cannot transfer force to the ground and "unstick" the car.

When the drive is transmitted to all wheels, the force each tire must "put" on the road to move the car is halved and, consequently, traction is clearly more difficult to lose. This means that the ability to move on surfaces with a low coefficient of friction is increased, such as soil and mud. We recall that the spin begins when the force exerted by the wheel on the road (to push the car) exceed the limit determined by the quality of the soil. To transfer the drive to all four wheels, some additional components are required to be added to the transmission system. This is an intermediate transfer case (transfer case), which may include a differential, or some type of clutch that is responsible for dividing the drive between the two axles (back and forth). The type of four-wheel drive one wants to achieve also determines the type of components that will be added.

Leipzig: The "little Paris" of Saxony is experiencing its own economic miracle…

Goethe loved it as "little Paris". S’ αυτή μεγαλούργησαν ο Μπαχ και ο Μέντελσον, while it was the birthplace of great personalities from the field of Letters, of Arts and Sciences, with the most famous Wagner and Leibniz.

This is where it started, in the fall of 1989, the "peaceful revolution" of the citizens of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), who with the basic slogan "We are the people" flooded the streets of the country, claiming more "freedom", contributing, so, in the fall of the "regime".

Leipzig - about her- it has always been a great commercial center, with a rich culture and a great tradition in the sciences. Despite the damages it suffered during B’ World War, but also its degradation during the period of existing socialism, take advantage, after the fall of the Wall, its comparative advantages and evolved -20 years after the unification of Germany- in a regional "capital" of the economy, of culture and letters.

It's no accident, after all, which Leipzig - has a population of just over half a million and is located in the federal state of Leipzig- recently received two highly honorable awards from equal numbers -internationally- recognized newspapers. On the one hand, the "Financial Times", who evaluated the city's economic development strategy as "excellent" and on the other hand by the "New York Times", which ranked it among the top ten cities internationally, which is worth a visit to watch its musical and artistic events.

Last week, a group of Greek journalists from Thessaloniki was in Leipzig, on the initiative of the Consulate General of Germany in Thessaloniki, and had the opportunity to visit and talk with city officials and local media representatives about the city's economic "miracle", for the past, its present and future, as well as about the relations between Leipzig and Thessaloniki, which from the 1984 they are twinned.

"With the fall of the Wall and the unification of Germany, Leipzig experienced the tragic consequences of deindustrialization. Within a short time there were barely any left 12.000 industry jobs from 115.000 that existed until then. Huge factories were closed and industrial units moved and settled in other areas. In his mid-teens 1990, the city's population declined noticeably, falling into 400.000 residents, a fact attributed to the migration of many city dwellers to urban centers in western Germany. Whole areas were turned into ghosts. Unemployment soared to 23%", said the deputy mayor of Leipzig, Andreas Miller.
