2013 Ford Mondeo leaks from iPad app

The 2013 Ford Mondeo leaks The 2013 Ford Mondeo – or, more accurately, the 2013 Ford Fusion in the US – has appeared on an iPhone app ahead of a reveal at the Detroit Motor Show. It may not actually be the 2013 Ford Mondeo – it is in fact the 2013 Ford Fusion in the US – but, apart from a few subtle changes, the Fusion that’s made an appearance on a Ford iPhone app is the car Europe will get as the new Mondeo. The 2013 Fusion is due to be revealed in all its glory at the Detroit Motor Show tomorrow (9/1/12), and Ford released an iPad app that counted down the days until the Fusion was due to put in an appearance.

Hyundai increasing European production to 500,000 a year

Hyundai are upping production in Europe to 500,000 per annum There’s an awful lot of sense in car makers designing and building cars for the markets they serve locally, and it’s a route Hyundai has followed in Europe, where the majority of their sales are of European built models, not imports. With Hyundai sales still growing despite the European car market meltdown, Hyundai are increasing capacity in Europe to keep up with demand with further investment in their plant in Ízmit, Turkey. Originally, the Ízmit plant produced just 60,000 cars a year, but in 2007 that was increased to 125,000 and now it is being increased to 200,000 so the new i10 can be built there as well as the latest i20.

Honda confirms 'mobile desk chair'

HONDA has announced details for a new version of its existing Uni-Cub ‘personal mobility solution’ – essentially a powered office chair. The Uni-Cub β is a development of the initial concept that appeared in 2012 as a bizarre solution to mobility around typical office-based work environments, although it would seem that no one at Honda had considered that humans have legs for that. It uses an omni-directional driving wheel system derived from Honda’s research into humanoid robots like the well-known ASIMO, allowing it to move in any direction according to the weight shifts of its user.
