Tokyo’s Terra Motors decided the world’s first mass production of Electric 3-wheelers in Asia

Leave a comment

Terra Motors decided the world’s first mass production of Electric 3-wheelers which can be charged by AC power. Terra Motors’ prototype is completed this April, and they plan to produce 10,000 sets of electric 3-wheelers in 2013.

In Asian countries, 3-wheeler market has expanded rapidly, because it is cheap and freight is large, compare to cars. For example, in India, the number of three-wheelers is increasing twice by these five-years. And the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh also shows the same transition.

It is thought that electric-ization of the three-wheel taxi in Asia progresses rapidly, because of aggravation of air pollution, the high price and constant shortage of gasoline. For example, in India, gasoline cost has increased also 2.5 times by these ten-years, so the demand to the cut in fuel consumption by electric-izing is serious. By replacing a three-wheel taxi to electric one, the annual income of taxi driver can be raised by about 3 times.

They plan to establish branch office in India in this summer, and aim at world top share acquisition in 2014.

Leave a comment

Always at the forefront of timepiece technology TAG Heuer is also a major player in developing sporting success in the motorsport world.

Not only do the company support upcoming cart drivers through their ‘Junior Ambassador’ scheme, but they also support the likes of the Red Bull Racing team, home of reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel and his team mate Mark Webber. With the growing interest in motorsport in Asia, the group has now issued a special watch to commemorate the inauguration of the Indian GP in New Delhi.

The race is not the first involvement in motor racing for the Sub-continent. Force India entered the Formula One contest in the 2008 season and currently compete with two cars with the lead being taken by German born driver Adrian Sutil. The team currently lies in sixth place in the Constructors Championship.

The watch launched by TAG Heuer in support of the Indian GP also marks 150 years of involvement in high speed racing by the luxury watch manufacturer. The TAG HeuerCarrera Tachymeter Chronograph forms the basis of the special edition.

The special edition will be limited to just 200 numbered pieces world-wide. The limited edition has been adorned with the logo of ‘Mastering Speed for 150 Years’ and features striking India colours – Saffron and Green.

The special ‘Mastering Speed for 150 Years’ logo has been placed on the dial at the 9 ’o clock and also features on the Sapphire Crystal case back. Both the chronograph and the stitching on the leather strap are adorned with traditional Indian saffron colours.

Taking its name from a south-American road race, the Carrera models are designed for drivers and feature an easy to read dial, important when you are driving at F1 or Rally driving speeds. From F1 timekeeping to Le Mans and Indy 500, the company has longstanding partnerships with the greatest events and drivers in the world of timekeeping.

Diamond Jewellery Market Growth in East

Leave a comment

05 July 2011 – /RTPR/– Recent figures suggest that the market for diamond jewellery in the near future is expected to be driven by increased growth in India, China and the Gulf.

These emerging Eastern markets have demonstrated significant growth in the past few years, with diamonds proving increasingly popular as both a luxury item and a long-term investment.

By 2015, it is predicted that India, China and the Gulf will equal or surpass the market share of the US, which currently stands at 35 to 40 per cent. In 2010, India and China were already up 31 and 25 per cent respectively.

However, with worldwide reserves of diamonds at an all-time low, this new growth in Eastern countries means the balance between supply and demand is set to become more mismatched than ever; forecasts warn that demand is likely to outpace lower levels of diamond supply for many years to come.

With diamonds only getting rarer, it’s likely that the value of diamonds will continue to ascend on a global scale in the same way that gold and silver prices have already, increasing the natural treasure’s worth in the long term.

Although diamond prices have already begun to reflect the imbalance between supply and demand, the view that diamonds are an ‘investment vehicle’ that has the potential to grow – or at least remain the same – means customers are continuing to buy.

When compared to the inflated prices of gold, diamonds also – for the time being – pose a more affordable alternative in an unsteady economy.

It is yet to be seen how the rising value of diamonds will affect the production and/or prices of popular jewellery brands, popular in both the East and West, which feature diamond-encrusted pieces in their collections. For now, however, fans of Pandora jewellery and the like need not worry.

Visit the Jewel Hut, one of the UK’s leading jewellery websites, today to view an extensive collection of diamond jewellery.
