Island tours
Article Abstract:
Toyota is developing an electricity-powered version of its popular sport utility vehicle, the RAV4. The electric vehicle, which will initially be offered for rent to New Jersey tourists in 1998, is the product of Toyota's long history of research into environment-friendly forms of transportation. The front-wheel-drive car will be powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor with an integrated water-cooled inverter. It will be powered by nickel-hydride batteries.

Picture perfect: Insert-mould decoration can enhance design freedom and reduce production costs
Article Abstract:
Insert-mould decoration (IMD) can provide cost-effective ranges of decorative effects. In IMD processes, a decorated polycarbonate film is backmoulded with a resin material, creating an integrated design. Several decoration technologies can be used to decorate the polycarbonate film. IMD reduces the material components and the number of production processes. These benefits are being applied to the telecommunications and appliance industries.

Protective overhauls
Article Abstract:
The aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) industry is expected to reach 40 billion pounds sterling by the year 2000. However, this growth also entails the efficient management of resources. This can be made possible through the use of the CONTROL enterprise resource planning software which supports the business activities of MRO firms. Another option is Rayfast Ltd's Raychem aerospace supply package for MRO operators.
