This was submitted by the President of HMC Takeo  Fukui that the website quoted one of the two wheels in the world, and mid December. “Motor electricity will be muted hazardous substances such as C02. The initial stage will be manufactured electric motor for short-distance needs. Two years into the future, it is important to schedule to the world electric motor Honda, “Fukui said.

Around 3 – 4 years ago, Honda incentive to introduce electric motor. Tokyo Motor Show (TMS) as the campaign Electric Motorcylce. Take the example of Honda E4-01 displayed at the start TMS 2004 and developed continuously from the base Griffone Honda 900 cc engine. Weight below 200 kg.

Speech Fukui may be possible that the information in fact to Indonesia. Marketing Director of PT Astra Honda Motor Johannes Loman not gives a positive answer. “We can not sure this. Throughout the technology (electric motor, red) suitable for Indonesia, we will learn, “says Loman.(kps)

This proposition presented by the Marketing Director of PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) Joko Trisanyoto to a number of journalists at a restaurant in Pondok Indah Mall, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (30/12). Maybe divided into two groups. “For vehicles that have local production with increase ranges between 6 to 8 percent, while the CBU (completely Built Up) rose around 10 to 13 percent,” says Joko.

Means that Toyota product to increase 6 to 8 percent of the Avanza, Rush and Innova. Medium Yaris, Fortuner, Altis, Camry, Crown and the imported CBU entering the second group.

One possibility, Joko give information, around February or March the price will change (up) again. Because, should increase in January was about 20 percent. “Clearly, if at once too heavy increasing so gradually,” he said.

This increase can not be avoided again. On of reason, according to Joko weakening of the rupiah, which has now reached Rp11.000 per U.S. dollar. Toyota selling prices are still using the exchange rate Rp9.200 per U.S. dollar.

In addition, there is still a component of imported cars, both from fellow members of Asean and Japan from the current yen exchange rate is appreciating. “This is the car that caused the price of local production also took up the price,” several Joko. In addition, to the situation triggered by the (global economic crisis). Would like to request assistance center (Toyota Motor Corp.), May not also continued. Its all in the world again experienced the same thing. “But different during 1998, we still get help from principals,” Joko says.

With this price increase, he added, can at least get a profit margin that can cover variable costs (production). If the profit margin of only up to zero, the higher the production, the more compensation.

Even if the world again the global economic crisis, sales of the sector, Toyota Indonesia can still smile. “For the years 2007 and 2008 sales, all sales of Toyota experienced a decline in the world, except Indonesia and Malaysia,”  Joko said.

About the strategy next year, Joko said the government should be more aggressive. Both direct communication and selling. As the campaign remains the road, there are only priority. Which in the cut and who roads remain. For salesman, if this is not aggressive, next year should be more active.(kps)

Driving position

There are three aspects that must be set when the driving position, namely comfort, communication and control. Leisure, when conditions in the comfortable, the body is not expected quickly tired driving causing the concentration of fixed maximum although in a relatively long time.

Communication, drivers must get a power perspective and best able to communicate with the car or the environment. So factor ’seen and be seen’ (and the view can be seen) met. Control, drivers must be responsive environment look around, take action quickly and precisely anticipate every potential danger.

Sit back really stick in the back seat to the base of spine. At the back stick perfectly, use the wrist as the second measure. Positioned both wrists on the steering wheel (12-way) and down, each day at the position 3 (right hand) and 9 (left hand).

If you have tilt steering, set the steering wheel to the chest, give range of 10 inches. So when the air bag inflates, it will protect the chest, not the head. Position and set foot on the pedal, pedal. Place the heel of the right foot gas pedal and brake pedal. This position will accelerate the reaction when sudden braking is required.

Besides adjusting the height of a head restraint up to your ear, so it can protect the head and neck injuries in the case of impact from the front and back.

Hand position

Positioned hands on the position of 3 hours and 9 minutes, because with this position can control the vehicle better. In addition, instruments such as seine and wiper can also be driven using a finger, not hands. Position such as this also does not make a body tired quickly, because the position of not higher than the heart.

However, that needs to be, not the thumb into the steering wheel (stir). Because the front-wheel drive vehicle when you get caught something, for example, blocks, paving, embankment, and so on, the vehicle will usually rotates very quickly. This condition can cause a wrist injury at the hands and fingers.

Finally, do not forget to always use a safety belt, and Take a break during the four hour trip. Happy holidays. (okz)

For version 1.3 liters, with the changes made in the Daihatsu Xenia, both exterior and interior. However, to version 1.5 liters, which is “the top of the line” Avanza, appear more gallant and complete.

Changes made on the exterior are the emblem VVT-i, which moved from the back door to the front of the Fender. In the S variants (most luxurious), also added fog lights with ornaments chrome and G variants with self-colored body

Grill bumper in the middle added variants G and S. Special variants S plus outside rearview mirror with light seine plus side technology molding. Consequently, more rakish appearance and style

In the interior, the color that is selected for the Toyota Avanza is the New geige, previously ivory. There are also a few design changes to the seats that now appear more attractive. While at the wheel, now use the model of the four cross (the same as Xenia)

Who changed the Avanza in accordance with the market survey conducted (with the announcement that Daihatsu). With the changes that are not too many, the Toyota Avanza price increase, with a range of Rp 4.4 to 5.4 million.

ABS-Self-interest, compare prices with Avanza 1.5 liters 1.3 liters. For the version of the same manual transmission, the differences in price escape Rp 11,900,000 (US $1=Rp. 10.600). Still, the benefit of version 1.5 liters, not only on energy and the Torque engine is bigger, also equipped with ABS. In addition, the material layer of the seats better. Moreover, wheels and tires used size larger. Both also are more okay. Therefore, if you have more funds, Avanza 1.5 liters is the alternative that is worth consideration?
