Model Baru PROTON

Kereta dilengkapi enjin Campro 1.6 turbo berharga serendah RM60,000

PROTON Holdings Bhd akan memperkenalkan model baru sepenuhnya, iaitu kereta generasi baru pertama yang direka dan dibangunkan selaras keperluan perundangan dan peraturan automotif global terkini, pada pertengahan bulan depan.

Sumber dalaman berkata, model yang dikenali dengan nama kod P3-21A itu akan dijual pada harga antara RM60,000 hingga RM70,000 seunit, sekali gus menepati tanggungjawab syarikat sebagai pengeluar kereta nasional yang sentiasa memasarkan kereta dengan harga mampu milik tanpa berkompromi dengan tahap kualiti.

“Nama rasmi model baru yang dilengkapi dengan enjin Campro 1.6 turbo itu sudah pun dimuktamadkan kumpulan pengurusan PROTON, manakala pelancarannya pula dijangka akan dibuat Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak di Pusat Kecemerlangan PROTON di Subang Jaya, Selangor,” katanya.

Menurut sumber berkenaan, model baru itu juga akan merapatkan jurang segmen kereta antara Persona dan Inspira, seterusnya memberikan lebih banyak pilihan kepada pengguna memiliki kereta. 

Katanya, model baru itu akan menepati pelbagai penanda aras antarabangsa yang ditetapkan bagi sebuah syarikat pengeluar kenderaan, khususnya membabitkan standard pelepasan asap selain dilengkapi ciri keselamatan termasuk empat beg udara, sistem kawalan brek ABS, EBD serta sistem kawalan penstabilan elektronik (ESC).

Katanya, selain ciri keselamatan, P3-21A juga dilengkapi pelbagai rekaan terkini serba lengkap, sama ada dari aspek kelengkapan aksesori mahu pun utiliti. 
“Menariknya, cermin sisi model baru ini akan berfungsi secara automatik dengan melipat ke dalam setiap kali pemilik kenderaan mengaktifkan sistem penggera kereta dan ia juga akan terbuka semula sebaik kenderaan dihidupkan dan mula bergerak di bawah halaju lima kilometer,” katanya sambil menambah bonggol tengah di tengah lantai ruang kaki belakang juga lebih rendah sekali gus menjadikan ruang kaki penumpang belakang tidak lagi sempit.

Selain itu, sumber berkenaan berkata, paparan maklumat (SID) di ruang panel pemanduan turut di naik taraf dengan dilengkapi sistem tiga bacaan kilometer iaitu Trip A, Trip B dan Trip C selain pelbagai lagi maklumat yang akan berfungsi memberi amaran jika bateri pada kunci lemah.-BH

Vettel to stay at Red Bull until 2014

Red Bull have announced on Monday that Sebastian Vettel will continue to drive for the team until the end of the 2014 season. Last year, at just 23 years-old, Vettel became the sport’s youngest-ever world champion after scoring 10 pole positions, five victories and 256 points in the team’s RB6.

"The reason why I'll stay until 2014 with Red Bull Racing is that I feel very comfortable in the team," he told Red Bull's official website on Monday morning. "I am proud to be part of the team, and I am proud of what we have archived so far and will achieve together in the future."

The German has been supported by Red Bull since 1998 and is a graduate of the Red Bull Junior Team. After spells in Formula Three and Formula BMW, Vettel made his Formula One debut in 2007, standing in for an injured Robert Kubica at BMW Sauber, before securing a full-time Toro Rosso race seat later that season.

During his first full season with Toro Rosso in 2008 he became the sport's youngest winner with a stunning victory at the Italian Grand Prix. The following year he switched to Red Bull's 'senior' RBR team for 2009. He took four wins that year to finish second in the drivers’ championship, before taking the title in 2010.

Vettel will once again team up with Australian driver Mark Webber in Red Bull's line-up for the 2011 season.

Sebuah kereta Peugeot 504 keluaran tahun 1977 milik Presiden Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dijual pada harga AS$2.5 juta (RM7.5 juta) dalam satu lelongan antarabangsa kelmarin, kata laman web Pertubuhan Kebajikan Iran.

Sebuah syarikat yang membeli kereta itu tidak mahu identitinya didedahkan, kata kenyataan pertubuhan berkenaan selepas lelongan tersebut berlangsung di bandar Abadan, barat daya Iran.

"Klien saya membeli kereta itu kerana meminati Mahmoud yang mengamalkan pendirian yang bencikan keangkuhan dan fahaman Zionisme," kata seorang peguam Mahmoud Esari.

Beliau mewakili syarikat berkenaan untuk membeli kereta itu dalam satu majlis lelongan di Abadan kelmarin.

Pengerusi Pertubuhan Kebajikan Iran, Ahmad Esfandyari memberitahu, lebih sejuta pembida mendaftar di laman web bidaan tersebut.

Katanya, terdapat juga bidaan-bidaan yang datang dari Eropah, Asia dan Amerika Syarikat.

Which one is the best fuel for my car?

This question is the most popular question when you are first time driving your own car and in choosing a suitable petrol for your car. Basically, it is the matter of petrol RON 97 standard fuel additives in each fuel. Different fuel producer or company produce different type and efficiency of petrol. And here we are going to discuss about which one is better in terms of fuel consumption and performance of your car when using different petrol brand.

PRIMAX 3 BY PETRONAS

PRIMAX is a new generation petrol for the millennium. It was recently introduced by PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad and is designed to give maximum protection and performance for your car. It has 97 octane number, yellow in colour and available in more than 700 PETRONAS Service Stations nationwide.

Over time your engine develops unwanted deposits around the valves and combustion chamber. Eventually, this greatly reduces the efficiency and power output of your engine, resulting in significant loss of power and an increase in fuel consumption.

Comprehensive tests reveal that the unique cleaning formulation of PETRONAS PRIMAX 3 starts to work right from the first time you fill it up, ensuring that your engine is always at its most powerful.
Formulated with unique additive components, PETRONAS PRIMAX 3 efficiently protects your engine against injector fouling and corrosion, restoring your car to its peak performance to improve fuel economy.
Always on the forefront of technology, PETRONAS PRIMAX 3 comes complete with a unique additive formulation proven to cleanse and re-energise your engine. Clearly, there is nothing more important than letting you experience peak engine performance on demand.

SHELL SUPER WITH FUEL ECONOMY FORMULA

Shell Super with fuel economy formula has been designed by Shell experts to give you extra mileage.

Shell has played a leading role in the development of high quality fuels. For over 100 years, we have been supplying quality fuels, and investing in the best people and science in order to drive fuel technology forward.

Designed for extra miles at no extra cost

Shell Super with fuel economy formula is specially designed to give you extra miles at no extra cost by helping combat efficiency losses caused by deposits and friction in your engine.

It contains Shell’s Synthetic Viscous Friction Improver (SVFI), designed to help improve engine efficiency by reducing friction, together with cleaning agents, formulated to prevent the build-up of fuel system deposits.

Shell Super with fuel economy formula has been designed to reduce engine friction and prevent deposits.

You lose a significant amount of the energy available in your engine through friction and other sources. Shell’s fuels scientists have explored where these losses take place and have developed fuel formulation strategies to help improve engine combustion efficiency, creating innovative fuel technologies designed to give you extra mileage.

Shell Super with fuel economy formula has been formulated to address a number of ways the fuel and your engine work together. They have developed strategies to help maximise the amount of chemical energy in the fuel that’s converted to useful work at the wheels, driving you forward.

Designed for reduced engine friction

Frictional losses can occur wherever two moving solid surfaces come into contact with each other. In most parts of your engine, friction is minimised by using the appropriate engine lubricant.

However, the interface between the top piston ring and cylinder wall is very difficult to lubricate effectively. As a consequence this area of your engine remains vulnerable to friction losses.

Shell Super with fuel economy formula is formulated with Shell’s Synthetic Viscous Friction Improver, designed to reduce friction in this critical part of your engine, helping to improve its efficiency.

Formulated to help keep your engine clean

Combustion is most efficient when the precise amount of air and fuel are mixed together at the right time.
With some conventional fuels, deposits may form over time on the back of the inlet valves. This can lead to delays in the required fuel charge entering the engine and a poor mix of fuel and air, reducing your engine’s efficiency.

Shell Super with fuel economy formula has been formulated by Shell scientists to help prevent the build-up of these deposits, helping to maintain your engine’s efficiency.

BHPETROL INFINITI WITH FUEL BOOSTER
