The four-stall site uses ABB Mobility all-in-one dispensers delivering up to 400 kW with NACS and CCS1 connectors and app-only payment, part of a rollout that added 612 stalls in the first half of 2026 and ranked second only to Tesla for new ports energised in Q2, at an average $0.43 per kWh with 10% off for Walmart+ members.HYUNDAI OPENS IONIQ V PRE-SALES IN CHINABeijing Hyundai has begun pre-sales of the Ioniq V at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show ahead of a September launch, priced from 119,900 yuan (about $17,300) to 139,900 yuan across three versions, with up to 650 km of CLTC range, an 800-volt E-GMP architecture, CATL LFP batteries of 53.5 or 66.8 kWh and single motors of 140 or 168 kW. It is the first production Ioniq developed in China, using a 27-inch 4K Snapdragon 8295 screen, Momenta highway L2+ assistance and Baidu and ByteDance AI infotainment, as Hyundai targets 20 electrified models and 500,000 annual Chinese sales by 2030.POLESTAR CLAIMS UNEQUAL US TREATMENTPolestar has accused the US Commerce Department of "disparate treatment" after a June 24 denial blocked its American sales from model year 2027, noting that Volvo — which shares Chinese majority owner Geely and builds the Polestar 3 on the same South Carolina line — was authorised earlier in 2026. In an Aug. 18 letter, Peter Wexler said the 13-month review dismissed mitigation offers including audits, cybersecurity reviews and removal of China links from data management, despite officials indicating in January and April that approval was likely; dealers have called the outcome devastating, with a New Jersey group suing for $25 million over an allegedly concealed US withdrawal.DUTCH PLUG-IN MARKET FAVOURS RICH HOUSEHOLDSStatistics agency CBS found that the Netherlands' shift to electric cars has mainly benefited wealthy households, with the top-earning 10% buying almost 75,000 of the roughly 259,000 electric and plug-in hybrid cars traded in 2025 and the top 20% accounting for nearly half. The lowest-earning 10% bought about 6,000, or 2%, and two-thirds of cars bought by the poorest fifth were over a decade old, prompting a €52 million, three-year subsidy scheme from the final quarter of 2026 for lower- and middle-income buyers of second-hand EVs who scrap older petrol or diesel vehicles.MERCEDES CLA ELECTRIC COVERS 385 MILES AT 70 MPHThe dual-motor 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 350 4MATIC Electric covered 385 miles in a constant-speed 70 mph range test on 19-inch wheels, exceeding its 312-mile EPA Combined rating by 73 miles, or 23%, with 2 miles remaining at 0% charge. Consumption of 225 Wh per mile implied 86.6 kWh used against an 85-kWh net battery, with the result credited to the 800-volt Mercedes Modular Architecture and a two-speed rear-motor transmission of the type that has also helped Porsche and Audi models beat their ratings.OPEL SETS 2028 DATE FOR ELECTRIC CORSAOpel CEO Florian Huettl has pushed the all-electric Corsa successor from 2027 to 2028, moving the brand's best-seller onto Stellantis' STLA Small platform as a battery-electric-only model with bigger batteries, more range and prices from €25,000, against the current e-CMP Corsa Electric's 46-49 kWh battery, 429 km claim and €30,440 starting price. Huettl cited improving range, charging and fuel costs rather than any fixed date to end combustion engines, and Opel will still deliver the e-CMP-based Corsa GSE, capable of 0-100 kph in 5.5 seconds, to dealers this year.ROME BACKS ELECTRIC AND HYDROGEN BUSESRome will spend €117 million from Italy's infrastructure ministry on new buses through operator ATAC, split between €83.6 million for hydrogen models and €27.1 million for battery-electric ones plus depot upgrades, though neither quantities nor manufacturers have been named. A further €6 million in European funding will build a green hydrogen hub using local electrolysis at ATAC's Acilia site, complementing a charge introduced in July 2026 for EVs entering a restricted central zone that takes about 50,000 cars a day against a designed capacity of 20,000.SUZUKI PLANS VISION E-SKY EUROPE EXPORTSuzuki intends to export its Vision e-Sky electric microcar from Japan, with Europe possible in 2027 and the UK and Italy under review at an expected UK price below £20,000, ahead of a Japanese world premiere in autumn and production at a plant southwest of Tokyo. Based on Japan's kei-car class and targeting 310 km of range with likely LFP cells from BYD's corporate network, it would be Suzuki's first battery-electric kei car and reportedly the first exported almost unchanged, offering growth potential after European sales fell 15% to 187,000 in the year to March.MEXICO ELECTRIFIED SALES RISE AS PRODUCTION FALLSMexico sold 95,037 electrified vehicles in the first half of 2026, up 44% year on year for a 12.6% market share, led by Toyota in conventional hybrids and boosted by expanding Chinese brands, while charging points reached 60,934 and 170 electrified models are now offered. Production moved the other way, falling to 47,411 units from 110,002 a year earlier as weaker US demand cut Equinox output by 81.6% and Blazer output by 80%, prompting the Electro Mobility Association to call for policies supporting both electrification and domestic manufacturing.ELECTRIC MOTORHOME USES EVOLVE PLATFORMCityFreighter, Vöhringer and Motive Development have unveiled an electric motorhome demonstrator for Europe's 4.25-tonne Class B category, built on CityFreighter's Evolve skateboard with a Vöhringer AIRPLY lightweight interior and coming in under 3.5 tonnes complete with kitchen, bathroom and heat pump, leaving about 750 kg of payload. Its 128-kWh battery gives roughly 400 km of range, supports vehicle-to-load and charges from 10-80% in about 20 minutes at up to 200 kW, while independent battery replacement and upgrades are pitched as protecting residual value in vehicles that often stay in service for decades.

Built on the 800-volt MMA platform, the GLA offers up to 657 km WLTP range, 320 kW charging, and starts at €48,599 as Mercedes' cheapest electric SUV.FERRARI LUCE BEATS 2026 SALES TARGETFerrari's electric Luce hit its 2026 sales target of nearly 500 units within two months of its May launch, despite public backlash, an 8% share price drop, and the departure of marketing chief Enrico Galliera. Demand proved strongest in China, where its 88-unit allocation sold out at roughly $589,000, with Ferrari targeting 2,500 total Luce sales by 2030.RENAULT PROFITS BEAT ON EVS AND CUTSRenault posted a 5.2% operating margin and 9.5% revenue growth in the first half of 2026, beating forecasts through cost cuts and a stronger EV lineup, outperforming Audi and Mercedes-Benz margins for the period. CEO Francois Provost is pushing cheaper EVs like the €19,490 Twingo and €25,000 R5 to defend market share against BYD, Opel and Citroën, while targeting €400 in annual per-vehicle cost savings.WALMART BUILDS OUT US FAST CHARGINGWalmart has opened about 46 high-speed public charging stations with 380 cords across roughly 326 of its 4,600 US stores, ranking second only to Tesla in network expansion during the second quarter. The retailer is leaning on its vast footprint—90% of Americans live within 10 miles of a store—to combine charging dwell time with shopping, potentially lifting store sales by about 5%.CANADA'S FAST CHARGERS OUTPACE DEMANDCanada's DC fast-charger utilization fell to just 9.5% in Q2 2026, down from 11.3% in Q1 and well below the 15-20% operators typically need to break even, trailing the US average of 15.8%. Paren's data, covering nearly 10,000 ports, shows profitability is highly site-specific, prompting calls for demand-led charger siting and better reliability.FORMER VW ENGINEERS CHARGED OVER RIVIAN DEAL TRADESProsecutors charged former Volkswagen engineers Michael Stamp and Michael Plank with insider trading ahead of VW's $5 billion Rivian joint venture announcement in June 2024, which sent Rivian shares up 23%. Stamp allegedly made $250,000 and Plank $50,000, with Plank also accused of tipping a family member who made $12,000, while incriminating searches about insider trading laws feature in the case.IONIQ 3 OPENS UK AND EUROPE ORDERSHyundai's new IONIQ 3 electric hatchback has drawn more customer interest than any previous Hyundai launch, debuting at Goodwood with UK pricing expected under £25,000 and offering up to 308 miles of range from a 61 kWh battery. Built on the E-GMP platform for the European market, the compact IONIQ 3 is not planned for a US launch.KIA COMMITS $649 MILLION TO MEXICO EVSKia will invest $649 million in its Pesquería, Mexico plant to begin producing the EV3 compact SUV starting August 4, marking its first EV production in the country. The move, tied to Mexico's Plan México initiative, is expected to create 500 jobs this year and 1,500 by 2030, while helping Kia navigate USMCA trade rules and tariffs.V2G COULD DWARF MANAGED CHARGING VALUEA General Motors-commissioned E3 study found vehicle-to-grid technology could deliver five to 15 times more value per EV than one-way managed charging, totaling roughly $7 billion nationwide by 2030, with the strongest returns in California, ERCOT, and the Pacific Northwest. GM already has 250,000 bidirectional-capable vehicles on the road and is pushing utilities to speed up V2G tariffs and approvals, including a plan to use 52,000 vehicles to balance PG&E's grid by 2030.SC01 SET FOR UK ARRIVAL IN 2027Small Sports Car Company will bring its China-built SC01 lightweight electric sportscar to the UK, featuring 429 bhp, a 1,365 kg curb weight, a 2.9-second 0-62 mph time, and a 500 km CLTC range. UK demonstration cars arrive in Q4 2026, with right-hand-drive customer cars following from April 2027, though pricing has not yet been announced.

Thị trường xe hơi và nay là xe điện (electric car-EV) của Anh có truyền thống bị quốc tế hóa từ lâu, với các tập đoàn Nhật, Hàn, Pháp, Đức và Trung Quốc. Nhưng gần đây, sự xuất hiện của xe Trung Quốc và xe nhãn hiệu châu Âu nhưng do công ty Trung Quốc đầu tư sản xuất trở thành hiện tượng nổi bật. Các dòng xe Trung Quốc vào Anh tăng nhanh tới mức nào và tại sao người Anh ưa chuộng xe Trung Quốc? Theo các tạp chí chuyên ngành, từ năm 2024 đến hết 2025, xe hơi mới do Trung Quốc sản xuất đăng ký sử dụng ở Anh đã tăng gần gấp đôi, từ 100 nghìn xe lên gần 200 nghìn, chiếm khoảng 10% xe hơi đăng ký mới ở Anh (2 triệu xe). Điều đáng nói là số bán rất ngoạn mục thể hiện ba điều đặc biệt. Một là các nhãn hiệu xe Trung Quốc từ chỗ mấy năm trước không ai biết đến mà nay đã rất phổ biến. Các tạp chí xe, chương trình TV, mạng xã hội đều tham gia quảng cáo xe Trung Quốc rất mạnh. Thứ hai là xe Trung Quốc rất đa dạng về chủng loại, về nhãn hiệu chứ không phải chỉ có vài loại từ một nước. Ví dụ như Pháp thường bán sang Anh xe Peugeot, Renault, Nhật thì có Nissan, Toyota, Mazda...Xe Trung Quốc ngay lập tức có ít nhất hơn 10 loại, từ các tập đoàn khác nhau. Thứ ba là Trung Quốc dẫn đầu về số xe điện EV đăng ký ở Anh. Nếu tính xe Trung Quốc và cả các dòng xe châu Âu nhưng thực tế là sản xuất, lắp ráp, đặt pin ở Trung Quốc, thì tới 27,9% xe EV bán ở Anh là đến từ Trung Quốc. Cụ thể hơn, các dòng xe Trung Quốc đang ồ ạ vào Anh là gì? Sức cạnh tranh là nhờ rẻ hơn xe các nước khác, hay có gì nổi trội nữa? Tạp chí xe Motorpoint nêu ra 26 nhãn hiệu xe Trung Quốc hàng đầu đã và sắp vào Anh (26 Chinese car brands coming for the UK market), trong đó có tới 18 nhãn hiệu đã được bán ở Anh. Nổi bật nhất là 4 loại xe: ·       Chery Tiggo 8: Được trang Carwow ở Anh bình chọn là Xe của Năm. Chiếc SUV gia đình hybrid cắm sạc (PHEV) này gây ấn tượng với khoang cabin cảm giác cao cấp, tính thực dụng và mức giá cạnh tranh. ·       MG4 EV: Được trang What Car? khen là xe điện nhỏ tốt nhất. Các chuyên gia đánh giá là lái ổn, giá rẻ và phạm vi dùng pin khá rộng. ·       BYD Dolphin Surf: Được Auto Express nhấn mạnh là một trong những xe điện đô thị hàng đầu, có cabin rộng rãi, trang thiết bị phong phú và giá khởi điểm chưa tới 19 nghìn bảng Anh. ·       Jaecoo 7: Từng bị phê phán trên các tạp chí xe hơi Anh, chiếc SUV gia đình dẻo dai này đã trở thành cơn sốt doanh số lớn ở Vương quốc Anh nhờ kiểu dáng sắc nét và khoang cabin công nghệ cao.. Ngoài ra còn Xpeng 6, Changan, SkyWell là các nhãn mác khác đang dần vào Anh... Xe TQ cạnh tranh tốt nhờ giá thấp, từ 3-5 nghìn bảng mỗi chiếc xe mới cùng hạng. Xin so sánh một chút: Những ai sử dụng một số đồ điện như nồi cơm điện của Xiaomi và đồng hồ điện tử của hãng này nên biết là Xiaomi cũng làm xe hơi động cơ điện và xe này sẽ tới Anh nay mai. Hàng điện tử, từ loa đài, điện thoại thông minh, đồ gia dụng Trung Quốc bán ở Anh đều rẻ hơn 10-15%, đôi khi 20% so với hàng châu Âu. Xe hơi và xe điện cũng vậy. Ví dụ, MG HS của TQ cạnh tranh đồng hạng với Kia Sportage, nhưng bán với giá rẻ hơn, từ 6 đến 8 nghìn bảng. Người Anh nay đã biết nền tảng cơ khí và công nghiệp Trung Quốc quá mạnh, nên một công ty làm điện thoại, đồng hồ cũng có thể chuyển sang làm ô-tô chỉ trong một vài năm. Người ta nói ở Trung Quốc sản xuất xe hơi nay như làm bánh mì vậy. Tại sao ngành ô-tô Trung Quốc chọn Anh? Lý do đầu tiên là thương chiến Mỹ-Trung và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu (EU)-Trung Quốc. Anh là nước duy nhất không áp thuế cao lên xe EV của Trung Quốc nên khi bán vào Anh, các hãng Trung Quốc có biên độ lợi nhuận khác hẳn với việc bán vào Hoa Kỳ và EU. Ví dụ, xe điện Trung Quốc bán vào EU chịu thuế nhập khẩu từ 7,8% tới 35,3% tùy phần trăm vật liệu và công nghệ, còn ở Anh thuế chỉ có 10%. Lý do thứ nhì là thị trường xe hơi Anh trên thực tế đã lọt vào tay các tập đoàn nước ngoài sau đợt tự do hóa từ mấy chục năm trước. Ở Anh, ngành xe hơi hiện có trị giá thị trường 100 tỷ bảng, tuyển dụng hơn 700 nghìn người, nên là một mũi nhọn của nền kinh tế, nhưng từ lâu nay đều là do các tập đoàn nước ngoài của Nhật, Đức và các nước khác đầu tư và sản xuất. Sự có mặt của các công ty Trung Quốc là chuyện bình thường. Chỉ có điều là họ vào quá nhanh và bán quá tốt. Lý do thứ ba,  các công ty Trung Quốc lâu nay đã mua lại các dòng xe châu Âu, như MG, Lotus của Anh hay Volvo của Thụy Điển. Tôi đi xe Volvo nên biết rằng Geely từ Chiết Giang  làm chủ hãng này, xe sản xuất ở Bỉ, lắp vô-lăng tay lái nghịch theo hệ của Anh để bán sang Anh. Chi tiết đó cho thấy tiền đầu tư của Trung Quốc đã có ở châu Âu, gồm Anh, nhiều năm rồi. Tới đây, Geely sẽ bán sang Anh các dòng xe Geely, Zeekr, Farizon, bên cạnh Polestar, Lotus, Smart, Volvo, LEVC đã có mặt. Ví dụ nữa, MG là tập đoàn truyền thống của Anh được công ty SAIC của Trung Quốc sở hữu và triển khai khá nhiều nhãn hiệu xe ở Anh. Điều đáng nói là một số tạp chí xe của Anh không coi MG là ‘xe Trung Quốc' nữa mà xếp vào mục xe Made in the UK – Sản xuất tại Vương quốc Anh. Chiến lược tới đây của các tập đoàn xe Trung Quốc với nước Anh ? Thị trường Anh được cho là ‘phòng thí nghiệm' cho công ty xe hơi và xe điện Trung Quốc. Ngoài lý do thuế quan thấp, các công ty xe hơi Trung Quốc có hai chiến lược thâm nhập thị trường Anh. Một là các nhà chế tạo xe ở Trung Quốc đã làm chủ các thương hiệu mạnh thì họ sẽ nhấn mạnh vào tính truyền thống, như thể họ đã làm một phần của văn hóa xe hơi ở Anh và châu Âu. Ví dụ MG bán xe theo phong cách Anh. Leapmotor, công ty khác của Trung Quốc, thì hợp tác với Stellantis và trình bày hình ảnh họ thuộc đại gia đình xe châu Âu gồm Vauxhall (ở Đức là Opel), Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat… để bán xe ‘quen thuộc' với người Anh. Từ đó, họ sẽ bán xe sang các nước nói tiếng Anh, dựa vào dòng thông tin tiếng Anh toàn cầu. Đó là một phần của chiến lược marketing và giành thị phần toàn cầu mà Anh Quốc là mắt xích quan trọng. Hai là chiến lược của các dòng xe rất mới, tên khá lạ, từ Omoda tới BYD, Changan, Xiaomi, Chery, Skywell, GWM (Great Wall Motor-xe Trường Thành)...thì chọn hẳn tương lai của ngành xe điện, trình bày sản phẩm thuộc thế hệ mới, xe EV, plug-in hybrids, bán pin có thời gian chạy được lâu. Hiện nay, xe điện mới chiếm chưa tới 50% xe hơi mới bán ra ở Anh, nên tiềm năng của thị trường Anh còn rất lớn, nhờ chính sách thúc đẩy chuyển đổi năng lượng xanh của chính phủ. Các công ty TQ đang chờ sẵn. Có những ý kiến trái chiều nào về xe Trung Quốc ở Anh ? Có những bài bình luận nói một số loại xe EV của Trung Quốc khi trời lạnh, pin bị hao nhanh hơn mức được quảng cáo. Có loại xe bị chê là vỏ quá mỏng, sơn chưa đạt nên chóng hoen rỉ. Còn theo nhà báo Stuart Masson viết trên trang The Car Expert, nhiều xe mới của Trung Quốc bị chê là có quá nhiều màn hình (screen-heavy), màu sắc nhấp nháy, và thiếu ‘cảm giác châu Âu' (European feel) khi lái. Vô-lăng xe có khi như là bộ phận đồ chơi điện tử. Xe Trung Quốc cũng nổi tiếng với nhiều tính năng giải trí bên trong, có các app, phần mềm và màn hình nhiều hơn so với xe châu Âu. Nhưng kiểu thiết kế đầy ắp các chức năng điện tử thế chưa chắc đã được người châu Âu thích. Vì thế, Trung Quốc sẽ thử bán ở Anh, thu thập ý kiến khách hàng để cải thiện sản phẩm. Chúng ta biết dân châu Âu đã có cả trăm năm chơi xe hơi nên cách lái, cách ứng xử trong xe là cả một bề dày văn hóa. Đó là thứ người Trung Quốc chưa làm được. Nhưng Masson viết, sau khi ông đi thăm các nhà máy xe ở Trung Quốc về, phía Trung Quốc hiểu điều này và học rất nhanh cách khắc phục những lỗi sản xuất. Với họ, việc đem vào Anh nhiều loại xe khác nhau, đáp ứng các nhu cầu khác nhau của người dân trong cuộc sống là cách ‘thí nghiệm' để sau đó cải tiến và bán sang các nước nói tiếng Anh trên toàn cầu.

fWotD Episode 3359: Holden Commodore (VE) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 16 July 2026, is Holden Commodore (VE).The Holden Commodore (VE) is a full-size car that was produced from 2006 to 2013 by Holden, the former Australian subsidiary of General Motors. Dubbed Holden's "billion dollar baby", the car was available as the Holden Berlina—the mid-range model—and the Holden Calais, the luxury variant; utility body styles were marketed as the Holden Ute.Succeeding the VZ series, the VE was the first iteration of the fourth generation of the Holden Commodore, a series of automobiles built between 1978 and 2020. Unlike its predecessors, which used Opel-sourced platforms adapted to mechanics and sizes that would suit the local market, the VE was the first Commodore entirely designed and developed by Holden in Australia. To minimise export redevelopment costs, features such as a symmetrical centre console housing a flush-fitting hand brake lever facilitated the conversion to left-hand drive. The VE was internationally badge-engineered as the Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Omega, Bitter Vero Sport and Pontiac G8.Holden introduced the VE body styles in stages, beginning with the sedan in July 2006. Before this, the company stated they would manufacture two parallel generations of Commodores until the launch of the station wagon and utility. Variants by Holden's performance vehicle partner, Holden Special Vehicles, were released soon after the sedan's debut alongside the long-wheelbase WM Statesman/Caprice models. The VE Ute entered production in 2007, coinciding with the unveiling of the Sportwagon concept car. The production version of the VE Sportwagon—which shared its 2,915 mm (114.8 in) wheelbase with the sedan instead of the extended wheelbase from the Caprice, like previous models—was introduced in July 2008.Named the 2006 Car of the Year by Wheels, the VE frequently ranked as the annual best-selling automobile in Australia over its production run. Holden introduced updates to the VE as model year (MY) changes. Typically subtle, these recurring changes have involved alterations to colours and trim, increased standard equipment and reduced fuel consumption. More noteworthy adjustments have come in the form of a smaller 3.0-litre V6 engine for entry-level versions and "Series II" styling revisions in September 2010.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:02 UTC on Thursday, 16 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Holden Commodore (VE) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.

Diesmal geht es um ein junges und trotzdem schon wieder vergessenes Auto – aber auch darum, was das Aussterben der Cabriolets über den Zustand der Gesellschaft sagt. Denn der Opel Cascada war zuletzt fast alleine auf dem Markt der viersitzigen Cabrios. Heute müssen wir lange suchen, um solche erfrischenden Autos überhaupt noch zu finden. Oder eben nicht – denn noch ist die Auswahl an gebrauchten Cascadas ziemlich groß. Wie es mit dem vielleicht letzten echten Premium-Opel weitergeht (und warum es Menschen gibt, die wirklich Opel Escada sagen), darüber diskutieren Frank Otero Molanes, Jens Seltrecht und Christian Steiger.

Es ist schön, nicht nur zu hören, dass immer mehr Unternehmen aus Deutschland abwandern, sondern dass es auch Unternehmen gibt, die dem Standort Deutschland treu bleiben. Für Opel gilt dies, denn die nächste Generation des Astra wird am Stammsitz in Rüsselsheim entworfen, entwickelt und gebaut. Das sind endlich mal gute Nachrichten aus der deutschen Autoindustrie.  Darum geht es diesmal!Opel hat deutsche Motorjournalisten in Rüsselsheim begrüßt, um über die Zukunft des Astra zu sprechen. Auch die nächste Generation des Opel Astra, die auf der neuen STLA ONE Stellantis-Plattform basieren wird, wird wieder am Opel-Stammsitz in Rüsselsheim gebaut. Bis 2030plant der deutsche Hersteller die Einführung von mindestens vier neuen Modellen. Zu den Newcomern gehören die jeweils nächste Generation der Bestseller Opel Astra und Opel Corsa sowie das kürzlich angekündigte neue SUV im C-Segment, das in Partnerschaft mit Leapmotor entsteht. Darüber hinaus wird Opel in weitere Modelle des bestehenden Portfolios investieren. Für die Opelaner und für Rüsselsheim ist die Entscheidung für den Standort natürlich wichtig, zudem ist „‚Made in Germany“ ein anerkanntes Gütesiegel für Kunden überall auf der Welt und stellt einen strategischen Vorteil für Opel im Stellantis-Konzern dar. Opel und Stellantis Germany bauen aktuell bereits an der neuen, hochmodernen Zentrale, dem grEEn-campus Rüsselsheim. Die neue Zentrale von Opel und Stellantis Germany wird hochmoderne Arbeitsplätze bieten, die auf flexibles Arbeiten und gemeinschaftliche Zusammenarbeit ausgelegt sind. Zudem werden nachhaltige Baustoffe eingesetzt, um eine gute Innenraumatmosphäre zu gewährleisten. In Kürze werden wir den neuen Astra Sports Tourer Plug-in-Hybrid vorstellen. Doch auch in Blick zurück kann sich lohnen.  Modelle aus dem C-Segment, in dem der Astra angesiedelt ist, sind seit mittlerweile 90 Jahren eine wichtige Säule des Opel-Portfolios. Die Erfolgsgeschichte, die 1936 mit dem Kadett begann, setzt die aktuelle Astra-Generation nahtlos fort. Mit Hightech-Lösungen wie den Intelli-Lux HD Scheinwerfern und hocheffizienten Antrieben von batterie-elektrisch über Plug-in-Hybrid und Hybrid bis Diesel deckt der Astra – entworfen, entwickelt und gebaut in Rüsselsheim – so gut wie alle Kundenbedürfnisse ab.Die erste Generation des Kadett wurde von Ende 1936 bis Mitte 1940 gebaut. Nach langer Pause begründete Opel mit dem Kadett A ab Frühsommer 1962 eine Fahrzeugreihe, die im Sommer 1991 mit dem Modellwechsel vom Kadett E zum Astra wurde. Bisher wurden rund 25 Millionen Einheiten von Kadett und Astra verkauft. Und in Rüsselsheim wird man sich freuen, noch lange das „Home of Astra“ zu sein. Alle Fotos: © Opel Automobile GmbH    Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Stellantis tente de reprendre la main sur un segment qu'il avait presque abandonné : celui des petites voitures électriques abordables. Pendant que Citroën, Opel et Peugeot levaient le pied sur l'entrée de gamme, Renault a relancé l'offensive avec sa nouvelle Twingo E-Tech sous les 20 000 euros. Volkswagen prépare aussi son retour, avec l'ID.Polo annoncée sous les 25 000 euros, puis l'ID.EVERY1 sous les 20 000 euros en 2027.Face à cette pression, Stellantis officialise son projet E-Car. Le « E » signifie à la fois européen, émotionnel, électrique et écologique. Le modèle doit être produit à Pomigliano d'Arco, près de Naples, dans l'usine où la Fiat Pandina quittera les chaînes en 2028. Chez Citroën, cette future voiture doit combler l'espace entre la très petite Ami et la C3 électrique. Aucun prix officiel n'a été annoncé, mais certaines rumeurs évoquent environ 15 000 euros avant aides, voire un peu moins. Pour comparaison, la C3 électrique démarre aujourd'hui à 19 990 euros, avec 200 kilomètres d'autonomie.Ce projet s'inscrit aussi dans un contexte réglementaire très favorable. En décembre 2025, la Commission européenne a créé une catégorie M1e, réservée aux voitures électriques de moins de 4,2 mètres fabriquées dans l'Union européenne. Chaque modèle vendu compte pour 1,3 véhicule dans le calcul des émissions de CO2 du constructeur. Autrement dit, vendre une petite électrique européenne permet de compenser une partie des émissions des modèles thermiques. Pour les industriels, l'enjeu est considérable : sans ce mécanisme, les constructeurs européens risquaient jusqu'à 15 milliards d'euros d'amendes sur plusieurs années.Le choix de Pomigliano n'est donc pas seulement industriel. Il est aussi stratégique, puisque seuls les sites situés dans l'Union donnent droit à cet avantage. L'usine italienne en avait besoin. En 2025, sa production a chuté de 21,9 %, avec 131 180 véhicules assemblés et un recours massif aux aides sociales. Avec l'E-Car, Stellantis redonne donc une perspective à un site fragilisé. La future plateforme STLA Small doit accueillir ces modèles compacts, mais le groupe reste discret sur les technologies employées. Hébergé par Acast.

Panelet samler troppene etter en travel uke. Martin har jobbet både seint og tidlig, men har fått skvist inn treningsøkter både her og der. Calle har slitt med en forkjølelse, men rakk likevel å innkassere det nye prestisje-segmentet i løpe-Bergen. Mathias fikk et realt hekseskudd i ryggen, men vakler videre i sitt forsøk på en Hail Mary Jølster-plan. Marius Vedvik går rett i strupen på Mathias når han uttaler seg kritisk mot rustnivåene på Marius sin gode gamle Opel Zafira. Og er jordbær-melk undervurdert eller overvurdert?   Sponsorer: Brooks, Torshov Sport, Zooca

Stellantis steht unter Druck: Der 2021 aus FCA und PSA fusionierte Autokonzern kämpft mit sinkenden Marktanteilen, milliardenschweren Verlusten und einer stockenden Elektrowende. Mit dem neuen Strategieplan „Fastlane 2030“ will CEO Antonio Filosa die Wende schaffen – durch klare Prioritäten, massive Investitionen und stärkere Partnerschaften. Pascal und Yannick sprechen in der aktuellen Folge WAS MICH BEWEGT über die bisherigen, bisweilen auch fehlgeleiteten strategischen Weichenstellungen des Multimarkenkonzerns und wie es jetzt weitergeht. Im Fokus stehen die Konzentration aufs Kernportfolio, der Umbau der globalen Produktionsstruktur sowie die wachsende Rolle von Partnern – insbesondere aus China. Doch reicht dieser Kurswechsel aus, um wieder profitabel zu wachsen? Und welche Risiken birgt die steigende Komplexität?

Für diese Folge ziehen wir uns den bunten Carlo-Colucci-Pullover an, werfen uns in die Moonwashed Jeans und beamen uns zurück ins Deutschland der Wendezeit. Dabei hilft uns ein Traumwagen von damals. Ein sportliches Coupé für vier, das viel teurer aussieht als es tatsächlich ist. Und das gilt heute immer noch, denn wie sprechen vom Opel Calibra, der auf die Technik des Opel Vectra zurückgreift. Seinem Erfolg steht das damals nicht im Weg, ganz im Gegenteil. Doch wie sieht's auf dem Weg in die Karriere als Oldtimer aus? Darüber sprechen – fast genau 30 Jahre nach Einstellung der Produktion – Frank Otero Molanes, Jens Seltrecht und Lukas Hambrecht.Executive Producer: Christoph Falke & Ruben Schulze-FröhlichProjektleitung: Lukas HambrechtSounddesign & Produktion: Fabian SchäfflerMarketing und Ansprechpartner: Bastian SchonauerCopyrights Cover: www.oldtimer-markt.de Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode of Stories From SuperTouring, Alex and Levi are joined by touring car journalist Andrew Charman and motorsport photographer Greg Denton to look back at the dramatic finale to the 1999 STW Cup season at the Nürburgring — the final chapter of Germany's Super Touring era.With the championship disappearing at the end of the season, the title fight came down to a final showdown between Christian Abt and Uwe Alzen, as Audi and Opel battled for one last piece of STW history.Together, they revisit the atmosphere surrounding the final weekend of the championship, the intensity of the title battle, and the significance of STW's place in the wider Super Touring story.Factory rivalry, controversy, and one final showdown before the curtain came down on an era.

Voor twee lokale rijders was de 49ste Sezoensrally eentje om snel te vergeten… De presentatie van de nieuwe Ford Escort WRC in zijn thuisrally draaide voor Gunther Monnens helaas uit in een snelle opgave. Bij Christophe De Leeuw liep de Ascona A zware schade op nadat hij onzacht in aanraking kwam met een boom in het bos van Reppel. Robert en Eddy trakteren de luisteraars op een dubbele espresso met twee gasten om even na te kaarten over hun Sezoensrally, hun carrière en hun toekomstplannen. Monnens kreeg het autosportvirus van vader Rik. Hij schakelde na enkele jaren rallycross over naar de rallysport. En daar besmette hij onze andere gast - Christophe De Leeuw - die vol bewondering keek naar zijn dorpsgenoot. Zijn vele vragen aan Gunther zorgde ervoor dat hij zijn eerste rally deed als co-piloot van Monnens… die einde wedstrijd afsloot met een droge “en zo doe je dat”. Maar aan de rechterkant zien we De Leeuw niet meer terug. Zijn palmares kent - op één uitzondering na - maar één auto: de Opel Ascona A. Hij plaagt zijn goede vriend Mats van den Brand zo nu en dan als hij met zijn oude Opel de prachtige M3's eens kan verslaan… maar er zelf mee rijden, blijft eerder een droom, wellicht ook de beste keuze om de vriendschap in stand te houden. Als De Leeuw carte blanche krijgt, zou hij liever de MATS-M3's verslaan met een Opel Manta 400…Ondanks de pechvolle start is Gunther Monnens helemaal happy met wat hij nu in de garage heeft staan. De FIA historic Ypres Rally zal (nog) niet voor dit jaar zijn maar wellicht zullen we de Bocholtenaar wel ooit aan de start van een FIA historic manche zien staan. Ook de San Marino Rallylegend staat nog op zijn verlanglijstje. Christophe De Leeuw heeft de Ascona al gestript en wil in het najaar terug een manche van het Frans onverhard kampioenschap rijden. Tegelijk heeft hij zijn dorpsgenoot geleerd hoe een podcast precies werkt… Iedereen blij en wij een luisteraar erbij. Veel luisterplezier met De Leeuw en Monnens Op de rallykoffie espresso. Social mediaFacebook - Op De RallykoffieInstagram - Op De Rallykoffie

 Die deutschen Automobilhersteller bringen gerade das Beste, was sie je gebaut haben. BMWs Neue Klasse, der VW Polo ID und die CLA-Plattform von Mercedes sind technisch auf Augenhöhe mit dem Weltmarkt. Die Vorbestellungen laufen, die Tests sind gut. Aber reicht das? Sascha Pallenberg und Don Dahlmann nehmen die neuen Plattformen unter die Lupe – und schauen dahinter. Denn was in China passiert, ist mehr als günstigere Konkurrenz. Xiaomi baut einen Taycan-Klon für 29.000 Dollar. Chery montiert in Barcelona. BYD produziert in Ungarn. Und der Innovationsdruck ist so hoch, dass ein komplett neues Modell in China in drei bis vier Jahren steht – während deutsche Hersteller für eine Plattformentwicklung das Doppelte brauchen. Die eigentlich gefährliche Frage lautet nicht mehr: Sind die deutschen Autos gut genug? Sondern: Können sie sich noch leisten, eigene Plattformen zu entwickeln? Was Stellantis mit Opel und Leapmotor bereits macht, könnte ein Vorgeschmack sein – White-Label-Autos mit chinesischer Technik und europäischem Design. Und was das für 250.000 Jobs im deutschen Zuliefererbereich bedeutet, ist eine der unbequemsten Fragen dieser Episode. Zwischen berechtigtem Optimismus und struktureller Angst: eine nüchterne Analyse der wohl entscheidenden Plattformwette der deutschen Autoindustrie.

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

En la actualidad, el automóvil parece tener fecha de caducidad: baterías que pierden capacidad, sistemas de AdBlue que se bloquean y electrónica diseñada para durar lo justo. Sin embargo, existió una "Edad del Hierro" —entre mediados de los 80 y principios de los 2000— donde el objetivo de la ingeniería era la durabilidad extrema. Estos son los 10 motores diésel que, con un mantenimiento básico, pueden sobrevivir a varios dueños. ¿Por qué ya no se fabrican así? La clave está en el estrés mecánico. Antiguamente, un bloque de 2.5 litros entregaba unos conservadores 90 CV. Hoy, motores de 1.5 litros deben entregar 150 CV para cumplir con las normativas, lo que triplica el esfuerzo térmico de los materiales. Además, se ha sustituido la robusta fundición de hierro por aleaciones de aluminio para ahorrar peso, sacrificando la estabilidad térmica a largo plazo. Listado de los 10 motores "Inmortales": Mercedes-Benz OM602 (1984-2002): El cinco cilindros atmosférico que convirtió al W124 en leyenda. Su bomba inyectora mecánica Bosch, lubricada por el propio aceite del motor, lo hace inmune a fallos electrónicos. Nissan TD27 (1985-2007): Famoso por equipar al Terrano II. Su gran hito técnico es la distribución por cascada de piñones; no hay correas ni cadenas que cambiar, lo que elimina el mantenimiento crítico. Volkswagen 1.9 TDI (AFN/AVG) (1991-2010): El motor que redefinió el diésel. Con inyección directa y bloque de fundición, demostró en el sector del taxi que superar el millón de kilómetros era una meta alcanzable. Fiat 1.9 JTD (8 válvulas) (1997-2012): El pionero del Common Rail. Su culata de 8 válvulas es térmicamente más estable que las versiones modernas, ofreciendo una fiabilidad que le permitió sobrevivir en marcas como Opel, Saab o Alfa Romeo. Toyota 1HD-FTE (1998-2007): Un bloque de seis cilindros y 4.2 litros con componentes sobredimensionados. Es una mecánica de camión adaptada al Land Cruiser, capaz de entregar un par motor inmenso con un desgaste mínimo. PSA 2.0 HDi (DW10) (1998-2015): La cima de Peugeot y Citroën antes de la complejidad de los sistemas anticontaminación modernos. Un motor de gestión conservadora, famoso por su suavidad y su bajísimo consumo. BMW M57 (1998-2013): Un seis cilindros en línea que combinó rendimiento deportivo con longevidad. Salvo por el mantenimiento preventivo de las mariposas de admisión, es un motor capaz de devorar la Autobahn durante décadas. Volvo D5 2.4 (2001-2015): De diseño 100% sueco, este cinco cilindros destaca por su robustez ante climas extremos y una arquitectura diseñada para aguantar altas presiones sin fatiga. Honda 2.2 i-CTDI (2003-2009): Un prodigio de refinamiento japonés. Sin correas y fabricado con aluminio de alta presión, demostró que un diésel podía ser tan silencioso y equilibrado como un motor de gasolina. Mercedes-Benz OM642 V6 (2005-2021): El último gran V6 de la marca. Un motor diseñado para el confort de marcha y los trayectos infinitos, capaz de superar los 800.000 kilómetros manteniendo un estándar de lujo. Consejos para mantener un diésel eterno Para que estos motores alcancen su máximo potencial, es vital vigilar la acumulación de carbonilla mediante trayectos largos por carretera, no escatimar en la calidad del aceite y revisar el estado de los manguitos de caucho, que son los únicos componentes que envejecen antes que el metal del bloque. Conclusión Apostar por estas mecánicas es, en definitiva, una apuesta por la ingeniería que respetaba al propietario y se rebelaba contra la obsolescencia programada.

For 14 years, David Imai was a Design Director at Tesla, helping shape every car the company put on the road. Before that, GM and Opel. Today he advises the startups building the future of transport and robotics, and he's obsessed with one question: why do the best ideas keep dying inside big organisations?His answer will surprise you.Every team has two types of people. The Mad Hatter, who throws out wild, half-formed, maybe-genius ideas. And the White Rabbit, who gets things done on time. Most workplaces only protect one of them, and it's almost always the wrong one. That's why your best thinking never makes it out of the meeting room.In this episode, David sits down with Cathal (his old London housemate, small world) to unpack the three things every curious culture needs. Why psychological safety isn't optional. Why Tesla sends its robotics engineers to Disney Imagineering. And the one habit that separates teams that innovate from teams that talk about innovating.If you've ever walked out of work wondering why nobody listens to your best ideas, press play. This is the episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Face à la montée en puissance des constructeurs chinois dans l'électrique, les groupes européens changent de stratégie. En s'alliant avec Leapmotor, Stellantis illustre un basculement majeur : celui d'une industrie automobile où l'innovation vient désormais de Chine. Le secteur automobile est en pleine transformation. Selon plusieurs sources, Stellantis, qui regroupe notamment Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat ou Chrysler, serait en discussions avancées avec le constructeur chinois Leapmotor. Objectif : produire un SUV électrique sous la marque Opel. À première vue, il pourrait s'agir d'un partenariat industriel classique. Mais en réalité, ce projet est le symbole d'un basculement stratégique majeur. Pour la première fois à cette échelle, un constructeur occidental historique pourrait s'appuyer massivement sur une technologie chinoise pour concevoir un modèle destiné au marché européen. Dans l'électrique, les constructeurs chinois ont en effet pris une avance considérable. Des groupes comme BYD maîtrisent aujourd'hui toute la chaîne de valeur, des batteries aux logiciels, en passant par l'architecture et l'assemblage des véhicules. Résultat, ils produisent plus vite, moins cher, et avec des technologies particulièrement compétitives. Des alliances dictées par la pression économique Pourquoi ces rapprochements ? Parce que les constructeurs occidentaux sont sous pression. Développer une voiture électrique coûte extrêmement cher. Plateformes, batteries, électronique, les investissements se chiffrent en milliards de dollars. Dans le même temps, la demande ne progresse pas aussi vite que prévu. Stellantis en a fait l'expérience ces dernières années en révisant à la baisse ses ambitions dans l'électrique. Dans ce contexte, travailler avec Leapmotor permettrait au groupe de réduire ses coûts de développement, d'accélérer sa mise sur le marché et d'utiliser plus efficacement ses usines européennes. Concrètement, il s'agit pour Stellantis de gagner du temps et de préserver ses marges. Le partage des rôles est d'ailleurs révélateur. Leapmotor fournirait les technologies clés, tandis qu'Opel se chargerait du design et de l'identité de marque. Un renversement historique. Autrefois exportateurs de savoir-faire, les constructeurs européens deviennent désormais importateurs de technologies. Une nouvelle dépendance qui interroge l'Europe Cette évolution traduit une forme de spécialisation à l'échelle mondiale. La Chine devient le cœur technologique de l'électrique, tandis que l'Europe conserve le design, la marque et une partie de la production. Pour Stellantis, un point reste essentiel, puisque le véhicule serait assemblé en Europe. Un choix stratégique qui permet de produire localement, d'éviter d'éventuels droits de douane, de maintenir l'emploi industriel et de rassurer les consommateurs. Mais dans le même temps, une partie du développement est pensée et réalisée en Chine. À lire aussiLa Chine et ses voitures électriques sont le futur de l'automobile européenne Et cette stratégie n'est pas sans risques. À terme, les constructeurs européens pourraient devenir dépendants de leurs propres concurrents, les groupes chinois spécialisés dans l'électrique. La question de la souveraineté industrielle se pose clairement. Car si la recherche et développement se déplace vers l'Asie, cela affaiblit mécaniquement les compétences en Europe. Or, ne plus savoir faire — ou ne plus savoir innover — constitue l'un des principaux dangers pour l'industrie du continent.

In Episode 292 of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill sits down with Shane Quick, partner at Peachtree Entertainment and President of Live Events, for a deep dive into one of the fastest-growing forces in the live music space. Shane breaks down the evolution of Peachtree from a Southeast staple to a nationwide powerhouse, highlighting a massive 2025 and the continued expansion of festivals like Rock The South and Rock The Country. He shares behind-the-scenes insight on building large-scale events, why festivals remain a core part of music culture, and how bringing live experiences to small-town America creates real impact far beyond the stage. The conversation also dives into Peachtree's reputation for identifying talent early, from artists like Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs to newer names like Ella Langley and Gavin Adcock, and the importance of investing in artists before the rest of the industry catches on. Shane reflects on his entrepreneurial mindset, owning multiple businesses, and how his passion for building opportunities extends beyond music into local communities. From tornado relief efforts that sparked Rock The South to scaling national festivals, to balancing life, business, and mental health, this episode is packed with insight on leadership, growth, and creating something bigger than yourself in the music industry.

Leute, diesmal erging es uns tatsächlich wie dem BVB am Samstag gegen die Bayern. Denn wir kamen mit viel Energie aus der Kabine, spannten den Bizeps an und flexten mit den ersten Pointen, ehe uns die Technik der anderen die Grenzen aufzeigte. Dann allerdings nahmen wir den Kampf an, rotzten aufs Räusperknöpfchen und lieferten nicht weniger als einen Klassiker, die beste Folge der Saison. Mindestens. Es ging schließlich gleich mal wieder um alles. Um Schlotterbeck und die Mentalität, um Kimmich und den gar nicht mal so kleinen Unterschied, um Tah und die WM und natürlich um die wichtigste aller Fragen: Klaut Harry dem Robert seinen Opel? Nee, Unsinn! Knackt Kane den Lewandowski-Rekord? So ist es richtig. Und wer jetzt noch wissen möchte, was alles falsch war, warum Dieter Hecking auf keinen Fall sein eigener Nachnachnachnachnachnachnach nachnachnachfolger werden konnte und aus welchem Holz die Baum-Tabelle ist, der möge doch einfach einschalten. In die neue Folge. FUSSBALL MML - denn alles andere ist nur eine Wurzelkanalbehandlung von Jürgen Klopp. Viel Spaß!

In dieser Folge spricht Jones mit Autorin und Sex-Expertin Lisa Opel über ein Experiment, das als neugieriger Valentinstags-Gag begann und dann überraschend tief ging: Lisa hat eine männliche Real Doll getestet – inklusive Konfiguration im Shop, 54 Kilo Logistik-Realität und einem Abend zwischen Hoodie, Gleitgel, Stille und Fragezeichen.

In dieser Episode von selbst&frei teilt Markus Ihlenfeld, Mitgründer von woom, die ungeschminkte Wahrheit über den Aufbau des Weltmarktführers für Kinderfahrräder – von der Garage bis zu 150 Millionen Euro Umsatz. Markus erklärt, wie er gemeinsam mit Industriedesigner Christian Bezdeka aus einer simplen Beobachtung heraus eine Marke erschaffen hat, die heute jedes vierte Kinderfahrrad in Deutschland und jedes zweite in Österreich verkauft. Ohne Investoren, ohne Pitch-Deck, nur mit 500 Fahrrädern in der Garage – und dem unbedingten Willen, Kindern das beste Produkt zu geben. Besonders wertvoll: Seine ehrliche Reflexion über die ersten acht Jahre komplett ohne externe Investoren – finanziert durch Privatkredite, Crowdfunding und maximale Verschuldung. Markus spricht offen über die Realität hinter den Kulissen: Drei bis vier Jahre ohne Gehalt, Fahrräder in zusammengeschnittenen KTM-Kartons verschickt, nachts in der Garage schrauben nach 12-Stunden-Tagen bei Opel. Er erklärt, warum Top-Line-Growth wichtiger war als Profitabilität, wie sie durch jeden einzelnen Kunden persönlich betreut haben – teilweise Fahrräder in der Mittagspause nach Hause gefahren – und warum der Wiederverkaufswert ihrer Räder so hoch ist, dass Eltern sie sofort wieder loswerden. Die wichtigste Strategie: Aus der Sicht des Kindes denken – kleinere Griffe, leichtere Rahmen, bessere Ergonomie – und den Eltern ein Sorglos-Package bieten, das sie nie wieder über Kinderfahrräder nachdenken lässt. Besonders eindrucksvoll: Seine persönliche Journey vom Marketingdirektor bei Opel – der mit einem Flugzeug das GTI-Treffen am Wörthersee crashte – zum Vollzeit-Gründer, der seinen sicheren Job aufgab, während seine Frau die Familie versorgte. Markus spricht offen über die größte Herausforderung: Finanzierung – wie sie mit Privatkrediten in Millionenhöhe gewachsen sind, weil Banken und Investoren nicht an sie glaubten. Er erklärt, warum er nie wieder studieren würde – weder Bachelor noch MBA – und stattdessen direkt in Sales oder in ein Startup einsteigen würde. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis: "Ego ablegen, einfach machen und jeden einzelnen Kunden glücklich machen." Heute gründen Markus und Christian mit Pop-Top – höhenverstellbare Schreibtische für Kinder – das erste von zehn geplanten Startups in den nächsten Jahren. Ein radikales Plädoyer für Naivität, Mut und die Kunst, eine Marke zu bauen, die nicht von Marketing lebt, sondern von echter Mission und kompromissloser Qualität.

Sascha and Georgie Mackay celebrate the pass of the season, and a deserved win in the Miami E-Prix, for Mitch Evans, looking back at the long and record-breaking career in Formula E for the New Zealander, who has committed fully to the series and shown how to win a wet-dry race.They also discuss Opel's rumoured entry into Formula E, why Tim Tramnitz, like Colin McRae, is definitely real, why Abbi Pulling doing Rookie Free Practice for Nissan is really big news, and we ask if driving a Ford GT and enjoying mum's chicken Kyivs should really be mutually exclusive.Join Motion Racing on Discord! https://discord.gg/sp8ey8bU4TFollow on Bluesky: https://motionracing.bsky.socialWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@motionracingpodcastSong: Krezus & surreal_dvd - FirefliesMusic provided by NoCopyrightSoundsFree Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/firefliesWatch: http://ncs.lnk.to/firefliesAT/youtube

Dicen que dos cabezas piensan mejor que una, pero en la industria del automóvil, a veces dos cabezas solo sirven para darse cabezazos. Existen frases muy manidas como “la unión hace la fuerza”, pero la historia nos demuestra que, en ocasiones, ocurre justo lo contrario: la unión no suma, resta. Hoy analizamos 10 ejemplos de colaboraciones fallidas, "Frankensteins" mecánicos y millones de euros tirados a la basura en proyectos que nunca debieron existir. 1. Cisitalia-Porsche Type 360 (1947): La genialidad maldita Esta historia comienza en una cárcel francesa, donde Ferdinand Porsche y Anton Piëch estaban presos tras la guerra. Piero Dusio, fundador de Cisitalia, pagó una fortuna por un diseño de Porsche para financiar su fianza. El resultado fue el Type 360, una locura técnica adelantada 20 años a su tiempo: motor central de 12 cilindros, doble compresor y tracción total conectable. 2. Maserati Quattroporte II (1974): La limusina lenta Bajo el paraguas de Citroën, Maserati intentó crear una berlina de lujo. El error fue partir del chasis del Citroën SM y usar su motor V6 de tracción delantera. El resultado fue una herejía: un Maserati de tracción delantera con menos de 200 CV para mover dos toneladas. Era lento y complicadísimo de reparar. Tras la quiebra de Citroën, Peugeot mandó destruir casi todas las unidades. Solo sobrevivieron 13. 3. Saab-Lancia 600 (1980): El vikingo friolero Saab necesitaba un coche nuevo y Lancia tenía el Delta. Decidieron vender el Delta en Suecia con el logo de Saab, prometiendo "temperamento latino y calidad sueca". Fue un desastre. El acero italiano de la época se oxidaba con la sal de las carreteras suecas y la calefacción no estaba pensada para el clima ártico. Además, la electrónica italiana enloquecía con la humedad escandinava. Casi arruina la reputación de Saab. 4. Alfa Romeo Arna (1983): El mundo al revés La lógica dictaba unir la fiabilidad japonesa con el diseño italiano. Pero hicieron lo contrario: usaron la carrocería del soso Nissan Cherry y le metieron la mecánica y electrónica caprichosa del Alfasud. Para colmo, las carrocerías se fabricaban en Japón y se enviaban a Nápoles para ser ensambladas por mano de obra sin experiencia. El coche era feo y se rompía constantemente. 5. Cadillac Allanté (1987): El puente aéreo más caro GM quería un rival para el Mercedes SL y contrató a Pininfarina. El problema fue logístico: Pininfarina fabricaba las carrocerías en Turín y las enviaban a Detroit en aviones Boeing 747 modificados (56 carrocerías por vuelo). Esta locura, conocida como el "Puente Aéreo Allanté", encareció el coche hasta los 54.000 dólares. Aunque no era mal coche, el Mercedes llegaba en barco, era mejor y más barato. 6. Chrysler TC by Maserati (1989): Un pacto de amigos Lee Iacocca y Alejandro de Tomaso decidieron colaborar. Usaron la plataforma del humilde Dodge Daytona, enviaron las piezas a Milán y Maserati las ensambló con cuero caro. El resultado costaba 33.000 dólares pero parecía un Chrysler LeBaron de 12.000. Fue un fracaso económico monumental que costó a Chrysler más de 600 millones de dólares. 7. Honda Crossroad (1993): Cuando Honda pierde aceite En plena fiebre SUV, Honda no tenía un todoterreno. Su solución fue traer el Land Rover Discovery, ponerle la "H" de Honda y llamarlo Crossroad. No cambiaron nada más. El choque cultural fue brutal: los clientes japoneses, acostumbrados a la fiabilidad absoluta, se encontraron con un coche inglés que dejaba manchas de aceite y tenía fallos eléctricos. Honda tuvo que recomprarlos y pedir perdón. 8. Cadillac Catera (1997): El pato que hacía Zig Cadillac intentó rejuvenecer su imagen importando el Opel Omega alemán a EE. UU. El coche no estaba mal, pero el marketing fue atroz. Usaron el eslogan "The Caddy that Zigs" y una mascota: un pato de dibujos animados. Nadie entendió qué hacía un Opel con un pato en un concesionario de lujo. Además, sufría problemas de fiabilidad y sobrepeso. 9. Aston Martin Cygnet (2011): La trampa legal Para cumplir con las normativas de emisiones europeas, Aston Martin cogió el pequeño Toyota iQ, le puso una parrilla propia, forró el interior de cuero y lo vendió por casi 40.000 euros (el triple que el Toyota). Mecánicamente era idéntico (98 CV). Fue una maniobra cínica para bajar la media de emisiones de la marca, aunque hoy son piezas de colección por su rareza. 10. Mercedes-Benz Clase X (2017): La estrella estrellada Mercedes quiso entrar en el mercado de las Pick-up usando la base de la Nissan Navara. Le cambiaron el frontal y el interior, pero la gente se dio cuenta de que era una Nissan con sobreprecio. Nadie quiso pagar el "impuesto de la estrella" por una herramienta de trabajo japonesa disfrazada. La producción se canceló apenas dos años después de su lanzamiento.

Weken aan lieve woorden en lobby-bezoekjes aan het Witte Huis gingen eraan vooraf, maar topman Jensen Huang van Nvidia heeft het voor elkaar gekregen. Hij krijgt weer toegang tot de Chinese markt met zijn AI-chips. Tenminste, dat krijgt hij van de Verenigde Staten. Die staan het toe dat een van de meer geavanceerde AI-chips van Nvidia naar China worden geëxporteerd. Nu blijft er nog één probleem over: ook China moet nog overstag. Hoe kan Huang dat voor elkaar krijgen? En hoe blij moeten beleggers met deze eerste stap zijn? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over het jachtseizoen. De Europese Commissie trapt dat af. Het richt de pijlen nu op Alphabet en hun AI-overviews. Alphabet zou de data daarvoor aftroggelen bij hun gebruikers en misschien wel misbruik maken van hun macht in de zoekmachinemarkt. Opvallend, want ook Meta kreeg onlangs nog een nieuw onderzoek aan de broek vanuit Europa. Dus is Europa de aanval op Amerikaanse techbedrijven weer aan het opvoeren? Verder hoor je over Duitsland. Dat zou al akkoord zijn om een recordbedrag aan defensie-uitgaven te gaan doen. En we vertellen je wanneer jij hier in Europa in een zelfrijdende taxi kan stappen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LUKE BROWNING TO HIT THE TRACK IN ABU DHABI FP1 AND YOUNG DRIVER TEST Atlassian Williams Racing is pleased to share that Williams Racing Academy Driver Luke Browning will drive Alex Albon's FW47 in the first free practice session at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and will participate in the end-of-season Young Driver Test. Luke joined the Williams Racing Driver Academy in April 2023 following his stand-out 2022 season where he secured the GB3 Championship and won the 2022 Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award. Since joining the Academy he has continued this upward trajectory, winning the Macau Grand Prix in 2023, also taking pole position and the fastest lap, and finishing the 2024 FIA Formula 3 season in third with two race wins and a podium in Monaco. As part of the Williams Racing Driver Academy's proud tradition of giving young talent a path into F1, Luke has regularly driven in the Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) and simulator programmes with the aim of preparing him for the future. He has balanced this with a successful FIA Formula 2 campaign, currently occupying third position in the standings and going into the final two races of the season in a fierce battle for the title. Luke Browning: “It's going to be an unforgettable weekend in Abu Dhabi fighting for the Formula 2 title while getting back behind the wheel of the FW47, and it's a challenge I'm going to relish. The Young Driver Test will give me a final opportunity to help the team prepare for 2026 and I'm looking forward to being part of a Formula 1 weekend for the last time this season. Thank you to everyone at the Driver Academy and Williams for the trust once again.” Sven Smeets, Sporting Director, Atlassian Williams Racing: “Luke's development continues to impress us, and we are looking forward to closing the season with him behind the wheel of the FW47. We have an incredibly talented group of drivers in the Williams Racing Driver Academy, and it is important for us to give them the opportunity to progress as they move up the ladder. These final sessions of the season will give Luke another valuable chance to learn from Alex and Carlos, the wider team, and further embed with our trackside operation as he looks towards a bright future.” Mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP to Make Post-Restoration Debut at 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance  Harry Segrave beside the Sunbeam 1000 HP. (Photo: Courtesy of the National Motor. Museum) PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA (November 12, 2025)­­­­ — The mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP, the first car to achieve a land speed record of 200 mph, has been asleep for over 90 years. But a team of restorers at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, England, is now in the process of gently waking this giant—and if all goes as planned, the restored beast will make its US debut at the 2026 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance before attempting a centennial run at Daytona the following spring.    “The process of restoring a one-off car like this takes real dedication,” noted Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “There is no pattern to be followed. It takes time and research, effort and expertise. We are thrilled to know that the National Motor Museum intends to send the restored car to Pebble Beach, to share with enthusiasts here.”   The Sunbeam 1000 HP was built to compete in the race for speed. The 100 mph barrier was first broken in 1904, and then it took more than two decades to reach 150 mph—a record Malcolm Campbell achieved in July of 1925 at the wheel of a Sunbeam 350 HP. The Sunbeam 1000 HP, crafted around two of the marque's powerful 22.4-liter Matabele aero engines placed to the fore and aft of the vehicle, came into being less than two years later and proved to be revolutionary. Driving it on the smooth sands of Daytona Beach on March 29, 1927, Harry Segrave recorded a speed of 203.79 mph.   “This car has been at Beaulieu since before I was born and feels like a member of the family, but one I never expected to run again,” said Ralph, Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. “Watching the restoration take place has been fascinating as it has revealed so much I never knew about the car. It will be quite a thrill to have the car at Pebble Beach and is a great opportunity for us to wave the flag for the National Motor Museum!” The car's restoration is now well underway. The rear engine has already been disassembled, re-machined, restored, and refitted into the frame—and it was first fired up before an adoring crowd at the Beaulieu International Autojumble in early September. The museum team is now focused on restoring the front engine. When that, too, is back together and in place, the bodywork, which has already been restored, will be reinstalled.   “Over the last three and a half years, the Museum's team have worked tirelessly to make the mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP roar again, with help from a wide range of supporters, stakeholders and heritage engineering specialists,” said Jon Murden, Chief Executive of the National Motor Museum. “Having experienced the first of the car's remarkable engines running once more, we are all now thrilled at the prospect of the Sunbeam returning to the United States for the first time in a century.”   John, the second Baron Montagu of Beaulieu, was a motoring pioneer, who campaigned for the rights of early motorists. In the 1950s, his son Edward founded what is now the National Motor Museum to honor him, and that museum shares a long history with the Pebble Beach Concours. Edward first showed a car—his 1913 Alfonso Hispano-Suiza—at Pebble Beach in 1981, and the following year, he donated the Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy, which the Concours presents annually to the best British car shown on its competition field. Ralph, the current Lord Montagu, was in attendance at the Concours this year.   To learn more about the National Motor Museum and its efforts to restore the Sunbeam 1000 HP, go to www.nationalmotormuseum.org.uk/USA.

La primera selección que te ofrecemos son coches para viajar, de bajo consumo y con el máximo confort Si es lo que estás buscando, echa un vistazo a esos coches en el siguiente enlace: https://www.garajehermetico.com/ruteo/ Hoy hablamos de la transición al coche eléctrico como si fuera una revolución tecnológica sin precedentes. Pero, ¿y si te dijéramos que la verdadera y caótica guerra por el futuro de la movilidad ya se libró hace más de un siglo? Te proponemos un viaje fascinante en el tiempo, a los albores del siglo XX, para descubrir una transición infinitamente más compleja, hostil y sorprendente que la actual: el paso del caballo al automóvil. En este vídeo, descubrirás que el mundo no estaba en absoluto preparado para la llegada de estas máquinas ruidosas y "endemoniadas". No existían carreteras asfaltadas, ni gasolineras, ni semáforos, ni un simple código de circulación. Acompáñanos a explorar cómo se impuso el automóvil en una sociedad que durante milenios había dependido del músculo animal. 1. La Batalla de los Tres Monstruos: ¿Vapor, Electricidad o Gasolina? Lejos de la creencia popular de que el motor de combustión fue la única opción, la primera gran batalla por la movilidad se libró en tres frentes tecnológicos muy distintos. 2. Convenciendo al Granjero: Por Qué un Ford T Era Mejor que un Caballo La verdadera revolución no la ganaron los coches de lujo, sino los asequibles. Imagina ser un granjero en la América profunda de 1915. Tu caballo es tu herramienta, tu capital y tu compañero. ¿Cómo te convencía un vendedor de que un Ford Model T era mejor? La respuesta no estaba en la emoción, sino en las matemáticas y la pura lógica: Versatilidad Inesperada: Los ingeniosos granjeros descubrieron que, levantando una rueda trasera, el motor del Ford T se convertía en una unidad de potencia estacionaria capaz de accionar una bomba de agua, una sierra circular o una trilladora. ¡Era una navaja suiza con ruedas! Mientras el Ford T motorizaba América, Europa tuvo sus propios "coches del pueblo", como el Austin 7 en el Reino Unido, el Citroën Type A en Francia o el Opel 4 PS en Alemania. 3. La Pesadilla de Conducir en un Mundo Hostil -Los primeros conductores no eran simples chóferes, eran auténticos exploradores y mecánicos de emergencia. Infraestructura Inexistente: Fuera de los centros urbanos adoquinados, las "carreteras" eran caminos de tierra. -Navegación Surrealista: Sin señales ni mapas fiables, las primeras guías de viaje daban indicaciones como: "continúe 5 millas hasta un granero rojo, gire a la derecha y siga hasta el roble con la rama rota". -Hostilidad Oficial: La ley británica "Red Flag Act", vigente hasta 1896, obligaba a que un hombre caminara delante del coche con una bandera roja para advertir del peligro, limitando la velocidad a 3 km/h. Esta ley frenó la industria británica durante décadas. 4. El Arte Oscuro de la Conducción Manejar uno de los primeros coches era un desafío físico y mental. El arranque con manivela podía provocar la temida "fractura del chófer" si el motor daba una "coz". El Ford T, a pesar de su supuesta sencillez, se manejaba con tres pedales (embrague/primera/segunda, marcha atrás y freno a la transmisión) y dos palancas en el volante para el acelerador y el avance del encendido. Cambiar de marcha sin destruir la caja de cambios requería dominar la compleja técnica del "doble embrague". 5. Del Estiércol al Caos: La Anarquía Urbana Las ciudades eran un campo de batalla donde peatones, carros de caballos, tranvías y los nuevos automóviles competían por el espacio sin reglas, semáforos ni señales. Irónicamente, el coche de gasolina fue visto inicialmente como un salvador ecológico. En 1900, los 100.000 caballos de Nueva York generaban más de 1.200 toneladas de estiércol al día. El automóvil prometía limpiar las calles. Poco a poco, la necesidad impuso el orden con la llegada de los primeros semáforos y señales de STOP en la década de 1920. La transición del caballo al coche fue mucho más que un cambio tecnológico; fue una revolución cultural y social que se impuso por su abrumadora eficiencia, regalándonos una libertad de movimiento sin precedentes y moldeando el mundo en el que vivimos hoy.

Verás podcast, alguno de GH, donde contamos cuáles son las averías graves más frecuentes y cómo evitarlas. Y verás podcast, alguno de GH, en los que te contamos que coches tienen más averías graves. Pero no verás podcast sobre averías graves, frecuentes, cómo evitarlas y que coches las padecen… ¿es que no había ninguno? … ¡Ahora sí! ¡Aquí lo tienes! En este vídeo definitivo de Garaje Hermético, te damos el "poder de la prevención". No solo te desvelamos cuáles son las averías más catastróficas y costosas que puede sufrir tu coche, sino que te explicamos de forma clara por qué ocurren, cómo puedes evitarlas con un mantenimiento adecuado y buenos hábitos, y, lo más importante, te señalamos qué modelos y motores específicos han demostrado ser más propensos a sufrirlas. No se trata de asustar, sino de informar. Conocer los puntos débiles de ciertos diseños te convierte en un propietario más inteligente y te permite ahorrar una fortuna en reparaciones. ¡El mejor mecánico es el que no se necesita! 1. La Caja de Cambios: Analizamos una de las reparaciones más temidas, con costes que pueden superar los 7.000 €. Te explicamos por qué la falta de mantenimiento del aceite de la transmisión es fatal y qué modelos con cajas DSG DQ200 (Grupo VAG), Powershift (Ford) y CVT Jatco (Nissan, Renault) tuvieron una fiabilidad preocupante. 2. La Correa de Distribución: La rotura que puede destrozar tu motor por completo. Hablamos del polémico motor 1.2 PureTech de Stellantis (Peugeot, Citroën, Opel) y su correa bañada en aceite que se degrada, causando averías gravísimas que pueden afectar hasta a los frenos. También mencionamos los problemas iniciales del 1.0 EcoBoost de Ford. Aprende por qué es vital seguir el mantenimiento a rajatabla e incluso adelantarlo. 3. La Rotura de Culata: Un sobrecalentamiento puede llevar a una factura de más de 5.000 €. Te enseñamos a detectar los síntomas, como la emulsión en el tapón del aceite, y repasamos la fama de modelos como los Subaru con motor Bóxer EJ25, el motor "Prince" 1.6 THP de MINI/PSA y la mítica Serie K de Rover. 4. El Filtro de Partículas (DPF): El talón de Aquiles de los diésel modernos, sobre todo si haces mucha ciudad. Una avería de 2.500 € que se puede prevenir. Te explicamos cómo forzar la regeneración y por qué los diésel Skyactiv-D de Mazda y los 2.0 TDi del Grupo Volkswagen (2006-2008) dieron tantos quebraderos de cabeza. 5. El Gripado del Motor: La avería definitiva, con un coste que puede alcanzar los 10.000 €. La causa casi siempre es la misma: falta de aceite. Ponemos el foco en el famoso motor N47 de BMW (118d, 320d) y en el sorprendente consumo de aceite de los motores 2.0 TFSI EA888 del Grupo Volkswagen (Audi A4, VW Golf GTI). 6. Los Inyectores: Una reparación que en los sistemas diésel modernos puede superar los 4.000 €. La calidad del combustible es clave. Recordamos los notorios fallos de los inyectores piezoeléctricos Siemens en los motores 2.0 TDi Inyector-Bomba (BKP) del Grupo Volkswagen, la sensibilidad de los sistemas Delphi en los Ford TDCi y los problemas en algunos 1.5 dCi de Renault. 7. El Turbocompresor: Una pieza esencial para la potencia, cuya avería puede costar más de 3.000 €. Te damos los consejos de oro: usar aceite de calidad y, sobre todo, respetar los tiempos de calentamiento y enfriamiento. Analizamos la infame fama de "rompe-turbos" del motor 1.9 dCi de Renault y los problemas de lubricación en los 1.6 HDi/TDCi de PSA y Ford. 8. El Volante Bimasa: La pieza que absorbe las vibraciones en muchos coches modernos y cuya sustitución, junto al embrague, supera los 1.500 €. Te explicamos cómo una mala conducción (conducir a muy bajas revoluciones) acorta su vida drásticamente. Mencionamos su desgaste habitual en los diésel de alto par como los TDi del Grupo Volkswagen, los TDCi de Ford y los diésel de BMW. Como verás, muchas de estas averías tienen un origen común que se puede controlar: un mantenimiento deficiente y malos hábitos de conducción. Conocer los puntos débiles de tu coche y ser proactivo es la mejor inversión que puedes hacer. No dejes la salud de tu coche al azar. Con la información de este vídeo, tienes el poder de tomar el control, anticiparte a los problemas y evitar que una avería grave te arruine el mes.
