JAPAN VEHICLE AUCTION SHEET

Auction sheet Translation Verification and Auction Grading procedure

Vehicle Auction Grading

• Grade 7, 8, 9 or S is given to a new car that is being sold in an auction, with only delivery mileage.
• Grade 6 Similar to the cars above but with a little more than delivery mileage.
• Grade 5 to a car with exceptionally low mileage and in mint condition.
• Grade 4.5 is in excellent condition, but can also have mileage of up to 100K.
• Grade 4 is a good, solid car. Mileage is not an issue (could be low or high).
• Grade 3.5 is similar to a grade 4 but may need more paint and panel work. Alternatively, it may have high mileage.
• Grade 3 often has either serious paint and panel, or it has had a panel replacement somewhere.
• Grade 2 is reserved for vehicles in the worst condition. This does not mean that they are write offs, simply that they have experienced deterioration such that they are now in a very poor state. A grade 2 vehicle will often have corrosion, perhaps corrosion holes and other serious issues. If you are looking for “classic” and other older cars or older trucks and buses, you will find a number of them are grade 2.
• Grade 1 Can be one of the following.

1. After market turbo / engine (some sort of serious modification to the original vehicle).
2. Transmission changed from auto to manual.

• Grade A, R, RA are repair history cars. The auctions definition of “repair history” is a car that has had an inside panel repaired in some way. This can range from extremely minor to major.

Tesla Autopilot Car

 Tesla's  Autopilot 

Legendary CPU architect Jim Keller has joined Tesla Motors as Vice President of Autopilot Hardware Engineering. The appointment has been confirmed in a statement from Tesla, received by tech site Electrek. Tesla will be relying upon Mr Keller's considerable talents in the development of "the safest, most advanced autopilot systems in the world".

The last confirmed position held by Mr Keller was his well publicised Chief Architect of Microprocessor Cores role at AMD. He was instrumental in defining the roadmaps for AMD's new Zen CPU cores, systems IP, and server and client SoCs -until autumn last year when he moved to (unknown) pastures new. It was thought he had completed his work on the fundamentals of the Zen processor and related architecture so wasn't really needed by AMD anymore. Before that Keller's career highlights were the development of Apple A4 and A5 SoCs and before that he was instrumental in the creation of the original AMD Athlon K7 architecture.

Back in October we heard rumours that Keller had signed up to head up Samsung's processor R&D team in Austin Texas. Obviously that never happened or wasn't a match made in heaven or we wouldn't have this confirmed story of Mr Keller taking up a position at Tesla Motors.

The short statement received by Electrek is as follows:

"Jim Keller is joining Tesla as Vice President of Autopilot Hardware Engineering. Jim will bring together the best internal and external hardware technologies to develop the safest, most advanced autopilot systems in the world."

Tesla's on-board computers are currently powered by Nvidia ARM-based SoCs. Tech industry watchers will be aware that rivals such as Google, Apple and Tesla have been poaching each other's key engineers for automotive projects so Tesla will be very happy to have Keller under its wing. It is noted that he will be able to work alongside several other key Apple alumni such as Doug Field and Rich Heley.

Powering the future 2--- HONDA FCV

FUEL CELL VIHICLE

(FCV)

Fuel cell vehicles are leading innovation 

in two key areas.

Powering the future 1--- TOYOTA FCV

FUEL CELL VEHICLE

(FCV)

What is a fuel cell vehicle?

Through the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, fuel cell vehicles generate electricity to power a motor. Instead of gasoline they are fuelled by hydrogen, an environment-friendly energy source that can be produced from a variety of raw materials.
Toyota’s efforts to make sustainable mobility a reality with hydrogen started in 1992, even before the release of the Prius. In 2002, Toyota began the world’s first limited sales of a fuel cell vehicle, the “Toyota FCHV”, in Japan and the U.S. Toyota has also made use of its hybrid vehicle technology in the development of fuel cell vehicles.

Around the world, efforts are being made to harness the power of hydrogen,

the most abundant element in the universe. 

Recognizing hydrogen’s vast potential as a clean energy source, 

Toyota is actively developing and producing fuel cell vehicles (FCV). 

We believe hydrogen can help us contribute to 

the next 100 years of the automobile.

Tokyo Moter Show

Style-D Piana

This, ladies and gents, fans and haters, is Japan’s answer to the legendary BMW Isetta bubble car.

It’s called the Piana (which is the instrument played by Cockney entertainers, we think) and is the work of Style-D, a company set up by two former Toyota designers.

About the same size as a Fiat 500, it’s bigger than the traditional microcar. But it apes the Isetta’s trademark front opening door.

This, according to the press release, “gives you peace of mind to get in and out when the raining day.” Phew.

Apparently you can customise the 400kg bubble car with a squished Porsche 911 body, and even get a surfboard rack fitted to the back.

Four-wheel-drive is currently in development. Style-D claims the Piana charges in five minutes (really) and has a 75-mile range.

Tokyo Motr Show

Toyoda Gosei Flesby

Meet Flesby. Flesby is a four-wheeled beanbag that aims to make the process of knocking over a pedestrian the most pleasant accident possible for all involved.

Flesby uses an onboard computer and an array of sensors to anticipate an impending collision. If he/she/it suspects a shunt is imminent, the whole chassis inflates into a rolling airbag.

Having head-butted and given it a kick to try it out, we reckon being hit by Flesby would be the same as being run over by a six foot, four-wheeled travel pillow.

The driver operates Flesby via two joysticks, so arcade fans should be pretty handy behind the wheel.

But the futuristic interior also senses the driver’s posture and mood, and will adjust the lighting, music, and even the smell inside the cockpit to soothe the occupants. Useful if you’ve just run someone over.

Tokyo Moter Show

Mazda New 

Mazda stayed loyal to rotary by unveiling the slinky RX-Vision, Nissan terrified us with the future of autonomous driving, and Toyota showed off a baby AMG GT.

But there was another side to the Tokyo motor show, one brought to you by the letters W, T and F.

The Tokyo motor show has long been famed for its weird and wacky concepts, so we spent a day trawling the show floor to see what was out there.

Our haul was impressive, and we’ve since worked our way through the muddied, hilarious and straight-up confusing Japanese press literature to fathom what’s they’re all about.

So fasten your lap belts and click through to see the weirdest stuff Japan has to offer.

2016 Tesla Model

2016 TeslaCrossover Model X Electric 

Tesla has confirmed the inclusion of 2016 Tesla Model X in their production line and would be soon available in the market for sales. It would be a crossover with an electric engine configured under its hood. It is being rumoured to arrive in the market in late 2014 or at the start of 2015 at the most. This new crossover would have some new features that would be a surprise to crossover enthusiasts and lovers.

Appearance:

2016 Tesla Model X would almost remain the same as of its concept or prototype. It would be built based upon the platform of model S. It was earlier rumoured to have two-wheel driving system. But recent reports confirm that this electric crossover would be available in front wheel drive mode only. This is interesting as with all wheel drive system, the car would be easy to control on both on-road and off-road terrains.

Specifications:

Makers have not yet revealed the interior and exterior specifications of 2016 Tesla Model X yet. However, from a look at the prototype of this model, some features can be concluded which would form its basic features. For example, the uplifting double hinged falcon doors would be one of its basic features. The doors would be folding to allow easy access to the crossover’s third-row seats.

AWD setup would be complemented by all the other aspects of the car, from its rear to front. It would be aerodynamically advanced and would allow a smooth flow on roads. Better control, additional traction and better grip would be some of its basic features.

Unfortunately, there is no more information on its exterior and interior specifications. One has to cling onto time to be able to know the detailed specifications of 2016 Tesla Model X officially declared by its makers.

Peugeot 3008 Review

Peugeot 3008 

 Looking at Peugeot’s performance in their current model, you cannot doubt their plan of launching another model. Based on the news spreading all over, Peugeot made excellent sales on the current model hence as they plan to release their new model, they aim to reach a better sales limit. It is for this reason that they are planning to install it with larger storage compartments, more safety features including grip control and Dynamic Rolling control as well as better and more stylish lights. Weight will be reduced, wheels enhanced and the exterior strengthened to help it endure different kinds of exposures.

Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 Specs

One best thing 2015 Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 boasts of is a brighter and more user-friendly interior. Inside, the ambient is livelier and lighter mostly due to the Dual-zone Cielo glass air condition system that heats and cools the interior temperatures to make them more bearable. To add on this is the Head-Up Display that helps gather and provide all essential information for easy driving. As if that is not enough, Peugeot has also gone further to equip the car with a start and e-HDi technology which helps ensure reduced levels of emissions as well as fuel consumption. Besides all that the car is offered in four varying driving modes that helps make the work of controlling the car much easier. As for the exterior, Peugeot has also done an awesome job looking at its styling and the parity of the installed features. The wheels are however a bit smaller at 17 inches. As for the suspension, it has been strengthened to help guarantee better levels of safety and handling.

2015 Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 Engine

Powering for 2015 Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 is realized through the use of a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder e-HDi diesel engine and a highly effective electromotor. The e-HDi diesel motor is able to make 163 bhp while the electromotor is able to generate 37 bhp hence the combined power results to 200 bhp. When combined, the two make 500 NM as total torque which when divided results into 200 NM for the electric motor and 300 NM for the e-HDi diesel powertrain.

2015 Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 Fuel Economy

When in comparison with the 2014 model, the 2015 Peugeot 3008 is more resolute in offering better levels of fuel economy and reduced rates of CO2 emissions. For instance, the diesel powertrain offers excellent combined fuel consumption rates of 74.4 miles per gallon. It also offers reduced rates of carbon dioxide emission as it is rated at 99 grams per kilometer.

Tesla-Toyota partnership in near future

Tesla and Toyota have worked together on Toyota's recent version of the RAV4 EV. Tesla basically took care of the powertrain, while the rest was based on Toyota's gasoline-powered RAV4. But sadly, the RAV4 EV was only made in small numbers (2,600 units for the first 3 years) and only sold in California, mostly because regulators asked for a certain minimum number of zero-emission vehicles.

Was this just a prelude to something bigger? Elon Musk has just dropped hints that a "significant" project between Tesla and Toyota could see the light of day within 2 or 3 years, and this time, it would be for a vehicle made in larger numbers than the RAV4 EV.

Musk said there were no concrete plans for a new vehicle with Toyota but dangled the possibility of a bigger project soon.

“I think that if you look out maybe two or three years from now, that I would not be surprised if there is a significant deal with Toyota,” Musk said today at a ceremony to deliver the first Tesla Model S sedans to customers in Japan.

“My best guess is that it would probably be something significant, maybe on a much higher volume level,” he said.(source)

Nothing really concrete here, but knowing how these things work, I don't think Musk would have even mentioned it if he wasn't fairly certain that a deal could be reached. Why create expectations if you're not fairly sure they can be met?

It would make a lot of sense for Toyota too. While they've been a leader in hybrids for over a decade, they lag in electric vehicles. Why not partner with the leader of the field? Maybe they could make a new Prius model (the Prius E?) that is 100% electric, or make an electric version of some of their best-selling vehicles like the Camry and Corolla?

We also have to remember that Toyota owns 2.4% of Tesla, so they have a financial incentive (not a huge one for a company the size of Toyota, but still) in helping our the smaller company.
