To most organisations, the benefits of investing in ongoing staff training are clear. They include:
So, if we accept the findings above that support the case for investing in a formal staff training program, how does one go about identifying staff training requirements and putting a suitable program in place?
Enter The Staff Skills Audit:
If a company's strategic plan involves doubling the workforce size within 3 years and opening two completely new divisions during that period, then you would hope that the company's HR Management team have a good handle on what skills the company currently has, and what new skills it needs to obtain in order for the company to meet its business objectives. As such, a staff skills audit (uncovering current situation) and training needs analysis (guiding future direction) is a vital first step in obtaining company-wide quantitative data on what skills an organisation's workforce currently has, and (based on the company's business objectives) where the skills gaps lie.
Whilst conducting face-to-face meetings with a select few staff members to discuss training requirements, or ensuring training needs are raised with staff at their annual performance reviews can both be a worthwhile exercise, neither approach will give you an accurate company-wide picture of the organisation's skills status and future training requirements at one point in time. As such, an annual or bi-annual online staff training needs survey is becoming an increasingly popular approach to address this requirement.
When assessed against the alternatives of paper-based or face-to-face training needs analysis surveys, we find the online approach has a number of clear advantages. These include:
1. Speed and ease of reporting: online survey results are generated instantly, and anyone given authorisation can access the results from any web browser in the World, at any time, with the data securely held on encrypted servers. If the same survey is used results can also be compared from month to month, or year to year to help spot trends and assist with budgeting and planning. The online approach also saves significant time with distributing and administering the survey as a survey link is simply e-mailed to employees. 2. Data entry time/expense/errors: the online survey quickly stores the exact data and scoring entered by each employee. Management's data entry requirement is removed. 3. High cost: compared with the paper or face-to-face alternatives, the online TNA process has been shown to cost up to 80% less, and reduce decision making time by up to 90%. 4. Consistency: when a decentralised, verbal training needs analysis system is replaced by a centralised online process, the training survey issued is the same for all employees and comparison of like-for-like results made easy. 5. Interviewer bias or interpretation errors: the 'interview' is in the form of an online survey and what the employee types is exactly what HR report on.
Once the company-wide survey has been conducted, the next steps in the training strategy development process include:
It is recommended that this process be conducted on a 12 monthly cycle at a minimum. In short, a well constructed skills audit and training needs analysis process will provide a fast and accurate snapshot of workforce training requirements, assist with training vendor selection and budgeting, and ultimately help improve employee retention levels and overall staff satisfaction.

- Significance: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Farm has been determined eligible to the National Register of Historic Places because of its association with historical and scientific events of exceptional importance. Variously known as the EPA Farm, U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Farm, NTS Farm Complex, and experimental farm, it was an experimental facility designed to study the effects of radioactive fallout on animal tissue and especially on the fodder-cow-milk food chain. As one of the programs that developed out of the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963, the EPA Farm is part of the legacy of radiation-related health concerns generated by the Cold War. The facility was decommissioned effective December 31, 1981 (although use of one of the buildings [15-06] continued as an abattoir for semi-annual beef sacrifice and quarterly deer collection, as well as storage of samples and equipment into the mid-1990s).

Every Harper rotary tube furnace is designed for the customer's unique specifications. We bring innovative solutions to designs for continuous processing of advanced materials such as granular, powder, or particulate aggregates in high purity and specialty atmosphere environments at temperatures up to 3000°C.
See how our state-of-the-art Rotary Furnace designs offer the most advanced features for your production line. Click below for an interactive tour, or watch the video here.
Harper rotaries offer exceptional versatility, reliability and energy efficiency. Our designs include multiple patented features that enable better mixing, resulting in improved heat transfer and mass transfer. The absence of moving parts in the tube support system provides a simple, reliable, robust design that enhances scalability. Additionally, the tumbling action of the product within the tube results in high degrees of temperature uniformity and gas-solid contact, producing a more homogenous product, reducing processing times and increasing production rates.
We offer the unique ability to accommodate a variety of process atmospheres that others cannot. Our excellent seal designs, advanced gas monitoring and handling systems, and indirect heating method allow the use of flammables and toxic gases. Harper approaches the design of a rotary furnace and calciner as a complete system, with the ability to incorporate process control systems, gas treatment and handling, turnkey installation and complete field commissioning. Field service can incorporate control instrumentation integration and programming as well as process engineering optimization and support.
Harper Rotary Furnace Design Enhancements
- Riffle flights – provide axial mixing for processing at a fixed average composition and are excellent for moderating exothermic reactions or continuous in-line mixing. Riffle flights enable similar benefits as standard continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR), but in a continuous rotary tube format.
- Helical flights – convey material without back-mixing. Utilized for processes that require narrow residence time distributions.
- Cross Flow System – coarse, free-flowing material can be heated and reacted with through-flowing gas. Gas flows locally through the solid material path while globally flowing co-current, counter-current – or combinations thereof – to material flow, providing superior gas-solid contact.

News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 1, 2003
OCT 1--8 indicted in connection with drug factory near Lewiston Kimberly Bolander Redding Record Searchlight CHEMICAL COMPOUND: Drug agents found these ingredients for cooking methamphetamine in a cabin near Lewiston, where a million-dollar drug operation is suspected of producing as much as 75 pounds of the drug at a time.
September 20, 2003 - 7:14 a.m. Drug agents dismantled a methamphetamine "superlab" near Lewiston and gained indictments for eight alleged drug makers, including an alleged Cottonwood kingpin who drug enforcement agents said they've been tracking for a year and a half.
U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott announced the indictments Friday at a joint press conference at the Redding Civic Center that credited a variety of north state law enforcement agencies for working together.
Like Colombia and its cocaine crop, America has become the source nation for methamphetamine production, with California largely supplying the rest of the nation, Scott said. Crackdowns in Southern California have driven Mexican nationals to move their meth labs to rural parts of the north state.
"It's not that they're coming here. It's that they are here," he said.
In Trinity County, the alleged meth makers cooked the drug inside a rented cabin southwest of Lewiston, about two miles off Highway 299. The lab produced as much as 60 to 75 pounds of methamphetamine in each batch, qualifying it as a superlab. A pound of the drug fetches about $10,000 wholesale from drug dealers across the United States, Scott said.
Those federally indicted by Scott's office on July 31 and Sept. 11 include Jose Sanchez, 46, of Cottonwood, also known as Jose Luis Gonzalez. Sanchez allegedly led the multimillion-dollar drug operation that shipped crystal methamphetamine as far as Georgia and Florida.
Gordon Taylor, agent in charge of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration office in Sacramento, said Sanchez has operated in the north state for about two years. He was overseeing methamphetamine production at the cabin near Lewiston for several months before drug agents raided it July 11, Taylor said.
On that day, agents stopped a Ford Explorer leaving the cabin with four or five of the suspects. They found a secret compartment under the vehicle that contained 20 pounds of high-quality crystal meth in Tupperware containers. The compartment's opening was behind a rear tire wheel well and was sealed with Bond-O, then "dirtied up" to further hide it, said Joe Diaz, special agent supervisor for the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement.
Defendant Arturo Rodgrigo Luna-Rodriguez Jr. , 32, also lived in Cottonwood. Residences were unknown for the remaining defendants: Jesus Ramirez-Ortiz, 33, Alejandro Carrillo, 47, Gabino Sanchez-Gonzalez, 27, Noe Sanchez-Perez, 28, Juan Chipres-Guizar, 30, and Rosa Lara Calderon, 23. Carrillo remained at large Friday.
By filing allegations in federal court rather than state courts, prosecutors can seek stiffer penalties, Scott said.
Diaz estimated Sanchez went by 20 to 30 aliases, even within his own operation, to keep ahead of the law. Agents have been trying to locate his whereabouts for about a year and a half, Diaz said.
"Frankly, we don't know what his real name is. That's fine. He can be John Doe for 20 years in prison," Diaz said.
The indictment from a grand jury in California's eastern district federal court charges the defendants with manufacturing, possession and an intent to distribute meth, among other allegations.
Officials from eight north state drug and law enforcement agencies joined Scott Friday, including Trinity County Undersheriff Dave Laffranchini. Combining drug-fighting forces and finances is the only way Lewiston's superlab was dismantled, Laffranchini said, and he suspects there are more labs yet to be discovered in Trinity County.
"This is a trend, unfortunately, that we're going to see more of in the north state," Laffranchini said.

Rejects criticism it is replete with confusion and inaccuracy
Congress MP and AICC spokesperson Bhakta Charan Das on Sunday rejected criticism that the proposed Food Security Bill was replete with confusion and inaccuracy when it came to identification of beneficiaries, and said it was the best and the biggest effort aimed at achieving inclusive growth.
"Different State governments have their own food security programmes. But no State has the law to make it an entitlement. After a law is made, it will make right to food an entitlement to 75 per cent of the rural and 50 per cent the urban population," he told reporters here.
Mr. Das, who is here as part of the Congress party's campaign to muster support for the bill, which had already been introduced as an ordinance, said it would ensure access to adequate quality food at an affordable price to people.
When told that the Tamil Nadu government was implementing universal public distribution system, distributing 20 kg rice free of cost, to cardholders, and the apprehension that the Centre's proposal would cost an additional burden of Rs. 1,800 crore, he said the Centre had brought down the price of rice from Rs. 5.65 to Rs. 3 per kg.
"Moreover, under the new law, the Centre would be bound to pay money to the State government if it cannot supply food. It will not leave anyone behind, but will cover everyone," he explained.
Asked why the Centre, which was fully confident about the advantages of the bill, should seek to issue an ordinance, instead of introducing the bill in both Houses of Parliament, he said the issue was discussed nine times in the meeting of the Group of Ministers (GOM).
He said it was a unique programme and total transparency would be maintained from end to end to ensure there was no pilferage and lacuna.
Mr. Das said there was inadequate storage capacity between 2001 and 2007, but now the facility had been upgraded to store over 700 lakh tonnes of food grains.

Chinese ships enter disputed waters: Japan coast guard
Published on May 2, 2014 1:16 PM
TOKYO (AFP) - Three Chinese coast guard ships sailed into disputed waters in the East China Sea on Friday as Beijing maintained its defiant stance after United States President Barack Obama backed Tokyo in the row.
The Japanese coast guard said the Chinese vessels entered the 12-nautical-mile band of territorial waters around one of the Senkaku Islands, which China also claims and calls the Diaoyus, shortly before noon.
It was the third-such incursion since US President Barack Obama vigorously reasserted on April 24 that Washington would defend Japan under a bilateral military treaty if China initiated an attack in the tense dispute.
China has already dismissed Mr Obama's position, saying that the islands are "China's inherent territory".

The St. John's Red Storm held off the Fordham Rams to win 56-50 on Saturday afternoon in the Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden.
This is a big win for St. John's, as it breaks a stretch in which they lost five of six games. It also was their first without Nurideen Lindsey, who transferred out of the school on December 8th.
Their record improves to 5-5 on the season, and it is their first win at The Garden, having lost two games there a month ago in the 2K Sports Classic.
This game began as a very tight one, as the teams could not get an edge on each other in the first half.
With three minutes left, Fordham led 26-24, and St. John's ended the half on an 11-0 run, capped off by a dunk at the buzzer from God'sgift Achiuwa. In the stretch to go ahead 35-26, Moe Harkless had five points and Achiuwa had four.
It continued in the second half, as the Red Storm opened it on a 7-0 run, with D'Angelo Harrison getting a three-pointer and a Phil Greene layup put them up 42-26.
St. John's just could not put Fordham away, maintaining around a ten-point lead. Fordham kept chipping away and got to within six points as a Bryan Smith three-pointer with six minutes left made it 49-43 St. John's.
The closest Fordham would get would be 53-50 with 1:55 left on a dunk by Kervin Bristol.
On St. John's ensuing possession, D'Angelo Harrison missed a jumper, so Fordham had a chance to tie, and Bryan Smith missed a three-pointer with 1:08 remaining.
They got the offensive rebound, and Achiuwa blocked the shot attempt by Chris Gaston.
Fordham would not get another good chance, and St. John's iced the game on free throws from Phil Greene and Sir'Dominic Pointer.
D'Angelo Harrison led St. John's with 15 points, followed by Moe Harkless with 13, and God'sgift Achiuwa with 10.
St. John's, shorthanded by the three players who were disqualified early in the season and the transfer of Lindsay, used only six players, with only Malik Stith coming off the bench, and he only played four minutes.
St. John's came up big on the defensive end, holding Fordham to a field-goal percentage of 29.7 percent.
Assistant Coach Mike Dunlap, who is filling in for Head Coach Steve Lavin, who is recovering from cancer surgery, took that as the most important thing from the game.
Dunlap said: "From a defensive field goal percentage (standpoint) for us, that's a real positive to hold them to that field goal percentage…With Moe (Harkless) leading the way with 16 boards we rebounded by committee and that's a real positive sign we're growing."

While a recent article from The New York Times has the blogosphere aflutter with speculation about new devices from Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) that will employ new flexible glass technology from Corning (NYSE: GLW ) , there seems to be a distinct misunderstanding of where the technology is going. Willow Glass, the new product from the makers of Gorilla Glass, is absolutely a critical advance. Unfortunately for Apple, however, and to the benefit of both Samsung and Google, the technology is but a small part of the story that can easily be misunderstood and morphed into something it is not. Without meaning to suggest that the story, or the reporting that it has spawned, is intentionally misleading, the winners of this race seem to be Samsung and Corning.
iWatch morphs
At the core of the story is the news that Cupertino may be working on a new device in the wristwatch form factor. The device will apparently utilize the new curved glass technology available from Corning. The Times Nick Bilton goes on to explain: "Last year, Corning, the maker of the ultra-tough Gorilla Glass that is used in the iPhone, announced that it had solved the difficult engineering challenge of creating bendable glass, called Willow Glass, that can flop as easily as a piece of paper in the wind without breaking."
Where the story seems to take a massive leap forward is when Bilton shares that two people close to the story said that the new Apple device will "stand apart from competitors based on the company's understanding of how such glass can curve around the human body." When this is combined with the explanation provided by Corning Glass Technologies' Chief Technology Officer Pete Bocko that Willow Glass could be used to wrap around a human wrist, the implication is that Apple is in the process of developing a flexible device.
Flexible glass is not the same as a flexible device
A careful reading of the Willow Glass webpage reveals that the products "will support thinner backplanes and color filters for both Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) and liquid crystal displays (LCD) in high performance, portable devices such as smart phones, tablets, and notebook computers." What does this mean? The glass, which is a major technological advance in its own right, is exactly what it sounds like: a piece of glass. Unless it is laid over something, it is nothing more than a protective layer wrapped around something else.
The application of Willow Glass in a watch makes sense if the face and guts of the watch do not need to bend and move. The implication of the story, however, seems to be that the underlying product will be flexible as well. Essentially, the ability to wrap the glass around the human body is of almost no meaning for the development of a flexible device, unless what is underneath can bend as well.
Enter Youm
Here is where the bad news for Apple begins. At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Sumsung introduced flexible OLED technology that was dubbed Youm. The product was exhibited on a Windows phone. The inclusion of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) led to a significant amount of speculation that Samsung's first release of Youm will be with Microsoft and not on a Google Android smartphone. While other companies -- perhaps Apple -- are working on OLED technology, Samsung is believed to be well ahead of its competitors. Even if a Windows phone is the first to receive an OLED display, there is further speculation that the Galaxy S IV -- a revamp of the popular Galaxy S III -- will also receive this type of display.
The language offered by Corning seems to make clear that the glass is designed to be used over OLED technology. While Apple is a Corning customer, there is no exclusive relationship between the companies. Where things get less rosy for Apple, and more confusing, is in the fact that Samsung is believed to control roughly 90% of the OLED market. While Samsung could certainly accept Apple as a customer for its OLED business, it would seem that with a product that is potentially this advanced, selling to the company's top rival unlikely.
Sorting it all out
If you are confused, I think you are likely in good company. To simplify, the implication of the Bilton article in the Times is that as a result of the perfection of Willow Glass, Apple will now be able to manufacture bendable devices that will foster its efforts in wearable computing, specifically in the wristwatch form factor. In reality, Corning's Willow Glass alone is not enough to create a flexible device -- the underlying OLED or other display technology must also be flexible. While no hard data is available, Samsung is believed to control this market. The logical conclusion is that Samsung and not Apple is poised to push the envelope and introduce a new wave of wearable or flexible products.
While the news is great for Corning -- its product will likely be a necessary element -- Samsung is also in good shape, as is Google, which provides Android to many top-selling Samsung smartphones. Unfortunately, Apple looks like the big loser of the group, unless Samsung inexplicitly sells OLEDs to its main competitor from Cupertino or it solves the issues by itself. In any event, Corning looks like a buy on the news, with Google waiting on a big catalyst to come out of the story.
There's no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology's largest revolution ever, and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded with over 1,000% gains. However, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool's senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple, and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward.

Fragrant Sumac
Rhus aromatica
Fragrant sumac looks a lot like poison ivy! But this pleasant, nontoxic plant is easily told from its "evil cousin." Note the middle leaflet of its "leaves of three": On fragrant sumac, there is no (or at most a very short) leaf stalk on that middle leaflet. Also, fragrant sumac has hairy, reddish fruits (not waxy whitish ones).

Plan to establish Foundry Park at Lakdaram in Medak district
Focus on maintenance, repair and overhaulingAPIIC to be nodal agency in promoting SEZ
HYDERABAD: A Rs. 250-crore Aerospace SEZ with focus on maintenance, repair and overhauling (MRO) is proposed to be set up near the Hyderabad International Airport. Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation will be the nodal agency in promoting the SEZ on a 500-acre site at Nadargul and Adibatla.
The State Government has already made an application for the SEZ to the Centre, said B. P. Acharya, vice-chairman and managing director, APIIC. He said that many big players in the aerospace field were interested in the proposed SEZ on which Kota Harinarayana, former director, Light Combat Aircraft project, is advising the Government.
The APIIC is also planning to create infrastructure with an investment of Rs.100 crores for establishing a Foundry Park at Lakdaram in Medak district as the Government feels that foundry units can serve as a platform for establishing an automobile unit. The announcements on the Aerospace SEZ and the Foundry Park were made by Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy at the `Small Scale Industries Day-2006 celebrations" here on Thursday.
Science City
He said that a Science City would also be set up near Anantapur and declared efforts would be made to reduce the power tariff for industries from April next.
Pointing out that a huge potential existed in garments and food processing sectors, he urged entrepreneurs to set up clusters and assured that the Government would extend all help.
Referring to "resistance" from farmers to land acquisition, he said there was a lot of land in Anantapur and advised industrialists to set up units there.
The Government was proposing to take up a scheme to meet the drinking water and industrial needs in Anantapur.
Secretary of Industries Y. Srilakshmi, President of Federation of Andhra Pradesh Small Industries Associations V.L.N. Reddy and APIIC Chairman Ambati Rambabu were also present.

Plot Summary
A Hollywood retelling of the tragic sinking of the "unsinkable" British luxury liner H.M.S. "Titanic," which struck an iceberg April 15, 1912, and sank on its maiden voyage, killing over 1500 people. Only 712 of the passengers, using 19 lifeboats, survived. There were a number of famous people traveling on the ship who died, among them, John Jacob Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim.| Taking a personal approach, the film focuses on the Sturges, a family traveling on the luxury liner. Julia Sturges had booked passage on the ship with her two children after leaving her husband, Richard. He, however, discovered her plans, and followed her on board.| Once they set sail, Richard never allowed Julia out of his sight, and unsuccessfully begged for a reconciliation. But then the Titanic hit that deadly iceberg, and the Sturges had to set their differences aside... for the sake of themselves and their children.

3.0-L CRD (export) |
New 3.0-liter turbo, direct-injection V-6 diesel engine now available for the all-new 2011 Jeep® Grand Cherokee. The new engine is more powerful, more fuel efficient and produces lower emissions than its predecessor. Built by VM Motori and developed together with Fiat Powertrain, company of Fiat S.p.a., the new 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine produces maximum power of 177 kW (241 hp DIN) at 4,000 rpm and torque of 550 Nom (406 lb-ft) at 1,800-2,800 rpm. This translates to 10 percent more power and eight percent more torque than the engine it replaces. Even with its improved performance, fuel economy for the new 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine is 8.3 L/100km on the combined cycle, an improvement of 19 percent over the prior diesel engine. CO2 emissions (combined cycle) are also reduced by 20 percent, now at 218 g/km. The new V6 turbodiesel is fitted with new-generation, 1800 bar injectors with new MultiJet II technology, developed and patented by Fiat Powertrain and which made its début in 2009 on the 1.3 Small Diesel Engine equipped on the Punto Evo. Engine Block Structure The new 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine features a compressed graphite iron, 60-degree block with aluminum cylinder heads and a two-piece structural aluminum oil pan. Bore is 83 mm (3.27 in) and stroke is 92 mm (3.62 in) for a total displacement of 2987 cm3 (182 in3). Bore spacing is 96 mm (3.78 in). The engine is compact and lightweight, with overall dimensions of 695 mm (27.36 in) in length, 729 mm (28.7 in) in width and 697.5 mm (27.46 in) in height. Weight of the fully dressed new engine is 230 kg (507 lbs). The engine block features a crankcase architecture with stiffened construction, including a bedplate that provides a rigid and stiff carrier for the crankshaft. This in turn helps reduce overall noise from the lower reciprocating assembly and contributes to significant improvements in overall noise, vibration and harshness. Adding to the structural rigidity of the block, the two-piece aluminum oil pan has been designed to provide strength and contribute to the quietness of the engine. The lower pan has been reinforced for off-road use. Crankcase capacity is 7.7 L (2 gal). Cylinder heads are constructed of aluminum and feature a chain-driven, dual overhead-camshaft design with four valves per cylinder. Intake valves measure 28 mm (1.1 in), and exhaust valves are 24.5 mm (0.96 in) in diameter. Combustion-chamber volume is 24.68 cm3 (1.51 in3). A forged-steel crankshaft is supported by four main bearing journals fitted with four-bolt main bearing caps incorporated into the bedplate. Externally balanced, the crankshaft measures 442.2 mm (17.41 in), reducing the overall packaging requirements of the engine. Connecting rods, with an overall length of 162.9 mm (6.41 in), are constructed of cast iron. Lightweight, cast-aluminum pistons are redesigned to provide minimal friction. The compression ratio of the new diesel engine is now 16.5:1, reduced from 18.1:1 on the previous model, contributing to cleaner combustion and providing more power. All main bearings are a "lead free" design for reduced environmental impact during construction and later recycling of the engine. Engine Performance Features The induction system includes swirl control to optimize combustion. Fitted between the intake system and the combustion chamber, the swirl control effectively provides an ideal air/fuel mixture at all levels of engine speed. Precise fuel delivery is through a 1,800-bar common-rail fuel-injection system. Thanks to the new MultiJet II technology, which makes use of a special balanced solenoid valve, the new injector is capable of making up to 8 injection per cycle with the possibility of managing the two main injections in a single modular profile (IRS - Injection Rate Shaping) thus guaranteeing a reduction in consumption and polluting emissions of approximately 2% compared to a traditional injector and ensuring a drastic reduction in noise levels. The new 3.0-liter diesel engine utilizes a single Garrett VGT 2056 turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. Compact and lightweight, the turbocharger provides near-instant response and includes an air-to-air intercooler. Fuel Economy and Emissions Fuel economy for the Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine is rated at 10.3 L/100 km on the urban cycle and 7.2 L/100 km on the extra-urban cycle. For the combined cycle, the fuel economy is rated at 8.3 L/100 km. The engine is designed to run on EN590 ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel. For this engine, cast-iron exhaust manifolds are utilized. Additional emissions controls include a close-coupled diesel oxidation catalyst and standard diesel particulate filter. Euro 5 emissions are met through an exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) system that includes an EGR valve with DC motor and a high-performance EGR cooler with bypass valve. CO2 emissions are reduced to 270 g/km for the urban cycle and 188 g/km for the extra-urban cycle. Combined-cycle CO2 emissions are now 218 g/km.
Among all of the many new 2014 Jeep® Grand Cherokee features, two in particular contribute to vastly improved fuel economy and driving performance: a new, clean, 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine and a new eight-speed automatic transmission. The result: Jeep has taken the most awarded SUV in history and raised the benchmark even further, achieving fuel economy up to 30 miles per gallon (mpg) in EcoDiesel form, and improved fuel economy, drivability and overall performance across the Grand Cherokee lineup. Producing a class-leading 240 horsepower and massive 420 lb.-ft. of torque, the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel is capable of towing 7,400 pounds - more than any competitor's V-8 equipped SUVs. With a 30-percent increase in fuel economy and a 56-percent increase in torque versus the Pentastar V-6 engine, the EcoDiesel achieves 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway in 4x2 models. This allows for a best-in-class driving range of more 730 miles. Full-time 4x4 models have fuel economy figures of 20 city and 28 highway. The new, 50-state legal, clean 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine produces low CO2 emissions. MultiJet II common-rail injection and Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) help this new engine achieve these results. The 24-valve, dual-overhead-cam engine features a block and bed plate crafted from strong compacted graphite iron (CGI), which contributes to stiffness without penalizing performance. The clean 3.0-liter EcoDiesel's 60-degree cylinder banks enable more efficient packaging, while effectively balancing the potent inertia generated by torque-rich diesels. Driver and passengers alike can expect a smooth, quiet ride on any journey. The new engine's 1-4-2-5- 3-6 firing order helps manage rotation so neatly it needs no balance shaft to deliver the level of refinement for which the Grand Cherokee is known. Further contributing to quieter performance, as well as optimal fuel economy and emissions reduction, is the clean diesel's common-rail fuel-injection system. Its 29,000-psi (2,000-bar) pressure is unmatched by any solenoid-based system. Swirl-control intake ports benefit from a variable-geometry turbocharger and intercooler that ensure the required engine response, whether merging on-road or surging off-road. Temperature extremes are also addressed. The new engine's turbo is water-cooled to handle searing heat, while low-voltage ceramic glow plugs accommodate quicker cold-weather starts. Other key features and benefits include:
The 3.6-liter V-6 engine, part of Chrysler-s $3.6 billion powertrain offensive, is introduced for the first time in the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The more fuel efficient V-6 engine features 11 percent improved fuel economy, 33 percent improved horsepower, 11 percent improved torque. Environmental-friendly design: lead-free engine, recyclable oil filter element with no-spill removable feature. "The engine team went out and benchmarked the best in V6s - your Toyotas and Hondas. Found all the elements from each of them to come up with the best V6," said Matt Nyquist, Jeep Product Planning. "The all-new Pentastar is the most advanced six-cylinder engine Chrysler has ever offered," said Bob Lee, Vice President - Powertrain Product Team. "This new family of engines uses an architecture conceived with future technology growth and integration in mind." The all-new 3.6-liter V-6 engine is an all-new design featuring double-overhead camshafts (DOHC) and a high-pressure die-cast aluminum cylinder block in a 60-degree configuration. "Our all-new engine delivers better performance and the capability Jeep customers demand." Similar to what we did with the HEMI® engine, our engineers used the best combination of design features and technologies to create an engine that satisfies customer requirements". "The elegantly simple design maximizes the functionality of each design element rather than adding technology to claim a feature. The result gives our customers everything they demand from an engine today - class-leading levels of refinement, fuel-efficiency, performance and cost of ownership." The 3.6-liter V-6 engine design features a double-overhead cam (DOHC) and high-flow intake and exhaust ports, which in combination with VVT via dual independent cam phasing, allows optimum volumetric and combustion efficiency over the full speed and load range. This results in an exceptional, flat torque curve along with high specific power. The engine's torque exceeds 90 percent of its peak value from 1,600 to 6,400 rpm, which provides customers with outstanding drivability and responsiveness. The all-new 3.6-liter V-6 engine will deliver 290 horsepower (216 kW) at 6,350 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. (353 N-m) of torque at 4,300 rpm, an increase of 38 percent in horsepower and 11 percent in torque over its predecessor, while providing customers up to an 11 percent improvement in fuel economy. The Pentastar V-6 is designed to run on regular gasoline, offering a 10 percent reduction in fuel cost compared with premium fueled engines. The engine also is flex-fuel capable, offering consumers the choice of gasoline or E85 fuel. An environmental-friendly oil filter system with optional integrated oil cooler is used to help protect the environment via incineration of the filter element. The use of long-life spark plugs and a high-energy coil-on-plug ignition system also helps reduce cost of ownership. Refinement was a key objective for every component during the design phase of the engine and was achieved by utilizing advanced computer-aided engineering techniques. Structural, intake and exhaust areas of the engine are designed to deliver low levels of overall noise and achieve specific sound quality goals that meet discerning customer requirements. The result is a refined engine in all applications. Idle quality refinement is improved due to use of the dual independent cam phasing. In developing the Jeep Grand Cherokee's all-new 3.6L V6 engine, reliability and quality are assured via extensive validation testing. More than 3.3 million customer equivalent miles were accrued on engine dynamometers prior to production. Test severity was increased by 50% versus previous Chrysler V6 engines in order to accommodate high load applications such as trailer-towing.
The HEMI's new VVT improves fuel economy under some conditions in two ways. First, it reduces the engine's pumping work by closing the intake valve later. Second, it increases the expansion process of the combustion event. This allows more work to be transferred to the crankshaft instead of being rejected out of the exhaust port as heat. Essentially, VVT optimizes engine breathing, which improves engine efficiency and power. The fuel-saving MDS system seamlessly alternates between smooth, high- fuel-economy four-cylinder mode when less power is needed, and V-8 mode when more power from the new 5.7-liter HEMI engine is in demand. An expanded MDS operating range in the new-for-2009 HEMI will allow customers to realize an even-greater fuel economy benefit. When MDS is operating, it is indicated by the fuel-economy- mode readout in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center. For the 2011 model year, the 5.7L produces increased power and torque over the previous model, delivering 360 horsepower (268 kW) and 390 lb.-ft. of torque (520 N-m) @ 4,250 rpm and features Variable-valve Timing (VVT) and fuel-saving MDS technology with dual exhaust to maximize efficiency - 14 city / 20 hwy-2WD and 13 city / 19 hwy-4WD (estimated EPA Fuel Economy mpg).
The 6.4L HEMI eight-cylinder SRT high performance engine is a 90° V-Type, deep skirt, lightweight cast iron block with aluminum heads, single cam, overhead valves, and hydraulic roller lifters. The heads incorporate splayed valves with a hemispherical style combustion chamber and dual spark plugs. The cylinders are numbered from front to rear; 1, 3, 5, 7 on the left bank and 2, 4, 6, 8 on the right bank. The firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. The 6.4L HEMI engine is a bored and stroked version of the 5.7L HEMI engine developed for SRT high performance vehicles. This engine shares the same architecture as the 2009 5.7L HEMI with the following Performance Upgrades:
Powering the 2012-up Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is Chrysler Group's all-new 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 with Fuel Saver Technology that delivers 470 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque - an improvement of 50 horsepower and 45 lb.-ft. torque over the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 it replaces. The newest HEMI engine in the SRT product lineup provides an additional 90 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,900 rpm versus the previous 6.1-liter V-8 engine. An active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft with cam phasing delivers maximum low-end torque while optimizing high-end power across a wider and improved rpm band. Specifically, 90-percent of peak torque is available between 2,800 and 6,000 rpm, allowing for inspired standing starts and improved straight-line performance. Standard Fuel Saver Technology and a new-for-2012 active valve exhaust system allows four-cylinder operation to engage over a wider rpm range, to deliver both improved fuel efficiency - an estimated 13-percent increase on the highway - and an extended range of approximately 450 miles on one tank of gas. Of course, even SRT owners sometimes appreciate driving more fuel efficiently. For those times, the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT features an innovative Eco Mode that optimizes the transmission's shift schedule and expands the range of Fuel Saver Technology, which - when conditions are right - deactivates four cylinders to conserve fuel. Eco Mode is available in Selec-Track auto mode. Throttle mapping, transmission shift schedules and Fuel Saving Technology work in combination to achieve maximum fuel efficiency. |

The 6.4L engine is equipped with Variable Valve Timing (VVT). This system uses an Oil Control Valve (OCV) to direct oil pressure to the camshaft phaser assembly. The camshaft phaser assembly advances and/or retards camshaft timing to improve engine performance, mid-range torque, idle quality, fuel economy and reduce emissions. The OCV is located under the intake manifold. The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) assembly is actuated with engine oil pressure. The oil flow to the VVT assemblies are controlled by an Oil Control Valve (OCV). The OCV consist of a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) solenoid and a spool valve. The PCM actuates the OCV to control oil flow through the spool valve into the VVT assemblies. The VVT assembly consists of a rotor, stator, and sprocket (Phaser). The stator is connected to the timing chain through the sprocket. The rotor is connected to the camshaft. Oil flow in to the VVT assembly rotates the rotor with respect to the stator, thus rotating the exhaust camshaft with respect to the timing chain and intake camshaft. An infinitely variable valve timing position can be achieved within the limits of the hardware. The CMP monitors the position of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft and provides feedback to the PCM. |
