#mujeresqueinspiran #mujeresemprendedoras #negocios #ceo Siempre nos han vendido la idea de que para llegar a la cima hay que dejarlo todo abajo, y por años a las mujeres se les ha dicho esa famosa frase de: "Es que no puedes tenerlo todo". Hoy nos sentamos a platicar con una verdadera fiera del mundo de los negocios: Marcela Barreiro, la actual CEO de Daimler Trucks. Marcela vino a abrirnos el corazón como pocas veces lo hace un líder de ese nivel. Nos confesó el lado más rudo de su camino: cómo tuvo que luchar contra las etiquetas sociales desde niña y esa durísima decisión de postergar su gran deseo de ser mamá porque "ya venía el puesto" por el que tanto había trabajado. Es una plática de tú a tú sobre los sacrificios reales, el peso de las decisiones, y cómo le hace una mujer para brillar con todo en su profesión sin perder su esencia, su misión y su felicidad en el camino. Si alguna vez has sentido que tienes que elegir entre tu carrera y tu vida en matrimonio o materinidad, este episodio te va a mover todas las fibras. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 369: This conversation with Daimler Truck's Mike Young explores the Detroit Gen 6 engine platform and how it prepares fleets for the EPA 2027 emissions standards by building on nearly 20 years of proven aftertreatment technology. Young explains that the Gen 6 engines focus on reducing NOx through improved thermal management, a new pre‑SCR system, as well as incremental enhancements carried over from Gen 5. These changes aim to maintain or slightly improve fuel economy depending on idling habits, reduce maintenance surprises, and ensure technicians and parts suppliers experience minimal disruption. With millions of test miles already accumulated and careful planning for dealer and service‑network readiness, the Gen 6 platform is positioned as a reliable, efficient evolution rather than a disruptive overhaul.Links· Detroit Gen 6 Engine Gen 6 Engine | Demand Detroit· Daimler Truck North America Start | Daimler Truck North America· Daimler Truck (global) Home | Daimler TruckSponsors of this EpisodeThe Hub Corp: Introducing the new standard in wheel-end protection: The Hub Corp's revolutionary XTRACTOR™.

Max Duttenhofer hätte die Apotheke des Vaters übernehmen sollen. Aber es kommt anders. Ihn interessiert mehr das Schießpulver. Im Neckartal bei Rottweil baut er eine Pulverfabrik, es ist die Keimzelle zu einem "schwäbischen Kartell" mit Daimler und der Gewehrfabrik Mauser. Johann Reißer erzählt die Geschichte des widersprüchlichen Frauenhelds und weitgereisten, kiffenden Industriellen und Netzwerks, aber er entwirft in seinem Debütroman auch ein Panorama Deutschlands. Vor allem erzählt er, wie die Schießpulverfabrik eine ganze Stadt bestimmt. "Pulver" ist Wimmelbild, Sozialkritik, Industriegeschichte.

Mucho antes de SEAT, Hispano-Suiza o Pegaso ya existía un automóvil español capaz de circular por las calles de Barcelona. En Curiosidades Más Curiosas con Rubén Gómez Burillo descubrimos la fascinante historia del Triciclo Bonet, considerado el primer automóvil español y uno de los primeros vehículos de Europa impulsados por un motor de explosión. Repasamos la vida de Francesc Bonet Dalmau, el ingeniero catalán que tras visitar la Exposición Universal de París de 1889 decidió construir un vehículo autopropulsado utilizando un motor Daimler de apenas dos caballos de potencia. También contamos cómo aquel triciclo sorprendía a los barceloneses recorriendo el Paseo de Gracia mientras muchos lo conocían como “el coche sin caballos”. Una historia apasionante sobre innovación, ingeniería y el nacimiento de la automoción en España que demuestra cómo nuestro país también estuvo presente en los primeros pasos del automóvil moderno.

Of 11,103 new cars registered, 10,952 were fully electric, with diesel managing just 87 units and petrol a mere 31 units — making combustion-engine sales little more than a rounding error.TESLA CUTS MODEL 3 PRICES IN CANADATesla has slashed prices across its Canadian Model 3 line-up, introducing a new entry Premium RWD trim starting at C$39,490 — about 31% cheaper than the equivalent US price — after shifting production from its Fremont plant to its Shanghai factory to take advantage of Canada's new 6.1% Chinese-EV import tariff. The line-up now has just two trims after removing the Long Range mid-range, though Shanghai-built cars do not qualify for Canada's federal EVAP rebate of up to C$5,000.FACTORIAL BETS SOLID-STATE CAN BREAK CHINA'S LEADFactorial Energy, a Massachusetts-based startup backed by Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Hyundai/Kia, argues that solid-state batteries — which charge from 15% to 90% in 18 minutes and offer 20–50% more range than lithium-ion — are the West's best chance to leapfrog Chinese rivals rather than imitate them. The company plans to go public on Nasdaq in mid-2026 via a SPAC merger, and a Mercedes-Benz EQS prototype fitted with its cells drove 1,205 km non-stop in August 2025.IONIQ 5 SALES HOLD UP AFTER US TAX CREDIT LOSSHyundai's IONIQ 5 held fifth place among US EV sellers in 2025 despite losing the federal EV tax credit, while rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E saw sales collapse 60% year-on-year in Q1 2026. Domestic production at Hyundai Metaplant America in Savannah, Georgia was credited as a key factor in shielding the IONIQ 5 from the impact of Trump administration trade policy changes.VOLKSWAGEN RAISES RIVIAN STAKE TO 15.9%Volkswagen has lifted its stake in Rivian to 15.9% after completing a further $1 billion investment tranche, triggered by the RV Tech joint venture clearing its winter testing milestones, bringing its total investment to $3 billion of a committed $5.8 billion. Volkswagen gains access to Rivian's software stack and zonal architecture, while Rivian retains full ownership of its motors, batteries, chassis, and autonomy framework.VW TESTS 'GAMECHANGER' AT WOLFSBURGVolkswagen has launched a pilot production process codenamed Gamechanger at its Wolfsburg headquarters, aimed at cutting costs and enabling profitable EV manufacturing in Germany through techniques expected to include megacasting and parallel modular assembly streams. The plant is expected to eventually produce an electric Golf and an SUV counterpart on the next-generation SSP platform, potentially under the names ID. Golf and ID. Roc.TESLA LAUNCHES BASECHARGER FOR SEMI DEPOTSTesla has unveiled the Basecharger, a depot-focused DC fast charger for the Tesla Semi that tops out at 125 kW and can charge a truck from low to 60% in around four hours, using a 6-metre cable to accommodate yard layouts. The unit starts at $20,000, supports the open MCS (Megawatt Charging System) standard, and up to three units can share a single breaker — potentially serving future MCS-compatible trucks from Daimler, Volvo, and Scania.MFG EV POWER ADDS PLUG&CHARGEMotor Fuel Group has integrated its MFG EV Power network of around 2,000 rapid and ultra-rapid UK charging points with Hubject's Plug&Charge infrastructure, going live on 1 May 2026 after over a year of technical development. Compatible EVs can now begin charging automatically the moment they plug in, eliminating the need for RFID cards or apps.ALLEGO APP ADDS EUROPE-WIDE CHARGING ROAMINGAllego has transformed its app into a pan-European roaming platform, giving drivers access to roughly one million charging points from competing networks under a single account with no additional roaming fees. The app also includes a Smart Route Planner to help EV drivers plan charging stops across longer cross-border journeys.NEW AI VOICE ASSISTANTS FOR RIVIAN, POLESTAR AND VOLVO EVSRivian's AI voice assistant — first unveiled at its December 2025 Autonomy & AI Day — is now expected to reach customers in the coming weeks after slipping roughly four months behind its original early-2026 target, and will roll out to both R1 and R2 vehicles. Separately, Google has begun rolling out Gemini to Polestar and Volvo cars running Android Automotive OS, enabling conversational AI with multi-turn dialogue, trip planning, and a continuous hands-free mode called Gemini Live — with Volvo saying models dating back to 2020 are eligible for the upgrade.

Der April endet freundlich: Der DAX geht mit einem Plus von 1,4 % bei 24.292 Punkten ins verlängerte Wochenende, der EuroStoxx 50 steigt um 0,9 % auf 5.870 Punkte. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die großen Tech-Zahlen aus den USA. Alphabet profitiert von Effizienz und Cloud, Microsoft beruhigt mit starkem Azure-Wachstum, Amazon meldet bei AWS das stärkste Wachstum seit 2022. In Deutschland ziehen starke Einzelwerte: DHL gewinnt nach einem EBIT-Plus von 8,3 % auf 1,5 Mrd. Euro deutlich, MTU legt ebenfalls zu. BASF schlägt trotz Währungsdruck die Erwartungen, Puma schreibt wieder schwarze Zahlen, Merck hebt nach starkem Keytruda-Geschäft die Prognose an. Caterpillar und Eli Lilly liefern ebenfalls starke Quartalszahlen. Gegenwind kommt von der Konjunktur: Die US-Wirtschaft wächst mit 2,0 % etwas schwächer als erwartet, die Zahl der Arbeitslosen in Deutschland steigt auf über 3 Mio. Brent fällt um 2 % auf 155 USD.
Wäre es morgen vorbei, es wäre okay — so sagt es Ines Banghard, Jugendcoach und Gründerin von "Coach deines Lebens". Mit 37 Jahren ist sie an einem Punkt angekommen, den viele Menschen ein Leben lang suchen: sie weiß, wofür sie hier ist. Ines coacht Kids, Teens und junge Erwachsene — seit über 20 Jahren, auch wenn ihr das lange selbst nicht bewusst war. Bevor sie 2019 ihre Firma gründete, hat sie bei Daimler und Porsche gearbeitet. Der Weg dorthin führte über einen Marathon, über ein Seminar, eine Meditation im Wohnzimmer und die Frage: Was sollen vier Menschen einmal an deinem Grab über dich sagen? In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, warum Persönlichkeitsentwicklung nicht bis zum Erwachsenenalter warten sollte. Über Selbstbewusstsein als die eine Schlüsselfähigkeit. Über das, was Kids und Teens wirklich brauchen, um gesehen zu werden.

Beispiele wie Indigo-Farbstoffe und die Haber-Bosch-Düngerforschung zeigen, wie langfristige Finanzierung technologische Durchbrüche ermöglicht hat. Denkregel: Drei Säulen der Gründung – Technologie, Finanzierung, Bildung – zusammen wirken stärker als einzelne Elemente; Gründer heute sollten diese Trias priorisieren.Deutschland AG: Netzwerke und Depot-StimmrechtDeutschland AG war durch enge Verflechtungen von Konzernen und Banken geprägt; Aufsichtsräte und Depot-Stimmrecht gaben Banken Einfluss. Diese Cross-Beteiligungen schützten vor externen Angriffen und prägten Stabilität, änderten aber die Dynamik des Wandels. Für Unternehmen heute bedeutet das, Stabilität gegen Wandel abzuwägen, sonst droht Anpassungsrückstand.Gründer-Tüftler zu Shareholder-ManagerIn den 90er/2000er prägten Middelhoff, Schremp und Sommer eine neue Manager-Generation mit Fokus auf Aktienkurs statt Stakeholder-Interessen. Sie setzten auf internationale Akquisitionen, englischsprachige Führungskräfte und globale Ausrichtung; dieser Wandel veränderte die deutsche Großindustrie. Für Karriere bedeutet das: Verständnis des Investorendrucks, globale Erfahrung sammeln und sich an internationale Standards anpassen. Investitionsentscheidungen waren oft riskant; die Reaktionen der Wirtschaftspresse zeigten das Spannungsfeld.Finanzialisierung und der Abstieg der Deutschland AGDer Abschied vom Bretton-Woods-System und die Ölkrise lösten Finanzialisierung aus; Hedging wurde Spekulation, und Investmentbanken suchten Rendite jenseits nationaler Grenzen. Die Folge war der Abstieg der Deutschland AG ab den 1970er Jahren bis zum Höhepunkt in den 1990ern, sichtbar etwa in der Übernahme Mannesmann durch Vodafone. Das Beispiel zeigt, wie globale Finanzströme nationale Industrie verzahnen und Entscheidungen in Deutschland beeinflussen.KeywordsDeutschland AGGründerzeit DeutschlandGroßkonzerne DeutschlandAufsichtsräte DeutschlandSozialpartnerschaft DeutschlandGeschichte der Deutschland AG 1870erDeutsche Bank AufsichtsratsstrukturMannesmann Krupp Daimler Otto GeschichteBASF Indigo Haber-Bosch Ammoniaksynthese FinanzierungKartellgesetzgebung DeutschlandShareholder Value vs Stakeholder ValueWirtschaftswunder 1950er Deutschland
L'extrême droite allemande ne progresse pas uniquement en politique. Zentrum, une organisation proche du parti extrémiste de droite AfD, veut profiter des élections professionnelles qui ont démarré début mars dans le pays pour mettre un pied dans les usines allemandes. Reportage dans la plus importante usine de Mercedes et ses 12 500 salariés, à l'est de Stuttgart. De notre envoyée spéciale à Untertürkheim, Devant la porte des usines Mercedes, à Untertürkheim, 13h30 sonne l'heure du changement d'équipes sur le parking des salariés. Comme partout en Allemagne, on vote chez Daimler pour le renouvellement du comité d'entreprise. Dans un contexte de crise de l'automobile, l'ambiance dans l'usine est plutôt tendue, comme l'explique Pedro, un ouvrier espagnol qui s'apprête à monter sur son vélo : « Dans les périodes de campagne, l'ambiance est toujours un peu tendue, on sent une certaine nervosité. Tout le monde ne parle que des élections. Zentrum ? Oui, je crois qu'ils s'engageraient aussi bien qu'IG Metall le fait depuis des années. » Dans la cage d'escalier du parking, les affiches des listes en campagne confirment la joute entre IG Metall, syndicat historique de la métallurgie, réputé proche des sociaux-démocrates, et Zentrum, proche du parti d'extrême droite AfD. « IG Metall est l'ennemi préféré de Zentrum. Pour Zentrum, le conflit salariés-patrons, la lutte des classes, ne jouent aucun rôle. Leur adversaire, c'est toujours IG Metall », explique la chercheuse Daphne Weber, qui étudie les syndicats de droite. Il y a quelques semaines, la patronne de l'AfD, Alice Weidel, est venue à la rencontre des ouvriers devant les grilles de l'usine Daimler. Une source d'inquiétude pour Danial Bamdali, ouvrier turc en poste chez Daimler depuis 2010 et membre d'IG Metall. « Ce qui nous inquiète, c'est cette agitation d'extrême droite, ici, dans l'entreprise, explique-t-il. Et ce qui nous affecte, c'est que la direction soutient ça, puisqu'ils ne font rien contre. » « L'extrême droite obtiendra davantage de mandats » Zentrum, qui n'est pas reconnu comme un syndicat, est dépourvu de toute expérience en matière de négociations tarifaires. Christian Steffen, responsable de la stratégie politique chez IG Metall dans le sud-ouest du pays, doute que cela freine l'extrême droite : « Nous supposons qu'il y aura, aux élections des comités d'entreprise, des résultats qui, en partie, ne vont pas nous plaire. L'extrême droite obtiendra davantage de mandats, mais je ne crains pas de tremblement de terre. » Zentrum, 18 élus dans les comités sortants, ne pèse pour l'heure pas grand-chose sur un total de 180 000 élus dans les entreprises du pays. Mais il menace la paix sociale, surtout dans l'automobile. Et il fragilise les syndicats confrontés à la progression du vote d'extrême droite chez les ouvriers.

L'exercice 2025 a été marqué par un recul de près de 10% des immatriculations sur le marché français du poids lourd, toujours dominé par Renault.Une période de stabilisation après deux ans de hausse, marquée par la progression des ventes de poids lourds électriques. Sur ce segment, Daimler s'impose comme le 1er importateur en France, avec son modèle eActros qui affiche plus de 500 km d'autonomie.Ulrich Loebich, président de Daimler Truck France, fait le point sur les perspectives du secteur, dans un contexte économique chahuté par la conjoncture internationale. Les conséquences de la guerre en Iran sur l'activité économique et sur les prix de l'énergie pèseront sans doute sur la trésorerie des transporteurs…A plus long terme, les constructeurs de véhicules européens poursuivent leur transformation pour proposer des solutions de transport décarbonées : électrique à batteries, mais aussi hydrogène et pile à combustible. Et pour accompagner les transporteurs, Daimler propose des solutions de monitoring et de financement, qui contribuent à l'optimisation des coûts d'exploitation.

Zentrum Automobil verursacht Herzrhythmusstörungen. Entfesselter Mob bei Enpal (Beginn: 39:36)von Elmar Wigand & Jessica Reisner für arbeitsunrecht FM und die junge Welt. Wo war laut Herbert Wehner noch gleich "die Herzkammer der Sozialdemokratie"? Als am 28. September 2025 erstmalig seit 1946 ein CDU-Mann die Wahl zum Dortmunder Oberbürgermeister gewann, titelte der Westfälische Anzeiger "SPD-Infarkt in der Herzkammer". Wehner war kein Mediziner, aber auch ihm muss klar gewesen sein: Ein Herz hat zwei Kammern. Ab dem 1. März droht ein weiterer Infarkt. Ab dann sind bis zum 31. Mai 2026 bundesweit Betriebsratswahlen. Über Betriebsräte verankern sich Gewerkschaften und Sozialisten (wenn wir den Begriff wohlwollend und im weitesten Sinne fassen) im Betrieb. Über ihr Mandat erhalten sie Kündigungsschutz und können angstfrei auftreten. Leider haben das auch AfD und Identitäre begriffen. Der historische Niedergang der Sozialdemokratie verläuft einerseits parallel zum Niedergang der Tarifbindung und zum Niedergang der betrieblichen Mitbestimmung, hat sich andererseits von ihr entkoppelt. Die SPD schmiert ab, WEIL sie den Niedergang der gewerkschaftlichen Organisierung durch Auslagerungen und Leiharbeit selbst aktiv betrieben hat und weil sie das Potential nicht ausschöpft, das in der betrieblichen Verankerung über Betriebsräte schlummert. Die rechte Herzkammer der IG Metall waren "der Daimler" und VW, die linke womöglich das Organizing. Wenn man das Stetoskop anlegt, dann ist die Organisation vor den Betriebsratswahlen ähnlich nervös wie jüngst die Dortmunder SPD. Man befürchtet einen Erdrutsch für das rechtsextrem gesteuerte Zentrum Automobil und hofft, dass es nur ein Paukenschlag wird. Die Tragödie ist, dass die Faschisten ihre historische Mission wahrnehmen und einigermaßen geschickt ein Vakuum füllen, das Linke und Radikale gelassen haben.IN MEMORIAM ACHIM SCHULZ (1949 – 2026) | (ab Minute 47:51)Wir sprechen über einen verdienten und geschätzten Kölner Genossen und seine Beerdigung am 3.

This comprehensive deep dive explores the evolution and modern framework of personal jurisdiction in U.S. law, from Pennoyer to the latest Supreme Court cases. It covers key concepts like minimum contacts, general and specific jurisdiction, and the impact of digital technology.Most courts struggle to balance a state's sovereign power with an individual's fundamental liberty. But what happens when technology blurs these lines—making borders practically meaningless? Living in Texas and downloading an app built in Estonia that harms your finances? Serving a company with no physical presence in a state—via the internet—can you really be sued there? If you think personal jurisdiction is still just about "being there," think again. This episode reveals how the centuries-old doctrine has evolved from rigid borders to a flexible, fairness-based framework that now faces its biggest challenge yet: digital globalization.We'll unpack the groundbreaking legal shifts from Pennoyer's territorial boundaries to the International Shoe revolution, which introduced the "minimum contacts" test. You'll learn why modern courts distinguish between general jurisdiction—when a defendant is “at home”—and specific jurisdiction—when the claim arises from the defendant's contacts. Special focus is given to recent landmark cases like Daimler and Bristol Myers Squibb, highlighting how courts have tightened rules around corporate presence, shutting down broad theories of "doing business" in favor of clear, case-specific ties.Ever wondered how a tiny online ad or a lone developer in Estonia can unexpectedly drag a company into court thousands of miles away? This episode dives into the nuanced tests for purposeful availment, including the stream of commerce, Calder's effects test, and the sliding scale of internet interactions. We explore the mind-bending implications of globalized digital commerce, addressing whether borders still matter in a borderless world—and how courts are struggling to keep up.Crucially, you'll understand the layered checklist for exam success: how to analyze statutory authority, constitutional limits, the nature of contacts, relatedness, and fairness—step-by-step. Perfect for law students and professionals alike, this episode reveals why the key lies not just in geography, but in whether the defendant “deliberately engaged” with the forum.As the world becomes more interconnected, the traditional borders of personal jurisdiction are under unprecedented pressure.

Nel 1896 Gottlieb Daimler presentò un carro con motore da un litro: è considerato il primo autoveicolo dedicato al trasporto merci. Da quel giorno sono passati 130 anni. Un secolo e tre decenni in cui il camion ha attraversato guerre, ricostruzioni, boom economici, rivoluzioni tecnologiche e oggi una nuova grande trasformazione: quella energetica e digitale.Per celebrare questo anniversario riproponiamo uno degli episodi più ascoltati del nostro podcast «K44 – La Voce del Trasporto», dedicato alla vita geniale del suo inventore, ai primi passi del veicolo industriale e alle principali tappe della sua evoluzione, ricostruite da Michele Latorre (direttore di Trasporto Europa) e da Daniele Di Ubaldo (direttore di Uomini e Trasporti) insieme al giornalista e storico Massimo Condolo. Buon ascolto.

Ferdinand wanted to make cars for the people, but the Porsche brand we know is an empire of performance. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients, so here’s one of those. [ASAP Commercial Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. It’s the podcast where we talk about empires that were built, businesses, business empires. You know what we… If you’ve listened before, you know… Stephen Semple: Something like that. I get it. Businesses that have done pretty well over the years. Dave Young: They started small. Stephen Semple: They started small. Dave Young: They started small and then they got big. They got so big to the point that you could call them an empire. Stephen Semple: That’s it. That’s the idea. Dave Young: It’s a pretty simple premise. Stephen Semple: That’s it. Dave Young: So as we counted down, Steve told me the topic today and it’s Porsche. Stephen Semple: Yes, sir. Dave Young: Porsche. I’m assuming this is the car. Stephen Semple: The car, yes, the car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: The car. Dave Young: And I’m trying to… I know some Porsche jokes, but I probably shouldn’t tell those on this show. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever actually been in a Porsche. Stephen Semple: Oh, well then you’ve got to come up and see me, Dave. Dave Young: You own one. I know you own one. Stephen Semple: Well, I have one. Bernier’s got two. I don’t know how many Steve has. Dave Young: I see how it is. I see how it is. Maybe I will tell my Porsche joke. So you guys that own them, do you call it Porscha? Because some of us just say Porsche. Stephen Semple: Well, if you actually take a look back, that’s the proper German pronunciation as Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, okay. Stephen Semple: And it’s supposed to not be… It’s not Italian Porsche, right? So it’s Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, Porsche. Okay, I’ll accept that. I’ll accept that. I’m guessing we’re- Stephen Semple: Well, look, you got to always call a dealership to double check. They’ll tell you. Dave Young: Now, if I had to guess where we’re headed to start this off sometime around the 40s, maybe earlier. Stephen Semple: A little earlier than that, actually. It was founded by Ferdinand Porsche in 1931 in Stuttgart, Germany. You’re not far off. But the interesting thing is where the growth really happened, even though that’s when it was founded, when things really started to happen, was actually post-World War II. Dave Young: That makes sense. Stephen Semple: You’re correct on that. Dave Young: So, it started in 31 and by the time you hit the late 30s and 40s, you’re part of the war machine. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So it was founded in 1931, Stuttgart, Germany by Ferdinand. And when we take a look at the history of the business for a very long time, they were a part of the VW group, although they were recently spun off into their own separate business. And there’s a lot of shared history between VW and Porsche. A lot of people make fun of the fact that it’s basically a VW. There’s so much connection. Now here’s the other thing is, there’s a lot of connection in Nazi Germany here as well. And I mean- Dave Young: That’s what I was intimating but trying not to say, but yes, there was definitely. Stephen Semple: And not one of these ones of, “Oh, I’m a business and I got sucked up into the machine.” I mean, very early on. Very early on. Ferdinand was a member of the SS following the war, both he and his son were charged. Dave Young: No kidding. Stephen Semple: He served two years in jail. His son six months. So we’re not talking loose connections here. He was a buddy of Adolf. Let’s just put it out there. And if you remember, going back to episode 21, VW was founded by Nazi Germany. So episode 21 about The Beetle, and Ferdinand was the guy who designed the Beetle. Dave Young: Right, right. I remember you saying that, Ferdinand Porsche. Stephen Semple: And look, Porsche has not always had the success it has today. It’s become pretty big. They do 40 billion EU in sales. They have 40,000 employees. They make 300,000 cars. There was a time that they’re making cars in the hundreds and thousands. It wasn’t that long ago. But let’s go back to Germany to the early 1900s. And if we think about Germany at that time, pre-World War II, pre-World War I, there was lots of history of engineering and science in Germany. More Nobel Prizes in Science was awarded to Germany than anywhere else in the world at that time. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: Germany was a real leader in science and engineering. And the first commercial automobile was made in Germany by Mercedes-Benz. So it’s 1906 and Daimler recruits Ferdinand because Ferdinand had been the winner of the Pottingham [inaudible 00:06:05] Prize, which is the automotive engineer of the year, which is given to new chief engineers and basically allows the person to have this designated doctor engineer honoris causa, Ferdinand Porsche. And he would go around calling himself all of that. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: And this is an honorary doctorate because he never actually finished college, but he had real engineering chops, Ferdinand. So he moves to Stuttgart, which at the time is a center of car making in Germany, including all the suppliers. And he works for Benz for 20 years. Okay. Now, it’s Germany in the 1930s and 2% of the population own a car in Germany as compared to the United States, which is 30%. Dave Young: In that time? Stephen Semple: In that time. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Ferdinand comes up with this idea of we should make an inexpensive car. We shouldn’t be making car for the wealthy. We should make an inexpensive car. The board rejects the idea. Ferdinand leaves in 1929. And in 1931… Kicks around for a few years, and then 1931 starts a consulting firm. Now, this dude knew how to name things. You’re ready for the name of the company? Dave Young: Of the consulting firm? Stephen Semple: Of the consulting firm. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: I have to read this to get it right. The Doctor Engineer Honoris Causa Ferdinand Porsche Construction and Consulting and Design Services for Motor Vehicles. Dave Young: Now, if I know anything about German, that was all one word that you just said, right? Stephen Semple: Well- Dave Young: No spaces in between any of those words. Stephen Semple: Translated, you’ll see it as Dr. in H period, C period, F period, Porsche, capital G, small M, small B, capital H. Dave Young: It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Stephen Semple: Now, here’s the crazy thing. Up until 2009, that remained the official name of the company. You actually can find, if you see Porsche’s older than that, that if you look for that, it’ll be stamped somewhere in the car that that’s the manufacturer. Dave Young: They changed it finally because it was just too expensive to- Stephen Semple: It cost too much- Dave Young: Put that many letters in a dye cast. Stephen Semple: Exactly, exactly. Dave Young: Holy cow. Stephen Semple: So it’s 1934 and they land a contract with Germany to design a small affordable car for the people called the Volkswagen. Dave Young: Volkswagen. Stephen Semple: Beetle. Right, there you go. Now, here’s the thing that’s weird. Post World War II, the allies are in trying to rebuild Germany and no one owns VW. VW was owned by the state. So now it’s in the hands of the British and the British and the allies want to create a strong economy in West Germany because it’s now the Cold War. So the big defense to defending against East Germany and the expansion of communism is to really get the economy going in Germany. And so the British government, as we know from episode 21 about the Beetle, approached Porsche who designed it and said, “Help us get this car built.” And this is where it gets just a little bit weird because the son goes in one direction. Ferdinand’s doing his own thing. They both got arrested for war crimes. Son gets out first because he did six months. And his son’s name’s Ferry and his dad is in jail for two years. So between this time where dad’s still in jail and son’s out, here’s one of the things they did towards the end of the war. We don’t know exactly how many, but it was probably about 20 of their best engineers and they moved them out into the farmland of Austria and basically had them working in a barn because they didn’t want to get them arrested or killed, quite frankly. So Ferry gets out and he goes to this barn in Austria and he’s looking around and he goes, “What the heck are we going to do to make some money? Let’s start fixing up cars.” Now, not a huge business fixing up cars. It’s post-war and there weren’t a lot of cars in Germany anyway, but they had to do something. Then the dad gets out of jail and he ends up doing this work with Volkswagen. Now, here’s what’s interesting. And this is where the really tight ties between Porsche and Volkswagen start. The deal that the German government gives Ferdinand, the deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories to Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: The deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. We want your help designing and distributing this car. We will give you a royalty for every VW Beetle sold worldwide. Dave Young: Wow, that’s pretty generous. Stephen Semple: Well, no one knew it was going to be such a huge success and basically go for 50 years that car was being built. Dave Young: Right, right. Stephen Semple: So for a long time, the biggest source of revenue for Porsche was royalties on VW Beetle sales. Dave Young: Wow, okay. So it really- Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: It really wouldn’t exist if that deal hadn’t been made. Stephen Semple: May not have, may not have. Now, meanwhile, Ferry, who has design chops of his own and loves cars, started tinkering around with vehicles. And what he started to do was put big engines in small cars. There was all these Beetle parts lying around. He would build a car, this little car, and he’d put a big engine in it. And if you go back in the time, if you go back and take a look in the late 30s, early 40s, and you take a look at Ferraris and things like that, you take a look at the race cars at the time, they were two-thirds engines. They’re these massive engines. So he went the opposite direction. He said, “Well, let’s take a little car and put a big engine in it.” And he’s driving around and he goes, “This is fun.” Because he’s basing it on parts lying around, which is the VW stuff. It’s an engine in the back. This becomes the Porsche 356, which is basically Porsche’s first car. So they start making this car and they wanted to make it somewhat affordable. So the price was $3,750, which would be $42,000 today. And they also wanted to have it as being a daily driver because again, everybody else making performance cars were not daily drivers, had a trunk, bunch of things, daily driver. And this is an important part of Porsche’s DNA. We’re going to come back to this a little bit later, this idea of it being a daily driver. So coming out of World War II, sports cars, industry’s happening and everybody’s got one. MG and Jag in the UK, there’s Ferrari in Italy, you get the idea. Now, one thing I forgot to mention that’s interesting and still today, the government state of Lower Saxony, which is basically would be the state, they still own 20% of Volkswagen. Dave Young: Really? Okay. Stephen Semple: I forgot to mention that. Dave Young: Who are they now? Stephen Semple: Well, Volkswagen’s still around. Volkswagen’s still- Dave Young: No, who is the Saxony? Stephen Semple: Well, it’d be like saying the state of Texas. It’s a state. Dave Young: Okay, it’s just a part of Germany. Stephen Semple: Part of Germany and that government still owns 20% of the company. Dave Young: What a world. Stephen Semple: Now there’s all this stimulus going on in Germany to try to get the economy going. One of the things that they did, there was a really interesting tax rate. There was an interesting tax structure. There was a very high marginal tax rate. Now, ordinary people were taxed at 15%, but the marginal tax rate could go as high as 95%. And the reason why they wanted to do this was create this incentive for reinvestment. So there’s all this… As they’re making money, there’s this heavy reinvestment. And in the early 50s, racing is really exploding. Automobile racing is really exploding, but the lines between professional and amateur is blurry. If you remember, James Dean and Steve McQueen and other actors, Paul Newman, were all racing. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: They’re all racing vehicles. And Jaguar and Porsche were trying to do the same thing in terms of creating this daily driver that you could race. Now in the end, Porsche won, and I think part of it is because quite frankly, they just built a better vehicle. There was a time where the joke with Jaguars was you had to own two because one would always be in the shop and one… And going back to the early DNA, Ferry Porsche was quoted as saying, “We have the only car that can go from an East African safari to race in the Le Mans to take out to theater and then drive on the streets in New York.” Dave Young: Wow, okay. Stephen Semple: And look, today, Porsche still heavily advertises that. They will advertise a Porsche driving through the snow with ski racks on it. And not their SUVs, the 911. This is very much part of it. And if you think about it, this parallels what Rolex did in the early days. You remember from episode 184 with Rolex. Rolex, the Submariner, the Explorer. Dave Young: Target by niche. Stephen Semple: Target by niche and make it tough and something that you could use and wear day to day. So it’s 1954 and Porsche’s selling 588 cars and about 40% of them is in the US. So really what’s making things hum with them is all those Beetle sales. And it’s the ’60s, the Ford Mustang comes out, the Jag E type comes out, the Austin-Healey comes out, and Porsche decides they need a new vehicle. And they were going to do a sedan, a four door sedan. But what they realized was they didn’t really want to compete with Mercedes and BMW. So they looked around at the other German car manufacturers and they said, “You know what? That’s probably not the place to go.” They had designed it up and that project failed. They had also been working on a six cylinder Boxter engine. So Boxter engine, the cylinders are opposed, so they’re like boxing. And the whole idea is that lowers the center of gravity of the weight of the engine. And they had a project that they were working on that that didn’t go ahead. So they stepped back and they went, “Maybe what we should do is just reduce the size of the sedan and put that engine in it.” That’s what they did. And that became the Porsche 901. Except there’s a problem. Peugeot had the copyright for zero in the middle of a bunch of numbers in France. They couldn’t call it the 901 because of that copyright. Dave Young: So they called it- Stephen Semple: So they called it the 911. And that’s now the iconic Porsche car. 1966, they sell 13,000 of these cars. Now, here’s the thing that I think is very interesting. And Porsche, as far as I could figure out, is the only car manufacturer that does this. First of all, they’ve maintained the 911 forever, but even on top of that, Porsche really understands design language. We can all recognize a Porsche. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: We can recognize one from 2020. We can recognize one from 1999. We can recognize one from 1970. Even though they’ve upgraded the technology, they’ve changed the design of the car. They’ve now come out with the Cayman and the Macan and the Cayenne. They’re all recognizable as that vehicle. They’ve done a great job of doing that. I think that was a lost opportunity, frankly, when Tesla came out because they had a clean design slate. Tesla could have done that. But I think that’s really interesting how they’ve managed to maintain, even though they’ll modernize it. In our minds, we still will see one and go, “That’s a Porsche.” Dave Young: Sure. And the great car brands are able to do that. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Audi is always going to be an Audi. Volvo is always going to look like a Volvo. And in the Portals class at Wizard Academy, one of the videos that I use to demonstrate that, there’s a language. If you combine specific shapes and specific lines, that all adds up to that brand of car. And so I’ve got an old video that I got when I was in the Motor Press Guild from Audi. It was just a video that was made for journalists with an Audi designer explaining all the lines on the car when they came out with the Q7 and how it still maintained the Audi design language. It was fascinating. Stephen Semple: It is. Dave Young: So Porsche could tell you that and the cool thing is those designers can tell you that. It’s hard for you and I to go, “Well, I can look at it and say, “That’s a Porsche.” But to be able to put it into words that describe it to someone else, is a gift. Stephen Semple: What’s really interesting, my nephew, Jeffrey, he loves Audi’s. That’s what he has. And he’ll even make the comment, he doesn’t like the Porsche’s because you feel like you’re in a bubble. Audis are very square. If you look at the back of an Audi and you look at the rear end of a Porsche, it has hips. But again, he’s even, “They’re great cars, but I like the squareness of the Audi.” So that’s interesting. Dave Young: Audi Audi has a fairly, not perpendicular, but an upright grill more so than a … And that’s part of their design language. Stephen Semple: So the whole DNA of Porsche came from this whole idea of a small car. Dave Young: Big engine. Stephen Semple: Big engine, daily driver, that was the whole idea is, it’s supposed to be a car that you can drive every day. That’s the core, core, core, core principle. That’s why they always have decent sized trunks. I remember when Gary bought his Boxter, one of the things he loved about it is you can actually put two sets of golf clubs in that car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Right? Now, here’s what’s fun. There was a time where when they were really wanting to get things going, they did some great print advertisements. So they had ads like bug killer. Another one was calling it transportation is like calling sex reproduction. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, two of my favorites, one was not perfect. It would list 20 or 30 races that Porsche won. And if you actually read it, there was two that it didn’t. Dave Young: That they didn’t, “We didn’t win all the races.” Stephen Semple: So not perfect. Dave Young: That could have been driver error. Stephen Semple: That could have been. But Dave, you were going to make some jokes. Porsche’s able to laugh at itself. It actually had an ad that said, “Small penis? Have I got a car for you? If you’re going to overcompensate, then by all means, overcompensate.” Dave Young: I love it, I love it. Well, and that’s always the thing, the jokes are not about the car. Stephen Semple: But they actually ran that ad and I believe it ran in Car and Driver Magazine. I cannot imagine getting that ad approved. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: And look, their own drivers are like, “Yeah, whatever.” Dave Young: Sure, compensating all I want. Absolutely. I love that story. Well, thank you, Stephen. I love the story of Porsche. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: And get out there and enjoy it or just buy me one and send it here. Thank you.

Toyota just redrew its playbook, and we're unpacking the boldest moves: Century stepping into bespoke ultra-luxury, Lexus getting room to grow, Daihatsu anchoring the entry tier, and GR leveling up from a badge to a performance brand with a rumored GRGT supercar. We break down how this five-brand architecture could reshape showrooms, challenge dealer agreements, and influence what you'll actually be able to buy next year.From there, we pivot to the realities of ownership with a rapid-fire recall rundown: Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe engines flagged for sand contamination and fire risk, a sweeping Lexus rearview camera fix, Kia spare tire mismatches, and BMW airbag inflator concerns. We share practical steps to navigate NHTSA notices, verify parts, and protect your safety and resale value without losing a weekend to service limbo.For a change of pace, we play our sold-cars price game and get schooled by a stunning 1961 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible that crushed expectations, proving that the right spec list still makes collectors open their wallets. Then we hit the racing calendar, rewind through auto history—from Daimler's two-wheeler to the EV1—and explore two market signals: McLaren building a V8 hybrid SUV and EV prices climbing as incentives fade. It's a mix of strategy, safety, and pure car love, delivered with the same energy we bring to the garage on a Saturday morning.If you enjoy smart car talk without the fluff, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who loves a good spec sheet, and leave a quick review to help more enthusiasts find us.

To support a successful business carve-out, the treasury team at Daimler Truck had to understand which functions were essential from the outset and what could be refined once the new business had shifted into top gear.
For-hire trucking capacity is contracting significantly due to a 32% reduction in tractor builds (taking equipment below replacement levels) and stricter FMCSA English Language Proficiency enforcement, which could affect up to 10% of the driver pool. Despite shrinking capacity, freight rates are only seeing marginal spot market improvements of 1-2%, failing to keep pace with 3% inflation, due to volume volatility and broader macroeconomic risks. Regulatory friction is also widespread, as a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the California Air Resources Board from enforcing its Clean Truck Partnership against major OEMs (like Daimler, PACCAR, and Volvo). This legal development was driven by the judge's conclusion that CARB's lawsuit was attempting to enforce potentially federally preempted standards, creating an "impossible situation" for manufacturers after federal waivers for rules like the Advanced Clean Truck rule were withdrawn. In stark contrast to regulatory tangles, technology offers surprisingly frictionless solutions: fleets using complete AI safety solutions saw a 73% reduction in crash rates over 30 months, nearly double the industry average. Within just six months of implementation, these systems also achieved a 49% drop in harsh driving events and an 84% reduction in mobile phone use behind the wheel, alongside a 57% boost in Hours of Service compliance. Serious, hyperfocused investment is flowing into specialized logistics globally, notably in air cargo where Cargojet launched a new direct weekly service connecting its Canadian hubs to Liege Airport in Belgium. Latam Cargo also boosted its Europe-South America capacity by 25% (reaching 15 weekly frequencies), adding specialized routes like São Paulo to Brussels with a stop in Recife to handle mango exports. Domestically, TRAC Intermodal is focusing on standardization and efficiency by partnering with Florida East Coast Railway to stage standardized, GPS-integrated 53-ft domestic chassis directly at FEC terminals, aiming to build a national footprint for their T-53 program. Meanwhile, UPS completed its $1.6 billion acquisition of Andlauer Healthcare Group to strengthen its specialized Canadian cold chain and accelerate its strategic goal of doubling high-margin healthcare logistics revenue to $20 billion by 2026.

Es ist soweit! Nach überstandenem Nationalfeiertag können wir endlich in die Hände spucken. Der Kanzler fordert weg mit dem Pessimismus! Tja, Kanzler, sag das mal den Mitarbeitern bei Bosch, Daimler und Lufthansa. Sag das mal den Familienunternehmen die nach jahrelangem Kampf pleite sind. Sag das mal unseren Jungs Marcel und Benjamin. Die werden Dir was husten. Der Staat ist ein Häuptling vom Stamme Nimm. Er fordert unsere Bereitschaft für den Krieg, er fordert ein Pflichtjahr von uns, er fordert mehr Geld für alle Kassen und am Ende fordert er Gehorsam. Ohne uns. Echte Demokraten sagen nein!

Chuck Price, President, AI Kinetics joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the current state of autonomous trucking. From the continued speculation that Volvo is shutting down Volvo Autonomous Solutions (VAS) in North America to PACCAR's deafening silence following Aurora's driver-out launch, the autonomous trucking industry is navigating a period of uncertainty. Meanwhile, Daimler's growing influence and factory-grade chassis are reshaping the competitive landscape, as the prospect of Waymo re-entering the trucking market looms large. If Waymo returns, what happens next? Chuck offers his candid insights into how quickly Waymo could rescale Via, their autonomous trucking division, and what that would mean for the future of the industry, if Waymo re-entered the autonomous trucking market.Episode Chapters0:00 Current State of Autonomous Trucking6:00 Waymo Via11:46 Building an Autonomous Truck22:52 Daimler Truck26:00 Autonomous Trucking Models34:17 Licensing 36:09 Owning & Operating an Autonomous Trucking Fleet40:36 Driver-Out Operations 50:39 Aurora / PACCAR Relationship53:57 Aurora's Path Back to Driver-Out58:44 20271:01:13 Key Takeaways Recorded on Thursday, May 22, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.
