Indonesia Ditipu Jepang: Kijang Innova Akan Dipasok dari India?

Dari semua produk line up PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM), Kijang, Avanza, Rush, dan Fortuner yang diproduksi di Indonesia. Bahkan Kijang dikenal sebagai mobil kebanggan keluarga Indonesia, ketika pertama kali di release pada 1977 masih berupa pikap dan kini menjadi multi purpose vehicle (MPV) berkelas, konon tidak lagi diproduksi di dalam negeri. Malah akan diimpor dari luar.

Hal itu mungkin saja, mengingat adanya perjanjian perdagangan bebas (free trade area/FTA) antara negara di kawasan Asean dengan India yang telah ditandatangani 13 Agustus 2009 lalu. Isinya, di antaranya adanya penurunan tarif impor produk (impor duty) untuk beberapa produk hingga nol persen berlaku antara 2013 hingga 2016. Salah satunya, otomotif.

Imbasnya, mulai tumbuh wacana kemungkinan Kijang Innova akan dipasok dari India untuk pasar Indonesia. Hal ini diutarakan Wakil Presiden Direktur TAM Shinji Fujii saat bincang-bincangnya bersama KOMPAS.com, akhir pekan lalu. "Ini baru kemungkinan. Tapi kami akan berjuang mati-matian karena Kijang Innova merupakan produk kami dan asli dari Indonesia bukan dari negara lain," ujarnya.

Shinji menjelaskan, FTA akan menciptakan akses yang mudah untuk masuk atau keluarnya barang dari kedua belah pihak. Perhitungan ongkos produksi akan dihitung oleh prinsipal, dan melihat mana yang lebih ekonomis.

Saat ini, pihak Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt Ltd--semacam TAM di Indonesia--telah memproduksi Fortuner dan Innova untuk dipasarkan di India. Produksinya untuk midsize MVP ini menggunakan komponen lokal (dari India) hingga 90 persen.

Saat FTA kedua negara sudah efektif, lanjut Shinji, ada kemungkinan India akan mengimpor kendaraan berukuran mini yang memang direncanakan bakal diproduksi di Negeri Sari ini. Nah, mobil ini juga rencananya akan memperoleh pasokan unit dapurpacunya dari Indonesia.

"Mungkin saja, karena sudah tidak ada lagi hambatan pajak maka kita bisa impor mesin ke sana, dan kita mengimpor mobil mini itu ke sini, possibility yes. Tapi belum ada kepastian." lanjutnya.

Terkait kinerja ekspor Toyota, Shinji memprediksi, pengiriman mobil Toyota ke luar Indonesia tak akan terpengaruh menyusul adanya kesepakatan FTA Asean-India. Pasalnya, India bukan merupakan negara tujuan ekspor Toyota Indonesia.

Saat ini, sejumlah produk Toyota diekspor secara utuh (completely built up/CBU) ke beberapa negara seperti Thailand, Brunei, dan Timur Tengah sekitar 2.000 unit per bulan. Sementara untuk ekspor dalam bentuk terurai (completely knock down/CKD) ke beberapa negara antara lain Vietnam dan Filipina dengan total sekitar 4.000 unit per bulan. Produk yang menjadi andalan eskpor Toyota Indonesia adalah Innova, Fortuner, dan Avanza.

Force India finished in 2nd place in the Belgium Grand prix





Force India's Giancarlo Fisichella finished in second position in Belgium Grand prix. Kimi Raikkonen became the sixth different victor in six races after putting Ferrari back in the winners’ circle for the first time in 2009, with a finely judged success in Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix, in which his KERS system played a crucial role in the opening stages. Giancarlo Fisichella has finished a nail-biting Belgian Grand Prix in second position - just one second from first place - marking the Force India Formula One Team’s first-ever World Championship points. The eight points now bring Force India to ninth position in the constructors’ championship and Giancarlo to 14th in the drivers’.

At first Giancarlo Fisichella was in the first pole position and he was very much confident about his driving also. But suddenly the Ferrari much more intelligent and smart driver came into action and won the first place and became the winner.

But even if Ferrari had won the first place, the Force India team and Giancarlo Fisichella had made their own identity in the Formula 1 races. The Force India owner Vijay Mallya was very much happy about what happened today. But he was dogged all the way to the flag by a gallant Giancarlo Fisichella in the Force India, who kept him honest throughout on the first medium downforce circuit of the season. Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel drove strongly to third.


Anyway congrats Force India, and every Indian should be proud of what they had done today.

Yes........ Proud to be an Indian

New Maruti Suzuki Estilo reviews,pictures,stills and specifications



Yesterday Maruti launched all new Estilo. If you are wondering why they dropped Zen from this car's name then we got an explainanation on this . Estilo has got Wagon R's engine and chassis and Suzuki MR Wagon's shape.So there is a need to put Zen and estilo the new name.

Zen Estilo has the same engine (1061cc, 64.8ps, 84Nm, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, MPFI F10D Petrol) under the hood that is found in Maruti Wagon R. Absolutely nothing has been changed except for the fact that this engine is much refined and is slightly better at responsiveness and fuel economy. This simply translate into 'Zen Estilo is a bit faster and more fuel economic than Wagon R'. Due to highly good drivability, driving in city would be more fun with Zen Estilo. Electronic Power Steering (not available in LX version) really helps in crowded traffic. Owning and maintaining Zen Estilo won't be a problem, engine is proven reliable and virtually maintenance-proof.
Wheelbase is 25mm larger (2360mm) than old Zen which is adequate but not very good, it could have still been a bit larger. Car is taller by approx. 200mm (1595mm) than old Zen and shorter by 65mm than Wagon R, a good move in terms of headroom. Space inside is enough and is utilized better. Dash-board gives contemporary feel, especially VXi version with dual-tone interiors. Seats are mounted high and are overall comfortable enough. Air-conditioning is simply fantastic.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and dual airbags for driver are provided as optional equipment in VXi variant. Keyless entry system, front/rear power-windows system, rear defogger are additional and necessary features in VXi. Alloy wheels, music system are missing.

Pricing

Maruti Zen Estilo LX BSIII Rs 311,892

Maruti Zen Estilo LXI BSIII Rs 339,892

Maruti Zen Estilo VXI BSIII Rs 365,892

Maruti Zen Estilo VXI BSIII W/ ABS Rs 394,892

New Chevy Car 230 mpg EREV

Yesterday GM shocked the automotive world by announcing that their upcoming electric-drive new Chevy car named Chevrolet Volt will gain an EPA city mileage rating of 230 mpg. It's an astounding claim - one that would make the new Chevy car more than four times as efficient as Toyota Prius. And yet, even the federal government says it can't back up GM's math.

New Chevy Car
New Chevy Car
New Chevy Car
The new Chevy car is one of several so-called Extended-Range Electric Vehicles, or EREVs, in development. An EREV functions as an electric car until its batteries are depleted to a certain level; then it starts a small gasoline engine. That engine, however, doesn't drive the wheels - it merely acts as a generator to recharge the batteries. Chevrolet Volt, GM says, can travel about 40 miles at any speed before its onboard generator kicks in.

That number is significant, because Department of Transportation figures show that most Americans drive less than 40 miles per day. For most of us, owning the new Chevy car could mean rarely ever using gasoline.

New Buicks Comes with New Style and Technology

There was a time when Buick associated with something like your old man's car. Something an old-fashioned doctor might have. What's old is new again, and new Buicks will easily lure in new blood with this Buick LaCrosse.

New Buicks

The new Buicks LaCrosse 2010 is a dramatic departure in both style and technology. It may not be a sports sedan, but it's a very competent sedan that's out to change our perception of Buick from something old daddy owned, to something you yourself might want to own. At the Detroit auto show we lauded the global approach to styling and design. Having been jointly developed by GM in China, Europe and North America, the Buick Lacrosse is attractive. The car feels and looks classy enough to be a Cadillac. The two-tone interior is pleasantly sculpted. The steering has a good balance of feel, weighting and precision. The driver's controls give excellent feedback, making the Buick Lacrosse enjoyable to bend into a corner.

Pemesanan Mobil Di Agustus Melonjak Hingga 300 Persen

Seperti sudah diprediksi sebelumnya, penjualan mobil pada Agustus ini berpotensi mencapai angka tertinggi sepanjang tahun. Bagaimana tidak, hal ini terlihat dari pemesanan kendaraan yang terus mengalir ke agen tunggal pemegang merek (ATPM).

Simak saja seperti yang dialami PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM), hingga minggu terakhir bulan kedelapan tahun ini terus mengalami lonjakan permintaan. Rata-rata surat pemesanan kendaraan (SPK) mengalami peningkatan hingga 20-30 persen dibandingkan bulan sebelumnya.

"Memang luar biasa peningkatannya, bahkan kami khawatir bagaimana kinerja produksi untuk memenuhi lonjakan ini. Bayangkan, Camry saja SPK-nya meningkat hingga 300 persen, pergerakan mulai dirasa pada minggu terakhir Juli. Jadi biasanya cuma 120 per bulan, sekarang 300-an pada Agustus ini," papar Direktur Pemasaran TAM Joko Trisanyoto di Jakarta, Senin (24/8).

Di Toyota, lonjakan permintaan lain juga terasa di beberapa tipe lainnya. Misalnya, Avanza, Innova, Rush, dan Yaris.

Mengacu data Gabungan Industri Kendaraan Bermotor Indonesia (Gaikindo), pada Juli 2009 penjualan wholesales ATPM tercatat sebanyak 17.755 unit. Dengan kondisi yang berkembang, TAM optimis target menembus 18.000 unit pada bulan ini bakal terwujud.

"Pasar akan sedikit menurun pada September karena libur lebaran, jadi banyak hari tak efektif untuk jualan. Tapi, Oktober hingga akhir tahun permintaan akan kembali meningkat lagi," yakinnya.
