We've got the week's big headlines on the Motor Trade Radio podcast, powered by MOTORS.  

The Motor Industry Association is praising changes to the Clean Car Importer Standards. The Government is softening back targets for reducing vehicle emissions, which were being enforced by fining importers of 'dirty' cars. The Association says the targets will still be tough - but easier than they were. Motor Industry Association Chief Executive Aimee Whiley says it will make it easier for importers to manage their costs. "We get our mix of zero-emissions vehicles, and we can offset the credits we earn from those to gain some of the debit penalties." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vehicle sales are continuing to plummet.  Data from the Motor Industry Association shows June sales are the lowest they've been in more than a decade.  New registrations have dropped for the fourth consecutive month.  Association Chief Executive Aimee Wiley told Mike Hosking there's a bit of a promising uplift in June for EV sales.  She says with the clean car discount EVs were making around 15% of the share, dropping to two percent in January but growing back to 5%.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 3, Matt Stancombe is joined by Emeritus Professor Jim Saker discussing modern-day automotive retailing, and the requirements of leaders in that space. Jim is a well-known, authoritative figure in the automotive landscape from his career in academia at Loughborough University, currently holding the Presidency of the Institute of the Motor Industry - an important and influential body that supports the UK automotive industry. Jim shares his views of the essential characteristics and behaviours required to be successful – sighting humility, creativity, critical thinking and passion as important attributes in today's modern leader.

It's the fifth straight month of slow new car sales, and it's likely for more dealers to close.  This comes after the Government removed the Clean Car Discount – stating the Clean Car Standard will achieve results.   Motor Industry Association CEO Aimee Whiley told Jack Tame “It feels harder right now, than it did during the GFC.”  Wiley said “Consumer demand has shifted too – the kind of vehicles Kiwis want has changed.”  LISTEN ABOVE.         See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The future of cars is becoming increasingly complex.  EVs, BEVs, and PHEVs have been pushed as the vehicles of the future, and yet there's been an increasing number of major producers backtracking on the promise to go electric.  The idea that the internal combustion engine will no longer be produced by 2030 seems to be out of reach.  Kay Hart, the President of International Markets Group at Ford, has been in the automotive industry for nearly 25 years, and has seen quite a significant amount of change in that time.  “I think the change has been phenomenal on so many fronts,” she told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking.  “The changes that we've seen in technology available in our vehicles, the connectivity of our vehicles, the features that are available to our customers, power train that we have, and also the way customers interact with, purchase, and service vehicles, I think has changed hugely over that 25 years.”  There are distinct differences in the regulations each market has, and so automotive producers need to be very clear on what the rules and regulations are, and how they bring the right products to their customers in those regions.  For example, the EU has restrictions around emissions and the use of internal combustion engines, but Hart says their timelines can leave something to be desired.  “To be clear, we are for, are very much in favour of cleaner vehicles, lowering carbon emissions,” she told Hosking.  “The overall, the intent of governments have been positive in terms of what their intent is. I think, to your point, maybe some of the timelines don't necessarily ensure that we had the most viable alternatives for our customers in the market at the right time.”  That flux, Hart thinks is what the industry is struggling to adjust to when it comes to EVs.  “In the market like New Zealand, to have the most aggressive curve in the world, probably unfairly punished vehicles that didn't really have a viable alternative.”  “And that's, that's probably where we're at now.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Right from the first communication, we're trying to find out exactly what's important to the clients.'‘If you don't have that clearly defined set of values and you don't have a clear direction with your value statement, when you start growing your business and you bring staff on, you bring people in that might not have lived and breathed these values before.

Changes to road user charges for EVs are being welcomed.  The Government's officially confirmed owners of plug-in hybrid vehicles will now pay $38 per thousand kilometres, a reduction from the planned $53 policy.  The change comes after the Government accidentally backed an amendment from the Labour Party.  Motor Industry Association Chief Executive Aimee Wiley told Mike Hosking that the reduction makes it more equitable.  She says every motorist has a responsibility to contribute to the roading cost but we have to make sure they pay their fair share.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2023 was by all accounts a solid year for the motor and car dealership trade here in Ireland but how is 2024 shaping up and will we see many more EVs on our roads?Joining Bobby to discuss is:Brian Cooke, SIMI Director General (Society of the Irish Motor Industry) Rowena Dooley, Dealer Principle at Dooley Motors Carlow Philip Mallon, Managing Director of Joe Mallon Motor Group

The Motor Industry Association's concerned for the future of electric vehicles in New Zealand.   Parliament's repealed the Clean Car Discount —dubbed a 'ute tax' by its opponents— under urgency, following a third reading.  The policy subsidised the purchases of electric vehicles by charging a tax on purchases of polluting vehicles.   CEO Aimee Wiley told Mike Hosking that while it's great to have clarity from the Government, it's a shame the rebates are ending.   She says they're worried things will go backwards next year with no form of incentive.  But, Wiley said, the market's now more competitive, and hopefully this will help pricing kick in.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Motor industry veterans pitch their ideas to bring down premiums. Synopsis: In this new podcast, The Straits Times offers expert insights if you are in the market for a new vehicle or are tracking transportation trends. Certificate of entitlement (COE) premiums have doubled from what they were a year ago with expectations that they will continue to rise. This translates to higher vehicle prices.  To understand what is driving up COE prices and what can be done about it, host Lee Nian Tjoe speaks with two motor industry veterans - Mr Neo Thiam Ting, President of Singapore Vehicle Traders Association, and Mr Neo Nam Heng, adviser to the Automobile Importer and Exporter Association and chairman of diversified motor group Prime. Highlights (click/tap above): 5:48 Why the industry experts say that it is the private-hire fleet owners that are driving up the COE. 7:40 We appeal to have a “lock-in period” for car ownership like it is with HDB flats. 12:35 Car rental companies are having it too easy. 21:45 How the industry appealed for changes to the COE system in 2012 for taxis. 23:30 Why cars will become even more expensive in 2024. 28:00 Are there good bargains for vehicles in the market today?

Questions around the National Party's plan for Road User Charges.   It's looking to extend road user charges to all vehicles if elected, including electric vehicles.    Motor Industry Association chief executive Aimee Wiley says it's not clear exactly how it will be rolled out.   She told Mike Hosking there are clear benefits to a fuel tax which aren't present with this new model.  “It's a complicated problem because charging a fuel excise duty per litre is almost a foolproof system. It doesn't need enforcement or monitoring.”  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last month was the biggest month ever for new vehicle sales as buyers tried to beat the Government's Clean Car policy changes. The Clean Car rebate introduced last year took a maximum of $8,500 off some electric vehicles that's been reduced to $1,600 less this month. Motor Industry Association data shows record vehicle registrations, nearly 24,000, up more than 2,000 from March last year, around the time the fees were introduced. Chief Executive Aimee Wiley says there were more than 8,000 electric vehicle sales. She says a range of hybrids will no longer attract a rebate and consumers pulled forward purchases before the changes were made. LISTEN ABOVE    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

South Africa's foremost political scientist RW Johnson provides context on the US's accusation that South Africa has been supplying arms to Russia. It's reminiscent of PW Botha's "Rubicon" blunder in August 1985, which sparked massive disinvestment, demand for immediate repayment of foreign debt, an economic collapse and rocketing interest rates. Johnson says Pretoria's actions threaten hundreds of thousands of South African jobs - and lives. Most apparent are SA motor manufacturers whose lifeblood is selling into the USA and Europe. Equally at risk is the country's membership of AGOA which gives SA exporters duty-free access to the US market "as a favour" because, strictly speaking, SA shouldn't qualify. Johnson also points out that millions of South Africans living with HIV/Aids receive antiretrovirals purely through the generosity of US donors - another critical source of goodwill threatened by Pretoria's actions.

Toyota South Africa Motors' (TSAM's) Prospecton production complex in Durban will move to 100% renewable energy by 2028, in an investment that will cost north of R800-million, says president and CEO Andrew Kirby. TSAM will have to carry the cost of the investment, and not its Japanese parent company. Around 10 MW of solar power has already been installed at the plant, with the aim to increase that to 31 MW. To achieve its 100% renewable energy goal, TSAM will also have to roll out low carbon equipment and improve its waste management. Speaking at the vehicle manufacturer's State of the Motor Industry event held in Johannesburg on Thursday, Kirby said the Hino truck plant within the production complex was already “self-sufficient” and running on 100% renewable energy. The group's Atlas warehouse in Gauteng was set to emulate the Hino plant by 2025, with the Sandton head office to get there “much sooner”. The bigger goal was for TSAM to become completely carbon neutral by 2035. “This is an enormous challenge, and we don't have all the answers yet, but we are dedicated to achieving this,” noted Kirby. He added that the 2028 renewable energy target was a “big investment”, and a “big commitment”. “We are doing this for a number of reasons.” One reason was to cut the company's carbon footprint, which was necessary if TSAM wanted to continue to be part of a global supply chain growing increasingly eco-friendly. Another reason was to mitigate the current loadshedding crisis caused by State-owned energy producer Eskom being unable to supply the country with sufficient electricity. Kirby said TSAM had been working closely with the eThekhwini municipality to put agreed mechanisms in place to reduce the Prospecton complex's overall energy consumption when necessary. This had enabled the plant to continue its production day without interruption. However, component suppliers to TSAM had not been that lucky – especially suppliers with high energy demands that could not be met by alternative energy sources, such as furnaces. In these cases, TSAM and the suppliers had been in contact with the relevant municipalities to convince them to sequence their loadshedding periods not too closely together, so that the power outages did not interrupt the production cycle. “For a furnace, for example, it takes two hours to get back up to speed, and then, two hours later, we have loadshedding again,” explained Kirby. “We are working closely with everyone. “To be honest, it's a moving target. “We have come very close to having to curtail our production because of loadshedding, and we think it's going to get worse,” said Kirby. “It's a big concern for us and we are managing it moment by moment.”

The Motor Industry Association fears the timeline proposed for phasing out the import of new petrol vehicles is too ambitious. The Climate Change Commission has published a blueprint for combatting the crisis - along with a raft of recommendations. They include a plan to ban any new petrol cars coming into the country at some point between 2030 and 2035. The association's chief executive David Crawford told our deputy political editor Craig McCulloch that New Zealand should not move quicker than other countries or car manufacturers.

The motor industry is asking the government to pump the brakes on their ambitions to lower vehicle emissions.Under the Clean Car Import Standards, importers must bring in cars that are more climate-friendly, with phased targets and penalties if they're not met.Motor Industry Association chief executive David Crawford told Kate Hawkesby trying to achieve a 40 percent drop in five years is impossible.He says no country has made a drop that fast from our current starting point to where we need to end up.These changes would bring us up to speed with countries such as Japan, that reached 105 grams of CO2 per kilometre back in 2014.LISTEN ABOVE

The motor industry has grave fears that a Covid-19 amnesty on vehicle warrants could lead to more people dying in crashes in unsafe vehicles. Drivers were given a six-month grace period to renew their warrants, registrations and licences which ends Sunday. It has prompted safety fears, and will likely lead to long delays as drivers rush to comply. Hamish Cardwell has the story.

Welcome back to the Esquire Q&A Podcast! Today is a very special day for the podcast because it's the start of season three. Yes, the podcast has proven so popular that we are back, bringing with us an entirely new roster of interesting guests that represent both style and substance - two traits that us here at Esquire hold most dear. As per usual, each week we will be sitting down with a man or woman who exhibits both style and substance, and talking about their interests, and figuring out what makes these people tick. Today is no different, as we will be delving in - for the first time in this podcast's history, I might add - into the motoring industry. Yes, we have talked to artists, musicians, designers, hotel managers, influencers, gamers and more, but this marks our first-ever discussion based around cars. Our guest today is Markus Leithe, who is the marketing manager of Infiniti Middle East. He is in charge of driving Infiniti's performance here in the region. He brings more than 20 years of automotive experience to the job, having previously worked for another motoring stalwart: General Motors. Today we're going to go over everything from where the car industry is going - from both a design and a technological standpoint - as well as the elephant in the room, what the coronavirus might mean for the wider industry in general.

The Motor Industry Association is already voicing concerns over proposed new policies to encourage motorists to go green.The government wants a Clean Car Standard to improve fuel efficiency and a Clean Car Discount, funded by fees on high-emission vehicles.But Motor Industry Association chief executive David Crawford told Andrew Dickens he can hear alarm bells already.“It will be a very lumpy entry. People will be looking to take advantage of the rules before and after the introduction of this Clean Car Discount . All this will do is force the price of vehicles up.”The move would shave up to $8000 off fuel efficient vehicles, while penalising owners of gas guzzlers as much as $3000.

Sunday 29th April 2018.   LYNK&CO WILL BE HYBRIDS Volvo’s sister brand Lynk&Co has announced that the crossovers it will be building in Belgium to serve the European market will not be fully electric, but hybrid. Lynk&Co wants to attract young urban people with a subscription programme, which would allow customers to rent a car for just one month up to a few years and change their car for another model up to four times per year” says FleetEurope. Mats Fagerhag, Vice President of Geely Auto Group, said: “From the very beginning of the CMA’s development, the flexibility to support future powertrain technologies, such as PHEV, HEV, BEV, mild hybrid and traditional fuel was very much our vision. The new energy plan for Lynk & Co will be implemented in stages with the goal of following PHEV with HEV and then BEV”.   TESLA RESPONDS TO MUNRO Munro and Associates recently talked about the Tesla Model 3 in an Autoline After Hours video, Teslarati noting: “According to Sandy Munro, everything about the Model 3 from its suspension, all the way to its battery pack, are industry-leading, and if Tesla had only ensured that its build quality was as good as its technology, it would have “wiped the floor with everybody.” But Mr Munro wasn’t totally complimentary. He thought the build quality wasn’t as good as it should have been, the frame was too heavy, and he hated having no physical latches on the doors. Although on that last point, if you want the video, he does come across as an old man who doesn’t like the technology. Even though he’s clearly an expert, that one point sounded like when you’re trying to set up your parents WiFi. Tesla has responded in a statement: “The primary car evaluated by Munro was built in 2017. We have significantly refined our production processes since then, and while there’s always room for improvement, our data already shows that Model 3 quality is rapidly getting better. Since we began shipping Model 3 last year, we have been very focused on refining and tuning both part and body manufacturing processes. The result being that the standard deviation of all gaps and offsets across the entire car has improved, on average, by nearly 40%, with particular gap improvements visible in the area of the trunk, rear lamps and rear quarter panel. Today, Model 3 panel gaps are competitive with Audi, BMW, and Mercedes models, but in the spirit of relentless improvement, we are working to make them even tighter.”   BYTON VP OF DESGN SPEAKS Recently at the Milan Design Week, Byton showed off their EV concept. BYTON’s VP of Design, Benoît Jacob is the former VP of Design at BMW. During his time at BMW, Jacob was the head of various projects, including both the i3 and i8 electric vehicles. Now, at BYTON, Jacob is responsible for building a concept. “I think the ability to update software, functionality and things like that will be on a day-to-day basis. And this is, of course, something we have to integrate as a technology into the car.” BYTON’s SUV will be available in China towards the end of 2019 and in the US and Europe in 2020 with a price starting at $45,000.   MOTOR DEALERS NEED EV-ANGELISTS The whole ev-angelist thing is clever but maybe a bit overdone, but that’s exactly what dealers need according to a new report. Motor Trader website says “one in three UK dealerships don’t have a single EV trained technician in their workshops but the majority now recognise the need to increase the number of EV trained technicians in their dealerships and train existing sta The Institute of the Motor Industry has been campaigning for some time for the government to give further backing technician training for electric vehicles. In July last year it reported that the percentage of technicians trained to work safely on the high-voltage technology remains at 1%.”   DRIVING ON A SOLAR ROAD Elon Musk occasionally likes to counter arguments against solar power by saying that the world is solar powered – the sun being the source of everything. Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie have spent just about every day over the past 10 years developing Solar Roadways. He says: “"We signed with our first manufacturing contract in Dayton, Ohio. So, they'll be making the first SR4's. And we're in talks with our first manufacturing company here in North Idaho," he said. "That means we can get the price way down. And our ultimate goal is to have this at a big box store where homeowners can do their driveways, business people can do their parking lots." KREM says: The Brusaws got to the next phase with the help of a record-setting crowdfunding campaign back in 2014. It raised more than $2.2 million. After Indiegogo, credit card and other fees, the Brusaws say they got about $1.5 million before the tax man took another huge chunk. This allowed them to buy a Sandpoint building to serve as the Solar Roadways research and development headquarters. They hired a few employees and bought their first small scale manufacturing equipment. Of course, they were not actually made to make solar roads since nobody ever needed machines for that before”   TESLA OWNER BANNED The BBC reports that: “A driver who moved into the passenger seat after putting his Tesla into autopilot while at 40mph on a motorway has been banned from driving. Bhavesh Patel, 39, of Alfreton Road, Nottingham, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving at St Albans Crown Court. A witness in another car filmed him sitting in the passenger seat of his Tesla S 60 on the M1 between junctions 8 and 9 near Hemel Hempstead. A statement provided by a Tesla engineer said the autopilot was intended to provide assistance to a "fully-attentive driver", the court heard.”     I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.

介绍: 详细内容请关注周六微信，或登录以下网址： http://english.cri.cn/7146/2014/10/31/2582s850221.htm This is NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news. China has launched an experimental spacecraft to fly around the moon and back to Earth in preparation for the country's first unmanned return trip to the lunar surface. The eight-day program is a test run for a 2017 mission that aims to have a Chinese spacecraft land on the moon, retrieve samples and return to Earth. That would make burgeoning space power China only the third country after the United States and Russia to have carried out such a mission. China's lunar exploration program has already launched a pair of orbiting lunar probes, and landed a craft on the moon last year with a rover onboard. None of those missions were programmed to return to Earth. The latest mission is to obtain experimental data and validate re-entry technologies such as guidance, navigation and control, heat shield and trajectory design for the future moon-lander christened Chang'e 5. China's lunar exploration program is named Chang'e after a mythical goddess. This is NEWS Plus Special English. China's south-to-north water diversion project will effectively improve Beijing's eco-environment, with water flowing to the capital later this month connecting five major river systems. The middle route of the transfer project will see a massive 10 billion cubic meters of water per year pumped through canals and pipes from a reservoir in central Hubei Province to northern China and Beijing. The project connects the major rivers in Beijing with a section of the Grand Canal in the city, allowing water to flow to lakes and rivers in the capital city. Beijing has more than 400 rivers with a wetland area of at least 10 square kilometers each, but such water sources have dwindled following decades of economic development. Experts say that over exploitation of underground water has exacerbated the city's environmental woes. With the diversion project, Beijing's water system, particularly rivers with historical significance and cultural value, will be partly restored. The ambitious project was conceived by Chinese leaders in the early 1950s. It was approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet, in 2002, after debate lasting almost half a century. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. The Forbidden City in Beijing has started the sale of one-year passes to better its service. It is the first time the Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, has issued annual passes. An ordinary pass is priced at 300 yuan, roughly 50 U.S. dollars, while passes catering to special groups including senior citizens and students cost only half that price. Pass holders will be eligible to visit the museum 10 times per year. However, in order to ease the traffic in peak seasons, the passes cannot be used during the seven-day national holiday, beginning on October 1 each year. Currently, a typical ticket costs 60 yuan. This is NEWS Plus Special English. The flourishing international vocational education programs in southwestern China's Chengdu city are expected to provide strong support for local economic development. Chengdu Industrial Vocational Technical College is one of the institutions in the city that has vocational education cooperation with their foreign counterparts from countries that include the UK, the United States, Germany and Singapore. Seventy-five graduates from the college's IMI international education program received IMI international qualification certificates last month, enabling them to find a job at an international company. The college in Chengdu had been working with Britain's Institute of Motor Industry and Central College Nottingham for ten years before it launched the IMI program in 2012. Officials from the college say that the program brings in British courses and an evaluation system to cultivate professional auto mechanics to international standards. These mechanics will provide strong support for the development of high-tech industries in Chengdu. Chengdu is the provincial capital of Sichuan and home to 260 Fortune Global 500 companies.

Motor vehicle technology and the Motor Industry in general have undergone dramatic changes in recent times. Technological advances have made vehicles more efficient, more environmentally friendly and safer, whilst at the same time increasing standards are being enforced by manufacturers, distributors and retailers. The Transport Management and Technology degree programme is designed to take account of these changes. The course provides varied and rewarding career opportunities in many types of enterprise throughout the industry ranging from motor dealerships to vehicle manufacturing and distribution companies.
