Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero. Junto a Alberto de la Torre, redactor de movilidad de Xataka, analizamos el nuevo EBRO S700. EBRO S700: El Renacimiento de una Marca Icónica en el Corazón de Barcelona El nombre EBRO vuelve a resonar con fuerza en el panorama automovilístico español. Después de décadas de inactividad, la histórica marca regresa al mercado con el lanzamiento del EBRO S700, un SUV compacto que busca hacerse un hueco en un segmento altamente competitivo. Esta nueva etapa de EBRO no solo representa la resurrección de una marca emblemática, sino también un paso estratégico para la reindustrialización de la antigua fábrica de Nissan en la Zona Franca de Barcelona. El Legado de EBRO: De la Historia a la Modernidad Para entender el impacto de este regreso, es importante recordar los orígenes de EBRO. Fundada en 1954 bajo el nombre de Motor Ibérica, EBRO se convirtió rápidamente en un referente en la producción de vehículos industriales, tractores, autobuses y todoterrenos en España. Su vinculación inicial con Ford permitió a la marca consolidarse en el mercado nacional, produciendo camiones y furgonetas basados en modelos de la firma estadounidense. A lo largo de las décadas, EBRO diversificó su producción, incluyendo colaboraciones con Suzuki y más tarde con Nissan, que terminó absorbiendo la marca en 1987, cuando pasó a llamarse Nissan Motor Ibérica. Sin embargo, el espíritu de EBRO nunca desapareció por completo, y en 2023, el grupo chino Chery decidió revivir la marca como parte de su estrategia de expansión en Europa. EBRO S700: Primeras Impresiones de un SUV con ADN Internacional El EBRO S700 es el primer modelo de esta nueva era, un SUV de 4,55 metros de longitud que comparte su plataforma y muchos de sus componentes con el Chery Tiggo 7 Pro. Fabricado en colaboración con Chery, el vehículo se ensambla en la antigua planta de Nissan en Barcelona, lo que permite a EBRO mantener una producción local mientras aprovecha la tecnología y el desarrollo del gigante asiático. Ficha Técnica del EBRO S700 • Tipo de carrocería: SUV de cinco plazas • Dimensiones: 4,553 m (largo) x 1,862 m (ancho) x 1,696 m (alto) • Distancia entre ejes: 2,67 m • Maletero: 500 litros • Motorización: Motor de gasolina 1.6 TDGI turboalimentado de 147 CV • Consumo homologado (WLTP): 7,0 l/100 km • Etiqueta medioambiental: C • Equipamiento destacado: Pantalla de 12,3”, Head-Up Display, cámara 540º, cargador inalámbrico de 50W, asientos calefactados y ventilados • Precio de lanzamiento: Desde 29.990 € Diseño y Habitabilidad: Un SUV para el Día a Día A nivel estético, el EBRO S700 destaca por su diseño robusto, con líneas rectas y un capó elevado que le otorgan una presencia imponente. Su interior sorprende por la amplitud y el cuidado en la elección de materiales, ofreciendo una cabina espaciosa y cómoda para toda la familia. El maletero de 500 litros es uno de sus puntos fuertes, ideal para quienes buscan versatilidad en su día a día. El puesto de conducción está bien resuelto, con asientos amplios y confortables. Las pantallas gemelas de 12,3 pulgadas para el cuadro de instrumentos y el sistema de infoentretenimiento ofrecen una experiencia visual atractiva, aunque con ciertos detalles mejorables en cuanto a resolución. La conectividad está asegurada gracias a la compatibilidad con Android Auto y Apple CarPlay, además de contar con un cargador inalámbrico de alta potencia. Comportamiento en Carretera: Confort por Encima de Todo En marcha, el EBRO S700 se comporta como un SUV orientado al confort. Su dirección blanda facilita las maniobras en ciudad, aunque muestra cierta falta de precisión en carreteras secundarias. El motor de 147 CV ofrece un rendimiento correcto, suficiente para un uso urbano y viajes por autopista, aunque se echa en falta un poco más de respuesta en adelantamientos. El cambio automático de siete relaciones y doble embrague no destaca por su rapidez, lo que obliga a anticipar ciertas maniobras. A pesar de ello, la experiencia de conducción es agradable para quienes priorizan la comodidad sobre la deportividad. En cuanto a los consumos, durante las pruebas se registraron cifras entre 7 y 8 l/100 km, un dato que, aunque superior al homologado, se mantiene dentro de lo esperado para un SUV de su categoría. Tecnología y Seguridad: Equipamiento de Serie Muy Competitivo Uno de los grandes atractivos del EBRO S700 es su amplio equipamiento de serie. Además de las ya mencionadas pantallas, el vehículo incorpora sistemas avanzados de asistencia a la conducción (ADAS), como el control de crucero adaptativo, la frenada de emergencia automática y la alerta de cambio involuntario de carril. Sin embargo, algunos de estos sistemas presentan un funcionamiento mejorable, especialmente en lo que respecta al centrado en el carril, donde el vehículo tiende a “rebotar” entre las líneas si el conductor no mantiene una supervisión constante. Aun así, destaca la cámara de 540º, que facilita enormemente las maniobras de aparcamiento y ofrece una visión panorámica muy útil en entornos urbanos. Un Proyecto en Expansión: El Futuro de EBRO en España El EBRO S700 es solo el comienzo. La marca ya trabaja en el EBRO S800, un SUV de mayor tamaño que compartirá plataforma con el Jaecoo 7. Además, está prevista la llegada de versiones híbridas e híbridas enchufables, lo que permitirá a EBRO ampliar su oferta y adaptarse a las demandas del mercado europeo. Actualmente, EBRO cuenta con 35 concesionarios en España, con el objetivo de alcanzar 80 puntos de venta para finales de 2025. La compañía también está estableciendo una red de proveedores locales para reducir su dependencia de los kits importados desde China y aumentar la producción nacional. Conclusión: ¿Merece la Pena el EBRO S700? El regreso de EBRO al mercado español con el S700 es una apuesta interesante. No se trata de un vehículo revolucionario, pero sí de una opción competitiva para quienes buscan un SUV bien equipado, espacioso y con un precio atractivo. Su principal fortaleza reside en la relación calidad-precio, con un equipamiento difícil de igualar por sus rivales directos en el segmento de los SUV compactos. A esto se suma el valor emocional de una marca que, para muchos, forma parte del patrimonio industrial de España. El EBRO S700 marca el inicio de una nueva etapa para una marca que renace con fuerza y con la ambición de recuperar su lugar en el corazón de los conductores españoles.

Me encantan los coches, pero… hay que reconocer las cosas como son, las tecnología aeronáutica y aeroespacial, sobre todo en los comienzos del automóvil, iba muy por delante. Tanto como para que el automóvil “robase” tecnologías del mundo aeronáutico… y lo sigue haciendo ¿no te lo crees? No te traigo ni uno ni dos, sino 20 ejemplos. Justo es reconocer que hubo dos hechos que impulsaron el desarrollo de la técnicas aeroespaciales y aeronáuticas, que van de la mano. El primer hecho fue la II Guerra Mundial. Pero un empujón tecnológico igual o superior llegó con la carrera espacial. The Planetary Society, especialistas en estos temas, estiman que, en dólares actuales teniendo en cuenta la inflación, los USA se gastaron, agarraos, casi 300.000 millones de dólares… para que te hagas una idea, más del doble del PIB de un país como Marruecos… increíble. Muchas de esas tecnologías llegaron a los aviones y de ahí, al automóvil. No olvidemos que hubo marcas involucradas en ambos negocios, como por Saab, desaparecida como marca de coches, pero no de aviones, o Matra ahora asociada a Aéroespatiale, y que además de coches de calle, competición y F1 fabricó misiles… por ejemplo. Pero vamos ya con esta lista, por orden alfabético, porque ¡son 20! 1. Antibloqueo de frenos o ABS. 2. Aerodinámica. 3. Alerones. 4. Baño de oro. 5. Caja negra. 6. Cristales calefactados. 7. Chapa ondulada. 8. Efecto suelo. 9. Electrónica. 10. Empleo del aluminio. 11. Empleo de la fibra de carbono. 12. Empleo del titanio. 12+1. Estabilizador longitudinal. 14. Freno aerodinámico. 15. GPS. 16. Head-Up Display. 17. Inyección directa de combustible. 18. Night Panel. 19. Radar. 20. Turbocompresor. Conclusión. Aunque he pretendido ser exhaustivo, seguro que me he dejado cosas en el olvido… pero para eso estáis vosotros… os leo en comentarios. Coche del día. Voy a elegir al Saab 900 Aero de 1997 por dos motivos. Primero, fue un coche fabricado por una empresa dedicada a la aeronáutica… y se notaba. Y segundo, fue el primer coche, si no me equivoco, que probe con Night Panel.

The company says it has collected 200,000 refundable $100 deposits for the Lightning since it debuted in May. - Ford hasn't said how many it plans to build in 2022, but Automotive News reports that the automaker is looking to build as many as 80,000 in 2023. The company has publicly said it wants to build that many in 2024 after originally targeting just 40,000 annually and has been hiring new workers to handle the demand. - That base model is supposed to offer around 230 miles of range and has a more bare-bones interior, including a 12-inch landscape touchscreen display that runs Sync 4. Higher trims will come with the same 15.5-inch vertical touchscreen from the Mustang Mach-E, and there's an extended range battery option that can push the range to around 300 miles.

While revealing the model name as the Silverado E, Park confirmed the Chevrolet would make its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show next month. - While full details of the Silverado E will be revealed in January, Park assured the audience the electric pick-up would offer a driving range of at least 300 miles – or 483 kilometres. - Like the GMC Hummer EV – which uses the same Ultium electric platform as the Chevrolet – the Silverado E will adopt four-wheel-steering to greatly improve its turning circle. - The Chevrolet Silverado E will be unveiled on January 5, 2022, with production set to begin in early 2023.

Instagram user wilcoblok has published surprisingly revealing images of a prototype devoid of any camouflage. These seem to be real photos rather than a professional Photoshop job and depict the hot hatch version judging by the S. - we're not seeing the traditional dual exhaust tips mounted in the middle. Corroborated with the lack of a traditional front grille, we have reasons to believe we're actually looking at the electric Cooper S. The front-end design is quite familiar with the big and round circles of the headlights, although the lower lights have been removed to give the bumper a simplified look. - The rear lights have a trapezoidal shape and feature an intricate black pattern reminding us of a spider's web. - . It doesn't seem to have a digital instrument cluster, but it does boast a head-up display. Taking center stage is the big circle serving as the touchscreen from the infotainment system.

Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) withhold support of the broader package, lawmakers will need to negotiate a change to the credit, although it's unclear whether that will be necessary. The credit could also be chopped altogether. - The massive measure is being advanced through a budget reconciliation process to allow Democrats to pass the bill with a simple Senate majority. - A separate former senior Republican staff member said that there shouldn't be a concern with the labor-friendly incentive under budget rules, considering it's an amendment to an existing tax incentive. The $4,500 would be available in addition to a base credit of $7,500 available for most consumers purchasing an electric vehicle.

Currently, finished magnets and raw materials, such as neodymium, are sourced largely from China. - the two deals are expected to create “hundreds” of jobs and provide enough magnets for all the motors GM will need going forward. - Previous deals have laid out plans for GM to source raw minerals to finished components from suppliers in the U.S. and Canada. That's a critical move, said analyst Stephanie Brinley of IHS Markit. It would not only reduce dependence on potentially unreliable trade partners, like China, but also minimize the risk of supply chain disruptions.

It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. CUPRA BORN LAUNCHED"The Cupra Born has been on the cusp of an official debut for a while, having been unveiled some weeks ago. We didn’t get a close look at it then because the unveiling didn’t go into exhaustive detail. Now, Cupra has finally given us close look we’ve been begging for, and it has revealed a familiar design with a cool twist." reports Jalopnik: "The slower of the two models will make about 148 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. The second will make about 201 HP and the same torque. But there’s more: Cupra will offer an e-Boost performance pack that bumps up the output to around 228 HP. The e-Boost Borns will be available with either a 58 kWh or 77 kWh battery. When drivers configure their Born to include the e-Boost and come with the smaller 58 kWh battery, the Cupra can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds." As for charging, Cupra says: "The high-performance EV can add an additional 100km [62 mi.] of range in as little as 7 minutes using a 125kW charging point, making typical journeys as simple and easy as if using a combustion engine vehicle. And even if the battery pack SOC [state of charge] is only 5% it can be replenished to 80% in as little as 35 minutes." Going inside: "The steering wheel is one of the most striking features, having two buttons for switching between driving modes and selecting the CUPRA mode, and both have a great touch. The dashboard has a very good feel and the passenger side is topped with a similar inlay. The whole thing is adorned by two screens, a 12.0-inch one for the multimedia system and a smaller one for the digital instrument panel. In addition, the Head-Up Display with augmented reality contributes to the technological array." says Motor1: "The Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), progressive steering, brakes, and ESC Sport mode for the stability control are all details that suggest this car will be very complete dynamically. We wait for UK pricing for CUPRA Born to be announced in the fourth quarter of 2021 with deliveries starting in early 2022." https://jalopnik.com/the-cupra-born-is-a-cooler-sportier-electric-car-from-1846969030 https://uk.motor1.com/news/509373/cupra-born-ev-suv-revealed/ FORD IS DEVELOPING ELECTRIC EXPLORER SUV, TWO DEDICATED EV PLATFORMS FOR DEBUT BY 2025"As part of a broad shift toward electric vehicles, Ford is developing two dedicated EV platforms—one for full-size pickup trucks and SUVs, the other for cars and smaller SUVs—for debut by 2025, the company confirmed Wednesday. The automaker's first batch of mass-market EVs largely relies on platforms adapted from internal-combustion models, or borrowed from other automakers. But its next wave of EV platforms will bring an electric Explorer, Ford confirmed Wednesday, along with the possibility of an electric Bronco." says Green Car Reports: "One of the Ford platforms will be a mid-size platform, supporting a wide range of rear- and all-wheel-drive vehicles ranging from crossovers to pickups, while the other larger platform will be designed for next-generation full-size pickups and SUVs." https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1132383_report-ford-is-developing-two-dedicated-ev-platforms-for-debut-by-2025 TESLA PHASES OUT RADAR SENSORS, SHIFTS TO CAMERA-BASED AUTOPILOT"Tesla Inc. updated its website Tuesday to announce that Model 3 and Model Y cars built for North America and shipping this month will no longer be equipped with radar." according to Automotive News: "Musk has been famously opposed to lidar technology, which uses pulses of laser light to detect objects. He’s since soured on radar, which uses radio waves to do the same thing. Tesla’s sensor suite previously relied on radar as well as eight cameras. While Musk has said for several years he believes Tesla is on the verge of delivering Level 5 autonomy -- meaning its cars won’t require human intervention -- drivers have needed to keep their hands on the wheel when using Autopilot. Tesla raised more than $2 billion two years ago after Musk made several predictions about robotaxis that didn’t materialize. Many Tesla customers who have Autopilot say that the features get better over time as the company rolls out new software updates." Tesla posted a blog update:  We are continuing the transition to Tesla Vision, our camera-based Autopilot system. Beginning with deliveries in May 2021, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built for the North American market will no longer be equipped with radar. Instead, these will be the first Tesla vehicles to rely on camera vision and neural net processing to deliver Autopilot, Full-Self Driving and certain active safety features. Customers who ordered before May 2021 and are matched to a car with Tesla Vision will be notified of the change through their Tesla Accounts prior to delivery. For a short period during this transition, cars with Tesla Vision may be delivered with some features temporarily limited or inactive, including: Autosteer will be limited to a maximum speed of 75 mph and a longer minimum following distance.Smart Summon (if equipped) and Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance may be disabled at delivery." And Elon Musk posted another updated timeline: "“Pure vision Autopilot is now rolling out in North America. There will be an update of this production release in 2 weeks, then FSD beta V9.0 (also pure vision) a week later.”"  So, mid June? https://www.autonews.com/technology/tesla-phases-out-radar-sensors-shifts-camera-based-autopilot https://www.tesla.com/support/transitioning-tesla-vision SABOTEUR ARSON ATTACK ON TESLA BERLIN"German police are investigating whether a fire that broke out overnight at the construction site of Tesla's first European gigafactory had a political motive, after far-left activists claimed responsibility." reports Reuters: "The fire at Gruenheide in the eastern state of Brandenburg early on Wednesday morning damaged several power cables leading to the Tesla site and an area of around 3 square metres, said a spokesman for the LKA state criminal investigation office. The spokesman said arson was not being ruled out and investigators were examining a letter that circulated on social media during Wednesday which claimed responsibility. The letter, which was published on a radical left platform, said it had cut the power supply to the Tesla site by setting fire to six high-voltage cables above ground." https://www.reuters.com/technology/german-police-investigate-possible-arson-tesla-site-2021-05-26/ FORD WILL SPEND $30 BILLION ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES"Ford Motor said on Wednesday that it would increase spending on electric vehicles by about a third from its previous plans and expects E.V.s to make up 40 percent of its production by 2030, a big increase in its commitment to the electrification of cars and trucks." writes the New York Times: "The company intends to spend $30 billion in the five years ending in 2025, up from the previous target of $22 billion. It also said it had accepted 70,000 reservations for the F-150 Lightning, the electric version of its top-selling pickup truck. The increase in spending reflects new investments in better technology and production. Last week, Ford said it would form a joint venture with a South Korean company, SK Innovation, to manufacture battery cells at two plants in the United States for future Ford and Lincoln vehicles." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/26/business/ford-electric-vehicles.html BMW LAUNCHES BATTERY PRODUCTION FOR IX & I4"BMW has started manufacturing the high-voltage batteries and battery modules used in the iX and i4 at the Competence Centre for E-Drive Production in Dingolfing. The capacity for the production of the electric motors at the site has also been increased." says electrive: "The batteries for the iX will remain in Dingolfing, where production of the electric SUV is scheduled to start “shortly”. The electric sedan i4 is to be built at the plant in Munich from autumn. At the same time, capacities for the production of the fifth-generation electric motor will be increased. This generation of motors has been produced for the iX3 in Dingolfing since 2020 and is then transported to the vehicle plant in Shenyang in China. In future, motors from this modular system will also be used in the iX and i4 and installed in the vehicles in Germany." https://www.electrive.com/2021/05/26/bmw-launches-battery-production-for-ix-i4/ EVGO: CHARGING STATION USE RETURNS TO NORMAL"This trend is consistent with data related to retail, travel, and automotive sector activity, and is a welcome sign of recovery as we emerge from the pandemic." "Over the last 30 days, average daily throughput on EVgo’s network exceeded pre COVID-19 levels from late 2019 and early 2020. Further supporting the positive economic trajectory, EVgo recently announced achieving more than 250,000 customers on its charging network nationwide." NISSAN SAID TO BE IN TALKS TO BUILD BATTERY PLANT IN UK"Car giant Nissan is said to be in advanced negotiations with the UK government to build a huge electric car battery plant as part of an official push to make Britain the company’s largest electric vehicles (EVs) production hub outside Japan." says mining.com: "The potential factory, which would be built on the existing Sunderland site, is expected to support the production of 200,000 batteries a year and provide thousands of jobs,  FT reported." https://www.mining.com/nissan-in-alleged-talks-to-build-battery-factory-in-the-uk/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM Do you have an opinion on hydrogen power for personal transport?

Podcast "Elektrycznie Tematyczni" napędza marka Volkswagen. W dwudziestym piątym odcinku podcastu „Elektrycznie Tematyczni”, prowadzący Katarzyna Frendl i Paweł Pilarczyk rozmawiają z Michałem Świtajem, koordynatorem ds. elektromobilności marki Volkswagen, o najnowszym ID.4. Pierwszy elektryczny SUV w ofercie producenta został zbudowany na platformie podłogowej MEB, czyli tej samej co zaprezentowany wcześniej ID.3. Co różni oba samochody? Do jakich kierowców chce trafić Volkswagen ze swoim nowym modelem? Jakie wersje będą dostępne i jak będzie wyglądała konfiguracja? Jaki jest zasięg ID.4? Jak się prowadzi? Jak długo trzeba czekać na odbiór samochodu? Na te i wiele innych pytań odpowiedzi znajdują się w najnowszym odcinku naszego podcastu. Pierwszy elektryczny SUV Volkswagena oferowany jest obecnie w kilku prekonfigurowanych wersjach, z dwoma pojemnościami akumulatora i z trzema silnikami do wyboru – o mocy 148 KM, 170 KM lub 204 KM w zależności od wersji akumulatora. Bazowy model z akumulatorem Pure o pojemności 52 kWh dostępny jest od 156 390 złotych. Samochód w tej wersji zapewnia zasięg wynoszący do 346 km (wg WLTP) i jest oferowany w trzech odmianach – podstawowej, City i Style. Analogiczne odmiany dostępne są także dla ID.4 z akumulatorem Pure Performance, który pozwala na szybsze przyspieszenie do 100 km/h, niż wersja Pure (w 9 sekund, podczas gdy wersja Pure osiąga 100 km/h w 10,9 s.). Volkswagen ID.4 z akumulatorem Pro Performance o pojemności 77 kWh, który pozwala osiągnąć zasięg do 523 km (wg WLTP) i przyspieszenie w 8,5 s. do 100 km/h, jest oferowany w wersjach – podstawowej, Life, Business, Family, Tech i Max. Ceny zaczynają się od 190 890 zł za model podstawowy i kończą na 253 190 zł za wersję Max. W wyposażeniu dwóch ostatnich wersji znajduje się m.in. wyświetlacz Head Up Display, który oferuje obraz w rozszerzonej rzeczywistości. Jak podkreśla gość #25 odcinka podcastu – docelowo, od nowego roku modelowego, formuła oferty będzie nieco inna: przez konfigurator będzie można przejść dużo łatwiej niż dotychczas, za pomocą zaledwie dziesięciu kliknięć. Więcej szczegółów i informacji na temat Volkswagena ID.4 znajdziecie w pełnej wersji odcinka #25 podcastu „Elektrycznie Tematyczni”. Zapraszamy do słuchania i subskrybowania.

Show #739   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Sunday 5th April 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   GERMANY HITS RECORD 9.2% EV MARKET SHARE IN MARCH "Europe’s largest auto market, Germany, hit another all-time record plug-in electric vehicle market share in March, reaching 9.2%. The Tesla Model 3 was the best selling full electric model, with an estimated 1490 sales, just ahead of the Renault Zoe. Overall auto market volume fell 38% year on year." says CleanTechnica: "The German EV market was fairly balanced between plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and full battery electrics (BEVs). Notably, plug-in vehicles overtook old-tech plug-less hybrids for the first time. Germany’s 37.7% fall in March auto sales was tough, but still relatively mild compared to a 69% drop in Spain, 72% drop in France, and massive 85% drop in Italy."   https://cleantechnica.com/2020/04/04/germany-hits-record-9-2-ev-market-share-in-march-tesla-model-3-1/   HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR TESLA IS OK DURING A STAY-AT-HOME ORDER "Quarantined at home?  Here are some tips to keep your electric vehicle healthy while sitting for an extended period of time." says Kyle at Out of Spec Motoring. Explains phantom drain in much greater detail. Understanding it is important for all EV owners. He also talks about keeping your car at a 30 to 50 percent state of charge while storing it, opening the car and letting the interior breathe from time to time (hopefully there's no old food or anything else suspect inside), and putting some extra air in your tires.   NEW AUDI E-TRON SPORTBACK "The Sportback line-up mirrors that of the regular e-tron so there are two versions available, starting with the 50 quattro, which has a 71kWh battery, 217-mile range and develops 309bhp. The more potent 55 quattro, which we’re driving here, uses a 95kWh battery for a 278-mile range, and develops a more eye-catching 404bhp." writes AutoExpress: "One thing that doesn’t change, regardless of the version, is the compromise you have to make with the Sportback. It’s 4.9 metres long, like the regular model, but there is around 20mm less headroom in the back, along with an overall luggage capacity that has dropped by 45 litres because of the sloping roofline." Auto Express go on to say: "Speaking of long drives, they are reasonably feasible, thanks to the e-tron’s rapid-charging capability. Hooked up to an ultra-rapid 150kW charger, the battery can be topped up from 10-80 per cent in 30 minutes. The only trouble is finding one; currently there are fewer than 900 publicly available in the UK"   OVER 4,000 VW E-GOLF ORDERS IN GERMANY IN ONE MONTH "People in Germany are wanting more Volkswagen e-Golf than ever before - sort of. According to industry analyst Matthias Schmidt (schmidtmatthias.de), the number of orders for the "good-old" Volkswagen e-Golf went through the roof in Germany last month." reports InsideEVs: "The "internal industry sources" indicate that a record of more than 4,000 new orders were placed in March, which sounds extreme not only because of the number but also because of the COVID-19 outbreak."   https://insideevs.com/news/407887/unofficial-4000-vw-egolf-orders-germany-march/   VOLKSWAGEN ID.3 PROMISES THE INDUSTRY’S MOST BRILLIANT HEAD-UP DISPLAY "The Volkswagen ID.3 may have encountered some software issues just as it was about to start shipping, but even so, it’s arguably still worth the wait for many of the advanced pieces of tech it has to offer. One is the optional advanced head-up display system, which based on what we’ve seen in VW’s promo videos, is more brilliant and more advanced than anything else on the market." according to Motor1.com: "Mind you, we’re still taking this with a grain of salt, since VW says that what it has shown so far is a near-production version of the system that will be available for the ID.3, so it is still subject to change. But the manufacturer clearly states that “The augmented reality head-up display projects the navigation directions straight into the traffic situation ahead, as you’re driving.”" “So it will show you arrows hovering right above the intersection where you need to turn (as well as various other graphics to highlight other cars, for instance) and your destination will be displayed on this HUD too; it looks a lot like what you might see in a free-roam car game and it honestly looks a bit too good to be true.”   https://www.msn.com/en-gb/autos/enthusiasts/volkswagen-id3-promises-the-industry-e2-80-99s-most-brilliant-heads-up-display/ar-BB12eISD   QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS   Rajeev Narayan I say we give them the benefit of the doubt, we need all hands on deck, to move towards EVs. My Chevy Bolt had software issues when I bought it, but they have been fixed with software updates. If GM can do it, I am confident VW can as well.   Stefan Neither a pass or a hammer should be applied.   The market will punish or reward legacy auto makers for the speed of their transition to EV's.  Due to poor performance of Legacy automakers Tesla is here to stay.  If they keep it up the big 3 may refer to Tesla, Rivian and Lucid.   Rich Fowler I had an immediate reaction to your question about VW, and the TL;DR version is: Don't dogpile on a company that's not doing something legally, ethically, or morally wrong at the moment. On the other hand, if VW were to get caught up in more diesel shenanigans, then it would be perfectly fair to point out a "pattern or practice of bad faith activity," and pile on.  But with this story, that isn't the case. This is a case where they've bitten off a bit more than they can chew on the software side, and they're still actually TRYING to make EVs.   Alex McKenna Maybe VW shouldn't have used Windows ! That's asking for trouble :-)   Peter Sort i would not like one of those ID3s that been sitting in a feild for months uncharged what battery damage will have been done befor you even get it                 John Hughes Question of the week - We should treat them as hard as they treated Tesla, in the early days, when Tesla was having development problems.   Roger Starkey If they came (come) to market quietly, or showing respect for those already there, the same respect should be shown to them. If they came in "talking the talk", with a "killer" attitude..... They deserve "criticism" to match.   Peter Mooney Yes, I do think we should give them a hard time. But only when they put profit ahead of what is right, and employ FUD to do it.  They should be held accountable for their part in climate change.   JOHN FRUHWIRTH I say no. We should not go easy on  big auto. They have given us a misleading/fraudulent song and dance for far too long. Their greed has not only cost us billions, polluted our environment but they have also contributed to our greatly to our health problems. Tesla has shown us that their model building compelling EVs is woefully wanting. Not only can they not make a car to compete with Tesla's 2012 vintage cars in terms of efficiency, they cannot even manage their supply chains (e.g. enough batteries to keep their factories up and running). And now we learn that they have no idea how to make the software to run the hardware.   BARRY WOLF Even though VW is going electric because of its sins, it is good that it is investing $billions, both on internal projects, and fines, to advance EV transport. Instead of criticizing it, I would hope people could offer to help in some way to get the ID.3 on the road. Not that I can program, but maybe, especially now during the plague, there are those with automotive BEV expertise who can offer help to VW.   LEANNE ROBERTS I don't think that manufacturers that are trying to make EVs should be heavily criticised. I do however think that companies who refuse to acknowledge the changes to personal transport or update their OLD hybrid technology, should be shamed and forced to remove their grossly misleading advertising.   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   If you’re staying at home and not driving, what condition or state of charge are you leaving your EV parked up in?   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 238 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

Im vergangenen Jahr schlug Opel mit dem neuen Combo Life ein weiteres Kapitel in seiner Geschichte auf. Die nunmehr fünfte Combo-Generation ist ein echter Allrounder, der auf einer komplett neuen Architektur basiert. Er kombiniert ein hohes Platzangebot und ist zudem ausgesprochen flexibel und praktisch. Darum geht es diesmal!Bestimmte Schlüsselworte assoziiere ich immer mit Musik.  Lese ich zum Beispiel irgendwo das Wort „Life“, also Leben, denke ich sofort an „Life is Life“ von Opus und höre den Einstieg mit dem Schlagzeug. Demzufolge war das 14 Tage lang MEIN SONG, während ich den Opel Combo Life getestet habe. Mit einem maximalen Kofferraumvolumen von 2.126 Liter bzw. sogar 2.693 Litern in der XL Version wäre das übrigens auch ein geeigneter Transporter für ein XXL-Schlagzeug und noch ein paar andere Instrumente! Das Outfit!Den 1,80 Meter hohen Opel Combo Life gibt es als 4,40 Meter lange Standardversion oder als 35 Zentimeter längere Langversion und mit bis zu zwei Schiebetüren. Beide Varianten kann man als Fünf- oder als Siebensitzer ordern. Power und Drive!    Antriebsseitig stehen dem Opel Combo Life ein Benzinmotor mit 81 kW (110 PS)  und drei 1.5 Liter Dieselaggregate mit 56 kW (76 PS), 75 kW (102 PS) und 96 kW (130 PS) zur Verfügung. Die letztgenannte Variante ist auch mit einer 8-Stufen-Automatik zu haben, die anderen mit 5- bzw. 6-Gang Schaltgetrieben. Wir haben uns mit 56 kW (76 PS) zufriedengegeben. Damit waren wir nach 16,5 Sekunden bei Tempo 100 angelangt, die maximale Geschwindigkeit liegt bei 153 km/h. Der Kraftstoffverbrauch nach NEFZ beträgt im kombinierten Verbrauch zwischen 4.1 l und 4.5 Liter Diesel auf 100km, die CO2 Emission nach NEFZ kombiniert zwischen 108.0 und 118.0 g / km. Die Innenausstattung!Sehr erfreulich ist, dass es heutzutage auch in Fahrzeugen der Combo-Life-Kategorie Assistenzsysteme in Hülle und Fülle gibt. Je nach Ausstattungslinie entweder serienmäßig oder optional gibt es zum Beispiel einen Geschwindigkeitsregler, Fahrerassistenz-Systeme wie Müdigkeitserkennung, 180-Grad-Rückfahrkamera mit Vogelperspektive und IntelliGrip. Oder auch Head-Up-Display,  Frontkollisionswarner mit automatischer Gefahrenbremsung und Fußgänger-Erkennung sowie den Verkehrsschild- und Spurhalte-Assistenten. Die Kosten!Die Preisskala des Combo Life beginnt bei 19.995,00 Euro und endet bei 31.550,00 Euro. Zwischen 20.145,00 Euro und 26.200,00 Euro muss man für die 56 kW (76 PS) Variante anlegen, die es aber im Gegensatz zu den anderen Motorversionen nicht in der XL-Version gibt.

  Thema heute:    Familienfreund und Alltagsheld: Der innovative Opel Combo Life     Foto: Opel Automobile GmbH   Dürfen wir vorstellen? Hier ist er, der neue Opel Combo Life. Es ist die mittlerweile fünfte Combo-Generation, sie basiert auf einer komplett neuen Architektur. Sie bietet sehr viel Platz, ist höchst flexibel und praktisch.  Sie ist mit ein oder zwei Schiebetüren lieferbar und wahlweise als Kurzversion mit 4,40 Meter Länge oder XL-Version. Dann ist sie 4,75 Meter lang. Platz wird jeweils für fünf oder sieben Passagiere geboten. Foto: Opel Automobile GmbH   Der Combo Life ist nicht nur, aber auch für Familien attraktiv. Er bietet ein Wohlfühlambiente mit zahlreichen hochmodernen Technologien, die in dieser Klasse ihresgleichen suchen. Los geht es mit einem attraktiven Einstiegspreis von 19.995 Euro inkl. MwSt.. Dabei hat der Allrounder schon in der Ausstattungslinie Selection serienmäßig Fahrerassistenz-Systeme wie Frontkollisionswarner mit automatischer Gefahrenbremsung und Fußgänger-Erkennung, Spurhalte-Assistent, Berg-Anfahr-Assistent, intelligenter Geschwindigkeitsregler und Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzer sowie Müdigkeits- und Verkehrsschilderkennung an Bord. Foto: Opel Automobile GmbH Dazu kommen schon in der Einstiegsversion Features wie der Komfortsitz sowohl für Fahrer als auch Beifahrer sowie die getönte Wärmeschutzverglasung.  Wem das noch nicht ausreicht, der kann die nächsthöhere Variante Edition ordern. Die gibt es ab 23.450 Euro. Hier sind dann schon weitere Ausstattungsmerkmale wie das Apple CarPlay und Android Auto kompatible Multimedia-Radio mit acht Zoll großem Farb-Touchscreen, Klimaanlage sowie das beheizbare Lederlenkrad standardmäßig dabei. Keine Frage, der neue Opel Combo Life hebt die Messlatte im Segment in Sachen Sicherheit und Komfort an. Foto: Opel Automobile GmbH So kommen aus dem kompakten SUV-Segment bekannte und etablierte Technologien und Fahrerassistenz-Systeme wie die 180-Grad-Panorama-Rückfahrkamera mit Vogelperspektive und Head-Up-Display genauso zum Einsatz wie das adaptive Traktionssystem IntelliGrip, bei dem beste Traktion und stabiles Fahrverhalten gewährleistet werden, egal ob der Combo Life gerade auf Matsch, Sand, regennasser Fahrbahn oder Schnee unterwegs ist. Neu ist zudem der Flankenschutz. Das System warnt mittels zwölf Sensoren beim Rangieren im niederen Geschwindigkeitsbereich davor, dass eine Fahrzeugseite ein Hindernis (Pfeiler, Wände etc.) streifen oder mit ihm kollidieren könnte. Darüber hinaus macht der Opel Combo Life auch rein äußerlich eine überaus gute Figur. Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

‘RECOVER!’ came the shout from the back seat of my Tornado GR4 combat jet but it wasn’t necessary - I had already started to yank back on the controls as hard as I could! Our 25 tonne fuel laden bomber was now a treacherous 40 degrees nose down and shuddering madly as the airflow violently separated from the wing due to my impossible demands. As we broke through the base of the cloud, my Head Up Display was suddenly filled with a sickening amount of earth and fields. This was bad. The Ground Proximity Warning System sounded. ‘WOOP, WOOP! - PULL UP, PULL UP!’ ‘7, 6, 5 - that’s 400 ft Tim!’, called my Weapons Systems Officer. We were well outside ejection seat parameters and we both knew it. How had I got us into this mess?Post Here See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Joined today by Clark Dever, the founder of Head Up Display, a visual notification system for workers in hazardous environments. Today we discuss how to travel the United States of America for only $600, the future of e-sports entertainment, and how to compete with Google Glass and Oculus Rift. Also, how do you grow a startup ecosystem out of a an industrial renaissance? Buffalo N.Y. may have the answer. Elon Musk's Solar City, ecosystem driving programs like Z80 Labs and 43 North, and affordable cost of living are some of the things driving Buffalo forward as a startup city.

Fahrrelevante und unterhaltungsbezogene Informationen werden, historisch betrachtet, räumlich getrennt im Fahrzeuginnenraum angeordnet: Für die Fahraufgabe notwendige Anzeigen befinden sich direkt vor dem Fahrer (Kombiinstrument und Head-Up Display) und Inhalte des Fahrerinformationssystems in der Mittelkonsole (zentrales Informationsdisplay). Aktuell ist eine Auflösung dieser strikten Trennung zu beobachten. Beispielsweise werden im Kombiinstrument Teilumfänge der Infotainmentinhalte abgerufen und bedient. Um dem Fahrer einen sicheren Umgang mit den zunehmenden Infotainmentinhalten zu ermöglichen, die Komplexität des Fahrerinteraktionsraumes zu reduzieren und den Kundennutzen zu steigern, betrachtet die vorliegende Arbeit die derzeit isolierten Displays ganzheitlich und lotet die Grenzen der momentan strikten Informationsverteilung neu aus. Es werden Grundlagen für die verkehrsgerechte Bedienung und Darstellung verteilter Informationen abhängig von deren Anzeigefläche gelegt, Konzepte zur nutzerinitiierten Individualisierung entwickelt und das Zusammenspiel von unterschiedlichen Anzeigeflächen evaluiert. Die in dieser Arbeit durchgeführten Studien zeigen, dass der räumlich verteilte Fahrerinteraktionsraum die Bedienung des Fahrerinformationssystems für den Nutzer sicherer und attraktiver gestaltet.

La potenza dei motori e la dinamica di guida – nella migliore tradizione delle coupé di Monaco – assicurano un’esperienza di guida esaltante. Alla sportività ed il piacere di guida da coupé purosangue, la BMW Serie 6 Gran Coupé abbina equipaggiamenti esclusivi, generosa abitabilità nella zona posteriore e un eccellente livello di funzionalità. Le dimensioni sono importanti, con una lunghezza di poco più di 5 metri ed una larghezza di quasi un metro e 90 centimetri. Tanta imponenza viene però ben dissimulata dalle forme affusolate e da un’altezza di appena un metro e 39 centimetri, da autentica coupé sportiva. La Gran Coupé è disponibile nelle versioni 640i e 640d con motori TwinPower Turbo 6 cilindri di 3 litri da 320 cavalli per il benzina e 313 per il diesel. A settembre arriveranno anche le versioni 650i che porteranno al debutto il nuovo V8 TwinPower Turbo di 4,4 litri da 450 cavalli che sarà abbinato anche alla trazione integrale BMW xDrive. Tutte le versioni sono equipaggiate con un cambio automatico a otto rapporti, pulsante di selezione della modalità di guida Eco Pro e funzione start/stop automatico con Stop&Go. Le dotazioni di sicurezza sono ai vertici, come da tradizione BMW, e prevedono, tra gli altri, gli ancoraggi Isofix per i bambini – nascosti sotto un’elegante cerniera integrata nel rivestimento dei sedili posteriori laterali. Ma la lista degli optional è praticamente infinita con innovativi sistemi di assistenza alla guida come l’Head-Up Display a colori, i fari adattivi a Led, il pacchetto M Sport, un programma specifico di personalizzazione BMW Individual, sospesioni a controllo dinamico DDC e lo sterzo attivo, solo per citarne alcuni... La BMW Serie 6 Gran Coupé esordirà sul mercato a inizio giugno con prezzi a partire da 81.000 Euro.
