Leading Automakers and Technology Companies Advance Blockchain Vehicle Identities that Could Help Buyers Avoid Cars with Incorrect Mileage, Maintenance, or Damage Histories

MOBI Collaborates with BMW, Ford, and Others on Second Installment of a Vehicle Identity Standard for multi-stakeholder, interoperable mobility ecosystems of the future  

MUNICH, Germany, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — We’ve all heard about rolled-back odometers and flood-damaged vehicles touted in better condition.

MOBI Collaborates with BMW, Ford, and Others on Second Installment of a Vehicle Identity Standard for multi-stakeholder, interoperable mobility ecosystems of the future  

MUNICH, Germany, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — We’ve all heard about rolled-back odometers and flood-damaged vehicles touted in better condition. BMW, Ford, and other transportation and blockchain leaders want to slow these practices by joining forces with an ambitious nonprofit startup developing technology to better track and protect vehicles’ true identities.   

The Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative (MOBI)’s member-led Vehicle Identity (VID) II Working Group released the second installment of the industry’s vehicle identity on blockchain.

The VID II Standard leverages the VID I Standard (a vehicle birth certificate) to describe the use of VID in a variety of practical use cases. The two use cases focused on by the working group (WG) are vehicle registration and maintenance traceability. Vehicle registration on blockchain allows formerly disconnected vehicle registration systems between states and countries to connect using a secure, shared, and trusted ledger. Maintenance traceability will provide a tamper-proof history to buyers, regulators, and insurers, therefore reducing vehicle information asymmetry.

«At BMW we strive to create seamless digital solutions. The reference architecture in the VID II standard is a crucial building block in the transformation to a frictionless and trusted mobility ecosystem,» said BMW’s Andre Luckow, Head of Emerging Technologies.

Global mobility leaders, startups, and large technology companies authored the VID II Standard to progress multi-stakeholder, interoperable mobility ecosystems. MOBI’s VID II Working Group is co-chaired by BMW and Ford, with support from Accenture, AWS, AutoData Group, Bosch, Car IQ, DENSO, DMX, Hitachi America, Ltd., Honda, IBM, Kar Auction Services, Luxoft, Quantstamp, Ownum, and USAA.

«A secure digital vehicle identity sets the foundation for a fully automatic network for usage-based transportation services,» said MOBI COO and Co-Founder, Tram Vo. «We expect this network for frictionless transfer of value in the New Economy of Movement to open up trillions of dollars of new opportunities to monetize vehicles, services, data, and infrastructure.»

Additional use cases for VID include supply chain, automotive financing, electric vehicle charging, autonomous vehicle data exchange, and much more. VID II improves asset visibility, creating an anchor for additional use cases, data provenance, and autonomous economic agents.  

«Ford believes this research into vehicle identity technology could lead to better ownership experiences,» says Cynthia Flanigan, Director, Vehicle Research and Technology, Ford Research and Advanced Engineering. «We also think this technology could help simplify the purchasing process in the future.»

VID II is a building block to a future with more transparent, efficient, and safer vehicle registration and maintenance. Both the buyer and seller will have a more reliable record that can open up opportunities for increased market value for the seller and an increased sense of security for the buyer. Agencies that process vehicle records will reap the benefits of efficient processing and tracking of records.

MOBI and its members hope that the VID standards, together with other MOBI standards for blockchain applications in mobility, will reduce frictional inefficiencies, improve mobility services, and enable new business models.

About MOBI
MOBI is a nonprofit alliance of many of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers, along with many startups, NGOs, transit agencies, insurers, toll road providers, smart city leaders, and technology companies working to accelerate adoption and promote standards in blockchain, distributed ledgers, and related technologies.

MOBI is creating simple blockchain-based standards to identify vehicles, people, and businesses in order to securely exchange and monetize data, and pay for mobility services, with the goal of making transportation more efficient, affordable, greener, safer, and less congested.  MOBI itself is technology and ledger agnostic.  For additional information about joining MOBI, please reach out to Griffin Haskins (griffin@dlt.mobi) or visit www.dlt.mobi.

National Coalition of Justice Practitioners Calls on U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) to Hold Local Law Enforcement Agencies Accountable to Report Officers Who Participated in the U.S. Capitol Attack

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — After a day spent honoring the legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, today, the National Coalition of Justice Practitioners (NCJP) calls on the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) to hold law enforcement…

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — After a day spent honoring the legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, today, the National Coalition of Justice Practitioners (NCJP) calls on the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) to hold law enforcement agencies accountable for harboring officers who participated in the insurrection on January 6 at the United States Capitol or who engage in white supremacist activities.

When President Donald J. Trump urged a mob that included law enforcement officers to march to the U.S. Capitol, he stated, «you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.»  The mob clashed with United States Capitol Police (USCP) and ultimately breached the building. It prompted the suspension of a joint session of Congress assembled to confirm a free and fair presidential election.

As the pro-Trump mob made their way through the Capitol hallways, they shouted racial epithets and anti-American slogans, destroyed, and stole government property, and assaulted law enforcement officers. This melee resulted in the deaths of five American citizens. «For decades, law enforcement agencies have been aware of systemic racism and were knowledgeable about the racial bigotry in their ranks,» said Sgt. Anthony Miranda (Ret.) NYPD, Chief of Police ACS New York City Administration of Children’s Services (Ret.), National Chairperson, National Latino Officers Association (NLOA). «However, law enforcement leaders have done nothing to address the longstanding issues of inequities and inequalities in law enforcement,» continued Miranda.  

Local law enforcement officers have been further fired up and emboldened by police labor unions that supported the Trump administration and have fanned the flames of racism and encouraged hostility toward officers of color. «These domestic terrorists who stormed our nation’s capital willingly participated and encouraged an attempted coup,» said Charles Billups, a founding member of the NCJP, Retired Law Enforcement Officer, and Chairperson of the New York State Grand Council of Guardians (GCGNY). «There must be consequences for all law enforcement officers who contributed to the chaos, violence, death, and destruction on January 6,» continued Billups.

The NCJP invites all law enforcement and justice practitioners to join them to call for the USDOJ to hold law enforcement leaders accountable for shielding these criminals from prosecution.  We stand together in the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy to fight against racism, hate, and bigotry, especially among those who have taken an oath to protect and serve. We are committed to the fair administration of justice for all Americans.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL COALITION OF JUSTICE PRACTITIONERS (NCJP)

The NCJP is a national coalition of over 10,000 diverse law enforcement and justice practitioners dedicated to respecting the rule of law and order in the fair administration of justice. The NCJP is comprised of members of the National Latino Officers Association (NLOA) and 17 organizations under the umbrella of The Grand Council of Guardians (GCG), representing the NYPD Guardians, NYC Corrections Guardians, NYS Parole Guardians, NYS Court Guardians, NYC Probation Guardians, MTA Police Guardians, NYS Police Guardians, Port Authority Police/Bi-State Coalition, Nassau County Sheriff Guardians, Nassau County Police Guardians, Yonkers Guardians, and Guardians Association of New York State Troopers along with individual justice practitioners affiliated with Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP), National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice (NABCJ), National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers (NABLEO), Newark Bronze Shields, and National Organization of Retired State Troopers (NORST).  For more information, visit www.ncjp.info.

WARRENDALE, Pa., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In 2020, the International Aerospace Environmental Group (IAEG) has been engaged in a number of exciting projects focusing on technologies affected by EU REACh and investigating potential chemical and material replacement alternatives available to the aerospace industry. IAEG’s Working Group 2 (Replacement Technologies) takes the lead in this area and, in 2020, achieved several key deliverables through implementation of innovative cross-industry collaboration methods.

  • The Corrosion Inhibiting Epoxy Primers (CIEP) project conducted a technical exchange project evaluating data from seven collaborating member companies on non-chromated corrosion inhibiting primers with epoxy binders, used to provide corrosion protection to metallic substrates. As a result, the CIEP project yielded a screening specification detailing a set of product requirements available to support an initial evaluation of potential EU REACh compliant coatings. This document is designed as a guide to suppliers, helping them understand the criteria to be applied to produce EU REACh-compliant epoxy primer products for aerospace and defence by providing a quick tool to assess candidate replacements and select those which will go forward for full qualification.
  • The Bond Primer project carried out a technical exchange project where seven member companies collaborated to exchange information on key requirements for implementation of chromate-free bond primer and adhesive systems for aerospace applications. The team also compiled results for commercially available products that have already been tested by the participating companies. The team has collectively developed minimum acceptance and performance requirements for EU REACh compliant bond primer and adhesive systems.
  • The Cadmium Plating project team wrote a new ZnNi AMS plating standard which establishes requirements for applying a highly corrosion resistant zinc-nickel plating, that is a preferred cadmium alternative for fasteners and standard parts. This standard has now been approved by the SAE Aerospace Council and is published as AMS2461. The project team now is working with standards bodies seeking the standard’s adoption on part drawings for supply of EU REACh compliant standard parts.
  • The Hard Chrome Plating project team completed a screening activity looking at current supply chain products as potential alternatives to hard chrome plating. The team also has contacted suppliers offering new potential alternatives, or Upcoming Technologies, in the area of hard chrome plating. The team’s screening effort led to publication of a technical report summarizing their findings, available for review on the IAEG website.

Introducing The 2021 HENNESSEY MAMMOTH 1000 Supercharged RAM TRX Pick-Up Truck

SEALY, Texas, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) team is blasting into 2021 with an all-new high-performance pickup – the limited-edition HENNESSEY MAMMOTH 1000.

SEALY, Texas, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) team is blasting into 2021 with an all-new high-performance pickup – the limited-edition HENNESSEY MAMMOTH 1000.

The complete, turnkey, vehicle is built upon the highly acclaimed 2021 RAM 1500 TRX. That performance-tuned pickup leaves the factory with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, which is rated at 702 bhp and 650 lb-ft of torque, an 8-speed automatic and permanent 4-wheel drive. The team at Hennessey, never satisfied with stock tuning, enhances and upgrades the RAM into the MAMMOTH 1000.

The RAM 1500 TRX is exciting in stock configuration, but I’m seeking extraordinary!

The upgrades to the MAMMOTH 1000 include an upgraded supercharger, pulley upgrades, stainless-steel headers, high-flow exhaust componentry, and new HPE calibration. Power output jumps to 1,012 bhp and 969 lb-ft of torque – that’s 310 bhp and 319 lb-ft of torque more than the showroom stock TRX!

Complementing the powertrain enhancements is the MAMMOTH OFF-ROAD STAGE 1 package, complete with a 2.5-inch lift. This comprehensive package includes a custom front bumper with LED lights, 20-inch Hennessey 10-spoke wheels, 35-inch off-road tires, and a front suspension leveling kit.
