British Cars For Export - New Used UK

UK NEW AND USED CARS EXPORTS NEWS!!

The UK Automotive Exportation sector is a global leader in process and product innovation of New and Used Second Hand Autos to the rest of the world. Within the European Union, the UK’s Exportation industry has the best car and commercial vehicle makers and exporters. British citizens (English – England, Welsh – Wales, Scottish – Scotland and Irish – Ireland) bought over 2.5 million new cars in the UK last year, 0.4 million European Cars and 5.6 million used second hand cars. Cheap car and auto production is rising since joining the European Union, now exporting about 1.67 million cheap units. New and Used Second Hand Commercial vehicle exporters and passenger vehicles production, looks set to exceed 600,000 auto units for the first time since 1998.

In the recent years, the exportation of new and used cars from the United Kingdom (UK) to the rest of the world (including Japan) has significantly increased. This Exportation success is in contrast to past years where the bulk of vehicles being exported from exporters in Europe, were mainly from Germany. Japan however, still dominates the world’s bulk source for the exports of cheap new and used cars either second hand, or from car Auctions. These cheap Japanese vehicles to many countries worldwide including Britain and the rest of European Union, was due to the reliability that these cars have and the cheaper costs of running Japanese vehicles in general.

The purchase of second hand cars from Auctions and Auction houses such as the British Car Auctions has significantly dropped with the increased strength of the British pound. Joining of the European Union has also reduced popularity of Car Auctions in the UK because cheaper Cars can be exported and Imported from Europe – Germany in Particular - without restriction and risks associated with car Auctions. The sector now accounts for over 9% of our total export of goods. Over the last 5 years UK has exported, on average, over a million cheaper cars a year - a fivefold increase in real terms since 1986 and twice the amount from Germany. Japanese, German, African and American manufacturers import cheaper British built cars into their home markets and over 70% of UK Car Exports go to Europe, including Germany.

THE NEW JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

Take your choice of three engines when buying a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The standard engine is a 210 horsepower 3.7-liter V6 that makes more peak power and torque than the old 4.0-liter inline six that it replaces. The upgrade engine is a 4.7-liter V8 good for 230 horsepower. Buyers looking for maximum force can choose a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 making 325 horsepower and 90 percent of its peak torque between 2,400 and 5,100 rpm. A new technology called a Multi-Displacement System (MDS) comes with the Hemi V8 engine option. MDS is a cylinder deactivation system that allows the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee to operate on four cylinders during low engine loads in an effort to conserve fuel. Jeep claims that MDS cuts the Hemi’s fuel consumption by 20 percent.

Power flows through a five-speed automatic transmission with manual gear selection, but the unit coupled to the V8 models is beefier than the one swapping cogs for the V6. Both transmissions have a new gated shifter inside. If selecting a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4WD, you have three systems from which to choose. Quadra-Trac I features a single-speed transfer case for full-time 4WD operation. There is no low-range function, so this is for light-duty use only. Quadra-Trac II features automatic 4WD with low-range gearing for tougher off-road duty. Jeep’s new Quadra-Drive II system features Electronic Limited Slip Differentials (ELSD) and full-time 4WD with an active transfer case and low-range function. ELSD instantly locks the front or rear axle when slip is detected, and it can even detect impending slip and reapportion power accordingly.

Improved to offer a better on-road ride quality, the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s independent short- and long-arm front suspension offers greater wheel travel and a tighter turning circle. Underpinning the rear end is a five-link live axle setup with improved lateral stiffness through the use of a track bar and shocks that are mounted more vertically to reduce the former Grand Cherokee’s notorious head-toss problem on lumpy pavement. A track increase of 2.5 inches also improves stability and handling. When equipped with the Hemi V8, the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee benefits from a Dynamic Handling System (DHS). DHS employs active stabilizer control for reduced body roll and smoother straight-line ride quality, and can decouple itself for better wheel articulation when traveling off-road.

Rack-and-pinion steering replaces the old recirculating ball system, and stability control is optional on the Grand Cherokee for the first time. Four-wheel-disc brakes with ABS are standard, and the 2005 JGC rides on 17-inch wheels and tires. Inside, Jeep tried to make the 2005 Grand Cherokee more upscale through tighter gaps and joints, richer materials, and less busy design. The new seats are firm and supportive, huge improvements over the mushy chairs in the previous JGC. Chrome ringed LED gauges are a nice touch, and the windowsills are softly padded to make for great elbow rests. The dash is two-tone, but constructed of hard plastic – at least it exhibits a low-gloss finish. Ergonomically, the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee appears to triumph over previous models, though we fiddled very little on the convention hall floor.

Two versions of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee will go on sale in the fall. The Laredo has standard cloth upholstery and a body-color grille; leather is optional. The Limited has two-tone leather with perforated inserts standard, and a chrome grille. Options include a navigation system, Boston Acoustics audio, rear seat DVD entertainment, UConnect Bluetooth communications, and a rear parking assist. From a styling standpoint, the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee features the traditional seven-slot grille, flanked this time by round headlights. Greater rake to the A-pillars, a flatter windshield, bulging wheel flares, increased distance between the front axle and the base of the windshield, and a squared-off greenhouse all contribute to a more rugged look. Joe Eberhardt, Chrysler Group executive vice president of sales, marketing and service, summed this impressive new SUV up nicely: “Wider, larger, and much more muscular this is the best Jeep Grand Cherokee we’ve ever built.”

UK CAR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

‘British Japanese’ Honda and their English brokers - whose Swindon facility is the UK's largest exporter of passenger cars to Japan, America, Asia Middle East and Africa. British MG Rover and their brokers - whose joint venture with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation will help to fund the exporting and development of new vehicle models at cheaper manufacturing costs. ‘British Japanese’ Toyota and their English brokers whose £50 million investment at Burnaston has raised the exporting capacity by more than 50,000 and created 500 jobs;

‘British American’ Ford and their brokers - where 25% of the company's entire global engine production, and all its diesel engines, now come from the UK at a much cheaper rate than anywhere else on the world. These cheap rates ensure that the United Kingdom (UK) is ahead of the rest of the manufactures in car exporting. British GM Vauxhall and their Brokers - where production at Ellesmere Port is to be expanded to meet demand for the new Astra cars. ‘British Japanese’ Nissan and their English brokers who blazed the trail to the UK in the early 1980s, and continues to run the most productive car manufacturing site in Europe.

Great Britain - Especially the English industry is continuing to show a firm commitment to the science budget - more than double since 1997 to £3.3 billion by 2007/8. The English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh secured £12million for the hugely successful Manufacturing Advisory Service - a program that has boosted manufacturing by more than £53million, delivering an average £100,000 added value to every manufacturer that goes through the full program.

THE FUTURE OF THE UK CAR INDUSTRY (EXPORTATION AND MANUFACTURE)

It is anticipated that the Exporting of New vehicles and second hand used cars and the funding for the Technology Strategy will increase by £140m per annum by 2007/8. Taken with the re-direction of existing spend on exports innovation, this will increase spending on the Technology Strategy to more than £250m per annum on exports, by 2007/8. Helping British (English, Scottish and Irish) Car manufacturers and exporters pull through new technologies and processes from the science base and turn them into competitive exporters advantage.
