Ashok Leyland Shelves Car Project
- The company, along with its joint-partner Nissan, had earlier decided to explore the possibility of bringing out a car that would target the compact market.
A senior Hinduja Group executive attributed this to the intense competition in the compact car segment. Ashok Leyland’s decision to stay away from the car business may be a wise move, as it has just entered into an increasingly competitive segment of light commercial vehicles with its LCV, the Dost. It would rather utilise its resources to get a foothold in a business which is an extension of its core M&HCV business, rather than venture into a new territory altogether.
-The Group is also learnt to be looking at new opportunities for business from the aviation industry.
-The Hinduja-owned Defiance Technologies is scouting for a partnership or acquisition in this space, and an announcement in this regard may come in three to four months.

-General Motors will introduce a few Chinese vans in the Indian market in 2012. These products will be sourced from the SAIC stable. CarWale have caught the HongTu, the EECO challenger on test in Vadodra. While that will take care of bringing volumes from the goods transportation sector, here’s a more interesting vehicle that will give the Xylo a run for its money.
-GM India will rename this vehicle and perhaps sell it under a new brand. The vehicles will wear the Chevy bowtie however. The branding is still work in progress and it is expected to bombard the market in late 2011 or early 2012. As some parts will be sourced from China, the cost of the vehicle is expected to stay below 7.5 lakh rupees.
-It can seat 7-8 people in comfort and with flexible rear seating (2nd and 3rd row have flat-folding seats) it can be sold to the taxi markets too. Indians will love the leather seats and beige interiors, but the black dashboard looks bland.
-The Hong Guang’s chassis was adjusted and optimized by Lotus Engineering in the United Kingdom. Under the hood, we’re expecting GM to plonk the 1.3-liter SMARTECH XSDE (Multi-jet) engine. GM was also said to be in talks with Piaggio to source a low capacity engine and it remains to be seen if that deal is secured.

Ford's New plant in Ahmedabad,Gujarat
The Detroit based company plans to invest over $1 billion (Rs 5,000 crore) for the unit, which will come next to Tata Motors' Nano plant. The plant is slated to open in 2014 and employ around 5,000 workers.
The state government is likely to allocate 400 acres of land at lowerthan-market rates to the company. An additional 100 acres will be set aside for component manufacturing units.
Ford India, the US carmaker's Indian subsidiary, already runs a Rs 1,700-crore manufacturing plant at Maraimalai Nagar, 45 km from Chennai, with a peak capacity of 2 lakh units per annum. With Ford deciding to drive into Gujarat, the state has fast started to emerge as a claimant for the title, 'Detroit of India' . Besides Tata Motors , General Motors manages a plant in Halol near Vadodara since 1994. It has taken GM's Detroit cousin 17 years to follow suit.
Besides, French car-maker Peugeot is in advanced negotiations for a site, preferably around Sanand. Maruti Suzuki is also expected to finalise Gujarat as the location for a one million cars per annum unit. Maruti Suzuki is keenly scouting for a plot near Santalpur in north Gujarat , closer to Mundra port from where it already exports vehicles. Apart from the new plant, Ford is significantly expanding its capacities in its existing facility in Tamil Nadu.

Breaking News: Honda 2012 CR-V official picture and details
-Honda has released the first official pictures of its highly anticipated 2012 CR-V. the car looks much better in the official pictures.
The Japanese carmaker is not announcing the picture as the production version of the 2012 CR-V Yet. Instead, they have named this extremely close to production vehicle as the 2012 CR-V Concept. The new car is is expected to hit the dealerships in the USA by the end of 2011. In its latest avatar.
The CR-V will retain its 2.4-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine. Power would go up slightly from the current 180bhp, and so would fuel efficiency. The 2.2-liter i-DTEC diesel would also be a part of the package for the European countries (India too, in all probability) and would dish out more than 165bhp. The new CR-V will be available with both FWD and AWD. There will also be a new 6-speed auto in the offing.
