Just revealed in the aisles of New York that already have the latest Atlantic Fisker is at the heart of various statements (and unattractive might say) as to its industrial future.

In granting an interview to Automotive News, the new CEO of Fisker Automotive , has cracked several notable statements. First, he indicated that the next Atlantic, imagining a positive outcome, would finally produced where production costs would be more bearable (financially) for the brand.

Surprising when one finally knows the future of the industrial site of Wilmington. But at the same time clarify the complex American could be an option, however (fallback?). Recall in addition that the Karma is currently produced in Finland.

And the decision known as the production site has not yet been clarified, the new Atlantic will undoubtedly postponed the date of marketing in time. 2013, we forget. 2014, why not. Later, surely. Never?

The money, the sinews of war, is also found in some of his remarks. If the trademark has not taken any hope of a loan from the DOE, it intends to finding U.S. and foreign investors to secure financing.

Finally, more informally, Fisker questions after his contract with A123 Systems Pourr supply of batteries … One last given? Sales figures of Karma, initially estimated at 10 000 copies in the year 2012 globally, have been reduced to half or less than 4000 units.

The facts date back to April 21, when a Swiss driver aged 28, driving a Bentley Continental GT, would have reached a speed of 325 km / hour on a highway between Geneva and Lausanne. The case is surprising since for proof, the Swiss police have used the drunk driver’s mobile phone, which were video recorded the speedometer of the car when the needle reached the 325 km / hour. Since the driver had been heard by the court in September stating that he was not driving at the material time he was filming and just the meter during one of his friends was driving the GT. As for the police, it ensures that any evidence to prove that was alone in his car. Driver’s license was confiscated and he now faces heavy penalties in court

A few days ago, a black copy of the McLaren MP4-12C had been seen in a bad position after an accident. This time, an MP4-12C is found altogether white nose in a tree and a fence. It would be a car designed to be delivered to a customer, who would have first struck another vehicle before to finish the race along a highway. The damage seems important enough to the front of the car and the hood is totally crushed up. Hopefully the manufacturer will know soon Woking a more pleasant news, and the MP4-12C will finally off a bit after a gestation more complicated than expected. turbocharger

After the electronic Common ECU and attempts to establish a single KERS, it seems that the steps around the motor 2013 turbo system revolves around the fuel flow.

In 2013, pilots will have the full load of fuel for the entire race, but must not exceed a certain level of consumption. Fuel management is a priority for the strategy.The system must limit the fuel flow but not pressure turbos, the idea is that the turbocharger has air, while the engine burns fuel, thus discharging exhaust gases, so the CO2. We must therefore limit the flow of fuel. This principle is still quite dark yet, forgive me if this is not yet clear. it will in the future.

McLaren Electronic Systems has proposed establishing a new management system standard fuel flow for 2013. The FIA ​​seems to go in this direction, as a tender is currently in action around the concept. According MY McLaren, his system will be incorporated into its program ECU, therefore less expensive to run.

The great undersea pipeline trans Medgaz, linking Algeria to Spain, became operational yesterday after its introduction into commercial service. A month ago, the group Sonatrach, made her put gas in Ain Temouchent. The gas will be transported from Beni Saf to reach the terminal Almeria, southern Spain.

This introduction was preceded by a test phase (November 2010-January 2011). The project cost nearly $ 900 million. The subsea pipeline has a length of nearly 1,050 kilometers, half the territory of Algeria. Its depth reaches more than 2,000 m in the Mediterranean. The pipeline has a total capacity of 11.4 billion m3 per year, extendable to 16 billion over the medium term, with the introduction of a second line.

The tube diameter is 0.6 m at a pressure of 40 bars, allowing a propulsion speed of 6 m / second, or more than 21 mph. Sonatrach has a majority in the Medgaz with 36% of the shares.Cepsa and Iberdrola (Spain) hold 20% each, while Endesa (Spain) and GDF Suez (France) have 12% each. This is the third gas pipeline linking Algeria to Europe, after the Transmed and GME, which will add a fourth pipeline, Galsi, still under construction, which should feed into Algerian gas to Italy. Medgaz is a multidisciplinary international project that will supply natural gas to southern Europe. He further secure the energy supply of Europe since the European market will link directly to the source of Algerian gas. It is also the most economical way to transport natural gas to the other shore of the Mediterranean.

The Medgaz is supplied from the Hassi R’Mel GZ4 through the pipeline with a length of 638 km and passes through 5 wilayas (Laghouat, Tiaret, Mascara, Oran and Ain Temouchent). This pipeline supplies, the Medgaz addition, several facilities, including power plants Hadjret Ennous (Tipaza) via a detour to the east, and Terga (Ain Temouchent) and part of the industrial zone of Arzew. He understands his part in Algeria, a compressor station with three turbochargers fitted with turbines manufactured by the British firm Rolls Royce and the part on-shore pipeline. Iberian in its part, the pipeline includes a receiving terminal located near the port of Almeria. Medgaz consortium created to implement the gas pipeline linking Algeria to Spain, was transformed in 2004 in building society. On the eve of the operation of this pipeline, Sonatrach signed Thursday in Algiers, commercial agreements for the supply of natural gas with its Spanish partners (Cepsa, Endesa, Iberdrola) and French GDF Suez, on an annual total of 8 billion m3, which will be transported by the Medgaz.

These agreements for 20 years, are a transcript of the Memoranda of Understanding in 2005 and 2006, prior to the final disposition of investment made in December 2006 for the construction of Medgaz. According to the Minister of Energy and Mines Minister Youcef Yousfi who attended the ceremony of signing of these contracts, these agreements allow Algeria to “strengthen its role as a stable and reliable supplier of natural gas for Europe. “ “Algeria has always been a reliable partner who has never failed to meet its commitments,” said the minister. Mr. Yousfi said that Algeria has always favored the long term in the conclusion of contracts and guarantees safety for its supply partners. The minister stressed the need for Algeria “to further increase its hydrocarbon reserves, including gas, ensuring that the country has huge potential. For its part, the CEO of Sonatrach, Mr. Noreen Cherouat, highlighted the “exceptional nature” of these agreements. “Sonatrach’s position as a direct supplier to the Spanish market for natural gas, through the signing of trade agreement with its subsidiary in Spain, Sonatrach Gas Comercializadora, welcomed Mr. Cherouat. The latter argued that “Before then Algeria exported about 1,000 billion m3 of LNG, mainly to Spain, Italy and France.” The CEO of CEPSA, Mr. De Riberolles, has, meanwhile, posted a good report on the contributions of his group to carry out this project, stating that natural gas “plays a major role in the energy sector” . For its part, the CEO of GDF Suez, Mr. Dauger, noted the “strategic importance” of Medgaz, as for Algeria and for Europe, calling it “solid” partnerships that bind the company Sonatrach.

Other size information: the National Agency for the Development of Hydrocarbon Resources (Alnaft) on Thursday signed two contracts for exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons in Algeria for a $ 220 million. These contracts were signed with Sonatrach and Spanish Cepsa.The signing of these contracts comes as a result of the granting by Alnaft two exploration acreage in the region Berkin, after the bid opening at the end of a third call for tenders.Sonatrach has awarded the contract to operate the perimeter Rhourde Fares, while Spanish Cepsa won the Rhourde Roun II. Since the enactment of Law 05-07 on hydrocarbons, Algeria has issued 7 blocks for exploration of hydrocarbons. The fourth call for tenders will be launched in late 2011.
