Este podcast no es la continuación del que hicimos denunciando que Seat podría desaparecer, que titulamos “La marca Seat desaparece” … se podría decir que es más bien la precuela… Cuando compró Seat, el grupo VAG quiso hacer de Seat los “Alfa Romeo” de Volkswagen. Más tarde VW incluso se planteó comprar Alfa Romeo. Herbert Diess, el ya defenestrado presidente de Seat, volvió a decir que quería que Seat fuese el Alfa Romeo de VW, después que Seat iba a ser Cupra, luego Cupra iba a ser el futuro de Seat para terminar dejando entrever que Seat no va a ser ni Alfa ni nada, porque Cupra va a acabar con Seat… Con este arranque muchos pensaréis que este va a ser un vídeo con mucha opinión y poco información… Pues va a ser justo lo contrario. Porque esto de que Seat fuera una marca para rivalizar con Alfa Romeo no es de ahora ni de hace unos años, sino casi desde el principio, cuando en 1986, cuando el Grupo VAG se hizo con la mayoría de las acciones de Seat… En el verano de 2022 los accionistas de Volkswagen prescinden del polémico Herbert Diess de una manera no muy limpia. Mientras Diess estaba de visita en fábrica de Volkswagen en Chattanooga, Estados Unidos, los principales accionistas de la empresa deciden despedirlo… La gestión de Diess fue polémica. Diess no era del agrado de la parte más influyente del clan Porsche-Piech… por lo que veo, nada de extrañar. Y de manera poco elegante despidieron en 2022 a Herbert Diess para poner en su lugar un hombre de confianza, Oliver Blume… Este culebrón no ha terminado, ni mucho menos. Porque seis meses después de ser despedido el exdirectivo presidirá el consejo de Infineon, un proveedor clave para los eléctricos de Volkswagen… Si quiere vengarse, tiene una oportunidad… Volkswagen compró Seat básicamente por tres motivos: Tener acceso a un mercado en crecimiento como era el español; conseguir una buena plataforma para llegar al continente americano; y conseguir unas fábricas interesantes, sobre todo porque tenían mano de obra de calidad, pero barata. La idea era construir buenos coches, pero a mejor precio… Seat iba a ser la marca “latina” de VW. Porque VW en esos momentos fabricaba coches que convencían, pero no emocionaban. Y pensaban que los italianos a lo mejor no convencían, pero sí emocionaban. Los Seat ofrecían una estética más “latina” y más dinámica que los VW… Y en cuanto a bastidores, aun siendo esencialmente los mismos que los de VW sus tarados y reglajes hacían que, en general, los Seat tuviesen un tacto más deportivo, más dinámico… Pero este plan, avalado por el antiguo presidente de VAG, Ferdinand Piech de convertir a SEAT en una rival de Alfa Romeo, finalmente no se llevó a cabo… En 2011 el rumor se convierte en clamor: VW quiere comprar Alfa Romeo. Eso publica Autonews y muchos les siguen… y en 2015 llega Diess a VW, procedente de BMW… Y en 2018 se hace cargo de la presidencia de Seat… y se vuelve a hablar del tema. A finales de 2019, en plena “era Diess”, Michael Jost, jefe de Estrategia de Producto del grupo Volkswagen, decía esto: “SEAT podría presentar automóviles más emocionales que VW” … ¡Comienza la ceremonia de la confusión! Y nace Cupra. Hasta ese momento Cupra había sido la denominación de las variantes deportivas de muchos modelos Seat, pero en 2018 se convierte en marca y Diess declara: “Cupra no está sustituyendo a Seat, la ayuda a ser mucho más rentable” y luego añade: “A corto plazo, la preferencia es Cupra … pero se cuenta con Seat a largo plazo.” ¿Seguro? Y en 2022 en una rueda de prensa en las que ambos demuestran mucha complicidad Diess declara: “Seat utiliza la misma tecnología que VW, pero vende más barato, de modo que es difícil hacerla rentable”. Wayne Griffiths admite, muy sonriente y en presencia de Diess, que “sobran unos 3.000 puestos de trabajo en la fábrica de Seat” y que el futuro de Seat es Cupra… la marca que venía a salvar a Seat puede ser la que la entierre… y si no habéis visto el vídeo de “La marca Seat desaparece” … es el momento de verlo… como decimos, este es la “precuela”. Quizás sea muy “romántico” como decía mi madre. O muy “inocente” como dice mi pareja. Pero la idea de convertir a Seat en la marca latina del grupo VW siempre me gustó, desde que el Sr. Piech lo dijo… Pero una amiga mía tiene otra frase: “Lo que no puede ser no puede ser y además es imposible”. Coches del día Hoy me repito, pero lo hago a propósito y con conocimiento de causa: El coche del día es el Seat León CUPRA R de 2003, que ya elegimos en el vídeo titulado “Seat León MKI, ¿macarra?”. Y es que creo, y esto sí que es una opinión, que este coche por estética, deportividad y prestaciones está al nivel de los Alfa Romeo de esos años, ¿o no?
Michael Jost ist Chefstratege von VW. Im Podcast erklärt er, dass der Supertanker Volkswagen unaufhaltsam Kurs auf E-Mobilität genommen hat und wie. Mehr als zehn Millionen Autos baute VW 2018, ganz überwiegend waren es Fahrzeuge mit Verbrennungsmotor. Und doch hat Michael Jost, Leiter der Strategieabteilung der Marke VW und des Volkswagenkonzerns, schon vor längerem ein Enddatum für die Entwicklung von Verbrennern genannt (2032). Und er ist sich sicher, dass der Konzern 2025 schon mehr als eine Million Elektroautos verkauft. Im Podcast erklärt Jost, warum die Festlegung von VW auf batterieelektrische Autos unumkehrbar ist, was die Schwierigkeit und was die Chance dabei ist, wenn es gelingt nicht mehr in Restriktionen, sondern in Visionen denkt. Und deren Kommunikation funktioniere nur mit Emotionen. Und obwohl der 57-Jährige für den Druck auf der Startknopf eines V12 mitten in der Nacht aufstehen würde, hält er Elektroautos für „sexy“.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I can find today, and picked out the ones I think you need to know about. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. TESLA MODEL 3 U.S. DELIVERIES DIP AS IT SHIPS TO GLOBAL MARKETS First week of February and InsideEVs are estimating the January Tesla Model 3 sales numbers: "The expected result of shifting to overseas is seen in our estimates, but that doesn’t imply that demand for the Model 3 has fallen. In fact, demand abroad is high and is being fulfilled now, so on the U.S. side, a slip was inevitable. Our estimates show that Tesla delivered some 6,500 Mo del 3 to U.S. buyers in January 2019. Yes, that’s down considerably compared to the later months of 2018, but it’s actually way up from the 1,875 sold in the U.S. in January 2018." As for the LEAF: "How will the announcement of the upcoming 2019 Nissan LEAF Plus (e+) impact Nissan LEAF U.S. deliveries? (LEAF sales are bleak at 717 for January, but this still parallels January 2016 and 2017 figures. It’s not really fair to compare LEAF sales from January 2018.)" https://insideevs.com/tesla-model-3-sales-u-s-january-2019/ https://insideevs.com/january-2019-u-s-plug-in-ev-sales-report-card/ TOYOTA'S HUGE SALES DIP MARKS A ROUGH START TO 2019 "Toyota is already down 7.1% on North American automobile sales this year, as compared to January 2018, and Lexus isn’t far behind with a 2.8% decrease in volume." reports Jalopnik: "Most of the losses are lead by aging models like the Prius." https://jalopnik.com/toyotas-huge-sales-dip-marks-a-rough-start-to-2019-1832303081 TESLA’S CCS ADAPTER ENABLES MODEL S AND X TO CHARGE UP 120 KW, WILL NOT BE STANDARD Some confusion around a story over the weekend about Tesla CCS connectors. "Starting this month, Tesla is including a new CCS adapter with all new Model S and Model X orders in Europe so that owners can take advantage of the growing CCS fast-charging networks on the old continent, according to an update on their website." reported Electrek. And then updated their story: "Tesla responded to this story saying that the update on their website was inaccurate. It will not be standard and it’s unclear when it will be available as an accessory." "Tesla has updated its charging connector support page in Europe to show that the new CCS adapter is standard on “all custom order Model S and Model X vehicles from February 1.” Update: Tesla now says that it was a mistake on their part and it will not be standard." https://electrek.co/2019/02/02/tesla-ccs-adapter-standard-model-s-x-europe/ MERCEDES-BENZ EQV ELECTRIC MINIVAN TO DEBUT IN GENEVA "Mercedes-Benz will unveil an electric MPV concept at this year’s Geneva motor show, previewing a rival machine to the forthcoming Volkswagen ID Buzz." reports Autocar: "Confirmed at the launch of the facelifted V-Class MPV, the Concept EQV is described as a ‘near-series study’ that will likely closely mirror the production version. It's the fifth confirmed vehicle in the German firm’s electric EQ range, following the EQC SUV that launched last year and the forthcoming EQA hatchback, EQB small SUV and EQS luxury saloon. Those models, along with the EQV, are all due to go on sale by 2022. Mercedes-Benz Vans board member Wilfried Porth described the EQV as the firm’s “next big statement” in the class. Mercedes-Benz Vans already offers the electric eVito and will launch the eSprinter later this year. The eVito is based on the architecture of the regular van and is intended as a ‘last-mile’ delivery vehicle suited to urban use. It's powered by three lithium ion batteries with a total capacity of 41.4kWh, connected to a 113bhp, 221lb ft motor, providing a range of around 93 miles." https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/mercedes-benz-eqv-electric-people-carrier-due-geneva 31 COMPANIES JOIN DRIVE TO SWITCH TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES "More than 30 global corporates have now pledged to switch their road fleets to electric vehicles through the EV100 initiative, which has set a target of electrifying two million vehicles by 2030 through its membership." according to Michael Holder for Business Green: "Published today, The Climate Group's first annual report on its EV100 initiative reveals 31 companies with a combined revenue of over $500bn have now made EV commitments as part of the campaign, including high profile names such as BT, IKEA, Unilever, EDF, and Heathrow Airport. The report provides a detailed update on the commitments made by 23 member companies, which have together pledged to switch 145,000 vehicles to electric in 66 markets around the world by 2030. Collectively, the EV commitments from these 23 firms could help to save an estimated 6.6 million metric tonnes of CO2, the equivalent carbon footprint of 1.9 million UK households, according to the report." https://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news/3070355/ev100-31-companies-join-drive-to-switch-to-electric-vehicles ELECTRIC VW FOR LESS THAN $22,900 COMING BY 2023-2024 "Michael Jost, Head of Strategy at Volkswagen, said officially that in 2023, or at the latest in 2024, the company will introduce a truly affordable electric car, which will start from less than €20,000 ($22,900). It will be a small car, the size of a T-Roc, which could be described as a compact crossover utility vehicle." reports Mark Kane for InsideEVs.com: "“MEB and ID. Family are part of the Volkswagen Group’s electric offensive, for which the company is investing around €30 billion by 2023. By 2025, the Group brands plan to increase the number of their all-electric cars from six today to more than 50. Jost, who is also the head of Group Product Strategy, emphasizes that electric vehicles are by no means synonymous with sacrifice: “We build cool electric cars that are fun to drive, beautifully designed and fully networked.” He notes that starting in 2023, or at the latest in 2024, Volkswagen will launch an electric model, which will be the size of a T-Roc, for less than €20,000.” https://insideevs.com/electric-vw-cheap-coming-2023/ COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.
