¡Alarma roja en el Garaje Hermético! Hoy venimos decididos a pisar charcos de los grandes y a criticar sin piedad a diez marcas legendarias que, ya sea por errores en los despachos, por regulaciones poco acertadas o por modas absurdas, han traicionado su alma. Hoy hablamos claro y, como siempre, con cero filtros. Comenzamos con Alfa Romeo. De ser la referencia absoluta del "Cuore Sportivo" y la marca que enseñó al mismísimo Enzo Ferrari, ha pasado a lanzar el Junior: un coche fabricado en Polonia que, en esencia, es un Peugeot 2008 o un Opel Mokka con una parrilla triangular. La marca ha diluido su herencia técnica compartiendo plataformas generalistas y enterrando sus gloriosos motores históricos bajo montañas de SUVs. BMW también nos duele en el corazón. Durante décadas, su eslogan "¿Te gusta conducir?" era un objetivo sagrado para sus ingenieros, regalándonos joyas como el M3 E46. Hoy, la junta directiva parece obsesionada con los excesos visuales para el mercado asiático. El ejemplo perfecto es el BMW XM, un mastodonte SUV híbrido enchufable de 2.710 kilos con parrilas gigantescas retroiluminadas. Han abandonado la ligereza y la pureza en favor de una ostentación tecnológica desmedida. Llegamos a Maranello. Ferrari juró que jamás haría un SUV. Se lo perdonamos a regañadientes con el Purosangue porque mantuvieron un V12 atmosférico, pero el anuncio del Ferrari Luce, un SUV cien por cien eléctrico de cinco plazas, rompe los cimientos de la marca. Han sustituido el sonido inconfundible de sus escapes por altavoces que emiten ruido artificial para simular una emoción que ya no existe. El caso de Jaguar es directamente un suicidio comercial. Dinamitaron su prestigio de elegancia británica eliminando el histórico emblema del felino saltando por unas letras geométricas sin alma. Paralizaron sus ventas en Europa para prepararse para una etapa eléctrica y ultracara, persiguiendo a un público que ni quiere ni puede pagar lo que piden, renegando de sus clientes tradicionales. Lancia sufrió un lento asesinato corporativo. Tras dominar el Mundial de Rallyes con el Stratos, el 037 y el Delta Integrale, los gestores le cortaron el presupuesto, le pegaron el escudo a pesados modelos de Chrysler y hoy su anunciada resurrección se limita al nuevo Ypsilon, un utilitario que mecánicamente es un Peugeot 208 o un Opel Corsa. Land Rover pasó de crear herramientas de trabajo indestructibles, capaces de cruzar desiertos y arreglarse con un martillo, a producir SUVs hipertecnológicos para el lujo extremo. Hoy se han convertido en sinónimo de problemas de fiabilidad y fallos de seguridad tan graves en sus llaves inteligentes que incluso algunas aseguradoras británicas se niegan a darles cobertura. La traición definitiva a Colin Chapman la firma Lotus. Su mantra era restar peso para ser rápido en todas partes, dando vida a maravillas minimalistas de setecientos kilos. Tras ser adquirida por el gigante asiático Geely, nació el Lotus Eletre: un enorme SUV eléctrico fabricado en China que sobrepasa los 2.600 kilos y representa todo lo que su fundador detestaba. Mercedes-Benz, a través de su división AMG, ha decidido matar el V8. La receta clásica de meter un motor descomunal y brutal en una berlina sobria ha sido sustituida en el actual C63 AMG por un motor de cuatro cilindros y dos litros acoplado a un pesadísimo sistema híbrido enchufable. El coche pesa una barbaridad, tiene un tacto sintético y suena a electrodoméstico. Mitsubishi, el coloso japonés que dominaba el Dakar con el Montero y los rallyes con el Lancer Evolution, cayó tras escándalos corporativos y fue absorbida por la alianza Renault-Nissan. Los contables tomaron el mando, mataron sus mitos y hoy, si vas a comprar un Colt o un ASX, te entregan un Renault Clio o un Captur a los que solo les han cambiado el logo. Cerramos con Porsche. Salvaron los muebles con el Cayenne, pero hoy es fundamentalmente una fábrica de SUVs y grandes berlinas que usa sus enormes beneficios para mantener vivo al 911. Sin embargo, el rumbo purista se agota: han convertido al Macan en un coche exclusivamente eléctrico y la nueva generación del 911 ya incorpora un sistema híbrido que añade peso y complejidad electrónica al icono de Stuttgart. En conclusión, el pragmatismo despiadado, las absurdas regulaciones impuestas desde los despachos y la obsesión por el beneficio económico han desfigurado los valores de estas marcas. El alma de un coche se mide en lo que te hace sentir al encender el motor en una mañana fría, y tristemente, parece que se han olvidado de ello.

In 2025 alone, battery EVs already displaced 57 million barrels of oil and kept about €4 billion in European wealth inside the bloc, with the report urging faster electrification alongside a stronger industrial base and energy resilience.FORD AND GEELY PLAN VALENCIA JOINT VENTUREFord and Geely Auto are forming a Europe-focused joint venture at Ford's Valencia plant in Spain, with Ford owning 66% and Geely 34%, aiming to start operations in early 2027 and begin production in 2028. The venture will build a new compact Bronco, a jointly developed multi-energy crossover, and two Geely-branded electric SUVs, while Kuga production continues uninterrupted during the transition.SENATE BILL COULD BAR MERCEDES FROM USThe Senate Commerce Committee advanced bipartisan legislation barring automakers with more than 15% Chinese ownership from selling cars in the US, a threshold Mercedes-Benz would exceed due to nearly 20% Chinese investor ownership. Committee chair Ted Cruz said the bill would effectively ban Mercedes, though the company would have until 2030 to comply or seek a waiver, with the measure still needing full Senate and House approval plus a presidential signature.RIVIAN CUTS BATTERY COST WITH STRUCTURAL PACKRivian slashed R2 battery-pack cost by switching to large-format 4695 cells, cutting cell count from 7,776 to 776, and making the pack structural to the vehicle floor, saving about 7mm of space used for extra protection and venting. The company made the pack non-serviceable at the cell level to simplify validation, instead consolidating serviceable electronics into a rear-seat "powerhouse" that cut high-voltage cabling by roughly 70% versus R1.TESLA SHEDS $214.5 BILLION AFTER EARNINGSTesla shares fell 14.5% to $319.69 after disappointing Q2 earnings, wiping $214.5 billion off its market value in the largest one-day loss in company history. The drop followed missed expectations, a more cautious timeline for Cybercab, Semi and Megapack 3, and Tesla's first negative free cash flow in two years amid $5.8 billion in quarterly capital spending.TESLA PUSHES BACK 2026 PRODUCTION GOALSTesla no longer expects volume production of the Cybercab, Semi, Megapack 3 or Optimus in 2026, blaming the need to scale 4680 battery output, even as quarterly revenue rose 26% to $28.2 billion on stronger deliveries. Despite the sales rebound, net income fell 5% to $1.1 billion, free cash flow turned negative $1 billion, and 2026 capital expenditure is now expected to reach $25 billion.DENZA Z9 GT OPENS UK ORDERSBYD's luxury brand Denza has opened UK orders for the Z9 GT shooting brake, starting at £105,000 for the EV and £95,000 for the plug-in hybrid, more than triple its Chinese starting price. The EV offers up to 599 km WLTP range, a 122.49 kWh Blade Battery 2.0 pack, tri-motor output of about 1,140 hp, and Flash Charging claiming 10-70% in roughly 5 minutes, as BYD tests premium pricing with a Daniel Craig/James Bond campaign.CARMAKERS PRESS UK TO REOPEN 2035 BANBMW, Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Bosch privately urged UK ministers in April to keep combustion, hybrid and range-extender vehicles on sale beyond 2035, citing the EU's softened 90% target and customer demand concerns. The Department for Transport insisted the 2035 phase-out is not being renegotiated, while critics including Polestar's UK boss and thinktank ECIU warned that delay risks jobs and climate goals despite the manufacturers employing about 30,000 people in the UK.BMW IX1 AND IX2 WIN FULL UK GRANTBMW secured the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant for the iX1 and iX2 in the UK, tied to its Science Based Targets commitment and the Regensburg plant's renewable energy use, making the iX1 eDrive20 Sport start at £33,315, cheaper than its petrol X1 equivalent. BMW also added a new, more affordable iX2 eDrive20 Sport variant at the same £33,315 starting price, alongside other grant-eligible trims.NHTSA OPENS RULE ON CAR DOOR ESCAPENHTSA has opened formal rulemaking on requiring reliable manual door-escape systems in new US cars, responding to a petition citing incidents where flush, electronic door handles—used notably by Tesla—trapped occupants after crashes or power loss. Bloomberg reported at least 15 deaths linked to such failures, and any final rule could force manufacturers to add mechanical backups and revise crash-test protocols, though the process is expected to take months to years.

FOLLOW UP: COURT MAINLY RULES IN FAVOUR OF OEMS IN UK DIESELGATE TRIALA UK judge has found mostly in favour of car manufacturers in the claims against them regarding defeat devices being fitted to cars between 2012 and 2017. The judge's decision is based on her decision that a defeat device needs to be deliberately installed to create a different driving operation if it senses it is in test conditions, but this has not been proven to be the case.

As a result of feedback they have tweaked how the proposal will work. Vehicles under three years old will not have to undertake an additional check to the mileage prior to their age requiring an MOT. A picture of the odometer and an estimation of next years mileage will be sent by the driver. Drivers can opt-in to send the Government the vehicle's mileage data directly via the connected systems on-board, if they wish. This is not mandatory.

The claim is it sits between a grand tourer and an SUV. The images issued appear to show the typical bluff Range Rover range front end, with a coupe style rear. Either this is a brilliant move to capture buyers who've lost out due to Porsche leaving or many years too late. The interior is really leaning into ‘minamilist', with a very thin screen directly on top of the dash in front of the driver and a huge screen slapped in the middle, quite low down. Prices and specifications are yet to be revealed. Click this Autocar article link, for more.Dacia StrikerDacia has revealed their latest model, the Striker. The overall design concept, jacked-up estate, is reminiscent of the Subaru Outback. Prices will start at a smidgen under £25,000, when launched in the UK, but the full price and specifications are yet to be released.

David Brown and Paul Murrell unpack BYD's full refund offer after a model-year mix-up, assess new budget EVs from Geely, and examine why plug-in hybrid utes could be the practical choice for Australian buyers. They also explore Chinese brands' sales performance, adaptive traffic signal technology, award-winning future vehicle concepts, and the evolution of automotive design before wrapping up with a road test of Mazda's CX-80 diesel SUV. Episode Breakdown • BYD model-year refund controversy — 00:01:04 • Geely EX2 and affordable EVs — 00:08:50 • JAC Hunter PHEV ute and market trends — 00:18:17 • SAIC, MG and Chinese brand performance — 00:26:05 • Traffic signals and Telstra outage impacts — 00:35:14 • Future vehicle concepts and design history — 00:43:54 • Mazda CX-80 road test — 00:52:10 BYD model-year refund controversy David and Paul discuss BYD's decision to offer full refunds after some buyers received 2025 vehicles they believed were 2026 models. They examine the impact on resale value, consumer confidence and the importance of checking model-year details and equipment before purchase. Geely EX2 and affordable EVs The new Geely EX2 enters Australia with aggressive pricing, LFP battery technology and practical packaging aimed at city buyers. The pair also discuss vehicle safety, crumple zones, storage innovations and why thoughtful design matters as much as specifications. JAC Hunter PHEV ute and market trends Attention turns to JAC's plug-in hybrid Hunter ute, with discussion around towing, electric tool charging, real-world practicality and why PHEVs may suit tradies better than full EV utes for now.

Ford and Geely? It's the partnership nobody saw coming.In this podcast special, Ginny Buckley and Tom Barnard are joined by "the Godfather of the Nissan Leaf", former Nissan COO and Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer, to unpack one of the biggest stories in the automotive industry this year.Why has Ford turned to Chinese giant Geely to help build its future European models? Is this simply a smart way to cut costs, or does it signal a much bigger shift in the global car industry? And what does Geely stand to gain?The team discusses what the deal means for consumers, whether buyers still care where their cars are made, the risks Ford is taking, and whether this is the latest step in the company's transformation from traditional manufacturer into a global automotive brand. They also look at the future of familiar names like Capri, Explorer and Bronco, and ask why manufacturers are still investing in combustion engines alongside electric cars.It's a fascinating conversation about the changing face of the car industry – and what it could mean for the cars we'll all be driving in the years ahead.

Thị trường xe hơi và nay là xe điện (electric car-EV) của Anh có truyền thống bị quốc tế hóa từ lâu, với các tập đoàn Nhật, Hàn, Pháp, Đức và Trung Quốc. Nhưng gần đây, sự xuất hiện của xe Trung Quốc và xe nhãn hiệu châu Âu nhưng do công ty Trung Quốc đầu tư sản xuất trở thành hiện tượng nổi bật. Các dòng xe Trung Quốc vào Anh tăng nhanh tới mức nào và tại sao người Anh ưa chuộng xe Trung Quốc? Theo các tạp chí chuyên ngành, từ năm 2024 đến hết 2025, xe hơi mới do Trung Quốc sản xuất đăng ký sử dụng ở Anh đã tăng gần gấp đôi, từ 100 nghìn xe lên gần 200 nghìn, chiếm khoảng 10% xe hơi đăng ký mới ở Anh (2 triệu xe). Điều đáng nói là số bán rất ngoạn mục thể hiện ba điều đặc biệt. Một là các nhãn hiệu xe Trung Quốc từ chỗ mấy năm trước không ai biết đến mà nay đã rất phổ biến. Các tạp chí xe, chương trình TV, mạng xã hội đều tham gia quảng cáo xe Trung Quốc rất mạnh. Thứ hai là xe Trung Quốc rất đa dạng về chủng loại, về nhãn hiệu chứ không phải chỉ có vài loại từ một nước. Ví dụ như Pháp thường bán sang Anh xe Peugeot, Renault, Nhật thì có Nissan, Toyota, Mazda...Xe Trung Quốc ngay lập tức có ít nhất hơn 10 loại, từ các tập đoàn khác nhau. Thứ ba là Trung Quốc dẫn đầu về số xe điện EV đăng ký ở Anh. Nếu tính xe Trung Quốc và cả các dòng xe châu Âu nhưng thực tế là sản xuất, lắp ráp, đặt pin ở Trung Quốc, thì tới 27,9% xe EV bán ở Anh là đến từ Trung Quốc. Cụ thể hơn, các dòng xe Trung Quốc đang ồ ạ vào Anh là gì? Sức cạnh tranh là nhờ rẻ hơn xe các nước khác, hay có gì nổi trội nữa? Tạp chí xe Motorpoint nêu ra 26 nhãn hiệu xe Trung Quốc hàng đầu đã và sắp vào Anh (26 Chinese car brands coming for the UK market), trong đó có tới 18 nhãn hiệu đã được bán ở Anh. Nổi bật nhất là 4 loại xe: ·       Chery Tiggo 8: Được trang Carwow ở Anh bình chọn là Xe của Năm. Chiếc SUV gia đình hybrid cắm sạc (PHEV) này gây ấn tượng với khoang cabin cảm giác cao cấp, tính thực dụng và mức giá cạnh tranh. ·       MG4 EV: Được trang What Car? khen là xe điện nhỏ tốt nhất. Các chuyên gia đánh giá là lái ổn, giá rẻ và phạm vi dùng pin khá rộng. ·       BYD Dolphin Surf: Được Auto Express nhấn mạnh là một trong những xe điện đô thị hàng đầu, có cabin rộng rãi, trang thiết bị phong phú và giá khởi điểm chưa tới 19 nghìn bảng Anh. ·       Jaecoo 7: Từng bị phê phán trên các tạp chí xe hơi Anh, chiếc SUV gia đình dẻo dai này đã trở thành cơn sốt doanh số lớn ở Vương quốc Anh nhờ kiểu dáng sắc nét và khoang cabin công nghệ cao.. Ngoài ra còn Xpeng 6, Changan, SkyWell là các nhãn mác khác đang dần vào Anh... Xe TQ cạnh tranh tốt nhờ giá thấp, từ 3-5 nghìn bảng mỗi chiếc xe mới cùng hạng. Xin so sánh một chút: Những ai sử dụng một số đồ điện như nồi cơm điện của Xiaomi và đồng hồ điện tử của hãng này nên biết là Xiaomi cũng làm xe hơi động cơ điện và xe này sẽ tới Anh nay mai. Hàng điện tử, từ loa đài, điện thoại thông minh, đồ gia dụng Trung Quốc bán ở Anh đều rẻ hơn 10-15%, đôi khi 20% so với hàng châu Âu. Xe hơi và xe điện cũng vậy. Ví dụ, MG HS của TQ cạnh tranh đồng hạng với Kia Sportage, nhưng bán với giá rẻ hơn, từ 6 đến 8 nghìn bảng. Người Anh nay đã biết nền tảng cơ khí và công nghiệp Trung Quốc quá mạnh, nên một công ty làm điện thoại, đồng hồ cũng có thể chuyển sang làm ô-tô chỉ trong một vài năm. Người ta nói ở Trung Quốc sản xuất xe hơi nay như làm bánh mì vậy. Tại sao ngành ô-tô Trung Quốc chọn Anh? Lý do đầu tiên là thương chiến Mỹ-Trung và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu (EU)-Trung Quốc. Anh là nước duy nhất không áp thuế cao lên xe EV của Trung Quốc nên khi bán vào Anh, các hãng Trung Quốc có biên độ lợi nhuận khác hẳn với việc bán vào Hoa Kỳ và EU. Ví dụ, xe điện Trung Quốc bán vào EU chịu thuế nhập khẩu từ 7,8% tới 35,3% tùy phần trăm vật liệu và công nghệ, còn ở Anh thuế chỉ có 10%. Lý do thứ nhì là thị trường xe hơi Anh trên thực tế đã lọt vào tay các tập đoàn nước ngoài sau đợt tự do hóa từ mấy chục năm trước. Ở Anh, ngành xe hơi hiện có trị giá thị trường 100 tỷ bảng, tuyển dụng hơn 700 nghìn người, nên là một mũi nhọn của nền kinh tế, nhưng từ lâu nay đều là do các tập đoàn nước ngoài của Nhật, Đức và các nước khác đầu tư và sản xuất. Sự có mặt của các công ty Trung Quốc là chuyện bình thường. Chỉ có điều là họ vào quá nhanh và bán quá tốt. Lý do thứ ba,  các công ty Trung Quốc lâu nay đã mua lại các dòng xe châu Âu, như MG, Lotus của Anh hay Volvo của Thụy Điển. Tôi đi xe Volvo nên biết rằng Geely từ Chiết Giang  làm chủ hãng này, xe sản xuất ở Bỉ, lắp vô-lăng tay lái nghịch theo hệ của Anh để bán sang Anh. Chi tiết đó cho thấy tiền đầu tư của Trung Quốc đã có ở châu Âu, gồm Anh, nhiều năm rồi. Tới đây, Geely sẽ bán sang Anh các dòng xe Geely, Zeekr, Farizon, bên cạnh Polestar, Lotus, Smart, Volvo, LEVC đã có mặt. Ví dụ nữa, MG là tập đoàn truyền thống của Anh được công ty SAIC của Trung Quốc sở hữu và triển khai khá nhiều nhãn hiệu xe ở Anh. Điều đáng nói là một số tạp chí xe của Anh không coi MG là ‘xe Trung Quốc' nữa mà xếp vào mục xe Made in the UK – Sản xuất tại Vương quốc Anh. Chiến lược tới đây của các tập đoàn xe Trung Quốc với nước Anh ? Thị trường Anh được cho là ‘phòng thí nghiệm' cho công ty xe hơi và xe điện Trung Quốc. Ngoài lý do thuế quan thấp, các công ty xe hơi Trung Quốc có hai chiến lược thâm nhập thị trường Anh. Một là các nhà chế tạo xe ở Trung Quốc đã làm chủ các thương hiệu mạnh thì họ sẽ nhấn mạnh vào tính truyền thống, như thể họ đã làm một phần của văn hóa xe hơi ở Anh và châu Âu. Ví dụ MG bán xe theo phong cách Anh. Leapmotor, công ty khác của Trung Quốc, thì hợp tác với Stellantis và trình bày hình ảnh họ thuộc đại gia đình xe châu Âu gồm Vauxhall (ở Đức là Opel), Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat… để bán xe ‘quen thuộc' với người Anh. Từ đó, họ sẽ bán xe sang các nước nói tiếng Anh, dựa vào dòng thông tin tiếng Anh toàn cầu. Đó là một phần của chiến lược marketing và giành thị phần toàn cầu mà Anh Quốc là mắt xích quan trọng. Hai là chiến lược của các dòng xe rất mới, tên khá lạ, từ Omoda tới BYD, Changan, Xiaomi, Chery, Skywell, GWM (Great Wall Motor-xe Trường Thành)...thì chọn hẳn tương lai của ngành xe điện, trình bày sản phẩm thuộc thế hệ mới, xe EV, plug-in hybrids, bán pin có thời gian chạy được lâu. Hiện nay, xe điện mới chiếm chưa tới 50% xe hơi mới bán ra ở Anh, nên tiềm năng của thị trường Anh còn rất lớn, nhờ chính sách thúc đẩy chuyển đổi năng lượng xanh của chính phủ. Các công ty TQ đang chờ sẵn. Có những ý kiến trái chiều nào về xe Trung Quốc ở Anh ? Có những bài bình luận nói một số loại xe EV của Trung Quốc khi trời lạnh, pin bị hao nhanh hơn mức được quảng cáo. Có loại xe bị chê là vỏ quá mỏng, sơn chưa đạt nên chóng hoen rỉ. Còn theo nhà báo Stuart Masson viết trên trang The Car Expert, nhiều xe mới của Trung Quốc bị chê là có quá nhiều màn hình (screen-heavy), màu sắc nhấp nháy, và thiếu ‘cảm giác châu Âu' (European feel) khi lái. Vô-lăng xe có khi như là bộ phận đồ chơi điện tử. Xe Trung Quốc cũng nổi tiếng với nhiều tính năng giải trí bên trong, có các app, phần mềm và màn hình nhiều hơn so với xe châu Âu. Nhưng kiểu thiết kế đầy ắp các chức năng điện tử thế chưa chắc đã được người châu Âu thích. Vì thế, Trung Quốc sẽ thử bán ở Anh, thu thập ý kiến khách hàng để cải thiện sản phẩm. Chúng ta biết dân châu Âu đã có cả trăm năm chơi xe hơi nên cách lái, cách ứng xử trong xe là cả một bề dày văn hóa. Đó là thứ người Trung Quốc chưa làm được. Nhưng Masson viết, sau khi ông đi thăm các nhà máy xe ở Trung Quốc về, phía Trung Quốc hiểu điều này và học rất nhanh cách khắc phục những lỗi sản xuất. Với họ, việc đem vào Anh nhiều loại xe khác nhau, đáp ứng các nhu cầu khác nhau của người dân trong cuộc sống là cách ‘thí nghiệm' để sau đó cải tiến và bán sang các nước nói tiếng Anh trên toàn cầu.

If we look at car durability, safety, comfort, efficiency (and features we could never dream of a few decades back), many new cars are a bargain relative to their equivalents. Canada opens its market to 49,000 Chinese-made Xpengs, BYD, Geely, Xaomi cars. However, Tesla's Chinese factory may be first to eagerly respond to that ruling.

Im aktuellen Gespräch habe ich Stefan Lundin zu Gast, den Chief Communications Officer von Geely Holding Europe. Stefan ist seit elf Jahren im Geely-Kosmos tätig und kennt den Konzern aus so vielen Perspektiven wie kaum jemand sonst - vom Forschungszentrum über den Campus-Aufbau in Göteborg bis hin zur heutigen Arbeit an der Markenstrategie für Europa. Wir starten mit einer Frage, die simpel klingt, aber alles andere als einfach zu beantworten ist: Was ist Geely eigentlich? Chinesisches Unternehmen? Globaler Konzern? Stefan bringt es auf den Punkt - "ein globaler Konzern, der in China geboren wurde" - und erklärt, warum selbst intern je nach Standort eine andere Antwort kommt. In Göteborg sieht man Geely als weit entfernten Investor, in Hangzhou denkt man bei "Geely" an etwas ganz anderes. Dann gehen wir die Marken durch - und zwar strukturiert. Volvo Cars und Polestar als westliche Marken mit langer europäischer Geschichte. Lynk & Co und Zeekr, die in Göteborg erfunden wurden, aber mit chinesischer Führung und Produktion. Geely Auto als ursprünglich chinesische Marke, die jetzt nach Europa drängt. Dabei räumt Stefan auch mit einem verbreiteten Missverständnis auf: Plattform und Architektur sind nicht dasselbe - und das hat praktische Konsequenzen dafür, wie viel die Modelle wirklich teilen. Ein zentrales Thema ist die Frage der Markenkannibalisierung. Stefan spricht offen über eine Phase, in der Wachstum über Klarheit ging. Die Taizhou-Deklaration von Li Shufu markiert hier einen Wendepunkt: Zeekr, Lynk & Co und Geely Auto werden unter der Geely Auto Group zusammengeführt, mit klarer Segmentierung von Volumen bis Premium. Zum Schluss geht es um die Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie des Konzerns - und darum, warum Geely gleichzeitig auf CO2-Neutralität bis 2045 zielt und in Methanol-Hybride investiert. Stefans Antwort ist globaler als erwartet: Wer nur auf Europa und China schaut, sieht nur einen Teil des Bildes.

Netflix Is Struggling to Stay on Top…. and the Stock Reflects It For years, Netflix has been the dominant force in streaming, consistently taking market share from its competitors. However, recent data suggests the competition is beginning to chip away at that lead.   Netflix reported earnings last week, and the results showed a company that is executing well. Profits continue to grow, customer cancellations remain among the lowest in the industry, and the company is still producing blockbuster franchises like Bridgerton and Stranger Things that attract millions of viewers.   The concern in the report wasn't profitability, it was engagement. Viewer engagement measures how much time subscribers spend watching content and how often they complete a movie or series. The more engaged customers are, the less likely they are to cancel their subscription in favor of another streaming service. That's why this metric is so important.   Netflix still accounted for 7.8% of total TV viewing in April, making it the largest subscription streaming platform. However, that was its lowest share since May 2025, suggesting competitors are gradually gaining ground.   The stock has reflected those concerns, declining roughly 40% over the past year despite continued earnings growth. I've always liked what Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings had to say as he frequently emphasized the importance of staying focused and keeping the business simple. That's a philosophy that has served our investment firm well over the years.   Now, with increasing competition from Disney, HBO Max, YouTube, and others, Netflix is reportedly exploring additional subscription offerings similar to what Amazon and Apple provide. Personally, I think that would be a mistake.   At this year's Emmy Awards, Netflix earned 111 nominations. Instead of expanding into new subscription services, why not invest even more heavily in creating award-winning shows and movies? If they produced enough quality content to earn 120 or even 130 Emmy nominations next year, subscriber engagement would likely take care of itself.   Sometimes the best strategy isn't to do more, it's to do one thing exceptionally well. What do you think? Have you canceled or considered canceling your Netflix subscription? Or do you still believe Netflix offers the best streaming service?   U.S. oil supplies are falling to concerning levels U.S. oil inventories have fallen to levels that should be a concern. The current U.S. oil stockpile is just under 410 million barrels. On a seasonal basis, we have not seen inventories this low since 2018. The seasonal comparison is important because summer is one of the highest-consumption periods of the year.   The U.S. consumes about 20.6 million barrels of oil per day, produces approximately 13.9 million barrels per day, and relies on imports for roughly 7 million barrels per day. At the same time, the United States exports about 4 million barrels of oil per day, likely because companies can receive higher prices for that oil in international markets. If we somehow stopped producing and importing oil entirely, the current commercial stockpile would last roughly 20 days.   The Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which has been reduced to approximately 317 million barrels, is also at its lowest level since 1983. At current consumption rates, that reserve would represent roughly 15 days of consumption.   Replenishing U.S. oil inventories to higher levels could take many months or even years. Now with WTI oil around $90 a barrel that higher price could actually be a good thing.   You may be wondering why I would say that, especially since higher oil prices often mean higher gas prices at the pump, but higher gas prices may encourage consumers and businesses to reduce their energy consumption. A lower consumption rate could help slow the decline in inventories and give the U.S. a chance to rebuild its oil supplies.   Over the last six months, have you found yourself reducing your energy usage? And do you plan to reduce your consumption going forward?   Banks Had a Great Quarter, Is It Time to Invest? Last week, the banks reported financial results that topped estimates for both earnings and revenue. They also showed improved efficiency as expenses declined as a percentage of revenue. After such a strong quarter, you might think the coast is clear and it's time to invest in the banking sector.   For the cautious investor, however, it's important to look at the other side of the coin. I'm not expecting the banks to fall dramatically but returns going forward could be more muted because of several factors.   First, there is net interest margin, which measures the difference between what a bank earns on its assets and what it pays depositors and debt holders to borrow money. Banks now have very large balance sheets, so even if net interest margins decline, the dollar amount of profits can remain substantial. However, further pressure on margins could still become a headwind for future earnings growth.   There are also other risks for conservative investors to consider. The ongoing situation with Iran could create additional uncertainty. The AI boom could experience a rough patch, and while the economy and labor markets appear strong right now, investors cannot ignore the possibility of an economic slowdown.   Rising interest rates could also prove difficult for banks if rates move significantly higher from current levels, potentially putting pressure on their profit margins. The good news is that bank valuations are not excessively high, which could help limit the downside risk in the event of a market pullback.   To be clear, we are not anticipating a major decline in the banks we hold in our portfolio. However, investors should make sure the banks they own have very strong balance sheets. Strong capital positions and manageable debt can help reduce downside risk if the economic environment becomes more challenging. A strong quarter is certainly a positive sign for the banks, but investors should remember that great earnings today do not always guarantee great returns tomorrow. Valuation, balance-sheet strength, and the economic environment will all play an important role in determining future returns.   Are new homes actually a better deal than existing homes? There is an interesting trend developing in the housing market: the median price of a newly built home is now lower than the median price of an existing home. Historically there has been about a 20% premium for new homes.   At first, that sounds surprising. New homes are typically more expensive, so how can they now be cheaper? One major reason is that the type of new homes being built and sold has changed. Builders are increasingly focusing on smaller homes, townhomes, and more affordable developments. Townhouses now account for about one in five new single-family homes, which is the highest share since the National Association of Home Builders began tracking the data in 1985. In many cases developers are focusing on attainable homes for the middle-class which means the homes are roughly 1,200 to 2,000 square feet on smaller lots. As a result, the median price of a new home can look lower than the median price of an existing home, even though that doesn't necessarily always mean buyers are getting more house for their money.   In other words, the comparison isn't always apples to apples. A new townhome or smaller home may have a lower price than an older, larger single-family home. That can make new construction appear to be a better deal, but buyers need to carefully consider what they are actually comparing.   There are some real advantages to buying new. Builders are offering incentives such as mortgage-rate buydowns and assistance with closing costs. These lower rates make the monthly payment lower and more achievable than a comparable existing home. New homes typically require less maintenance, come with modern finishes and new appliances, are more energy efficient, and often come with warranties.   But there are risks and a big one many people may not consider is lower resale value. Many of these new home developments only provide a handful of floorplans and they are built on a smaller parcel of land, which leads to less distinctive homes. If you go to sell your home within a few years, you may also be competing against the homebuilder if new homes are still being built in the community.   The bottom line: new homes may offer some of the best deals in the housing market right now, but buyers need to look beyond the headline numbers. Compare the size, location, price per square foot, HOA fees, upgrades, and the total monthly cost. A new home may be a better deal than an existing home, but make sure you understand exactly what you are getting for your money.   Stock Trading Is Off the Charts! There is a frenzy happening in the stock market right now. With individuals buying and selling stocks, along with institutional investors constantly trading, Wall Street is generating enormous trading fees. But one has to ask the question: Does all of this activity make sense?   U.S. average daily trading volume in equities and options hit a record in the second quarter, with 73 million options contracts and 20 billion shares traded. Think about that number for a minute: 20 billion shares of stock changing hands over just three months. Let that sink in.   We have not seen this much activity in individual stocks since the end of the dot-com bubble, and we all know how that turned out.   The good news is that, with this frenzy of stock trading, more people are beginning to seek professional help managing their portfolios. The bad news is that many brokers are really just salespeople who may not have a strong investment philosophy or truly understand what they are doing. They will simply ride the wave until the crash comes, just as happened at the end of the tech bust.   Back then, even a year after the market had collapsed, some brokers were still telling their clients to stay invested because the market would eventually come back. I remember an old saying I learned when I first entered the industry: “The broker knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”   It took the Nasdaq more than 15 years to get back to breakeven after the dot-com bubble burst when it fell close to 80% from top to bottom. That is why it is so important, when seeking financial advice, to understand the investment philosophy of the broker or investment adviser you are working with. Does their philosophy make sense to you? Does it align with your goals? And, most importantly, does it make sense for your portfolio?   When markets are rising and everyone is making money, almost any strategy can look brilliant. The real test is what happens when the frenzy ends.   If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! A recent story in Barron's highlights a warning that applies to everyone, not just professional athletes.   Several current and former professional athletes reportedly invested in an online business opportunity that sounded too good to be true. Three former NFL players were interviewed by Barron's and collectively they said they lost more than $1 million. The pitch was simple: invest at least $50,000 in an online store and they'll handle everything from social-media marketing to manufacturing store inventory. Investors were told they would get their original investment back within six months, and then receive 80% of the profits.   Sounds like a great deal, right? Unfortunately, according to the investigation, it appears the sales weren't real. The stores were built using Shopify and appeared to be generating significant revenue. But investigators reportedly found questionable orders, including one $5,000 order for 100 desktop humidifiers and 120 USB-powered cup warmers. The person at the shipping address said they never placed the order and “Who needs 100 humidifiers and 120 cup warmers?” There were also other red flags including one e-commerce site, Dailyprodtrend, doesn't appear in Google search results and the web address is just a random string of numbers and letters.   The scheme is run by a 24-year-old entrepreneur named Mohamed Coulibaly and to gain credibility he used celebrity connections citing the names of about two dozen current and former pro athletes and other public figures as clients in a pitch deck. He also has created an image of wealth and success with one athlete saying he saw what appeared to be $25 million in a business account that Coulibaly showed him on a cellphone screen. It's important to remember that no matter how successful someone appears or how many famous people they know you still need to do your own due diligence.   A big problem is the websites were just the beginning of what appears to be a longer con. Once investors had their Shopify login credentials, they were given the impression the business was healthy due to these “fake” orders and then were presented with an even bigger bet that involved the Dubai investment firm Middle East Venture Partners. Unfortunately, this appears to have led to more red flags and still no return on investment.   Before investing, you should independently verify the revenue, customers, expenses, bank statements, contracts, and the actual business itself. Don't simply rely on an online dashboard or someone else's claims about how much money is being made.   The bottom line: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And the more exciting and guaranteed the opportunity sounds, the more skeptical you should become.   Financial Planning: Conservation Easements: Valuable Planning Tool or Tax Trap? Conservation easements are a tax planning strategy that allows a landowner to permanently donate certain development rights to a qualified conservation organization in exchange for a charitable income tax deduction equal to the reduction in the property's value. When used as Congress intended, they can provide meaningful tax benefits while preserving land for future generations. For example, a family that owns a 1,000-acre ranch valued at $10 million may have no intention of developing the property and want to ensure it remains open space permanently. By donating a conservation easement that limits future development, the property value may decline to $6 million, creating a $4 million charitable deduction while allowing the family to continue owning and using the land. This type of transaction aligns with the purpose of the law because the conservation benefit is the primary goal and the tax deduction is an incentive. However, taxpayers should be cautious of strategies that appear too good to be true. In recent years, the IRS has aggressively challenged syndicated conservation easement transactions that were marketed primarily as tax shelters. In these arrangements, investors often contributed a relatively small amount of capital to a partnership that acquired land, and promoters claimed the donation of a conservation easement created deductions several times larger than the investors' original contribution. For example, an investor might contribute $250,000 and be promised a $1 million charitable deduction based on an aggressive property valuation. Many of these transactions relied on inflated appraisals and lacked a genuine conservation purpose, resulting in significant IRS scrutiny, disallowed deductions, penalties, and litigation. While conservation easements can be used in specific situations, they should be approached with caution and used only when there is a legitimate conservation objective. As with many tax strategies, a benefit that appears disproportionately large compared to the underlying economic activity is often a warning sign that additional due diligence is needed. Are Porsche Cars Losing Their Excitement? Porsche cars have long been known for their high-end, exciting sports cars. But lately, the company has been losing sales compared with last year.   Porsche faces plenty of competition, but its global deliveries were down 16% during the first six months of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025. Last year, the company benefited from strong demand for the electric Macan, while it also ended production of the gasoline-powered 718.   The company was also hurt by the loss of U.S. tax incentives for electric vehicles, which contributed to the decline in sales. Porsche sold 37,712 vehicles in North America, a 13% decline from last year. China, which accounts for roughly 10% of Porsche's sales, saw an even larger drop, with sales falling 32% to 14,501 vehicles.   The price of a Porsche starts at around $65,000, but the average transaction price is closer to $125,000. And if you know anything about these cars, you also know that the maintenance and upkeep can put significant pressure on your wallet. You would think that if you're spending $125,000 on a car, you shouldn't have to spend a fortune maintaining it. But that can be part of the trade-off when owning a high-performance luxury vehicle.   So, are Porsche cars losing some of their excitement? Would you be willing to spend $125,000 on a new Porsche, or would you rather purchase a less expensive American car?   Time to Say Goodbye to EV Car Maker Polestar? I would occasionally see Polestar vehicles on the road, and I believe the company even has a dealership at UTC Mall. However, I didn't know much about the company and was surprised to learn just how complicated its ownership structure is.   Polestar is closely tied to Volvo, which is 79% owned by the Chinese company Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The automotive world has become incredibly complicated over the years. I always thought of Volvo as a Swedish company, but that is no longer technically the case.   The ownership change began in March 1999, when Ford Motor Company paid $6.5 billion to acquire Volvo. However, Ford later sold 79% of Volvo to Geely in August 2010 for approximately $1.8 billion. The remaining 21% is publicly owned through stock ownership. In other words, Ford appears to have taken a significant loss on its investment.   Now, Polestar is facing serious challenges in the United States. The U.S. government is concerned about the company's connection to China and the possibility that data collected by the vehicles could be accessed by the Chinese government. As a result, new Polestar vehicles are no longer expected to be sold in the U.S.   What is strange, however, is that Volvo vehicles are still being sold in the United States, even though Volvo is also majority-owned by Geely. The situation shows just how complicated the relationship between the U.S. auto market and Chinese ownership has become.   There are currently reports of fire-sale discounts on Polestar vehicles, with some discounts reportedly reaching as much as $25,000 just to move the cars. These vehicles originally sold for roughly $55,000 to $75,000 when new.   I'm not sure who would want to purchase one at this point. The biggest concern may not even be the vehicle itself, but what happens to service and support for existing owners. It is possible that Volvo will continue servicing Polestar vehicles, but I would be skeptical about whether maintaining a separate service infrastructure for the brand will be worth the company's time.   After all, relations between the United States and China are currently far from ideal. For Polestar owners, that could create some serious questions about the future of their vehicles.   The New Tobacco Companies The three remaining major players in the tobacco industry are Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco, and Altria Group. It should come as no surprise that the number of cigarettes sold in North America has dropped by about 33% since 2020, while the number of tobacco smokers continues to decline rapidly.   But don't be fooled: Tobacco companies have developed smoke-free products that are gaining popularity, but that does not mean they are healthy. The two primary alternatives tobacco companies are now selling are vaping products and something called an oral nicotine pouch.   It is easy to see when someone is vaping because of the large clouds of vapor produced. Nicotine pouches, however, are much less noticeable. They are placed between the front of your teeth and your lip, similar to chewing tobacco. The difference is that you don't need to spit out saliva every few minutes because the nicotine is slowly released into your system.   Currently, in North America, about 7% of the population vapes, up from 3.7% in 2020. Nicotine pouches are also growing rapidly, although you can't see who is using them. In 2024, approximately 23 billion nicotine pouches were sold worldwide, a 50% increase from 2023.   Make no mistake: Both of these products contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and keeps people coming back for more. Some may believe that nicotine pouches are simply a way to move away from cigarettes, but that isn't necessarily the case. The pouch itself can become addictive as well.   Tobacco stocks have performed well, with some nearly doubling over the last few years. More institutional investors who previously dumped these stocks for ethical reasons are now returning because of the growth of smoke-free products.   It all sounds like smoke and mirrors to me. There are simply too many issues surrounding nicotine and the addictive nature of these smokeless products for me to feel comfortable investing in the tobacco industry.   Companies Discussed: Fiserv, Inc.

"Deutschland ist digital noch im Neandertal", so lautet das Urteil von China-Kenner Jörg Wuttke, der über drei Jahrzehnte in Peking lebte und dort unter anderem die Deutsche und Europäische Handelskammer gründete. Für die Autoindustrie sieht er dunkle Zeiten bevorstehen, denn zwischen den USA und China sieht er einen Machtkampf anrollen, der Europa unvorbereitet aufreiben könnte.

El BCE ha decidido este jueves mantener sin cambios los tipos de interés en el 2,25%. El Consejo de Gobierno advierte de que la incertidumbre persiste y aún no se ha manifestado todo el impacto inflacionario de la crisis energética. Por lo tanto, estánsiguiendo de cerca la intensidad y la duración de la crisis, así como sus efectos indirectos y de segunda ronda. Al margen de la política monetaria, aluvión de resultados empresariales: UniCredit, STMicroelectronics y Nestlé, entre otros. Por otra parte, la UE multa a Google con 890 millones de euros por favorecer sus propios productos y por poner restricciones a la competencia. Y la alianza entre Ford y la china Geely fabricará cinco nuevos modelos y garantiza el futuro de la planta de Valencia. Entrevistaremos a Fernando de Agueda, CEO de Scalian Spain, para hablar de cómo los sistemas de IA pueden ayudar a prevenir escenarios de riestgo para la economia y las empresas.

Dato mata relato: El impecable veredicto de Euro NCAP sobre la seguridad del Geely Starray Frente a los prejuicios históricos sobre los fabricantes asiáticos, las pruebas de choque independientes de Euro NCAP confirman el liderazgo estructural de los coches chinos. En el sector de la automoción, la percepción subjetiva a menudo tarda en asimilar la realidad industrial. Durante años, los vehículos procedentes de mercados asiáticos, y en particular de China, arrastraron una sombra de desconfianza en lo que respecta a su resistencia estructural frente a un impacto. Sin embargo, en el ámbito de la física y la biomecánica, las opiniones carecen de valor sin el respaldo de ensayos medibles, replicables y rigurosamente controlados. «Desde el año 2019, las marcas chinas se mueven a otra velocidad en materia de seguridad», explica José Lagunar, especialista en seguridad vial de AutoFM y finalista de los prestigiosos premios Línea Directa 2026. La gran revolución del sector se consolidó en el año 2020, cuando Euro NCAP endureció drásticamente sus protocolos de evaluación. El cambio más crítico se centró en la prueba de impacto lateral, donde la energía cinética implicada se incrementó en un 55%, elevando la velocidad del carro de impacto de los 50 km/h a los 60 km/h. Ante este exigente escenario, el nuevo Geely Starray ha consolidado su posición en el mercado logrando las codiciadas cinco estrellas Euro NCAP. No obstante, para entender el nivel real de protección, es necesario bucear bajo la calificación general y desgranar sus puntuaciones por categorías. 1. Protección de adultos: Criterios biomecánicos excelentes El Geely Starray ha obtenido una sobresaliente calificación del 90% en la protección de ocupantes adultos. Este resultado se fundamenta en un diseño estructural que disipa y canaliza la energía del impacto lejos de la cabina de supervivencia: • Impacto frontal con 50% de solape: El vehículo ha registrado una puntuación de 13,3 puntos sobre 16 posibles. Un análisis pormenorizado revela que todos los sensores de los dummies, tanto en la posición del conductor como del copiloto, registraron niveles de desaceleración óptimos (representados visualmente por el color verde en los mapas de calor de Euro NCAP) desde el fémur hacia las zonas superiores del tronco y la cabeza. • Impacto lateral: Rozando la perfección absoluta, el Starray alcanza 15,9 puntos sobre 16 posibles, demostrando la rigidez de su pilar B y los umbrales de las puertas para mitigar la intrusión en el habitáculo. • Latigazo cervical (Rear Whiplash): En caso de colisión por alcance trasero, los asientos y reposacabezas activos del Starray obtienen 4 puntos sobre 4 posibles. Para valorar la magnitud de este hito: de los más de cien vehículos evaluados por el organismo europeo durante el pasado año 2025, menos de cinco consiguieron la puntuación máxima en esta disciplina. 2. Seguridad infantil a bordo: Ensayos con equipamiento real En la categoría de protección infantil, donde el Starray firma un sólido 87%, los resultados en crash test dinámicos son inmejorables: 16 puntos sobre 16 en impacto frontal y 8 puntos sobre 8 en impacto lateral. Un detalle sumamente valioso para los padres es que Euro NCAP realiza estos ensayos físicos empleando Sistemas de Retención Infantil (SRI) de la marca alemana Cybex, una firma con un altísimo volumen de penetración en los hogares europeos. Esto permite a los usuarios comprobar de forma fidedigna cómo se comportará el chasis del coche en combinación exacta con las sillitas infantiles reales que pueden adquirir en cualquier tienda especializada. 3. Usuarios vulnerables y la superación de la física tradicional Históricamente, la física aplicada dictaba que la mejor forma de proteger a un peatón o ciclista ante un atropello era el diseño de berlinas bajas con un vano motor muy prolongado. El auge comercial de los SUV (vehículos con un centro de gravedad más alto y frontales masivos) planteó un desafío biomecánico sin precedentes debido a su potencial lesividad. Sin embargo, el Geely Starray rompe este paradigma obteniendo 30,9 puntos sobre 36 posibles en la categoría de protección a usuarios vulnerables de la vía (un 86% de efectividad global). Euro NCAP evalúa la lesividad de la carrocería dividiendo el capó, la luna delantera y los pilares A en un mosaico de aproximadamente $100$ cuadriculados táctiles. En el mapa térmico resultante del Starray, el color rojo (peligro de lesiones graves) queda estrictamente confinado a la base rígida de los pilares A. El resto del capó delantero, los paragolpes y la primera sección del parabrisas presentan colores verde y amarillo (protección buena o adecuada), lo que evidencia el uso de aceros deformables y zonas de absorción de energía en el frontal del vehículo. Consejos de seguridad para el día a día Toda la ingeniería dedicada al desarrollo estructural de un vehículo y sus asistentes de conducción (77% de puntuación en ADAS) puede quedar anulada por pequeños descuidos humanos en el habitáculo. Desde Auto FM y Geely Auto Gamboa recordamos tres reglas de oro indispensables: 1. Tensado del cinturón: No basta con abrocharse el cinturón de seguridad; una vez enganchado, es necesario tirar firmemente de la banda diagonal hacia arriba para ajustar la banda pélvica sobre las crestas ilíacas y eliminar cualquier holgura peligrosa. 2. Ajuste del SRI: Los niños deben viajar en sistemas de retención adecuados a su talla y peso, asegurándose de que los arneses de la silla queden firmes y planos sobre su cuerpo. 3. El peligro de los abrigos en invierno: Cuando desciendan las temperaturas, evite que tanto los niños como los adultos viajen con abrigos gruesos o chaquetones puestos dentro del coche. El grosor de la ropa genera una falsa cámara de aire que impide que el cinturón o el arnés se adhieran correctamente al cuerpo, lo que puede provocar un deslizamiento del ocupante (efecto submarino) o un violento desplazamiento del tórax en caso de colisión.

Van baanbrekend ruimtevaartbedrijf naar ouderwetse telecomprovider. SpaceX doet het! Het bedrijf zou z'n Starlink-satellieten willen inzetten om ook de Amerikaanse consumentenmarkt te bedienen. Zo gaan ze de concurrentie aan met de netwerkproviders. Hoeveel kan dat SpaceX gaan opleveren? En hoe lang duurt het voordat Starlink dat ook in Europa gaat doen? Je hoort het in deze aflevering. Verder bereiden ze zich voor op boze vakbonden bij Volkswagen. De Duitse autobouwer wil opeens nog veel meer mensen ontslaan dan eerder gepland. Ze zouden nu zelfs denken aan 100.000 banen die moeten verdwijnen. Slaat de autobouwer door? Is dat überhaupt haalbaar? Of is dit gewoon een extreme eis om de onderhandelingen mee in te gaan? We hebben het ook nog over het nieuwste hoofdstuk in de tech-gekte van deze week. Een pijnlijk einde van de beursweek waarin de hoop toch weer even weg bleek. En dat allemaal na een enorm investeringsplan van Samsung. En je hoort over OpenAI, dat ook die volatiliteit heeft gezien en opeens overweegt toch pas later naar de beurs te gaan. Te gast: Jean-Paul van Oudheusden van eToro en Markets are Everywhere BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the WTR Small Cap Spotlight podcast, Dr. Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Lotus Technology (Nasdaq: LOT), joins Tim Gerdeman (Vice Chair, Co-Founder & CMO, Water Tower Research) and WTR Analyst Eric Goldstein.Founded in 1948 and reborn under Geely, Lotus Technology has evolved from a legendary British sports car maker into a global intelligent and luxury mobility company. In FY2025, Lotus deliberately stepped back from low-margin, discounted volume — gross margins more than doubled, the net loss narrowed 58%, and adjusted EBITDA loss improved 63%. Management is now targeting double-digit gross margins in 2026 and luxury-peer profitability by 2028.Dr. Wang walks through the margin expansion strategy, the global ramp of the 900V super-hybrid lineup (FOR ME in China, Eletre X in Europe), the Focus 2030 strategy under the new Geely-aligned board, the path to North America via Canada, and the key milestones investors should be watching.Subscribe and visit watertowerresearch.com for open-access small cap research, podcasts, and conference schedules.

In 2020, China exported about a million cars a year. Now, it's tracking somewhere around twelve million — surpassing the historic peaks of giants like Japan and Germany.  Yet this massive global shift feels nearly invisible in the U.S. A 100% tariff on Chinese vehicles, combined with strict rules keeping Chinese hardware and software off American roads, has effectively built a regulatory wall around the domestic market. But in virtually every other corner of the globe, Chinese automakers are dramatically reshaping markets — from Europe and Southeast Asia to Latin America and Canada. In this episode, Shayle sits down with Michael Dunne, the CEO of Dunne Insights and author of the upcoming book Car Wars. Shayle and Michael map out the chaotic dynamics of the global auto market and consider what's actually happening inside China's automotive powerhouse. And they explore the biggest question of all: can America permanently shield legacy automakers, or is it just delaying an inevitable wave? Shayle and Michael discuss topics including: - How China successfully applied its massive manufacturing capacity to the automobile industry. - The market forces governing China's massive car exports - Unpacking the two tiers of Chinese automakers: Legacy scale giants like BYD, Geely, and SAIC versus the "Teslas of China” like Xiaomi, Xpeng, Leapmotor, and Nio. - Why China's expansion is already forcing major European and Japanese automakers to plan for closures and layoffs. - How regulatory frameworks in China are accelerating the commercialization of autonomous driving far quicker than in the U.S. - Concerns over cybersecurity in Chinese automobiles - Driving with Dunne podcast - Catalyst: Repurposing EV batteries for grid storage - Catalyst: Demystifying the Chinese EV market - Catalyst: Has Humble Robotics cracked the code on autonomous trucking? - Open Circuit: The AI race is really an electro-industrial race, led by China - Latitude Media: Rivian and EnergyHub are teaming up on managed charging Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-3-2026.1907 TOJO(1) Scott Harold discusses the unprecedented question from Japan's Defense Minister at the Shangri-La Dialogueregarding America's Indo-Pacific commitment. He notes the omission of Taiwan in Secretary Hegseth's speech compared to last year. Japan remains a hawkish front-line ally, despite regional concerns over shifting US national defense priorities.(2) Rebecca Grant describes the proposed Trump class battleship, a nuclear-powered "missile truck" designed for standoff strikes. Unlike traditional battleships, it emphasizes hypersonic attack and laser weaponry. The ship would be highly survivable, defended by Space Force overwatch and advanced electromagnetic warfare techniques.(3) Steve Yates examines the KMT leader's visit to Washington following meetings with Xi Jinping. He expresses concern over the KMT cutting Taiwan's indigenous defense budget. Yates also analyzes Taiwan's "inverted triangle" demographics, where older voters remain more sympathetic to traditional KMT narratives than younger generations.(4) Steve Yates argues the "Thucydides trap" is a manufactured academic concept used by Beijing to suggest inevitable US decline. He emphasizes that the US is not a classical empire and remains globally influential. China uses this rhetoric for political warfare while remaining sensitive to American strength.(5) Michael Bernstam analyzes the humiliating Ukrainian strike on a St. Petersburg oil terminal during Putin's flagship economic forum. Russia's energy sector faces a crisis, forcing a ban on refined exports like gasoline due to refinery damage. Consequently, Russia must increase crude exports to China and India.(6) Michael Bernstam notes the OECD's warning of global recession if the Gulf energy crisis persists. While the US is depleting strategic reserves to maintain supply, it is also increasing domestic production. High prices are triggering "demand destruction," where consumers shift to public transport to mitigate energy costs.(7) Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's CEO expects to resume launches this year despite a recent launchpad explosion. Meanwhile, SpaceX secured $6 billion in Space Force contracts for tracking and communication satellites. China continues rapid development with its Long March 12B, a Falcon 9-style reusable rocket copycat.(8) Bob Zimmerman highlights Curiosity rover data confirming Gale Crater's shifting climate, which once supported warm water. The James Webb Space Telescope detected high methane levels on the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas, suggesting a unique chemical composition. Webb also captured a spectacular infrared image of the galaxy M77.(9) Jonathan Schanzer describes the "ceasefire war" in the Middle East, where Iran continues attacks despite diplomatic efforts. He argues Iran aims to detach Gulf allies like Kuwait from the West. Schanzer advocates for maximum economic pressure on Tehran and increased IDF activity against Iranian proxies.(10) Jonathan Schanzer reports that Israeli forces have reduced Hamas control in Gaza to roughly 40%, aiming for 30%. Hamas is currently trapped in an Israeli "yellow zone" kill zone, making rearmament or offensive operations nearly impossible. Schanzer believes systematic military pressure is creating a viable theory of victory.(11) Titus Techera critiques the evolution of Animal Farm films, noting the newest version depicts Silicon Valley and AI as villains. He argues this shift denatures Orwell's original anti-totalitarian message for modern ideological purposes. The 1954 version remains the most effective educational tool regarding the dangers of tyranny.(12) Gordon Chang asserts that China is a declining power facing economic stagnation and a massive demographic collapse. He notes that the US economy remains superior, particularly in energy and AI. China's youth unemployment is estimated at 35-40%, forcing university graduates into menial roles like shepherding.(13) Jack Burnham discusses how Nvidia chips reach the Chinese military through loopholes in export controls and subsidiaries. He notes bureaucratic confusion over the "AI diffusion rule" allowed Chinese firms to stockpile high-end hardware. Burnham recommends stricter Commerce Department guidance to prevent further military modernization.(14) Jack Burnham explains that Volvo, though manufacturing in the US, is owned by Geely and must comply with Chinese data-sharing laws. He also warns of China's dominance in the biotechnology supply chain. Through state subsidies and "dumping," China threatens the security of US pharmaceutical and generic drug stockpiles.(15) Ryan Streeter honors economist Ed Phelps, who defined dynamism as a culture of grassroots tinkering and indigenous innovation. He explains that growth is driven by experimental mindsets rather than just scientific labs. Streeter notes that dynamic cultures, like Austin or California, naturally attract global risk-takers.(16) Ryan Streeter discusses human flourishing, defining it as the fulfillment of potential through purpose and upward mobility. He argues that dynamic societies improve job satisfaction for hourly workers by providing more options. Conversely, stagnation in Europe results from heavy regulation and a declining cultural valuation of entrepreneurs.One naming consistency flag: segment (15) uses "Ed Phelps" while your earlier preview blurb and outreach email today used "Edmund Phelps." Both are correct—Ed is the informal—but if you want consistency across the day's broadcast, I can swap to Edmund Phelps.

(14) Jack Burnham explains that Volvo, though manufacturing in the US, is owned by Geely and must comply with Chinese data-sharing laws. He also warns of China's dominance in the biotechnology supply chain. Through state subsidies and "dumping," China threatens the security of US pharmaceutical and generic drug stockpiles.

China's carmakers like BYD, Geely and Great Wall Motor have seen immense growth in recent years. But their cars are not for sale in the U.S. due to high tariffs and tight regulations.

The global auto industry is splitting into two very different worlds — what legendary auto expert Michael Dunne calls “a tale of two countries.” Dunne, CEO of Dunne Insights LLC, has spent decades at the centre of the industry, including leadership roles as President of General Motors Indonesia and Managing Director of JD Power China.  On one side stands the United States, increasingly resembling a modern-day Cuba: a market dominated by oversized, fuel-hungry SUVs aimed at a shrinking audience, while legacy automakers squeeze the last profits from internal combustion engines. Last year alone, Detroit's Big Three wrote off more than $50 billion in EV investments.  On the other side is China, moving at extraordinary speed and scale. The recent Beijing Auto Show showcased the country's relentless innovation: 38 hectares of exhibition space — roughly 50 football fields — featuring 1,451 vehicles, including 181 world debuts, and attracting 1.3 million visitors, with only 65,000 coming from overseas. It is no longer just about BYD. Chinese giants such as Geely, SAIC, and FAW have caught up rapidly, transforming China into a market where internal combustion vehicles already feel like an afterthought.  Only two foreign automakers still command real respect in China: Toyota and Tesla. Others — including Honda, Nissan, and most European manufacturers — are steadily losing ground.Meanwhile, much of the rest of the world is accelerating toward electrification as rising oil prices reshape consumer behaviour. Countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, Ethiopia, and Mexico are embracing EVs, while electric vehicle sales continue to surge across Europe.  Battery technology is still advancing, but the next decisive battleground is autonomy. Here, the United States maintains a lead through companies like Waymo and Tesla — though Chinese competitors are closing the gap quickly.   2026 may also mark the tipping point for electric trucks becoming mainstream, with adoption expected to accelerate rapidly once scale economics take hold.  So how can non-Chinese automakers compete? Not through protectionism, but by learning from China's playbook: moving faster, investing more aggressively in next-generation technologies, and, in some cases, partnering directly with Chinese firms.  Yet another major challenge looms over the industry: excess manufacturing capacity. Factories in both Europe and China are currently operating at only around 50% utilisation, with the United States performing only slightly better.  Dunne's upcoming book, Car Wars, due out next year, explores this seismic shift in detail. It tells the story of how China built the world's most powerful EV ecosystem — and whether Western automakers can survive the collision.        

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1355: Today we're talking about dealers feeling cautiously optimistic despite economic pressure, Volvo dodging a major U.S. regulatory headache tied to its China ownership, and OpenAI quietly building what could become a serious challenger to Google's ad business through conversational AI.Show Notes with links:Dealer optimism is creeping back up according to Cox Automotive's Q2 Dealer Sentiment Index, especially around used cars. But underneath the positivity? Plenty of concern around the economy, politics, and affordability.Dealers rated current market conditions at a “slightly favorable” 53, with optimism for the next three months jumping to 57.Customer traffic showed a meaningful rebound, climbing from a weak 34 in Q1 to 43 in Q2. Still not back to 2025 levels, but enough movement to suggest shoppers are slowly re-entering the market.Dealers gave the used car market a 62 rating — the strongest since 2022 — with several stores reporting record grosses and fast-moving pre-owned inventory.The biggest drag on business? The economy. 54% of dealers said economic conditions are holding them back, while 43% pointed to the political climate.One Toyota dealer summed it up perfectly: “Still a high demand, but economic uncertainty is making people wary.”Volvo shares jumped after the automaker secured approval to continue importing and selling vehicles in the U.S., easing fears that its Chinese ownership ties could create a major roadblock for future business stateside.Volvo stock climbed nearly 7% after the company announced it received “specific authorization” from U.S. regulators tied to China-connected vehicle restrictions, set to begin in model year 2027.The concern stemmed from Volvo's majority owner, Geely, which controls nearly 79% of the company and had investors worried about future bans under new national security rules.Instead of restrictions, Volvo says talks with U.S. officials around governance, technology, and data security led to an approval with no added conditions — something analysts say was better than expected.Volvo continues investing heavily in the U.S., including plans to build two additional models at its South Carolina plant by 2030.OpenAI's early advertising experiments are revealing something marketers are paying close attention to: ChatGPT can create buying intent during a conversation, not just respond to it. That could fundamentally change how digital ads work.Unlike Google Search ads built around keywords, ChatGPT ads are triggered by “conversational intent” — meaning the AI can infer what users may want even if they never search for it directly.Similarweb found that 46% of users who eventually saw an ad started the conversation with zero commercial intent. The chat itself gradually created the opportunity.Ads appear much later in conversations — sometimes 30 to 50 exchanges deep — making them feel more like recommendations than interruptions.OpenAI currently shows just one ad at a time inside chats, creating premium inventory that analysts estimate could command CPMs around $60 and CPCs near $12.Similarweb's Heral Amir: “OpenAI has a chance to take advertising to a very good place from user experience, but they can also mess it up completely.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
