Audi – diese Marke steht für Sportlichkeit, Hochwertigkeit und Progressivität. Obwohl das Ingolstädter Unternehmen immer noch eine Volkswagen-Tochter ist, ist die Audi AG ein Konzern im Konzern. Doch hinter dem Namen Audi verbirgt sich viel mehr als nur die Autos mit den vier Ringen im Kühlergrill. 2011 konnten weltweit 1,46 Millionen Audi ausgeliefert werden. Auf den wichtigsten Weltmärkten gelten die Wagen aus Ingolstadt als die besten und innovativsten der drei deutschen Premium-Marken. Aber bei Audi ist man sich auch seiner Tradition bewusst. Und dazu hat auch ein weiteres Unternehmen aus der Audi-Gruppe beigetragen.
Modern semitrailers for the most part do a good job of keeping passenger vehicles from sliding underneath them, greatly increasing the chances of surviving a crash into the back of a large truck, recent tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) show. But in crashes involving only a small portion of the truck’s rear, most trailers fail to prevent potentially deadly underride.
Earlier research showed that the minimum strength and dimensions required for underride guards are inadequate, prompting the Institute to petition the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2011 for tougher standards. The Institute also asked the agency to consider applying the standards to other types of large trucks, such as dump trucks that aren’t required to have any underride guards.

Ist das Fahrzeugangebot der Marke SsangYong auch überschaubar, so ist es dennoch interessant und in ländlichen Gebieten längst kein Geheimtipp mehr. 2011 haben die koreanischen Allradspezialisten Ernst gemacht und sind auch hierzulande nach mehreren Versuchen gestartet. Interessant dabei die Strategie der Marke, setzt sie doch auf ein stetig wachsendes Netz kleiner Händler, die in ländlichen Gebieten auf Kundensuche gehen. Und neben günstigen Preisen und robusten Fahrzeugen hat man ihnen auch noch ein starkes Garantie-Argument mit an die Hand gegeben.
In 2011 we started out as a non-profit organization in Shreveport, Louisiana. We’ve since begun dedicating ourselves to helping those in the Memphis, Tennessee, area with job preparation training and utility payment assistance. We operate a youth development program that collects school uniforms, coats and supplies for children who are in need – and that’s only the beginning.
