Todos los coches japoneses, indistintamente de su marca, tienen virtudes comunes: Buena calidad de fabricación, tecnología avanzada y estética moderna… Esto no quiere decir que todas sean iguales. Os aseguro que, como en otros países, cada marca tiene su propia personalidad… la pregunta es, ¿cuál es mejor? Por cierto, al final os hago una reflexión sobre el coche eléctrico… No vamos a poder hablar de todas las marcas japonesas porque todas… son muchas. Todo el Mundo se acuerda de las más grandes y conocidas, como puede ser Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota y subsidiaria Lexus… Algunas no son tan grandes, pero por un motivo u otro son también muy conocidas. Sería el caso de Honda, que además es grande, pero que es la número 1 en el Mundo de la moto, con multitud de éxitos deportivos muchas veces ligados a pilotos españoles. La imagen de la moto en este caso favorece a los coches. Por parecido motivo es conocida en España, Subaru a pesar de ser una marca relativamente modesta… no, no hace motos, pero sí tuvo a un piloto español corriendo con sus coches el Mundial de Rallyes, por supuesto, al extraordinario Carlos Sainz. Otro caso es el de Suzuki, una marca “Simpática” como comentamos en un vídeo, y también muy ligada a España porque se fabricó aquí, como Nissan, por cierto. Y ambas eran y siguen siendo muy conocidas por sus modelos de TT y ahora, como no, por sus SUV. Y también es bastante conocida Mazda, una marca por comparación a otros modesta, pero que siempre ha destacado por su calidad y con un modelo, el MX5, que se ha convertido en un icono y en el descapotable más vendido de la historia. Además de las citadas hay más. Sin ánimo de ser exhaustivo faltarían Acura, Daihatsu, Infiniti, Isuzu y Mitsuoka, sin olvidar a Kubota e Hino, que hacen furgonetas, camiones y maquinaria en general. Ya hemos dicho que no vamos a hablar de todas… he decidido elegir a las TRES que considero no más importantes ni mejores, sino de mayor personalidad y con unos valores más propios y destacados. Me da mucha pena no contar en nuestra semifinal con Nissan y Mitsubishi. He tenido coches de ambas marcas, aunque confieso que en mi caso me dio mucho mejor resultado el Nissan que el “Mitsu”. También se quedan fuera dos marcas con mucha personalidad, pero no pasan el “corte” por ser pequeñas en comparación a las finalistas y porque, de alguna manera, están parcialmente a la sombra de una grande…. una grande no, la más grande, como es Toyota. Hablo de Subaru, una marca que en cierto momento yo me atrevía a comparar con Saab en el sentido que decía que eran coches “para los que saben de coches”. Ahora incluso parte del accionariado es de Toyota. Y otra que se queda fuera es mi querida Suzuki, no solo por su tamaño sino por su gama, muy reducida en comparación a las más grandes… Honda: Tecnológicos y refinados. Siempre digo lo mismo: Honda es una empresa en la que la tecnología es lo primero. Tiene una forma especial de hacer las cosas, de buscas soluciones ingeniosas y distintas a los problemas de siempre, como fue el caso del VTEC. Y otro rasgo es su refinamiento en el sentido más amplio. Y estéticamente es para mí una de las marcas japonesas con más personalidad, algo que sabéis que valoro mucho… Y eso que con la llegada de los SUV todas las marcas están “banalizando” la estética… pero el Civic sigue siendo reconocible a cientos de metros… algo que no se puede decir de todos los coches. Mazda: La sorpresa. Me lo he pensado mucho antes de incluir a la “pequeña” Mazda dejando fuera a Nissan, entre otras… Muchos me diréis que lo hago porque me gusta esta marca… y es cierto. Pero pretendo que el aficionado que hay en mí no despiste al profesional que espero tener dentro. He puesto a Mazda porque creo que consigue algo muy difícil: Hacer lo mismo que los demás, pero mejor. Es una de las marcas japonesas que más fidelidad despierta, en un consumidor como el español, muy poco fiel a las marcas de coches y de cualquier otra cosa. Su apuesta por seguir desarrollando los motores térmicos con su tecnología SkyActiv cuando muchas marcas, sobre todo europeas, lo apostaban todo al eléctrico, se ha mostrado un acierto… le pese a quien le pese. Toyota: No enamora, pero convence. Un amigo se compró un Toyota por consejo mío… era un Toyota 4Ranner, el modelo de 1994. La verdad es que se fiaba tanto de mí que se lo compró sin estar muy convencido. Y luego me confesó: “Cada día que pasa, cada mes, cada año, estoy más contento con mi coche”. Toyota es el fabricante número 1 de Mundo, ha sabido crear Lexus, ha inventado el coche híbrido y su calidad y fiabilidad está siempre entre las mejores… cuando no es la mejor. No son los coches más bonitos ni con más personalidad del Mundo… seguro… pero no se puede querer todo.

Si preguntas a cualquier aficionado por los mejores TT de la historia la mayoría, te van a responder que el Jeep o el Land Rover Defender. Si insistes para que se esfuercen un poco más puede que respondan que el Mercedes G. Y si insistes más puede que aparezca el primer japones, seguramente el Land Cruiser… ¿Y si te digo que los mejores TT de la historia son los japoneses? #coches #cochesclasicos #todoterreno Conviértete en miembro de este canal para disfrutar de ventajas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBG3pvXhocK7_GjeIx2sUeg/join Y es que se dice que los japoneses comenzaron copiando… y no es verdad. Mejor dicho, es una “media-verdad”. Porque la verdad completa es que comenzaron copiando ¡y mejorando! Los productos sobre todo europeos y también americanos. El honor de ser el primer todo terreno con el criterio actual, el que popularizo el concepto y lo hizo universal, fue el Jeep… eso es innegable. Así que Toyota, cuando quiso hacer un TT copio al Jeep… Esto te lo contamos en el video monográfico que hicimos titulado “Land Cruiser: Mejor que el original”. A mí me encanta el Jeep Wrangler, el sucesor en línea directa del inicial Jeep, pero te hago una pregunta: Si te dan a elegir entre un Wrangler y un Land Cruiser, ¿cuál te quedas? Yo lo tengo claro… De un modo u otro todas o casi todas las marcas japonesas, en algún momento de su historia, han tenido coche de TT, pero cuatro han conseguido hacer modelos icónicos de todo terreno. Estas marcas son cuatro: Mitsubishi, Nissan, Suzuki y Toyota. No me olvido de Isuzu o Daihatsu, Subaru, Honda, Infinity y Lexus, que han tenido modelos de TT o con ciertas cualidades TT y dos, Mazda y Acura, no han hecho guiños a este sector… ahora, por cierto, de capa caída. El sector, no la marcas. Así que no cabe esperar que lo hagan en el futuro. En este vñideo te contamos la historia de cómo nacieron los TT japoneses. Pero ahora toca hablar de los “Cuatro Magníficos” que para mí serían el Mitsubishi Pajero-Montero, el Nissan Patrol, el Suzuki Jimny y el Toyota Land Cruiser. Mitsubishi Montero: Refinado. El Pajero, en España llamado Montero por razones obvias, nació en 1982 pero en mi caso conocí este modelo cuanto llegó a España la segunda generación, nacida en 1991. ¡Que coche más bonito! Pero además de bonito y muy bien hecho era refinado técnicamente. Contó por primera vez con una tracción total muy sofisticada denominada “Super Select” que, a baja velocidad, podía llegar a bloquear todos los diferenciales. Las suspensiones eran muy eficientes con una combinación perfecta entre campo y carretera Y en cuanto a motores… ¡que motores! Los turbodiésel con intercooler de 2,5 y 2,8 litros y 99 y 125 CV respectivamente, eran una maravilla. Pero, ¡qué decir del V6! Su versión tope de gama, con 24 válvulas y 3,5 litros ofrecía 208 CV y un comportamiento a bajas vueltas intachable. Desgraciadamente, el Montero desapareció en el año 2021… ¡una pena! Nissan Patrol. Un verdadero lujo. Este modelo nace en 1951, pero cuando el Nissan Patrol se comenzó a fabricar en España en 1983 en su tercera generación, la única referencia que teníamos de coche de TT eran los Santana, de verdad, más próximos al lujo de un camión o un tractor que a un coche de turismo. El Patrol iba muy bien en campo, pero no tan bien como el Santana. Pero, fuera del campo, incluso por caminos, pero sobre todo en asfalto… era otro nivel. Por calidad de acabados, sonoridad, calidad general e incluso equipamiento, podemos hablar de verdadero lujo. Nunca fue tan refinado como el Montero, pero a cambio, si fue más barato. Tiene video propio titulado “Nissan Patrol: El coche que cambió el TT”. Suzuki Jimny. Simpático y asequible. También hicimos un video monográfico del Jimny titulado “Suzuki Jimny, el mito resucita”. No he podido decidirme a poner solo un adjetivo, porque me parece relevante que el Suzuki siempre ha sido un coche mucho más modesto que los demás japoneses, pero también mucho más asequible. Pero siempre he asociado la marca Suzuki a los coches simpáticos, a los coches que “caen bien” y creo que esto se debe, en gran parte, al menos en España, a este modelo, que invento el concepto TT “de ocio”. Toyota Land Cruiser. Robustez. No me declaro fan de Toyota, porque en ocasiones me han parecido coches con cierta falta de capacidad de seducción. Fan quizás no, pero admirador sin duda, porque es una marca con ideas claras y que hace las cosas muy bien… como es el caso del este modelo. Este modelo nace en 1951 como una copia del Jeep, pero no ha dejado de mejorar, de buscar una personalidad propia, ha destacado por su robustez, pero también por ser un modelo en según qué versiones casi de lujo, pero también apto como modelo de trabajo e incluso militar. ¡Uy! es que cuando las cosas se hacen bien todos, desde los adinerados caprichosos a los militares, con capaces de apreciarlo.

El mundo del motor es un mundo lleno de leyendas y, como no, de leyendas “negras” que afectan a muchos modelos. Pero la pregunta es ¿cuánto hay de verdad en ello? Pues vamos a verlo… porque hay de todo. He elegido estás 10 porque me han parecido las más interesantes, algunas por ser muy conocidas, algunas por ser verdaderas y algunas… por ser falsas, muy falsas… Vamos con ellas. 1. BMW 323i, fabricante de viudas. Muchos coches, por distintos motivos, se han ganado la fama de “fabricante de viudas” como este BMW 323i de la serie E30, fabricada entre 1982 y 1994. ¿Los motivos? El primero es obvio: ¡No había nada de electrónica salvadora! Segundo, hablamos de un modelo de propulsión posterior, con relativamente poco peso en el tren trasero y potente. Porque 150 CV en 1982 y para apenas 1.100 kg, eran caballos. Y tercero, el motor 2,3 litros de 6 cilindros no tenía muchos bajos y necesitaba ir alto de vueltas para ofrecer su mejor rendimiento. Pero considero que en este caso la leyenda negra es… ¡FALSA! 2. Citroën DS, “golpe de raqueta”. Soy fan absoluto, ya lo sabéis, de la suspensión hidroneumática… pero en una de sus primeras aplicaciones, en el DS, no todo era perfecto. Los DS en los saltos, aunque fueran unos instantes los momentos en que la rueda no tocaba el suelo, en vez de minimiza el salto, lo incrementaban… un efecto que se dio en llamar “golpe de raqueta”, porque era como si dieses un raquetazo al coche por abajo. Así que, en este caso, esta leyenda negra es… ¡VERDADERA! 3. Daihatsu Terios. ¡Peligroso! En 1998 Daihatsu quiso hacer un SUV, ¡cómo no! pequeño y asequible. Y diseño el Terios… más bien lo perpetró. Porque es una marca por la que tengo simpática, pero hacer un coche de más de 1,7 m de alto y menos, bastante menos de 1,6 metros de ancho… no puede salir bien. Así que, esta leyenda negra es… ¡VERDADERA! 4. Fiat Ritmo Diesel: Se caía el motor. En 1980 Fiat lanza el Fiat Ritmo con motor Diesel, un motor de 1.7 litros y 55 CV que había sido usado en el Fiat 132, pero colocando longitudinalmente. Los soportes del motor en la cuna del bastidor, los famosos “silentblocks” se deterioraban rápidamente de forma que desaparecían y el motor se “caía” … Conozco dos casos, así que esta leyenda negra es… ¡¡¡VERDADERA!!! 5. Ford Escort Cabrio, chasis “flexible”. Se dice que el bastidor del Ford Escort Cabrio, el de la tercera generación aparecido alrededor de 1985, tenía el chasis de “goma”, que se retorcía fácilmente. En este caso, la leyenda negra es… ¡VERDADERA! 6. Ford Pinto: “Ardiente”. Henry Ford II quería un coche barato y asequible. Y lo quería ya. Y en 1971, diseñado a toda prisa, nace el Ford Pinto. Las prisas nunca son buenas. Y un periodista norteamericano denunció que en caso de impacto trasero el Ford Pinto era proclive a incendiarse… la marca lo desmintió. Luego se supo que esta denuncia era absolutamente cierta y que Ford lo sabía. O sea, que esta leyenda negra es… ¡¡¡VERDADERA!!! 7. Lancia Thema Ferrari, ¡inconducible! Este coche era casi desconocido para los no-aficionados… hasta el accidente del jugador de baloncesto Fernando Martín, una celebridad a finales de los 80 en España. Lo contamos con detalle en nuestro reciente vídeo de “Coches “asesinos””. En este caso, esta leyenda negra es… ¡FALSA! 8. Porsche 911, lastrado. Cuando nació el Porsche 911 tenía un comportamiento del tren delantero errático y delicado… el drama era que el 356, el modelo “viejo” al que el 911 sustituía iba mejor. Dieron muchas vueltas al asunto … y lo resolvieron. ¿Cómo? Colocando dos lastres de 11 kg cada uno en el paragolpes delantero… tecnología “refinada” ... Esto trato de ocultarse, pero esta leyenda negra es… ¡¡¡VERDADERA!!! 9. Reliant Regal… ¡Patas arriba! Este es uno de los modelos nacidos cuando la normativa de Gran Bretaña ofrecía ventajas fiscales a los coches de 3 ruedas… una forma como otra cualquiera de fomentar que se hagan coches malos y peligrosos. Así que, sin duda, esta leyenda negra es ¡VERDADERA! 10. R5 GT “Turbo” … ¡Que entra el turbo! - “Llegué a una curva, me entró de repente el turbo y me salí de la calzada”. - “Iba por ciudad y al frenar me entro el turbo y me choque con el coche de delante… ¡y eso que llevaba el punto muerto!”. - “Aceleré solo un poco y el coche salió disparado hacia adelante… y me estrellé con el guardarraíl”. Estas son frases reales. Es cierto que el R5 Turbo tenía dos pecados. El primero, muy turbo, es que la respuesta al acelerador, a igual presión, no era siempre la misma. Pero el mayor pescado era ofrecer a un precio muy interesante un coche con un nivel de prestaciones nunca visto. Su relación precio/prestaciones era imbatible en su época. Y lo ponía al alcance de conductores no muy expertos… Así que en este caso podemos decir que la leyenda negra del GT Turbo es… ¡FALSA!

Đầu tháng 06/2024, thông tin về vụ bê bối gian lận của ngành sản xuất xe hơi Nhật Bản lan tràn trên khắp các mặt báo. Hàng loạt các hãng xe lớn bị réo tên, từ Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Yamaha đến Suzuki. Lãnh đạo các doanh nghiệp cũng ngay lập tức tham gia họp báo và gửi lời xin lỗi đến khách hàng. Thoạt nghe, nhiều người không khỏi hoan nghênh tinh thần dám nhận sai và dám sửa sai của các công ty. Nhưng chỉ khi đi vào phân tích hàm ý sâu xa của mỗi lời xin lỗi, người ta mới thấy đằng sau những cái cúi đầu nhận lỗi lại là văn hóa đổ lỗi của các doanh nghiệp.Toàn cảnh vụ bê bối gian lận Vụ bê bối bắt đầu bị phanh phui từ cuối tháng 12 năm 2023 khi một hội đồng độc lập đã tiến hành điều tra các vấn đề an toàn liên quan đến 64 mẫu xe của Daihatsu. Theo hội đồng này, Daihatsu, công ty con của Toyota đã gian lận trong các cuộc kiểm tra an toàn va chạm bên hông được thực hiện với 88.000 chiếc xe, hầu hết được bán dưới tên Toyota. Nhưng sau đó, theo Reuters, đi sâu vào điều tra, hội đồng này tiết lộ rằng phạm vi của vụ bê bối đi xa hơn nhiều so với những gì họ ước tính trước đó và phát hiện ra là Daihatsu đã làm giả hồ sơ kiểm tra an toàn va chạm từ những năm 1980 như kiểm tra kích hoạt hệ thống túi khí. Đây cũng chính là điểm khởi đầu cho một loạt điều tra sau đó của chính phủ Nhật nhắm vào các doanh nghiệp sản xuất ô tô của nước này. Theo trang Nikkei Asia, bộ Giao Thông Nhật Bản đã yêu cầu 85 công ty trong lĩnh vực sản xuất xe hơi và phụ tùng tự điều tra về những bất thường trong những đăng ký chứng nhận mẫu xe của họ. Sau yêu cầu trên, 5 công ty sản xuất xe hơi lớn của Nhật bao gồm Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Yamaha, Suzuki đã thừa nhận có những sai sót trong quá trình sản xuất. Bộ đã ra lệnh cho các công ty này tạm dừng vận chuyển các mẫu xe liên quan cho đến khi xác nhận chúng đáp ứng được các tiêu chuẩn chất lượng quốc gia.Theo tổng hợp từ tờ Japan Times và kênh BFM TV, những gian lận trên bao gồm :- Toyota: gửi dữ liệu sai lệch trong các cuộc thử nghiệm bảo vệ người đi bộ, sửa đổi gian lận phương tiện thử nghiệm - Mazda: viết lại phần mềm điều khiển động cơ trong quá trình thử nghiệm xuất xưởng, gian lận sửa đổi xe thử nghiệm trong quá trình thử nghiệm va chạm- Yamaha: Các cuộc kiểm tra tiếng ồn được thực hiện trong điều kiện kiểm tra không phù hợp đối với một mẫu xe hiện đang được sản xuất và trình bày sai kết quả kiểm tra còi đối với hai mẫu xe đã sản xuất trước đó.- Honda: khẳng định sai về kết quả kiểm tra độ ồn của 22 mẫu xe sản xuất trước đó.- Suzuki: khai báo sai trong báo cáo thử nghiệm hệ thống phanh của mẫu ô tô đã sản xuất trước đó.Các doanh nghiệp chân thành xin lỗi … Đứng trước cơn bão lớn sắp ập đến, mà theo Reuters có khả năng “làm hoen ố hình ảnh các công ty” hay theo NHK có thể “làm lung lay niềm tin của khách hàng”, các nhà sản xuất Nhật đã có một lựa chọn khôn ngoan : thừa nhận trách nhiệm và xin lỗi khách hàng. Theo dõi buổi họp báo của các tập đoàn, thông tín viên RFI, Bruno Duval tại Nhật Bản tường thuật :“Họ cúi gập người từ 65 tới thậm chí là 90 độ. Cái cúi đầu thật lâu, tưởng như sẽ kéo dài vô tận. Quy tắc ở đây là thế. Khi bạn mắc lỗi chỉ xin lỗi thôi là không đủ. Đặc biệt là trong trường hợp này, khi ngành công nghiệp ô tô Nhật Bản, với gần 6 triệu nhân công, đã chứng kiến vụ gian lận có hệ thống và rộng khắp.”Đầu tiên phải kể tới Akio Toyoda, chủ tịch tập đoàn Toyota, thương hiệu xe hơi hàng đầu Nhật Bản. Trang tin NHK trích lời ông Toyoda, cho biết : “Với tư cách là người đứng đầu tập đoàn Toyota, tôi xin gửi lời xin lỗi chân thành tới các khách hàng, những người yêu xe và tất cả các bên liên quan.” Khi được hỏi về nguyên nhân của những sai phạm này, ông Sato Koji, tổng giám đốc Toyota, trả lời rằng điều này bắt nguồn từ khâu trao đổi giữa ban giám đốc và các công nhân trong nhà xưởng. Cụ thể, theo báo Pháp Les Echos, những người quản lý đã không đủ khả năng hiểu toàn bộ và theo dõi các chi tiết về những công việc tại xưởng sản xuất. Đồng thời, công nhân phải chịu áp lực vì ngành công nghiệp sản xuất xe hơi đang ngày càng cạnh tranh. Để tránh cho tình trạng tái diễn, công ty sẽ cải thiện trao đổi thông tin giữa ban giám đốc và các công nhân, xây dựng một hệ thống quản lý chặt chẽ hơn, chỉ định một “giám sát viên nội bộ” chuyên trách về vấn đề thử nghiệm.Tương tự như vậy, giám đốc điều hành tập đoàn Mazda Masahiro Moro cho biết : “Cả công ty chúng tôi sẽ nỗ lực để ngăn chặn những sự cố như vậy xảy ra lần nữa bằng cách giải quyết các vấn đề được phát hiện trong cuộc điều tra này và sẽ nỗ lực hết sức để khôi phục niềm tin của mọi người đối với chúng tôi”. Còn tổng giám đốc tập đoàn Honda, Tochihiro Mibe thì trả lời : “Chúng tôi rất coi trọng vấn đề này … Chúng tôi xin lỗi sâu sắc” và sau đó cúi đầu thật thấp. Tóm lại, điểm chung trong câu trả lời của các lãnh đạo doanh nghiệp là : rất xin lỗi và hứa sẽ nỗ lực ngăn chặn những sự cố tương tự.  “Lỗi sai” chứ không phải là “sai phạm”Dù vậy những lời xin lỗi này vẫn bị nhiều người coi là chưa đủ thuyết phục. Nhiều tờ báo như Capital hay La Tribune đã phân tích rằng các doanh nghiệp chỉ thừa nhận có “lỗi sai” chứ không phải là “sai phạm” như những gì bộ trưởng Đất đai, Hạ tầng, Giao Thông và Du lịch Nhật Bản Tetsuo Saito đã khẳng định. Cụ thể trong buổi họp báo ông Saito cho biết : “Thật vô cùng đáng tiếc khi tiếp tục phát hiện thêm những hành vi sai phạm. (…) Các hoạt động gian lận liên quan đến việc chứng nhận các mẫu xe đã làm suy yếu niềm tin của người dùng và làm lung lay nền tảng hệ thống các quy tắc chứng nhận an toàn xe.” Tưởng như là đồng nghĩa, nhưng những từ như “lỗi sai” hay “sai sót” dễ khiến người nghe hiểu rằng đây là những hành động vô ý, trong khi từ “sai phạm” hay “gian lận” như bộ trưởng Giao Thông sử dụng đã chỉ rõ tính chủ đích của các hành động này. Và liệu có thể nói rằng việc khai báo sai trong báo cáo thử nghiệm hay thay đổi điều kiện thử nghiệm là các hành động “không cố ý”?Nhận lỗi rồi lại đổ lỗi Tiếp tục đi vào phân tích những lời xin lỗi của các doanh nghiệp, thông tín viên Bruno Duval cho biết : “Chúng ta có thể thấy ngành công nghiệp xe hơi Nhật Bản vẫn đang phủ nhận và tự biện minh chứ không phải hối lỗi. Trên thực tế có sự tương phản rất lớn giữa một bên là tư thế cúi gập người của các giám đốc, một bên là những “yếu tố ngôn ngữ” trong lập luận của họ. Họ cho rằng “đó là câu chuyện đã cũ” vì 32 trên tổng số 38 mẫu xe bị ảnh hưởng không còn được bán trên thị trường.”Lập luận này khiến cho người nghe dễ quên đi rằng 6 mẫu xe còn lại vẫn đang hàng ngày được giao tới tay người tiêu dùng. Những mẫu xe này đa phần được đưa vào tiêu thụ tại thị trường Đông Nam Á như Thái Lan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cam Bốt và Việt Nam cùng một vài nước Trung và Nam Mỹ như Mêhicô, Ecuador, Peru, … Ngoài ra, theo thông tín viên Duval, các chủ doanh nghiệp còn khẳng định : “Chúng tôi là những người chuyên nghiệp”. Nói cách khác: các nhà sản xuất biết rõ hơn ai hết cách thiết kế, sản xuất và thử nghiệm xe. Ngụ ý: vấn đề ở đây là các tiêu chí chứng nhận chính thức của quốc gia. Chúng đã lỗi thời (có từ năm 1951), không phù hợp với tốc độ sản xuất và quá cứng nhắc. Kết luận: chúng ta phải sửa đổi các tiêu chí này để tránh gây bất lợi cho các nhà sản xuất Nhật Bản so với đối thủ cạnh tranh nước ngoài.” Theo trang Nikkei, quả thực hãng xe Toyota tự đưa ra những tiêu chuẩn đôi khi còn cao hơn so với tiêu chuẩn quốc gia. Chẳng hạn như để kiểm tra nguy cơ rò rỉ nhiên liệu trong trường hợp va chạm từ phía sau, Toyota đã sử dụng một xe đẩy nặng 1.800 kg, trong khi đó tiêu chuẩn pháp lý chỉ là 1.100 kg. Tuy nhiên, một vài tiêu chuẩn cao hơn, vậy còn các tiêu chuẩn khác của Toyota thì sao? Có lẽ không nên đánh đồng rằng tất cả các tiêu chí của Toyota đều nghiêm ngặt hơn chuẩn quốc gia. Và chính chủ tịch Toyota cũng không thể phủ nhận là đã bỏ qua và/hoặc làm giả một số tiêu chuẩn để xe được lăn bánh. Càng đáng nói hơn là những điều này chỉ được thừa nhận sau khi có sự vào cuộc của chính quyền. Vậy nếu không bị tố giác, các doanh nghiệp sẽ che đậy những thông tin này đến khi nào? Họ sẽ giao đến cho khách hàng những chiếc xe được gắn mác “đạt chuẩn quốc gia” đến khi nào? Từ lâu, các sản phẩm đến từ Nhật Bản vẫn luôn chiếm được niềm tin của người tiêu dùng Việt. Không chỉ các sản phẩm mới mà cả những sản phẩm đã qua sử dụng, hay thường được gọi là hàng Nhật bãi, cũng được nhiều gia đình tin tưởng. Vậy nhưng sau nhiều vụ bê bối như thép Kobe hay dược phẩm Kobayashi, và giờ lại tới các hãng xe hơi, nhiều người không khỏi hoài nghi về chất lượng và uy tín của các thương hiệu Nhật. Đối mặt với sự cạnh tranh gắt gao từ những thị trường mới nổi hay những sản phẩm giá rẻ của Trung Quốc, người tiêu dùng hy vọng các nhà sản xuất của Nhật Bản không bị cuốn vào vòng xoáy này và quên đi những giá trị cốt lõi đã được gây dựng từ bao năm nay.

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Recientemente, se han visto algunas sacudidas políticas en India, Sudáfrica y México, mientras que las cosas están empezando a cambiar también en Europa. El Primer Ministro del Reino Unido, Rishi Sunak, ha convocado elecciones generales para el 4 de julio, mientras aún se están asimilando los resultados de las elecciones al Parlamento Europeo del fin de semana. $AAPL Apple iniciará hoy su Conferencia Mundial de Desarrolladores anual con un discurso de apertura que es quizás el discurso más esperado del gigante tecnológico desde que se presentó el iPhone hace casi 17 años. Si bien el evento no suele ser un catalizador para las acciones, el hecho de que la conferencia probablemente se centre en los planes de inteligencia artificial generativa de Apple podría resultar importante para los inversores. Se prevé que una actualización de Siri basada en IA, la asociación OpenAI de Apple y nuevas funciones que permitirán a los usuarios ejecutar comandos generativos de IA en el propio iPhone serán el centro de atención. En particular, no se espera que Apple presente ningún hardware nuevo en el evento. Según se informa, Elliott Management ha acumulado una participación de casi $2B en Southwest Airlines $LUV y planea impulsar cambios, aunque se desconocen los detalles exactos. El activista, que se espera que interactúe con los altos mandos de Southwest, es uno de los mayores inversores de la aerolínea. La noticia hizo que las acciones de Southwest se dispararan un 6% en las operaciones previas a la comercialización, pero la acción ha tenido un rendimiento inferior al de sus rivales hasta la fecha, cayendo casi un 4%, en comparación con la ganancia del 25% de Delta $DAL y un aumento del 28% de United $UAL. Southwest, alguna vez considerada la aerolínea estadounidense más rentable, sufrió una pérdida mayor de lo esperado el último trimestre debido a que los gastos operativos afectaron la rentabilidad. Cinco fabricantes de automóviles japoneses han sido acusados ​​de falsificar datos de pruebas de seguridad al solicitar la certificación de ciertos modelos, en un escándalo que recuerda al Dieselgate de 2015 de Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY). Toyota $TM, Honda $HMC, Mazda (OTCPK:MZDAY), Suzuki (OTCPK:SZKMY) y Yamaha (OTCPK:YAMHF) recibieron instrucciones de suspender los envíos de los modelos, lo que hizo que sus acciones cayeran la semana pasada. Japón también allanó la sede de Toyota, asestando otro golpe al fabricante de automóviles que enfrenta preocupaciones de gobernanza, así como problemas de pruebas de seguridad en su unidad Daihatsu. Si bien el Dieselgate, que violó las leyes de aire limpio de Estados Unidos, finalmente generó multas y daños por valor de $30B en todo el mundo, el escándalo actual ha alimentado llamados para una revisión de reglas demasiado estrictas. El perforador de petróleo Noble $NE comprará Diamond Offshore $DO. En respuesta a las protestas de los usuarios, Adobe $ADBE aclara nuevos términos de IA.

Daihatsu Motor Co. has reported an operating loss of 5 billion yen for fiscal 2023, its first red ink since fiscal 1992, when Japan was in an economic slowdown following the bursting of the country's asset bubble.

Japanese carmakers Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Suzuki and Yamaha have admitted to cutting corners or providing false data in safety tests needed to get vehicle models certified. The disclosures come as a result of internal investigations ordered by Japan's transport ministry in the wake of massive test rigging at Daihatsu, a Toyota subsidiary. Plus, Chinese online fast-fashion giant Shein is poised to go public on the London Stock Exchange, with a potential valuation of nearly €60 billion. 

Daihatsu Motor Co. told the Japanese transport ministry Thursday that it will recall 104,471 units of two car models due to the risk that their stabilizers will fail.

In meerdere gemeenten in Gelderland kunnen laadpalen binnenkort worden uitgezet als het stroomnetwerk overbelast raakt. De 191 laadpalen komen onder het beheer van Park&Charge en gaan 'netbewust laden'. Dat betekent dat er minder of geen stroom naar de palen toegaat als er minder stroom beschikbaar is. Het is één van de eerste projecten in Nederland waar de laadpalen soms worden uitgezet.  En verder.... BMW heeft iets meer auto's verkocht, maar de winst is wel flink gedaald.

Japan's Daihatsu Motor Co. aims to resume its development of new vehicle models early within this year, President Masahiro Inoue has said.

A Japanese automaker that cheated on safety tests for decades said on January 22 that it doesn't expect to resume shipping cars any time soon. The Japanese government ordered a subsidiary of Toyota to halt production of its entire lineup after reports of faked safety test results emerged last year. The Daihatsu Motor Co. skipped mandatory safety tests by copying data from testing on one side of cars to the other and used timers to ensure airbags went off in tests, a review found. No major accidents have been reported in connection with the cheating, but the news has raised serious questions about oversight at Daihatsu, as well as its corporate parent Toyota. Japanese regulators approved five of the company's models on January 19 after more testing, but Daihatsu executives said its factories will remain shuttered as it waits on suppliers. “We face a very tough road ahead in winning back customer trust about safety and security,” corporate manager Keita Ide said on January 22, stressing that customers felt betrayed. He said the company is working on a plan to prevent cheating in the future. Daihatsu is known for kei cars, or light automobiles, including the popular Daihatsu Tanto “kei,” or small, car. It also produces the Toyota Raize hybrid sport-utility vehicle, also sold as the Daihatsu Rocky. An investigation including third-party experts found 174 cases of faked tests affecting dozens of models, including cars sold under the Toyota Motor Corp. nameplate. The review found that cheating went back 30 years. The scandal began after a whistleblower came forward in April last year. Daihatsu has apologized and promised sweeping reforms to its corporate culture. Daihatsu President Soichiro Okudaira has attributed the cheating to pressure on workers to meet tight deadlines. Daihatsu said there may be recalls, although none have been announced yet. Japanese media reports said the recalls are likely to total more than 300,000 vehicles. “The standards of governance at the Toyota group are being questioned,” nationally circulated Sankei newspaper said in an editorial. “Getting to the bottom of this is needed, as consumer trust in the overall Toyota brand is at risk.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

EU FINDS MOST CARS EMIT SAME CARBON LEVELS AS 12 YEARS AGOAn investigation into the EU's progress regarding the reduction of CO2 has found that levels emitted by cars has not changed in 12 years. A combination of larger, heavier cars and an apparent significant difference between lab tested and real world emissions have all been blamed. What is missing is the significant drop in diesel vehicles, replaced by petrol and hybrids, which produce more CO2 than a diesel, whilst producing less NOx.

In unserer letzten Folge im scheidenden Jahr 2023 schauen wir in die Vergangenheit und werfen auch einen Blick in die Zukunft der (E-)Mobilität: Die Toyota-Tochter Daihatsu hat seit 1989 - also noch vor der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands, nur zur Einordnung - bei Crashtests beschissen. Davon sind nicht nur eigene, sondern auch Modelle von Toyota, Mazda und Subaru betroffen, die von Daihatsu gefertigt wurden. In der Zukunft erwartet uns hingegen ein E-Auto von Xiaomi, dem chinesischen Elektronikkonzern, bisher vor allem für Smartphones bekannt. Schnittiges Teil mit ordentlich Rechenpower. Ford hat auch zurückgeblickt und festgestellt: Die E-Variante vom Pickup F150 verkauft sich gar nicht so gut, also soll mehr auf Hybrid gesetzt werden. Na gut. Bei VW haben sie gemerkt: Alles im Auto mit Touchbedienung, das kommt gar nicht mal so gut an. Also in Zukunft doch wieder mehr haptische Bedienelemente. Return of the Knöpfe und Drehregler. Microsoft wird neue Surface-Modelle vorstellen: Surface Pro 10 und Surface Laptop 6. Wir sind vor allem auf die Varianten mit Snapdragon X gespannt und wie es mit Windows-on-ARM (Windows 12?) weitergeht. Lasst euch auch nicht die große Spätzle-Kontroverse von Technikquatsch entgehen!

From the BBC World Service: One of the world’s biggest shipping companies says it’s still too dangerous to send its ships back through the Red Sea. Japanese car maker, Daihatsu, says it’s suspending operations at all four of its Japanese manufacturing plants after a major safety scandal. Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei, has signed a decree cancelling the contracts of 7,000 public sector workers. And how can AI help agriculture?

De eerste overname die ABN Amro doet sinds de nationalisatie in 2008 zorgt voor woedende beleggers. Zij stopten geld in Bux, de beleggingsapp die de bank overnam. Maar na de overname staan die beleggers met lege handen. We bespreken hoe dat kan, en wie er wél aan verdienen. Nog meer pijn bij Prosus. De Chinese overheid wil gameverslaving stoppen en gooit het slot op het spelen van videospelletjes. En dat raakt Chinese gamebedrijven, waaronder Tencent. Grootaandeelhouder Prosus, dat een notering heeft in de AEX, ging daarom flink onderuit op de beurs. Het laatste belangrijke bedrijf dat over de finish komt met kwartaalcijfers is Nike. Maar het verdient geen podiumplek. Nike waarschuwt dat consumenten even genoeg hebben van sneakers en zet het mes in het personeelsbestand. Wat wel goed loopt? Het wegwerken van de overtollige voorraden. Verder vergroot Nike zijn marges door te zeggen: eigen webshop eerst.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ING wil helemaal geen geld meer steken in de olie- en gaswinning. Na de klimaattop in Dubai scherpt ook de bank z'n duurzaamheidsdoelen aan. Goed voor klimaat en milieu, maar ook voor ING en z'n aandeelhouders? De bank vreest dat het naar z'n geld kan fluiten als het doorgaat met het financieren van fossiele brandstoffen, omdat daar over een paar jaar geen vraag meer naar is. Is dit ook het moment voor JOU om de geldkraan naar fossiel dicht te draaien?  Je hoort in deze aflevering ook waarom Air France KLM nóóit miljarden aan coronasteun had mogen krijgen.

It's time for a quick Carmudgeon Catch-Up. The boys have been busy filming, but they're back in the studio for a session to discuss what's been going on. And, it turns out, to ponder what life would be like with only two cars. == This episode of “The Carmudgeon Show” is presented by Valentine One Radar Locator: Find radar before it finds you! https://bit.ly/Valentine1_Hagerty Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-ICONS == The updates are many! Jason's Dodge Grand Caravan finally got the custom license plate he ordered almost a year ago – and its innocent profanity is making him laugh.  Beatrice the E30 325i is back on the road after a double-suspension swap with Jason's 325i Touring. Thanks to help from the legendary Bill Arnold Independent BMW, the Spec E30 kit is now on Beatrice, complete with a new clutch and throw-out bearing, and she's ready for track days and rallies. And, of course, taking Jason's niece to Thunderhill Raceway's Teen Survival driving school. Where G learned just how it feels to be in low-earth orbit.  And the 325iT switched back to factory antiroll bars with H&R's new springs, tuned specifically for E30 Touring, and Bilstein B8 shocks that were a gift from our friend Sreten at M539 Restoration in Germany.  Meanwhile, Jason also went to Radwood SoCal 2023, where he gave away a gorgeous set of RML Snowflake wheels to a deserving Scirocco fan. He also met @outlaw_welt — a fan and a gentleman who 3D-printed a bunch of Carmudgeon Show and Jason Cammisa Hagerty Show logo pieces. And gave Jason a ride to the airport in his C126 500SEC 6-speed manual.  Of course, no Carmudgeon Show would be complete without a discussion of Sacco-era Mercedes, and the boys successfully put on a Cars & Coffee in Berkeley on Bruno Sacco's 90th Birthday. More than 100 cars showed up, including almost a dozen W124 500Es. Quite an achievement — and Happy Birthday, Mr. Sacco! Meanwhile, Jason will have just completed his third 24 Hours of Lemons race at Sonoma Raceway (wish him luck and safety) with Bill Arnold and Randy Pobst. The last time they ran this race, 2 years ago, they won overall in their tired, battered E28 BMW. And Derek has major news to share: he's parting ways with ISSIMI to start his own dealership. Daihatsu? Daewoo? Either way, Derek will be peddling the Cheapest D in Town! Details to follow! And he spent a couple days driving his brother's Rivian R1S. Derek's bro has what could possibly be the best 2-car solution ever: an ND2 Miata and a Rivian. This leads the boys to discuss: what would happen if they had to get down to just two cars. Would Jason keep just the Scirocco and the Ferrari? What else?  And could Derek actually do it? The Carmudgeon Show is part of the Hagerty Podcast Network. Learn more about your ad choices.

00:00 - SHOW OPEN - 1990-1992 Daihatsu RockyToday is the second episode of our Little Weirdo's 4x4 Edition month-long special featuring four small, fun-to-drive and affordable used 4x4 SUVs from the 80s and 90s, and today's small SUV is the Daihatsu Rocky, sold in the US from model years 1990-199201:25 - INTRO - The RockyThe Daihatsu Rocky was an outstanding example of the small 4x4's sold in the US back in the 80s and 90s, and you should know about it in case you come across a good one when you're looking for a used car or truck.03:55 - Timing Is EverythingThe Daihatsu brand was launched in the US in 1988 during a recession and in the case of the Rocky, while it was a well-built, reliable and outstanding off-road vehicle, and certainly one of the best examples of the small 4x4's sold in the US at the time, it hit the market towards the end of that small, rugged 4x4 era when consumers who wanted an SUV were gravitating towards larger 4-door examples, like the Ford Explorer and Jeep Cherokee. After only 5-years in the US and faltering sales, Daihatsu exited the US market and the Rocky was no more, but it still represents an impressive example of the small 4x4s sold in the late 80s and early 90s, so it's worth considering if you can find a good one. 05:55 - Fun Both On-Road and OffLike the other small SUVs in this month-long review, the Rocky is highly maneuverable due to it's short 85.6-inch wheelbase, which, for comparison, is more than 3-inches shorter than a 1990 Mazda Miata's wheelbase. But what made it even better was its wide track compared to the competition. At 57.9-inches, the Rocky had one of the widest tracks for a small 4x4 vehicle in its class. Combined with an independent front double wishbone suspension, traditional leaf springs in the rear and more than 8-inches of ground clearance, the Rocky offered reasonable on-road stability and comfort along with impressively capable maneuverability when driving off-road. 07:05 - Not Exactly FastThe engine motivating a 1990 Rocky was a 1.6-liter DOHC 4-cylinder that made 94-horsepower at 5700 rpm and 94-lb.ft. of torque at 3200 rpm when new, which is pretty typical for similar size 4-cylinder engines from that era. However, unlike most of the other SUVs in this series, the Rocky was on the heavy side at about 2800 pounds. With less than 100-horsepower, a relatively high weight and a 5-speed manual transmission, you should expect zero-to-sixty-mph times similar to or a little slower than the other 4x4 SUVs in this month-long series. The only review I found with stopwatch times was from Road Test Magazine featuring a 1991 Rocky that covered zero-to-60-mph in 17.59-seconds. This is quite slow by modern standards, but still similar to the acceleration of other small SUVs in this review. Road Test Magazine Daihatsu Rocky Review - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do1k_f2MvJ4&t=5s08:50 - Features and OptionsKeeping with the nature of this rugged, jeep-like small 4x4, there weren't a lot of creature comforts available on the Daihatsu Rocky when it first launched. Early examples had hand-cranked windows, manual door locks and manual locking hubs that required drivers to get out of the truck to lock the front hubs by when using 4WD. However, over the course of the Rocky's short run, many of these issues were fixed with the addition of power windows and locks, along with auto locking hubs and more attractive alloy wheels, rather than simple steel wheels 10:10 - Two Trim LevelsSE is the base level interior with vinyl seat trimSX is more premium, with up-scale cloth seats or velour seating surfaces on the SX Plus model with wrap-around bucket seatsAir Conditioning was an...

What's interesting about Toyota is that if you buy today, you get its future growth for freeThe right time to buy might be nowICE vehicles are not going away, providing ongoing revenue supportToyota is the world's largest car manufacturer, ranked by a composite of market cap, revenue, and employees. The company has been a leader in alternative energy solutions such as hybrids and hydrogen-powered vehicles. The prior president has said that the company will “not simply repeat the approach of other companies” when it comes to electric vehicles (EV). Toyota points out the limited battery range, scarcity of lithium resources, lack of a charging network, and consumer preferences towards internal combustion engines (ICE). And developing markets in South America, Asia, and Africa could be decades away from having the infrastructure to implement a massive EV rollout; Toyota is well positioned to grow with these markets. Over the next five years, we expect Toyota to return to its pre-pandemic average growth level and achieve a CAGR of 6.9%.Hybrid and Hydrogen leadership and more EVs coming could prove critics wrongToyota is a pioneer in the mass production of hybrid technology, having rolled out its hybrid “Prius” model in 1997, since selling more than 5m. Currently, hybrids account for about 27% of total vehicle sales. Toyota is pushing ahead with hydrogen-powered cars, currently selling its “Mirai” model. The beaten-down share price is some evidence that observers expect the company's hydrogen offerings will eventually fail. But there is promise to the technology, and an investor could consider Toyota's hydrogen to have an option value. Of course, Toyota has not turned its back on EVs; recently, announcing plans to invest US$70bn in electrifying part of its fleet by 2030. We appreciate Toyota's diversified approach to transition to more carbon-neutral cars and expect total CAPEX spending of about JPY12trn over the next few years.Negative sentiment pressuring price; but at 1x PB, it might be the time to BUYThe sector is unfavorable given recession fears, as well, investors doubts Toyota's unconventional EV policies and its ability to defend its position as the world's largest carmaker. The company's price-to-book ratio (PB) dropped below 1x, which is 1x std dev below its long-term average. With an average net margin of 7.8% over the past 5 years, Toyota is among the most profitable automobile companies in the world. We believe negative sentiment has been too punishing, and the stock deserves a re-rating.FY3Q23 saw strong revenue growthToyota's 3Q23 revenue was up an impressive 25% YoY due to strong sales volume.The operating profit also grew by 22%, with the positive effect of higher sales volume more than offsetting soaring material prices.Though, the bottom line is slightly weaker YoY due to FOREX losses.Revenue structureWith 10.5m sold cars in 2022, Toyota remained the largest car manufacturer in the world. Its automotive segment, which accounts for 91% of revenue includes the production of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and related parts.The company produces vehicles under four brands: Daihatsu, Hino, Lexus, and the namesake Toyota. Accounting for 85% of total automotive sales, Toyota was the best-selling brand.It derives 7% of its revenue from financial services. Compared to other car companies, this contribution is relatively low, meaning that Toyota generates most of its sales from its core segment of car production.Toyota gets its revenues from multiple geographic regions. In 2022, North America was the largest region in terms of revenue as it represented 35% of...

Það var alveg kominn tími á að fara að skoða bílabransann og það er heldur betur tilfellið hjá okkur Pyngjumönnum í dag. Fyrirtæki dagsins er Brimborg sem er þó ekki bara bílasala, heldur einnig öruggur staður til að vera á, eins og þau segja sjálf en fyrirtækið er rótgróið á íslenskum markaði og hóf rekstur árið 1977 með innflutning á Daihatsu bifreiðum frá Japan. Allar götur síðan hefur eignarhaldið haldist innan sömu fjöldskyldu en við teljum það ekki ólíklegt að Brimborg sé eitt stærsta fjölskyldu fyrirtæki landsins.

Today's show title may or may not include the summaries of our three main topics as song titles from the Troublemaker Swagger Playlist on Spotify. We're talking about Toyota outpacing February production projections, Tesla's plan to secure nickel supplies, and business students skipping Wall St for crypto. Toyota Motor Group produced 11% (including Daihatsu and Hino Motors Ltd) more vehicles in February 2022 than in the same month one year earlier. The month exceeded even Toyota's expectations by nearly 41,000 vehicles. Toyota alone still below last Feb but exceeded projections by 41,000 vehiclesHonda, reported an 8.1% increase in the same month year over yearTesla is several steps ahead in mining NickelHas been securing long term nickel contrasts far before the Russian invasion of UkraineTwo years ago Musk said, "Please mine more nickel," on an earnings call with producers. "Tesla will give you a giant contract for a long period of time if you mine nickel efficiently and in an environmentally sensitive way.""People don't realize how far ahead Tesla is when it comes to securing the supply chain for raw materials and an integrated approach to battery materials," said Todd Malan, a spokesman for Talon Metals whom Tesla has a contract to buy 75,000 tons of Nickel from Wall Street getting skipped by as business students lean into Web 3 as a career “The crypto sector has 12,000 open jobs right now, according to the aggregation platform TrueUp, including 3,000+ new listings opened last week.” many from non-banking sector companies like SpotifyTalent often walking past big banking bonuses in favor of the excitement of blazing a new trail“Brandon Hoffman, a 2022 Columbia MBA candidate who's interning at an NFT company, told us he's excited because crypto “is like a new frontier. …I think that the infrastructure that is being uncovered every day that this platform provides, I think the applications are going to be very widespread.”“The students interviewed found their passion for crypto outside of classrooms all together. They mentioned blockchain clubs and Discord channels as common experiences at their universities.
