Melbourne to host 2016 ITS World Congress

Intelligent Transport Systems Congress to attract 5000 delegates

A five-day trade exhibition and conference in Melbourne will bring together experts on advanced transport technology from all over the world. To be held during October 2016 at Melbourne's Convention and Exhibition Centre ('Jeff's Shed', as the locals know it), the event will generate $23.5 million in revenue for the state of Victoria.

The ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) World Congress will draw in as many as 5000 delegates, all experts in the fields of communication, data processing and electronic technologies for in-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and mode-to-mode systems. Principally these leading-edge technological developments are aimed at increasing transport safety and mobility, sustainable travel, reduced congestion, and improved efficiency for all modes of transport.

“Hosting the Congress here in Melbourne would provide an opportunity to showcase the latest technical developments to a global audience, with delegates including private corporations, public agencies and academic institutions involved in the research, design and implementation of new technologies across all modes of transport,” said Victorian Minister for Tourism and Major Events, Louise Asher, as quoted in a press release.

In another press release Brian Negus, President of ITS Australia, expressed his delight at the news from Tokyo last week that ITS had settled on Melbourne to be the host venue for the 23rd ITS World Congress.

"We are particularly pleased with the support shown by our ITS Asia Pacific region colleagues who assessed the World Congress bids and selected Australia at the ITS Asia Pacific World Congress Board Meeting in April 2012," he said.

'ITS — Enhancing liveable cities and communities' will be the theme for the event, says Negus.

"Australia is at the forefront of development and deployment of ITS technologies in many fields," said Former ITS Australia President Dr Norm Pidgeon, who will chair the organising committee for the 2016 World Congress. "That we export our products and ideas to international customers, and that we continue to implement state of the art systems across Australia proves the strength of our ITS industry.

"Our industry resources will collaborate with our international peers to produce a strong World Congress program to help move the industry forward globally. Transport safety, reducing congestion and the environmental impact of our networks are all greatly improved by effective ITS delivery.

"We expect that by 2016, these themes will be even more pressing in our busy cities and communities. This World Congress will be Australia's opportunity to foster further international cooperation in unleashing the power of ITS," said Norm Pidgeon.

Before the Melbourne event falls due, ITS will hold annual World Congress events in Vienna this year, followed by Tokyo next year, Detroit in 2014 and Bordeaux in 2015.  ITS Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that numbers suppliers, government bodies, academics and transport businesses among its members. The think tank convenes summits and conferences, provides a medium for dialogue to take place between transport modes and government, while promoting transport-related R&D and the export of Australian technology.

With the automotive industry increasingly focused on the benefits of car-to-car communications and the integration of personal transport with civil engineering, as exemplified in Nissan's Tokyo Motor Show exhibit last year, the efforts of organisations such as the ITS will be of increasing benefit in years to come.

Rendered: BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

Bavarian car games maker set to broaden its compact line-up with a rakish 4 Series Gran Coupe derivative of its 3 Series sedan

BMW’s 6 Series Gran Coupe is clear evidence of the Bavarian carmaker’s objective of matching Mercedes-Benz and Audi blow for blow, and now here’s further proof – the 4 Series Gran Coupe.

These com-gen images from Carparazzi provide an indication of how the Audi A5 Sportback-rivalling four-door could look when it launches internationally in 2015.

Its arrival will beef up the 4 Series range, which will initially comprise a 3 Series Coupe-replacing two-door, codenamed F32 and captured recently in these spy pics.

The 4 Series Gran Coupe is codenamed F35, and a company insider was quoted by BMW Blog as saying it will be a “very sexy looking four door Gran Coupe model which will bring the sleek sportiness, premium image and ambience of the 6 Series Gran Coupe to the premium entry sports segment.”

Going on the accompanying rendering, it appears the stylists are on the right track, with the Gran Coupe’s tapered roofline improving on the profile of the existing F30 3 Series.

Classic BMW cues such as the scalloped flanks and Hofmeister kick in the C-pillar are all there, but the nose has been sharpened up vis-à-vis the 3 Series sedan, and the car clearly has a more premium look about it.

Whether it’s a more stylish proposition than the svelte A5 Sportback remains to be seen, but it’s reasonable to expect the 4 Series Gran Coupe will be an involving drive, based on our first taste of the F30 3 Series.

BMW M135i a certainty for Australia

But Aussies will only get the five-door model, with the three-door ruled out for local market
discount new car games  » Get the best price on a new BMW

September is shaping up to be a very busy month for BMW in Australia. Roughly two months after the company's July production schedule — and one month ahead of AIMS in Sydney — a full load of new and revised models will reach Australia, including the appealing M135i revealed earlier this year in Geneva. But there's a hitch. The body style chosen for Australia will be the five-door hatch, not the three-door.

Scott Croaker, Product Communications Manager for BMW Australia, told motoring.com.au yesterday that there's simply not enough market demand for a three-door car at the sort of price BMW is expected to ask for the M135i.

"It will be coming out in five-door hatch [form]... the three-door hatch... is not a car under consideration for the Australian market. It's not a car that enjoys a great deal of attention or sales."

Developing an engine output of 235kW/450Nm from its TwinPower straight six, the M135i comes with a six-speed manual transmission and can reach 100km/h from a standing start in 4.9 seconds, according to the manufacturer. An eight-speed automatic transmission is available as an option and this variant will return fuel consumption and CO2 figures of 7.5L/100km and 175g/km, respectively.

Other cars that are being introduced from July production are the xDrive (all-wheel drive) 1 Series variants and the entry-level 114i. Neither the base-grade 1 Series nor the xDrive models will make it here, Croaker says. In the case of the all-paw 1 Series variants, they're only built in left-hand drive, he explained. This is also true of 3 Series xDrive models that will be available overseas.

Among the other vehicles BMW will introduce from July production is the 320i EfficientDynamics Edition, which won't be coming here. According to Croaker it's a very lean-running version of the petrol model designed specifically for certain markets. The BMW exec was uncertain of which markets will take it, but the US would seem likely to be one, given the prompting from California for lower emissions vehicles.

"Because we don't have as stringent... emissions standards in Australia it's not really relevant for our market, so it's not a vehicle we need to look at bringing in," Croaker explained.

Another car categorically ruled out for Australia is the entry-level 316i. And surprisingly, so too is the F30 version of the 330d.

"At this stage, [it's] not in consideration for the Australian market," Croaker said of the 330d, which remains powered by an inline six. "We've previously had the 330d and we've got it in the current coupe/convertible, but we're not considering it for the new 3 Series..."

From July production, BMW will introduce to the 3 Series range an M Sport Package featuring M Aerodynamics Package with BMW Individual options. Examples of these options include branded door sills and footrest, high-gloss chrome exhaust tailpipes and a special instrument cluster. As additional options, buyers can specify the M Sports braking package and a choice of 18 or 19-inch alloy wheels. Croaker says that this will definitely be available to Australian consumers, but not those buying a 318d.

"First-build cars will be arriving September; that does exclude the 318d though..."

The 5 Series comes in for a minor update from July production also. A Bang & Olufsen 1200-Watt surround-sound audio system and a new multifunction instrument display will be available as options and contactless boot opening will be introduced as standard. The multifunction instrument display option relies on what BMW refers to as ' Enhanced Black Panel' technology to change with different drive modes.

"Essentially, what that means is it's going to be available as an option across the range of the 5 Series," explained Croaker, "but with the Drive Experience Control — when you change between Eco, Normal and Sport — the configuration of the instrument cluster will change to reflect the drive program that you've selected."

While the 550i Gran Turismo will be upgraded with a 30kW and 50Nm boost from July production, that model was dropped from BMW's Australian range late last year, according to Croaker.

"We found that obviously customers in that end of the segment were... going more for the 7 Series than the GT, so it... really wasn't relevant to our market."

However the 5 Series GT range will be expanded with the introduction of a new 520d variant. Powered by the TwinPower 2.0-litre diesel, the 520d will reach 100km/h in 8.9 seconds, thanks to the output of 135kW/380Nm. The car's respective fuel consumption and CO2 figures are 5.3L/100km and 139g/km.

In Europe the 530d Gran Turismo will migrate to a new, Euro 6-compliant engine from July, but we won't see it in Australia.

"The 530d with the Blue Performance technology, which gives it Euro 6 emissions compliance... won't be included in our 5 Series GT lineup. We'll still have the 530d, but not the 530d with the Blue technology."

Across the Aussie range the 5 Series GT will score electro-mechanical steering, auto-stop/start, Active Protection Safety Package and Driving Experience Control with ECO PRO. Another feature to be introduced from July, but as an option, is BMW Parking Assistant, which will park the 5 Series GT in any slot that exceeds the car's length by 1.2 metres, with the driver simply operating brake and accelerator.

Auto-stop/start is also introduced to the 6 Series range with effect from July. The large two-door models will also gain a new feature, 'no passing info', but Croaker says that will not be on the agenda for Australia. It's a new system that informs the driver when it's safe — and legal — to overtake, but it piggy-backs off the company's speed limit recognition technology, which has been discontinued in Australia due to our non-uniform standards across the country for speed limit signage.

Through BMW Individual the company will be offering the Z4 in contrasting roof colours from July. Buyers will be able to choose between silver or non-metallic black. And lastly, the X3 will offer buyers the options of a sports leather steering wheel with shift paddles or an M leather-clad steering wheel with shift paddles. BMW is also building the X3 with the 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine compliant with Euro 6, but that variant won't be coming to Australia.
