from the early 20th century on opel was a hive of innovation in 1009 its 2 seater doctors car used in the fission modular construction system. and in 1924 the 4 horse power opel nicknamed the tree frog was the 1st german car to roll off an assembly line. the olympia made its debut 1935 at the i a international motor show in berlin a plexiglass model showed off its trust like car body framework the body and the chassis comprised a single unit that was simply mounted onto a pre-assembled drive train that included the engine will. be interior was eerie featuring as it did opals patented draft free ventilation the car was equipped with front and rear vent windows there was plenty of space inside as well. kristen says the opal olympia really holds the road and can't be beat when it comes to safety here here but then the monocoque body gives the olympia a much lower center of gravity than its predecessor a whole 15 centimeters lower income a nation with the independent wheel suspension at the front and opals patented synchronised suspension and makes for great road handling but they begin w

krista says the opel olympia really holds the road and can't be beat when it comes to safety here but then. monocoque body gives the olympia a much lower center of gravity than its predecessor a whole 15 centimeters lower income a nation with the independent wheel suspension at the front and opals patented synchronised suspension and makes for a great road handling but to begin with opel drivers add the content themselves with just 24 horsepower it's only starting in 1938 could they get a 1.5 liter 4 cylinder engine with 37 horsepower that gave the car a top speed of 112 kilometers an hour making it fit for the autobahn. that was christoph finds the olympia's design a little conservative and some places he says you can already see the influence of general motors which bought opel in 1990 but at the time the integrated headlights were considered especially innovative before that they were simply mount it right here at sites parker says was that what he finds most impractical is the trunk which can only be loaded from the inside making a virtue out of necessary ople claim visit offered

and of course opel was owned by a u.s. company and of course america was behind the sanctions that europe had to adopt against russia so that's in a way not surprising in the ownership of openness change it's now a european company a french company and of course it's one that has good relations with russia and you know a lot of cooperation and therefore it's sensible that they look at the facts and not at the politics. although even the politics i think suggest we should become more active in russia and the economics is quite attractive the ruble is probably still undervalued so it's quite smart that the production facilities are being established in russia because i think the production there can be sold not only on the large an attractive russian market but also can be exported to other countries in eastern europe or central asia or asia even so it is quite at that location how likely is it this is the thin end of the wedge that we're going to start to see more big companies like this so you turn upside down slightly big

from various manufacturers focusing on their infotainment systems one of them leapt out at him the opel insignia why because it took a very respectable 5th place behind premium brands like porsche b.m.w. and mercedes which have cars in their lineup that cost twice or even 3 times as much that's reason enough to take a closer look at the opel. your. insignia is opals flagship model so it's one of the 1st they've outfitted with the latest generation infotainment systems touchscreen up to 8 inches in size is the heart of the system the premium version is the multimedia navvy pro which will get a look at. and if the game on a wall says no when it comes to an end 14 months is. them you want to be easy to use and to reach that's the case here everything is easily within reach and you can brace your hands while you're entering something done in the next issue is connectivity there is apple car play and android aren't all that well but you do need a keyboard it's not wireless yet. but you can connect your phone to the sat nav or infotainment system. they don't do that now. that. will be a. firs

brings together some iconic brands on the french side as per usual and see toin as well as germany's opel and then this few at chrysler with not only its namesake brands but also dodge and cheap and even some luxury brands alfa romeo and muscle roddie while some of these brands have struggled in the past and found it difficult to adapt to massive changes in the automotive sector together they form a strong global player. the merger creates a new number 4 in the world com market with combined sales of just under 9000000 vehicles chrysler is topped by germany's faux japan's toyota and by over an only son all selling over 10000000 vehicles per year the new company leaves behind american automaker general motors. together for at chrysler and france's p.s.a. will employ 400000 people analysts say the tie up could allow the french carmaker to break into the american market where it is not well established and could benefit from crisis position but they may face more challenges in asia where both companies are not seen a strong players and neither field tries to nor p.s.a. has a leading premium

to turn around he has managed to turn around peugeot last few years he manages the integration of opel rather swiftly if there's one manager in this sector who can tackle this merger it's carlos torres that's what i heard here today on the trading floor it's a mergers like this usually costs jobs what do we know about that. well of course this. only makes sense if the 2 companies lift the synergies that they calculate with now at the beginning of the merger colors tavares also is known as a hard nosed cost cutter and of course it's obvious that. car makers combined don't need for example all those design and engineering centers they have italy in italy alone that has 3 such development centers with ordinary workers have to go well most probably there are estimates that the big group for chrysler has 10000 employees it doesn't need. thank you. no christmas without gingerbread or no hanukkah without last week's before the jewish holiday off hanukkah also known as the festival of lights it's high season for bakeries around israel to provide the much source off the colorful donuts so it wi

very dear friends railway terminal a much bigger one the one in crimea is capital sin for opel the one that i used to arrive at has a little kid to go to the seaside didn't see a single passenger train from mainland russia for more than 5 years all i can tell you that climb means did want a cheaper way to travel to russia to see their relatives they wanted cheaper goods holidaymakers from mainland russia the ones who couldn't afford a plane ticket were desperate to get it as well well now they do have it we just saw the russian president vladimir putin inside the 1st train there it is right there to cross the railway section of the longest bridge in europe i guess we can call it a test and once the test was over the 1st passenger train bound for sebastopol departed from st petersburg just think of it it will take 40 hours for that train to reach the crimean bridge. the entire european part of russia. before it gets to the crimean peninsula but just for a moment let's go back to talking about the bridge itself for you to understand what kind of technological marvel it is how much effort

their true toughen up the measures so in this case i think the result will be just and timely and opel see it with what washington d.c. was already on really intended to do. 5 people including a mother who'd just given birth have reportedly been killed by a u.s. drone strike in afghanistan's border province of cost the missiles missiles targeted a car that was carrying 3 taliban fighters who were killed along with 2 civilians including the mother and afghan officials say the attack happened late on friday night or early saturday morning but the pentagon says the incident occurred on thursday adding it knows about the collateral damage we are aware of the allegations of civilian casualties and working with local authorities to determine the veracity of these claims afghan civilian casualties from area operations in 29 t. they've reached the highest for a decade almost 900 civilians have already been injured or killed in the year up to september 3 quarters of the casualties are from nato led coalition airstrikes that's according to the us cisterns mission in afghanistan the stop the war

what is it you are you know when i was on your i was not what all the reports have been saying that opel are being sold to people trafficker traffickers and women are being sold for sexual exploitation you denial that you we have no information as a government otherwise we do our job how come they have much more information than you they are better informed. whereas they are when the government is working closely with the international community to save the lives in the middle of the mediterranean seas where does this reports when our coast guard would just very few visitors that we have we save 1000 the flight every morning and every day where dissident boards when we try to help this immigrants and the middle of sahara desert bring their life to more stable and leave libya we have more than 800000 immigrants in libya live close to what libyans with all of the reports we've been do you know a lot we've been working a lot to save the life of immigrants we believe that we should have bitter reports and bitter understanding of problems if the international community is committed and willin

redundancies to take place in italy the french government again not want any redundancies and then opel in germany they won't want redundancies in factory closures either and that leaves organizations like vauxhall in the u.k. very much on the limb and you could i could sort foresee a situation where there could be closures of ellesmere port and in the u.k. especially if brakes it goes ahead in the format that it only proposed and if it does actually go ahead and it happens what impact do you think it's going to have on the sort of the global war car industry what if it goes ahead i think it does make the make them a bit more competitive you know it still it opens up the u.s. market for persia which is good for them but it doesn't really make any inroads into china which is obviously a market place which both persia and citron would actually want to get involved in i think the interesting part about this is that you've got 15 car brains being brought together under these 2 companies and some of those are not really sustainable on their own so organizations like most are r.t.l. for oh my
