Car TalkBMW Introduces Wireless Charging To Charge Your Car Without Cables by AutoJoshNG(op): 10:05pm On Oct 25, 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlrcPrzuPMM

“BMW Wireless Charging”, the technology that allows energy transfer to take place without the use of cables. Wireless charging for the high-voltage battery will be made available as an option for the BMW 530e iPerformance from 2018.

The system consists of a base pad with integrated primary coil – which can be installed in a garage, for example, but also outdoors – and a secondary coil integrated in the underside of the vehicle. An alternating magnetic field is generated between the two coils, through which electricity is transmitted without cables or contacts at a charge rate of up to 3.2 kW.

The car will be fully charged in 3 hours 30 minutes.

More like crude oil is fast becoming the next charcoal.

Car TalkWould You Buy This Almost Brand New 1985 BMW 323i For N30m? (photos) by AutoJoshNG(op): 1:35pm On Oct 23, 2017
We all know BMW fans in Nigeria are core enthusiasts.. they have the BMW Club of Nigeria, they do racing competitions, BMW shows and they every had a BMW Festival on Saturday. But is anyone that hardcore to drop a whooping N30million for this 1985 BMW 323i (E30)?

It's almost brand new with mileage as low as just 260km from birth. It has a 2.3 liter straight six engine with 150 horsepower. It also comes with a five-speed manual transmission. 

As obvious from the pictures, the car looks as clean as new and the owner is asking for only $82,000 for this car to be yours. 

Would you buy this or a 2017 BMW M3 instead? Tell us in the comment section.

Car Talk1.3 Million Ford F-150 Recalled Due To Doors That May Open On Motion by AutoJoshNG(op): 1:06pm On Oct 23, 2017
1.3 million Ford F-150 trucks have just been recalled. The recall is due to door latches that may freeze or bend making the doors not to open or close properly. This may even cause the doors to open unexpectedly when the vehicle is in motion.

The affected vehicles are 2015 to 2017 models.  

Despite the simplicity of the repair, it will take a whole lot of time for Ford to fix all the affected vehicles.. they will need to add a water shield to the door latch and/or replace the actuation cables if required. 

Another set of recalls also affects a small number of F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-650 and F-750.

SportsF1 - Lewis Hamilton Wins US Grand Prix In Austin Ahead Of Vettel And Raikkonen by AutoJoshNG(op): 12:14pm On Oct 23, 2017
The win, ahead of the Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen, allied to a fifth place for Valtteri Bottas also handed Mercedes their fourth Constructors’ Championship crown in a row.

Hard-charging Vettel took the lead into Turn 1 at the start, but when Hamilton grabbed first place with a good overtake of the German on lap six and quickly opened a two-second gap there was little doubt that, barring mechanical issues, the Mercedes driver would cross the line in first place.

After 56 laps, Hamilton crossed the line to take his sixth career US GP win with 10 seconds in hand over the German.

There was more drama at the end of the race as Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen was denied a podium finish. The Dutchman was handed a five-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining and advantage when passing Räikkönen for P3 in the last sector of the last lap. Verstappen was demoted to fourth and the Ferrari man took the podium alongside Hamilton and Vettel.

Car TalkInnoson To Partner With NDDC In The Training Of Niger Delta Youths by AutoJoshNG(op): 12:04am On Oct 12, 2017
Chairman Governing Board of NDDC, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba has commended Nigeria’s indigenous car manufacturing company, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Group on their skills acquisition programme, just as he indicated the commission’s interest in partnering with them in the training of Niger Delta youths.

This was made known when the Executive Chairman of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company, Chief Innocent Chukwuma and his Management team paid him a courtesy visit at his office in Abuja.

Ndoma-Egba commended Chief Chukwuma for his faith and belief in Nigeria by establishing a fully indigenous Multi Million Dollar Manufacturing business and assured that NDDC will support and patronize local production and enterprise as this creates jobs and gainful employment for the youths.

The NDDC Chairman further stated that the commission will patronize Innoson Motors by acquiring Refuse Disposal Trucks to assist the Nine Niger Delta Member States in refuse disposal and keeping their environments clean. He indicated NDDC’s interest in partnering with them in the training of Niger Delta youths. Responding , the Executive Chairman of Innoson Motors, Chief Innocent Chukwuma reinstated his commitment to continue to improve the quality of their product's International standards.

Appealing to Government and its agencies to continue to patronize Made in Nigeria Products, Chief Chukwuma emphasized “if Government supports local production, Nigerian youths will be gainfully employed. He also added that at graduation, our youths should become Job Creators and not Job Seekers”. He therefore urged Nigerian youths to use their inherent abilities to create jobs for themselves instead of being job seekers.

Innoson Motors, an Indigenous Vehicle Manufacturing firm specialized in the manufacturing of waste disposal trucks, sedans, four-wheeled vehicles and buses, also has an ultra modern manufacturing plant located at Nnewi in Anambara state employing over 7,000 staff.

Comfort-enhancing functions transform the travelling experience for the driver and passengers. The front seats feature 24-way movement thanks to the new seat frames, with wider and deeper foams as well as heated arm rests.

Car TalkThis 2017 Land Rover Discovery Comes With A Kitchen (photos) by AutoJoshNG(op): 8:24pm On Oct 10, 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQAPsswo8GQ

- Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations builds dream kitchen on wheels.
- A slow cooker under the bonnet and a toaster in the armrest are just some of the kitchen gadgets on this bespoke Discovery.

Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) worked with lifelong Land Rover fan and customer, Jamie Oliver who is a chef, to bring his vision to life. The result is truly unique – it’s the only Discovery in the world that has a toaster in the centre console and a rotisserie driven by the power take off. Other ingenious features include a slow-cooker that sits beside the engine, a pasta maker, a gas hob and a deployable dining table and worktop. There is even a herb garden and spice rack in the rear windows.

With up to 2,500 litres of luggage space and clever storage for 21st century family essentials, the versatile seven-seater Discovery was the perfect vehicle for SVO to modify. With plenty of room for a custom-made aluminium sink, a flat screen TV and deployable kitchen worktop that also doubles as a dining table. Further touches include a spice drawer, a bespoke pestle and mortar and a Land Rover barbecue.

Jamie Oliver Said  "I gave Land Rover a massive challenge to create the ultimate kitchen on wheels. I dreamt big and asked for a lot, and what they’ve done has blown my mind. I didn’t think they’d actually be able to put a slow-cooker next to the engine and an olive oil dispenser in the boot, but they did. The result is an amazing Discovery, tailored perfectly for me and the family – we love it. This unique creation means we can take our culinary adventures to the next level".

Ian Robertson who is BMW's board member responsible for sales has confirmed the company is looking into ditching car keys. 

This idea is premised on the fact that everyone now has a smartphone and BMW's app now allows us perform most of the vehicle functions via our phones. 

“Honestly, how many people really need it?” Robertson said to Reuters during the Frankfurt Motor Show. “They never take it out of their pocket, so why do I need to carry it around?,” 

Robertson said. “We are looking at whether it is feasible, and whether we can do it. Whether we do it right now or at some point in the future, remains to be seen,” 

Tesla also has this idea showing that BMW is not alone.

Car TalkA UK Citizen Receives N860 Million Compensation From Government Due To Pothole by AutoJoshNG(op): 9:54am On Oct 08, 2017
In Nigeria, we pay government for neglected roads and potholes as LASTMA, Police and other traffic agencies could arrest you when your car breaks down... the sad part is, you'll have to pay to bail yourself and your car. You may also need to settle Agbero. 

However, it's a different case in the UK where a single person sued the Somerset County Council for £1.8m and he got compensated because the government neglected a road which led to potholes. 

In the UK, it is a common trend for the citizens to sue the government if the roads are bad.. and the amount of compensation has been on a constant rise. Somerset County paid £170,000 to 28 claimants in 2014 to 2015, almost £900,000 to 33 claimants in the following year and £2.1m was paid in 31 compensation claims in 2016 to 2017 with £1.8m of it going to just one person.

Somerset County Gazette revealed the most common claim for compensation was for potholes, followed by drains and gullies and then "erosion of road".

The lowest compensation was £11.99 for "damage to clothing caused by overgrown fruit plant that were not maintained".

Can you sue Nigerian government for such and win?

BusinessOLX Is 5 Years Old - Reveals Impact Of Online Classifieds On Nigerian Economy by AutoJoshNG(op): 4:50pm On Oct 06, 2017
OLX reveals exciting stats on the impact of Online Classifieds on the Nigerian Economy as they clock 5

OLX reveals value of the secondhand items posted on the site in 2016

- The total value of second items posted was N12.1 trillion last year
- 1,122,001 items were posted for sale, which equates to one item posted every thirty seconds 

Lagos, Nigeria: OLX, the leading online classifieds site in Nigeria, has released a second hand items report for Nigeria for the first time in commemoration of their 5th Anniversary to showcase trends within the local secondhand market from last year.

According to the report, the value of the unused or secondhand items posted on the site was N12.1 trillion last year, which interestingly, is almost twice the market capital for Snapchat*. The report also showcases the power of the secondhand market offering in Nigeria, by revealing that over one million items were posted for sale last year, which equates to one item being up for grabs every 30 seconds on OLX.

Commenting on the report, Lola Masha, Country Manager, OLX stated that, “OLX currently receives over 2.8 million visits a month and we are anticipating a growth in this figure over the upcoming months. This report reflects Nigerians awareness of the second-hand value of their possessions.

The report takes a closer look at each category revealing some exciting figures about Nigeria’s secondhand market. For example: the monetary value of mobile phones posted on OLX in 2016 is over N6.5 trillion - which is equivalent to 4 and half of the world’s largest gold bars, whilst the value of the home, furniture & garden category on OLX is N44.3 billion which is equivalent to almost half the cost of the Akwa Ibom stadium.

The most expensive mobile phone posted on the site was a Nokia Vertu for N950,000, whilst the most expensive vehicle was a pre-owned 2015 Private Jet Bombardier valued at N5.5 billion that’s the average salary of the top 5 Nigerian footballers.

“The report not only shows the enormous value of the second hand market but also demonstrates the positive impact online classifieds has on the Nigerian economy. This is a concrete demonstration of the OLX brand essence “Everybody wins” as sellers win when they sell items they no longer need at lower prices, Buyers win when they buy items at great discounts and the Community wins as this trade leads to increased circulation of cash in the local economy.” Masha added.

The OLX Group operates a network of online trading platforms in over 40 countries. It builds market leading classifieds marketplaces that empower millions of people to buy, sell and create prosperity in local communities.

With over 300 million monthly users worldwide, OLX Group makes it fast and easy to buy and sell almost anything online, such as household goods, phones, cars and houses. Through consumer brands including Avito, dubizzle, letgo, OLX, Stradia and Storia, more than 10 million things are listed on its market-leading apps and platforms every single month.

Car Talk5 Benefits Of Third Party Motor Insurance You Need To Know by AutoJoshNG(op): 12:58pm On Oct 06, 2017
Do you know the benefits of a third party motor insurance? Before we delve into the benefits, let’s understand what third party motor insurance means.

Third party car insurance means that the person that is not a party to the agreement between the insured (car owner) and the insurer (insurance company) is covered when there is a claim. Motor third-party insurance is a compulsory policy for all car owners in Nigeria and it is backed by law. Third party motor insurance only covers the following:

1. Third party property damage,
2. Third party bodily injury or death.

For example, if you insure your car on third party only insurance (the premium is N5,000.00), and you get involved in a road accident where you are at fault, the insurance company will be liable for the repair of the other person's car while you repair your own car. Also, if you damage somebody's property like a building's fence in an accident, the fence will be repaired by the insurance company. However, you should take note that there is a certain limit to what the insurance company will pay for motor third party property damage. The maximum is N1,000,000.00, but some can pay as high as N2,000,000.00.

The main importance of third party motor insurance is for the protection of other road users while you use your car. If compensation for bodily injury or death, or the repair of a third party car is more than the insurance contract limit, then you would be required to pay the excess. For example if you are involved in an accident and the claim is N1,400,000.00 after adjustment. If your policy limit is N1,000,000.00, what it means is that the third party will be paid N1,000,000.00 by the insurance company while you will pay the remaining N400,000.00 to the third party to settle the claim. The limit can be drawn many times during the policy year, but it cannot exceed the limit.

In Nigeria, many car owners and drivers believe motor third party insurance is among the vehicle license documents that make it legal for them to use the road. In fact, only 1 in 100 car owners understand that third party car insurance is not just a document for road usage, but a savior in times of unexpected occurrences. When you run into Police or other agency road blocks, and your car particulars are checked, if you do not possess third-party insurance, you would be arrested. So, what really does the third party insurance do than allow car owners free passage during stop-and-search by government officials like the Police?


The Benefits of Third Party Motor Insurance:

1. Peace of mind when you are driving your car.
2. Confidence when you get into an accident on the road.
3. Control over your loss (i.e. you do not shoulder claims’ liability alone after an accident).
4. Shift of burden (i.e. instead of worrying over third party loss, the Insurer supports you).
5. Security (i.e. you do not have to get in a fight with any third party).


What & How Can You Invoke The Third-Party Insurance Policy?

Anytime you get involved in any of the scenarios mentioned in the previous paragraphs (and covered in the insurance contract); all you need to do is file a claim. You can file a claim directly via the Insurance Company or the agent that underwrote the insurance policy for you. Make sure you have clear photo evidences, and receipts (in case you paid for part or the full claims already).
