Households 'need help to get warmer home'

Families in other nations receive much more help to reduce bills, the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) says. The researchers say recent UK government cuts to energy efficiency programmes are ludicrous and the opposite of whats needed. The government says it will soon announce new policies soon as part of its long-delayed Clean Growth Plan. But it would need to radically improve measures to match the support for home improvements offered in other nations. Currently its hard for anyone in the UK outside the poorest fifth of society to access public funds to help with insulation.

Fiat's 1.3 Multijet diesel to bow out by end of decade

Fiats ubiquitous 1.3-litre diesel engine will be discontinued in India with the incoming of new Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission regulations in 2020, as there are no plans to upgrade the engine to comply with the new norms. With Maruti, Fiats largest customer for this engine, and Tata Motors switching to their own, in-house-developed BS-VI diesel engines, there wont be any takers for the Fiat engine. Also, the future of Fiat itself is uncertain in India and its likely that parent company, Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) will axe the Fiat brand and concentrate its resources on making Jeep a success. Even if FCA continues to sell Fiats in India, the sales volume of under 6,000 units a year is too small to justify the huge development costs required to upgrade the Multijet from BS-IV. After we lost Maruti and Tata as a customer, we knew that would spell the end of this engine, said a company source.
