News From the Auto Industry

The Reynolds and Reynolds Company (NYSE:REY) stated today that it is continuing negotiations with General Motors toward a definitive agreement whereby Reynolds would become GM’s exclusive provider for dealer e-business technology.

The two companies announced that they had signed a Memorandum of Understanding on May 16, 2000.

The components that GM has begun making out of the new tailored blanks are upper floor pans for the underbodies of a number of car lines, including the Buick Park Avenue and Riviera, the Cadillac Seville and DeVille and the Oldsmobile Aurora. More than 6 million pounds of flatrolled steel probably will be required during the first year of production to make the tailored blanks, and the applications will be expanded in GM’s 2000 model-year cars by enough to double steel requirements to more than 12 million pounds annually.

From the steel industry’s perspective, the most important thing about the floor pan applications is what the floor pan application may mean for the future use of tailored steel blanks in cars, pickup trucks, sports utility vehicles and vans. Anything that makes steel more attractive as the production material for body and structural components in the higher-fuel-economy/lower emissions vehicles of the future is a “plus” for mill suppliers and those companies that furnish them with processing services.

David R. Holmes, chairman and CEO said, “Reynolds and Reynolds is striving to build an alliance that will create shareholder value and achieve a seamless retailing experience for consumers and efficiencies for GM and its dealers.”

Reynolds and Reynolds headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, is the leading provider of integrated information management solutions to the automotive retailing marketplace. The company’s services include a full range of retail and enterprise management systems, networking and support, e-business applications, Web services, learning and consulting services, customer relationship management solutions and leasing services.

Because of the new methods, steel stands to become an even more attractive material than it has been up to now for use in cars and other family vehicles in which fuel economy improvements must be achieved.

A GM source said that all of the steel for the 1999 model applications probably will be coming from Bethlehem Steel Corp., Bethlehem, Pa. An independent manufacturer of tailored blanks, Prototech Laser Welding Co., Clinton Township, Mich., is fabricating the blanks on a toll-processing basis for Bethlehem Steel, which sells them to GM.

As an outgrowth of the research and development efforts in its propellant business, Talley was a pioneer in the development of the automotive airbag. The company sold its airbag business in 1989 under a contract which allowed Talley to re-enter the automotive airbag business after April 21, 1994.

Q: Speaking of flexibility, how will GM respond if the price for fuel continues its rapid upward spiral?

Failures and Sparks

Considered a country act in their native Sweden, The Chrysler’s rootsy psychedelic reveries are shaded in eerie noir atmospheres. A mesmerizing mix of winsome pop, bonfire folk, and otherworldly hymnals, led by dual vocalists and guitarists Anders Rudström and Pelle Lindroth, joined by Nya Sampan (melodica, piano, organ) and Herman Arfwedson (acoustic & electric bass). With their debut album Failures And Sparks The Chrysler have assembled a shrine to their influences: The Everly Brothers, The Band, Simon & Garfunkel, The Velvets, and Neil Young. “Sweet music, with a touch of evil” explains The Chrysler, out of the quiet into the quieter…

Ford Motor Co. and the Chrysler Group of DaimlerChrysler AG saw sales increases of 36.3 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Part of the sales surge tied to the offer of no-interest financing, which GM, Ford and Chrysler initiated in a bid to get consumers spending again following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Q: Speaking of flexibility, how will GM respond if the price for fuel continues its rapid upward spiral?

While the no-interest financing resulted in a sales spike, it also took a deep bite out of each automaker’s profit margins. GM said it will extend the zero interest offer until early January, and other auto producers will likely follow GM’s lead.

Talley Industries is a diversified designer, manufacturer and supplier of aerospace, industrial and commercial products and services including high-reliability electronic components and stainless steel rod and bar products.

There are other hurdles such as the availability of low-sulfur fuel and a solution to the particulate-emissions problem. California standards in the proposal stage are intended to kill diesels entirely. Unfortunately, the technical solutions are very costly. Some give and take will be necessary between manufacturers and regulators for diesels to be viable.

To counteract the expected revenue shortfall, GM is setting its sights higher for cost cutting, a spokesman said.

Five new engine families will soon handle 90 percent of GM’s worldwide needs. Each architecture provides a range of piston displacements and some, such as the new Vortec I-6, can easily be built as a 4-, 5-, or 6-cylinder engine. These new engines are also engineered for various technologies to be added as needed, such as displacement-on-demand and direct fuel injection.

A: I firmly believe that diesels can be an effective means of improving efficiency. BMW and Mercedes diesel-powered luxury sedans are wonderfully quiet and well-integrated vehicles. We’ll need a high-end model like that to help regain diesel credibility in the American market.

Our manufacturing flexibility comes from new equipment capable of producing both I-6 or V-8 crankshafts, and machining cells that can be reprogrammed to quickly switch from one cylinder head to another. With our partners, Suzuki, Fuji and Isuzu, we own 24 percent of the world’s light-duty powertrain capacity; so whenever we need to move to a smaller four or a different six, it’s easy for us to tap under-utilized equipment.
