CODA Automotive Taps Former GM North America Top Sales & Marketing ... - Search-Autoparts.com

Posted: 20 Jan 2010 01:17 PM PST

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- California-based manufacturer of electric car and battery systems, CODA Automotive, has hired Michael A. Jackson as senior vice president of global sales and distribution. With more than 25 years of sales and marketing experience with Fortune 500 companies, Jackson will be responsible for building CODA's innovative sales model in anticipation of a late 2010 introduction of the company's all-electric car.

"The search for an executive with the right mix of business acumen, innovative thinking and willingness to take a fresh look at the automotive sales model was a long and arduous process," said Kevin Czinger, president and CEO, CODA Automotive. "We are confident that Mike will provide the leadership necessary to make the value-for-your-money CODA a desirable choice for any American."

Recognizing the inefficiencies of the traditional automotive business model and the opportunity for reinvention, CODA will sell its vehicle directly to consumers and deliver a unique customer ownership experience.

"The opportunity to work with an innovative tech company that defies convention is truly unique," said Jackson. "I look forward to leveraging my experience and passion for the category to help make CODA's launch of the first mass produced, all-electric car in the U.S. a success."

Jackson has held sales and marketing positions at General Motors, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Coors Brewing. Prior to joining CODA, Jackson was a partner at Sarkissian Mason, and before that, was the CEO of SPEEDSHAPE. From 2000 to June of 2007, Jackson held key sales leadership positions within the ranks of GM North America, including vice president of marketing and advertising from 2006 to 2007 where he made significant changes in the way GM marketed its domestic brands, restructured the relationship between GM and its agency partners, focused GM's digital marketing efforts and led several of the most successful new product launches in GM's history (Chevy Silverado, Cadillac Escalade, and the GM 100,000 mile warranty). From 2002 to 2006, Jackson was GM's general manager for the Western U.S. region (16 states) based in Los Angeles, and from 2000 to 2002, he was the executive director of sales and marketing with responsibility for overseeing vehicle distribution and sales promotion and incentive programs for the domestic business based in Detroit.

About CODA Automotive: Headquartered in Santa Monica, Calif., CODA is working to reduce dependence on oil and leading the way to a cleaner future by building 100% electric cars and transportation battery systems. CODA is working in a smart, inter-dependent way with a number of leading global technology and manufacturing companies to quickly and efficiently bring electric drive technology to market and jump start the electric car movement. Through its exclusive transportation and electric utility storage battery joint venture with Lishen Power Battery, CODA is also a leading designer and large-scale manufacturer of power battery systems. The American engineered, globally built CODA electric car will be available to consumers in 2010.

How Tickets Affect Automotive Insurance Rates - Associated Content

Posted: 20 Jan 2010 12:20 PM PST

Many of us know that multiple traffic violations over a short period of time will cause our insurance rates to skyrocket. Yet, few of us know exactly why or how this occurs. How does the insurance company decide who to punish, so to speak, and who to let slide? When is a ticket significant enough to raise rates, and when is it small enough to forget? Does it matter whether or not the ticket was given inside of a school zone, city limits, or on a country road?

Traffic citations, and especially speeding tickets, will cause your premiums to rise the most. Insurance companies assume that if you, the driver, choose to take risks while behind the wheel, then you are likely to cause an accident, and subsequently, file a claim. In some instances, a ticket for failure to produce a valid driver's license carries as much weight as speeding tickets. At least, in the eyes of insurance agents, that is.

Getting pulled over one time does not automatically mean that you only got one ticket. In fact, there are a number of traffic violations that can occur all at the same time, and each offense can be issued a separate ticket. Not wearing your seat belt, obstructing your license plate, failing to produce an insurance verification card, operating a vehicle with faulty equipment, and carrying passengers without requiring everyone to wear their seat belt are all causes for ticketing. And while each offense does not carry the same weight between insurers, it is best to avoid getting any of them in the first place.

Automotive Electrical and Instrument Manufacturing in Australia ... - PR Inside

Posted: 20 Jan 2010 11:44 AM PST

2010-01-20 20:39:02 - Automotive Electrical and Instrument Manufacturing in Australia - Industry Risk Rating Report - a new market research report on companiesandmarkets.com

www.companiesandmarkets.com/Summary-Market-Report/automotive-ele ..

This is the replacement for the June 2009 edition of Automotive Electrical and Instrument Manufacturing in Australia Industry Risk Ratings Report. Industry Risk Ratings Synopsis This Industry Risk Ratings report evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Automotive Electrical and Instrument Manufacturing in Australia industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be ´the difficulty,

or otherwise, of the business operating environment´. The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk). This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each industry. Industries are scored on a 9-point scale, where 1 represents the lowest risk and 9 the highest. The Industry Risk score measures expected Industry Risk over the coming 12-18 months. Industry Definition Companies in this industry manufacture automotive electrical components such as air conditioners and demisters. Companies can either be specialist component manufacturers, producing components for use in new motor vehicles, or standard manufacturers, making parts for the aftermarket. Firms in this industry do not manufacture batteries. Report Contents Risk Overview The Risk Overview chapter includes sections on Industry Definition and Activities, Industry Risk Score and Risk Rating Analysis. The Industry Definition and Activities section provides a detailed definition of the activities carried out by operators in this industry as defined in NAICS. A list of the primary activities of the industry is also included. The Industry Risk Score section provides the Overall Industry Risk Score as well as the Risk Scores for each of the three types of risk covered that combine to form the Overall Industry Risk Score. These three types of risk are Structural Risk, Growth Risk and External Sensitivity Risk. The Risk Rating Analysis section discusses the underlying factors contributing to the Overall Industry Risk Score. Structural Risk The Structural Risk chapter looks at risk arising from within the industry itself and provides a detailed discussion of the industry’s level of exposure to seven key indicators. These key indicators are Barriers to Entry, Competition, Industry Exports, Industry Imports, Level of Assistance, Life Cycle Stage and Volatility of Industry. The Overall Structural Risk Score is a weighted aggregation of these seven key indicators. Each of the key indicators is discussed in detail in this section. Growth Risk The Growth Risk chapter looks at risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry. The Overall Growth Risk Score is determined by amalgamating the scores for Recent Industry Growth and Forecast Industry Growth. Detailed analysis is provided discussing the reasons for the growth scores of both. Sensitivity Risk The Sensitivity Risk chapter looks at risks arising from forces (sensitivities) external to the industry. The Overall External Sensitivity Risk Score is determined by identifying the most significant (up to 6) external factors and weighting them to represent how significant each sensitivity is to the performance of the industry. Examples of External Sensitivities are Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Commodity Prices and Government Regulations. There is also a detailed analysis of the affect each of the sensitivities has on the industry, including charts and data tables where appropriate. Industry Risk and Industry Risk Scoring Methodology This chapter provides an overview of how IBISWorld defines Industry Risk and discusses the methodology used to arrive at an Industry Risk Score. There is also a table that provides a definition of the seven levels of Industry Risk. C2813 - Automotive Electrical and Instrument Manufacturing in Australia
