Earnhardt Volkswagen Announces VW 2020 and 2021 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport Awarded Highest Safety Rating From NHTSA

GILBERT, Ariz., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Earnhardt Volkswagen is pleased to announce that two more of its vehicles have earned the coveted 5-star safety rating from the federal New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The 2020 and <a target="_blank"…

GILBERT, Ariz., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Earnhardt Volkswagen is pleased to announce that two more of its vehicles have earned the coveted 5-star safety rating from the federal New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The 2020 and 2021 Volkswagen Atlas and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport join the growing list of Volkswagens with this designation.

«Already our Golf and Jetta models have earned the same five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NCAP,» said Paul Fox, General Manager of Earnhardt Volkswagen. «It is important to the Earnhardt Volkswagen family that these two SUVs not only passed the NHTSA crash tests, but also aced them.»

Similar in size, these two midsize SUVs are slightly different in purpose. The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport seats five while the Volkswagen Atlas seats seven.

The NHTSA testing affirmed that such things as the VW safety cage, crumple zones, and airbags work as safely as possible. This was also further confirmation that VW’s exclusive feature, automatic post-crash braking, helps protect lives. Six different VW models now claim the five-star distinction, further affirming the brand’s commitment to safety.

«It is interesting to note that the five-star designation doesn’t even take into account the long list of crash avoidance features offered on a VW today,» said Christopher Kerr, Corporate Vice President of Marketing for Earnhardt Auto Centers. «The two SUVs offer lane assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and many other ways to keep you out of an accident.»

Furthermore, the testing also doesn’t recognize other important safety features. For instance, each Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport comes with standard rain-sensing windshield wipers and heated side mirrors. Plus, VW’s exclusive Intelligent Crash Response System unlocks the doors, turns on interior lights and hazard lights, and disables the engine and major electric systems.

«Frankly, whether you judge by ratings, standard equipment, or advanced technology, VW is one of the safest brands on the road,» said Fox. «It’s also a good deal when you combine a great product like the VW Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport with Earnhardt’s No Bull Express buying experience. I’d say VW is the BEST deal on the road today, no bull.»

Explore Transparency Market Research’s award-winning coverage of the Global Automotive & Transport Industry:

Rocker Arm Assembly Market – The global rocker arm assembly market is expected to expand at a sluggish CAGR of ~1% during the forecast period. The market growth is anticipated to remain sluggish due to the narrow scope of using rocker arms in other industrial sectors apart from the automotive industry. Moreover, the demand for rocker arm assembly is projected to remain steady during the forecast period due to the expanding automotive sector in developing regions, advancements in technology, and increasing focus on producing aluminum-based rocker arm.

Front-end Module Market – The COVID-19 pandemic has hurt sales of automotive vehicles. As such, the front-end module market is projected to register a modest CAGR of ~4% during the assessment period. Manufacturers are entering into joint ventures with automakers to develop region-specific versions of front-end modules. Thermoplastics offer easy-flowing properties during production but are expensive than most standard materials. Hence, manufacturers should use thermoplastics to develop highly integrated hybrid front-end modules, since these materials reduce production costs and deliver freedom in designing.

Power-sports Batteries Market – The global power-sports batteries market is anticipated to grow at a healthy CAGR of ~6% during the forecast period. The market growth is primarily driven by booming electric vehicle sector, augmenting demand for electric vehicles, increasing focus on innovations, and increasing support from the government. The rise in the number of initiatives that promote the development of power-sports batteries is expected to provide a significant boost to the production of power-sports batteries in various regions of the world. Market players should focus on launching innovative, high quality products to gain a competitive edge.

Study Confirms teenSMART Significantly Reduces Crash Frequency and Traffic Violations

ELK GROVE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When safety awareness and defensive driving programs fail to reduce teen crashes and save lives, give ADEPT Driver® a call. Today ADEPT released the study <a target="_blank"…

ELK GROVE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When safety awareness and defensive driving programs fail to reduce teen crashes and save lives, give ADEPT Driver® a call. Today ADEPT released the study Safety Benefits of teenSMART Driver Training. This study was conducted by Dunlap and Associates, Inc., a research and consulting firm that conducted the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration-sponsored evaluation of the safety benefits of the Risk Awareness and Perception Training program for novice teen drivers (RAPT study) in California in 2016.  For the teenSMART study, motor vehicle records for more than 5,000 teenSMART graduates were compared to the control group used in the RAPT study.

«The new Dunlap study shows that teenSMART graduates had an average of 28% and up to a 49% reduction in crashes over the control group,» said Dr. Richard Harkness, CEO of ADEPT Driver. «Based on the tragically high teen driver crash rates, we know young drivers need effective crash-reduction training. We invented teenSMART to address this need, and are glad that this study is consistent with multiple other studies that document teenSMART’s effectiveness at reducing teen driver crashes.»

The Dunlap study also found that the teenSMART group had 54% to 67% fewer traffic violations one year after training. This was statistically significant and another hard data indicator that ADEPT’s crash-reduction training improved teen safe driving behaviors behind the wheel. In addition, the study notes that premium reductions allowed by state insurance boards in 49 states for completion of teenSMART also suggest the insurance carriers are providing similar actuarial evidence to support the effectiveness of the program.

The study suggests that to reduce teen driver crash rates, proven crash-reduction training like teenSMART could be integrated into existing graduated driver license programs, and could be effective as part of Phase 2 Driver Education after a young driver has received a first license for unsupervised driving.

«Our programs are the science-based alternative to safety awareness and traditional safety programs that provide basic knowledge of driver safety to the public,» said Dr. Harkness.  «However, there is little or no evidence that awareness, traffic citation or defensive driving programs reduce crash frequency or severity or save lives. This should not come as a surprise as these courses do not treat the underlying causes of the crashes, or measurably improve critical skills needed to avoid a crash – most notably, visual awareness, hazard detection and risk perception. Insurance companies know this and are abandoning the awareness programs in favor of ones that show statistically significant improvement in teen driver crash avoidance skills and behaviors using hard data.»

ADEPT shared the findings of the Safety Benefits of teenSMART Driver Training study during National Teen Driver Safety Week (October 18-24, 2020), to encourage families with teen drivers to augment mandated «rules-of-the-road» training with proven crash-reduction training to ensure young drivers have the necessary skills to stay safe when behind the wheel.

FCA Enhances Online Retailing Experience

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

  • Online Retailing Experience to now be called E-Shop
  • Test drive appointments, online chats and other features to be added to E-Shop

FCA is enhancing consumer capability to buy a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, Fiat or Alfa Romeo vehicle over the internet by offering several new features to the Online Retailing Experience, which will now be known as E-Shop.

«Six months ago, we pulled ahead the launch of E-Shop to help our dealers who were attempting to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic,» U.S. Head of Sales Jeff Kommor said. «Little did we know what a powerful tool E-Shop would become. About 45 percent of FCA’s monthly sales originated from an internet lead; last year it was about 25 percent. Consumers say E-Shop gives them more transparency, while dealers say the entire process, including home delivery, allows them to create a strong bond with the shopper.»

E-Shop is a premium one-stop platform that allows customers extensive choice and the ability to complete the entire vehicle purchasing process online, including pricing information, trade-in value of the current vehicle, financial lending options, e-signature to complete final paperwork and, in most cases, scheduling home delivery. E-Shop is accessible through the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat and Alfa Romeo websites, participating dealer sites and a variety of social media applications.

Online shopping traffic across the dealer network has increased more than 65 percent since the launch of E-Shop. Customers who complete the process online are spending less time in the dealership and more time learning about the new features of their vehicles, making the purchase process more enjoyable.

«We had always envisioned E-Shop as a digital backbone onto which we could bolt new, cutting-edge elements that put the customer first,» said Marissa Hunter, Head of Marketing, FCA – North America. «Ecommerce continues to be an integral tool in our marketing suite, providing audiences the ability to experience and shop our brands from the comfort of their homes. We’re only getting started. Internal intelligence, early customer and dealer feedback, are shaping the next phase of E-Shop, giving our brands and dealer body a sophisticated online tool to drive more excitement, affinity and trust in the shopping process.»

Other features will include:

  • Online Chats – Launching today, consumers can have their questions answered in real time via online chatting
  • Test Drive Appointments – Shoppers can schedule a time to test drive a vehicle before entering a showroom, reducing the wait time for time-constrained consumers. This feature will be available by December
  • Reservations – In a service integrated with PayPal, shoppers who see a vehicle online can access their PayPal accounts to put down a refundable reservation. This feature will be available by November
  • Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles / Used Vehicle Sales – Dealers will have the opportunity to list their entire certified pre-owned vehicle and used vehicle inventories on E-Shop. This feature will be available by December

FCA and its dealers are committed to make E-Shop one of the most competitive tools in the automotive industry. New technologies, designed to improve customer convenience, will be added to E-Shop on an ongoing basis.
