IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Team Telluriders triumphantly crossed the finish line in the 2020 Telluride in the fifth annual Rebelle Rally, coming in overall second place in the X-Cross class. The powerhouse duo, made up of Alyssa Roenigk (driver) and Sabrina Howells (navigator), demonstrated their «Give it Everything» attitude, using their invaluable set of skills to make smart and calculated decisions tailored to the Telluride’s capability, ultimately allowing it to shine and finish the tough, off-road rally.

Telluriders Team celebrates victory on the Rebelle Rally podium

«This is a momentous achievement for Kia,» said Sean Yoon, president & CEO, Kia Motors North America & Kia Motors America. «Thanks to Alyssa and Sabrina’s grit in the arduous Rebelle Rally, they helped raise the Telluride’s credibility to new heights. Their huge accomplishment will go down in Kia history and we couldn’t be more proud of our team.»

From Lake Tahoe to the border of Mexico, Team Telluriders graciously handled whatever challenges the course threw at them. After facing tougher obstacles on rocky terrain at the start, Alyssa and Sabrina were keen on the Telluride’s strengths, using it to their advantage in the following days to result in several stage wins.

«Alyssa, Sabrina and the Telluride did such a great job in this year’s rally,» said Rebelle Rally founder, Emily Miller. We consider the vehicle as the third teammate, and all three handled the challenge with grace. They are an exceptional team.»

The team was able to clinch second place in the X-Cross class after excelling in the sand dunes, where the Telluride effortlessly floated over the sandy landscape to hit several checkpoints first before several competitors, taking the win for the most points scored on the final day of the competition.

«We are so proud of our overall performance and our comeback to take second in the X-Cross category at the 2020 Rebelle Rally,» said Alyssa and Sabrina. «On the final day, when we pulled up to  checkpoints deep in the Imperial Sand Dunes and saw the look on the faces of the 4×4 teams when we beat them there – that is a memory that will stick in our minds for a long time. The Telluride was an incredibly capable third teammate and we were grateful for the opportunity to take her on such an awesome adventure.»

Kia was a first-time competitor in the fifth annual Rebelle Rally, competing in the X-Cross Class with minimal modifications, including a skidplate to protect the fuel and oil pan area and all-terrain tires.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Bay-Area drivers who are in need of a vehicle to use for a weekend getaway, business purposes or to simply try before they buy can find what they need at San Francisco Toyota; the dealership best known for its selection of new Toyota models also offers Toyota rentals.

Vehicles available to rent from San Francisco Toyota include the popular and efficient Corolla, the family-friendly Camry sedan, the adventurous RAV4 crossover SUV, the spacious Sienna minivan, the brand-new Toyota Venza and more. The dealership also provides numerous hybrid variants for rent, including the Prius, with hybrids representing roughly eighty percent of their rental fleet.

All-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) versions of their SUVs are also available to rent, and it won’t cost renters any additional fee just for those drivetrains. With winter right around the corner, an AWD or 4WD vehicle might present a great opportunity for anyone who is looking to take a trip up to the snow with a vehicle better equipped to handle those slick roads.

When customers are booking their rental, they can be assured that the vehicle they have chosen is the vehicle they will get, rather than potentially being handed a similar but entirely different make and model when they arrive to pick it up. Furthermore, San Francisco Toyota has no day restrictions on rentals.

Certain requirements must be met in order to rent. The renter must be at least 21 years old and have a valid driver’s license. A valid major credit card must be presented when picking up the rental on which the rental fee will be charged. Additionally, the driver must have a current full auto insurance policy that is transferable to rentals. Drivers under age 25 will be subject to an additional fee, and anyone who intends to drive the rental must also meet these requirements.

For more information on car rentals at San Francisco Toyota, interested parties are encouraged to call 415-504-1947 or visit http://www.sftoyota.com.

NUEVA YORK, 21 October 2020

NUEVA YORK, 21 October 2020 /PRNewswire Policy/ — Los países de América Latina y el Caribe diseñaron una agenda de trabajo que busca colocar a la región en el camino hacia una agricultura sostenible y resiliente al clima, que propicie sociedades rurales prósperas y dé lugar a un sistema alimentario que garantice comida saludable para todos.

La Conferencia Regional de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO) reunió esta semana virtualmente durante dos días a todos los ministros de Agricultura latinoamericanos y caribeños, quienes coincidieron en la necesidad de una transformación profunda de los sistemas agrícolas alimentarios.

El representante regional de la FAO, Julio Berdegué, citó tres preocupaciones compartidas entre los ministros: “Debemos avanzar hacia sistemas agroalimentarios que provean alimentos saludables y nutritivos a todos y todas, transitar hacia una ruralidad próspera e inclusiva, sin pobreza y con oportunidades, y asegurar la sostenibilidad ambiental y la mitigación, adaptación y resiliencia climática”.

Y para ese propósito, subrayaron los ministros, es urgente disponer de recursos adicionales a nivel regional.

Los participantes en el evento también abordaron el problema de la mala nutrición y la inseguridad alimentaria. “No podemos seguir coexistiendo con el hambre, el sobrepeso y la desnutrición crónica infantil. No sólo porque es una injusticia sino porque no podemos darnos ese lujo”, recalcó la vicepresidenta de Ecuador, María Alejandra Muñoz.

Los ministros destacaron, asimismo, la importancia clave del comercio internacional para garantizar a la seguridad alimentaria. “La promoción de sistemas alimentarios abiertos y transparentes es fundamental para mejorar el acceso a los alimentos para las personas más vulnerables”, dijo el ministro de Agricultura de Chile, Antonio Walker.

Hambre por desigualdad, no por falta de comida

Según proyecciones de la FAO, para el 2050 habrá crecido un 50% la demanda mundial de alimentos y la región deberá haber transformado el sistema alimentario para suplir la demanda de productos inocuos, diversos y saludables.

“Nuestra región es la mayor exportadora neta de alimentos del mundo. Pero no se trata solamente de producir más, sino que debemos mejorar el comercio y ampliar el acceso a mejores mercados, en especial para la agricultura familiar, la pesca artesanal y la PYME alimentaria”, recalcó Berdegué.

Los datos de la FAO indican que en la región no hay hambre y malnutrición por falta de comida, sino por la pobreza y las desigualdades: “En esta región es demasiado barato comer mal, y es el lugar más caro para comer saludablemente”, lamentó el representante regional.

Pilar en la respuesta a la pandemia

Los conferencistas afirmaron que la agricultura debe ser uno de los pilares de la recuperación de la pandemia de COVID-19.

“El sector agropecuario está llamado a jugar un papel prioritario para superar la pandemia. Todos los países debemos establecer políticas para fortalecerlo”, apuntó el ministro de Desarrollo Agropecuario de Panamá, Augusto Valderrama.

Por su parte, Berdegué recordó que el campo no es solo alimentación. “Es también agua fresca, paisajes, biodiversidad, energía limpias y turismo”, apuntó.

Para erradicar la pobreza rural, la FAO propone una estrategia multidimensional –la Iniciativa Mano de la Mano– enfocada en los países y territorios más rezagados y con especial atención a las mujeres rurales, los agricultores familiares y los pueblos originarios y afrodescendientes.

“El programa Mano de la Mano viene a ser una respuesta proactiva para salir de la crisis estructural causada por la pandemia del COVID-19, una crisis que ha generado una reflexión sobre el estado de la agricultura en el mundo entero”, sostuvo el vicepresidente de El Salvador, Félix Ulloa.

Adaptación ambiental

“Reducir la huella ambiental y climática de la agricultura regional puede ser un motor de innovación, de nuevas inversiones, nuevos y mejores empleos, y más espacio para la agricultura familiar y las PYMES rurales”, aseguró Berdegué con respecto a otra de las prioridades planteadas por la FAO.

En el mismo tenor, el ministro de Agricultura de Uruguay, Carlos Maria Uriarte, , señaló que la región debe virar “hacia una agricultura económicamente rentable, socialmente responsable y ambientalmente regenerativa”.

Otro punto de coincidencia fue la necesidad de crear alianzas público-privadas para fortalecer y desarrollar al sector de manera sostenible.

Berdegué explicó que la FAO buscará reforzar su colaboración con la sociedad civil, la ciencia, la academia y los parlamentarios, además de que se esforzará por “cerrar el déficit de colaboración con el sector privado”.

Los datos de la FAO indican que en la región no hay hambre y malnutrición por falta de comida, sino por la pobreza y las desigualdades: “En esta región es demasiado barato comer mal, y es el lugar más caro para comer saludablemente”, lamentó el representante regional.

Pilar en la respuesta a la pandemia

Los conferencistas afirmaron que la agricultura debe ser uno de los pilares de la recuperación de la pandemia de COVID-19.

“El sector agropecuario está llamado a jugar un papel prioritario para superar la pandemia. Todos los países debemos establecer políticas para fortalecerlo”, apuntó el ministro de Desarrollo Agropecuario de Panamá, Augusto Valderrama.

Por su parte, Berdegué recordó que el campo no es solo alimentación. “Es también agua fresca, paisajes, biodiversidad, energía limpias y turismo”, apuntó.

Para erradicar la pobreza rural, la FAO propone una estrategia multidimensional –la Iniciativa Mano de la Mano– enfocada en los países y territorios más rezagados y con especial atención a las mujeres rurales, los agricultores familiares y los pueblos originarios y afrodescendientes.

“El programa Mano de la Mano viene a ser una respuesta proactiva para salir de la crisis estructural causada por la pandemia del COVID-19, una crisis que ha generado una reflexión sobre el estado de la agricultura en el mundo entero”, sostuvo el vicepresidente de El Salvador, Félix Ulloa.

Adaptación ambiental

“Reducir la huella ambiental y climática de la agricultura regional puede ser un motor de innovación, de nuevas inversiones, nuevos y mejores empleos, y más espacio para la agricultura familiar y las PYMES rurales”, aseguró Berdegué con respecto a otra de las prioridades planteadas por la FAO.

En el mismo tenor, el ministro de Agricultura de Uruguay, Carlos Maria Uriarte, , señaló que la región debe virar “hacia una agricultura económicamente rentable, socialmente responsable y ambientalmente regenerativa”.

Otro punto de coincidencia fue la necesidad de crear alianzas público-privadas para fortalecer y desarrollar al sector de manera sostenible.

Berdegué explicó que la FAO buscará reforzar su colaboración con la sociedad civil, la ciencia, la academia y los parlamentarios, además de que se esforzará por “cerrar el déficit de colaboración con el sector privado”.

DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Tyrata, Inc., a tire sensor and data management company, has raised $2.9 million in financing from global investors. Tyrata was able to raise the funds in spite of significant COVID-19 pandemic headwinds, a confirmation of the persistent market-demand for automated tread depth monitoring and the strength of Tyrata’s technology and data services offering. The funds will be used to complete customer qualification of the IntelliTread™ Drive-Over System (DOS), establish high-volume manufacturing in global markets and speed development of the Tyrata Internal Tread Sensor product line.

The IntelliTread™ Drive-Over System was developed based on the unmet need for low-cost, easy-to-deploy tread wear monitoring in both passenger and commercial vehicle fleets. DOS collects tire wear data when a vehicle drives over a speed-bump-like unit which is then linked to cloud-based data analytics to alert service and depot managers as to the actual condition of the tire tread in real time. The system automates critical safety and tire management processes that are typically costly, slow and labor-intensive, and provides daily feedback for a more efficient and safer operation.

Tyrata’s close collaboration with the world’s top tire manufacturers and fleets will enable the company to deploy and optimize the IntelliTread™ Drive-Over System (DOS) and data analytics platform with existing tire management, as well as speed development of new tire business models driving renewed competitiveness and profitably for their customers. Tyrata recently announced that the Marubeni Corporation will have rights to distribute and service Tyrata’s DOS platform in Japan and will begin introducing DOS units to its customers in the fourth quarter of 2020.

«Despite COVID’s impact on the business environment, Tyrata has been able to sustain operations and is now well-positioned to ramp up its products and services,» said Jesko von Windheim, CEO of Tyrata. «Our ability to raise funds in these difficult times further confirms the need for solutions that optimize existing operations and spark business innovation within the tire service industry.»

Tyrata is seeking additional investors to close out the current round of financing. Interested organizations may contact Luka Lojk at Luka.Lojk@Tyrata.com or +1-704-593-8418 for more information.

About Tyrata
Tyrata, Inc., is a tire sensor and data management company offering tire health solutions for fleet management, tire manufacturers and automotive service centers. The company’s IntelliTread™ technology monitors, tracks and predicts tire tread life, and is the only technology on the market that delivers direct measurements of tread depth in real-time. Sensors are linked to cloud-based data management and analytics to warn drivers, service advisors and depot managers when tires are dangerously thin. Tyrata is dedicated to improving tire safety, reducing maintenance costs and increasing profitability for its customers. For more information, visit www.tyrata.com.

Nexteer Unveils New High-Output Electric Power Steering System

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Nexteer Automotive launches High-Output Electric Power Steering (EPS) that delivers advanced safety and comfort features as well as enhanced fuel efficiency for heavy-duty (HD) trucks and light commercial vehicles (LCVs).

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Nexteer Automotive launches High-Output Electric Power Steering (EPS) that delivers advanced safety and comfort features as well as enhanced fuel efficiency for heavy-duty (HD) trucks and light commercial vehicles (LCVs).

Now with the ability to steer these vehicle types electrically, drivers of HD trucks and LCVs can benefit from savings at the gas pump and from advanced features such as lane keep assist, crosswind compensation, trailer assist and more. 

High-Output EPS increases the steering capacity of Nexteer’s industry-leading Rack-Assist EPS (REPS) system. A High-Output EPS system can steer up to 24 kilonewtons (kN) of load compared with 10-15 kN for a typical REPS system.

«With Nexteer’s High-Output EPS system, larger vehicles like heavy-duty trucks can now be steered with an electric system instead of a hydraulic one – opening the door for EPS’s advanced safety, comfort and fuel efficiency while staying true to the truck brand’s steering feel,» said Robin Milavec, Senior Vice President, Executive Board Director, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), Nexteer Automotive. «As a steering specialist and the global leader in steering technologies for trucks, we are never satisfied with the status quo, which is why we continue to push research and development activities that continuously improve our EPS offerings and benefit our OEM customers and drivers.»

With much of the HD truck and LCV market currently using hydraulic power steering (HPS) systems, High-Output EPS offers automotive OEMs an opportunity to differentiate their HD trucks and LCVs in a competitive marketplace for consumer attention and loyalty.

High-Output EPS can also be utilized on heavy electric vehicles. Steering up to 24 kN of load on a 12-volt electrical system would have been thought to be unachievable just a few years ago, but now that capability exists with High-Output EPS.

To date, Nexteer has booked three electric applications for High-Output EPS, including a full-size electric pick-up truck, an electric LCV (delivery van) and an electric autonomous Level 4 people mover (with no steering wheel).  

In addition to High-Output EPS, Nexteer offers a complete portfolio of EPS systems that can steer vehicles of all sizes. Other EPS solutions from Nexteer include REPS, Dual Pinion-Assist EPS (DPEPS), Single Pinion-Assist EPS (SPEPS), Column-Assist EPS (CEPS) and High-Availability EPS.

ABOUT NEXTEER
Nexteer Automotive (HK 1316), a global leader in intuitive motion control, is a multi-billion dollar global steering and driveline business delivering electric and hydraulic power steering systems, steering columns, driveline systems, as well as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving enabling technologies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
