2014 年10 月13 日，中国汽车工业协会公布的数据显示，1-9 月，汽车产销量分别为1722.59 万辆和1700.09 万辆，同比增长8.08%和7.04%，增幅环比持续回落。其中，新能源汽车产销量分别为38522 和38163 辆，同比分别增长2.9 和2.8 倍。

提高金融支持汽车产业发展的能力，首先需要推动金融改革，通过推动利率市场化，发展多层次资本市场，提高直接融资比重等方式形成结构合理的金融体系，通过提高金融配置资源的效率的方式间接推动金融支撑汽车产业发展的能力；其次，大力推动汽车金融公司的发展，主要从拓宽汽车金融公司的融资渠道、完善汽车金融基础设施、建立健全汽车金融监管法律体系和适当放宽汽车金融服务公司的业务范围等方面大力推进。

2014 年第一季度，汽车产销形势较好，保持稳定增长。据中汽协会统计，1-3 月，我国汽车产销分别完成589.2 万辆和592.2 万辆，比上年同期均增长9.2%，增速比上年同期分别下降3.6 和4 个百分点。

以先进信息通信技术的广泛渗透和深度应用为典型特征的第三次工业革命正在全球范围内孕育兴起。汽车产业是最先感受到第三次工业革命影响和冲击的代表性行业。从未来看，第三次工业革命将带来汽车产品、生产制造方式、商业模式的“三个变化”：汽车产品将更多体现轻量化：电动化、智能化特征；生产制造方式将向大规模定制生产转型，同时还可能出现分散化个性生产趋势；商业模式将越来越以数据、互联、平台为核心基础。“三个变化”相互关联、相互促进，将引发全球汽车产业竞争格局发生重大调整，实现汽车产业与其他产业的交叉融合及边界重构，并且深刻改变汽车在人类经济社会中的定位和作用，最终推动全球汽车产业发生革命性、颠覆性变化。

Automotive lighting, an indispensable component for automobiles, is vital to the safety and comfort of drivers and passengers. It includes lighting and signaling devices fitted on the exterior and interior of the vehicle. While the primary use of automotive lighting is to provide visibility to the driver, improve vehicle conspicuity, and intimate the presence and position of the vehicle to others, it has established ground in the aesthetics of a vehicle. There have been constant developments in the Global Automotive Lighting market , which deal with advances in technology, enhancement of safety, and lowering of energy consumption of the lighting units. The market is heavily reliant on the demand in the Automotive industry.

Understanding the diverse PHEV purchase behaviors among prospective new car buyers is key for designing efficient and effective policies for promoting new energy vehicle technologies. The ORNL MA3T model developed for the U.S. Department of Energy is described and used to project PHEV purchase probabilities by different consumers. MA3T disaggregates the U.S. household vehicle market into 1458 consumer segments based on region, residential area, driver type, technology attitude, home charging availability and work charging availability and is calibrated to the EIA's Annual Energy Outlook. Simulation results from MA3T are used to identify the more likely PHEV buyers and provide explanations. It is observed that consumers who have home charging, drive more frequently and live in urban area are more likely to buy a PHEV. Early adopters are projected to be more likely PHEV buyers in the early market, but the PHEV purchase probability by the late majority consumer can increase over time when PHEV gradually becomes a familiar product.

This study examined the differences in the probability of licensed drivers purchasing a new light-duty vehicle (car, pickup truck, SUV, or minivan) as a function of their age. Data analyzed were for 2007 and 2011. 

针对甲醇汽化潜热大,蒸发困难,纯甲醇发动机冷起动困难的问题,开发了一套甲醇加热器来改善甲醇汽化问题。通过PTC热敏电阻加热片给蒸发器提供热量,使蒸发器温度升高。为防止初始加热电流过大,加热用的16个热敏电阻被分成4组,依次间隔30s通电加热。冷起动时控制PTC对甲醇蒸发器加热,当蒸发器内温度达到一定值后起动发动机。试验结果表明,环境温度1℃时,加热器加热到80℃以上即可实现甲醇机的顺利起动。

以涡轮增压、涡轮复合、涡轮组合3种联合循环技术为对象,分析了各自理论循环特点并指出:涡轮增压联合循环技术实现了底循环与顶部循环的初级联合,底循环用来加强顶部循环但不对外输出功率;涡轮复合联合循环技术实现了底循环与顶部循环的有机结合,底循环除用来完善顶部循环外还参与对外输出功率并达到了较高的能量利用效率;涡轮组合循环技术实现了底循环与顶部循环的组合运行,底循环与顶部循环之间实现了模块化组合运行,使动力输出模式可按车辆的需求而变化。总结了各项技术的最新研究成果并对车用发动机联合循环技术的发展方向进行了展望。

This report discusses light-vehicle crash countermeasure profiles and functions for five target pre-crash scenario groups based on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Target pre-crash scenario groups include rear-end, lane change, opposite direction, junction crossing, and left turn across path from opposite direction (LTAP/OD) crashes involving at least one light vehicle (e.g., passenger car, van, minivan, sport utility vehicle, or light pickup truck with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less). There are 10 pre-crash scenarios in these groups to be addressed by V2V-based crash countermeasures. Kinematic equations are presented for the time-to-collision and avoidance maneuvers to identify information needs for these crash countermeasures. Information needs are translated into countermeasure functional requirements based on relevant safety applications devised in two prior research projects dealing with cooperative V2V communications and autonomous vehicle-based sensing systems. This report identifies two target pre-crash scenarios that would require new safety applications not developed in prior projects, including the LTAP/OD and opposite direction/no vehicle maneuver pre-crash scenarios.
