How Do Natural Gas Vehicles Work?

 Compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles operate much like gasoline-powered vehicles with spark-ignited internal combustion engines.

The engine functions the same way as a gasoline engine.

Natural gas is stored in a fuel tank, or cylinder, typically at the back of the vehicle. The CNG fuel system transfers high-pressure gas from the fuel tank through the fuel lines, where a pressure regulator reduces the pressure to a level compatible with the engine fuel injection system. Finally, the fuel is introduced into the intake manifold or combustion chamber, where it is mixed with air and then compressed and ignited by a spark plug.

Style icon: Maserati Levante

Fancy owning a sporty Italian SUV with an interior furnished by another Italian style icon? Then you’ll be in an elite group as only five cars from this special collaboration are available.

When it comes to fine Italian fabrics, no other name is held in higher regard than Ermenegildo Zegna. Whether it is clothing discerning gentlemen around the world or dressing up the interiors of luxury automobiles, the brand can always be counted on to deliver the finest results.

Its latest collaboration with Maserati is tailored to perfection—the marque’s Levante S GranSport SUV now houses Zegna’s exquisite Pelletessuta weaved leather. Instead of fabric yarn, Zegna weaved thin strips of Nappa leather, which are produced via a special process, for a fabric that is not just soft and supple but also enduring. The impressive thing about the fabric is that it is weaved using the traditional weaving method, and it took Zegna years before they perfected this unconventional combination.

Curfew days in Nigeria…giorni di coprifuoco in Nigeria

( in calce la versione italiana)

Tormented, frustrated and whipped Nigeria, unable to use democracy and the common sense of peace and humanity.

The enforcement of rights continues to clash with old privileges and widespread ignorance.
The people struggle to improve their existence but still kneel prostrating themselves to popular little false teacher, distributors in the city districts and in the villages of enchanted, false and empty words … The right doctrine is the wisdom of the elderly, family solidarity and the enlightened wisdom of young entrepreneurs.

People rioting on the street seem to be asking to be enslaved by the vices embodied, rejoicing over a brief shower of pennies, drowning in misery and sweat.
Crowds demand justice but most are content to just steal a TV from the mall during the riot.
People swell like angry turkeys in the middle of the streets and ask for blood but believe the speeches of little barons who live off absurd traditions far from the needs of the people and who have never really offered ear or soul to the people.
The people have not yet understood the use of democracy and perhaps, for many, not even the use of logic and intelligence: they only try to scratch some small privileges to their masters, not knowing that the next day they will be poorer than before, still slaves of barons.

In a democracy you can vote, learn to do it, don’t bark and don’t look for shortcuts to democracy.

Poor children of a Greater Nigeria who still, after sixty years of independence, float in the sea of ​​ignorance and seek in history an excuse for their poverty … in a country where Nature offers divine goods … the rules of democracy would be to learn instead of reviving atavistic hatreds.

Strong and honest fathers who work folded under the scorching sun, their children who want and can be equal to young people around the world and courageous entrepreneurs must be the pride of this country … enlightened politicians will be born from them.

The path of democracy is not easy, but it is the only one that can be taken … democracy, civic education, must be taught and learned in the classrooms of schools and universities … non-violence is a teacher of civilization if you have your own goals in the heart.
A great country is built with pride, there is no pride by storming shopping centers or traveling clandestinely on boats to Europe: build your country with courage, passion and honest work.

God bless Nigeria.

“Gift of God”

Nigeria tormentata, frustrata e frustata, incapace di usare la democrazia e il comune senso di pace e umanità.

L’ applicazione dei diritti continua a scontrarsi con vecchi privilegi e ignoranza diffusa.
Il popolo lotta per migliorare l’esistenza ma ancora si inginocchia prostrandosi a popolari piccoli falsi maestri distributori, nei quartieri cittadini e nei villaggi, di parole incantate, false e vuote…La giusta dottrina è la saggezza degli anziani, la solidarietà familiare e l’illuminata saggezza di giovani imprenditori.

La gente in rivolta per strada sembra chiedere di essere schiava dei vizi incarnati, esultando per una breve pioggia di penny, lasciandosi annegare nella miseria e nel sudore.
La folla chiede giustizia ma la maggior parte si accontenta di rubare solo una TV al centro commerciale durante la sommossa.
Le persone si gonfiano come tacchini arrabbiati in mezzo alle strade e chiedono sangue ma credono ai discorsi di piccoli baroni che vivono di tradizioni assurde lontane dai bisogni della gente e che non hanno mai veramente offerto orecchio o anima alla gente.
Il popolo non ha ancora capito l’uso della democrazia e forse, per molti, nemmeno l’uso della logica e dell’intelligenza: cercano solo di scalfire qualche piccolo privilegio ai loro padroni, non sapendo che il giorno dopo saranno più poveri di prima, ancora schiavi di baroni.

In una democrazia puoi votare, impara a farlo, non si abbaia e non si cercano scorciatoie alla democrazia.

Poveri figli di una Grande Nigeria che ancora, dopo sessant’anni di indipendenza, galleggiano nel mare dell’ignoranza e cercano nella storia una scusa per la loro povertà… in un paese dove la Natura offre beni divini… le regole della democrazia sarebbero da imparare anzichè far rinascere odi atavici.

I padri forti e onesti che lavorano piegati sotto il sole cocente, i loro figli che vogliono e possono essere uguali ai giovani di tutto il mondo e gli imprenditori coraggiosi devono essere l’orgoglio di questo Paese…da loro nasceranno politici illuminati.

La strada della democrazia non è facile, ma è l’unica percorribile…la democrazia, l’educazione civica, va insegnata e imparata nelle aule delle scuole e delle università…la non violenza è maestra di civiltà se hai i tuoi obbiettivi nel cuore.
Un grande paese si costruisce con l’orgoglio, non c’è orgoglio assaltando i centri commerciali o viaggiando clandestinamente su barconi verso l’Europa: costruisci il tuo paese con coraggio, passione e onesto lavoro.

Dio benedica la Nigeria.

Letter of Credit (Rome Business School, Nigeria)

The English word “bank” derives from the Italian term “banco” (or “banca”), in turn stemming from the Frankish word “bank”.

In Italian, “banco” originally referred to a bench with a back, then a bench’s wooden seat, in the 1300s a shop counter, in the 1500s a craftsman workbench. Finally, from the counter where money was exchanged, collected and lent, it came to mean the institution itself offering those services.

Like for almost everything, you can find the remote origins of the banking system in ancient history. Saving and borrowing services existed among the Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia, where private individuals felt the need to entrust their riches to priests, and among the ancient Greeks.

Other than this mainly formal recognition, banking was an Italian invention.

Letter of credit

A letter of credit was one of the most important financial mechanisms that allowed international trade to flourish in the 15th century. As caravans wheeled, and ships sailed around Europe distributing fine goods, the letter of credit became a necessity for travelling merchants.

A letter of credit is an agreement in which the buyer’s bank guarantees to pay the seller’s bank at the time goods/services are delivered. They would be authorised to receive pounds in the London branch, for example, at 40 pence to the florin exactly 90 days after (the timing was always fixed).

Shipping large sums of money over land on a regular basis was too dangerous during this era. For this reason, traders would deposit florins (the Florentine currency of the day) in a Medici bank for a letter of credit.

Herein this tidy little innovation also lay the genius of the Medici wealth-generating machine. During the early Middle Ages, usury (the lending of money for interest) was a cardinal sin- which posed a problem for banking institutions such as the Medicis in a religiously-zealous society. A letter of credit was one of many ways they could disguise the interest within transactions, and refrain from angering the theocracy.

Continuing our example from above, the London branch of the bank would then turn around and find someone wanting to purchase florins in Florence, but at the rate of 36 pence to a florin (currencies traded in different rates home and away). This little difference of 4 pence per florin gave the cunning Medicis a 22% annual return. In the eyes of the contemporary theologian, this was a currency exchange rather than a sin, absolving them of the judgment of God, whilst making a tidy profit.

Not even COVID 19 will be able to stop the long march on the road to recovery.

The lower dependence on oil … which continues, however, to constitute a great wealth … the huge investments in agriculture and animal husbandry, the interest of investors in search of unsaturated markets, the protection of local industry … in a country that has the largest domestic market in all of Africa … will lead to the recovery of economic circulation.

The need for new markets will become a priority that will favor large emerging markets, such as Nigeria.

Road transport will however continue to grow strongly.

Hydrogen Strategy

London (February 6, 2020) — IVECO and FPT Industrial, the commercial vehicle and powertrain brands of CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI/ MI: CNHI), and Nikola Motor Company will manufacture, through their European Joint Venture, the Nikola TRE in Ulm, Germany, at the IVECO manufacturing facility.

This strategic and exclusive Heavy-Duty Truck partnership saw CNH Industrial taking a $250 million stake in Nikola as the lead Series D investor. The partnership announcement at the CNH Industrial Capital Markets Day in September 2019, was quickly followed in December with the unveiling of the Nikola TRE, a battery electric vehicle (BEV) heavy duty truck, which is the first step towards the fuel-cell electric (FCEV) model.

Today, the site in Ulm is IVECO’s chassis engineering hub, ideally situated at the heart of the Baden-Württemberg region, which is striving to become a leading hub for fuel-cell mobility thanks also to its skilled workforce and research labs. The region has committed a substantial investment to fund research and development projects in the area which has a strong automotive industry, with strategic project partnerships, meaning the Ulm facility will benefit from close proximity to key suppliers.

Furthermore, the German Federal Government recently released its draft National Hydrogen Strategy, which has the aim of expanding the pioneering role of Companies in hydrogen technologies. In this strategy, it commits a total of two billion euro to fund the hydrogen innovation programme, incl. the development of the necessary distribution infrastructure.

“Our European joint-venture with NIKOLA and today’s announcement, is real proof that zero-emission long-haul transport is becoming a reality, resulting in tangible environmental benefits for Europe’s long distance hauliers and its citizens,” said Hubertus Mühlhäuser, Chief Executive Officer, CNH Industrial. “The decision to build the Nikola TRE in Ulm – a center of heavy-duty truck engineering excellence – underscores the site’s strategic location at the heart of Germany’s fuel cell technology cluster.”

In the first stage of the project, €40 million will be invested by the joint-venture Company to upgrade the manufacturing facility, which will focus on final assembly of the vehicle. Start of production is anticipated within the first quarter of 2021, with deliveries of the Nikola TRE beginning in the same year.

“The Nikola TRE is proving to be the most advanced articulated truck in the world and will continue to set the standard for zero-emission vehicles today and in the future,” said Trevor Milton, Chief Executive Officer, Nikola Motor Company. “The decision to volume produce the TRE in the city of Ulm is a fitting example of how to create jobs, foster innovation, provide certainty to new zero-emission part suppliers and serve as an example to other OEM’s. The world is ready for zero-emission freight transportation, and the joint venture between Nikola and IVECO will be the first to deliver. I look forward to seeing the first production vehicles come off the line.”

The first models to enter production will be the battery-electric 4×2 and 6×2 articulated trucks with modular and scalable batteries with a capacity of up to 720 kWh and an electric powertrain that delivers up to 480 kW of continuous power output.

The Ulm facility will receive module supplies from IVECO´s manufacturing locations in Valladolid and Madrid, Spain, which will enable a rapid ramp up to meet expected customer demand. Fuel-cell electric versions, built on the same platform, will be tested under the EU-funded H2Haul project during 2021 for an expected market launch in 2023.

The Nikola TRE currently in development is based on the new IVECO S-WAY platform and integrates Nikola’s truck technology, controls and infotainment. Testing is expected to begin in mid-2020 with prototypes showcased at the IAA 2020 commercial vehicle exhibition in Hannover, Germany this September.

“By drawing on our Gold standard World Class Manufacturing sites in Madrid and Valladolid, Spain, where the IVECO S-Way is produced, we are able to accelerate final assembly, powertrain integration and high-end customization of the Nikola TRE for a timely market introduction in 2021” said Gerrit Marx, President Commercial and Speciality Vehicles, CNH Industrial.

This Joint Venture forms part of a wider partnership established with Nikola to accelerate industry transformation towards emission neutrality of Class 8 heavy-duty trucks in North America and Europe through the adoption of fuel-cell technology. The primary focus of the collaboration is to leverage each partners’ respective expertise to successfully deploy zero-emission heavy-duty trucks and to disrupt the industry with an entirely new business model.
