Hello this is Overdrive a program with an infatuation about trains, planes and automobiles. I'm David Brown The times each story appears in the program are noted (mm:ss) Powerhouse opening of exhibition. I went to the opening night of the Powerhouse Museum's “1001 remarkable objects” In amongst items of haute couture and jewellery, however, was a 1917 Detroit Electric car that came to Australia and was used for 30 years. The evolution of Triumphs The difference less than 20 years can make in car design as shown in this picture. The car at the back is a Triumph TR2 (Built, I believe, between 1953 and 1955. Was there ever a TR1?). The car at the front is a GT6 Mk III (GT6 built between 1966–1973). Book Review (Sort of) A colleague received this book ‘Car Dealers and Other “honourable” professions' in the hope that he might promote it. My colleague felt that it was too raunchy for his audience. The best-looking Holden Monaro Holden produced the HQ Sedan in the early 70s. They continued the trend they started in 1967 of making a 2 door coupe based on their family sedan. I may be biased but I think it looks pretty good. Feature David Berthon talks about his 1928 Rolls Bernie Fehon – is a mentor to the students at Western Sydney University who are racing a solar car in about 7 weeks time.

If motorcycles are your wheels of choice, we have you covered too! WAAAM has Harley Davidsons, Indians, Cushmans and more! Aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles, tractors, military jeeps and engines all get their day in the sun again at WAAAM. The Second Saturday of the month WAAAM calls the volunteers to action! We love flying and driving these wonderful artifacts and invite you to share in these special days at the museum. Our action runs between 10am and 2pm. (If you are here early you may be asked to give a hand.) We open the huge hangar doors and start pushing and pulling antique cars, airplanes, motorcycles and more - getting them ready to fire up and show you a bit of old technology in action. Each of our actions days has a bit of a different theme. It varies throughout the year.

Tesla has been hit by a slate of bad news in the country, most recently announcing the recall of more than 285,000 vehicles —most of which were made locally— over a safety risk with the vehicles' cruise control. Like the rest of the auto industry, Tesla has also struggled with the parts shortage, including a dearth of semiconductors. In May, Musk tweeted that prices were increasing as a result of “supply chain price-pressure industry-wide [sic].”    The second quarter also saw the departure of several high-level Tesla executives, including former long-time acting general counsel Al Prescott in April, and both deputy general counsel Lynn Miller and former president of automotive and heavy trucking Jerome Guillen in June.   Original Source : https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/2/22560608/tesla-q2-2021-deliveries-elon-musk   ELON MUSK CONFIRMS TESLA CYBERTRUCK WILL HAVE 4-WHEEL STEERING   - Elon Musk has confirmed that the Tesla Cybertruck will be equipped 4-wheel directional steering resulting in a feature similar to the Hummer EV's ‘Crab mode'.   Original Source : https://electrek.co/2021/07/03/tesla-cybertruck-4-wheel-steering-hummer-ev-crab-mode/   TESLA GIGAFACTORY BERLIN'S DETRACTORS GO TO A HIGHER COURT   - Despite being rejected by the administrative court of Frankfurt (Oder), environmental associations Naturschutzbund (Nabu) and the Green League announced on Wednesday that they are not giving up their battle against American electric car maker Tesla and its Gigafactory Berlin facility.   - Nabu and the Green League appealed against the provisional permit over alleged safety concerns, but they were unsuccessful. With this in mind, the two groups have decided to escalate their efforts by taking their grievances against Tesla to the Higher Administrative Court (OVG).   Original Source : https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-gigafactory-berlin-detractors-escalate-court/   VOLKSWAGEN ELECTRIC CARS SHOWCASED AT THE PETERSEN   - Looks like the future is going to be all-electric, and the Petersen Automotive Museum is celebrating it with their exhibit, “Building an Electric Future: The Technology of Today for the Vehicles of Tomorrow.”   - The museum has a 1901 Detroit Electric car that it exhibits to remind people how long EVs have been a thing.   - a lot of the exhibit features VW EVs, from the e-Golf to the ID.R that obliterated the record at Pikes Peak just a few years ago. There's even a VW ID. Buzz microbus concept, the original yellow one, on hand. The latest addition is the ID.4 crossover, which rides on Volkswagen's all-electric MEB architecture. And it's not just any ID.4; it's the off-road concept that recently completed the NORRA Mexican 1000 off-road race.   Original Source : https://www.autoweek.com/news/a36908899/volkswagen-electric-cars-petersen-automotive-museum/   US: FORD MUSTANG MACH-E SALES ABOVE 6,000 IN Q2 2021   - "With just 11 days to turn, Mustang Mach-E is essentially selling as soon as it arrives at dealers. Mach-E sales totaled 2,465, with 12,975 Mustang Mach-Es sold through the first half of the year. Customers are telling Ford their primary reasons for purchase is the technology, design and performance that Mach-E provides."   - Production of the Ford Mustang Mach-E for the global markets continues to increase and in June reached a new monthly high of 6,963. So far this year, Ford produced 34,779 Mach-E, while cumulatively it's over 41,000. We guess that the majority were sent to Europe.   Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/517872/us-ford-plugin-sales-june2021/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles   PORSCHE CALLS FOR SUPPLIERS TO SWITCH TO GREEN ENERGY   - Porsche is making further efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions in its supply chain: the sports car manufacturer is calling for its around 1,300 series suppliers to use exclusively renewable energy in the manufacture of Porsche components as of July 2021. It applies to any contracts awarded for providing production material for new vehicle projects.    Suppliers who are unwilling to switch to certified green energy will no longer be considered for contracts with Porsche in the long term.   Original Source : https://www.greencarcongress.com/2021/07/20210702-porsche.html   VOLVO IS BUILDING A 225 MILLION GIGABYTE DATA CENTER   - Swedish automaker Volvo Cars held a Tech Day on Wednesday where company executives shared a roadmap of the company's future plans, including a switch to all-electric and software-based vehicles by 2030.A big part of Volvo's future plans include having ten of thousands of software-powered connected cars on the road in the next decade traveling millions of kilometers and continuously sharing data with the automaker.   - The crowd-sourced data collected from Volvo vehicles will include continuous inputs from vehicle sensors that monitor the environment, including high-resolution lidar data used for autonomous driving. Allowing customers to share vehicle data will help Volvo continuously make software improvements to its cars, including the advanced safety systems, including autonomous driving systems.   - To process the massive amount of real-time traffic data collected from Volvo vehicles, Volvo Cars and Zenseact are investing in a massive AI-powered data factory within the next few years. The data center can store over 200 Pebibytes (225 million gigabytes) of data.   Original Source : https://www.futurecar.com/4717/Volvo-is-Building-a-225-Million-Gigabyte-Data-Center-to-Collect-&-Process-Real-Time-Vehicle-Data-to-Improve-Safety   ABB DELIVERS 2,000 WALL BOX CHARGERS TO AUSTRIAN POST   - The industrial group ABB, together with EWW Anlagentechnik, has equipped the Austrian Post with around 2,000 AC wall boxes, which are to be installed at more than 100 locations.   - The Austrian Post is reportedly aiming for zero-emission last-mile delivery by 2030 and plans to install over 2,400 AC and DC charging points at more than 130 locations to electrify its fleets.   - The wallboxes are ABB's Terra AC wall charging station, as also offered to private customers.   Original Source : https://www.electrive.com/2021/07/02/abb-delivers-2000-wall-box-chargers-to-austrian-post/   GERMANY TO HAVE 1 MILLION ELECTRIC CARS ON THE ROAD IN JULY   - Germany will in July have 1 million electric cars on the road, hitting its target six months late, Economy Minister Peter Altmaier told Tagesspiegel daily on Friday, saying subsidy programmes had boosted demand.   - "More bonuses have been taken up in the first half of 2021 than in the whole of last year," he added, saying they amounted to 1.25 billion euros. Subsidies were increased during the coronavirus pandemic.   Original Source : https://finance.yahoo.com/news/germany-1-million-electric-cars-231626048.html   EV OWNERS TOLD TO SEND IN ODOMETER READINGS FOR ROAD TAX   - Electric vehicle owners with cars registered in Victoria have been instructed by the state's road authority to send in a photo of their odometer readings from July 1 to comply with the new electric vehicle road tax that takes effect from the start of the new financial year. And they are not happy. EV owners in Victoria will be slugged a tax of 2.5 cents per kilometre from July 1, meaning an annual bill of $375 for cars that travel around 15,000kms a year, but around $750 a year for electric cars that travel double that.   - Any driver that fails to deliver the photo of the odomoter reading by July 1 won't be able to duck the charges, because they will be billed according to the car's “average daily use” once that is established   - Victoria has sought to offset the political fallout over the new EV tax by offering a rebate of $3,000 for new EVs purchased, at least for the first 4,000 new EVs, at which point the scale of the rebate will be reviewed. NSW, on the other hand, has announced a $3,000 rebate for 25,000 vehicles, waived stamp duty for all EVs, and will delay any EV road tax until at least 2027.   Original Source : https://thedriven.io/2021/06/30/victoria-ev-owners-told-to-send-in-odometer-readings-for-electric-vehicle-road-tax/   SPIED: LARGER AUDI E-TRON SUV FOR CHINESE MARKET SEEN TESTING   Original Source : https://www.quattrodaily.com/spied-larger-audi-e-tron-suv-for-chinese-market-seen-testing/   WATCH THE GMC HUMMER EV LAUNCH IN ‘WTF' MODE   Original Source : https://www.thedrive.com/news/41388/watch-the-gmc-hummer-ev-launch-in-wtf-mode   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM   If you could only afford one, would you rather - Solar Panels or battery storage?

The Aston Martin Vanquish was a touring car that existed through two generations, the second of which concluded production in 2018. That happened to be the same year that the automaker went public, and in the ensuing flood of paperwork, it was discovered that Aston Martin had quietly sold some assets.In this case, we learned that Aston Martin had unloaded the tooling and design drawings of the Vanquish to a third party for $26 million, but the buyer was never made public, rather, the company was referred to only as an “auto manufacturer.”Well, we’ve recently learned that the deal didn’t work out so well for Aston Martin, as the now-public car maker had to reveal to its shareholders that the multi-million-dollar deal was now being classified as “doubtful debt.”But reports suggest that the debt actually became “doubtful” almost before the ink was even dry on the contract. According to Automotive News Europe, the company who bought the Vanquish assets was Detroit Electric, an EV startup that’s not-so-clearly based in Hong Kong.Detroit Electric announced in 2017 that it would be developing three vehicles, including a sports car, leaving many wondering how they exactly planned to do that as a such a small company. The answer became clear when it was revealed that Detroit had been the one to buy the tooling for the Vanquish, likely with the plan to use the design as a model, rather than start from the ground up.But unfortunately for both companies, it’s been reported that Detroit couldn’t even make it’s first payment on time and that, now, Aston Martin is acknowledging that it likely won’t recover any of this money, alerting shareholders of the one-time write-off for the unreceived funds. Apparently getting a Chinese company to pay up in this type of scenario has usually been unsuccessful.Lucky for them, Aston Martin didn’t actually part with any of the assets and is reportedly shopping for a new buyer to take the contents of a plant in St. Athan, UK to make way for the full scale production of its new DBX model in 2020. There’s not much time, so get your offers in now.

Le News Autolink Duster Oroch Concept Disegnata dal centro stile Renault sudamericano di San Paolo, Duster Oroch rappresenta un’anticipazione di un pick-up a cinque posti che dovrebbe entrare in produzione di serie. Il prototipo è ispirato al mondo degli sport acquatici come il surf, il windsurf ed il kitesurf e riprende soluzioni stilistiche già adottate sulla D-Cross esposta a San Paolo due anni fa. Pensato per il tempo libero e la vita all’aria aperta, Duster Oroch è proposto in una colorazione bianco satinato di grande effetto, equipaggiato con barre portatutto e tetto panoramico. Detroit Electric SP-01 Dopo una lunga attesa, Detroit Electric, l’iconico marchio nel settore dei veicoli elettrici fondato nel 1906 e rinato nel 2008, ha svelato il design esterno di serie della SP:01. Una pura elettrica sportiva a due posti che la Casa si sta avviando a produrre in serie dal prossimo anno in Gran Bretagna. Disponibile in tiratura limitata, la SP:01 sarà la più veloce sportiva elettrica venduta in Asia, Europa e Nord America. La silhouette da coupé sostituisce gli archi che caratterizzavano i lati dei finestrini posteriori del prototipo presentato al Salone di Shanghai del 2013. Il motore elettrico consente una velocità di 249 km/h. Suzuki Swift Toro Edition Per suggellare il rinnovo della sponsorizzazione della squadra del Torino, Suzuki ha presentato un’inedita versione Toro Edition della piccola Swift, con una scenografica livrea bicolore che al grigio metallizzato della carrozzeria contrappone il tetto, gli specchi retrovisori e gli stripes su cofano, baule e paraurti nel classico colore granata.

Mai nella sua storia era arrivata a due milioni di unità prodotte di un unico modello in meno di otto anni di carriera. Il primato si deve al boom della Qashqai che dal dicembre del 2006 ad oggi ha raggiunto il prestigioso traguardo dei due milioni di esemplari costruiti presso lo stabilimento britannico di Sunderland. Il due milionesimo esemplare di colore rosso è destinato ad un cliente britannico. Ad oggi, l’85% delle Qashqai assemblate a Sunderland è stato esportato in 132 mercati, compresi Congo e Qatar. La Casa giapponese ha investito oltre 500 milioni di sterline per ammodernare una fabbrica che dà lavoro a circa 11 mila addetti e che garantisce un interessante indotto a tutta l’area circostante. Qashqai si sta così sempre più avvicinando al record di Micra assemblata in 2.368.704 esemplari nel periodo tra il 1992 e il 2010 nello stesso impianto di Sunderland. Jeep partner dei “Salotti del Gusto” 2014 Jeep si conferma anche questa stagione partner di “Salotti del Gusto”, l’evento ideato da Raffaella Corsi che abbina enogastronomia, test drive e lifestyle.

We'll be asking him about what it takes to build highways and byways that last, and we'll discuss how we're going to pay for it one way or the other. We'll have plenty of news on tap as well including the latest car sales breakdown. Also, the long-forgotten Detroit Electric has been revived in the form of a sporty Tesla-like model. Plus, the latest news on GM's full-size trucks: do they have what it takes to compete? Joining John McElroy in studio is co-host Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and Gary Vasilash from Automotive Design and Production.
