Cada jueves José Lagunar, de AUTOFM, participa en las mañanas de Onda Cero junto a Agustín Bravo, Sofía Menéndez y Sergio Alberto en el programa Más de uno Madrid Sur. La DGT acaba de presentar, junto con la Asociación Española de la Carretera (AEC), una guía pionera para afrontar un problema que no deja de crecer: la siniestralidad vial con implicación de animales. Solo en 2024 se registraron 36.087 siniestros de este tipo en España, lo que supone casi un tercio de los accidentes en vías interurbanas y el doble que hace una década. Aunque su gravedad media es baja —solo en el 1,5 % hubo víctimas, con 8 fallecidos y 58 heridos hospitalizados— su frecuencia es muy alta y compromete la seguridad y la eficiencia del sistema viario. El 88 % de los casos se producen en carreteras convencionales y el 98 % son atropellos a animales; alrededor del 1 % responde a salidas de vía por maniobras evasivas. La fauna silvestre está detrás del 86 % de los siniestros, con el jabalí (42 %) y el corzo (32 %) a la cabeza, seguidos de los canes (8 %). Territorialmente, los mayores niveles de incidencia se concentran en la España despoblada y la España Verde, destacando Galicia, Castilla y León y Castilla-La Mancha, con picos en otoño e invierno. La guía “Siniestralidad vial con implicación de animales”, encargada por la DGT a la AEC, recopila datos, experiencias nacionales e internacionales y evalúa la eficacia de las medidas disponibles, con el objetivo de ofrecer a los gestores de infraestructuras una herramienta práctica, alineada con la Estrategia de Seguridad Vial 2030, para diagnosticar, priorizar y actuar allí donde más impacto puede tener cada euro invertido. Un eje clave del documento es la definición y despliegue de los TEFIVA (Tramos con Especial Frecuencia de Incidentes Viales con Animales): segmentos de al menos 1 km que, en los últimos 5 años, han registrado ≥10 incidentes con fauna de cierto tamaño y al menos un siniestro con víctimas. En 2023 se identificaron 150 TEFIVA en la Red de Carreteras del Estado, con 205 km (el 0,8 % de la red) que concentraron 3.200 incidentes, el 21 % de los accidentes con víctimas por fauna en dicha red. Estos tramos ya están señalizados y se proponen como referencia común para que el resto de administraciones homogeneicen criterios. La DGT, además, integrará los TEFIVA en su plataforma DGT 3.0 dentro de una prueba piloto: la idea es que navegadores y sistemas ADAS puedan alertar en tiempo real al conductor cuando se aproxime a una zona de riesgo por presencia de fauna. Es un salto cualitativo hacia una seguridad vial conectada y predictiva, donde la tecnología ayuda a anticipar decisiones y reducir el peligro. El informe organiza las medidas disponibles en cinco grandes bloques: intervenciones sobre el conductor (señalización, avisos, gestión de la velocidad); actuaciones sobre la fauna (disuasión, control poblacional, vallados selectivos); separación física (cerramientos, barreras, bermas desbrozadas); permeabilidad ecológica (pasos de fauna, ecoductos, drenajes adaptados) y otras iniciativas complementarias (uso de big data, criterios aseguradores, proyectos de I+D). Cada actuación se clasifica y valora técnicamente para ayudar a seleccionar qué funciona mejor, dónde y a qué coste. España se sitúa alineada con las mejores prácticas internacionales, similares a las aplicadas en EE. UU., Canadá, Australia, Japón, Alemania o Francia. Aunque no existe una norma europea única, la Comisión Europea ha cofinanciado proyectos que promueven conectividad ecológica y seguridad vial, marco en el que encaja la estrategia española. Entre las recomendaciones centrales, la guía llama a monitorizar periódicamente las especies más implicadas y las zonas críticas; reforzar y unificar la recogida de datos (DGT, Guardia Civil, CC. AA., policías locales, organismos medioambientales); y potenciar la coordinación intersectorial (ámbitos viario, ambiental, asegurador, tecnológico, cinegético y científico), también con Francia y Portugal. Además, pide evaluar con rigor la efectividad de cada medida e impulsar redes de conocimiento que permitan escalar las soluciones que demuestren resultados. Los próximos pasos pasan por la aplicación efectiva de la guía por los gestores, la ampliación del modelo TEFIVA a más redes viarias, el despliegue de avisos en tiempo real a los conductores y campañas específicas de prevención. La meta es clara: reducir un problema de baja letalidad pero altísima frecuencia que congestiona recursos, encarece la movilidad y compromete la seguridad; hacerlo, además, sin sacrificar la conectividad ecológica, integrando biodiversidad e infraestructura en una misma ecuación de seguridad vial sostenible.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1095: Volvo takes a $1.2B charge as EV costs and tariffs bite. Nissan shifts gears in Mississippi, shelving EV plans in favor of SUVs and pickups. And Ford steps up in Texas, donating $1.25M and deploying people and vehicles to aid flood victims.Nissan's $500M investment to build five EVs in Canton has stalled amid political uncertainty and loss of U.S. tax credits. The automaker is eyeing SUVs and pickups to keep the lights on.With EV plans delayed, Nissan is pivoting to body-on-frame vehicles, potentially doubling Canton's output with models like the Armada and Infiniti QX80.A return of the rugged Xterra is also on the table — this time as a hybrid SUV riding on the Frontier truck platform.The shift could revive a plant running at half capacity and counter rising tariffs on imports from Japan.Nissan is even exploring a “what if” collaboration with Honda to build pickups, but one source called it “pie in the sky at this stage.”Volvo Cars is taking a $1.2 billion charge in Q2 as it battles rising costs, tariffs, launch delays tied to its electric vehicle lineup and reduced profitability on two electric models, the EX90 SUV and ES90 sedan.The EX90 began production in June in South Carolina, but saw over a year of delays due to software issues and is launching without key features like lidar, ADAS tools, and bidirectional charging.The China-built ES90 sedan isn't faring better—tariffs in the U.S. and EU have made it tough to sell profitably in Volvo's key markets.The company is in the midst of deep cost-cutting, including layoffs impacting 3,000 jobs globally and 15% of its U.S. commercial staff.Volvo's U.S. sales rose 6% in the first half of 2025, but global deliveries fell 9%, highlighting uneven momentum.Ford and its dealer network are going all in to support Texans in the wake of devastating flash floods.The automaker, along with Ford Philanthropy and Texas dealers, is donating $1.25 million to local charities and disaster relief partners.Beyond dollars, Ford is supplying loaner vehicles to the American Red Cross to expand outreach in hard-hit areas.Ford's new Extended Volunteer Paid Time Off policy allows trained employees to deploy with Team Rubicon for on-the-ground disaster relief.Volunteers will also be packing food boxes for families through the North Texas Food Bank and running shelters and reunification centers.“We're standing alongside our Texas Ford Dealers… to ensure critical support gets to those who need it most,” said Elena Ford.0:00 Intro with Kyle Mountsier and Michael Cirillo0:30 Paul and Kyle were at the Beaver Golf Tournament yesterday1:40 New Auto Collabs episode with John Sacco on recycled metals2:20 Congrats to Ashley Cavazos on being the new President of WOCAN!3:55 Nissan To Pivot Canton, Mississippi PlantJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Die Koordinaten in der Autoindustrie werden dieser Tage gehörig durcheinandergewirbelt. Nissan – einst Stolz der japanischen Industrie – sucht händeringend nach Auswegen aus der zum Teil hausgemachten Krise. Eine helfende Hand könnte übers ostchinesische Meer reichen: Der taiwanesische Auftragsfertiger Foxconn will wohl Fertigungslinien in Nissans Oppama-Werk nutzen, um künftig die eigenen Elektroautos herzustellen – und damit nicht nur Arbeitsplätze bei Nissan sichern, sondern auf dem globalen E-Mobilitäts-Markt richtig Fuß fassen. Ein Unternehmen, das dort längst nicht mehr wegzudenken ist, ist BYD. Der größte E-Autobauer der Welt will jetzt auch beim autonomen Fahren durchstarten und bietet mit „God‘s Eye“ nicht nur ein den BMWs, Mercedes‘ und Teslas dieser Welt ebenbürtiges ADAS, sondern könnte auch zur echten Demokratisierung des autonomen Fahrens beitragen. Wie das gelingen kann und welche Probleme auf die etablierte Auto-Welt zukommen, besprechen Pascal und Yannick in der aktuellen Folge. Hintergrund zu einem möglichen Deal zwischen Nissan und Foxconn: https://www.automobil-produktion.de/produktion/wird-foxconn-zum-retter-fuer-nissan-werk-in-japan-439.html Foxconns Pläne für die Autoindustrie: https://www.automobil-produktion.de/management/wie-foxconn-die-elektromobilitaet-aufmischen-will-234.html BYDs God's Eye im Praxistest: https://www.automotiveit.eu/technology/autonomes-fahren/gods-eye-von-byd-im-praxistest-819.html Mehr zu Pascal und Yannick finden Sie auf LinkedIn: Pascal Nagel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-nagel/ Yannick Tiedemann: www.linkedin.com/in/yannick-tiedemann Hinweis: Die im Podcast getätigten Aussagen spiegeln die Privatmeinung der Gesprächspartner wider und entsprechen nicht zwingend den Darstellungen des jeweiligen Arbeitgebers

TEMÁTICA: “El prójimo me lleva más allá de mí”.DESCRIPCIÓN: “Somos seres relacionales, así que, aunque nuestro camino espiritual sea individual y en solitario, nuestra relación con los demás juega un papel fundamental."

Cada jueves José Lagunar, de AUTOFM, participa en las mañanas de Onda Cero junto a Agustín Bravo, Sofía Menéndez y Sergio Alberto en el programa Más de uno Madrid Sur. El Consejo de Ministros ha aprobado un Real Decreto que actualizará el catálogo oficial de señales de tráfico, la primera gran revisión desde 2003. La norma entrará en vigor el 1 de julio de 2025, pero el despliegue físico será progresivo: ayuntamientos, diputaciones y comunidades autónomas irán sustituyendo las placas cuando toque renovar la señalización dentro de sus ciclos de mantenimiento, evitando así inversiones puntuales desproporcionadas. Únicamente las señales que desaparecen del catálogo deberán retirarse en el plazo máximo de un año para garantizar la seguridad jurídica de los usuarios. ¿Por qué esta reforma? Fundamentalmente para que la señalización acompañe los profundos cambios sociales y tecnológicos de las dos últimas décadas. La irrupción de los vehículos de movilidad personal, la generalización de infraestructuras “humanizadas” o la expansión de la movilidad eléctrica reclamaban una respuesta normativa. Además, el conductor actual viaja saturado de información —navegadores, paneles LED, asistentes ADAS—, de modo que se persigue simplificar mensajes, mejorar la legibilidad de los pictogramas y eliminar toda connotación de género, en línea con la Convención de Viena sobre Señalización Vial. El nuevo catálogo incorpora señales específicas para patinetes eléctricos, carriles bici segregados y zonas de prioridad peatonal; crea pictogramas más explícitos para las carreteras 2+1 y los radares de tramo; renueva las alertas de fauna salvaje (lobo, corzo, oso), sustituye el viejo tren de carbón por un convoy de alta velocidad y añade iconos propios de la movilidad eléctrica, como los puntos de recarga o los surtidores con nuevos tipos de combustible (E10, B7, H₂). Paralelamente, se rediseña el clásico STOP —tipografía más ancha y mejor contraste—, se subrayan las prioridades en las rotondas y se ajustan tamaños y bordes reflectantes para aumentar la visibilidad nocturna y reducir el consumo de aluminio. Salen del inventario varios símbolos en desuso, como los pasos a nivel con barreras abatibles o el cruce con tranvía en calzadas donde desapareció esa infraestructura. Quienes vayan a sacarse el carné no tendrán que memorizar los nuevos gráficos de inmediato: la DGT dejará pasar, al menos, tres meses desde la entrada en vigor para que autoescuelas y editoriales actualicen sus manuales; en la práctica, las nuevas señales no aparecerán en los exámenes teóricos hasta octubre de 2025. Este intervalo pretende asegurar que los aspirantes dispongan del material formativo adecuado y no se vean penalizados por la transición. Con esta reforma, Interior y Transportes persiguen tres objetivos: mejorar la comprensión universal de la señalización y reducir siniestros derivados de interpretaciones erróneas; racionalizar la fabricación y el mantenimiento, avanzando hacia un parque de señales más sostenible; y, sobre todo, garantizar que el sistema semiótico español evolucione al ritmo de la nueva movilidad y de un espacio público cada vez más inclusivo.

What does it take to turn a military background into a thriving international franchise and help over 100 people build wealth along the way?

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingIn this episode, Matt Fanslow dives into listener-submitted questions, covering a wide range of automotive diagnostic and repair topics. From personal influences in the industry to technical advice on exhaust gas analyzers, catalytic converter testing, and ADAS calibrations, Matt shares his insights and expertise.1. Who Do You Try to Emulate?Matt reflects on the mentors and industry leaders who have shaped his approach to diagnostics and repair.TV Doctors vs. Real Mentors: While he jokes about emulating fictional doctors like Hawkeye Pierce, Gregory House, and Perry Cox, Matt credits real-world experts like John Thornton, Randy Burkholder, Jim Kemper, Matthew Ragsdale, Harvey Chan, and John Riegel for their influence.The Value of Deep Research: Matt highlights the importance of studying SAE documents, technical manuals, and foundational books like Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals by John B. Heywood.Thought Leaders in the Industry: He also mentions Jim Wilson (ScanShare.io), Scott Manna, and others for their diagnostic methodologies and problem-solving approaches.Takeaway: Success in automotive diagnostics comes from continuous learning, leveraging industry resources, and adopting best practices from experienced professionals.2. Exhaust Gas Analyzers – What to Look For?A listener asks about choosing the right exhaust gas analyzer for their shop. Matt breaks down the key features:PC/Android Interface: Essential for graphing gas readings (lambda, air-fuel ratio) over time.Portability: Needed for on-road testing to monitor performance under real driving conditions.Fast Sample Times: Look for analyzers with low transfer delays (under 5 seconds) for accurate real-time data.Cost Consideration: Expect to invest 5,000–5,000–7,000+ for a quality unit. Takeaway: A good exhaust gas analyzer should provide real-time data logging, lambda calculations, and portability for effective diagnostics.3. Testing Catalytic Converters – Temperature vs. PCM DiagnosticsA student questions the validity of using infrared thermometers to test catalytic converters after hearing conflicting advice.PCM Algorithms Are Superior: Modern vehicles use complex oxygen storage calculations—far more accurate than manual temperature checks.Why Temperature Testing Falls Short:A "bad" cat might still pass a temp test.A "good" cat might fail due to external factors (exhaust leaks, sensor issues).Best Practice: Trust OBD-II diagnostics, fuel control verification, and factory procedures over manual methods.Takeaway: Always verify fuel control, exhaust integrity, and PCM data before condemning a catalytic converter.4. ADAS Calibrations – Troubleshooting Static Windshield Camera IssuesA technician struggles with static calibrations for windshield-mounted cameras. Matt offers troubleshooting tips:Check the Windshield Glass: Aftermarket glass is a common culprit for calibration failures.Lighting Conditions:Too much LED glare? Try diffusers or dimming shop lights.Use shipping blankets to reduce reflections on the hood/dash.Target Placement: Ensure the target is positioned per OEM specs—avoid background interference.RTFM (Read the Factory Manual): Always follow OEM procedures for target setup.Takeaway: Calibration issues often stem from glass quality, lighting, or incorrect target alignment—double-check these factors first.Listener Q&A Submission: Have a question for Matt?
