En el Consultorio de Bolsa de Capital Intereconomía, Javier Alfayate, gestor de Fondos ofrece su visión del momento que viven los mercados. Explica que el mercado corrige ligeramente después de una racha excepcional durante el año, y que el Ibex 35 se mantiene gracias al impulso del sector bancario. Subraya que su estrategia pasa por “surfear el movimiento estando en lo que funciona”. Alfayate comenta también la fuerte caída de IAG, que pierde más de un 7%, aunque mantiene una lectura positiva del valor. Señala que la tendencia alcista sigue vigente y que no se rompe hasta perforar un soporte o una media. Añade que la acción se encuentra ligeramente por encima de su media, lo que interpreta como una oportunidad de compra, recordando que “los valores se compran cuando se da el apoyo en la media o cuando se supera al alza una resistencia”. En cuanto a ASML Holdings y Tesla, Alfayate considera que ambas presentan buenos gráficos. “ASML tiene un aspecto muy interesante, yo mantendría”, apunta. Sobre Tesla, destaca que se encuentra cerca de máximos y también opta por mantener posiciones, aunque bromea diciendo que “quizá General Motors o Ford sean más interesantes; no tienen CEO más molones, pero el gráfico es más molón”.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, we dive into a powerful conversation with Nate, CEO of Form 100 Consulting, an agile technology firm that hires military veterans. Together, we explore what it really means to focus on core competencies in a world obsessed with chasing trends—especially when it comes to artificial intelligence. Focusing on What Matters Nate emphasizes the danger of business “fluff”—initiatives that look exciting but distract from the organization's core mission. We discuss how easily companies get pulled off track by AI hype and lose sight of what actually drives value. Both of us agree that clarity of mission and disciplined execution are what truly sustain success. AI Implementation: Systems Before Software We unpack why so many organizations fail at AI implementation. The core issue? Automating broken systems. Before adding automation, leaders must first understand workflows, engage the people doing the work, and align process improvements with clear outcomes. The discussion also explores lean methodology and how technology should enhance human capability—not replace it. Automation and Efficiency Our conversation turns to how automation affects staffing and productivity. I share insights from past downturns where organizations reduced teams but maintained output through smarter workflows. We agree that while automation can remove jobs, it can also elevate roles and help businesses grow—if it's done with purpose. We also highlight the risk of knowledge loss as experienced workers retire, reminding leaders that efficiency must never come at the cost of wisdom. Adaptability and Incremental Progress We examine why even major corporations, including Fortune 500 giants, struggle to survive. Nate and I discuss the importance of adaptability, addressing constraints, and embracing incremental progress—especially when integrating AI. True transformation happens step by step, not through one big innovation. Data-Driven Growth Without the Paralysis I share an example of a client stuck in “analysis paralysis” due to too much data. The takeaway: data should serve decision-making, not dominate it. We explore how to build centralized systems that streamline insights and connect back to strategy. I also reference General Motors' missteps in the 1980s as a lesson on the risks of ignoring core strengths in the pursuit of diversification. Balancing Planning and Action We discuss the challenge of overplanning versus underplanning. Nate explains that effective leadership requires making informed decisions without having every answer. This means building psychological safety within teams, encouraging learning through mistakes, and avoiding “level one thinking”—where leaders react rather than anticipate. Consulting Insights and Shared Experiences Nate shares insights about his work at form100consulting.com, helping organizations improve execution and agility. I reflect on my own consulting journey with small businesses and nonprofits, from psychotherapy practices to after-school LEGO robotics programs, and the lessons I carried from my time in the Air Force into business leadership. Human Connection in the Age of Automation We close with a conversation about marketing and human connection. Both of us agree that while digital platforms like LinkedIn have become saturated with automation, audiences are craving authenticity. The future of business belongs to those who bring back the personal touch—conversations, community, and genuine connection.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1187: GM trims its workforce and tech leadership as it reassesses priorities. Kia hits pause on its next U.S. EV launch amid regulatory roadblocks. And Walmart leans into nostalgia with a print catalog push designed to elevate its home game.Show Notes with links:General Motors made sweeping changes last week, laying off workers and restructuring leadership as it adjusted to shifting market signals. What began as a response to softening EV demand quickly expanded into a broader corporate shakeup.GM eliminated 1,750 jobs, including 1,200 from Factory Zero in Detroit and hundreds more at paused battery plants in Ohio and Tennessee.The company cited weaker EV sales and regulatory uncertainty as reasons for scaling back production.Senior VP of Software David Richardson abruptly exited following an internal reorg just days after presenting at GM's tech event.His responsibilities were shifted under product leadership led by Tesla/Aurora alum Sterling Anderson.CEO Mary Barra assumed oversight of cybersecurity and IT, signaling a more hands-on approach to GM's tech transformation.Kia has officially delayed the U.S. release of its compact EV4 sedan, which was initially slated to arrive in early 2026.The EV4, revealed at the New York Auto Show, was expected to start under $40K with up to 330 miles of range.Kia confirmed the delay, citing “changing market conditions for EVs” as primary cause.The expiration of the $7,500 EV tax credit and new import tariffs have reshaped the economics of launching foreign-built EVs in the U.S.The EV4 was to be manufactured in South Korea and imported to the U.S.; that plan is now on hold indefinitely.Kia's EV lineup already includes the EV6, EV9, and Niro EVIn an unexpected move, Walmart has revived the old-school print catalog to boost its home goods visibility. The retailer's latest campaign mixes nostalgia with strategy, aiming to reintroduce shoppers to a broader, more style-forward product lineup.Walmart released a full-scale home catalog in August, targeting new, existing, and lapsed customers ahead of the holidays.The catalog showcases furniture, decor, and appliances with QR codes linking to Walmart's online store.SVP Creighton Kiper described the catalog as a static creative tool to reposition Walmart as a destination for affordable, high-style home goods.Despite rapid execution, early impressions and engagement exceeded expectations — though no follow-up editions have been confirmed.“Most retailers recognize… you have to have a marketing mix across online and offline channels to really reach the consumer,” said Polly Wong, President of Belardi Wong.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:03 Upcoming Edge Webinar Tomorrow!1:39 GM Shakes Up ExeJoin 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/
This week on the Truth Works podcast, Jessica Neal sits down with Bob Sutton, Michael Arena, and Beth Steinberg to unpack one of the most debated topics in organizational design — flat vs hierarchical structures.Drawing on lessons from companies like GM, Nvidia, and Netflix, they explore how culture, leadership, and network dynamics drive innovation and accountability. From Michael Arena's experience at General Motors to Beth Steinberg's work in shaping talent at high-growth startups, and Bob Sutton's decades of Stanford research on power and scaling — this conversation reveals what truly makes organizations thrive (or collapse) as they grow.If you've ever wondered how companies like Nvidia maintain speed and creativity without chaos, this episode is a masterclass in the art and science of organizational design.
At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here Every strong supply chain starts with strong talent, and at Wayne State University, that's exactly what's being built. This episode takes listeners inside the General Motors and Wayne State Supply Chain Case Competition, where students from across the country step into real-world challenges and learn what it takes to lead the industry's future.The conversation opens with Lori Sisk from Wayne State University, who introduces the FAST Program (Future Advantage Supply Chain Training), a groundbreaking initiative designed to expose Detroit high school students to the world of supply chain management long before college.Lori explains how the program combines classroom learning with hands-on experience, allowing students to graduate with a certificate in supply chain and a clearer path toward college or immediate industry work. She's joined by two standout students from the program, Malik and Jeffrey, whose stories bring the program's impact to life.Jeffrey recalls how little he knew about supply chain before joining, but after a summer internship with WF Whelan, he found himself fascinated by the behind-the-scenes logistics that keep goods moving.Malik adds that what surprised him most was how many steps it takes to make something as simple as a roll of tissue. He says that getting hands-on at each stage gave him a new appreciation for the complexity and teamwork involved in manufacturing. Both now see supply chain not just as a career option, but as a field full of opportunity and purpose.Then comes Chris, a graduate of the Automotive Supply Chain Immersion Program (ASCIP), a 20-week course co-led by AIAG and Wayne State. For him, the program went far beyond the classroom. It provided him with direct access to industry leaders, real-world learning experiences, and a network of mentors who helped him view the supply chain from an entirely new perspective.The focus shifts to the General Motors and Wayne State Supply Chain Case Competition itself, with GM's Bill Hurles and Dave Leich. They recount how the program began in 2011, shortly after GM's bankruptcy, as a way to strengthen the industry's talent pipeline. What started as a small idea has now evolved into a global event, drawing universities from across North America, Mexico, and beyond. Student competitors Danielle Griffin and Daniel Kuzniar then share their perspective on tackling this year's case, focused on EV adapter sourcing for GM's Factory Zero. They explain how teamwork, diverse expertise, and late-night preparation sessions helped them stay composed under pressure.Finally, Lori Sisk and GM's Christina Meredith take listeners behind the scenes of organizing the event. From coordinating sponsors to creating an unforgettable Detroit experience, their shared goal is clear: showcase the city, connect students to industry, and grow the future of manufacturing talent.Themes discussed in this episode:The FAST Program's role in introducing Detroit high school students to real-world supply chain experienceThe role of Wayne State University in developing the next generation of supply chain professionalsHow partnerships between universities and industry leaders like GM strengthen the talent pipelineThe value of the AIAG–Wayne State Automotive Supply Chain Immersion Program in advancing professional growthHow case competitions prepare students to solve real industry challenges with creativity and collaborationHow industry-university partnerships help Detroit remain a global hub for supply chain education and manufacturing growthThe case competition's lasting impact on students, sponsors, and...

America's business culture in the mid-century was decidedly drab: men in dark suits with close-cropped hair ruled the day, and in many ways were perfectly primed for disruption. So it was that the youngest division head ever to grace the C-suite at General Motors built a maverick reputation and, upon leaving (or being pushed! Accounts differ) set about to start a car company from scratch. John DeLorean's dream sports car did briefly become a reality, but the ephemera and shady dealings that put a few thousand of them on the road would lead to an epic downfall, and cost him his family as well.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 30, 2025. 0:30 For years, the Department of Justice has turned a blind eye to corruption—but that may finally be changing. The DOJ is investigating Black Lives Matter leaders for allegedly defrauding donors of millions, a long-overdue step toward restoring real accountability. From BLM mansions to political double standards, public trust has eroded under unequal justice—and holding every power player to the same standard, left or right, is essential to saving faith in the system. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump has reached a trade deal with China that is expected to avert an all out trade war between the worlds' two largest economies. The Sunshine Protection Act — the bill that would give states he opportunity to ban the changing of the clocks from standard time to daylight savings time twice a year — has stalled out in Congress again. General Motors is laying off more than 3,000 workers this week.Some of the layoffs are temporary, but more than half are permanent. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 A new Quinnipiac poll out of New York City shows Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani leading the mayoral race with 43%—well ahead of Andrew Cuomo at 33% and Republican Curtis Sliwa at 14%. But are the polls missing something? We dig into what those numbers really mean, questioning whether the data captures the growing frustration among everyday New Yorkers tired of crime, taxes, and government overreach. 16:00 The American Mamas tackle a question that’s stirring controversy: should the NAACP be supporting Winsome Sears—a Black female immigrant, Marine veteran, and current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia—over white Democrat Abigail Spanberger? The Mamas break down the debate fallout, the viral reactions across social media, and the growing frustration among Black Americans who feel politically manipulated. From Barack Obama’s campaign choices to the NAACP’s partisan priorities, the conversation exposes what many see as deep hypocrisy within identity politics. As more voters—especially young Black men—begin speaking out and shifting right, the Mamas ask: is this the moment America finally wakes up to the political double standard? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 When Kamala Harris appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, her profanity-laced rant about Trump’s “ballroom for the rich” and looming SNAP benefit cuts turned heads for all the wrong reasons. We unpack the Vice President’s meltdown—fact-checking her claims about government shutdown funding and calling out the growing trend of political figures dropping F-bombs on national TV. 26:00 With ten months of President Trump’s second term in the books, we're looking back at the most productive stretches in modern presidential history. From record-breaking deportations and declining food stamp enrollment to rising GDP, falling inflation, and renewed energy dominance, the mainstream press is ignoring a wave of domestic and economic achievements. On everything from tariffs and tax cuts to military recruitment and peace deals abroad—this administration has delivered results where others only made promises. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 For the first time in seven years, President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet face-to-face—and strike a deal that could reshape global trade. We break down the stunning tariff reductions, China’s promise to open its markets to American goods, and what it could mean for U.S. manufacturing. But is Beijing serious this time, or just smiling through another double-cross? 36:30 Turning Point USA lights up the University of Mississippi with a massive rally that packs the stadium and spills into the streets — and it wasn’t just the crowd that made headlines. Vice President J.D. Vance took center stage, fielding tough, unfiltered questions from students and delivering one of the most thoughtful defenses of faith and freedom we’ve ever heard from a sitting VP. From his take on Christianity’s role in America’s founding to his sharp insight into the future of conservative youth, this was a defining moment for a new generation of leaders. A genuine bright spot — and one worth replaying. 40:30 Glamour UK released its “Women of the Year” issue featuring biological men on the cover. When did celebrating women become about celebrating men? We've just got to say, "Whoa!"

A version of this essay was published by the Deccan Herald at https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/adani-s-under-fire-we-ve-seen-this-before-3783432The repeated, withering attacks on the Adani group are getting to be tiresome, partly because they usually have no merit per se; and partly because the Western habit of weaponizing the narrative is now so evident. It is basically propaganda, with the pliant media manufacturing consent to support foreign policy.In a recent column in the Financial Times, Janan Ganesh wrote: “Politics, not tech, makes the world go around”. He may have a point, but at the moment, it is the opposite: the breakneck generativeAI race, and China's near-monopoly in rare earths, are fueling both trade wars and capitulation: for example, Trump said before meeting Xi that “the G2 will be convening shortly”. TACO, anyone?I said during Biden's days in “A US-China condominium dividing up the world between themselves”, that for the Deep State, a G2 would be a convenient (short-term) thing to do. Trump apparently has accepted that a) Chinese leverage is insurmountable, b) a division into spheres of influence would work best. Sadly, it would be disastrous for the US (and the Quad) in the medium term to make China Asia's hegemon.But it is happening. As BNP Paribas puts it in a research note quoted by the Financial Times, “[Washington]... is now dealing with a peer rival capable of imposing material economic harm on it — a relatively new position for the US and a development which, at least to us, confirms China's ascendancy to global economic superpower status.”It would be entirely rational for a G2 to prevent a third great power from rising, and India is the only candidate: Brazil, Russia, South Africa, the EU are handicapped in one way or the other, e.g. geography, resources, demographics, politics. Therefore the G2 are imposing a Thucydides Trap on India: wage economic (if not kinetic) war, and balkanize it.Everybody has learned lessons from the recent past (“Confessions of an economic hit-man”, anyone?): how Japan was ruined via the Plaza Accord, how Britain lost its pre-eminence by debasing its currency, and how the US allowed itself to be systematically de-industrialized by China over the last 30 years. They are not going to let India grow, certainly not easily.Thus Adani is a proxy for India. Mark Mobius, a legendary investor, said, “Investing in Adani is like investing in India”. That is not an exaggeration, because Adani has demonstrated the capability to deliver in more than one domain, especially in ports and airports (Disclaimer: I have a small position in Adani Ports). They have operations in Colombo, Haifa (Israel) and Abbot Point (Australia), which makes them a potentially major player in global shipping, not to mention their container ports at Mundhra and Vizhinjam (Trivandrum).There have been several waves of attacks on the Adani group, the first in June 2021 alleging improprieties in investments by Mauritius-based funds; the second in January 2023 with the ‘bombshell' Hindenburg (a short-seller) report alleging stock manipulation and accounting fraud; the third in November 2024, a US Dept of Justice allegation about bribery; the fourth in October 2025 by the Washington Post alleging the Indian government induced LIC to invest $3.9 billion in Adani firms.When the Hindenburg report was publicized as the “largest con in corporate history” by pliant media like Reuters, FT and WSJ, I wrote that “The Adani Group may not be derailed by Hindenburg”. I also did a video conversation with Professor Narayanan Komerath on the topic.In fact, in a “dog it was that died” outcome, it was Hindenburg that closed shop; Adani has recovered even after a second Hindenburg report accusing the SEBI chief as well.Adani has been successful in their ports and energy businesses; they are doing well in airports; their efforts in green energy and in data centers (the new Google AI data center in Vishakhapatnam) may yet prove to be winners. Thus Adani has shown it can compete well in difficult infrastructure sectors. It is true that these need to align with government policies.Which brings whispers of ‘crony capitalism', which is rich coming from the US, where ‘robber barons' like John D Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, J P Morgan and Cornelius Vanderbilt created enormous fortunes primarily through cronyism. Have you heard the dictum “What's good for General Motors is good for America”? Boeing, the Koch Brothers, Goldman Sachs and Big Tech are current beneficiaries of State munificence.India has had its share of crony capitalists who provided citizens with shoddy goods at high prices. I don't dare name them, but you know who they are. Every country supports its national champions: Japan's zaibatsu, Korea's chaebol, China's State Owned Companies.And recently J P Morgan Chase announced it is investing $1.5 trillion in US industries such as critical minerals, pharma, semiconductors, energy, drones, cybersecurity, AI and so on. Surely this is after consultations with and a go-ahead from the US Government. Similarly, it is neither sinful nor unusual for the Indian State to support dominant, effective players.

If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." As is so often the case, he was right. He likely didn't foresee the onset of electric vehicles and the climate scolds' touting of them to prevent the planet from catching on fire; those were subsidized before they ever moved in the first place. But those subsidies are gone now, and so a bunch of people who worked on vehicles and batteries are finding themselves out of work. General Motors is laying off thousands of UAW-represented workers at factories that make electric vehicles and EV batteries as it retrenches from EVs after the end of federal subsidies and the elimination of some emissions regulations. GM plans to lay off more than 3,300 hourly workers at plants across Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee starting in January. Of those, more than 1,700 are being laid off indefinitely, while more than 1,500 are expected to be called back in mid-2026. That's a nice way of saying "The federal gravy train isn't running anymore, so we will have to go back to making cars that people want to buy." That's how it should be, of course, but we should note that these subsidies were products of the previous administration, and if economic reality is here, as in, anywhere on the North American continent, then the Biden administration's economic policy was somewhere out past the Horsehead Nebula, and lost in space. Source: redstate.com Trump Ends Biden Policy of Automatically Extending Work Permits for Migrants President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending a policy that automatically extended work permits for millions of migrants in the United States. The policy change, announced by DHS officials on Wednesday, means that migrants seeking extensions of their work permits will now have to undergo “screening and vetting” before such an extension is granted. “USCIS is placing a renewed emphasis on robust alien screening and vetting, eliminating policies the former administration implemented that prioritized aliens' convenience ahead of Americans' safety and security,” Edlow said in a statement: It's a commonsense measure to ensure appropriate vetting and screening has been completed before an alien's employment authorization or documentation is extended...
Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — Hurricane Melissa has killed over two dozen people in the Caribbean. That's according to multiple reports.

The automaker cited a slowdown in the electric vehicle market as the reason for the layoffs. Detroit's electric vehicle plant saw around 12-hundred job cuts while 550 jobs at an Ohio battery cell plant were impacted. Wednesday's layoffs follow the company's announcement last week that 200 salaried positions would be eliminated at its global tech campus in Detroit. And number three --- A new poll shows Andrew Cuomo gaining some ground on Zohran Mamdani in the race for New York City Mayor with less than a week to go until the election. The latest Quinnipiac poll shows Zohran Mamdani leading by ten-percent in the race. He holds 43 percent of the vote, compared to 33 percent for Cuomo, and 14 percent for Republican Curtis Sliwa.

It's one of the most fascinating questions developing in the American EV market right now. For months, we've been bombarded with dire predictions about what would happen when the federal EV tax credit for new and used EVs expired on September 30th, 2025. Industry titans lined up to tell us the sky was falling. The CEO of Ford predicted the market would collapse from 10% to just 5%. General Motors executives warned of a "sharp decline." Analysts at major firms forecast a devastating crash that would set electric vehicle adoption back years. Well, I may be an idiot podcaster without the infinite access to world-class market analysis that CEO's have, but it's now a month on and the predicted apocalypse hasn't materialized. In fact, what we're seeing is a masterclass in how markets adapt, how manufacturers respond, and how resilient consumer demand for electric vehicles has actually become. Today's episode is going to challenge the doom-and-gloom narrative that's dominated headlines for the past few months We're going to look at the actual data from the first three weeks of October, examine the creative ways automakers are keeping EVs affordable without federal help, and draw lessons from other major markets like Germany and the UK that went through similar transitions and came out stronger on the other side. Before we dive in, let me be clear: I'm not saying the loss of the $7,500 tax credit is meaningless. It's a significant change. But what I am saying is that the predictions of total market collapse were overblown, or at the least premature. The evidence is mounting that the American EV market is far more mature and resilient than the naysayers believed. Just a reminder our bonus shows are exclusively for our Patreon supporters.

Hay hombres que construyen leyendas. Y otros que las entierran. Hoy no vamos a hablar de héroes, sino de villanos. No del “Salón de la fama”, sino del “Salón de la infamia”. De personajes que, desde un consejo de administración, un despacho de la FIA o un ministerio, tomaron decisiones que nos hicieron daño a los que amamos el automóvil.

Duracell branded car chargers are showing up now in the U.K., and are expected to arrive in the U.S. in the not-to-distant future. The hosts go on to discuss two big General Motors announcements. First, GM will be launching full level-3 semi-autonomous drive systems for the 2028 model year, beginning with the electric Cadillac Escalade IQ. An advancement of the maker's Super Cruise technology, the new system will permit drivers to look away from the road while engaged. Listen in for further details. GM also plans to drop Apple CarPlay from all its vehicles beginning in 2028. Jill is going to be angry. Still in the first segment, Paul talks about driving the high-performance McLaren GT on the race track.

¡Todo el mundo habla de las marcas chinas! Y pocos las conocen. Si te hablan de Audi, BMW, Mazda, Renault o Toyota, por citar solo algunas, más o menos, sabrías “de que van” y las conoces… ¿Y si te hablo de Aywais, BAIC, BYD, Jaecoo, Nio, Omoda o XPeng, por citar solo algunas? ¿Sabes algo de estás marcas? Es probable que no. Vamos a proporcionaros un mapa claro de este laberinto …para que no os perdáis. Este video lo hemos trabajado mucho todo el equipo… y es que para entender el fenómeno chino hay que olvidar ideas preconcebidas y hay que pensar en tres tipos de especies que conviven en un ecosistema feroz. Primero, los gigantes estatales como SAIC o Chery, mastodontes industriales que crecieron al amparo del gobierno y de sus alianzas con fabricantes occidentales. Segundo, los imperios privados como Geely o BYD, creados por empresarios visionarios, que son más ágiles y tienen una ambición global voraz. Y tercero y último, las startups tecnológicas como NIO o XPeng, nacidas en la era del software y con la vista puesta en destronar a Tesla. La estrategia del gobierno chino fue clara: dominar la tecnología de baterías mientras Europa debatía sobre plazos y normativas. El resultado es que han lanzado una ofensiva global con el coche eléctrico como punta de lanza. Su desembarco ya es una realidad: en España, su cuota de mercado en 2025 se acerca peligrosamente al 10 por ciento, casi el doble que en 2024 que fue del 4,2 por ciento... Ahora, conozcamos a algunos de los actores de esta historia con algunos ejemplos de sus productos con valoraciones. Y digo algunos… porque, a día de hoy, es casi imposible hacer un vídeo con todas las marcas chinas que existen. Creo que hemos hecho una buena selección con las más relevantes. CAPITULO 1: AIWAYS EL PIONERO CON DIFICULTADES. Aiways merece una mención por ser uno de los primeros en atreverse a desembarcar en Europa, allá por 2020. A pesar de tener un producto correcto, les ha faltado el músculo financiero y la capacidad de marketing para hacerse un hueco en el mercado. Abrieron el camino, pero corren el riesgo de ser arrollados por los gigantes que vienen detrás. CAPÍTULO 2: BAIC, EL GIGANTE A LA SOMBRA DE MERCEDES. BAIC es un coloso estatal, socio de Mercedes-Benz y Hyundai en China y uno de los mayores accionistas de la propia Mercedes. CAPÍTULO 3: BYD, EL GIGANTE DE LAS BATERÍAS. BYD siglas de "Build Your Dreams" infunde respeto Este gigante privado, que empezó fabricando baterías para móviles, es hoy el mayor productor de vehículos electrificados del mundo. CAPÍTULO 4. CHERY, EL EXPORTADOR REINVENTADO. Chery es un gigante estatal con un pasado complicado, manchado por acusaciones de copias de baja calidad. Pero han aprendido la lección. CAPÍTULO 5: GEELY GROUP, EL IMPERIO ESTRATÉGICO. Geely no es una marca. Ni tampoco una empresa… es un imperio. Este conglomerado privado, dirigido por el brillante estratega Li Shufu. Son dueños de Volvo, Polestar y Lotus, y socios al 50 por ciento de Mercedes-Benz en Smart. Esta jugada les da acceso a muy buena ingeniería y diseño, que luego aplican a sus propias marcas globales. CAPÍTULO 6: GREAT WALL MOTOR, EL ESPECIALISTA EN SUVs. GWM es otro gran fabricante privado, históricamente especializado en SUVs y pick-ups. Su ofensiva se basa en dos pilares. Por un lado, Ora, con coches eléctricos de diseño neoretro muy llamativos y por otro, Wey, su marca premium enfocada en híbridos enchufables de gran lujo. CAPÍTULO 7: NIO & XPENG, VANGUARDIA TECNOLÓGICA. Estas dos startups representan la cara más tecnológica de China. Para muchos son los coches chinos 2.0. No compiten por precio, sino por innovación y por ser la "alternativa a Tesla". CAPÍTULO 8: SAIC MOTOR Y EL FENÓMENO MG. SAIC es el mayor fabricante estatal de China, socio histórico de Volkswagen y General Motors. Compró los restos de la mítica marca británica MG. CAPÍTULO 9. XIAOMI, DE LA ELECTRÓNICA DE CONSUMO... … a los coches. Gigantes de la tecnología como Google o Apple han tenido malas experiencias intentando hacer coches. Pero en China, Xiaomi ha empezado con éxito. CAPÍTULO 10: LEAPMOTOR, SOCIO DE ESTELLANTIS. Stellantis adquirió en 2023 el 20 por ciento de la joven marca china.
