Technology is playing an increasingly important part in today's automotive industry, but the market relies more on people than anything else. There is a concern that new technologies may lead to job losses while finding the right people for the vacancies is becoming increasingly difficult. Autovista24 editor Phil Curry and deputy editor Tom Geggus discuss the automotive skills crisis.

Electric-vehicle (EV) incentives appear to have been a resounding success in many European countries.

The automotive world has seen numerous safety milestones. Seatbelts, airbags, and crumple zones have all helped protect lives. But why stop at reactive measures when proactive capabilities might help prevent collisions? Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) look to promise just that.

The European Union (EU) is drafting new legislation, titled ‘Fit for 55' that will see an effective ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2035. The regulations recently cleared a big hurdle with the European Parliament's environment committee backing the plans. But what do the regulations mean for the automotive industry, and what impact might they have? Autovista24's Phil Curry and Tom Geggus discuss the proposals.

Vehicle particulates do not just come from the emission system. Tyres also create fine particles that can affect the environment, cause air pollution and create health problems. Yet unlike emissions, there is no easy way to manage tyre particulates. Autovista24 editor Phil Curry and deputy editor Tom Geggus discuss the problem with particulates, the role of electric vehicles, and solutions the automotive industry is working on.

Car companies are on a mission to lower the carbon emissions of their vehicles. But simply swapping out internal-combustion engines (ICEs) is not enough. The entire vehicle lifecycle must be considered. This includes the design, material sourcing, manufacturing, recycling, and time on the road. Autovista24 journalist Rebeka Shaid, editor Phil Curry, and deputy editor Tom Geggus discuss the green efforts of car companies.

As the automotive industry embraces electric vehicles (EVs) and new car technologies, OEMs are constantly developing their electrification plans. Targets and deadlines for electrified cars, connected-car systems, and autonomous vehicles are shifting on a yearly basis as OEMs prepare to introduce new powertrains. Autovista24 deputy editor Tom Geggus, and editor Phil Curry, cover the latest developments of Stellantis, Hyundai and Kia.

With Russia escalating its aggression towards Ukraine into an invasion, severe sanctions are inevitable. Depending on how the situation plays out in the coming weeks or months, the European automotive market will see an impact as well. In this special episode, Autovista24 editor Phil Curry, Autovista Group chief economist Christof Engelskirchen, and Autovista Group director of valuations Roland Strilka discuss the possible scenarios for the industry.

Europe's big five new-car markets are forecast to be at least 7% smaller in 2025 than in 2019. Meanwhile, used-car markets look set to exceed pre-pandemic sales levels in 2022, but by how much?

Electrically-chargeable vehicle numbers are growing in Europe. While this offers a number of benefits, it also raises various challenges for governments, workers and drivers. The Autovista24 team discusses some of the most pressing issues caused by electrification.

For years, motorsport has been considered a crucible where carmakers and suppliers alike can test new technology and components before putting them into road-going vehicles. But as the automotive industry advances rapidly with new innovations, is racing as important for research?

Personalised emotive paintwork, 1,000km electrified range, and swarm-enabled autonomy were just some of the innovations on display at CES 2022.

COP26 drew the world's attention as governments, environmental groups and industry gurus decided the best way to tackle climate change. On 13 November, an agreement was finally reached, with a last-minute change in wording to phase down, rather than phase out the use of unabated coal. But what does this, and other COP26 arrangements mean for the automotive industry and its sustainability efforts?
