1. Por ejemplo el del jugo de manzana es :
1* The apples are picked up in the autumn.
2* They are picked up by hand.
3* Once at the factory, the fruit is washed.
4* Then it is cut into small pieces and pressed to extract the juice.
5* Sugar is added to the apple juice.
6* The apple juice is then bottled.
7* The bottles are packed into boxes and distributed to the shops.

Today, as we survey the major forces shaping the world, it seems clear the automobile is at a
significant turning point.
For more than a century, it has helped drive industrial economies around the world, provided
freedom of mobility to billions and transformed modern society. But its success in the 20th
century came at a cost: a rising number of accidents, traffic congestion, CO2 emissions and oil
dependency.
Our challenge today is to reduce and eventually eliminate these negative consequences while
bolstering the inherent benefits of clean, efficient transportation to people around the world.
I believe if we are to transform the car for a new era, we must address three major issues: safety,
the environment and affordability. But the auto companies cannot do this alone. We will need to
3. partner with one another, with governments and other industries if the car is to remain a source
of prosperity, progress and freedom.
Safety
Every day, more than 3,000 people die in auto-related accidents around the world. Ninety-one
percent of the world's road fatalities occur in lower-income countries, even though they only
account for about half of the world's vehicles.
For example, France has four times more vehicles than India, but India has 20 times more road-
related deaths.
In Europe, the number of road deaths has been
cut in half while the number of vehicles over the same period has doubled. Technologies such as
anti-lock brakes, airbags and electronic stability control have contributed the most to the
reduction in road deaths.
More technologies are being developed with the potential to eliminate auto-related fatalities.
Autonomous driving is the next step in advancing vehicle and road safety. Together, Renault and
Nissan are working on complementary technologies that can predict, detect and prevent collisions.
This more holistic approach promises maximum protection for people in and outside the car.
With the help of policy-makers providing clear regulatory oversight, these technologies could lead
to “zero fatality” roads within our lifetimes. They also promise far greater freedom of mobility for
the aged and the disabled, and will reduce the stress associated with driving in heavy traffic and
unfamiliar locations.
Environment
The transport sector represents 23 percent of the world’s total CO2 emissions, the greenhouse gas
most associated with global climate change. Fifteen years ago, the Renault-Nissan Alliance
evaluated the environmental impact of its vehicles throughout their life cycle: the greenhouse gas
effect on the climate; the impact exhaust emissions have on public health in congested urban
areas; and the impact of using scarce raw materials.
4. As a result of that evaluation, the Alliance invested more than €4 billion in zero-emissions
technologies. Today, it is the only auto group that mass produces a full line of zero-emission cars
and light commercial vehicles. Together, Renault and Nissan have sold more than 100,000 of these
vehicles worldwide – more than all of the other major automakers combined.
Other major automakers are entering the zero-emissions market, which is generating more
competition and choice for consumers.
One of society’s challenges now is to integrate these vehicles into a more efficient and cleaner
power grid by increasing, for example, hydroelectric power to replace aging coal-fired power
plants. This will require the support of local and national governments, which also need to work
with industry to integrate zero-emission vehicles into the broader transportation infrastructure.
Working together, we can ensure cars will have “zero impact” on the environment.
Affordability
In 1999, Brazil, Russia, India and China combined
had only 8 percent of the global vehicle sales volume.In 2012, these four countries alone
comprised 35 percent of the industry’s volume.
The tremendous sales growth in these markets has been due in part to automakers offering
increasingly affordable cars to first-time, cost-conscious buyers in the rapidly rising middle class.
The Alliance’s CMF-A platform, created and manufactured in India, is paving the way for a new
generation of consumers to experience the freedom and mobility of personal transportation.
We should not forget the important role the automobile has played in driving economic growth
and freedom of mobility for more than 100 years. If today’s global automotive industry was a
country, it would be the world’s sixth largest economy – greater than the GDP of Brazil – and
account for more than 50 million jobs.
Our challenge is to ensure the automobile remains a vehicle for progress and prosperity around
the world well into the 21st century.
In partnership with other automakers, industries and governments, we have the capability to
reinvent the car for a new era, to provide sustainable mobility for all.
