2012 Yamaha Super Ténéré (Tenere) model Features

= All new, 1199cc, fuel injected, inline twin
= Traction control, ABS & Unified braking

ENGINE
All new, compact, lightweight, 1199cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve, inline twin pumps out over 80 foot pounds of torque, one of the key ingredients that makes adventure touring so exciting.

Engine is slanted 26 degrees forward, allowing for the use of a very efficient downdraft intake system and at the same time lowering the centre of gravity for light, easy handling

All new 4-valve cylinder head design. The DOHC valve train features 37mm intake and 31mm exhaust valves. Valve angles are 12.5 degrees for the intakes and 14 degrees from centre for the exhaust, creating a compact combustion chamber. The valves feature an Isonite coating for excellent durability.

Automatic, hydraulic automatic cam chain tensioner reduces both maintenance and engine mechanical noise.

4-valve cylinder head features 2 spark plugs per cylinder which shortens the flame diffusion time and speeds combustion for excellent torque character.

High performance direct ignition coils (ignition coil is built into the spark plug cap) reduce weight while iridium spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver increased spark energy.

High performance, short skirt, forged aluminium pistons are light weight for fast throttle response and also reduce reciprocating mass for less mechanical vibration. Compression ratio is 11:1

Newly designed 270 degree crankshaft with uneven firing order (270 & 450 degrees) is used for superior traction and throttle control. This crank design and firing order reduces the "inertial torque" providing a more linear throttle response and improved rear wheel traction. The rider feels like he / she is connected directly to the rear wheel, an important benefit when riding on loose surfaces like gravel and dirt.

The crank uses carburized connecting rods for excellent strength and durability. Carburizing is a heat treating process that increases the carbon content on the outer surface of the rod increasing its strength and durability.

Ceramic composite cylinder "bores" are a "liner less" design with the ceramic coating applied directly to the aluminium block to ensure uniform heat dissipation for consistent power delivery, reduced oil consumption, reduced friction and reduced weight.

Specially designed high lift intake and exhaust cams provide excellent torque and power characteristics well suited to adventure touring.

Automatic decompression device makes starting the Super Tenere fast and easy. The benefit is the starter motor can be made smaller and lighter since the load on it is reduced.

Dual, front and rear gear driven balancer shafts reduce engine vibration to a minimum for great rider and passenger comfort

Single, side mounted (LHS) radiator with specially designed ring type cooling fan keeps engine temperatures under control. The side location helps lessen the overall length of the bike.

Dry sump lubrication system eliminates the deep design oil pan on the bottom of the engine. The oil tank is integrated inside the engine cases. This design helps increase ground clearance since there is no oil pan under the engine. It also reduces weight and centralizes mass since there is no remote oil tank or oil lines.

Easy access spin-type oil filter and drain plug make oil changes fast and easy.

Newly designed air box optimizes air flow for excellent power & torque output and uses a high flow viscous paper filter element.

Dual bore, 46mm throttle body fuel injection system with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and APS (Accelerator Position Sensor ). This is a "closed loop" system that utilizes oxygen sensors in both header pipes. The sensors "sniff" the spent exhaust gases and feeds info back to the ECU which in turn adjusts the fuel/air mixture for maximum power with minimum emissions. The oxygen sensor is located before the muffler, so the use of a slip-on muffler will not affect this system.

Denso injectors utilize 12 holes and a 20 degree spray pattern for excellent fuel atomization, more complete combustion chamber filling and instant throttle response. One injector per cylinder. Fuel injection benefits include excellent fuel economy; choke-less operation, reduced emissions, and smoother running.

Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) electronically controls the throttle valves for outstanding response and improved controllability at all rpms. The YCC-T is used to provide even more control of the intake air volume for a smoother torque character. Special main ECU actually features 3 internal ECUs to control ignition, fuel injection and the YCC-T. The ECU that controls the YCC-T is capable of responding to changes at a speed of 1000th of a second.

The rider can "mechanically close" the throttles by simply closing the throttle twist grip.

Traction control function is also part of the ABS system and works in conjunction with the YCC-T system. Utilizing front and rear wheel sensors, this system senses when the rear wheel begins to spin and modifies the ignition timing and fuel injection to reduce power and eliminate wheel spin. This traction control system features 2 operating modes; TCS1 the standard mode and TCS2 with slightly less effectiveness. The system can also be turned off for those occasions when rear wheel spin is desired.

Yamaha D-Mode variable throttle control, also a function of the YCC-T, enables the rider to adjust the performance characteristics of the engine based on riding conditions or rider preferences. The "S mode" provides sporty engine performance while the "T mode" is well suited for touring or around town use. The D-Mode switch is located on the R.H.S. handlebar switch gear.

Wide ratio 6-speed transmission utilizes optimized gear ratios suited for a wide variety of riding conditions. Top gear is an overdrive gear delivering reduced rpms at highway speeds for relaxed, long-distance comfort.

High capacity, heavy duty clutch uses 9 friction and 8 steel plates. The clutch lever offers 4 positions of adjustment to suit a variety of hand sizes.

Low maintenance, compact shaft drive system features a hypoid gear. The benefit of the hypoid gear is that it allows the ring gear to be smaller, thereby reducing the size and weight of the housing as well. Reducing unsprung weight enhances handling.

2 into 1 exhaust system features a honeycomb style catalyser to reduce harmful exhaust emissions and a compact "elliptical" short design muffler. The "elliptical" design keeps the muffler thin, thereby maintaining a slim overall machine width. The muffler features a heat shield to protect the rider and passenger as well as providing a throaty exhaust note.

Compact 600 watt (@ 5,000rpms) AC magneto provides lots of electrical power

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION
Backbone style high tensile steel frame uses the engine as a stressed member. Steel pipe is used since it offers an excellent strength - rigidity balance and more inherent softness than aluminium, for excellent rider and passenger comfort … especially on longer rides. The engine is mounted low in the frame and allows for a fuel tank designed to lower the centre of gravity too.

Detachable rear sub frame is made of aluminium for reduced weight and good strength. This rear frame has been designed to withstand the rigors of rough adventure riding with a passenger and gear.

Long design, low pressure cast steel swingarm. This casting method offers superior strength since it reduces the amount of gas / air trapped in the material … making it stronger. The long design contributes to stability and handling. The left side of the arm "houses" the drive shaft.

Fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork. This fork has been designed to offer good compliance and stroke feeling. Adjustments include 8-way spring preload, 10-way rebound and 13-way compression damping. Front wheel travel is 190mm (7.5"). This adjustable design allows the rider to tailor suspension settings to match rider weight, load and terrain conditions.

Link type Monocross rear suspension system features an adjustable, shock with conveniently located integrated "knob type" spring preload adjuster (no tools are required to adjust rear spring pre-load). Rear shock adjustments include: 6-way spring preload and 18-way rebound damping. Rear wheel travel is 190mm (7.5").

ABS equipped dual 310mm "wave style" floating front discs are squeezed by ultra rigid 4-piston monoblock calipers. The master cylinder features a 16mm piston. Braking performance is excellent and offers good "feedback" to the rider. There are 5 positions of adjustability for the front brake lever to suit a variety of hand sizes

ABS equipped "wave-style" 282mm rear disc is squeezed by a single piston, slide-type rear caliper. The rear master cylinder uses a 14mm piston to deliver strong, progressive stopping power with excellent control and feel.

The ABS or Anti Lock Braking System features Yamaha's next generation independent linear controlled system with step-less, infinitely variable hydraulic pressure adjustment. The ABS unit, the ECU and the hydraulic unit are combined into a single compact unit that allows for mass centralization. This system uses the same wheel sensors as the traction control system, further reducing weight. When the ABS system senses impending wheel lock-up, the system regulates the hydraulic pressure to the point just before the wheel or wheels lock-up. The benefit of ABS is excellent control under hard braking or when braking on wet, slippery or loose surfaces. The ABS system helps prevents wheel lock up.

Unified Brake System is combined with the ABS system. The Unified Braking System is a system whereby when the front brake is activated; an electronic control applies some rear wheel braking force as well. The amount of rear braking force is dependant upon how hard the front brake has been applied, unit speed and the amount of load on the unit. If the rear brake is applied prior to the front brake, it cancels the unified braking system temporarily (there may be times on difficult terrain when a rider does not want the unified system to activate).

Large capacity 23 litre fuel tank is vertically elongated to help centralize mass and lower the centre of gravity. Parts of tank are positioned low, behind the air box and the cylinders to keep weight lower in the chassis. The reserve portion is 3.9 litres.

"Double T" type rim is used on the front wheel. There are 2 raised "rails" that the spokes attach to, allowing the use of tubeless tires and providing the optimum spoke angle for excellent strength and durability. The rear rim, since it is wider, only uses a single raised rail design. Both front and rear tires are radials.

Dual, cat-eye, projector type H7, 55 / 55 watt headlights provide a serious beam of light for extra confidence when riding after dark. A solenoid moves the shade that controls the projector headlight function.

Touring focused rider and passenger seats. The rider portion (only) offers two different seat height settings. The low position is 845mm (33.3") off the ground while the tall position is 870mm (34.3"). The passenger seat is removable.

Multi-function plastic resin rear rack. In standard form it is a conventional rack / carrier. It also functions as a mount for the accessory 30 litre top box. And finally, there is an additional carrier built in under the passenger seat. When the passenger seat is removed, it blends with the rear rack to make a longer platform, providing maximum rack area / space.

Based on the Super Tenere being used for various types of riding conditions, the handlebar position and bend have been designed to be both versatile and comfortable whether the rider is standing or sitting. The handlebars are a rugged tapered design for excellent strength and durability.

The combination rubber / steel rider footrests offer the best of two worlds. When sitting, the rider's foot is resting on the vibration damping rubber insets. When standing the rubbers compress and expose the serrated edges of the steel pegs providing additional grip for more technical riding.

Compact, multi function, one-piece instrument features analog tachometer, digital speedometer, dual tripmeters, fuel tripmeter, fuel gauge, and clock. It also features traction control and D-mode indicators, average and instant fuel consumption readouts, coolant temperature, ABS warning light and self-diagnosis functions, plus more. Background illumination is adjustable. The button that operates the traction control system is conveniently located on the side of the instrument for easy access.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Need a Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer and looking for an ethical, experienced and aggressive lawyer to figure out if you may be entitled to money compensation for your serious injury?

In Florida, motorcycle accidents happen mostly because automobile drivers do not share the road. I frequently represent seriously injured motorcycle riders because a car fails to see the motorcycle and then the car pulls out into the intersection. Another common reason is that the car driver changes lanes without looking. The most frequent injuries are fractures of shoulder or wrists from going over the handlebars, or femur (long bone of the leg) fractures from laying the bike down or a side impact. Unfortunately, even at slower speeds and with a helmet, I have represented the family of fathers and sons who have died in motorcycle crashes.

As a Florida Motorcycle accident lawyer, I understand that you may want to express you individuality and freedom on the road by making the decision as an adult not to wear a helmet. The insurance company in a brain injury case will argue that you are the cause of your own injury being worse because if you were wearing a helmet the injury would not have been so bad.

I retain experts in biomechanics, who are engineers and if the evidence is available and in your favor, they can calculate the force of the impact and tell the insurance company that they are wrong. That wearing a helmet would not have made a difference. A helmet sometimes can actually make the injury worse. I am not advocating that you should not wear a helmet , it's just that wearing one does not always make a difference. It depends on the accident circumstances. Each Florida Motorcycle Accident claim will get my personal attention to detail and my 30 years of experience.

If you would like to consult for free with a Florida civil trial lawyer who is board certified as an expert in civil trial then please call 888-446-1999

There will be no charge for lawyer fees of representation or costs of representation if there is not money compensation recovery.

ENGINE

942cc, air-cooled, SOHC, 4-valves per cylinder, 60° V-twin produces outstanding low- and mid-range torque - maximum torque is reached at only 3,500 rpm - for exceptional cruising performance.

One-piece cylinder heads feature 4-valves per cylinder to provide optimum volumetric or filling efficiency for maximum power output. More fuel / air mixture entering the combustion chamber means increased power output. Two smaller intake valves allow more air flow than a single large valve. Two smaller valves (lighter) also allow for higher rpms before valve float.

Pent roof type combustion with optimized squish area forces the fuel / air mixture toward the centre of the combustion chamber (and the centrally located long reach spark plug) for faster, more complete combustion and in turn improved power and reduced emissions.

Cylinder heads feature polished fins for a quality appearance, while the cylinder head covers are chromed.

The SOHC valve train features 31.5mm intake and 28mm exhaust valves with single valve springs which reduce friction and power losses. Specially designed "Y" shaped roller rocker arms activate the valves. The roller rocker system features a needle bearing surface rotating against the camshaft allowing the lift of 2 valves at the same time without producing excessive camshaft wear and friction.

Auto adjusting cam chain tensioners are used to reduce mechanical engine noise and maintenance

Lightweight "liner-less" aluminium cylinders feature ceramic composite plating for superior heat dissipation for better cooling, less friction, reduced weight and longer engine life.

Single pin style crankshaft is used to enhance engine character and exhaust note.

Dual bore, 35mm throttle body fuel injection system with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and ISC (Idle Speed Control). This is a "closed loop" system that utilizes a heated oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor feeds back info to the ECU which in turn adjusts the fuel/air mixture for maximum power with minimum emissions. The oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of slip-ons will not affect this system.

4-hole, 2-directional spray, Denso injectors are used for excellent fuel atomization and more complete combustion chamber filling. There is one injector per cylinder.

Fuel injection benefits include improved fuel economy; choke less starting, reduced emissions, and smoother drivability. The XVS950 has been tuned to provide a very "linear" throttle response for easy riding.

Powerful 32 bit ECU controls the ignition and fuel injection process

Stylish 2 into 1 exhaust system features a 3-way honeycomb-type catalyser at the entry point to the muffler. The catalyser reduces harmful exhaust emissions, while the "dual stage type" muffler produces a low, throaty V-Twin exhaust note.

One-way clutch-type electric starter decreases mechanical noise during starting.

Multi-plate "outer pull type'" wet clutch is used. Lever pull is light and easy.

5-speed transmission features optimized gear ratios for excellent city and highway drivability. Transmission gears use "straight cut dogs" for smooth, positive shifting. 5th gear delivers outstanding cruising performance and reduced rpms at highway speed

One piece classic heel-and-toe shifter adds versatility and enhances the overall cruising experience.

Transistorized coil ignition provides a hot spark for sure starts and is maintenance-free.

Clean, quiet belt drive system is extremely low maintenance and simplifies customization. The belt features "Aramid" cords for excellent strength and reduced stretching.

Yamaha Scorpio Z "Facelift" Dilengkapi AHO

peluncuran new yamaha Scorpio Z facelift tanpa prosesi, bulan ini. Perubahan tampak pada striping dan kombinasi warna.

Menariknya, desain striping terinspirasi dari bentuk magma meleleh yang mengeluarkan api panas. Itu bisa disimak pada tangki, cover side dan scoop air yang membuat tampilan Scropio Z semakin lebih powerful dan memberikan "Sensasi Tantangan Sejati" sesuai tagline-nya.

Selain striping, Yamaha juga memperkaya tampilan Scropio Z dengan kombinasi warna baru, hitam (warna dasar) dipadu biru dan silver pada tangki, cover side dan airscoop. Sedangkan yang warna dasar merah dipadukan dengan silver dan hitam pada tangki, cover side dan scoop air.

Tak cuma itu. Yamaha juga melengkapi Scorpio Z baru dengan automatic head light on (AHO) yang menggeser fungsi saklar. Jadi, lampu menyala otomatis saat motor dihidupkan. Apa yang diterapkan Yamaha ini sesuai dengan Undang-Undang No.22 Tahun 2009 tentang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan pasal 107 di mana pengendara diwajibkan menyalakan lampu pada siang hari.

Dengan begitu, sudah 6 motor Yamaha yang memiliki AHO. Scropio Z dan V-Ixion dari barisan motor sport, Jupiter Z dan Jupiter MX di kategori bebek dan motor matik Yamaha yaitu Xeon.

”Yamaha telah dikenal sebagai rajanya motor sport dan ini tetap dibuktikan dengan keunggulan produk yang ada di Yamaha. Saat ini, produk sport Yamaha diisi V-Ixion, Byson dan Scorpio Z,” ungkap Indra Dwi Sunda, PR Corporate & Communication Head Yamaha Indonesia. Yamaha melempar Scorpio Z ke pasaran dengan harga Rp 23.790.000 (OTR) untuk wilayah Jakarta dan sekitarnya.

Coluna Alta Roda - Duster levanta poeira

Por Fernando Calmon

Finalmente, teremos uma luta boa entre utilitários esporte (SUV, em inglês) de preço menor. Este subsegmento foi desbravado pela Ford com o EcoSport, em 2003, até hoje encastelado na liderança. No ano 2000, venderam-se apenas 13.600 unidades de apelo aventureiro – verdadeiro ou apenas sugestivo; em 2010, nada menos que 217.000 veículos, crescimento de 1.500% para o segmento inteiro, com preços entre R$ 50.000 e R$ 500.000.

A dificuldade de outros fabricantes era antecipar certas modificações no projeto básico de um veículo compacto, tração dianteira, de tal forma a permitir uma carroceria típica de utilitário com ares urbanos. A Renault, agora, vem com o Duster e será seguida por Chevrolet e Hyundai. O jipinho romeno Dacia, marca do grupo francês, lançado em março de 2010 na Europa, chega aqui apenas 19 meses depois. Fabricado em São José dos Pinhais (PR) tem índice de nacionalização inicial de 67%, mas chegará a 75%.

Uma equipe de mais 600 engenheiros no Brasil, além de um centro de desenho, implantou 774 alterações no projeto original. Em parte para amenizar o estilo meio rústico do modelo original e fazer melhorias internas, a exemplo do painel frontal e console de teto. O Duster utiliza a mesma arquitetura do Logan/Sandero, com distância entre-eixos generosa de 2,67 m e bastante espaço no banco traseiro. Os três modelos subverteram conceitos: custo de produção de compacto e tamanho de médio-compacto.

Aliás, preço é uma vantagem evidente. Partindo de R$ 50.900 (tração 4x2, motor 1,6 flex/115 cv), chega a R$ 64.600, curiosamente, igual para a versão 4x4, motor flex 2 litros/142 cv, câmbio manual de 6 marchas e para o 4x2, mesmo motor, câmbio automático de quatro marchas. O Duster não possui estepe externo – elogiável, como no Honda CR-V –, o que ajudou nos custos, peso, consumo de combustível e aerodinâmica. Há diminuição no volume do porta-malas, 4x2 (475 litros) e 4x4 (400 litros), pois nessa o estepe fica na parte interna do assoalho.

Dinamicamente o motor mais fraco sofre um pouco para lidar com os mais de 1.200 kg. Mas apresenta bom comportamento em estradas asfaltadas, apesar de 21 cm de vão livre e altura total de 1,69 m. O câmbio, bem curto, aumenta o nível de ruído do motor.

Interessante a Renault ter optado por características marcantes para uso leve ou fora de estrada. Na versão 4x4 por demanda há bloqueio manual de 50% de tração em cada eixo. O carro vai bem em terra e atoleiros, ajudado pelo motor de 2 litros (agora com taxa de compressão alta de 11,2:1, ideal para etanol) e um câmbio manual de primeira curtíssima. Na versão 4x2, automática, o motor mais forte quase sussurra a 100 km/h constantes.

Os planos são de vender 2.500 unidades/mês, o que faria a Renault se aproximar de 6% de participação anual de mercado, já em 2012. Para tal, anunciou investimento de R$ 500 milhões a fim de aumentar a produção em 100.000 veículos/ano, na prática uma fábrica nova nas instalações atuais.

Carlos Ghosn, presidente da aliança Renault-Nissan, espera que em cinco anos a marca francesa tenha 8% do mercado e a japonesa – do alto de R$ 2,6 bilhões para unidade fabril nova em Resende (RJ) – alcance 5%.


RODA VIVA 



Ford completou a linha que batizou de New Fiesta com a versão hatch. Importado do México, tem preço inicial de R$ 48.950 e chega a R$ 54.900 com sete airbags. Mais caro que outros compactos premium à venda, aposta no seu estilo – mais atraente do que o sedã –, no nível de acabamento e principalmente na qualidade dos materiais, como plástico macio no painel.

Conjunto motor-câmbio é o ponto alto dessa nova geração do Fiesta: direção elétrica bem calibrada, motor flex 1,6/115 cv e suspensões de acerto fino. Ford acredita que o poder aquisitivo em alta vai valorizar modelos mais elaborados, nos próximos anos. O hatch será produzido em Camaçari (BA), no final de 2012, mas o sedã poderá continuar vindo apenas do México.

Mercado em setembro caiu em relação a agosto por ter menos dois dias úteis. Porém, a média diária de vendas – 14.840 veículos de todos os tipos – não foi ruim: 4,2% a mais do que o mês anterior. No acumulado do ano, 2011 ainda supera 2010 em 7,2%. Sinalizações desconfortáveis (para 2012) são inadimplência em leve alta e índice de confiança em discreta baixa.

Cenário econômico mais difícil significa que a competição acirrada está segurando preços, independentemente do aumento de imposto para modelos de fora do Mercosul e México. Chinesas JAC e Chery confirmaram suas fábricas no Brasil, apesar de se queixarem do “protecionismo descabido”. Segundo Carlos Ghosn, nacionalização obrigatória na China é de 90% e no Brasil, 65%.

Jornal alemão de negócios Handelsblatt confirmou o que a coluna antecipou há dois meses: BMW terá fábrica no Brasil. Segundo a publicação, a ser instalada na Grande São Paulo e a anunciar em dezembro. Novo regime automobilístico exigirá investimentos de peso para maior conteúdo local.

A coluna Alta Roda aborda temas de variado interesse na área automobilística: comportamento, mercado, avaliações de veículos, segredos, técnica, segurança, legislação, tecnologia e economia. A coluna semanal é reproduzida em 85 jornais, revistas e sites brasileiros. Está dimensionada com 5.000 caracteres e é editada nas 52 semanas do ano. Alta Roda começou a ser publicada em 1º de maio 1999. Firmou-se como referência no jornalismo especializado por sua independência e análises objetivas.

Tata Xenon é flagrada em São Paulo

O leitor Renato Pasqua Iandoli flagrou duas unidades da picape Xenon rodando livremente pela Avenida Tiradentes em São Paulo. Pra quem não conhece, ela é produzida pela montadora indiana Tata - a mesma que produz o pequeno Nano -, que ainda é conhecido como modelo mais barato do mundo.


A presença dessas duas unidades em solo nacional faz sentido, já que a montadora asiática negocia um acordo de venda de seus produtos com a empresa SHC, do empresário Sérgio Habib, que atualmente comanda as operações da JAC Motors do Brasil.

Os dois grupos estão em conversa há algum tempo e tudo indica que um acordo será fechado em breve. Se fechado, as operações começarão em 2013, com a venda dessa picape que aparece nas imagens.


A picape Tata Xenon poderá ser oferecida no mercado brasileiro com a opção de cabine simples e dupla e motor turbodiesel de 2,2 ou 3 litros, além de tração 4x2 ou 4x4.

Coluna Alta Roda - Sem distinção de origem

Ainda não baixou toda a poeira do aumento do Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados (IPI), mas já permite uma análise aprofundada. Claro, trata-se de medida protecionista que todos execram. Entretanto, isso é o que menos falta no mundo, hoje, por meio de barreiras válidas ou disfarçadas, especialmente após a crise financeira de 2008. Exemplos: no México, só podem importar as marcas que produzam lá ou mediante acordos comerciais (chineses e sul-coreanos ficam de fora); os que não fabricam na Argentina devem compensar a importação comprando produtos locais e exportando.

Há outros casos curiosos. Apesar do alto poder aquisitivo, na Coreia do Sul todos os importados, inclusive marcas premium, ocupam apenas 1% do mercado interno. Será que estrangeiros oferecem menor prazo de garantia? Na China, o programa subsidiado de veículos elétricos só é válido para os produzidos por chineses. Provavelmente, pela qualidade superior...

Isso posto, vem o IPI majorado em 30 pontos percentuais, na média aumento real da alíquota de 26,5%. Difícil derrubar essa medida na Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC). O governo alegaria que a nova alíquota é para todos, sem distinção de origem, seguida por normas de incentivos para fabricação local, como já ocorre com computadores e outros bens. Decisões da OMC são lentas e o IPI maior vale, inicialmente, até o final de 2012. Tempo curto demais para eventual disputa.

Emenda constitucional, de dezembro de 2003, de fato estabelece um mínimo de 90 dias para alterar um tributo. Alguns acham que a regra vale para impostos novos e que IPI existe desde os anos 1960. Juízes terão que decidir. Faz parte do cipoal legislativo típico do famigerado Custo Brasil.

Protecionismo, em princípio, prejudica consumidores. Porém, é bom lembrar que não se exige conteúdo local para produzir veículos no País, salvo os 60% dentro do Mercosul. O novo índice de nacionalização de 65% é mais rigoroso: desconta (agora) a carga fiscal, há processos produtivos regulados e gastos obrigatórios em pesquisas. Deixa alguma flexibilização por dispensar das exigências 20% da produção.

Também não dá para exagerar. Novas marcas que queiram construir fábricas aqui poderiam seguir uma escala crescente de uso de autopeças nacionais ou do Mercosul, iniciando em 30%. Parece óbvio que isso ocorrerá. Afinal, mesmo que a maior intenção de investimento desses entrantes signifique menos de 10% do que apenas um dos fabricantes estabelecidos já iniciou, o Brasil precisa de todos os empregos que possa gerar. Na longa cadeia industrial a geração de renda é superior ao setor comercial, no nosso estágio de desenvolvimento atual.

Ponderando prós e contras, inclusive a situação cambial que favorece importar e não fabricar localmente, toda essa confusão do IPI tende a ser neutra para o consumidor, em médio prazo, e favorável, em longo prazo, por atrair investimentos pesados e maior concorrência. De início, bônus e financiamentos subsidiados podem até diminuir. É ingenuidade, no entanto, achar que importadores repassarão toda essa carga fiscal, desistindo de um dos mercados mais atraentes do mundo, onde todos brigam por décimos de participação nas vendas.


RODA VIVA 



DODGE Journey e Fiat Freemont continuarão a vir do México isentos de imposto de importação e do IPI majorado. Acordo bilateral tem sido muito favorável ao Brasil: exportamos mais de 1,5 milhão de unidades em dez anos e importamos nem um terço desse volume. March e novo Fiesta, hoje mexicanos, serão fabricados aqui, diminuindo importações.

SEDÃ compacto Chevrolet Cobalt não terá arquitetura baseada na do Corsa alemão e muito menos será a versão sedã do Agile. Por ora, a GM esconde essa informação, mas o carro foi desenvolvido em conjunto pelas filiais brasileira e sul-coreana (antes conhecida como GM Daewoo Auto & Technology). Modelo chega ainda esse ano, substituindo Astra e Corsa sedã atuais.

VERSÃO básica do Tiguan 2012 passa a custar R$ 110.000 com repasse parcial do novo IPI. Derivado do Golf, recebeu retoques na frente e traseira e, no interior, rádio com navegador. Assist Park II agora permite entrar e sair das vagas, inclusive as transversais, com mínima intervenção do motorista. Impressiona a nova tração 4x4 permanente, tanto no asfalto como na terra.

VENDER a ideia de um modelo comum voltado para a economia de combustível não é nada fácil. A Fiat faz isso agora com o motor de 1,4 litro do Uno Economy. Antes só aplicava o conceito a motores de 1 litro, como do próprio Uno. Pacote inclui transmissão, pneus, suspensões e gerenciamento do motor modificados para alcançar de 10% a 15% de economia.

BOSCH aumentará oferta de produtos de ponta produzidos no Brasil. Além do ABS de nona geração, ESP também entra no portfólio. São unidades mais compactas e leves, iguais às europeias, para ampliar segurança ativa nos automóveis. A empresa inicia atividades de energia solar, nacionalizando placas fotovoltaicas.

Chery mantém planos de fábrica no país

A montadora chinesa divulgou essa semana uma nota oficial à respeito do aumento de IPI anunciado recentemente pelo governo e para afirmar o comprometimento em construir sua primeira fábrica em território nacional. Veja abaixo o comunicado oficial da montadora:

Diante da medida provisória anunciada pelo governo brasileiro no dia 15 de setembro, que prevê aumento de 30% até 55% da alíquota do IPI para veículos fabricados fora do Mercosul, a Chery comunica oficialmente que os planos de implantação de uma unidade industrial da montadora no país, no município de Jacareí (SP), permanecem inalterados.

Os estudos que fundamentaram a decisão da maior montadora independente chinesa (sem associação com nenhuma outra fabricante de veículos) estão baseados em mercado futuro, em participação efetiva e definitiva da Chery no mercado brasileiro como player permanente.

A empresa seguirá, sempre, as normas e determinações impostas pelo governo brasileiro, mesmo com a constatação de evidentes pontos de protecionismo injustificado no conteúdo da medida editada.

Alguns ajustes no procedimento de implantação poderão ser necessários, mas, para uma empresa que pretende fazer parte do mercado brasileiro, por acreditar em seu potencial de crescimento, a visão de futuro continua servindo de incentivo à causa proposta pela Chery de instalar-se no Brasil.

Site flagra o para-choque do Novo Seat Leon



O site SeatFansClub conseguiu flagrar o para-choque da próxima geração do Seat Leon, previsto para estrear no próxima edição do Salão de Genebra, em março de 2012. O site se refere à imagem como sendo da reestilização do Ibiza, mas se compararmos com os flagras recentes desse modelo vemos que os detalhes não batem. Por isso é quase certo que se trata da peça da nova geração do hatch-médio e não do compacto.

A imagem divulgada revela que as linhas do novo modelo foram inspiradas no protótipo IBe, mostrado na última edição do Salão de Paris. Ao que tudo indica, elas ficarão bem mais ousadas e esportivas em relação ao que temos no modelo atual.

Chevrolet Cobalt é visto sem camuflagem em SP

O leitor Gustavo Henrique Ferreira flagrou uma unidade do novo sedã compacto Cobalt da Chevrolet na cidade de São Caetano do Sul escondendo apenas o logotipo da marca.



O novo modelo que chega oficialmente no mês que vem já não é mais segredo e virou figurinha fácil nas ruas do país. Ele será oferecido em duas versões de acabamento e inicialmente com motor 1.4 Econoflex. Posteriormente é grande a chance de também dele ser oferecido com a opção 1.8 Ecotec.

Sua chegada deve aposentar os atuais Corsa e Astra nas versões sedã. O preço da versão mais em conta vai ficar na casa dos 38 mil reais.
