For over 25 years, Alan has designed and delivered high-impact keynotes for organizations, including Google, Marriott, Verizon, Mercedes-Benz, Kaiser-Permanente, Citibank, and Lockheed Martin. In this episode… With the speed of innovation, businesses often fall into the trap of relying on what they already know. While past expertise can bring incremental improvements, it rarely sparks the kind of breakthroughs that transform industries. How can companies avoid getting stuck in the comfort of their knowledge and uncover fresh ideas to stay relevant? Innovation expert Alan Gregerman encourages brands to embrace enlightened ignorance, a mindset that values curiosity, humility, and openness to the unknown. Outsiders often disrupt industries because they see problems without being blinded by past experiences. Alan also emphasizes the importance of balancing iteration with innovation, continually raising the bar for customer expectations, and finding creative ways to differentiate in increasingly competitive markets. He pushes leaders to reevaluate their expertise and adopt a mindset of constant learning. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris chats with Alan Gregerman, President and Chief Innovation Officer at VENTURE WORKS Inc, about how enlightened ignorance can catalyze innovation. Alan discusses why outsiders often spark breakthroughs, how businesses can balance iteration with bold innovation, and why raising customer expectations is crucial to long-term growth.
The new 2.5-liter F1 of 1954 raised the bar for engineering excellence and cost of entry to the pinnacle of motor racing. With Mercedes-Benz leaving the shadows of WWII and becoming an accepted participant in motor racing again, the Grand Prix community had to anticipate a full-out effort of a new generation of Silver Arrows. Indeed, new standards were set with a series of W196 variants born out of vast corporate resources, supported by component suppliers like Continental, Bosch, and Esso. In this story, the imaginary Italian “Unione Automobili,” previously formed of national legacy manufacturers other than Fiat, takes on the role of the Auto Union AG of the 1930s as an antagonist of Mercedes-Benz and promoter of the mid-engine layout. A probabilistic SWAT analysis reveals what it will take to beat the mighty opponent from Stuttgart. This is the start for a motley crew of Austrian and Italian engineers lead by Robert Eberan-Eberhorst to create a victorious challenger. The prescribed engine configuration is a compact V6 in homage to the Lancia brand. Breaking with Italian traditions, emphasis is put on chassis development where innovations in tires, brakes, and aerodynamics will provide decisive competitive advantages. Dr. Karl-Heinz Mertins (“K-H”) holds degrees in mechanical engineering and a doctorate in mechatronics/ag engineering from the Technical University Berlin, Germany. In more than 35 years of engineering and business experience in Europe and the US, he focused on product innovation and new business incubation, applying cross-disciplinary methods with cross-cultural considerations. His work included experimental work on intelligent mobile equipment and wind energy systems in multinational corporations and start-ups. His enthusiasm for F1 goes back to the 1961 season. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 The Challenge of Beating Mercedes-Benz 03:01 Mercedes-Benz's Post-War Comeback; The 300 SL and the Marshall Plan 08:59 The Shift to Mid-Engine Layout 12:28 The Italian Engineering Dream Team 18:45 Mercedes-Benz's Methodical Development 26:43 Lessons from the 300 SL 29:04 Chassis Design, Radial Tires, Space Frame and Aviation Influence 33:26 Innovative Suspension Systems 38:39 Brakes and Aerodynamic Innovations 40:43 Driver Position and Engine Choices 47:20 Fuel Injection and Aerodynamics 50:29 Concluding Thoughts and Acknowledgements ==================== 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: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ 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.
¿Mercedes usando motores BMW? ¡Sacrilegio!, ¡Traición! Pero… ¿y si os dijera que esta "traición" no es la primera vez que la hace Mercedes? ¿Y si os dijera que es una de las prácticas más antiguas en el mundo del motor? Como de costumbre, mi objetivo es sorprenderos. Hoy en Garaje Hermético vamos a descubrir alianzas impensables y coches legendarios o casi cuyo “corazón” es prestado… La noticia ha corrido como la pólvora: Mercedes-Benz podría empezar a usar motores de cuatro cilindros de BMW a partir de 2027. Antes de que los más puristas os se vayáis a las puertas de Stuttgart a manifestaros, ,hay que entender el por qué. Desarrollar un motor desde cero es una de las inversiones más costosas a las que se enfrenta un fabricante. Hablamos de cientos, a veces miles de millones de euros en investigación, desarrollo, pruebas, utillaje para las fábricas y, sobre todo, en superar las cada vez más estrictas normativas anticontaminación. En un mundo que supuestamente va hacia lo eléctrico, invertir una fortuna en un nuevo motor de combustión que tiene fecha de caducidad es una apuesta muy arriesgada. Por eso, las sinergias, las colaboraciones y las alianzas estratégicas están a la orden del día. A veces es por pura supervivencia, otras por acceder a una tecnología que no se posee, y en ocasiones, simplemente, porque otra marca ya ha fabricado el motor perfecto que necesitas. Mercedes-BMW (2027). El rumor que ha desatado este guion apunta a un futuro muy cercano. A partir de 2027, se espera que Mercedes utilice motores de cuatro cilindros de origen BMW. Mercedes-Renault (2012). Esta colaboración es el ejemplo perfecto de la estrategia moderna. Con la llegada de la tercera generación del Clase A (W176), Mercedes necesitaba un motor diésel pequeño y muy eficiente. Mitsubishi Lancer TDi (2007). Si te hablo de Lancer enseguida tu mente se va a los Rallyes… pero Mitsubishi necesitaba un motor diésel de 2 litros para ser competitiva en Europa con su nueva generación del Lancer. Y en lugar de desarrollar uno propio, recurrió al proveedor por excelencia de la época: Volkswagen. Chrysler Sebring-VW (2007). A mediados de los 2000, el mercado europeo demandaba berlinas diésel. Chrysler, que por entonces formaba parte de DaimlerChrysler, no tenía un motor de gasóleo competitivo de 2 litros. La solución fue fácil y directa: comprarle a Volkswagen su archiconocido motor 2.0 TDi de 140 CV. Lotus-Toyota (2004). Lotus es la quintaesencia del chasis perfecto y la ligereza, pero la fiabilidad no siempre fue su fuerte y nunca fabricó motores. Con la llegada del Elise 111R, la marca británica tomó una de sus mejores decisiones: usar el motor 2ZZ-GE de Toyota. Lamborghini Gallardo-Audi (2003). Un Audi R8 vestido de gala. Aquí entramos en sinergias de grupo, pero no deja de ser chocante para los más puristas. Koenigsegg CC8S-Ford (2002). La exclusiva marca sueca recurrió a un V8 muy "plebeyo" de Ford. Mercedes Vito VR6 (1996). Esta es una de esas colaboraciones que rompen todos los esquemas. A mediados de los 90, Mercedes necesitaba un motor de gasolina potente y refinado para el tope de gama de su nueva furgoneta, la Vito 280 de la serie W638. Aston Martin DB7 “by Jaguar” (1994). El Aston Martin DB7 salvó a la marca de la quiebra en los 90. Era precioso, elegante... y un puzle de piezas de otras marcas. Su plataforma derivaba del Jaguar XJS y su motor de seis cilindros en línea era una evolución de un bloque de Jaguar, convenientemente sobrealimentado por un compresor. McLaren-BMW F1 (1992). Para muchos, el mejor superdeportivo de todos los tiempos. Pero Gordon Murray no tenía motor. Llamó a la puerta de Honda y no le “abrieron”. ¿La solución? Acudió a BMW M y el resultado fue el legendario S70/2, un V12 de 6.1 litros y 627 CV que es una obra de arte de la ingeniería. Mercedes 500 E "Made by Porsche" (1990). E incluido este coche para mostraros que los chicos de Mercedes son muy “promiscuos”. A principios de los 90, Mercedes quería competir con el BMW M5. Tenían el motor V8 perfecto, pero no cabía en la línea de montaje de su berlina, el W124. ¿A quién le pides ayuda cuando tienes un problema de ingeniería en Stuttgart? ¡Pues a tu vecino, Porsche!
In this week's episode of America on the Road, host Jack Nerad takes a close look at the 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited and walks away thoroughly impressed. This top-tier Elantra hybrid doesn't try to reinvent the compact sedan, but it delivers a balanced blend of premium features, smooth handling, and outstanding efficiency. With a 50 MPG combined rating, dual 10.25-inch digital screens, ventilated front seats, and Hyundai's full suite of advanced safety tech, all for just over $30,000, the stunning hybrid punches well above its class. The dual-clutch transmission offers a more engaging drive than typical hybrids, and the sharp styling gives it a confident, upscale look. It begs the question: Is this the best-value hybrid sedan you can buy? Also in this episode, co-host Chris Teague takes the 2026 Nissan Rogue Platinum out for a week-long spin to see what the top-trim version of the popular compact SUV brings to the asphalt. The answer is: quite a lot. From quilted leather seats and a panoramic moonroof to an intuitive Google-powered infotainment system and advanced ProPILOT Assist 2.1 semi-autonomous tech, this SUV makes a case for itself as a true luxury-lite option. Its overachieving 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder puts out 201 horsepower, while delivering laudable fuel economy. Comfort and convenience are clearly the priorities, with wireless smartphone integration, a premium Bose sound system, and clever cargo solutions among its bag of tricks. But is the Rogue Platinum a high-end bargain or just an over-equipped, over-priced niche vehicle? We'll share our thoughts. This week's special guest is car-builder, DIY expert, and Quaker State influencer Anatalia Villaranda. Known for her energetic presence and hands-on knowledge, Villaranda talks about how she got into cars, her favorite builds, and what it takes to grow a garage-based brand in today's automotive landscape. Whether you're into turning wrenches or just watching builds online, her passion and insights bring a fresh voice to the enthusiast community. Auto News This Week In the news, Tesla's EV market share is slipping, dropping to just 38% in August, its lowest since 2017. With rivals like Hyundai, Toyota, and Volkswagen gaining ground in the EV space through aggressive pricing and fresher lineups, Tesla's once-untouchable lead looks anything but secure. It's a wake-up call for a company that's been slow to refresh its core models while its CEO's attention has drifted elsewhere. Things aren't especially rosy at Ford either. The giant automaker is recalling over 1.5 million vehicles due to defective rear-view cameras that can display blank or distorted images. Affected models span from Mustangs to F-Series trucks, and some units even had cameras supplied by Magna that are now part of a separate, broader recall. It's the latest in a long string of issues that have made Ford the recall leader this year. Mercedes-Benz has completed an historic 749-mile drive from Germany to Sweden using solid-state battery tech. Using lithium-metal cells developed with Factorial Energy, the test highlights how this next-gen battery format could radically improve EV range, performance, and durability. The brand says it aims to bring this breakthrough to production by decade's end. Lexus has unveiled the 2026 IS 350, giving its compact sports sedan a sharper new design, more tech, and upgraded materials. With F Sport trims, forged bamboo accents, and an available 17-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, Lexus is hoping to keep performance-sedan lovers from switching brands. A 311-horsepower V6 and retuned suspension aim to keep things fun behind the wheel. But where's the V8, Chris and Jack ask. In additional Lexus news, Toyota will consolidate Lexus production in Indiana, shifting ES sedan production out of Kentucky in response to tariffs and changing market demands. Some high-end models will return to Japanese factories,

Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we welcome back Joseph Michelli, a certified customer experience professional, New York Times and Wall Street Journal #1 bestselling author, and internationally sought-after keynote speaker. Known for his books on iconic brands such as The Ritz-Carlton, Mercedes-Benz, Starbucks, Zappos, and Airbnb, Joseph brings decades of insight on how leaders and frontline teams can elevate human experiences.We dive into his latest book, All Business Is Personal: One Medical's Human-Centered, Technology-Powered Approach to Customer Engagement. Joseph highlights how One Medical—now part of Amazon—revolutionized healthcare delivery by combining AI and digital convenience with deeply personal human connections. He explains how technology can remove inefficiencies, like long waits and scheduling frustrations, while still keeping care human-centered. His insights underscore the importance of balancing automation with empathy—especially as industries increasingly adopt AI.On the topic of patient comfort with digital healthcare, Joseph notes the learning curve. While technology can enhance convenience, it must never replace the human connection where it matters most. He shares examples of how One Medical redesigned workflows so patients were seen promptly, providers spent less time on charts, and the overall experience felt more personal, not less. The takeaway: technology should enable more meaningful human interactions, not eliminate them.Looking ahead to 2026, Joseph outlines three key priorities for CX leaders:AI-readiness – Organizations must understand how AI is influencing customer interactions and ensure their brand is positioned effectively in AI-driven recommendations.Convenience and hyper-personalization – Customers expect seamless, tailored experiences; tone-deaf or generic messaging erodes loyalty.Human-empowered service – Well-trained, emotionally intelligent employees remain essential for delivering authentic, personalized experiences.Joseph also shares exciting news: the launch of a fully online Master's Degree in Customer Experience at Campbellsville University. This program equips professionals with academic and practical tools—from persona-based journey mapping to ecosystem design—to advance CX as a business-driving discipline.When discussing the core competencies for CX representatives, Joseph emphasizes emotional intelligence as the foundation. Empathy, self-awareness, managing emotions, and understanding what customers should feel in every interaction are crucial across all industries. Leaders, meanwhile, must also master influence, persistence, vision, and the ability to deliver measurable business outcomes.Joseph closes with a guiding philosophy he leans on during challenges: “Service serves us.” By focusing on creating value for others, we in turn are enriched. Yet he also reminds us that service must be balanced with self-respect—serving up to the point where we are valued, not devalued.This rich conversation covers Joseph's career journey, the evolving role of AI, the future of CX leadership, and the enduring importance of empathy in business. Don't miss this chance to learn from one of the leading voices in customer experience.Links Mentioned:All Business Is Personal: One Medical's Human-Centered, Technology-Powered Approach to Customer Engagement by Joseph A.

Could Kelly be a Powerball winner? There was a winning ticket sold in Missouri and Tyler won't let her know if he has that ticket in his pocket. Will winning that money change her? You might not know if they won but there will be signs... like a 10 car garage. The Lions lost their first game of the season, but it wasn't all in vain. It helped Kelly remember just how fun watching football can be and now she has added all the games to her calendar to make it official. Now they just need to get Lizz on board... Speaking of Lizz, she's feeling like she is in her ugly era or as many of us refer to it as "That Time of the Month." It's led her to wonder why we ever got rid of moon lodges and she may be on to something. Both Kelly and Lizz came to the show with a base model luxury that has changed their life recently. First, Kelly bought some black wash cloths that have changed the game when it comes to makeup removal. Then, Lizz is exploring flavored whipped creams that have changed her coffee experience. In Industry News, Mercedes Benz are working on making their G-class vehicles convertibles. Elon Musk might be the world's first trillionaire if he takes the incentive package Tesla is currently offering him. Finally, GM electric vehicles are really giving everyone else a run for their money. Today's episode is brought to you by Clean Simple Eats.

Nazi Germany turned the automobile's high speed into a propaganda tool for its technical and industrial supremacy. With its domestic motor industry having fallen behind the US and France, the political establishment pushed for dominance in Grand Prix racing, launched an automobile for the masses, and developed a wide network of motorways. Connecting racing cars, high speed, and the motorways was the Rekordwoche, an annual event launched in 1936 to conquer the highest speeds on a motorway. The last edition in 1939 was a relatively low-key event, shadowed by the prior year's sensational Mercedes-Benz speed record and Bernd Rosemeyer's death. Nevertheless, the propaganda machine aptly broadcast the speeds reached on an arrow-straight, level and wide 10 km motorway stretch north of Leipzig, purpose-built for the Rekordwochen and the conquest of the World Land Speed Record by a German driver on a German car on German soil. Aldo Zana is an Italian motor historian and journalist. He started writing articles for motor magazines in the mid-sixties as a freelance editor of Autosprint and Rombo weeklies, developing an inclination towards history and historic cars and races. Since the late Eighties, he has become a regular contributor to Italian and foreign historic car magazines; his recent automotive books include a history of the Sports-Prototype FIA World Championship; the lives and races of Italian drivers; the motor racing scenario of the Fifties; and the story of the forgotten Milano car shows 1901-1947. Zana is a long-time member of SAH and Aisa (Italian Association of Motor Historians), former member of the History and Museum Commission of ASI (Italian National Historic Car and Bike Association) and Ugis, the Italian guild of science journalists. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Nazi Germany's Speed Propaganda 01:17 Overview of Record Weeks (1936-1938) 03:04 The 1939 Record Week 04:50 Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union Rivalry 06:14 The Final Record Week 15:07 Mysteries and Technical Details 19:46 Conclusion and Q&A; Closing Remarks 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: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ 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.
Das geplante Verbrenner-Aus im Jahr 2035 kommt zu früh. Ola Källenius, CEO von Mercedes-Benz, drängt im Gespräch mit Julia Fiedler vom China.Table auf eine Verschiebung: „Wir sind voll committed und motiviert, um Elektromobilität erfolgreich zu machen.“ Källenius hält die EU-weiten Verbrenner-Aus-Ziele für zu starr und die Zeitspanne für zu kurz: „Neun Jahre sind zeitlich in der Autoindustrie fast gar nichts. Das ist quasi ein Produktlebenszyklus.“[13:18]Die Debatte um den Sozialstaat zwischen Union und SPD dauert an. Es geht vor allem um die Ausgestaltung des Bürgergelds.

Viele Anleger setzen auf Aktien, die günstig bewertet scheinen – mit niedrigem KGV, solider Dividende und auffälliger Kursdynamik. Doch oft handelt es sich um klassische Zykliker: Unternehmen, deren Kurse in weiten Schwankungen verlaufen, ohne langfristig substanziellen Wertzuwachs zu erzielen. Der Podcast beleuchtet, warum solche Aktien trotz „attraktiver“ Kennzahlen häufig enttäuschen. Die Ursache liegt meist in zyklischen Geschäftsmodellen, die stark von wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen abhängen. Während sie in Aufschwungphasen stark steigen können, fallen sie in Abschwüngen ebenso deutlich – oft ohne klare Richtung über viele Jahre hinweg. Anhand von Beispielen wie Lufthansa, Deutz oder Mercedes-Benz wird deutlich, woran sich extreme Zykliker erkennen lassen: hohe Volatilität, schwankende Margen und wenig verlässliche Cashflows. Dem gegenüber stehen strukturstarke Unternehmen wie Visa – mit stabiler Gewinnentwicklung, konstanter Nachfrage und deutlich geringerem Kursrisiko. Der Podcast vermittelt:– Welche typischen Merkmale zyklische Aktien auszeichnen– Warum klassische Bewertungsmaßstäbe bei Zyklikern oft trügen– Welche Rolle Geschäftsmodell, Kapitalrendite und Volatilität für die langfristige Anlageentscheidung spielen– Wie eine klare Unterscheidung zwischen Qualitätstiteln und zyklischen Werten zur Depotstabilität beiträgt Inhaltsverzeichnis00:00 Intro01:04 Beispiel: Visa01:34 Fehler bei Bewertungsmaßstäben03:01 Beispiel: Mercedes Benz03:43 Beispiel: Lufthansa04:52 Beispiel: Deutz05:51 Börsen-Kompass Einblick06:53 Danke fürs Einschalten!

There is no such thing as affordable housing. It always turns into a scheme to take your tax dollars. The most recent example is a housing project in Jackson. Millions of your dollars were spent to build a big building that private companies are benefiting from.

Het Europese verkoopverbod voor auto's met een verbrandingsmotor per 2035 is volgens de baas van BMW 'een grote fout'. Olivier Zipse, de topman van BMW, laat zich in verschillende interviews scherp uit over het verkoopverbod. Hij vindt dat de EU 'een grote fout' maakt en op de vraag of het verbod standhoudt, antwoordt hij: 'De kans dat deze plannen in de huidige vorm worden uitgevoerd, is uiterst klein.' BMW onthult vandaag de Neue Klasse, een volledig nieuwe elektrische modelserie. Verder in de auto-update: Fabriek Jaguar Land Rover nog zeker tot dinsdag dicht na een cyberaanval. De nieuwe elektrische Porsche Cayenne kan draadloos opladen. Mercedes-Benz kondigt de terugkeer van de G-Klasse Cabriolet aan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In “How Humanoid Robots are Shaping the Future of Logistics”, Joe Lynch and Parker Conroy, Head of Product at Apptronik, discuss how Apollo, a human-centered, AI-powered humanoid robot, is set to transform the industry by working alongside humans to fill labor gaps and perform a wide range of tasks in a safe and efficient manner. About Parker Conroy Parker Conroy is the Head of Product at Apptronik, a leading developer of humanoid robots. Conroy has worked in robotics for more than a decade, guiding product management teams to design and deploy thousands of industrial robotic arms, autonomous mobile robots, drones, and now, humanoid robots. Prior to Apptronik, he was Director of Robotics Product Development at Verizon, where he led product management and robotics strategy in 5G and multi-access edge computing. Conroy previously spent five-plus years leading mobile robotics development at Omron Robotics and Safety. His graduate research focused on optimal control of UAV swarms, which led him directly into developing teams that designed the features of one of the first industrial autonomous fleet control systems. Parker's experience guides development roadmaps that target cutting-edge research grounded in reliable architectures, balancing innovation with mature technologies. About Apptronik Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company developing AI-powered humanoid robots. Our goal is to create human helpers to support humanity in every facet of life. Our robot, Apollo, is designed to collaborate thoughtfully with humans—initially in critical industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with future applications in healthcare, the home, and beyond. Apollo is the culmination of nearly a decade of development, drawing on Apptronik's extensive work on 15 previous robots, including NASA's Valkyrie robot. Apptronik started out of the Human Centered Robotics Lab at the University of Texas at Austin and has over 150 employees. Key Takeaways: How Humanoid Robots are Shaping the Future of Logistics Human-Centered Robotics: Apptronik's core philosophy is to create human-centric helpers, not replacements. The company aims for a future where robots and humans work together to enhance human capabilities and improve quality of life, starting in logistics and expanding to other industries. Addressing Labor Shortages: The Apollo humanoid robot is designed to fill critical labor gaps in the logistics and manufacturing sectors. By automating repetitive and physically demanding tasks, it allows human workers to be upskilled to higher-value, more rewarding roles. Humanoid Form Factor Advantage: The humanoid design of Apollo allows it to operate seamlessly within existing, human-centric environments. This eliminates the need for expensive facility redesigns, making integration into warehouses and factories much more efficient compared to other types of robots. Safety and Collaboration: Apollo is equipped with an advanced force control architecture, enabling it to work safely alongside humans in shared spaces. This makes it a "collaborative robot" or "cobot," removing the need for safety cages and allowing for closer interaction with human colleagues. Versatile Platform: Unlike single-purpose robots, Apollo is a general-purpose platform. Its versatile design and AI capabilities mean it can be programmed to handle a wide range of tasks, providing a highly adaptable solution for companies looking to automate various processes. Balanced Innovation: Parker Conroy's extensive experience in robotics ensures that Apptronik's development roadmaps balance cutting-edge research with practical, reliable architectures. This approach guarantees that the products are not only innovative but also robust and ready for real-world deployment. Strong Foundation: Apptronik's origins from the University of Texas's Human Centered Robotics Lab and its extensive history developing 15 previous robots, including NASA's Valkyrie, give it a solid foundation. This academic and research-driven background underpins the rigorous engineering behind the Apollo robot.

Have car manufacturers been building vehicles the same way for too long? Ford's CEO Jim Farley thinks so, announcing a staggering $6 billion investment in what they're calling the "Universal EV Production System." This revolutionary approach abandons the traditional assembly line in favor of an "assembly tree" using three sub-assemblies with large aluminum castings and a structural battery that get joined together later.The ambitious manufacturing overhaul promises 20% fewer parts, 40% fewer workstations, and 15% faster assembly times. But as we unpack in this episode, Wall Street's response was lukewarm at best, raising questions about whether this represents genuine innovation or expensive PR. While Ford prepares to roll out a $30,000 midsize electric pickup from this new system, we can't help but wonder if addressing their ongoing recall issues might be a better investment of resources.Speaking of recalls, we dive into the latest automotive call-backs affecting Land Rover, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz owners. Our popular "Guess the Sold Car Price" game returns with some surprising auction results that show which classics are commanding premium prices in today's market. From AMC Javelins to Lincoln Town Cars, you'll be shocked at what some buyers are willing to pay.We also explore Chevrolet's stunning new Corvette concept cars that debuted at Monterey Car Week, the US military's curious interest in blowing up Tesla Cybertrucks with missiles, and the latest trends in auto financing.

SHOW NOTES: People want problems solved, even if you caused them! Learn how Katz's Deli and Mercedes Benz have turned problems into profits. Don't look for blame, look for opportunity. No one is as excited about an expected excellent experience as they are about a disappointing experience turned into an excellent experience. Customers tend to tell a huge number of people about their experiences, at their levels—peer-to-peer evangelism. This is why companies that make it their work to make themselves unreachable (welcome to government agencies) are so foolish. Perhaps, instead of saying, "The problem with you is...." you should be saying, "Let me help you do that even better."

Jason and Derek escape the studio this week to record from Hagerty's Motorlux event, the kickoff to Monterey Car Week 2025. We join them at this year's highlighted Bruno Sacco display, featuring designs that defined Mercedes-Benz in the 80's, 90's, and 2000's. The legacy of Sacco certainly lives on - but maybe not quite in the ways you might have originally thought... === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ === Rumor has it, Sacco never designed a single car himself. But how is that possible? In this episode, Jason and Derek discuss the ways in which Sacco's design philosophies defined Mercedes-Benz's image and technological growth over several key decades. We celebrate his achievements as a individual designer, but in reality, it took a village to build his legacy. Sacco was a "manager of minds" - one who is attributing for communicating and executing his vision across an entire team of designers, eventually building a department that had not previously existed but would eventually become a key in Mercedes-Benz's corporate function. The display includes Jason's W201 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth and Derek's Bornite Metallic S124 E320 Wagon. Also featured is a 40th Anniversary R129 Mercedes-Benz SL500, a C124 300CE Convertible, and two C126 560SEC Coupes. But of course at Motorlux, that's just the tip of the iceberg, with a slew of other incredible cars and airplanes on display. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
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.

CAREER-VIEW MIRROR - biographies of colleagues in the automotive and mobility industries.
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.
