Josep Vives lleva ocho meses intentando vender un piso de su propiedad en Sabadell pero la muerte de una hermana del marqués de Sentmenat ha paralizado la operación. Lo tenía todo listo. Un comprador, cuyo banco le daba la hipoteca, y una paga y señal en concepto de arras, que deberá devolver si finalmente la compraventa no se lleva a cabo. Pero cuando se disponían a sellar la transacción saltó la sorpresa: el piso no estaba libre de cargas sino que el Registro de la Propiedad indicaba que faltaba por pagar un censo.
Gestamp, la multinacional especializada en el diseño, desarrollo y fabricación de componentes metálicos de alta ingeniería para la industria de la automoción, ha presentado hoy sus resultados para los primeros nueve meses de 2021 con unos ingresos que alcanzan los 5.879 millones de euros y un beneficio neto de 101 millones de euros a pesar de las desafiantes condiciones del mercado.
Mi coche, un coche normal, de una marca generalista, tiene alrededor de 100centralitas electrónicas que, como nódulos de terminaciones nerviosas, alcanzan a todas y cada una de las partes que hacen funcionar el vehículo. Para que esas 100 unidades de control electrónicas (ECUs) realicen su trabajo correctamente hacen falta a su vez unos 100 millones de líneas de código de software.
Lightweight fiber composites like carbon are promising candidates for large-scale production in car manufacturing. With the “iComposite 4.0” research project, the Lightweight Construction Center in Aachen, Germany, (Aachener Zentrum für Leichtbau – AZL) has made remarkable progress in terms of economic efficiency. Schuler – a member of the ANDRITZ GROUP and the globally leading supplier of cutting-edge technologies in all fields of metal forming – had the role of consortium leader here.
The downturn in global manufacturing activity during the last year has created a difficult demand environment for many packaging grades. However, this is expected to be relatively short lived, since there are several factors that suggest better times are ahead, once the uncertainty on the manufacturing front eases. Global demand for packaging paper and board should grow 2.4% annually during the next five years, even if conditions remain challenging in 2020.
The COP26 transport day on November 10 will focus primarily on electric cars; there’s no mention of bicycling (or walking or trains) on the day’s official webpage.
The government has drawn a line in the sand. By 2030, you will no longer be able to buy a new car that is powered solely by petrol or diesel. Hybrids can still be sold, but they will have to be capable of travelling a substantial distance on electric power alone. By 2035 even those PHEVs will be outlawed.
The automotive industry’s contribution to global greenhouse gases (GHGs) – broadly speaking – takes two main forms. First, there’s the contribution of road transport – passengers and freight – that is related to economic activity, the end-use of the auto industry’s products. The UN’s IPCC estimates that the transport sector as a whole accounts for approximately 23% of total energy-related CO2 emissions. The IPCC also argues that there is a danger that transport emissions could increase at a faster rate than emissions from other end-use sectors as per capita transport demand accelerates.
n July, the European Commission has announced its intention to ban the sale of new combustion vehicles – that is to say cars equipped with combustion engines running on gasoline, Diesel, to LPG or to CNG – from 2035 across the Union.
