Call it FCTV. Fiat Chrysler hasentered into a collaboration withseveral music producers to inte-grate Fiat Chrysler vehicles intomusic videos performed by a va-riety of artists.The ongoing collaboration be-

tween Fiat Chrysler and NewYork and Hollywood’s top musiclabels has pushed the automak-er’s presence in official YouTubemusic videos to a record 2.5 bil-lion views and climbing, saidOlivier Francois, chief marketingofficer, FCA – Global. This sum-mer served up one of its mostsuccessful partnerships – be-tween Atlantic Records and Uni-versal Pictures – with the officialmusic video “See You Again”(Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth) aspart of the “Furious 7: OriginalMotion Picture Soundtrack.” Themusic video, which includes theDodge brand’s Dodge Chargerand Dodge Challenger, hassurged this summer to becomethe top viewed video of 2015globally, amassing more than860,500,000 views since its debutthis past April.“We want to lead, we want to

innovate – it’s our culture atFCA,” said Francois. “Music isone of the strongest ways wehave to authentically align abrand with the relevance of a mo-

ment and open up a dialoguewith Millennials. Our strengthsrest not just in the relationshipswe’ve forged with the labels, stu-dios and artists, but also in ouragility, which enables us toquickly satisfy production time-lines, and the diversity of ourFCA portfolio, which allows us toplace our vehicle line-up in amanner that is credible to theviewer and true to each brand.Reaching more than 2 billionviews is a significant feat – it’slike the viewing equivalent of 20Super Bowls.”

“See You Again” stats onYouTube:• “See You Again” is the top

viewed video of 2015 globally todate.• Top viewed Warner Music

Group video of all-time (since re-porting started) globally.• More than 2.5 billion min-

Made in Detroit, sold in Korea.Chevrolet began taking pre-or-

ders in Korea in August for theImpala, the first time the brand isintroducing a full-size sedan inthe Korean market.The Chevrolet Impala for Ko-

rea is assembled at General Mo-tors’ Detroit-Hamtramck Assem-bly plant, said GM spokesmanChad Lyons.“It is truly a Detroit-made car

that is being exported to Asia,”said Lyons. “This is soley for theSouth Korean market. I think thisan important moment forChevrolet. For the first time,we’re exporting an iconic ‘Ameri-

can’ car. Everyone, at one pointin their lives has known someonewith an Impala. Now it’s being ex-ported for the first time to Korea.The large-sized sedan is a veryimportant segment in the Koreanmarket.”GM makes cars all around the

world, Lyons said. But in thepast, models often did not crossborders. So it might be possiblesomeone in Germany to knowabout a vehicle like Opel Adam,and that model to be unknown inNorth America.Over the past few years, au-

Detroit’s need to improvemileage and reduce CO2 emis-sions presents a golden opportu-nity for the companies that canhelp OEMs lightweight their vehi-cles. Which is why Sapa, a com-pany known in this country formaking building supplies, hasopened up a tech center office inDetroit.Tom Landry, senior marketing

and public relations manager atSapa, said the company’s worldheadquarters is in Sweden andits first facility in the U.S. was

built in Portland, Ore. The com-pany specializes in extruded alu-minum and got its start heremanufacturing building supplies.But, Landry said, Sapa is

branching out in what it manu-factures and the need for OEMsto lightweight their vehicles haspresented the company with theopportunity to greatly expandthe amount of business it doeswith automakers. So the compa-ny officially opened its first De-troit office this month.It just made sense, Landry

said. Sapa was heavily involvedin the development of aluminum

parts for the Ford F-150. Andthey are working with other OEMand Tier I suppliers to developaluminum part for automobiles.“I can tell you,” Landry said at

the Sapa office opening in Birm-ingham, “that this is the time tobe in aluminum. We can provideour customers with custom met-allurgy. The company that is ableto come up with the right alu-minum alloy that our customersneed to be able to meet federalregulatory standards will pros-per.”

Sapa Opens Detroit Office, Research Site

When it comes to making sureits vehicles work in the coldestweather, Ford will test its carsanywhere, including Florida.Each year, Ford brings global

prototype vehicles and a team ofengineers to the world’s largestclimatic test facility – McKinleyClimatic Laboratory at Eglin AirForce Base in the Florida panhan-dle – to push the limits of ex-treme cold-weather testing in or-der to improve vehicle qualityand performance for customers,said Ford spokeswoman JennaScanlon.In this sophisticated, all-weath-

er facility used by the U.S. AirForce to test every aircraft in theDepartment of Defense invento-ry, Scanlon said Ford engineerscan get temperatures down aslow as minus 40 degrees Fahren-heit in a span of just 10 hours.The hot, humid climate of north-west Florida in August has no im-pact on conditions inside the lab

– making it ideal for simulatingwinter in Alaska’s Prudhoe Bayor Canada’s Yellowknife region.So when it’s the middle of a de-

velopment cycle, or the middleof summer, and there’s no accessto a natural environment whereengineers can evaluate whether avehicle is starting as robustly asit should in below-freezing tem-peratures, McKinley Climatic Laballows Ford to simulate, calibrateand validate – all under one roof.The opportunity to accommo-

date 75 global prototype vehiclesof all sizes for rigorous testing –plus house a versatile team of 54engineers and technical experts– creates efficiency in the compa-ny’s product development cyclethat helps Ford learn in just threeweeks what could take twice aslong in a smaller facility. Collect-ing multiple data sets, analyzingresults, and comparing and con-trasting enables Ford engineersto quickly implement changes

that enhance vehicle quality andultimately benefit the customer.Optimum performance in the

most extreme weather condi-tions means different things forcustomers in different parts ofthe world, Scanlon said. That’swhy Ford engineers strive to ac-count for all variables when seek-ing assurance that customerswho live and work in cold cli-mates will be able to reliably

start and run their vehicles insubzero temperatures. Specificsituations engineers test for in-clude:• In the oil fields of Alaska’s

Prudhoe Bay, Ford F-Seriestrucks are not only a mode oftransportation, but also a safetydevice for workers who need awarm cabin to retreat to on-site

(AP) DETROIT – Ford is mak-ing plans for a return to thesmall pickup truck market in theU.S. with a new version of theRanger.The company is negotiating

with the United Auto Workersabout making the truck at a fac-tory in the Detroit suburb ofWayne, Michigan, a personbriefed on the matter said Aug.26.A new small SUV that may be

called the Bronco also is underdiscussion, said the person, whoasked not to be identified be-cause the talks are part of na-tional contract negotiations andno agreement has been reached.The Wayne factory, which

Endings and beginnings cansometimes be the same thing.No sooner had employees at

Flint Engine Operations reachedone milestone – 1 million 1.4-literengines produced – than transi-tion began to production of anew global engine for the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze andVolt.Flint Engine, which opened in

2002, is in the midst of a $200-mil-lion upgrade that will see 1.4-literengine production end this weekand the new Ecotec small gas en-gine production start by year’send.“Attaining one million engines

produced is always an importantmilestone,” said Terri Burden,Flint Engine plant manager. “Butthis is particularly special be-cause it comes as we prepare tolaunch an engine that will be akey part of GM’s global engineprogram for many years tocome.”When production of the 1.4-liter

engine began in Flint in early 2011

for the current Volt, Cruze andChevrolet Sonic, the engine wasalready part of a venerable engineline that had global roots, said GMspokesman TomWickham.The all-new Ecotec small gas

engine, Wickham said, is a trueinternational effort and will bebuilt in eight engine plants in sixcountries, including Flint, pro-ducing 2.5 million engines a yearby 2017. To date, only the Volt(1.5 liter) and Cruze (1.4 liter tur-bo) have been announced as re-cipients of the Flint-built engine.“One million engines! Our Lo-

cal 599 members are proud ofthis accomplishment, as we builta superior quality 1.4-liter enginethat has been a success for ourcustomers, as was our tremen-dous 3800 engine,” said DaveAiken, UAW Local 599 chairman.“As we launch the Ecotec smallgas engine our team is ready andable to build an engine that willalso prove to be a leader in quali-ty and performance for manyyears to come.”

The launch of the Ecotec start-ed shortly after the April 2013 in-vestment announcement in theFlint plant, Wickham said.Following a similar path as

their assembly plant colleagues,Flint Engine employees – bothhourly and salaried – formed alaunch team that would spendmonths working with GM engi-neers and employees in Michi-gan, Mexico and Japan.“Flint is GM’s first engine plant

to embed its own hourly workersin the powertrain pre-productionprocess,” said Jim Stack, opera-tions launch manager at Flint En-gine.“Having Flint employees work-

ing side by side with the engi-neers and pre-production teamsallows us to streamline produc-tion processes and improveproduct quality before produc-tion begins in the plant.”At the same time, the launch

team was working on thenew engine, construction crewswere installing new equipmentand prepping the plant for thetransition that will take place thisfall.

When production of the 1.4-liter engine ended last week, thefacility will begin undergoing thecomplete installation and testingof equipment with the first pro-duction engines heading to GM’sLordstown, Ohio, assembly plantfor the Chevrolet Cruze beforethe end of the year. Volt produc-tion will begin later in 2016, Wick-ham said.Throughout the transition,

Flint Engine will continue to pro-duce the 3.6-liter engine for theChevrolet Colorado and Tra-verse, GMC Canyon and Acadiaand Buick Enclave. Employeeswho build that engine, which sur-passed one million units in 2013,are represented by UAW Local659.Flint Engine Operations cur-

rently employs a total of 856 peo-ple. In 2009 GM spent $250 tobuild 1.4L engines. In 2010, thecompany spent an additional$138.3 million to expand produc-tion, and an another $84 was in-vested in 2011.In 2012 GM announced it was

going to spend $7 million to buildnew office buildings at the site.

tomakers across the world, in-cluding GM, have been concen-trating on building global carsthat transcend borders.So being a global means offer-

ing ‘American’ vehicles like theImpala to markets outside NorthAmerica.“We are thrilled to have the

iconic flagship sedan completeChevrolet’s passenger car port-folio in Korea,” said SergioRocha, president and CEO of GMKorea. “We are confident that itsbold styling, comfort, safety,powerful performance and tech-nology will make it a leader inthe highly competitive upper-medium sedan segment.”To meet an array of customer

needs, the Impala will be offeredin Korea with two engine choic-es: a 2.5L SIDI L4 engine and a3.6L SIDI V6 engine, Rocha said.Korea-only convenience featuresinclude power folding side mir-rors, an electronic toll collectingsystem, fuel-fill cap locking, rain-sensing wipers, a unique cluster,standard navigation, a uniqueantenna, a 220V power outlet,rear audio controls and rearheated seats.In order to meet customer de-

mand and maximize the flexibili-ty of GM’s manufacturing opera-tions, this next-generationChevrolet Impala will be built forthe Korean market the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant,Lyons said.The Impala is based on GM’s

Epsilon II platform, which had itsdebut in 2002, and was originallybased on architecture first devel-oped by Opel. According to theWeb site “GM Authority” the sec-ond-generation Epsilon platform,Epsilon II, made its debut in 2008with the 2008 Opel Insigniarange. Like Epsilon I, Epsilon IIwas developed in GM’s Opel divi-sion in Rüsselsheim, Germanyand was available in regular andextended wheelbase configura-tions. Other vehicles that cur-rently use this platform are theCadillac XTS and the BuickLaCrosse.The 2016 Impala will include

Apple CarPlay capability, whichtakes the iPhone features andputs them on the vehicle’s dis-play in a smart, simple manner.This allows drivers to makecalls, send and receive messagesand listen to music right fromthe touchscreen or by voice viaSiri. Apple CarPlay supportedapps include Phone, Messages,Maps, Music and compatiblethird-party apps. A full list ofthose apps can be found at Ap-ple.com/ios/carplay.The Impala also makes strong

use of stop/start technology. Itoffers two offerings: the stan-dard 2.5L iVLC (intake valve liftcontrol) with stop/start technol-ogy and a 3.6L V6 that’s the mostpowerful naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine in the segment.The stop/start feature on the

2.5L shuts down the engine incertain driving conditions to re-duce fuel consumption.

to prevent cold-weather injuryon the job. Ford engineers con-duct idle tests at the lab – run-ning the engine week after weekas temperature fluctuates from40 degrees to minus 40 degrees,and examining the exhaust as itheats up then cools back down –to help ensure the needs of thesecustomers are met.• For those customers who

depend on their vehicles forwork commutes and to transporttheir families around town, Fordtesting at the lab ultimatelyseeks to provide them with theassurance that their vehicles aredesigned to start and run in thebitter cold. As temperatures inthe lab drop to minus 22 degrees,

Ford engineers examine thevolatility of 13 different types offuel commonly used by cus-tomers across the globe to cali-brate the cold start.When running tests at such

low temperatures inside McKin-ley Climatic Lab, Scanlon said en-gineers make changes daily tohelp ensure engine start and ve-hicle driveability, and that Fordis meeting the high quality stan-dards its customers expect.Learnings from these cold-weath-er tests helped Ford engineersperfect the 6.7-liter engine thatpowers the current F-Series Su-per Duty. Engineers found thatreplacing metallic plugs with ce-ramic gold plugs enabled the en-gine to heat up more quickly, fora more robust start.

Toledo Transmission – a GeneralMotors facility that sends nowasteto landfills and is home to Ohio’slargest rooftop solar array – is be-ing recognized by the Ohio Envi-ronmental Protection Agency forsetting a high standard of envi-ronmental stewardship.GM earned the Encouraging

Environmental Excellence (E3)Gold-level Award based on ongo-ing initiatives that reduce theplant’s carbon footprint, said GMspokesman Kevin Nadrowski.“GM is a leader in environmen-

tal stewardship,” said Ohio EPADirector Craig W. Butler. “GM’s ef-forts are conserving energy andwater, improving Ohio’s air quali-ty and, by making the plant moreefficient, benefitting the compa-ny financially. Indeed, good envi-ronmental policy is good eco-nomic policy.”The state recognized Toledo

Transmission for the followingactions:• Recycling, reusing or con-

verting to energy all waste fromdaily operations.• Meeting the U.S. EPA ENER-

GY STAR Challenge for Industryby reducing energy intensity by27 percent in three years.• Replacing 3,900 lighting fix-

tures with 3,600 energy-efficientT8 fluorescent and LED lights, us-ing motion sensors in the ware-house to further conserve ener-gy.• Using renewable landfill gas

to power 19 percent of the facili-ty’s energy needs and a 1.8Mwsolar array to provide 3 percentof its electricity.• Changing a machined parts

cleaner solution to one that per-formed at room temperature,saving water and energy.• Earning Wildlife at Work cer-

tification from the Wildlife Habi-tat Council for a habitat pro-gram that attracts a variety of an-imals and pollinators.

• Mentoring youth on waterquality and how their everydayactions impact local rivers andstreams through the GM GREENpartnership.Last year, the National Pollu-

tion Prevention Roundtable rec-ognized the plant and its 2,000-plus employees with an awardfor its track record in pollutionprevention and sustainability,Nadrowski said.“This is our community and we

believe in being good neigh-bors,” said Joe Choate, plantmanager. “Our people go to workwith a sustainability mindset,providing us with innovativeways to build transmissions withless environmental impact.”The facility manufactures six-

speed and eight-speed automatictransmissions for cars,crossover vehicles, light-dutytrucks, and SUVs.

VATICAN CITY (AP) – PopeFrancis will show his rugged sidewhen he greets the public from aspecially outfitted Jeep Wranglerduring his upcoming U.S. visit.The Vatican on Aug. 21 con-

firmed that Pope Francis will beferried about in a Jeep Wranglersimilar to the one used inEcuador in July.Fiat Chrysler, the maker of

Jeep, is not disclosing the config-uration of the popemobile, andthe Vatican said it is already inthe hands of the Secret Serviceand won’t be on view before thepope’s Sept. 22-27 U.S. visit.The Wrangler used by the

pope in Ecuador had a glass-front roof with open sidesforgreater proximity to his flockthan past popemobiles.

And, said, Sapa vice presidentof Program and Risk Manage-ment Kevin Stuban that ad-vances in technology have madeit possible for Sapa to developnew ways to manipulate alu-minum. As a result the companyhas been able to develop ways tomass produce aluminum parts ina cost-efficient manner, which iswhat is required when makingparts for automakers.“When it comes to improving

mileage, aluminum is just part ofthe solution,” Stuban said. “In thefuture, we will see aluminum‘work’ with other materials tohelp reduce the weight of motorvehicles. What has made thispossible is the development techin how we can join dissimilar ma-terials together.”In the past, Stuban said, au-

tomakers couldn’t use aluminumin conjuction with carbon fiberbecause there was no way tohave the parts work together.“That’s the key,” Landry said.

“There’s no one solution. Alu-minum can’t do it all. Carbonfiber can’t do it all. OEMs willalso use powertrains and aero-dynamics to improve mileage.”Stuban said that it’s now possi-

ble to use aluminum in place ofsteel in areas where no onethought it possible before. Sapamakes an aluminum rocker panelside sill for the Tesla car replac-ing the uni-body steel frame.“This is now possible,” Stuban

said, “because we’re able to nowplace multiple walls within therocker tubes thanks to new man-ufacturing techniques. The resultis a part stronger than previouslypossible when using stamping tocreate steel or aluminum parts.”Thus Sapa is able to take advan-

tage of strength derived from thisstructural geometry, Stuban said.Sapa, Stuban said, has tech

centers around the world. In De-troit it is opening two offices.The development office is inBirmingham. The company’s re-search office will be opening upin Troy in the next few weeks.“Our research division is

called Sapa Technology,” Stubansaid. “We will have more equip-ment there and make prototypes.I am a convert to aluminum. Istarted out on the steel side ofthings. I didn’t get into aluminumuntil I joined Sapa in 2008. Thecompany was big in makingbuilding parts out of aluminum.In 2009 we didn’t make a singlepound of automotive parts out ofaluminum. In 2015 that figure is140 million pounds. We haveabout 35 percent of the marketshare right now. We have 12 autosupplier plants, based mostly inthe Midwest. Our Ford F-150 alu-minum part is made in Pennsyl-vania. People ask me if Sapa isgoing to get into making autoparts out of other substanceslike carbon fiber. I tell them ourstrength is in aluminum extru-sion and we will remain doingthat for the foreseeable future.”

pact and C-Max gas-electric hy-brid. Ford is expected to movethose products to a lower-costfactory in Mexico in 2018, buthas yet to confirm the move.“We actively are pursuing fu-

ture vehicle alternatives to pro-duce at Michigan Assembly andwill discuss this issue with UAWleadership as part of the upcom-ing negotiations,” spokeswomanKristina Adamski said Aug. 26 ina statement.The UAW opened contract

talks with all three Detroit-areaautomakers last month. The con-tracts expire Sept. 14.In the 1990s, Americans

bought more than 1 million smallpickups every year, attracted bytheir lower prices, reasonablegas mileage and ability to haullight loads.Sales tumbled when bigger

pickups, such as the Ford F-150,caught up in fuel economy.Ford got out of the small pick-

up market in the U.S. in 2011, fol-lowed by General Motors in2012. But GM has returned to themarket, selling nearly 88,000Chevrolet Colorado and GMCCanyon models this year.Through July, small pickup

sales are up 62 per cent to morethan 211,000, according to Auto-data Corp.The smaller trucks, which are

more efficient that full-size pick-ups, could help GM and Fordmeet government fuel economyrequirements. New light vehiclesmust average 54.5 miles per gal-lon by 2025 under the standards.Ford says it’s negotiating on

a vehicle for the Wayne plantbut wouldn’t talk about futureproducts.
