There's a lot of fantastic music being made by Brazilian artists living in the U.S. They entertain an estimated 1.5 million Brazilian immigrants here as well as a growing number of other fans. And Brazilian music is enjoying a resurgence here - on Mazda commercials, endless bossa nova soundtracks played in upscale restaurants; inter-cultural collaborations and so on. We'll hear many of the best: Jorge Alabe, the godfather of many samba schools; Bebel Gilberto, daughter of bossa pioneer Joao Gilberto; singer Luciana Souza; the quirky percussionist Cyro Baptista; the funky, unorthodox Forro in the Dark and others. They all have fascinating stories to tell. We'll hear them in concert, visit with them in their homes, and hear songs from records produced in the U.S. New York University's widely published Professor of Music Jason Stanyek will be our co-host.

By the late 2000s, shrinking markets, tightening emissions, and a younger generation losing interest in vehicles signaled the end of the legendary JDM era. But a few rebellious engineers refused to go quietly, choosing instead to make their last cars arguably their greatest.In this second-to-last episode of Past Gas: The Golden Era of JDM, we explore the dramatic conclusion of Japan's greatest automotive era. Discover how Nissan built the R35 GT-R from scratch to successfully crush Porsche at the Nurburgring, why Toyota intentionally lost money on every screaming V10 LFA they built to educate their next generation of engineers, the heartbreaking cancellation of Honda's highly anticipated V10 NSX, and how Mazda kept the pure driving spirit alive despite the death of the rotary engine. This episode is brought to you by Lumi Gummies!

This week Tom opens the show clarifying the difference between mild-hybrid and full-hybrid applications. Tom notes that mild hybrid drivetrains are found mostly on European luxury vehicles. In advance of chatting with Scout Motors' Ryan Decker, Jill and Tom discuss how few all-new car brands have been launched in the past 25 years. Listen in for a list. Still in the first segment, the hosts are joined by fellow automotive journalist Ed Piotrowski. Ed attended the 2026 Midwest Automotive Media Association Spring Rally, and wrote a comparison review of four compact crossovers: The Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4, and Volkswagen Tiguan. There's big news here, as for 2026 the Jeep and Toyota are all new--and now hybrid only--the Mazda is redesigned, and the VW has been treated to an updated powertrain. Listen in for Ed's insights. In the second segment, the hosts are Joined by Scout Motors Vice President of Strategy and Branding Ryan Decker. Ryan shares details regarding Scout's position in the market place, the products themselves, and what to expect regarding Scout's direct-to-consumer sales plan. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's "Is it still being built?" quiz. After the quiz Jill talks a little about the redesigned Subaru Outback Wilderness, with which she recently spent time.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Coches con ingeniería de verdad (y que no pierden valor). ¡Basta de electrodomésticos con ruedas! En un mercado de 2026 dominado por precios inflados y normativas asfixiantes como la Euro 7, todavía existen "islas de cordura" mecánica. Hoy rompemos nuestra tónica habitual de denuncia para ser positivos: existen coches que valen lo que cuestan. Una "compra maestra" no es simplemente el coche más barato del concesionario. Es aquel donde el valor de la ingeniería supera el coste de adquisición; coches que dentro de una década seguirán siendo fiables y mantendrán un valor de reventa envidiable. Los Utilitarios Indestructibles 1. Dacia Sandero (ECO-G 120 CV): El coche inteligente por excelencia. Gracias al GLP, ofrece el coste por kilómetro más bajo del mercado térmico con una robustez mecánica a prueba de bombas. 2. Suzuki Swift (Mild Hybrid): Una lección de física con solo 920 kg de peso. Al ser ligero, no necesita motores gigantes ni frenos sobredimensionados para ser ágil y eficiente. 3. Renault Captur (E-Tech 160): El equilibrio perfecto. Su caja de cambios sin embrague, inspirada en la F1, lo convierte en un SUV compacto sorprendentemente eficiente. Compactos y berlinas de lógica aplastante 4. Mazda 3 (e-Skyactiv X): La resistencia contra la obsolescencia. Su motor de encendido por compresión es una joya técnica que combina lo mejor del gasolina y el diésel en un chasis construido para durar décadas. 5. Toyota Corolla (200H): La apuesta más segura. Su transmisión e-CVT es el mecanismo más fiable del mundo: sin embragues ni correas. Es el coche para olvidarse de las averías. 6. Skoda Octavia (1.5 TSI mHEV): El rey del sentido común. Más espacio que muchas berlinas de lujo y una eficiencia de combustible asombrosa gracias a la desconexión de cilindros. SUV con sentido mecánico 7. Honda HR-V (e:HEV): Máquina de precisión donde el motor de gasolina trabaja principalmente como generador. Fiabilidad Honda en estado puro. 8. Kia Sportage (HEV 230 CV): Un producto redondo con una garantía de 7 años que sigue siendo el estándar de tranquilidad en 2026. 9. Renault Austral (E-Tech 200 CV): Destaca por su sistema de cuatro ruedas directrices (4Control), que le otorga una agilidad de coche urbano en un cuerpo de SUV familiar. El Oasis Eléctrico 10. Renault 5 E-Tech: Ligero, divertido y con alma. Demuestra que la movilidad eléctrica no tiene por qué ser aburrida. 11. Suzuki eVitara: La entrada de Suzuki en el eléctrico puro manteniendo su herencia 4x4 y su legendaria honestidad mecánica. Caprichos que son una inversión 12. Alpine A290: El "hot-hatch" eléctrico definitivo. Un juguete con puesta a punto de Alpine y valor de colección asegurado. 13. Mazda MX-5 (2.0 184 CV): El último roadster analógico. Comprar uno hoy es proteger tu patrimonio; su devaluación es prácticamente inexistente. 14. Toyota GR Yaris: Un coche de rallyes con matrícula. Exclusividad técnica que valdrá mucho más en el futuro de lo que cuesta hoy. 15. Suzuki Jimny (Mild Hybrid): El pequeño gigante regresa. Indestructible, icónico y con un valor de reventa que nunca cae. Conclusión Comprar un coche en 2026 requiere valentía, pero elegir basándose en la ingeniería y no solo en las pantallas es la clave. Buscad la ligereza, la mecánica probada y marcas que aún respetan al conductor. Porque al final, lo que importa no es lo que brilla en el catálogo, sino lo que resiste el paso del tiempo.

The UK has made itself the most attractive market in Europe for Chinese car manufacturers, and most dealers have not fully thought through what that means yet. Graeme, CEO of Eden Motor Group, has. He has been in the trade for over 40 years and built a multi-franchise group across Vauxhall, MG, Leap Motor, Mazda, Hyundai and Peugeot. He is direct about the dynamic: aggressive BEV targets and a relatively open import policy are pulling manufacturers toward the UK in a way that France and Germany, with their fiscal management and tariffs, simply are not seeing. That matters for anyone trying to decide which Chinese brands to take on, which to leave alone, and whether the ones arriving now will still be here in five years. This episode is worth your time before you make that call. What's covered: • Why UK BEV mandates are creating a different competitive landscape to the rest of Europe, and what that means for dealer margins  • The specific reasons Eden backed MG and Leap Motor, and what made those two decisions straightforward when others were not  • How Eden's early Vauxhall joint venture worked, including the golden share, the accounting rules and the buyout strategy  • The workwear question: what Eden's exec committee decided after consulting front-of-house colleagues, and why it still divides opinion  • Why Graeme talks to every waiting customer before his morning management meeting, and what he heard this week  • The deliberate decision not to grow Eden beyond a certain size, even when the funding and the franchise opportunities were both available  • What keeps a 40-year industry veteran fully engaged: the honest version, not the polished one Graeme is CEO of Eden Motor Group, a UK franchise group representing Vauxhall, MG, Leap Motor, Mazda, Hyundai and Peugeot. He built the business from a single Vauxhall joint venture, chose quality over scale at every growth stage, and now advises the IMI, a French motor retail business and an American investment bank alongside his full-time CEO role. He has been doing this for over 40 years and still walks the service reception floor before his meetings start. If you are a dealer principal or franchise director trying to make sense of the Chinese brand wave before it makes the decisions for you, this is the episode to start with. About Symco Training: Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words 'real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

The Car Mom Auto Show is just 10 days away! The ladies are in full prep mode getting everything ready for the big weekend. There will be SO much to see and do at the show and it's not too late to get your tickets. CLICK HERE to get yours!  It's been a whirlwind week for Kelly. It all started in Washington D.C. to visit the IIHS headquarters and witness a crash test in real life. She learned so much and had some great conversations with Mazda. Did you know they are the safest cars on the market? Then it was off to brother Craig's engagement party. It was derby themed and the entire family showed up. Let's just say Kris knows how to throw a party!  Updates on the podcast for the summer are here, and it's a good news/bad news situation. The bad news? They'll go down to one episode a week. The good news? Side Hustle Summer is BACK! If you've got a side hustle feel free to reach out to Kelly or Lizz. But the biggest podcast update: Has Kelly finished the book she was supposed to read for the podcast book club? The answer will probably not surprise you...  Kelly's lack of reading could be because she is fully immersing herself in summer with the family. It might not feel like summer yet, but she's not delaying the summer joy. She bought the watermelon. They started the tie-dyeing. Summer starts NOW! She reveals her family's daily summer schedule on today's podcast. Plus, an easy summer dinner in Ditch the Drive Thru reminds you to unleash the power of the Hawaiian roll sliders.

Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian, recaps a Consumer Reports session led by Alex Knizek, outlining CR's nonprofit testing operation (36 cars yearly, 330-acre Connecticut track) and its scoring pillars: road test, reliability, owner satisfaction (380,000 member surveys), and safety, including real-world/track ADAS evaluation. He reads key rankings, including five-to-ten-year reliability led by Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, and Acura, with Tesla last; he contrasts this with the 2026 brand report card topped by Subaru, BMW, Porsche, Honda, and Toyota, and notes Rivian's low reliability but high satisfaction. He shares takeaways that hybrids show 15% fewer issues than ICE, while plug-ins have 80% more issues than hybrids, and discusses model-specific drags (Honda Prologue, Mazda CX-90). He explains his wife's purchase of a 2026 Cadillac Optiq, influenced by pricing, free workplace charging, and Super Cruise. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Why Consumer Reports? 02:07 Inside CR Testing 03:22 Elk Test Explained 04:36 How CR Scores Cars 06:29 Used Car Reliability 09:01 New Car Software Woes 10:56 Brand Report Card 12:54 Surveys Versus Desire 17:01 Hybrids PHEVs EVs 22:23 ADAS & Super Cruise 25:10 EV Reliability Problems 26:46 Safety Rankings 27:37 Top 10 Picks Wrap 28:55 Thanks And Credits ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1354: Today we talk about Mazda trying to define what the brand actually stands for, Ford battling yet another F-150 production headache while inventory stays tight, and Ferrari shocking enthusiasts with a futuristic $640k EV designed alongside former Apple design legend Jony Ive.Show Notes with links:Mazda's U.S. CEO says the brand's biggest challenge isn't product, pricing, or even tariffs—it's clarity. As Mazda pushes toward 500,000 annual U.S. sales, Tom Donnelly says dealers will play the starring role in making the brand more distinctive and desirable.Mazda has hovered around 400,000 U.S. sales for two years and believes stronger brand identity is the path to 500,000 units.Dealers were challenged to rethink customer experience with shorter processes, stronger relationships, and what Mazda calls a more “sticky” ownership experience.Donnelly emphasized affordability as a major opportunity, noting Mazda's average transaction price is around $39,000 compared to the industry average above $51,000.Tariffs, incentives, and shifting production have pressured profitability, but Mazda says strategic moves like shifting Mazda3 sedan production to Japan helped improve earnings.“If you walked out of this hotel and asked 10 people what Mazda stands for, you'd get 10 different answers. That is my keeps-me-up-at-night thing.” — Tom Donnelly, CEO of Mazda North American Operations.Ford finally started climbing out of its F-150 inventory hole after last year's aluminum supplier fire… and then a broken hood die shut the line down again. The pause may only last a few days, but when you're already 60,000 trucks behind, every hour matters.Ford paused F-150 production late last week after a hood die reportedly broke at a nearby stamping plant that forms the truck's aluminum hood panels.The Dearborn plant was expected to sit idle Thursday night through at least Saturday, with Memorial Day potentially stretching the shutdown to four days.With two 10-hour shifts running daily, the downtime could cost Ford roughly 2,500 trucks at a time when inventory is already down more than 40% year-over-year.Ford is reportedly considering “super Saturday” or “super Sunday” shifts to claw back lost production and keep dealers supplied heading into summer truck season.Ferrari officially pulled the cover off its first fully electric vehicle, the Luce, and let's just say… the internet has thoughts. Designed with former Apple design chief Jony Ive, the $640,000 EV swaps engine roar for amplified sound and tradition for experimentation.The Ferrari Luce is the brand's first EV and first-ever five-seat Ferrari, using four electric motors to hit 0–60 in under 2.5 seconds with a top speed above 190 mph.Ferrari partnered with legendary Apple designer Jony Ive, creating a glass-heavy, ultra-minimal interior meant to feel more “analog” than tech gadget.Ferrari says range wasn't the priority, with the Luce targeting about 330 miles despite its massive battery pack.Online reactions were… spicy. Many enthusiasts blasted the design for straying too far from Ferrari tradition, while Ferrari shares dropped roughly 6% after the reveal.“As a car becomes electric, it doesn't mean that it needs to be a consumer electronics object.” — Ferrari Chairman John ElkannJoin 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/

Throughout his career, he has driven nearly $1 billion in net new revenue, spearheading massive, headline-making pitch wins for global juggernauts like Toyota (including the London 2012 Olympics campaign) and The Coca-Cola Company. Lewis joined DEPT®'s Americas leadership team, stepping into his role as SVP of Creative & Media. At DEPT®, he oversees a massive portfolio that accounts for roughly half of the agency's regional revenue. Known for his "newsroom mentality"—moving brands away from static campaigns and toward always-on, social-first cultural platforms—Lewis has guided major brands like Google, Snap, eBay, Coach, Mazda, SiriusXM, and The Washington Post through complex digital evolutions. He is a major proponent of fusing human creativity with AI, frequently speaking at industry events (like CES) on how modern, future-fit agencies must leverage technology to scale growth without losing their creative edge.

O por qué los botones físicos son el verdadero lujo. ¿Alguna vez has intentado bajar dos grados el aire acondicionado mientras conduces y has sentido que estabas jugando a una lotería peligrosa entre submenús? No estás solo. En el vídeo de hoy vamos a denunciar una tendencia que ha invadido la industria del automóvil como un virus: la proliferación abusiva de las pantallas táctiles. Nos han vendido que el minimalismo digital es el futuro, pero la realidad es que estamos ante una de las mayores operaciones de ahorro de costes camuflada de vanguardia tecnológica. La ingeniería del ahorro Fabricar un salpicadero "de los de antes" es caro. Se necesita diseño físico, mecanismos para el tacto (háptica), cableado específico para cada interruptor y soportes que aguanten décadas sin crujir. ¿Qué es lo barato? Un solo panel de cristal líquido conectado por un cable de datos a una centralita. A partir de ahí, todo es software. Si el fabricante quiere añadir una función, no diseña un botón; escribe tres líneas de código. Hablemos de números reales. Un interior con botones físicos de calidad puede costar entre 300 y 500 euros más por vehículo que uno que lo fía todo a una pantalla central. Para una marca que fabrica cientos de miles de coches al año, el ahorro es millonario. El problema es que, en el concesionario, esa pantalla te la venden como un extra de lujo bajo nombres rimbombantes. Es el negocio perfecto: ahorran en fábrica y te lo cobran a precio de oro. El peligro de la distracción Aquí la estafa deja de ser económica para ser peligrosa. La memoria muscular permite manejar un coche sin apartar la vista del asfalto. En una pantalla plana no hay tacto; tienes que mirar obligatoriamente. Estudios recientes confirman que el tiempo de distracción para tareas básicas se ha triplicado en coches sin mandos físicos. Es una ironía que nos llenen el coche de asistentes de conducción mientras nos obligan a perder la vista de la carretera para desempañar el parabrisas. Obsolescencia y "caducidad digital" Un botón mecánico de hace 40 años sigue funcionando hoy. ¿Qué pasará con estas pantallas gigantes dentro de 15 años tras soportar veranos a 50 grados? Ya estamos viendo sistemas que se cuelgan, píxeles muertos y software que deja de ser compatible. Si falla la pantalla en un coche moderno, te quedas sin radio, sin GPS y, a menudo, sin climatización. El coche se vuelve inútil por el fallo de una tablet de dudosa calidad. Héroes y Villanos No todos lo están haciendo igual de mal. Mientras marcas como Tesla eliminan incluso la palanca de intermitentes para poner botones táctiles en el volante (una pesadilla en rotondas), o Volkswagen cometía el error de lanzar superficies táctiles sin iluminar, hay "galos" que resisten al invasor. Mazda, por ejemplo, sigue apostando por ruletas físicas y pantallas que no distraen. Honda ha rectificado devolviendo al Civic unos mandos con un tacto mecánico excelente. Incluso Euro NCAP ha tomado cartas en el asunto: a partir de 2026, los coches que no tengan botones físicos para funciones críticas perderán puntos en sus test de seguridad. El retorno de la cordura Las pantallas tienen reflejos, se llenan de huellas y emiten una luz azul que fatiga la vista de noche. Un salpicadero de cristal negro carece de alma; es un televisor con ruedas. Afortunadamente, la presión de los usuarios y de los organismos de seguridad está obligando a muchas marcas a dar marcha atrás. La buena ingeniería es la que se piensa para el ser humano, no para el departamento de marketing o de contabilidad. Menos pantallas y más ergonomía real. ¡Ojos en la carretera!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Jeremy Weller, a Brunswick, Maine native and longtime car enthusiast whose journey through the automotive world has taken some interesting turns.With deep roots in Mazda motorsports, Jeremy shares his background in racing and performance, and how that foundation shaped his passion for cars. Recently, he made the jump into the RHD world with his first right-hand-drive car — a Mitsubishi Evolution IV — marking a whole new chapter in his enthusiast journey.We talk about the transition from track-focused builds to JDM ownership, what drew him to the Evo platform, and how his experience influences the way he approaches cars today.

This week on America on the Road, Jack Nerad and Chris Teague review two strong three-row performers — the engaging 2026 Mazda CX-90 Premium Plus and the upscale 2026 Honda Pilot Elite. They also discuss rising EV interest amid higher gas prices, Tesla's latest Model Y price increases, Honda's major hybrid offensive, Volkswagen's 2027 lineup changes, and a Mazda survey on Gen Z car buyers.

El mercado de ocasión actual es una locura. Los precios están inflados y la mayoría de los compradores se pelean por los mismos modelos: SUVs compactos, híbridos con etiqueta y diseños de vanguardia. Pero en esa pelea por "lo que está de moda", el comprador inteligente tiene una oportunidad de oro. Existe un listado de coches fabricados entre 2014 y 2020 que la gente ignora por desconocimiento o prejuicios estéticos, pero que esconden una ingeniería soberbia. Son los que yo llamo "Diamantes en Bruto". ¿Qué hace a un coche un "Diamante en Bruto"? No se trata de comprar el coche más bonito, sino el mejor construido. Estos modelos suelen haber tenido un único dueño, mantenimientos al día y un precio de derribo porque el mercado los considera "aburridos" o "fuera de tendencia". Sin embargo, bajo el capó esconden motores que son el secreto mejor guardado de los mecánicos. Los 10 elegidos: -Honda Civic (2014-2017): Su diseño "espacial" alejó a muchos, pero su motor 1.6 i-DTEC de 120 CV es una obra maestra del diésel. Sin problemas de cadena y con una fiabilidad electrónica japonesa envidiable. -Hyundai i30 / Kia Ceed (2015-2018): Antes de intentar ser premium, los coreanos hacían compactos honestos con motores atmosféricos (MPI y GDI). Sin turbo hay menos cosas que romper; aguantan el trato duro como pocos. -Mazda 3 (2014-2018): El motor Skyactiv-G 2.0 es una joya. Mazda fue a contracorriente evitando el "downsizing". El resultado es un motor que trabaja relajado, sin carbonilla excesiva y con un consumo en carretera sorprendentemente bajo. -Mitsubishi ASX (2015-2019): Con el motor 1.6 gasolina de la vieja escuela es, sencillamente, un coche para olvidarse de los talleres. Es espartano por dentro, sí, pero mecánicamente es un tanque. -Opel Insignia A (2015-2017): Las berlinas ya no las quiere nadie, y ahí está tu ventaja. Las últimas unidades del Insignia corrigieron todos los fallos de juventud. Un devoramillas cómodo y seguro a precio de saldo. -Seat Toledo / Skoda Rapid (2014-2019): Estética de "coche de abuelo" con inteligencia máxima. Usan componentes probadísimos del Grupo Volkswagen pero sin su complejidad. Espacio gigante y mantenimiento mínimo. -Subaru Forester (2014-2018): El favorito en zonas de montaña. Su tracción total simétrica es de lo mejor del mundo. Si buscas las versiones de gasolina, tienes un todocamino eterno. -Suzuki Vitara (2015-2018): Antes de la micro-hibridación, el 1.6 VVT era un coche ligerísimo. Al pesar tan poco, los componentes de desgaste duran muchísimo más que en sus rivales pesados. -Toyota Avensis (2015-2018): El gran olvidado. Tanto el gasolina 1.8 como el diésel revisado por Toyota están hechos para durar 500.000 kilómetros. Un coche de flota que garantiza mantenimientos escrupulosos. -Volvo V40 (2015-2019): Con los motores propios de 4 cilindros (VEA), es uno de los compactos más seguros y equilibrados jamás fabricados, ahora castigado injustamente por el mercado al dejar de producirse. La visión del ingeniero ¿Por qué estos coches son superiores en el mercado de segunda mano? Por la regla de la madurez tecnológica. Entre 2014 y 2020, mientras algunas marcas experimentaban con soluciones complejas que hoy dan problemas, estos modelos mantuvieron mecánicas probadas. Muchos usan inyección indirecta en gasolina o sistemas de emisiones menos intrusivos, lo que se traduce en menos averías de 800 euros por limpiezas de admisión o fallos de sensores. El Decálogo del Comprador Inteligente Para encontrar estas joyas, hay que seguir estas diez reglas de oro del ingeniero: -Ignora el logo. -Busca el motor "grande" atmosférico. -Huye de las llantas de 19 pulgadas. -Revisa el historial de la marca. -El vendedor particular es clave. -Comprueba la disponibilidad de piezas. -No te asustes por el interior sencillo. -Mira los bajos del coche. -Confía en la simplicidad.

Most organizations don't have a technology problem. They have a focus problem.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton, together with co-host Kim Humphrey, President and CEO of AME, is joined by Rami Goldratt, CEO of Goldratt Group, for a practical, no-fluff deep dive into the Theory of Constraints and what it actually takes to drive breakthrough performance in today's business environment. From why most companies are automating what they can instead of what they should, to the danger of spreading resources thin across too many initiatives, Rami brings decades of real-world experience helping organizations across manufacturing, retail, automotive, engineering, and logistics unlock significant gains in throughput and lead time reduction. Kim adds her lens on why continuous improvement and constraints-thinking are more intertwined than ever, and why the principles Rami's father Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt pioneered are not just still relevant but urgently needed right now.The conversation spans the full arc: inherent simplicity, managing uncertainty with buffers and fast feedback loops, the tug of war between local efficiency and global performance, and what it looks like when an entire engineering organization aligns behind a single constraint to achieve the impossible. The Mazda story alone is worth the listen. If you're navigating complexity, chasing results that keep falling short, or trying to build an organization that can actually adapt and execute, this one's for you.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(08:43) Rami's career journey and key lessons learned(15:26) The legacy and simplicity of Dr Eliyahu Goldratt(18:30) Biggest trends and challenges facing businesses today(23:39) What is Theory of Constraints and the three fears(28:09) Why forecasts keep getting less accurate over time(31:35) Common TOC misconceptions and local vs global efficiency(38:09) Why supply chain variety is destroying forecast accuracy(47:15) The Mazda case study and TOC in actionAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Rami Goldratt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramigoldratt/Learn more about Goldratt Consulting: https://goldrattgroup.com/Connect with Kim Humphrey: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlee-kim-h-5977474/Learn more about AME: https://www.ame.org/Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/aboutLearn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comWatch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-nowSubscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/joinWork with us!

Un Volkswagen Golf original pesaba poco más de 800 kilos. Hoy, un compacto medio roza los 1.500 kg y un SUV equivalente se acerca peligrosamente a las dos toneladas. Nos venden eficiencia y tecnología verde, pero la realidad es que estamos fabricando "tanques" ineficientes. La física no entiende de marketing, y en este vídeo vamos a diseccionar, kilo a kilo, por qué el peso es el mayor pecado de la ingeniería moderna. El mito de la tecnología contra la báscula Es cierto que los motores actuales son mucho más eficientes, pero toda esa ganancia tecnológica la estamos tirando por el desagüe de la báscula. Si aplicásemos un motor moderno a un chasis ligero de hace treinta años, veríamos consumos de 2 litros a los 100 y una agilidad asombrosa. Sin embargo, hemos preferido convertir el coche en un búnker insonorizado y un centro de ocio con ruedas. Desglose del engorde: ¿Dónde están esos kilos? Hemos analizado cuánto pesa cada "capricho" que nos venden como necesario, y la suma es alarmante: -Seguridad Estructural y ADAS: Para cumplir con los estándares actuales de seguridad, los pilares se han triplicado en espesor y los sistemas de seguridad activa (cámaras, sensores, radares) han proliferado. Esto suma aproximadamente 165 kg. -Confort y Aislamiento: El aislamiento bituminoso y las espumas para insonorizar el habitáculo añaden unos 50 kg. Si sumamos cristales laminados más gruesos para aislar del viento, añadimos otros 15 kg. -Asientos "Spa": Un asiento moderno con motores eléctricos, ventilación y masaje pesa unos 35 kg, frente a los 12 kg de uno analógico. El exceso en las plazas delanteras es de 45 kg. -Gadgets y Estética: Portones eléctricos, techos panorámicos de cristal (que pesan el doble que la chapa) y accesorios eléctricos suman otros 85 kg. -Llantas sobredimensionadas: El paso de llantas racionales a llantas de 20 pulgadas añade hasta 48 kg de masa no suspendida, lo cual es crítico para la dinámica del coche. En total, hemos cargado al coche con más de 400 kilos extra de elementos que poco tienen que ver con el desplazamiento eficiente. La trampa de la relación peso-potencia Un Golf GTI Mk2 tenía una relación de 6,9 kg/CV. Para que un Golf moderno con 1.400 kg tuviera la misma agilidad, necesitaría superar los 200 CV. Pero como la mayoría se quedan en 150 CV, los ingenieros deben "engañar" a la física con turbos complejos y desarrollos de cambio, aunque el coche siga siendo más torpe y fatigue antes los neumáticos. El desafío eléctrico: El pecado del litio Si los térmicos han engordado, los eléctricos entran en otra liga. La baja densidad energética de las baterías obliga a cargar con paquetes de 600 o 700 kg para lograr autonomías razonables. Ese sobrepeso de media tonelada condiciona todo: chasis más rígidos, neumáticos especiales y suspensiones mucho más complejas. Un SUV eléctrico de lujo de 2.500 kg es, por definición, una contradicción técnica. ¿Hay esperanza? No todo está perdido. Existen fabricantes que aún luchan contra la báscula. El Alpine A110 demuestra que el aluminio puede obrar milagros; Mazda analiza cada tornillo en el MX-5 para ahorrar gramos; y Suzuki ha logrado el milagro con el nuevo Swift, deteniendo la báscula en 915 kg frente a la competencia que supera los 1.200 kg. La conclusión es clara: el peso es el mayor enemigo de la dinámica, del consumo y de la sostenibilidad real. Si queremos un futuro para el automóvil, la industria debe dejar de mirar las pantallas de infoentretenimiento y empezar a mirar la báscula. Como decía Colin Chapman: "Quítame un kilo antes de darme un caballo".

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyBYD PLANS EUROPE-BUILT CARS FOR EUROPEBYD will design and develop a series of purpose-built models for European consumers over the next three years, starting with the Dolphin G PHEV — set to debut in June and making its UK public appearance at Goodwood in July. Executive VP Stella Li has directed engineers to keep European variants under 4.3 metres, with separate B- and C-segment standards, as BYD stops adapting China-market models and instead builds vehicles tailored to dense European cities.MAZDA DELAYS DEDICATED EV TO 2029Mazda has pushed back its first dedicated EV platform by two years to 2029 and cut EV investment by nearly half, shifting resources toward hybrids and China-sourced electrified products. Before 2029, Mazda will sell China-built EVs — effectively rebadged Changan Automobile models — in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia.AUTOMAKERS SEEK NEW EU CO2 CONCESSIONSVolkswagen Group, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz met EU officials in Brussels on 13 May to press for further flexibility on the bloc's 2035 emissions targets, despite having already won concessions just months ago. Germany's VDA lobby warned that the country's auto sector could shed up to 125,000 additional jobs by 2035 without meaningful improvement in competitiveness.OPEL PREVIEWS 207 KW CORSA GSEOpel has revealed the all-electric Corsa GSE, which it claims will be the fastest-accelerating production Opel ever built, with a 0–100 km/h time of 5.5 seconds from a front-mounted 207 kW permanent magnet motor. The car rides on Stellantis' e-CMP platform and features a Torsen limited-slip differential, Alcon four-piston brakes, lowered sports suspension, and uprated battery thermal management.AUSTRALIA DELAYS FEDERAL EV ROAD CHARGEAustralia's federal government has paused its EV road user charge, opting to first develop a coordinated policy with state and territory governments following the High Court's 2023 ruling that struck down Victoria's version. The budget also restructures EV fringe benefits tax support, narrowing the full FBT exemption from April 2027 to EVs priced at A$75,000 or below on novated leases, before shifting to a 25% FBT reduction for all EVs under the luxury car tax threshold from April 2029.GERMAN OPERATORS BACK ELECTRIC TRUCKSA German study by the Institute for Applied Ecology found that 93% of transport companies already running electric trucks are satisfied or very satisfied, citing high reliability, driving comfort, and low operating costs. The same share expect electric trucks to become the standard fleet vehicle by 2030, though operators flagged high upfront costs and depot grid connection complexity as the main barriers.AI CHARGING METHOD CUTS EV BATTERY WEARResearchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed an AI-driven fast-charging method using reinforcement learning that extends EV battery life by 23% without adding to charge times. The system adapts charging current to each battery's state of health and electrochemistry in real time, reducing internal wear and the risk of lithium plating compared to current one-size-fits-all charging protocols.FIRST BUS TESTS DEPOTS AS GRID ASSETSFirst Bus has launched a trial using its electric bus depot infrastructure to support the National Grid, intelligently scheduling charging to absorb surplus Scottish wind power that would otherwise be curtailed. The UK's largest electric bus operator, with over 1,400 zero-emission vehicles, argues the scheme can cut wasted renewable energy, support grid stability, and improve the economics of fleet electrification.LUCID PUTS UK LAUNCH BACK TO 2028Lucid has delayed its UK market entry to early 2028 — the third such postponement — with European President Lawrence Hamilton saying the firm must sequence its expansion carefully after entering seven or eight more continental European markets in 2026 first. Lucid will skip bringing the current Air and Gravity models to the UK, instead launching only on its new mid-size 800-volt platform with the Cosmos coupé-crossover and Earth SUV variants, built on the Atlas drive unit that cuts manufacturing costs by 37%.UK E-VAN RULES EASE FROM 2026From June 2026, the UK government will remove regulatory barriers for electric vans weighing between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes, aligning them with equivalent diesel and petrol vehicles under the Class 7 MOT framework with a first MOT due after three years rather than one. Driver hours rules will also change, removing mandatory tachograph use and base-distance restrictions, with operators set to save up to 60% on MOT costs under the new regime.UK USED EV SALES HIT Q1 RECORDUK used EV sales hit a record 86,943 units in Q1 2026, up 32% year on year, with around one in 23 used car buyers choosing an EV compared to one in 30 in the same period last year. The surge is being driven by growing used EV supply from strong prior new car sales, lower prices, and improving buyer confidence in battery longevity.

This episode with Yehia Rashdan will take you behind the gates of one of Egypt's biggest car collections to meet the man nobody has ever truly seen. You'll hear what would actually hurt him most if everything he owned disappeared overnight, why he says cars aren't cars to him, the brutal lesson his father taught him with a half-pound coin when he was 10 years old that shaped his entire work ethic, the loneliness of being the only kid who stayed home playing with matchbox cars while everyone else was at the club, why losing a single Mazda on a quiet Cairo road broke him in a way no Lambo ever could, the difference between collecting cars and collecting memories, why he wants to build a museum so the stories don't die when he does, the conversation he has with God every morning about what to ask for in life, and the advice he'd give to any young man lost in the chaos of being 14 to 17 years old.--الحلقة دي مع يحيى رشدان هتاخدك جوه واحد من أكبر مجموعات العربيات في مصر، عشان تقابل الراجل اللي محدش شافه على حقيقته. هتسمع إيه اللي فعلاً هيوجعه لو كل اللي عنده راح في ليلة، ليه بيقول إن العربيات بالنسبه له مش عربيات — دي بني آدمين ليهم شخصيات وأرواح، الدرس القاسي اللي ابوه علمهوله بنص جنيه وهو عنده ١٠ سنين والدرس ده شكّل أخلاق شغله كلها، إحساس إنه كان الطفل الوحيد اللي قاعد في البيت بيلعب بالماتش بوكسز وكل صحابه في النادي، ليه فقدان عربية مازدا واحدة في شارع هادي في القاهرة كسره بطريقة ما كسرته أي لامبورجيني، الفرق بين إنك تجمع عربيات وإنك تجمع ذكريات، ليه عايز يعمل ميوزيم عشان القصص ما تموتش لما هو يموت، الحوار اللي بيعمله مع ربنا كل يوم الصبح وبيطلب فيه إيه من الحياة، والنصيحة اللي بيقولها لأي شاب تايه في فوضى السن من ١٤ ل ١٧.--Yehia Rashdan is one of the largest classic and supercar collectors in Egypt. With over 400K followers across platforms, he's the founder of Roads & Rides Egypt and Apex Racing Simulator, and the owner of Royal House Egypt, La-Z-Boy Egypt, Grab N Go Stores, and Rashdan.eg. A trained athlete and professional driver, Yehia has spent his life building one of the most respected automotive collections in the Middle East.--يحيى رشدان واحد من أكبر جامعي العربيات الكلاسيكية والسوبر كارز في مصر — راجل عاش حياته كلها مع العربيات لحد ما بقى أيقونة. عنده أكتر من ٤٠٠ ألف متابع على منصاته، فاوندر Roads & Rides Egypt و Apex Racing Simulator، وصاحب Royal House Egypt و La-Z-Boy Egypt و Grab N Go Stores و Rashdan.eg. رياضي ودرايفر محترف، يحيى بنى واحد من أكبر مجموعات العربيات في الشرق الأوسط — بس كل عربية في جراجه وراها قصة أكبر بكتير من العربية نفسها. ورا السوبر كارز، راجل اتربى لوحده، اتعلم كل حاجة من أب بنى إمبراطورية من الصفر، وبيجمع عربيات مش للمظاهر — بيجمعها عشان يحافظ على ذكريات كانت هتختفي.

Vivimos en la era de la imagen, donde a menudo se valora más la estética que la solución técnica que esconde un vehículo. En este análisis, rompemos una lanza por los "marginados" del automovilismo: coches que fueron el blanco de mofas por su apariencia, pero que representan la perfección desde el punto de vista de la ingeniería y la funcionalidad. 1. Porsche 914 (1969-1976) A pesar del esnobismo de los puristas, el 914 ofrecía un equilibrio que el 911 envidiaba. Su configuración de motor central le otorgaba un momento de inercia polar bajísimo, permitiendo un paso por curva plano y seguro. Fue tan avanzado que Porsche limitó sus versiones de 6 cilindros para no humillar a sus hermanos mayores en pista. 2. Renault Twingo Gen 1 (1993-2007) El "huevo" de Le Quément revolucionó la habitabilidad urbana. Con solo 3,4 metros, su interior modular permitía desplazar los asientos 17 cm o convertirlos en una cama doble. Fue el primer monovolumen urbano real que priorizó a las personas sobre el hierro. 3. Citroën Berlingo (1996-2008) Frente a la moda SUV, la Berlingo ofrecía una honestidad radical. Utilizando el chasis de turismo del C4 y el eficiente motor 2.0 HDi, demostró que el verdadero lujo familiar son las puertas correderas y el aprovechamiento inteligente del espacio vertical con soluciones como el techo Modutop. 4. Fiat Multipla (1998-2010) El diseño de Roberto Giolito es un manifiesto de la función sobre la forma. Con una estructura de "space frame" y suelo plano, logró meter a seis adultos y su equipaje en solo 4 metros. Sus faros en el escalón del parabrisas y sus vías anchas lo convertían en un coche con un aplomo en carretera sorprendente. 5. Honda Insight ZE1 (1999-2006) Un biplaza híbrido de aluminio que buscaba la eficiencia absoluta. Con un peso de 835 kg y un motor VTEC de mezcla pobre, era capaz de trabajar con una proporción de aire y gasolina de 25:1. Una obra maestra técnica que batió al Prius en ligereza y aerodinámica. 6. Audi A2 (1999-2005) La visión de Ferdinand Piëch de crear el coche más eficiente mediante el "adelgazamiento". Fabricado en aluminio (Audi Space Frame), el A2 era inoxidable y extremadamente aerodinámico (Cx 0,25). Un coche adelantado a su tiempo que Audi vendía a pérdida debido a su compleja fabricación. 7. Toyota Prius Gen 2 (2003-2009) Su genialidad reside en la transmisión transaxle. Al sustituir cajas de cambio convencionales por un juego de engranajes planetarios, Toyota eliminó embragues, correas y motores de arranque. Es el referente absoluto en longevidad mecánica y fiabilidad térmica. 8. Dacia Logan Gen 1 (2004-2012) Técnicamente perfecto por su simplicidad. Diseñado bajo el proyecto X90 para resistir las peores carreteras del mundo, utilizaba piezas simétricas y un salpicadero monobloque para evitar desajustes, heredando suspensiones robustas de los rallyes. 9. Toyota IQ (2008-2015) Un alarde de empaquetamiento extremo. Con menos de 3 metros, el IQ utilizaba un diferencial invertido y un depósito de combustible plano bajo el suelo para maximizar el espacio interior sin sacrificar la seguridad de 5 estrellas EuroNCAP. 10. Mazda 3 Skyactiv-G (2013-2018) Mazda se rebeló contra el downsizing con su tecnología Skyactiv. Lograron una relación de compresión de 14:1 en un motor atmosférico gracias a un colector de escape 4-2-1 optimizado, demostrando que la eficiencia se puede lograr mediante la ingeniería térmica pura y no solo mediante turbocompresores. Conclusión La perfección técnica es la armonía entre lo que un coche promete y lo que realmente entrega. Estos modelos cumplieron sus objetivos con brillantez, recordándonos que, cuando la ingeniería manda sobre el marketing, el resultado suele ser un vehículo eterno y brillantemente ejecutado.

For decades, the world saw Japanese cars as just efficient, economical daily commuters. Then the 1990s hit, and Japan unleashed a lineup of obsessively engineered racing monsters that completely stunned the established European and American giants. Backed by the limitless budgets of the nation's economic "bubble era," Japanese engineers were given the ultimate green light to overbuild their machines without worrying about the cost.From Subaru and Mitsubishi conquering unforgiving rally dirt, to Mazda's unbreakable rotary engine surviving Le Mans, and Nissan's R32 "Godzilla" destroying the Australian touring circuit—Japan didn't just show up to compete. They took over.Discover how these manufacturers stopped being seen as the "optimistic little brother," rewrote the racing rulebooks, and became the ultimate global benchmark.This episode is brought to you by QUO.

In this episode of The Logbook, our History of Motorsports Series, Mark Raffauf traces IMSA's nearly 60-year evolution from John Bishop and Bill France's founding phone call to today's hybrid era. Raffauf recounts IMSA's early experiments with Formula Fords/Vees, the shift to closed-wheel GT racing, the creation of Camel GT, RS/“little car” series on street tires, and All American GT, plus innovations like road-racing stock cars, Group 5, and GTP prototypes developed with the ACO to keep cars available to private teams. He highlights major manufacturers and iconic cars (Porsche 935/962, BMW CSL, Greenwood Corvette, Mazda rotary, Audi 90 GTO, Jaguar, Nissan, Toyota, Ferrari 333 SP), the growth of street races and Firestone Firehawk, rising speeds and safety limits, ownership turmoil, the IMSA split into ALMS and Grand-Am, and the eventual merger leading to today's booming IMSA with strong OEM support and advanced hybrid prototypes. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Mark Raffauf 02:14 IMSA Origins Bishop & Bill France 03:55 First Races Open Wheel 04:53 Closed Wheel Camel GT, Small Cars w/ Street Tires 06:32 All American GT Era 10:42 American Challenge Stock Cars 11:39 Group 5 Turbo Monsters 13:48 GTP Arrives Daytona 1978 15:20 935 Evolution And Innovation 18:11 Privateers Payout Philosophy and the Road America Breakthrough 22:29 Lola T600 Ground Effects 26:14 Audi 90 GTO Quattro 28:28 Jaguars Take Over 29:11 Street Races: Miami and the Downtown street racing boom! 29:42 Wild tech experiments 30:13 GTP rules vs Group C 33:06 Firehawk showroom racers 34:47 Night racing survival 36:54 When speed got dangerous 38:46 Ownership turmoil and exports 40:57 GTP peak and aero wars 44:49 World Sports Car era 46:46 Ferrari 333SP dominance 48:11 Split into Grand Am and ALMS 50:57 Merger to modern IMSA 51:49 Hybrids and today's grid 53:53 Closing remarks and sponsors ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off with a chat about life expectancy, then debate throwback music before playing Michael Jackson and promoting the upcoming biopic “Michael.” They give away movie tickets, discuss slow biopics, and share a coffee catch-up about cheap library book buys, clutter, and too many display pillows. Small Town News confirms Paeroa’s iconic L&P bottle has changed to a more recyclable clear design. The Fuel Wheel finally lands on Mazda, winning Kristelle $5,000 in fuel; she declines the risky re-spin for $50,000, while an 8am spin narrowly misses. The show covers Coachella costs and profits, reads a grumpy Dan’s Diary entry about a Rangitoto trip, shares listeners’ worst school trips, plays the A-list game, and pitches a “long-distance best friend island” trip concept. 00:00 Morning Welcome Banter01:55 Throwback Song Showdown04:54 Michael Biopic06:52 Caller Boston Truck Talk08:27 Coffee Catch Up Deals12:37 Scandal 14:34 More Or Less18:05 Naughty Church Clip20:26 Small Town News L&P Bottle24:35 Fuel Wheel Setup Kristelle25:59 Spin To Win Five Grand!!!32:42 Coachella Cost Breakdown36:05 Diary Hunt Setup36:55 Rangitoto Trip Rant39:51 Worst School Trips Calls44:24 Guys Roast Girls Habits49:49 Fuel Wheel Near Miss53:46 A Lister List01:00:35 Cockpit Email Prank01:02:19 On Air Swear Apology01:03:00 Best Friend Island Pitch

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast arrives this week with a thorough examination of how Benjamin tries to escape the swirling mess of constant bad news by moving some rocks around. Well, actually the show really hits its stride with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Mazda3 sedan. A surprisingly peppy compact with a design that causes some disagreement between our hosts, the Mazda3 has several positives elements as well as a few red flags. For anyone contemplating a compact car purchase in 2026, this review is a must-hear. Then Sami chimes in with his review of the 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. Armed with a six-speed manual transmission and little else, Sami wonders aloud, whats the big deal with the Taco? He discusses its impressive fuel economy, and its unimpressive stick-shift but comes to a lukewarm conclusion. Finally our hosts tackle a listener question about the Audi five-cylinder turbocharged engine. Thanks for listening!

The EV platform frees up more interior space than any previous C-Class, and the car adds a new multi-source heat pump that heats the cabin twice as fast as combustion models while using roughly half the energy, alongside Vegan Society-certified upholstery, electropneumatic lumbar seats with massage and ventilation, an optional Burmester 4D system with seat exciters, and an optional Sky Control roof with 162 illuminated stars.MUSK COMPANIES PROPPED UP CYBERTRUCK Q4SpaceX purchased 1,279 Cybertrucks in Q4 2025, accounting for nearly 20% of all US Cybertruck registrations in the period, with Musk-owned entities including xAI, The Boring Company, and Neuralink collectively taking 1,339 units out of 7,071 total US registrations. Analysts estimated that without these affiliated-company purchases, Cybertruck registrations would have fallen more than 50% year-over-year, and Musk-linked companies continued buying in early 2026 with 158 units in January and 67 in February.MAZDA6E UK PRICED FROM £38,995Mazda will launch the all-electric Mazda6e in the UK this summer with orders open now, priced from £38,995 for the Takumi trim and £39,995 for the Takumi Plus, featuring a 78kWh LFP battery with up to 348 miles of WLTP range and a 10–80% DC fast charge time of just 24 minutes. Unlike mainland European versions, the UK model gets a single-battery setup, paired with a rear-mounted motor doing 0–62mph in 7.9 seconds, a five-door hatchback body, a 14.6-inch touchscreen, and an augmented reality head-up display.BMW ADDS CONTRACT-FREE PLUG & CHARGE IN GERMANYBMW Group has launched a contract-free Plug & Charge service in Germany, allowing drivers of compatible BMW and MINI EVs to authenticate at public DC charging points simply by plugging in, with billing going directly to the credit card stored on their BMW or MINI account. The first rollout covers over 1,400 charging points across Germany and Austria via partner Mer Germany using Hubject's system, and is the first time Plug & Charge has been extended to drivers without an existing charging contract, including tourists and fleet users.BYD ADDS TWO SHARK 6 VARIANTSBYD has expanded its Shark 6 ute range in Australia from one model to three, adding the Shark 6 Dynamic Cab-Chassis (from A$55,900) and the Shark 6 Performance (from A$62,900) alongside the existing Shark 6 Premium. All variants use BYD's Dual Mode Off-Road plug-in hybrid system combining a turbocharged petrol engine with front and rear electric motors and a Blade battery, with the Performance variant boosting towing capacity to 3,500kg and adding a dedicated Crawl Mode for off-road use.ALLEGO ADDS SMART OVERNIGHT CHARGING IN DUTCH MARKETAllego has launched a smart overnight charging scheme in the Netherlands using Deftpower technology, offering drivers a choice from 6 PM between immediate and smart charging, with the latter shifting sessions to off-peak hours to reduce grid strain during evening peaks. Drivers who opt in receive cashback rewards of up to 5% of charging costs, and Allego plans to expand the model from its initial rollout to around 9,000 charging points in the Netherlands before extending it to Belgium.FUEL SPIKE PUSHES DRIVERS TOWARDS EVSA survey by Electrifying.com of over 1,000 visitors found that more than 70% of non-EV drivers said rising fuel prices — spiked by US-Israel air attacks on Iran and disruption to oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz — are making them more actively consider switching to electric. Electrifying.com founder Ginny Buckley reported a near-50% week-on-week surge in site traffic since the start of the US-Iran conflict, while analyst Tom Barnard noted some used EVs priced under £5,000 can pay for themselves within a few years through fuel savings alone.RIVIAN MAKES FOUR RAN SITES NACS-ONLYRivian has converted four California-based Rivian Adventure Network charging sites to NACS-only, removing CCS1 connectors entirely in a first for the network, a move likely driven by the ramp-up of the R2 and the 2026 R1S and R1T, all of which ship with NACS as standard. Owners of older CCS1 Rivians and other non-NACS EVs will need a NACS-to-CCS1 adapter to use these four sites, with the switch also simplifying site logistics as NACS-equipped Rivians grow in number.HONDA SUPER-N SET FOR UK JULY LAUNCHHonda has revealed the Super-N, an all-electric kei-inspired hatchback measuring 3.4 metres in length, due on sale in the UK from July at under £20,000, directly rivalling the Dacia Spring and Hyundai Inster. Power comes from a compact e-axle producing 47 kW (rising to 70 kW in BOOST Mode), with Honda quoting a UK urban range of 199 miles and a combined range of 128 miles, though battery and charging specifications have not yet been disclosed.MAV SYSTEMS LAUNCHES BAYIQ FOR EV BAYSUK-based MAV Systems has launched BayiQ, an ANPR camera system designed to help parking operators, councils, and transport authorities tackle overstaying, ICEing, and poor turnover at EV charging bays. A single BayiQ unit can monitor multiple adjacent bays simultaneously, unlike conventional ANPR systems that require one camera per bay, reducing installation costs and civil works for operators managing busy charging locations.

Guess what happens when you're in and out of the hospital with your kids over a couple of weeks? You get sick. That's where Lizz at this week. Will she ever get a break? Kelly, on the other hand, is 11 weeks into her sugar-free journey and feeling great! So great that she broke down and bought an American Girl doll. However, it's totally a business expense!  Some quick industry news reveals the Mazda leg room lie that Kelly is investigating. They say that the second row has more room, but by her measurements that might not be entirely true. Did she just uncover a massive conspiracy? Plus, Subaru Outback sales are down and Hyundai has a fix for their power folding seats.  Before their interview this week, Kelly and Lizz NEED to chat about the Coachella weekend. Who did they love watching? What are their thoughts on Justin Bieber's controversial performance? This all leads to a very important conversation: Kelly wants Ella Langley bangs.  Then it's on to a conversation with Wendy Speake, author of "The 40-Day Sugar Fast". She talks about how her sugar-free lent journey led to a movement with thousands of people joining in each year. Plus, what she has learned during her sugar-free journey over the years and how you can get started on yours.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1309: The market cools after a hot start to 2025, the New York Auto Show brings fresh product and EV momentum into focus, and NASA launches humans back toward the moon for the first time in over 50 years.March brought the new car market back down to earth, as high prices, rising gas costs, and more cautious buyers cooled Q1 sales after last year's unusually hot start.Q1 U.S. light-vehicle sales fell 4.3% YoY to 2.78 million units, with many major automakers posting declines.GM dropped 9.6%, with steep losses at Buick and Cadillac, while Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, and BMW also lost ground.Hyundai and Kia were bright spots, both setting first-quarter records as hybrids surged.Stellantis kept its turnaround rolling with a 4.1% gain, helped by Jeep and a 20% jump at Ram, marking its third straight quarterly sales increase.Cox's Jeremy Robb summed up the mood: “Consumers haven't left the market, but they're getting more selective. Every new headline and cost increase makes them more cautious about pulling the trigger on a big-ticket item.”The New York Auto Show is back, bringing a mix of fresh, bold concepts, and future-looking EVs, giving dealers a glimpse at where product, design, and powertrains are heading next.Chrysler refreshed the Pacifica with a bold new look and trims, but notably dropped the plug-in hybrid, while still leaning on its Stow ‘n Go advantage.Kia and Subaru leaned into electrification, with the EV3 targeting ~320 miles of range and the Seltos adding a hybrid for the first time.Subaru's new all-electric, three-row “Getaway” SUV targets growing family demand for EV space and utility, with 300+ miles of range and arrival later this year.Hyundai's rugged Boulder Concept signals a move into true off-road competition, aiming squarely at Bronco and Wrangler territory.The show highlights the trend of more hybrids, more EVs, and more niche vehicles—all designed to give today's cautious buyer a reason to jump back in.NASA just launched humans back toward the moon for the first time in over 50 years, kicking off the Artemis II mission and signaling a major step toward putting astronauts back on the lunar surface.The mission kicked off with a powerful evening launch from Kennedy Space Center, marking the first time since 1972 that astronauts have blasted off on a mission bound for the moon.After launch, the crew will spend a full day testing the Orion spacecraft before committing to the multi-day trip around the moon.The mission won't land on the moon, but will loop around the far side—offering views no human has ever seen directly.This flight is a critical proving ground for future missions, including planned lunar landings and long-term moon operations later this decade.NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said: “This is the opening act… for missions that will send astronauJoin 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/

Ten years ago, INTC's Jeff Braun helped a Japanese carmaker go IMSA racing with a 180-mph diesel prototype. The car was cool. More than 700 lb-ft of torque at 2800 rpm. Gobs of potential.Also: It blew up every five minutes.(An exaggeration, of course. No race car blows up every five minutes, even an underfunded, production-based coal-roller cranking around Daytona. That would be silly.)(It was probably more like ten minutes.)Mazda's diesel Le Mans prototypes of 2014 and 2015 were one of the most admirable, ambitious, and ill-fated efforts in American motorsport. Jeff was on pit wall for the thick of it, helping make those cars faster. Sam is here now, asking questions.This show changes format weekly, because squirrel.
