Holomisa Tackles Implications Of Illegal Conversion Of Toyota Quantum Panel Vans To Taxis And Ambulances

Magen David Adom's first residence was a shop on the nook of Rothschild and Nahalat Benyamin Streets and its only resource was a small van converted into an ambulance and some dozen volunteers. In January 2008 native resident of Noordhoek Ms Pam Herr approached Chairman Kevin Price about donating cash in reminiscence of her late dad and mom towards False Bay EMS. Something that might be considered by folks with a plaque of her family name. Since we had simply been donated a brand new ambulance we determined to put the cash towards extending our base by including on two garages and a new entrance to accommodate our new ambulance and our caravan. It took over a 12 months to get all of the approvals from Provincial authorities and hospital engineers to go ahead with the constructing. Donations from the Laidlaw basis and our PBO donations also went toward the worth of the constructing.

The Metro Emergency Medical Services Northern District might be sharing the constructing with Forensic Pathology Services. The 160 workers members of this service have been working temporarily from the Delft Community Health Centre. The converted constructing has offices converted ambulance, conference rooms, two kitchens and submitting rooms. Last week, Hasbro launched two new high-quality Studio Series Transformers based on the Bumblebee movie, and earlier today Netflix announced a Transformers anime sequence coming in 2020.

We are even prouder of the different manufacturers and sellers that work with us through SLAs – giving us permits to transform their vehicles. We have upgraded many items in comparison with a regular ambulance conversion for this car and will proceed to generate safer and more environment converted ambulance friendly methods of affected person remedy and transportation. Our Latest automobile is a Toyota Quantum which has been converted into an ambulance and is able to transporting patients in an ICU state on both short and lengthy distance cases. All Emergency Vehicle Conversions’ ambulances are built to the highest requirements.

As contractor WBHO Roads and Earthworks makes good progress on the bus fast transit station at Watt Street in Wynberg, Johannesburg, it's being properly supported with virtually m3 of readymix concrete by construction supplies chief... Building and infrastructure projects provide an important catalyst for optimistic socio-economic improvement, employment and expertise development. IMIESA speaks to Cyril Gamede, CEO, Construction Industry Development Board , concerning the roll-out of the... Limpopo is basically rural and the ambulances are expected to ease the challenges confronted by folks from far-flung areas. We appreciate all suggestions as a result of it helps us improve our service delivery.

All of our ambulances can be converted to an ICU automobile inside minutes however are all often equipped and manned to the Intermediate Life Support stage of therapy and transport. Concerning is the truth that the DoT has admin marked/blacklisted some unlawful Quantum panel van “taxis” on eNatis since February 2018 with none form of compensation for lack of earnings to the taxi homeowners due to no fault of their very converted ambulance own. I refer you to communications between Ms Matshoba and SATF on a third generation 2007 model, SATF repossession unlawful Quantum panel van taxi. The high quality of lending expressed by SATF is, to say the least, unacceptable and deceiving. SATF has sourced and financed the majority of unlawful Quantum conversions from non-franchised second-hand dealers. It has charged each of these taxi house owners a “vehicle sourcing fee” of R4,500 prior interest that was not only deceiving however illegal.

BS6 (BHARAT STAGE 6) | EXPLANATION

6) | EXPLANATION

 In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling to place into executing BS6 fuel norms. Through the manner of 1st April 2020, But why is this decision so important? and how does it make an impact on your life? we offer an explanation for what is BS6 and the way does it differ from the earlier emission norms?

Bharat level emission standards (BSES) are emission standards instituted by way of manner of the Government of India to regulate the output of air pollution from internal combustion engines and Spark-ignition engines equipment, consisting of motor vehicles. The requirements and the timeline for implementation are set through the Central Pollution Control Board underneath the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.

What is BS6?

Let’s start with, the ‘BS’ in BS6 stands for ‘Bharat Stage’ which signifies the emission regulation standards. The 6 is what we all know. The higher the number gets, the harder the Bharat Stage emission norms. Which eventually means it becomes trickier (and costlier) for automakers to meet them.

Indian BS norms are based on European emission norms. Which, for example, are referred to in a similar manner as ‘Euro 4’ and ‘Euro 6’. These norms are followed by all automakers across the world.

In simple words, Bharat Stage emission norms are largely similar to the European emission norms followed globally.

In 2016, the government decided to skip BS5 in favour of devising a more strict standard to check rising pollution from vehicle exhausts. After much contemplation and extensions, it was decided that the final deadline for the execution of BS6 norms would be April 2020.

How is BS6 different from BS4?

The new emission standard will require both automobile manufacturers as well as oil marketing companies to modify their respective products. For optimal results, BS6-compliant engines will have to run on BS6 fuel, as new-generation engines running on lower-quality fuel will emit a quantum of toxic gases comparable to that generated by BS4 engines. Moreover, running BS6-compliant vehicles on BS4 fuel could be harmful to their engines. Indian oil companies have already established a supply chain for BS6-grade petrol and diesel, with distribution expanded to most filling stations in selected cities like New Delhi And other metro cities.

One of the biggest differences between BS6 and the BS4 is that the former contains 5 times lesser Sulfur content (10 parts/million) as compared to BS4 (50 ppm). Oxides of nitrogen (NOx), produced as a result of combustion, will be brought down by 70% for diesel, and 25% for petrol engines. Another significant change will be the presence of OBD (On-board Diagnostics) and RDE (Real Driving Emission) on all vehicles, enabling real-time tracking of emissions. Diesel motors will include DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technologies.

How will it affect customers?

With BS6 fuel already available in many cities, owners of older generation cars can opt for it at filling stations. This can give mixed results. There is a direct relationship between a fuel’s Sulphur content and its emission level, lower Sulphur content results into cleaner combustion. Petrol, which has lower Sulphur content, emits less carbon monoxide, NOx and other toxic hydrocarbons. BS6 diesel will release less particulate matter (PM) upon combustion. Studies suggest that a BS4 compliant diesel vehicle running on BS6 fuel could cut down PM emissions in half.

The other way around, a reduction in Sulphur content can lower the energy content of the fuel, bringing down the fuel efficiency, however marginally. Ultra-low Sulphur diesel (ULSD) could also exhibit reduced lubricity, and readiness to burn – a metric measured in cetane number. The increased cost of refining could result in the inflation of fuel price at fuel stations. With most oil companies started investing to upgrade their refineries.

How will it affect manufacturers?

While the transition to cleaner fuels will help bring down harmful pollutants, car-makers will have to spend heavily to develop BS6-compliant engines for their existing product line. The high investment which this entails has deterred many manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki from developing diesel engines compliant with the new norms. Maruti Suzuki announced that it will phase out diesel cars from its lineup by April 2020. With the deadline looming large over the horizon, prospective buyers are also shying away from diesel models of popular cars, adding to the unsold inventory pile of manufacturers. The auto industry, which is witnessing a slowdown, has to do away with its stock of BS4 vehicles before the Supreme Court-mandated deadline of April 2020. Many manufacturers have indulged in heavy discounting, while simultaneously investing in building BS6 fuel compatible engines. Analysts predict the prices to increase by 10 per cent, with carmakers passing on higher manufacturing costs to customers.

 Can BS4 cars run on BS6 fuel?

Petrol cars owner has little to worry about compliance as there is very little difference between BS4 and BS6 fuels. However, the same isn’t the case with diesel vehicles. The BS4 diesel has 5 times the sulphur content (50ppm) as compared to BS6 (10ppm). A diesel engine employs an injector to ionize fuel for combustion. The sulphur acts as a lubricant for diesel injectors. The use of BS6 diesel in older generation BS4 cars will cause the injector to wear out prematurely as low Sulphur in the fuel will lead to less lubrication.

BS6 cars run on BS4 fuel?

For petrol cars, the effect will be minimal. However, for diesel cars, using BS4 fuel in a BS6 car can cause many issues, some of which could have a burden on your finances. BS6 compliant diesel engines include an electronic unit like the Diesel Particulate Filter, and technologies like Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), which can be adversely impacted by high sulphur content in fuel. Higher sulphur content will increase emissions and also clog the DPF,

Cars with BS6 compliant engines in India

·        Maruti Alto (Rs 2.94 lakh and Rs 4.15 lakh)

·        Jeep Compass Trailhawk (Rs 26.80 lakh to Rs 27.60 lakh)

2020 Toyota Corolla Sedan First Look: Civic’s Prime Competition Is Back

Toyota’s freshly minted Corolla hatch, based on the hot new TNGA architecture, has been winning friends and influencing editors ever since we first clapped our eyes on it in March. We’ve since buckled in and strapped our gear on a few times and lauded the little hatch for its quantum-leapfrogging of its dreary Corolla iM predecessor. Sprightly dynamics and an upscale cockpit have drawn praise, while stingy rear-seat and cargo space drew raspberries. Those problems would seem to be easily solved by stretching the wheelbase (and rear leg environment) by 2.4 inches and grafting on a trunk. Yes, after testing out the tooling and letting the youth troubleshoot its hatchback for a few months, Toyota is now revealing the Corolla sedan.

Like the 2019 Corolla hatch, the 2020 Corolla sedan gets a broader stance, with its front and rear track widened by 0.5 and 0.9 inch, respectively, relative to the outgoing sedan. It also gets the hatch’s new 18-inch aluminum wheels on top trim levels, with lesser trims making do with steel or alloy 16s. Following a trend that started with the Camry, the whole car stands a bit lower—the height comes down 0.8 inch, the hood sits 1.4 inches lower, and with it the cowl, beltline, and instrument panel each come down a bit. The driver even sits an inch lower and 1.6 inches further rearward. All of this helps lower the center of gravity by 0.4 inch, while thinner A-pillars improve outward visibility.

Other refinements include a huge new one-piece floor silencer pad to hush road and tire noise, and a clever stratified climate control system that can feed fresh dehumidified air to the greenhouse to prevent fogging while recirculating warm air lower in the cabin.

The top powertrain offering in the SE and XSE models matches that of the sportier hatch—Toyota’s new 2.0-liter port- and direct-injected engine featuring a lofty 13:1 compression ratio, electric cam phasing, and variable cooling and lubrication circuits. Here it produces 169 hp (1 more than in the hatch) and 151 lb-ft of torque and comes teamed with a six-speed manual (featuring new micro-polished gear teeth for reduced noise) or a CVT that uses a torque converter and a conventional first gear, which then hands off to the belt-and-pulleys system. Base L, LE, and XLE grades get an updated version of the last model’s 1.8-liter engine, retuned for a bit more power and better fuel efficiency (neither claim has been quantified yet).

The sedan and hatch share most of what’s forward of the B-pillar, with the notable exception of the two fascia designs and the grille. The Toyota sombrero moves up from its central grille location on the hatch to that little island of painted bodywork that sits forward of the hood on the sedan. The Avalon-esque dash carries over, complete with its 8.0-inch touchscreen featuring the Entune 3.0 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay compatibility (sorry, no Android Auto yet). Base L models must make due with a less feature-rich 7.0-inch screen. Top models share the hatch’s 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster speedometer display, while lesser grades get a 4.2-inch multi-information display flanked by analog speedo and tach dials. A full suite of connectivity features is available, including accident reporting, remote vehicle status reporting via phone app, onboard Wi-Fi powered by Verizon, and concierge services.

Continuing where the last-gen model left off and matching the 2019 Honda Civic, every 2020 Toyota Corolla will feature Safety Sense 2.0 gear as standard. This includes a radar- and camera-based pre-collision system that warns and brakes, adaptive cruise control (on CVT models it even handles stop-and-go traffic), lane-departure alert that will steer to prevent lane departure, or with the CVT, “Lane Trace Assist,” which keeps the car centered in its lane. There’s even auto-high-beam assist and Road Sign Assist to interpret and display speed limit, stop, yield, and do-not-enter signs.

The 2020 Corolla’s predecessor placed a disappointing sixth out of seven compacts in a 2016 Big Test comparison. Once the new sedan arrives, we look forward to seeing whether its performance improves without overshadowing the practical strengths that have made the car a sales success for so many years.

The Latest: Plan to guide drivers to vacant parking spots

LAS VEGAS /January 8, 2018 (AP)(STL.News) — The Latest on the CES technology show in Las Vegas (all times local):

1:20 p.m.

Automotive supplier Bosch wants to help guide drivers to vacant parking spots in more than a dozen U.S. cities this year.

The German company says it’s been testing its “community-based parking” initiative in Stuttgart and other German cities and will launch it later this year in as many as 20 U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Miami and Boston.

The company says it will be working with automakers on the initiative but didn’t say which ones. As cars drive by, they will automatically recognize and measure gaps between parked cars and transmit that data to a digital map.

The company has been pushing a number of smart-city projects, including internet-connected sensors to monitor pollution, allergens and flooding.

Bosch made the announcement Monday at the CES gadget show in Las Vegas.

The smartphones and other small machines that used to dominate the annual CES gadget show have been overshadowed in recent years by bigger mobile devices: namely, automobiles.

Major automakers like Toyota, Kia, Hyundai and Ford have a noticeable presence at this week’s tech showcase in Las Vegas, though most save more practical announcements about new cars, trucks and SUVs for the upcoming Detroit auto show.

CES has been a chance for carmakers and suppliers of automotive parts and software to display their wilder and far-out ideas. A Chinese company, Byton, has unveiled an attention-grabbing concept electric SUV with futuristic features. Nvidia announced it’s teaming up to help Uber develop self-driving taxis. Lyft is using its own self-driving fleet to transport conference attendees. Scooters and three-wheeled street cars will also be on display.

Toyota says it’s developing self-driving mini-buses that can serve as bite-sized stores.

These vehicles will drive themselves to places where potential buyers can try on clothes or shoes or pick through flea market items. They can also give employees fully functional office space on their commute.

The project, unveiled at the CES gadget show Monday, is still in the conceptual stage. A concept vehicle is still being developed and will be tested in the 2020s. A version is also expected to make an appearance at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

The Japanese automaker is partnering with Amazon, Uber, Pizza Hut, Mazda and Chinese ride-hailing firm Didi on what it is calling the e-Palette Alliance.

Toyota President Akio Toyoda told CES conference attendees: “In the future, the store will come to you.”

Toy maker VTech has agreed to pay $650,000 to settle charges it violated a law protecting children’s privacy.

The Federal Trade Commission said Monday that VTech collected personal information from children without getting parental consent and didn’t do enough to protect the data it collected. The FTC says that the VTech settlement is the first privacy and security case related to toys connected to the internet.

Such toys have become popular, and companies are expected to unveil more toys and other internet-connected gadgets at the CES tech show in Las Vegas this week.

Concern about the toys’ security has grown. That’s in part due to VTech, whose database was hacked in 2015, exposing the names and ages of more than 6 million kids who used its toys. The FBI also warned last year that connected toys could be susceptible to hackers.

Robot fails are almost a given at technology trade shows, and this year’s CES is no exception.

As LG unveiled its lineup of smart appliances, executive David VanderWaal quickly lost rapport with his on-stage partner, the cute voice-activated assistant CLOi. After an initial greeting, CLOi stopped responding while continuing to blink its digital eyes.

On stage, VanderWaal remarked, “CLOi, are you talking to me yet? What recipes should I make with chicken?”

The robot failed to come back to life during the 45-minute talk. VanderWaal shrugged it off, saying, “even robots have bad days.”

LG and other companies are giving previews ahead of Tuesday’s opening of the annual CES show in Las Vegas.

Flummoxed by the alphabet soup of features on new TVs?

TV manufacturers are showcasing new models at the CES gadget show in Las Vegas this week — all with acronyms to set their sets apart.

One feature called HDR10+ takes what’s known as high-dynamic range and adjusts settings for each frame, instead of having levels set for the entire video at once. HDR10+ is also a way to get around royalty payments for a competing technology called Dolby Vision.

Meanwhile, quantum-dot technology promises more accurate colors. Samsung calls its version QLED (pronounced q-led), which shouldn’t be confused with OLED (o-led), a display that offers darker blacks and better contrast. And don’t be fooled by LEDs (l-e-d). They are just regular screens with a certain type of lighting.

A plush, robotic duck may soon become a fixture in the world of children with cancer. The social robot can be silly, happy, angry, scared or sick just like them, and help them cope with their illness through the power of play.

Aaron Horowitz was diagnosed with a debilitating condition as a child. He and his Rhode Island-based company Sproutel developed the emotional support robot to help children manage stress and change the way they deal with their health.

The American Cancer Society says almost 11,000 U.S. children are diagnosed with cancer yearly.

The duck is modeled after the mascot for insurance company Aflac, which paid for its development. Beginning later this year, the ducks will be distributed free to kid patients.

The duck’s expected to be featured Monday at the CES gadget show in Las Vegas.
