Shoot us a Text.Episode #1121: We cover the rapid growth in EV charging infrastructure even as EV sales plateau, Tesla's China-only 500+ mile Model 3, and a solar-powered drone that just stayed airborne for 74 hours without a drop of fuel.Show Notes with links:EV sales brace for slump, but charging networks surge ahead with automaker supportDespite challenges in EV sales, the U.S. fast-charging network is rapidly expanding and may actually meet infrastructure goals—whether or not EV adoption keeps pace.The U.S. hit nearly 60,000 fast-charging ports in Q2 and is on track for 19% growth in 2025.Private investment, not government aid, is fueling most of this growth as NEVI funds stall, with new players like Ionna and Mercedes-Benz expanding fastTesla dominates with 54% market share; Electrify America and ChargePoint trail at under 8%.“There will be more choice, more infrastructure and, hopefully, better experiences for EV drivers,” said Loren McDonald, chief analyst at Paren.This comes as U.S. EV registrations rose 4.6% in June, but EV market share slipped to 8.6%—down from 8.8% last year—signaling a stagnant market.Tesla's registrations dropped 6%, while GM surged with Chevrolet up 152% and Cadillac up 87%, showing shifting momentum among major players.Tesla has quietly introduced its longest-range Model 3 to date, the "Model 3 Plus," capable of up to 515 miles—but only for the Chinese market, for now.The 830 km (CLTC-rated) Model 3 Plus uses a more powerful 225 kW motor and LG-supplied lithium-ion batteries.It achieves long range with just a 78.4 kWh battery thanks to efficiency gains, not just capacity.Tesla aims to compete directly with high-range local EVs like the Xiaomi SU7 and is expected to launch the model in China by September with a price just under $38K.“This effectively shatters the 700 km psychological ceiling,” said Shanghai-based analyst Li Wei.Aviation startup Skydweller Aero just pulled off a wild feat: flying a solar-powered drone for 74 hours straight—twice—without touching down or using a drop of fuel.The drone has a wingspan larger than a Boeing 747 and runs solely on solar power and batteries.Its 17,000 solar cells power flight by day and charge 1,400 pounds of onboard batteries to keep flying at night.Recent Navy tests suggest big military potential in anti-piracy, smuggling patrols, and backup GPS missions.Skydweller also has commercial ambitions, including remote internet delivery and environmental monitoring.“There's a lot of money to be made in something that never touches the ground,” the company noted.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Este podcast es el primero de una serie donde haremos un repaso de los coches más bonitos por décadas… Y como sé que algunos diréis: “Eso ya se ha hecho antes” vamos a añadir una cierta dificultad: Elegiremos los más bonitos, entre 15 y 20, que por lógica serán casi todos coupés y además las 3 berlinas más bonitas, un descapotable, un TT y uno que destaque por su aportación estilística… y, como fin de fiesta… ¡El vencedor absoluto! ¿Estás preparado? Comienzo por la década de los 60, porque fue una década prodigiosa. Normalmente usó muchas expresiones como “yo estuve allí”, “probe este coche”, “Fui a la presentación de este modelo” … obviamente, en los coches de hoy no es el caso. Quiero destacar que son coches que descubrí a posteriori y a veces mucho después. Cuando comencé a leer revista regularmente con 12+1 años, en 1973, algunos de esos coches ya eran viejos y los he conocido por maquetas, sobre todo de 1/43 y en algunos casos, mucho después, como clásicos. Así que en muchos casos, puede que los tenga idealizados. Pero para lo que nos atañe es igual, porque en esta colección de videos vamos a hablar de estética y diseño, no de “cómo van”. Y ya directamente, como hay ¡muchos!, casi 30, vamos al lío… ¿Estáis preparados para un Maratón de coches bonitos? Pues comenzamos… Categoría absoluta. AC Shelby Cobra (1962). Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale (1967). Alpine A110 (1963). Aston Martin DB5 (1963). Buick Riviera (1963). Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray (1963). Dino Ferrari GT (1967). Ferrari GTO (1962). Ford Mustang (1965). Iso Rivolta Grifo (1963). Jaguar E (1961). Lamborghini Miura (1966). Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF (1966). Maserati Ghibli (1967). Mercedes Benz 280 SL “Pagoda” (1963). Plymouth Barracuda (1964). Porsche 911 (1964). Toyota 2000 GT (1967). Triumph TR6 (1969). Volvo P 1800 (1961). Llegamos a las Berlinas. Aunque alguno de los coches citados los hubo en versiones berlina, vamos con este apartado exclusivo de coche de 4 puertas. Citroën DS (1955). No, no es un error, se presentó en 1955 pero se vendió hasta 1975 y sus mejores momentos fueron en los años 60. Jaguar XJ6 Series (1968). Este XJ6 en cuyo diseño y definición técnica participó el mismismo Sir Williams Lyons fue un éxito en todos los sentidos. Lincoln Continental (1961). Sí, ya sé que, en este coche, en versión sin techo, fue asesinado el presidente Kennedy. Descapotable. Alfa Romeo Spider “Duetto” (1966). Este coche lo conocí en el cine, en la excelente película de “El graduado” donde compartía protagonismo con el jovencísimo Dustin Hoffman. Todo Terreno. Ford Bronco (1966). Me parece que hay TT muy bonitos, como esta primera generación del Bronco de estética “robusta” y que se acompañaba de un motor V8 de 4.7 litros y 205 CV. Mayor aportación de diseño. Mi idea es que en esta categoría tengamos solo un coche, pero esta vez no he podido resistirme y tenemos dos: Citroën Mehari (1968). Mehari es como se dice “dromedario” en árabe. Este coche reunía las cualidades de sencillez y robustez del mítico 2 CV con la practicidad de una carrocería de inspiración náutica y con un diseño único, agradable y diría que moderno… sencillamente, ¡me encanta! Jeep Wagoneer (1963). Te gusten o no, los SUV han llegado para quedarse. Y aunque el Wagoneer no es realmente el primero, si es el primero que tuvo verdadero éxito. Pretendía re unir las cualidades de robustez y línea rotunda propia de los TT con las comodidades de un turismo. Y lo consiguió… y detrás de él vinieron muchos, muchísimos más… hasta nuestros días.

In this episode of CAREER-VIEW MIRROR, we're celebrating the career to date of Glen Dyer.Glen is currently Managing Director at Iveco Trucks Australia. His career started at NatWest Bank, and he went on to build experience across banking, finance, and the automotive sector—holding key leadership roles at companies including Mercedes-Benz Financial Services in both the UK and Australia.His journey has included everything from frontline sales roles to leading major organisational transformations, including the launch of innovative financial products and the integration of multiple sales divisions across vehicles and finance.He's a leader who has grown through experience—often by learning the hard way—and who now takes huge satisfaction in developing others to thrive in their own roles.In our conversation, we talk about Glen's upbringing in London and his move to Newport Pagnell at age 12, and how his early experiences shaped his sense of identity and resilience.We trace his journey from his early banking roles—where the lack of recognition and rigid hierarchy frustrated him—to the realisation that sales, when approached systematically, could be an empowering path to success.Glen speaks candidly about the tough transition into leadership—being promoted without training, trying to carry the load for his whole team, and burning out in the process. He shares how the loss of his best friend, Paul Davis, at just 30, caused him to step away from work and go travelling for over a year. That time gave him fresh perspective and a renewed sense of purpose.We also talk about his time at Mercedes-Benz—both in the UK and in Australia—where with the support of good leadership and professional development, Glen thrived in roles that played to his strengths and stretched his capabilities.Now, as MD of Iveco Trucks, he continues to lead with authenticity, empowering others to succeed, and finding fulfilment in seeing his teams grow.Connect with GlenLinkedInAbout AndyI'm a business leader, coach, and the creator of the Fulfilling Performance framework—designed to help people bring more of themselves to what they do and experience greater fulfilment and performance as a result.Over the past 25+ years, I've led and developed businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Financial Services in the UK, Singapore, and New Zealand, and Tesla Financial Services UK.

En este video contamos con el apoyo de Planeta DeAgostini… y gracias a ellos, nos vamos a esos tiempos en que los americanos, para hacer un deportivo, partían de un coche de tamaño reducido, para sus parámetros, y le metían un motor “gordo” … pero muy “gordo”, tanto como de 8 cilindros en V y 7.000 cm3. Esta maqueta es una verdadera maravilla… ¡Y no se te olvide poner el código GARAJEHERMETICO! Así nació el Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, un verdadero mito y una idea genial de Carrol Shelby: Meter en el “compacto” Ford Mustang un motor “Big Block” de 7 litros ¿El resultado? Un coche de ensueño, precioso, de 1.500 kg y 360 CV… ¡que han llegado a más de 700 con compresor! A la gente de Planeta DeAgostini les gusta hacer las cosas “a lo grande” y la buena noticia es que este coche puede ser tuyo, en una detallada maqueta de casi 80 cm de largo a escala 1/6. Una maqueta hecha en metal que he podido ver y tocar con mis propias manos con sonido, luces, completamente detallada, con puertas y capós con mecanismos de apertura, con dirección y hasta ¡con mando a distancia! Siempre lo sigo: Disfrutas de esta maqueta sin duda con el resultado final, pero también con la obra editorial que acompaña a la colección, que te va a contar toda la historia y características de este modelo único y, sobre todo, montándola. Y volvemos al asunto, eléctricos vs híbridos… y es que Audi, Bentley, Cadillac, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Toyota, Volkswagen y Volvo, entre otras marcas, retrasan o posponen “sine die” sus planes de electrificación. Mientras los híbridos, especialmente los enchufables, ganan el favor del público… e incluso hay quienes afirman que son más ecológicos que los eléctricos puros. ¡Menudo lio! Que te vamos a aclarar. Muchos “electroheads” estarán pensando “¿quiénes son esos que afirman que los híbridos son más ecológicos que los eléctricos puros?”. Pues marcas tan importantes como Toyota por ejemplo… Algunos de esos “electroheads” me dirán, “¡Hombre Máximo! Ellos son juez y parte”. Y es verdad… como también es verdad que saben mucho, pero mucho de coches. Y las declaraciones de Akio Toyoda, su presidente, no son para echar en saco roto. Ha dicho, literalmente, que: “9 millones de coches eléctricos contaminan tanto como 27 millones de híbridos y por tanto la industria no debería enfocarse únicamente en los vehículos eléctrico”. Vale, señores “electroheads” que no so fiais de Akio Toyoda… hacéis mal, pero ¿os fiais de la American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy? Una entidad independiente norteamericana que se dedica a estudiar qué tipo de energías son más eficientes. En su último estudio afirma que “el coche más ecológico de EEUU no es precisamente eléctrico”, apunta a que es híbrido. Lo hemos dicho siempre en este canal: La emisiones de un coche deben tener en cuenta su uso, pero también su fabricación y reciclaje final. Y en este estudio denominado “Greencars” que mide el ciclo completo de vida de un coche ha dado como vencedor al coche más ecológico vendido en los USA a un híbrido enchufable, al Toyota Prius Prime SE. A esos modelos 100x100 eléctricos les bastan autonomías de como mucho 300/400 km que se consiguen con baterías relativamente pequeñas, de 50 kWh o hasta 75 kWh si aspiramos a algún viaje planificado, que resultan más ligeras y más baratas. Acabo de recoger un coche que responde a estas premisas, un flamante R5 100x100 eléctrico, amarillo, precioso, que va de maravilla y del que os contaré como va con todo lujo de detalles… para mí el arquetipo del eléctrico que interesa. Si vives en una ciudad o cerca, eléctrico. Si vi ves en el campo, lejos de las ciudades y quieres un coche grande e incluso un TT, diésel… y como decía el anuncio de una famosa tarjeta de crédito “para todo lo demás… híbrido”. Lo que sucede es que un buen híbrido enchufable en ciudad es como un eléctrico… eso sí, si te molestas en enchufarlo, ¡claro! Pero además puedes viajar “hasta el infinito y más allá” sin problemas, sin necesidad de programar el viaje de ni largas esperas para cargar. Me parto de la risa cuando veo video de “electroheads” que anuncian a bombo y platillo que se puede viajar sin problemas con un eléctrico porque en cargadores ultrarrápidos de ¡350 kWh! Que le meten un calentón “que pa' qué” a la batería, cargan el 80 por ciento en 15 minutos… Pero luego veo videos donde te cuentan lo que cuestan esas recargas, que pueden llegar a costar más que la gasolina. Y esto nos lleva a otro punto. Sí tienes garaje, en muchos casos un eléctrico puede ser una opción, porque si cargas en casa vas a ahorrar mucho en energía frente a un híbrido y mucho más frente a un coche térmico. Pero de lo contario… yo me lo pensaría.

Join us as we embark on an exhilarating journey through the evolution of automobile design, exploring key moments and iconic designs that have defined each era. We kick off with a look at how the automobile transitioned from a luxurious, aristocratic toy into a practical vehicle for the masses. Industry giants like Mercedes-Benz, who catered to the elite, and Ford, who made cars accessible to the average person, played pivotal roles in this transformation.   Everett J. #autolooks

In this episode of America on the Road, host Jack Nerad and co-host Chris Teague discuss the latest automotive news, including new tax breaks for car buyers, challenges faced by important global automakers, and exciting new vehicle releases from GMC and Mercedes-Benz. They also provide in-depth reviews of the 2025 Kia K4 sedan and the 2025 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance, highlighting their features and performance. In this week's road test segment, host Jack Nerad discovers the 2025 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance to be a breath of fresh air in today's highly homogenized and shrinking sedan market. With a 472-horsepower naturally aspirated V8 under its hood, this unassumingly styled rear-wheel-drive sedan blends old-school performance with modern tech and refinement. Aggressively tuned for back-road thrills yet wrapped in a sleek, understated four-door package, the IS 500 offers a visceral experience, enhanced by high-end features like heated/ventilated sport seats, a Mark Levinson sound system, and a refined tech suite. And you'll never guess the cars Jack Nerad compares it to. Also in the spotlight this week is Chris Teague's test of the all-new 2025 Kia K4, a compact sedan aiming to shake up the segment with bold styling and surprising tech. Replacing the outgoing and under-rated Forte, the K4 pulls into the lot with a surprisingly upscale interior, available turbocharged power, and Kia's latest infotainment platform. Chris dives into how it drives, how it stacks up against rivals like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, and whether Kia has another budget-friendly hit on its hands. This episode's special guest is Anthony Monaco, marketing lead for Ram heavy-duty trucks. Monaco joins the show to discuss exciting and affordable new product updates from Ram, shedding light on where the brand is heading and what consumers can expect from the latest heavy-duty lineup. In the news, a sweeping new federal tax deduction could shake up the auto financing world. Under the “Big, Beautiful Bill” signed by President Trump, qualifying buyers can now deduct up to $10,000 in interest on loans for U.S.-assembled vehicles. The catch? Income caps apply, leases are excluded, and not every car will qualify. The IRS will release a list of eligible models, and VIN documentation will be required. Is it a good idea? We'll have details. Meanwhile, three major global automakers—Stellantis, Porsche, and Jaguar Land Rover—are navigating rocky terrain. Stellantis reported a staggering $2.7 billion loss, tied to new tariffs and slumping sales, while Porsche is slashing costs amid weakening EV demand. JLR, reeling from a 15% sales dip and delayed EV rollouts, is trimming jobs and recalibrating its strategy. Two big product debuts also made headlines. GMC launched the 2026 Acadia Denali Ultimate, pushing deeper into luxury with full-leather interiors, Super Cruise hands-free driving, and a 16-speaker Bose system. At the same time, Mercedes-Benz revealed its next-gen CLA, available first in battery-electric and then hybrid form. The EV variant boasts nearly 500 miles of range and impresively fast charging, while the hybrids promise efficiency and flexibility for mainstream buyers. This episode also highlights the America on the Road Made in America Tour, which showcases vehicles and other products built in the U.S., tying in with new buyer incentives and celebrating American ingenuity and homegrown manufacturing. We close the show with a listener question from Mitchell in Boulder, Colorado, who says, “I want to buy a new car, but I need some help in making the deal. How much should I negotiate off the MSRP on a new car?” Jack and Chris share advice on negotiation strategy, dealer incentives, and the current state of new car pricing.

Watch on YouTube.In this edition of UC Big News, host Kieran Devlin is joined by leading UC analysts Zeus Kerravala and Blair Pleasant to unpack three headline-grabbing stories shaking up the collaboration world. First up, the team shares takeaways from Zoom Perspectives, where Zoom's vision of an AI-powered “Workplace” was more compelling than ever. Then they turn to the reported rift between Microsoft and OpenAI, and what it signals for enterprise AI partnerships.

Technology Reseller News Podcast with Dave Michels, TalkingPointz "AI and automation is really all that anyone cares about right now. And this is a power combination." — Dave Michels, TalkingPointz In this Technology Reseller News podcast, publisher Doug Green speaks with Dave Michels of TalkingPointz to unpack NICE's blockbuster $955 million acquisition of Cognigy, a move that signals a transformative leap in the CX and CCaaS landscape. “This is a landmark moment,” said Michels. “We're watching the CCaaS space redefine itself around CX—and NICE is taking decisive action.” NICE, a global leader in AI-powered customer experience, announced it is acquiring Cognigy, the top enterprise provider of conversational and agentic AI. This acquisition unites NICE's CXone Mpower platform with Cognigy's Cognigy.AI, enabling organizations to orchestrate AI agents across front and back office functions with purpose-built CX AI models. Michels noted that while CCaaS providers have been increasingly positioning themselves under the broader ‘customer experience' banner, this acquisition may be the inflection point. “I've been wondering when the Magic Quadrant would shift from CCaaS to CX. This deal brings us closer.” Cognigy brings with it a blue-chip client list—including Lufthansa, Mercedes-Benz, Swissair, Nestlé, and Puma—and a projected 80% ARR growth in 2026. NICE gains not only powerful technology, but also an elite customer base and a strong European footprint. As for whether the nearly $1 billion price tag was justified, Michels pointed to investor confidence: “NICE gained $500 million in market cap within hours of the announcement. That's Wall Street's endorsement of the deal.” He also predicts that NICE will maintain Cognigy's independence. “To shut down their open ecosystem would be foolhardy. These are complementary solutions—this gives NICE a broader seat at the CX table.” From cultural alignment to AI-first innovation, Michels sees the deal as smart and strategically sound. “Both companies are platform-first. Both are chasing the same strategic vision—and they're better together.” As the contact center market pivots to CX orchestration powered by AI, this acquisition may come to be seen not just as timely, but foundational.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent said he will see US President Trump regarding the China tariff pause on Wednesday and some technical details remain on the China tariff pause, while the China tariff extension decision will be up to Trump and if he does not approve tariff pause extension, tariffs on Chinese goods would 'boomerang' back to April 2nd levels, or another level that he chooses.US President Trump said Chinese President Xi wants to meet and he thinks it will happen before the end of the year, while he stated that they will either approve the trade extension or not. Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Li said the US and China have agreed to extend the trade truce; Bessent said China jumped the gun a little on the 90-day pause.Crude futures surged yesterday amid comments from US President Trump who confirmed changing the deadline for Russia to reach a Ukraine ceasefire agreement to 10 days, while there were simultaneous comments from Treasury Secretary Bessent who told Chinese officials that China could face high tariffs if it continues to purchase sanctioned Russian oil due to US secondary tariff legislation.APAC stocks traded mixed following the subdued handover from Wall St; European equity futures indicate a mildly positive cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.3% after the cash market closed with gains of 0.8% on Tuesday.Looking ahead, highlights include French GDP, Spanish CPI, German GDP & Retail Sales, Italian GDP, ECB Wage Tracker, EZ GDP & Sentiment, US ADP National Employment, GDP Advance (Q2), PCE (Q2), Fed, BoC, BCB Policy Announcements Speakers including Fed Chair Powell, BoC's Macklem & Rogers, Supply from Italy, US Quarterly Treasury Refunding Announcement.Earnings from Hermes, Airbus, Vinci, Danone, Capgemini, HSBC, GSK, Aston Martin, Santander, Caixabank, Telefonica, Intesa Sanpaolo, Leonardo, Mercedes Benz, Siemens Healthineers, BASF, Adidas, Porsche AG, Meta, Microsoft, RobinHood, Carvana, Lam Research, Qualcomm, Ford, Arm, eBay, FMC, Vertiv, Altria, Kraft Heinz, GE Healthcare & VF Corp.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

Today on CarEdge Live, Ray and Zach discuss the latest data from Mercedes-Benz. Tune in to learn more!

Automotive enthusiasts, buckle up for a three-course journey through the cutting edge of electric vehicles, the rarified world of elite car collections, and the rugged charm of an off-road icon reborn.We start by examining Volvo's latest electric offering—the 2025 EX40 Twin Motor Ultra AWD. Built in Belgium on the framework of last year's XC40, this all-electric crossover brings 402 horsepower and advanced pixel headlight technology to the premium EV segment. However, not everything about modern technology improves the driving experience. The EX40's touchscreen-centric control system requires four separate taps just to power down the vehicle—an unnecessarily complex solution to a problem that never existed. Despite these interface frustrations, the EX40 delivers competitive performance against rivals from Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Genesis, though at a premium price point starting at $62,045 for the Ultra trim.We then explore automotive passion at its most extreme with a tour of the world's most impressive car collections. From Dmitry Lomakov's Soviet-era treasures in Moscow to Ken Lingenfelter's performance-focused American muscle cars, these collections represent deep dedication to automotive preservation. The Sheikh of Abu Dhabi specializes in off-road vehicles including a massive Mercedes monster truck, while the Sultan of Brunei reigns supreme with approximately 7,000 vehicles valued at $5 billion—including 600 Rolls-Royces, 450 Ferraris, and numerous one-off custom creations that exist nowhere else.Finally, we take the wheel of the 2024 Land Rover Defender, Slovakia's boxy tribute to off-road capability. With its distinctive silhouette and doors that "shut like an old Norge refrigerator," the Defender combines rugged charm with modern luxuries. The mild-hybrid powertrain delivers 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, propelling this 5,000-pound fortress with surprising efficiency. While the $81,923 as-tested price positions it against premium competitors like the Lexus GX and Jeep Wagoneer, current import tariffs present challenges for Land Rover's supply chain.Whether you're fascinated by electric innovation, dream car collections, or capable off-roaders, join us for these automotive explorations that showcase the breadth and depth of today's automotive landscape.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereJay Butler doesn't just understand troubled operations. He's worked through them at every level. From the production lines of Nissan and Mercedes-Benz and now as a consultant for distressed plants, he has seen what causes operations to fall apart. And the biggest problems don't come from the floor. They come from leadership.Jay starts by sharing how poor leadership decisions create ripple effects that reach all the way to the floor. Holiday shifts that never end. Supervisors are stretched too thin. People burned out from six- and seven-day workweeks, year after year.Operational pressure doesn't just hit the floor; it follows people home. When that pressure builds up for long enough, performance drops, and culture breaks. Jay doesn't blame the people doing the work; he points the finger at the decisions being made at the top.But Jay doesn't frame this as a call for soft leadership. In fact, he's clear: being a good leader means setting expectations, being consistent, and holding people accountable. What doesn't work is enforcing rules that no one follows or only applying them when convenient.You can't expect consistent performance if you don't hold people accountable—or worse, if leadership doesn't model the behavior themselves.Jay recalls workers raising grandkids, struggling to keep up, and barely making it through the week. Leaders might not think that's their responsibility, but Jay argues otherwise. If your policies at work make someone's home life harder, you're responsible for that too.They also revisit accountability, but in a different light. Jan mentions a recent interview with Brad Ring at Webasto, who swapped the word "accountability" for "promise." It's a simple change, but it changes everything. "I promise to get this done" hits differently than "you'll be held accountable."They also talk about tariffs. Jay explains how one political post or policy change can throw an entire manufacturing plan off course. He's seen companies scrap full strategies mid-meeting because of a headline. That level of volatility demands preparation. You can't move production in a week, especially in automotive, but you can plan.This episode is a reminder that the weight of leadership isn't just about decisions. It's about owning your impact. As Jay puts it, you influence more than just metrics—you influence whether someone gets to go home proud or completely drained. That's where operational transformation begins. Not with new systems. Not with floor-level changes. But with better leadership.Themes discussed in this episode:How poor leadership creates burnout and operational breakdowns in manufacturingWhy holding employees accountable without clear standards creates chaos and mistrustWhy operational breakdowns often stem from leadership gaps, not workforce performanceHow Gen Z workers are reshaping expectations for culture in manufacturing plantsHow inconsistent enforcement of rules weakens trust and team accountabilityWhy companies must address culture and accountability before fixing production issuesWhat leaders must do to prepare for tariff changes and global trade uncertaintyFeatured guest: Jay ButlerWhat he does: Jay is the VP of Client Development at Seraph, where he leads management and leadership training, quality improvement, strategic planning, and product...

En este podcast vamos a hablar de técnica… y de dinero. Vamos a hablar de imaginación… y de dinero. Vamos a reflexionar sobre modularidad… y sobre el dinero. Porque las marcas, para desarrollar diferentes motores, hacen “trampas” para ahorrar… ¡Dinero! Entre lo que las marcas hacen “de verdad” y lo que cuentan… hay un largo trecho. Cuantas veces he ido a una presentación y me han vendido la burra de lo mucho que se habían empleado en desarrollar un nuevo motor… que de nuevo no tiene nada. ¿Sabes que es un motor modular? ¡Vamos a explicarlo! Aunque te pueda parecer otra cosa, lo realmente complicado de un motor es desarrollar cada cilindro, especialmente la culata. Una vez que has definido el pistón, la forma de la culata, toda la distribución, la posición de la bujía, etc., pues ya tienes el motor hecho. De hecho, las fabricantes de motores comienzan generalmente con un motor monocilíndricos y luego combinando cilindros, los hacen de 2, 4, 5 o los cilindros que sean. Cierto es que la disposición influye y que unos cilindros, cobre todo las vibraciones y las inercias de los pistones, interaccionan unos con otros. Pero no es menos cierto que una vez que has diseñado, por ejemplo, un motor de 4 cilindros, hacer uno de 3 es sencillo: Quitas uno y añades unos árboles de equilibrado. Y hacer un de 5, más sencillo, añades un cilindro. O hacer un V8, que combinas dos bancadas de 4 en V a 90 grados y ya lo tienes hecho. Como os decía al comenzar, ¿cuál es la mayor ventaja de este sistema? Pues que ahorras mucho, mucho dinero. Por eso es un procedimiento que se usaba antes… y se sigue usando ahora. Vamos a ver 10 ejemplo… y un Bonus Track.. 1. Aston Martin Project 003. La marca inglesa ha anunciado un futuro motor V6 con turbo y alrededor de 3 litros que obviamente sería menos potente que su V12 de 5,2 litros biturbo que alcanza y supera los 700 CV, pero que podría alcanzar incluso 450 con menos peso y tamaño. 2. Audi Quattro: Con 5 cilindros. Sencillamente Audi necesitaba más potencia y necesitaba motores para colocarlos en sus coches de tracción delantera, sin que hubiese que hacer cambios. Así que partiendo de la base del motor 4 cilindros de 1,6/1,8 litros añadió otro más. 3. Audi: V6 y V6+2. Audi le fue bien y siguió por ese camino, pero pasándose a los motores en V que tienen ventajas de compacidad… y que pueden llegar a los 8 cilindros. 4. BMW de 3, 4 y 6 cilindros. En 2014, BMW presento su familia modular que comprendía desde motores de 3 cilindros y 1.5 litros a motores de 6 cilindros y 3 litros. Como veis y como veremos, la cilindrada unitaria de unos 500 cm3 en una buena idea y muchos motores parte de esa premisa. 5. Bugatti W16: La suma de dos V8. Son dos motores V6 de “V estrecha” con dos cilindros más para hacerlos V8 y colocados juntos. Un lío, pero si quieres 1.001 CV hay que complicarse un poco la vida… aunque no harían falta tantos cilindros. 5. Ferrari y Alfa Romeo: ¿V8 o V6? Quizás uno de los mejores ejemplos de motor modular es la familia de motores Ferrari de clave F154 que usan Alfa Romeo, Maserati y la propia Ferrari. 7. Mercedes FAME: 4, 6 u 8, a elegir. Mercedes-Benz ha creado su propia familia de motores que denomina FAME que viene de “Family of Modular Engines”. Es de las más amplias. 8. VW de “V estrecha”, VR5 y VR6. En VW se inspiraron en un motor extraño, el V4 de Lancia con una V de un poquito menos de 13 grados, lo que permitía hacer un motor muy compacto. De hecho, hicieron un V6 a 15 grados muy compacto. 9. Renault tipo N: ¿4 o 5? En realidad, es un motor de origen Volvo denominado N7Q cuando es de 4 cilindros y N7U cuando es de 5 cilindros. Se ofrece con cilindradas de 1948 cm3 a 2.435 cm3 y potencias de 136 a 165 CV. 10. Volvo E Drive: ¡Desde 2 cilindros! Volvo diseño a finales de los años 2010 una familia de motores modulares que, según ellos, podían usarse de 2 a 6 cilindros. De momento sirvió para que Volvo utilizase por primea vez un tricilíndrico de 1,5 litros en su XC40 anunciando unos consumos ajustadísimos. Bonus Track. Porsche 968: Medio V8. Lo de los motores modulares, aunque al principio la idea no fuese esa, no es cosa nueva. No os fieis de la IA´s… al menos de momento. Según ellas el Porsche 944 legó a llevar un motor 4 cilindros de 3 litros. Falso. Lo cierto es que el Porsche 924, un diseño de Porsche para VW, lo recompró la propia marca y lo vendió con motor VW. El coche sabía a poco. Luego lanzaron el 944 con motor de 2.5 litros y que recurrió al turbo. Y por fin, encontraron una solución. Tenían el excelente motor V8 del 928, diseñado por Porsche desde cero y que era una verdadera joya que llegó a alcanzar los 5,4 litros. Y alguien pensó: ¿Y si utilizamos medio motor V8? Dicho y hecho, subieron la cilindrada unitaria hasta los 750 cm3 y montaron arboles de equilibrado. Otra joya, que conozco bien, y que alcanzaba los 250 CV. Conclusión. La cierto es que cuando se hacen las cosas bien, los motores modulares son buenos para el fabricante y buenos para los consumidores… lo que sucede es que a veces los ahorros excesivos repercuten en la calidad… que es lo que ha pasado, por ejemplo, a alguna que otra empresa, como la que comienza por Ja y acaba por ar, o la que comienza por Ste y acaba en tis… y no quiero decir nombres.

La Citroën C15 es un mito… pero es de los pocos vehículos que ha conseguido ser un mito “en vida”, cuando aún podías ir a un concesionario y comprarla… algo raro, poco habitual y reservado a las verdaderas leyendas. El Berlingo nació para sustituir a la C15, pero convivió con ella ¡nada menos que 9 años! ¿Es que acaso no tenía argumentos para “reemplazar” a la C15? ¿O es que la leyenda de la C15 superaba la realidad? Vamos a verlo. Que me gustan las furgonetas es algo que nunca he ocultado. Como decía mi gran amigo, tristemente desaparecido, Ramón Roca, este tipo de vehículos ha hecho más por el hombre, por facilitar nuestra vida, que los grandes, lujoso y exóticos deportivos. Y hoy os traemos un verdadero mito: La C15, o mejor dos, porque para mí la Berlingo, también lo es… Citroën ya sabía de esto, de diseñar las entonces llamadas “derivadas”; furgonetas que tomaban la parte delantera de un turismo, modestos por lo general, con una trasera putamente de furgoneta. La primera furgoneta de este tipo sobre base del 2CV se comenzó a vender en 1951… Es decir, que cuando apareció la C15 en 1984 Citroën llevaba fabricando este tipo de furgonetas 33 años… algo sabría del tema. Y ese quedó demostrado, pues la verdad es que la C15, basada en el Visa, les salió “redonda”. No nos engañemos, la C15 nunca fue bonita… Entonces ¿cuál era su encantó? Pues que la C15 era sólida, no tenía ruidos ni crujidos ni a plena carga, su chasis y su chapa eran durísimos, verás pocas o ninguna oxidada. Esto en cuanto a la carrocería. En cuanto al motor… más de lo mismo. Para comenzar, ya era una novedad que montase un motor Diesel. La versión inicial de 1.769 cm3 y 60 CV era duro como una roca y gastaba poquísimo. Y como colofón, su mantenimiento era muy reducido. Además de todas estas cualidades era amplia, capaz incluso para 6 pasajeros, 4 detrás, aunque la mixta siempre se homologo para 5 y cómoda. Respondía a esa idea de vehículo ideal para el trabajo entre semana que, con una buena limpieza, era perfecto como coche familiar… A mediados de los 90, Citroën comienza a pensar en sustituir a la ya veterana, aunque aún exitosa, Citroën C15. En este segmento llegan o anuncian su inminente llegada muchas marcas antes ausentes, como Fiat, Opel, Mercedes-Benz o VW. Por otra parte, Citroën ya trabaja casi siempre de forma conjunta con Peugeot… a veces dirigida por Peugeot, para bien y para mal. Peugeot había trabajado conjuntamente con Fiat para hacer furgonetas medianas y grandes. Y al Visa, de alguna manera, le sustituye el AX, un coche excelente, pero no se me ocurre una base peor para una furgoneta derivada que este modelo, más pequeño y ligero que el Visa, pero quizás no tan robusto pensando en semejante uso. Así que deciden abordar desde cero el diseño de una furgoneta ligera, pequeña y nacida ya como furgoneta, no como derivado de nada. Citroën y Peugeot se ponen manos a la obra y en 1996 en España se comienza a vender el Berlingo, como modelo para relevar a la C15. Muchas veces se dice que el público español no estaba preparado para un sustituto de la C15. Puede que sea cierto. La primera prueba que publiqué como periodista fue la de la Citroën C15. Y la primera prueba que se publicó en España del Berlingo la escribí yo tras hacer muchos kilómetros por todo tipo de vías con y sin carga. He titulado este video “derribando mitos” y ha llegado el momento de hacerlo: El Berlingo era mejor en todo que la C15. En todo. En vez de por fuera o en vez de contar como va, voy a comenzar por el interior. Porque según me dieron el Berlingo y me subí, me pareció casi lujoso, desde luego diría que lujoso comparado con la C15. La calidad percibida de los plásticos, su aspecto, el confort de los asientos, incluso su tamaño, estaban a otro nivel. Desde luego Citroën se había empeñado en “dignificar” las furgonetas y con el Berlingo, dio en diana. Del Berlingo me impresionó su comportamiento que, os vais a reír, me pareció, en vacío o a media carga, casi deportivo. Los tarados más bien duros pensados para la carga, sumados a la mayor anchura de vías, hacían que el Berlingo, comparado a la C15, pareciese un vehículos mucho más ágil y estable… y es que lo era. El equipo de Citroën tenía un reto: Diseñar algo parecido a la C15, pero más moderno y aerodinámico, que no supusiera una ruptura con el C15. Y en mi opinión, lo consiguieron. A pesar de ofrecerse el Berlingo muchos compradores preferían la “honesta” y fiable C15 en vez del nuevo Berlingo. Esto supuso una sorpresa para Citroën, que en ningún momento pensó que ambas furgonetas iban a convivir, en concreto en el mercado español, entre 1996, que se lanzó el Berlingo, y el 2005, que dejó de fabricarse la C15.

El gobierno de Keir Starmer eliminó en abril de este año el régimen de no domiciliados o “non doms”, un estatus fiscal que permitía a extranjeros residentes en el Reino Unido tributar sólo por los ingresos generados en el país, eximiendo así todo lo que ganasen en el extranjero. El sistema tenía más de dos siglos de antigüedad, pero Starmer se las está viendo negras para cuadrar el presupuesto. La deuda pública es muy elevada, las infraestructuras se encuentran deterioradas y los problemas del sistema sanitario se acumulan. Con esto pretendía recaudar 35.000 millones de libras de aquí a 2030. Pero no está sucediendo eso. El fin del régimen non dom ha desencadenado un éxodo de millonarios, lo que hace sospechar a muchos que esta medida quizá termine costando dinero al Estado. El régimen en cuestión fue creado en 1799 por William Pitt el Joven durante las guerras napoleónicas. Buscaba atraer millonarios para financiar el esfuerzo bélico. Con el tiempo se convirtió en una herramienta para posicionar a Londres como un gran centro financiero que atraía a comerciantes, banqueros y empresarios de las colonias del imperio británico. Ya en el siglo XX se empleó para que navieros griegos, banqueros franceses, industriales alemanes, jeques árabes y oligarcas rusos se estableciesen en Londres. En tanto que siempre se trataba de gente muy rica, realizaban elevados gastos en la ciudad, por lo que la Hacienda británica se beneficiaba de forma indirecta. La eliminación de este régimen viene a recordarnos la dificultad de subir los impuestos a los muy ricos, quienes, gracias a su movilidad y recursos, pueden mudarse a jurisdicciones con impuestos más benignos como Dubái, Suiza, Mónaco o Singapur. Estos lugares ofrecen grandes incentivos fiscales como el pago anual de una cantidad fija sin que tengan que declarar los ingresos que realizan en el extranjero. A cambio, estos millonarios se mudan y efectúan buena parte de sus gastos en su lugar de residencia. Londres, con su atractivo estilo de vida (mansiones, apartamentos caros, clubes, restaurantes), creía que retendría a estos millonarios, pero a la vista está que muchos valoran más su dinero que el lugar donde viven. Cuando el Gobierno de Rishi Sunak anunció el año pasado que pondría fin a ese régimen se realizaron algunos cálculos. Estimaban que entre un 10 y un 12% de los 74.000 non-doms que actualmente viven en el país se iban a marchar, pero están siendo muchos más y algunos temen que se terminen largando no menos de la mitad. Esto preocupa en el Gobierno, ya que, aunque no pagaban impuestos por sus ingresos en el extranjero, contribuían con IVA, tasas locales, impuestos especiales y transmisiones inmobiliarias. El impacto económico ya se está dejando sentir: las ventas de propiedades de más de 7 millones de libras han caído un 40%, su precio, de hecho, está ya más bajo que hace diez años, y las ventas de marcas de automóviles de gama alta como Mercedes Benz han disminuido un 9%. Negocios de lujo, colegios de élite y boutiques también han visto bajar su facturación. Entretanto, otros países europeos como Italia y Portugal se han decidido a atraer a estos millonarios ofreciéndoles acuerdos fiscales muy favorables. En un par de años sabremos cuántos se han ido y cuánto le ha costado al Estado dar este paso, pero por de pronto todo indica que el Reino Unido perderá más de lo que ganará.
