STOCKHOLM, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Volvo Cars unveiled a new manufacturing strategy for China in which production capacity will be increased and China will be developed into a global manufacturing and export hub servicing growing demand for its new range of cars in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific.
According to a company press release on Wednesday, Volvo Cars said it would make its top-of-the-range S90-series cars based on its Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) at its plant in Daqing, Heilongjiang province, in northeastern China.
It also announced Wednesday that production of the new S90 premium sedan will in future be moved from Europe to China.
The Swedish company also announced that existing and future 60-series medium-sized SPA-based cars will be built at its plant in Chengdu, Sichuan province, in southwest China, while its planned 40 series smaller cars, based on its Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), will be made at a plant that is currently being built in Luqiao, 350 km south of Shanghai.
"With three plants -- and the designation of one car line for each plant -- Volvo creates an efficient production structure ensuring future capacity for growth," said Hakan Samuelsson, president and chief executive.
Volvo's expanded production capacity in China forms an integral part of its broader global industrial footprint, the company said.
Volvo currently operates two plants in Europe, in Sweden and Belgium. The Sweden plant in Gothenburg will continue to make 90 series and 60 series SPA cars while its plant in Ghent, Belgium, will in future be a CMA-only production facility making new 40 series cars.
Volvo Cars, which was acquired by Chinese automaker Geely in 2010, employs nearly 29,000 people worldwide. Enditem
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- Microsoft Corporation announced a plan on Wednesday to update its Windows 10 operating system, enabling 3-D features on personal computers (PC).
The update, called Creators Update, to the Windows 10, which is Microsoft's latest software platform for applications to operate, is expected to be available to more than 400 million devices early next year.
Microsoft, a technology company based in Redmond, Washington state, of the U.S. Pacific Northwest, said the update will help create, share and experience in 3-D and mixed reality and make Microsoft Edge the first web browser to fully embrace 3-D. In addition, it said Microsoft Office suite, a set of productivity applications including PowerPoint presentation tool, will support 3-D features.
A parade of Microsoft executives took the stage at the event in New York on the U.S. east coast to talk about the company's planned product rollout, including a series of hardware such as a new Surface Book laptop computer that comes with a so-called Performance Base to extend battery life to up to 16 hours per charge, a desktop computer called Surface Studio, and a new peripheral input device called Surface Dial.
Noting that the desktop machine, Microsoft's first of the kind, is intended to expand its Surface family, the company said Surface Studio comes with a thin 28-inch LCD monitor offering a ultra-HD 4.5K touch screen, is a new class of device that "transforms from a workstation into a powerful digital canvas." The high-end PC, priced at 2,999 U.S. dollars and up, has a Studio Mode that allows the screen to sit at a 20-degree angle.
"With Windows 10, Microsoft Surface and the medium of Mixed Reality," claimed chief executive officer Satya Nadella, "we aim to empower the builders, the makers and the creators with the tools to create, collaborate and express themselves in new ways."
Co-founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates in 1975, Microsoft, still the world's largest PC software publisher, has tried for years to find a foothold in hardware business, as its flagship Windows operating system loses market share to Android, which works on mobile devices. With the rise of smartphone and tablet computer, the volume of worldwide PC market has been down at an annual rate of about 3 to 4 percent in recent years.
