Setelah dibangkrutkan GM akan berubah menjadi perusahaan baru

Langkah yang dilakukan AS dalam berjuang menyelamatkan lapangan kerja rakyatnya ternyata cukup jitu. Bayangkan GM yang telah disuntik milyaran dollar tersebut, tetap sakit dan tak bisa berkembang. AS lalu membuat langkah drastis dengan membangkrutkannya, lalu dana baru disuntikkan. AS, Canada dan beberapa negara Eropa siap menanamkan modal atau saham pada perusahaan baru tersebut. Berarti AS rela dua kali mengucurkan uang agar rakyatnya tidak pengangguran!!!

Bagaimana kalau Timor, IPTN dan perusahaan-perusahaan strategis lainnya dilakukan hal yang sama??? Maukah kita berjuang dan berkorban demi lapangan kerja untuk rakyat???? Program bagi-bagi uang yang populis seperti BLT, BOS akan semakin terasa manfaatnya bila Indonesia juga mau bagi-bagi lapangan kerja di berbagai sektor industri; caranya dengan menciptakan lapangan kerja sebanyak-banyaknya.

Bank Century Yang Bangkrut Disuntik Pemerintah 5 Trilyun Mulai Sehat, Mengapa Mobnas Tidak?

Ingat tidak dengan kasus Bank Century yang sudah bangkrut tersebut??? Ternyata bank tersebut dimodali pemerintah sekitar 4,9 trilyun untuk menyehatkannya..... weleh-weleh... mengapa proyek mobnas tidak dilakukan hal yang sama??? bukankah kalau mobnas jadi, maka akan ada penerimaan pajak, penyediaan lapangan kerja dan lain sebagainya, sama dengan industri bank. Bukankah Indonesia sudah mempunyai ribuan bank sementara mobnas belum ada sama sekali????

Hari ini General Motors Corp. Dinyatakan Bangkrut

Perusahaan mobil terbesar Amerika (sebelumnya juga terbesar di dunia), General Motors Corp (GM)., yang baru saja merayakan ulang tahun ke-100-nya September lalu, hari ini dinyatakan bangkrut. Menurut informasi, pengumuman tentang kebangkrutan GM ini dilakukan pukul 8.00 pagi Senen, 1 Juni waktu Washington. Di Jakarta, pada 19.00 WIB. Selanjutnya akan dibentuk perusahaan baru dengan operasional yang lebih efisien.

Jerman Setuju Menyelamatkan Opel Yang Sudah Bangkrut

Jerman dikhabarkan setuju dan bersedia menyelamatkan perusahaan Opel yang sudah bangkrut. Milyaran dollar bakal dikucurkan, sama seperti AS secara patriotik membayar utang-utang perusahaan mobilnya dari kebangkrutan, walau banyak dari usaha itu tampak sia-sia.

Satau hal yang perlu dipelajari di sini adalah, alasan mereka untuk menyelamatkan perusahaan tersebut. Negara-negara tersebut tidak menyebutkan keuntungan yang didapat sebelumnya dari industri otomotiv tapi mereka menggarisbawahi, bahwa kalau industri tersebut dibiarkan bangkrut atau dibangkrutkan, maka ini akan berdampak pada jutaan pekerjaan dan ini akan membuat gelombang pengangguran. Para pengangguran ini bakal membuat krisis politik.

Nah, apa yang terjadi di Indonesia, ketika perusahaan Timor dilikuidasi??? Indonesia sebenarnya, bisa tetap mempertahankan Timor setelah masalah-maslaah hukum dipisahkan dan diminta pertanggungjawabannya. Karena dalam jangka panjang, Indonesia akan diuntungkan dengan penyediaan lapangan kerja.

Maka dukung terus proyek Mobnas... Dukung terus kebijakan penyediaan lapangan kerja. Apalagi bila dalam program mobnas Indonesia bisa menghemat devisa negara.

Avoiding motorway congestion

If you are someone who lives in the UK and regularly travel on the motorway, I can understand how frustrating it can be when you discover that there are mile long jams caused by some repair work or an accident. Even if you don't travel up and down the motorway regularly and venture on to the motor ways occasionally, you might want to check out the following sites below:

1. Frixo, a road / motorway traffic reporting site which is updated every 3 minutes via feeds from various sources.

2, My Way, a joint initiative between RAC and Expedia, which provides alternative routes to some of the UK's worst congestion hotspots.

Hero Honda Hunk prices,reviews and specifications

Hero Honda recently launched their not much awaited bike Hero Honda Hunk. Already talks about it and specially its name, Hero Honda could have used some better name. Well, Hunk is still, if you look into dictionary then it is a very manly word. This machine has almost similar power and torque to CBZ xtreme, ie. 14.2bhp at 8500 rpm and 12.8 nm at 6500 rpm. Then engine displacement is 149.2 cc . And the engine is set to have tumble flow ( I can't comment over it as do not have enough information about it).

Looking over design, the bike has over all a big look as we had with CBZ xtreme. This time grab rail is single piece ie not like CBZ xtreme which as splitted one looked really cool. One thing I noticed here that they wanted to bike to look shorter and sporty and hence you can see on back that they have kept seat little shorter though ideally should stretch a bit more, anyhow it is looking unique. What I think that there was something missing in CBZ xtreme and Hero Honda thinks that to compete with Apache RTR and new pulsar, they should work around and hence we have "Hunk".

Prices and Fuel Consumption

Fuel consumption is said to same as CBZ but with little improvement. And bike comes in two version, a kick start costing Rs. 55000 ex showroom Delhi and Rs. 57000 for Electric start ex-showroom Cochin. Price is all standard.

What Indianroadies thought of HeroHonda Hunk

These are the reviews from our own experience. Riding the Hunk upto the second service is good. That means that with in the short period of time the engine becomes unstable.Actually this bike is not very much stable. When you ride this bike you will surely experience those mistakes. But the company is telling that there is no sound from the bike and also there is no unstableness in the bike. Only advantage that we see in this bike is This from the great company Hero Honda.

China Minati Esemka Digdaya

Mobil nasional buatan siswa SMK yakni Esemka ternyata mendapat respons yang sangat baik. Tidak hanya dari dalam negeri tapi juga dari luar negeri.

Bahkan salah satu varian Esemka yang bermodel double cabin yakni Digdaya ternyata sudah diminati oleh China.

Hal tersebut diungkapkan oleh Direktur Pembinaan SMK Depdiknas Joko Sutrisno ketika berbincang dengan detikOto akhir pekan lalu.

"Rekan kerja kita dari China sudah menyatakan berminat dengan Esemka Digdaya," papar Joko.

Ketertarikan itu menurut Joko dirasa wajar, karena selain memiliki model yang cukup menawan, harga yang ditawarkan untuk Esemka digjaya pun cukup menggiurkan.

Sebab, bila varian sejenis yang di jual oleh pabrikan besar rata-rata mematok harga yang cukup mahal yakni lebih dari Rp 250 juta untuk varian double cabin mereka, tidak begitu dengan Esemka Digdaya.

Karena Joko memproyeksi harga Esemka Digdaya ini hanyalah berkisar di angka Rp 100-110 juta. "Lebih murah dibandingkan varian sejenis dari merek luar kan," ujarnya membandingkan.

SBY Senyum-senyum Lihat Esemka

Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) akhirnya menyempatkan diri untuk melihat mobil nasional Esemka. SBY tampak sumringah melihat mobil Esemka.

Mobil-mobil Esemka dipamerkan dalam acara peringatan Hardiknas 2009 di Sasana Budaya Ganesha, Bandung, Selasa (26/5/2009).

Dalam pantauan detikOto, SBY menunjukkan rasa bangganya, SBY pun sempat senyum-senyum melihat mobil Esemka.

Anak cucu Romusha dan Jugun Iunfu Beri Makan Anak-anak Nippon

Indonesia sekarang ini adalah anak cucu dari korban-korban perjajahan Jepang sebelum kemerdekaan dulu. Nenek moyang kita, ABG-ABG nya diperkosa dan bahkan ditelanjangi di depan keluarga sebagai pemuas nafsu paara penjajah Dai Nippon Jepang.

Beberapa puluh tahu berikutnya, Indonesia kembali dijajah secara ekonomi. Indonesia bahkan menjadi penyumpang pasar dan uang terbesar kepada produk-produk mobil Jepang yang membuat para cucu Nippon tersebut menjadi bangsa dengan GDP paling tinggi di dunia.

The history repeat itself. Sejarah terulang kembali. Ayo dukung program mobil naskional, ayo dukung ESEMKA, bukan untuk benci atau balas dendam terhadap Jepang, tapi karena kita janan mau terulang sejarah, di mana anak cucu kita jadi miskin dan kelaparan karena GDP yang jeblok. Karena tidak ada yang bisa mereka jual.

Honda Jazz Vs Skoda Fabia Vs Hyundai i20

The buzz about Honda Jazz is doing the rounds for quite sometime and Zigwheels has been giving you an exclusive coverage of the same-from preview, to eye popping slideshow to the launch date to competition check. However, when it comes to any automobile, pricing is also one of the major factor. The car which is launching on June 10, will have a price tag of Rs 7 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). This makes the Jazz the most expensive car to be produced in India, leaving behind Hyundai i20 and Skoda Fabia. Skoda's Fabia is the most-expensive compact car at present, with a price tag of Rs 4.9 lakh on the petrol version and Rs 5.8 lakh on diesel. The company manages to sell only a few hundred units monthly. The Fabia is closely followed in pricing by the Hyundai i20.
The Jazz, to be competed against Skoda Fabia, Tata Indigo, Ford Fussion, Maruti D'Zire and the soon to be launched Ritz, would come with a 1.2-liter engine made specifically for the Indian market to deliver high fuel efficiency.The Honda Jazz is said to be more spacious than other premium hatchbacks, and has safety features like ABS, Honda's G-CON technology, and airbags.The Jazz will be Honda's first product in the big-volume compact car segment, and is expected to witness modest sales, considering the price-sensitive nature of Indian market.
The Jazz would share the platform and many components with Honda City, making it easier for Honda to source the inputs in bulk at competitive prices and keep localisation at over 70 per cent to start with. The City sedan costs Rs 7.8-9 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and sells around 4500-5000 cars in a month.

Ayo desain ulang bodi Kancil sehingga marketable

Duh riwayatmu kini kancil. Hilang ditelan berita.

Bagi produsen kancil disarankan untuk mendisain ulang bodi kancil dan interiornya sehingga market-able. User angkutan umum dan pribadi harus sama-sama digarap sehingga memberi margin yang besar kepada kelangsungan perusahaan.

Ada baiknya juga untuk mempromosi produk ini ke pelosok-pelosok daerah dan wilayah-wilayah perkotaan yang sempit dan bergang-gang. Kalau bisa beri intensif kepada setiap ketua RT/RW untuk memiliki mobil Kancil yang telah didesain ulang dan marketbale untuk memancing warganya membeli produk ini.
