Im aktuellen Podcast hatte ich Dr. Michael Ruf zu Gast – President of European Market bei SuperPanther. Ein Name, der in Europa bislang noch nicht vielen geläufig sein dürfte, im Nutzfahrzeugbereich aber für einiges an Bewegung sorgen könnte. Denn SuperPanther hat ambitionierte Pläne: Der Hersteller aus China will bis 2030 rund 16.000 vollelektrische LKWs mit eigener Technologie auf europäische Straßen bringen – und das mit einem Mix aus lokaler Fertigung, datengetriebenem Energiemanagement und direktem Kundenkontakt. Die Basis dafür liefert ein Truck, der bereits in China im Einsatz ist. Dort wurde vor rund einem Jahr der erste E-LKW in Serie gebracht – eine schwere Zugmaschine mit 6x4-Konfiguration. Für Europa wird das Modell auf eine 4x2-Ausführung umgebaut. Die technische Entwicklung läuft vollständig in China, doch für den europäischen Markteintritt setzt man auf starke Partner: „Die Technologie kommt von uns, die Fertigung übernimmt Steyr Automotive in Österreich“, so Michael Ruf. Diese Kombination aus Hightech und Erfahrung soll Qualität und Verlässlichkeit garantieren. Beeindruckend ist vor allem die Detailtiefe, mit der SuperPanther das Gesamtsystem optimiert hat: Zwei Elektromotoren mit zusammen rund 500 kW Dauerleistung, ein durchgängig konstruiertes Achsgehäuse, Silizium-Carbid-Inverter mit Soft-Switching-Technologie, ein dreistufiges Thermomanagementsystem mit Wärmepumpe bis minus 30 Grad. Das spart nicht nur Energie – „Wir brauchen bis zu 60 Prozent weniger für Heizung und Kühlung“, sagt Ruf – sondern bringt auch bis zu 15 Prozent mehr Reichweite. Im Praxiseinsatz soll der Truck bis zu 500 Kilometer schaffen, Tendenz steigend. Die Batterie fasst über 600 kWh, geladen wird mit High Power Charging und perspektivisch auch per Megawatt-Charging. Ruf relativiert jedoch: „Die meisten Kunden brauchen das gar nicht – sie wollen lieber verlässlich und effizient laden, auch mal mit 50 kW, wenn's passt.“ Neben der Hardware hebt SuperPanther vor allem die Softwarekompetenz hervor. Da sämtliche Komponenten selbst entwickelt wurden, kann der Verbrauch in Echtzeit optimiert werden – sowohl fahrerunabhängig als auch durch personalisierte Anpassung. Erste Tests mit Kunden zeigten: „Wir haben die Verbrauchswerte von 1,3 auf 1,05 kWh pro Kilometer senken können – bei voll beladenem LKW.“ Ein Knackpunkt im Nutzfahrzeugmarkt ist das Thema Vertrauen. Ruf ist sich dessen bewusst: „Als neue Marke müssen wir mehr tun als andere – vor allem beim Service.“ Geplant sind ein zentrales Ersatzteillager, Vorhaltung von Teilen in Servicezentren und sogar Ersatztrucks im Fall der Fälle. Zudem setzt man auf Predictive Maintenance – inklusive DSGVO-konformer Datenspeicherung auf europäischen Servern. Auch beim Preis positioniert sich SuperPanther differenziert. Man wolle nicht Dumping betreiben, sondern ein attraktives Gesamtpaket anbieten – inklusive Ökosystem mit eigener Ladeinfrastruktur und optionaler Energiegewinnung. Der Vertrieb erfolgt direkt, mit enger Kundenbindung und individuellen Lösungen. „Wir wollen, dass unsere Kunden sagen: Das war gut gelöst.“ Der Serienstart in Europa ist für Mitte 2026 vorgesehen, erste Märkte sind Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz. Doch auch andere Länder seien denkbar – immer in Abhängigkeit vom Kundeninteresse. „Wenn einer aus Schweden kommt, machen wir es möglich.“ Und die europäische Variante wird dann sogar weiterentwickelt sein als die erste chinesische Version: „Die Kabine ist hochwertiger, die E-Achse leistungsfähiger – wir entwickeln kontinuierlich weiter.“ Nun aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch mit Dr. Michael Ruf einsteigen.

The Impact of US Tariffs on Chinese Brands with Chris PereiraIn the latest episode of the Asia Business Podcast, host Art Dicker sits down with Chris Pereira, CEO of Impact. Known for his flawless Chinese and extensive work with brands in China, Chris offers a wealth of insights into the complexities of the current trade environment, particularly focusing on the US-China relationship amidst ongoing global trade disruptions.Introducing Chris PereiraConnect with ChrisChris Pereira is a seasoned expert in facilitating business development among Chinese brands, helping them navigate Western markets, especially the US. His strategic acumen in bridging cultural gaps and understanding market dynamics has made him a respected figure in the industry. During the podcast, Chris shares his perspectives on how Chinese companies are coping with the current trade climate and potential future strategies.The Impact of Tariffs on Chinese BrandsAs tariffs continue to pose significant challenges, Chris highlights the differential impacts on companies, particularly those engaged in cross-border trade. Chinese sellers on platforms like Amazon face tightening conditions, necessitating a reevaluation of their market entries. In contrast, manufacturers with established operations in the US find themselves in a more favorable position to counter these barriers.Adapting Strategies Amid Trade TensionsChris discusses the strategic pivot many brands are considering, such as redirecting efforts towards more receptive markets like Europe. He emphasizes the importance of localization and maintaining operational agility to mitigate the effects of trade disruptions. Companies are advised to invest in strong local partnerships to better navigate these unsteady waters.Navigating Policy UncertaintyUncertainty in US trade policy is a prevailing concern for many of Chris's clients. This unpredictability has split businesses into those increasing local investments in the US and others exploring alternative markets, such as Germany. Chris points out that stability in local policy environments could encourage further foreign investments in manufacturing within the US.The Role of Chinese Expertise in Global ManufacturingAmidst these challenges, Chris sees potential for greater collaboration. He posits that Chinese technical expertise could be instrumental in reviving US manufacturing, aligning closely with incentives for foreign investment in American industries, potentially turning geopolitical friction into mutual growth opportunities.Future Outlook: Balancing Between Policy and Business RealitiesThe podcast delves into the potential consequences of prolonged trade disputes, including possible shifts in global reserve currencies. Chris suggests that current policies could inadvertently accelerate diversification strategies among Chinese businesses, ultimately impacting US influence globally.Building Resilience: Chris's Advice to BusinessesChris advises businesses to remain adaptable and proactive in securing market positions by fostering local relationships and considering broader strategic moves into less volatile markets. His counsel underscores the critical need for businesses to stay informed and responsive to rapidly evolving market conditions.Final ThoughtsIn this insightful exchange, Chris Pereira provides a nuanced understanding of the current trade milieu, offering practical advice for navigating an increasingly complex international landscape. His company, Impact, continues to aid businesses in making strategic transitions and achieving sustainable growth in uncertain times.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:53 Impact of Tariffs on Chinese Brands02:46 Localization vs. Export Challenges03:54 European Market Opportunities05:01 US Policy Uncertainty and Its Effects07:25 Manufacturing and Trade Dynamics09:30 Future of US-China Trade Relations12:24 Strategies for Chinese Companies22:15 Currency and Economic Speculations33:41 Closing Thoughts and OptimismBe sure to reach out to Chris and his team here: https://impact5r.com/  ProducerJacob ThomasFollow UsLinkedInApple Podcasts

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines 

Europe is concerned about the flow on effects of Donald Trump's tariffs. With a 145% tariff on China, there are fears that instead of cheap products making their way to the US, they'll be shipped to Europe, weaking local industries. Europe Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that although Trump cut the tariff on Europe, leaders are saying not to breathe a sigh of relief just yet.

On today's episode of Equity, Rebecca Bellan did a deep dive into the CrowdStrike outage that affected around 8.5 million Windows devices around the world, causing disruptions in air travel, banking, hospitals, media outlets, federal agencies and businesses of all kinds. The outage began when CrowdStrike, a cloud security giant, sent out a defective software update. While CrowdStrike quickly identified the issue and deployed a fix, the fallout continued over the weekend and will probably continue into this week, particularly for the travel sector. United, American and Delta airlines all collectively saw thousands of flights canceled and delayed, which will have ripple effects into the week. Rebecca went into how this outage – despite not being a cyberattack – has provided the world with a stark example of just how vulnerable our critical infrastructure systems are, a big problem if our adversaries decide to get any bright ideas. She also discussed the reputational damage CrowdStrike experienced, the startups that have smelled blood in the water and are poised to strike, and the potential need to regulate monopolies that offer essential services. Moving on, Rebecca took a look at what U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris's stance on technology has been, now that President Joe Biden has stepped out of the race for the presidency and officially endorsed his right hand. Harris appears to favor oversight for big tech companies to protect consumer privacy, as well as AI regulation to stop companies from prioritizing profits over people and society. While some big names in the VC and tech world have backed former President Donald Trump due to his laissez-faire approach to regulating AI and crypto (something we talked about on last week's Friday episode!), others in the industry have shown support for Harris. VCs like John Doerr and Ron Conway were among her early supporters, and as a presidential candidate, Harris was quickly endorsed by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. Rebecca also looked at a Reuters report detailing Nvidia's plans to build a version of its new flagship AI chips for the Chinese market that are compatible with current U.S. export controls. The U.S. tightened controls of exports of semiconductors to China in 2023, a move designed to limit the Chinese military's breakthroughs in supercomputing, but it appears Nvidia isn't so keen to let that market go. Finally, Rebecca took a look at a deep dive from TechCrunch's Paul Sawers on Yandex, once referred to as the “Google of Russia” and its comeback from Nasdaq limbo. Yandex's publicly traded Dutch entity has severed all ties with Russia, selling off the entirety of its Russian assets in a fire sale earlier this year. The “new” company has adopted the name of one of its few remaining assets, a Finnish data center and AI cloud platform called Nebuis AI. The company is now operating as something of a corporation-startup hybrid. Its goal? To be a European AI compute leader. Equity will be back on Wednesday to interview Maven Ventures's Sara Deshpande about why the VC is bullish on consumer funding and how venture is looking at AI companies, so tune back in then! Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

Mary Ann was off this week, and Kirsten took the lead with Becca Szkutak and Rebecca Bellan in the co-host seats. This episode is packed with deals, antitrust musings, AI and more, so let's get into it!For our first deal of the week,  one of the many lawsuits Musk faces after firing 6,000 Twitter employees after his 2022 takeover was dismissed. The result may be good news for Musk, but it doesn't eliminate Musk's legal troubles. Musk is facing at least one other lawsuit from CEO Parag Agrawal, who along with three other former Twitter Inc. executives are seeking $128 million in severance payments from X Corp. Next up, Rebecca broke down Microsoft's decision to leave its observer seat on OpenAI's board, after which the AI company will no longer host observers. The legacy tech giant said it has seen enough progress being made at OpenAI and is “confident in its direction,” but we're not exactly buying that Microsoft would give up such a coveted spot so easily. We suspect that the decision was fueled by ongoing antitrust scrutiny of Big Tech's influence over emerging AI players. After that, Becca talked about Duolingo's deal to buy Hobbes, a Detroit-based animation and motion design studio. Hobbes is a company that Duolingo has worked with for years on several features, including Duolingo Music, so it's interesting to see the acquisition happen at this stage. Maybe Hobbes was having money trouble and needed a lifeline? Either way, Duolingo is calling this an acqui-hire deal. While Hobbes isn't an AI company, we make a prediction that we'll see similar acquisitions of smaller AI startups as larger companies scoop up the AI startups they're already working with. We've been noticing a few stories lately that investigate what happens when a company's founder or owner dies. Today, Rebecca went over the story of Unseen Capital, whose founder Kayode Owens passed away in 2021 just after raising $30 million. The VC's mission was to help early-stage healthcare companies started by underrepresented founders. Pharma company Eli Lilly was one of Unseen's LPs, and in a move to protect its own investment while signaling confidence in Unseen's mission, has brokered a deal for Seae Ventures to acquire the unmoored VC. It's a good fit, as Seae Ventures is another diversity-focused VC firm.Meanwhile, a recent TC story on deep tech funding caught the Equity pod's attention. The gist: a recent survey of 30 deep tech VCs from eight countries found that very technical CEOs raise larger rounds. The survey also noted that pre-seed and Series A deep tech hardware rounds were bigger in 2023 than in 2022.While the survey seems to provide a rosy picture for technical CEOs, it does not provide a complete one. For instance, the survey focused on Europe, which got the Equity crew musing about whether those same stats would hold up in North America. And it followed rounds up through Series A. The Equity pod wondered if the results changed in Series B rounds and beyond. Plus, we think the rise of deep tech-focused funds may also play a role here too.Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Wednesday and Friday. Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.You also can follow Equity on X and Threads, at @EquityPod.

Here we are, once again from the bustling show floor at Infosecurity Europe 2024 in London, situated at the Excel Centre. Sean Martin of ITSP Magazine is your host, and he's joined by Dror Liwer, co-founder of CORO Security. Both are excited to dive deep into how CORO is expanding its focus into the European market.Day Three: Nonstop Conversations and PresentationsFrom the get-go, Dror shares his enthusiasm about being part of this prestigious event for the first time. With a primary presence in the U.S., CORO is now aggressively moving into EMEA, starting right here in London. This move is in response to increasing demand from small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe who need robust cybersecurity solutions.Addressing the Security Needs of SMEsSean recalls the comprehensive capabilities of CORO discussed in previous episodes. CORO provides multiple layers of security tailored to an organization's specific needs, such as regulatory requirements, budget, and staffing capabilities. Sean encourages everyone to revisit those insightful seven-minute chats from RSA Conference to get an in-depth view.Dror emphasizes that CORO is unique in targeting the mid-market from the ground up, unlike other companies that retrofit enterprise solutions to fit smaller businesses. With a focus on simplicity and powerful protection, CORO ensures that its solutions are manageable even for lean IT teams.Navigating the Complexities of EuropeOne of the significant discussions revolves around the differences between the U.S. and European markets. While Sean and Dror acknowledge the similar types of cyber threats faced globally, operational nuances like data residency and privacy regulations differ widely across Europe. CORO has established a data center in Germany to comply with local data residency requirements, ensuring that email and file inspections stay within the EU boundaries.Real-World Applications and ChallengesSean drives the conversation into the specific challenges CORO has faced and the different attack scenarios in Europe compared to the U.S. Dror mentions that while SME awareness of being targets has been prevalent in the U.S. for a while, European SMEs are just beginning to realize the same. As a result, CORO is educating this market about the imminent threats and how to efficiently protect against them without becoming overwhelmed.The Importance of AffordabilityDror and Sean discuss the financial challenges faced by SMEs, such as difficult decisions on whether to invest in cybersecurity or other critical needs like educational resources.

Here we are, once again from the bustling show floor at Infosecurity Europe 2024 in London, situated at the Excel Centre. Sean Martin of ITSP Magazine is your host, and he's joined by Dror Liwer, co-founder of CORO Security. Both are excited to dive deep into how CORO is expanding its focus into the European market.Day Three: Nonstop Conversations and PresentationsFrom the get-go, Dror shares his enthusiasm about being part of this prestigious event for the first time. With a primary presence in the U.S., CORO is now aggressively moving into EMEA, starting right here in London. This move is in response to increasing demand from small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe who need robust cybersecurity solutions.Addressing the Security Needs of SMEsSean recalls the comprehensive capabilities of CORO discussed in previous episodes. CORO provides multiple layers of security tailored to an organization's specific needs, such as regulatory requirements, budget, and staffing capabilities. Sean encourages everyone to revisit those insightful seven-minute chats from RSA Conference to get an in-depth view.Dror emphasizes that CORO is unique in targeting the mid-market from the ground up, unlike other companies that retrofit enterprise solutions to fit smaller businesses. With a focus on simplicity and powerful protection, CORO ensures that its solutions are manageable even for lean IT teams.Navigating the Complexities of EuropeOne of the significant discussions revolves around the differences between the U.S. and European markets. While Sean and Dror acknowledge the similar types of cyber threats faced globally, operational nuances like data residency and privacy regulations differ widely across Europe. CORO has established a data center in Germany to comply with local data residency requirements, ensuring that email and file inspections stay within the EU boundaries.Real-World Applications and ChallengesSean drives the conversation into the specific challenges CORO has faced and the different attack scenarios in Europe compared to the U.S. Dror mentions that while SME awareness of being targets has been prevalent in the U.S. for a while, European SMEs are just beginning to realize the same. As a result, CORO is educating this market about the imminent threats and how to efficiently protect against them without becoming overwhelmed.The Importance of AffordabilityDror and Sean discuss the financial challenges faced by SMEs, such as difficult decisions on whether to invest in cybersecurity or other critical needs like educational resources. Dror emphasizes that CORO has priced its suite of security solutions to remove this barrier, making comprehensive coverage affordable for even the smallest enterprises.Team and Technology: The Backbone of COROThe conversation takes a moment to appreciate CORO's dedicated team. Sean praises the high energy and mutual support visible at CORO's booth.

Well, if you are a big TikTok fan and live in the United States, I have some bad news for you: A bill that would force a sale of TikTok or ban it in the United States passed the Senate. And the President is expected to sign it. Given that China has made noise that it will not allow a sale of the social media company that is headquartered in Singapore, but is owned by Chinese company Bytedance, it's not looking good for TikTok in the States.But if that has you bummed out, don't worry, we have lots of pretty positive news to discuss as well.

Clare's Green senator has lambasted what she's described as an "insane" international trade deal which will threaten small farmers' livelihoods. The EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement, which is yet to be ratified by the Irish government, would see the removal of trade barriers between EU countries and Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, resulting in a €4 billion reduction in tariffs each year. If implemented, 99,000 tonnes of South America beef would enter the European Market each year and outgoing Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has previously stated his opposition to the deal in its current form. Inagh Green Party Senator Róisín Garvey says allowing South American beef to flood Europe would have a devastating effect on the Irish agricultural sector.

Today, Alex got Deepka Rana from Northzone on the mic to chat through a bevy of key topics for the new year:Where venture capital is heading in the new yearThe prognosis for startups at different stages of maturityWhy 2023 was the year of adjustment, and 2024 could be the new venture-startup normalAnd, the fate of AI in the EU where regulation is afoot. (n.b. When we recorded this, the EU's first-draft of AI regulation had not yet dropped).We think that every person in startups and venture is hoping that 2024 brings a warmer macroeconomic environment, and lots of exits. We'll see. What was clear from our chat with Rana, however, is that the new year is going to be anything but boring.We have two more episodes headed your way before we officially wrap up 2023, so stay close to Equity!Connect with Equity on X and Threads @EquityPods, and keep up with all of TechCrunch's podcasts @TechCrunchPods on TikTok.For episode transcripts and more, head to Equity's Simplecast website.Equity drops at 7 a.m. PT every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.
