General Motors Test-Drives VOD in Philly
Seasoned Executive takes the helm of this major 75-year-old building restoration and maintenance firm.
(PRWEB) July 17, 2005 — Remco Maintenance LLC is pleased to announce Raymond G. Saleeby took the helm at the firm as its President & CEO. As a senior executive and board member at some of our countries largest, growth-oriented corporations he earned a reputation for leadership, for providing unparalleled customer service and demanding the same values of quality and pride for which Remco Maintenance has traditionally become known.
He was the CEO FirstPoint Energy, a group President at EDS and GVP at Oracle, an EVP at Stone & Webster, and a Managing Partner at AT&T Solutions. He is a Strategic Planner whose previous clients include IBM, Consolidated Edison, General Motors, IBM, Nextel, GE and hundreds of major corporations. He was featured in a magazine cover article titled “Consultants with Clout” and was awarded “Top 50 People in US Business-Honoring Leaders and Innovators Who Are Changing the Course of the Future” by New Energy Economy.
Mr. Saleeby holds an advanced license and a bachelor’s degree in Marine Engineering from SUNY Maritime College and an MBA from NYU.
Raymond is married to Catherine Saleeby. They were both born and raised in Brooklyn, New York but now live in South Orange, NJ. They have three daughters, Jennifer Smith who is married to NJ Assemblyman Bob Smith, Theresa and Jean Saleeby all living in NJ. They also have three grandchildren.
In the winter of 2003, Comcast Spotlight president Charlie Thurston and SVP Hank Oster visited GM executives at their New York regional headquarters to advocate a VOD buy in every market served by Spotlight. Thurston and Oster came with an offer they thought GM execs would find tough to refuse: GM experiments with VOD for free, and Spotlight gets a bigger share of its TV ad budgets. Moreover, the increase would be at least double-digit nationwide–not 15-20% in some markets and 2% elsewhere.
All Comcast digital customers in Philadelphia can check out GM Showcase. In its first 12 months (February 2004-February 2005), GM Showcase clocked more than 125,000 views. Gallagher estimates GM Showcase averaged more than 10,000 views per month this year. Comcast and GM did not provide details on the number of individuals that have seen GM Showcase or the segments that they viewed.

General Motors Going Green to 2010
During a presentation in Paul Springs, California, GM’s chief engineer on the fuel cell project, Mohsen Shabana has stated that the hydrogen infrastructure would not be in place by then, but technicians are already working to make sure that car production is ready by 2010.
The Sequel is purely a research vehicle of GM. The automaker has built only two units of this vehicle. To hasten the transition towards a hydrogen age, the automaker is planning to increase the test fleet to 100 vehicles and using the Chevrolet Equinox as its basis.
Saturn General Manager, Jill Lajdziak said, “The Aura Green Line is a great value among the hybrids in the mid-size car segment. With starting sticker price over $2,000 less than any mid-sized hybrid sedan and a $1,300 tax credit, it makes true hybrid fuel savings available to more people than ever before.”
Regenerative braking according to Wikipedia is system that reduces the vehicle’s speed by converting its kinetic energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy is stored for future use or fed back into a power system for use by other vehicles.
The new Sequel is able to travel 480 kilometers compared to its earlier model which can travel only 100 kilometers. The acceleration is also improved from 0 to 100km/h with time reduce from 20seconds down to 10 seconds. Top speed now stands at 145 km/h compared to the usual 100km/h.
Aura Green’s hybrid powertrain delivers 164 horsepower or 122 kW at 6400 rpm and 159 lb-ft or 215 Nm of peak torque at 5000 rpm. The concept for the Saturn’s new hybrid sedan is based on the all-new Aura midsize sedan which won the 2007 North American Car of the Year award. The Green Line features the same list of comprehensive package that earned Aura full five stars in government side-impact and frontal crash tests making it as one of the safest vehicles available. Some of the standard features included in the Aura Green are as follows: dual-stage front, side head-curtain and front seat thorax protection air bags, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, and GM’s OnStar safety and security system. The Aura Green will also be equipped with original GM parts that are renowned for quality and durability like GM shock absorbers which disperse or absorb energy and in the process prevents the uncontrollable movements of the vehicle especially when driving on uneven road surfaces.
It seems like General Motors is really serious about going green, as recently Iowa General Motors’ director of environment and energy programs Mary Beth Stanek said that the ethanol industry must strive to create higher blends of fuel. The announcement made at a biofuels forum is brought about by the desire of the automaker to increase production of flex-fuel vehicles.
