The timing points to 2029-2030, matching the expiry of VW's production deal with Ford, and talks with Ford about the next generation's underpinnings are still ongoing.MG GO! PREVIEWS SMALL EV FOR 2027MG has unveiled the GO! concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a roughly four-metre B-segment electric hatchback designed at SAIC's U.K. studio that borrows MGB GT grille lines and vertical taillamp elements, with production due in 2027 and possibly badged MG 2. MG admits the show car is a "dressed up" version that will lose its bulging fenders, oversized wheels, tow hooks and diffuser, and while technical details are unconfirmed, industry coverage points to MG's front-drive E3/Urban architecture with modest LFP batteries to rival the Renault 5 E-Tech and Mini Cooper Electric.TESLA OPENS FIRST PUBLIC SEMI MEGACHARGERTesla has opened its first public Megacharger station for Semi fleets in Bloomington, California, about an hour east of Los Angeles, with six stalls each capable of up to 1.2 MW and access for all Tesla Semi commercial fleet customers. The launch was confirmed by Tesla Charging on X and marked with a ribbon-cutting attended by trucking, fleet and charging figures, with the San Bernardino County site chosen for its position on the freight corridor linking the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Southern California's warehouse network.USED EVS OUTPACE PETROL CARS IN BRITAINSteep fuel prices have driven a surge in British used-EV demand, with Autotrader's July fastest-selling ranking filled entirely by electrified models for the first time — eight of them fully electric, double last year's tally — led by the MG ZS at 13 days against a 24-day average for used EVs and 30 days across all fuel types. Average used-EV prices rose 1.6% year-on-year to £24,662 ($33,225), the first increase since December 2022, and Autotrader's Marc Palmer says that unlike past Middle East-driven spikes tied to events such as the US-Israeli war on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz closure, this demand has been sustained while the ten slowest sellers were all petrol or diesel.LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS LEAD GERMAN EV SUBSIDY APPROVALSHandelsblatt reports that 48% of approvals under Germany's new EV subsidy scheme have gone to households with taxable income up to €45,000 ($51,300), according to data from a parliamentary inquiry by Left Party lawmaker Jorrit Bosch, with lower-income buyers eligible for up to €6,000 ($6,840) on new BEVs, range-extenders and select plug-in hybrids depending on vehicle type, income and family size. The programme launched in January to replace the flat-rate scheme scrapped abruptly in late 2023, and environment ministry figures show foreign manufacturers took most of the support, with only two of the 14 most-subsidised brands being German as Germany's EV fleet passed 2.2 million by early April 2026.SUBARU CUTS 2027 SOLTERRA PRICE IN CANADASubaru Canada has cut the 2027 Solterra's starting MSRP to $47,995, $4,500 below the 2026 model and just under the country's $50,000 EVAP threshold, which restores its eligibility for the federal rebate worth up to $5,000. Subaru quotes an effective starting figure of $46,727 with delivery, dealer fees and the rebate included, against $55,285 for the current 2026 car, with the updated model due at Canadian dealerships later this year.CANADA CLEARS 6,531 CHINA-MADE EV IMPORTSCanada had imported 6,531 China-made EVs by July 14, leaving roughly 75% of the 24,500-vehicle first-half quota unused, with arrivals starting in May and building through June and July but falling well short of the allowance. Ottawa will keep the current quota open through August before adding a further 24,500 vehicles plus any unused first-half volume for September through February 2027; Global Affairs Canada does not break the figures down by brand, but Shanghai-built Tesla Model 3s are presumed to dominate, Lotus has accounted for nearly two dozen and Polestar is expected to resume Polestar 2 imports in August.DONGFENG MOVES INTO CANADIAN EV MARKETDongfeng plans to enter Canada's EV market under the low-tariff quota created by Mark Carney's deal with China earlier this year, showing the Vigo and Nammi Box 01 to buyers at an Old Port event in Montreal this week while it completes regulatory certification. North World Industry will handle distribution, and the company is starting with consumer awareness before sales, aiming to launch its first two models next year.KIA PITCHES SMALL EV VAN FOR CANADIAN FLEETSKia Canada has pitched the PV5 as a compact electric cargo van for small businesses and urban fleets, offering about 160 cubic feet of cargo volume and targeting tradespeople, last-mile delivery firms and telecom operators that do not need a full-size vehicle. The real test may be size rather than range or price, given GM pulled its Ontario-built BrightDrop vans — offering 400 or 600 cubic feet — from the market last fall after weak sales, while Kia calls the smaller PV5 an answer to an "unmet need".GEELY SETS E2 PRICE BELOW €20,000 IN ITALYGeely will launch the E2 small electric hatchback in Italy in October at a promotional €19,900, undercutting the Citroen e-C3 at €20,490 and sitting just above the BYD Dolphin Surf at €19,790; the same car is sold as the EX2 in the U.K. and the Xingyuan in China, where it was last year's best-selling model with 160,800 wholesale deliveries in the first five months of this year. In Europe's small-EV class the Renault 5 E-Tech leads with 36,575 sales, up 35%, ahead of the e-C3 on 17,859 (down 11%), the Dolphin Surf on 15,072 and the Peugeot e-208 on 10,546, up 23%.HOYMILES LAUNCHES UL 3700 BALCONY SOLAR INVERTERHoymiles has launched the HiFlow Pro, which it says is the first US microinverter certified under UL 3700, the new safety standard for plug-in balcony solar, a model already popular in Europe — especially Germany — that lets homeowners and renters run portable panels through a standard outlet instead of a rooftop install. Eight states had signed plug-in solar bills into law as of July 2026 — Utah, Maine, Virginia, Maryland, Colorado, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire — with New York's awaiting the governor's signature as of July 16 and nearly 30 states having introduced legislation, while safeguards must prevent the reversed power flow from feeding the grid during outages; a single 360W unit produces up to 721.08 kWh a year and up to four can run in parallel across separate outlets.RUSSIAN FUEL SHORTAGES PUSH DRIVERS TO EVSUkrainian strikes on energy targets have tightened Russian fuel supplies, bringing hours-long queues and rising gasoline and diesel prices that are pushing some motorists towards electric cars, including engineer Oksana Yasinskaya, 36, who told Automotive News the queues settled her decision to buy an EV and that she values not wasting hours on what she called a humiliating wait, with some drivers queuing late at night. Autostat says EV and plug-in hybrid sales accelerated in June as shortages worsened and expects the tiny market to grow if the crisis drags on, though it still leans on used cars rather than fresh showroom demand.

Na slovenskom online autobazáre Autobazar.EU sa aktuálne nachádza 250 inzerátov osobných vozidiel s nájazdom nad 400-tisíc kilometrov – teda áut, ktoré prešli vzdialenosť rovnajúcu sa viac než desiatim cestám okolo Zeme. Analýza tejto ponuky ukazuje jasný vzorec: v lukratívnom klube suverénne dominuje diesel a spomedzi značiek najčastejšie Škoda, konkrétne model Octavia. Analýzu vypracoval motoristický novinár Erik Stríž.Diesel má drvivú prevahuZo skúmaných 250 inzerátov má až 227 vozidiel, teda 90,8 %, naftový motor. Benzínových áut je len 18 (7,2 %) a zvyšných päť jazdí na LPG v kombinácii s benzínom.Tento pomer len potvrdzuje dlhodobo známy fakt, že naftové motory – najmä osvedčené jednotky typu 1.9 TDI, 2.0 TDI, TDCi či CDI – boli po desaťročia konštruované s dôrazom na vysoké ročné nájazdy a dlhú životnosť motora, čo z nich robilo prirodzenú voľbu pre firemné vozové parky, taxislužby aj vodičov s dennou dochádzkou na veľké vzdialenosti.Benzínové motory sa medzi autami s vysokým nájazdom objavujú výrazne zriedkavejšie, hoci analýza ukazuje, že pokiaľ sa už na takom vysokom kilometrovníku objavia, ich priemerný nájazd v tejto skupine nie je nižší než pri dieseloch.Škoda a Volkswagen spolu tvoria tretinu ponukyZastúpenie značiek jednoznačne kopíruje ich dlhodobú obľubu na slovenskom trhu. Najviac inzerátov patrí Volkswagenu (42) a Škode (41), spolu teda takmer tretina (33 %) všetkých vozidiel s nájazdom nad 400-tisíc km. Nasleduje Mercedes-Benz (32 áut, 12,8 %), Audi (22), BMW (18), Ford a Volvo (po 12) a Renault (10). Zvyšok ponuky je rozdelený medzi desiatky ďalších značiek.Pri pohľade na konkrétne modely jednoznačne vyniká Škoda Octavia – tvorí až 68 % všetkých inzerátov tejto značky (28 zo 41) a s veľkým náskokom je najčastejším modelom na trhu vysokých nájazdov vôbec.Druhá je Škoda Superb (11 kusov). Medzi ďalšie najfrekventovanejšie modelové rady patria Volkswagen Passat, Mercedes-Benz Triedy E, Audi A6, BMW radu 5, Volkswagen Golf a Volkswagen Sharan.Ide prevažne o modely strednej a vyššej strednej triedy, ktoré boli po dlhé roky obľúbenou voľbou firemných flotíl a nemeckého aj domáceho dovozu.Priemerný vek 15 rokov, no výnimky idú aj proti prúduPriemerný rok výroby skúmaných vozidiel je 2011, čo zodpovedá priemernému veku približne 15 rokov. Najstarším zastúpeným vozidlom je BMW radu 3 z roku 1987, no zaujímavosťou je, že hranicu 400-tisíc kilometrov v ponuke prekonalo aj niekoľko výrazne mladších vozidiel z rokov 2020 až 2023 – typicky ide o bývalé firemné, lízingové alebo dovozové vozidlá s intenzívnym ročným nájazdom.Priemerný nájazd v celej skupine dosahuje 456-tisíc kilometrov, medián je 437-tisíc km. Podľa značiek dosahuje najvyšší priemerný nájazd Mercedes-Benz (takmer 500-tisíc km), nasledovaný Volvom a Škodou. Tento údaj je však potrebné čítať opatrne – nejde o dôkaz vyššej technickej odolnosti konkrétnej značky, keďže vzorka odráža len aktuálnu ponuku inzerátov, nie štatistiku skutočnej životnosti vozového parku.Kombi je kráľom vysokých nájazdovZ hľadiska karosérie jednoznačne prevažujú kombi vozidlá (31 % ponuky) – logicky, keďže ide o karosériu tradične spájanú s vyšším ročným nájazdom, firemným využitím aj rodinami s deťmi. Nasledujú sedan (19 %) a SUV (15 %), pričom zvyšok ponuky tvoria dodávky, MPV, hatchbacky a iné typy karosérií.Manuálna prevodovka mierne prevažuje nad automatickou (57 % oproti 41 %), pričom zvyšné 2 % tvoria iné alebo neuvedené typy, čo opäť súvisí s vekom vozidiel – automatické prevodovky sa v nižších a stredných triedach masovo presadili až v poslednej dekáde.Čo z toho vyplýva pre kupujúcichAnalýza potvrdzuje, že diesel spojený s osvedčenými modelmi ako Škoda Octavia, Volkswagen Passat či Mercedes Triedy E si dodnes drží povesť „nezničiteľného" auta schopného zvládnuť aj státisíce kilometrov.Zároveň treba pripomenúť, že vysoký nájazd sám osebe nehovorí nič o technickom stave konkrétneho kusu – rozhodujúca je história servisu, kvalita údržby a doklady o priebehu najazdených kilometrov. Pri kúpe vozidla s nájazdom nad 400-tisíc kilometrov preto odborníci odporúčajú dôkladnú kontrolu histórie vozidla a vykonanie komplexného preverenia vozidla nezávislým technikom.K metodike analýzyAnalýza vychádza z ponuky portálu Autobazar.EU k 8. júlu 2026 – z filtra osobných vozidiel s nájazdom od 400 000 km (250 inzerátov). Zastúpenie značiek, paliva, karosérie a prevodovky vychádza z celej množiny 250 inzerátov, podrobnejšie štatistiky nájazdu podľa modelov zo vzorky 236 z nich. Zvyšné inzeráty boli z hodnotenia vylúčené, keďže išlo o evidentné chybne uvedené údaje alebo mali iné vážne dôvody na nezaradenie do výberu.

En el capítulo 1.155 de La Estrategia del Día Argentina, Francisco Aldaya entrevista a Pablo Sibilla, presidente y CEO de Renault Argentina. El ejecutivo explica por qué un auto en la Argentina cuesta más que en Europa o Estados Unidos —el 54% de su valor son impuestos— y qué tendría que pasar para que los precios bajen de forma contundente. También detalla la traba regulatoria que demoró el despliegue de la infraestructura de carga para vehículos eléctricos, el cupo de importación con tope FOB de US$16.000 y el avance de las marcas chinas en el mercado local. Además, la apuesta exportadora de la pickup Niagara, que se fabricará únicamente en la Argentina, la especialización nacional en vehículos utilitarios frente a Brasil, el cambio de tendencia hacia los híbridos, la caída del consumo y el impacto de la automatización sobre el empleo que ofrece la industria automotriz.

It being the Tuesday after the British GP, Peter begins this livestream by asking Mark about the key elements of the race - the component failure on Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes; Max Verstappen's DRS drama; and the relatively low top speeds at Silverstone (with associated discordant engine notes).  Mark and Peter then field a huge number of great questions and comments from viewers.  Lots of fun, as ever.Mark Slade has served as Race Engineer and Chief Engineer at McLaren, Mercedes, Renault and Haas.

Renault a annoncé vendredi 10 juillet avoir produit plus d'un million de véhicules électriques en France depuis 2010 et le lancement de la Zoé et du Kangoo ZE. Après avoir investi 13 milliards d'euros depuis 2021, le constructeur automobile français prévoit de doubler la mise à "moyen terme".

On découvre le métier d'auteur et narrateur d'audiodescription, qui consiste à décrire les images des œuvres audiovisuelles, à créer une version audio de la vidéo. Le logo AD que l'on voit parfois au début des films signifie que le film est disponible en audio description. Très peu mis en avant, ce métier est pourtant essentiel pour les personnes malvoyantes et non voyantes. Pour en parler on reçoit Morgan Renault, auteur et narrateur d'audiodescription. Et en deuxième partie d'émission, on vous propose d'écouter le reportage de la série “Déjà demain : les territoires face aux changements climatiques” réalisé par la Frap et la Corlab. Ce septième épisode invite à combattre le réchauffement climatique en plantant des arbres. Playlist : 77 Blackout > Brooklyn Funks Essential /

En este nuevo episodio de AutoFM repasamos toda la actualidad del mundo del motor con análisis, entrevistas y debates sobre algunas de las noticias más importantes de la semana. Hablamos del revolucionario BMW X5 con cinco tecnologías de propulsión, de la sentencia que podría cambiar el mercado del coche eléctrico, del regreso de la conducción más pura con Ferrari, del futuro del diésel, de seguridad vial, Fórmula 1, autocaravanas y mucho más junto a todo el equipo habitual de AutoFM. Fernando Rivas abre el programa analizando el nuevo BMW X5, un modelo que marcará un antes y un después en la estrategia de BMW al convertirse en el primer SUV de la marca que ofrecerá hasta cinco sistemas de propulsión diferentes, incluyendo motores de combustión, híbridos enchufables, eléctricos e hidrógeno. También debatimos sobre la polémica sentencia de un juez alemán que ha permitido a un cliente devolver su coche eléctrico por no alcanzar la autonomía esperada. Una decisión que puede sentar un importante precedente para fabricantes, concesionarios y compradores de vehículos eléctricos. Los amantes de la conducción disfrutarán con uno de los grandes protagonistas de la semana: el Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale. Repasamos todos los detalles de esta espectacular versión que recupera la esencia de los deportivos más puros de Maranello y os contamos nuestras impresiones acompañadas de abundante material gráfico y de vídeo. Analizamos además la despedida de una de las tecnologías más influyentes de la historia reciente del automóvil: el motor TDI del Grupo Volkswagen. Recordamos cómo revolucionó el mercado europeo y reflexionamos sobre el legado que deja tras décadas siendo referencia entre los motores diésel. En nuestro espacio de Seguridad Vial Hyundai, Fernando Rivas conversa con José Lagunar e Iván Mingo sobre el estado actual del carnet por puntos, sus principales lagunas, las mejoras que estudia la DGT y si realmente sigue siendo una herramienta eficaz para mejorar la seguridad en nuestras carreteras. También recibimos a Iván Vicario para hablar de su nuevo libro dedicado a los españoles en la Fórmula 1, una obra que repasa la historia de los pilotos que han representado a nuestro país en la máxima categoría del automovilismo. Con la llegada del verano analizamos el creciente conflicto entre los usuarios de autocaravanas y numerosos ayuntamientos, repasando qué dice realmente la normativa y dónde están los principales focos de enfrentamiento. Como cada semana, Rubén Gómez Burillo nos sorprende con una nueva selección de curiosidades del mundo del automóvil, demostrando una vez más que este sector nunca deja de esconder historias sorprendentes. Comentamos también un reciente estudio que revela que el 40% de los problemas detectados en los coches nuevos están relacionados con las pantallas y los sistemas multimedia, una tendencia que refleja el creciente cansancio de muchos conductores con el exceso de digitalización. Ponemos el foco igualmente en la estrategia industrial de Renault y en cómo Marruecos se ha convertido en una pieza clave para fabricar vehículos de forma más competitiva gracias a sus costes, su logística y sus ventajas para la producción. Cerramos el programa con un nuevo espacio de TotalEnergies en el que resolvemos una de las dudas más habituales entre los motoristas: si se puede utilizar aceite de coche en una moto. Explicamos las diferencias entre ambos lubricantes y por qué una decisión aparentemente sencilla puede terminar provocando averías importantes en el embrague, la caja de cambios o el motor. Participan en este episodio Fernando Rivas, José Lagunar, Antonio R Vaquerizo, Iván Mingo, Iván Vicario, Álex Moya, Javier Quilón y Rubén Gómez Burillo.

FOLLOW UP: MOTOR FINANCE COMPENSATION SCHEME PAUSEDIn what should be a surprise to no one following the story, thanks to the legal challenges of the Financial Conduct Authority's proposed compensation scheme for customers who were impacted by illegal practices by those who arranged their finance, that this has now been partially paused. Companies are to proceed with claims as far as they can before hitting the areas under review, as well as tell those where their claim has failed.

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) rose to a market share of 30% for the month, but still only 25% year to date. There was also a jump in private registrations. The Top 10 most registered models has some surprising cars, especially with the claimed number of Tesla's.

The Alfa engine has been tuned to provide, in normal Stradale trim, 612bhp, but if you want the track focused Trofeo model there is 740bhp. Weight has been stripped out too, with the Stradale coming in at 1590kg and the Trofeo ending up at 1490kg. The company is at pains to say this is not a restomod or replica, but how such a car could look today.

Après les taxes sur les véhicules électriques chinois, l'Union européenne envisage de nouvelles barrières douanières pour contrer cette fois l'arrivée massive des automobiles hybrides rechargeables. La Chine a acquis, ces dernières années dans ce segment, une expertise et une compétitivité auxquelles les constructeurs européens ont bien du mal à répondre. C'est le segment qui attire les regards ces derniers mois : les hybrides rechargeables grignotent à toute vitesse des parts de marché. Elles représentent désormais près de 10% des ventes de véhicules neufs en Europe, avec des progressions très rapides en Italie, +85% ou en Espagne, +45%, depuis le début de l'année. Or ce succès est une nouvelle fois porté avant tout par les modèles chinois qui se sont engouffrés dans un secteur épargné par les droits de douane supplémentaires, contrairement aux véhicules purement électriques. « Les véhicules hybrides rechargeables chinois sont ultra-compétitifs, d'autant plus qu'il s'agit de "super-hybrides", des modèles à propulsion essentiellement électrique avec un complément thermique, ce qui n'est pas le cas de leurs concurrents européens », explique Gianmarco Guadalupi, consultant automobile pour le cabinet Efeso, « en 2024, personne n'avait entendu parler des hybrides rechargeables chinois, ils sont arrivés sur le marché européen en 2025 et cette année, BYD est devenu leader sur ce segment ». Protection ou simple respiration pour les constructeurs européens ? Ces nouvelles taxes douanières sont accueillies favorablement par les géants européens de l'automobile, notamment allemands, pourtant pas très fans des droits de douane habituellement. Mais les Mercedes et BMW misent beaucoup sur les hybrides rechargeables pour relancer le marché premium. Le problème, c'est qu'il est peut-être déjà trop tard. Les véhicules chinois restent en effet compétitifs même avec des taxes supplémentaires, ce qui a déjà été constaté pour les voitures 100% électriques. « L'Europe manque d'une vision stratégique sur l'industrie automobile, note Gianmarco Guadalupi. Pour l'instant, l'objectif est de ralentir l'arrivée des véhicules chinois en espérant que les constructeurs européens rattrapent leur retard d'ici trois ou quatre ans, mais la vague venue de Chine ne pourra pas être arrêtée. » Des barrières douanières pour préserver les actionnaires ? Une vague d'autant plus difficile à ralentir que la Chine semble avoir déjà anticipé le problème. Des constructeurs chinois ont d'ores et déjà noué des alliances industrielles pour contourner les barrières douanières. Dongfeng va ainsi faire produire dans l'usine Stellantis de Rennes des modèles de sa marque premium Voyah, dont pourraient faire partie des hybrides rechargeables. La mise en place de nouvelles taxes ne paraît donc pas en mesure d'inverser la donne, et au-delà du répit potentiel accordé aux constructeurs européens, le délégué CGT Renault, Florent Grimaldi, y voit surtout une stratégie financière : « Les barrières douanières, ça protège les actionnaires qui peuvent obtenir un délai supplémentaire pour vendre leurs parts ou encaisser les dividendes, mais ça ne protège absolument pas l'outil industriel et les salariés. » Car la grande crainte des syndicats des constructeurs européens, c'est que ce bras de fer aboutisse surtout à des négociations entre constructeurs européens et chinois pour intégrer la technologie ou des pièces venues de Chine dans les véhicules français, allemands ou italiens. Les conséquences pourraient être sévères pour l'emploi, en particulier dans la recherche et le développement. Renault a ainsi confirmé jeudi la suppression de 600 postes d'ingénieurs en France, dans le cadre d'un plan mondial de restructuration de son département R&D. Au total, 2 400 postes vont être supprimés, particulièrement en Roumanie, au Brésil ou au Maroc.

Flavio Briatore and ‘Team Enstone' go back a long way.As Benetton in the 90's, he led them to multiple World Championships with Michael Schumacher. And as Renault in the 2000s, he did the same with Fernando Alonso. So how can he achieve similar success with Alpine?Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Flavio talks about the progress the team have made since he became Executive Advisor, what he makes of his drivers Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto, and whether he has a timescale for Alpine to be fighting for titles.Flavio also shares some funny anecdotes about replacing Jenson Button with Alonso at Renault, firing Jackie Stewart and his criticism of Franco in the latest series of Drive to Survive. Plus, Flav tells Tom about the arrival of Gucci as the team's main sponsor in 2027.This episode is sponsored by: CarGurus: go to cargurus.co.uk for complete vehicle details without any surprises

La última sesión de la semana deja una fotografía de mercado claramente favorable para la renta variable. En Europa, aunque algunos índices como el DAX o el CAC 40 muestran un peor comportamiento, el protagonismo cae sobre el IBEX 35, el EuroStoxx 50 y, especialmente, el sector bancario europeo, que mantienen una tendencia claramente alcista. El selectivo español cotiza en torno a los 19.364 puntos, consolidando las ganancias acumuladas en las últimas semanas. Al otro lado del Atlántico, el escenario continúa siendo positivo. Los principales índices estadounidenses siguen instalados en tendencia alcista y muy cerca de máximos históricos. Destaca especialmente el índice de semiconductores de Filadelfia, que continúa liderando las subidas gracias al impulso de todo el ecosistema vinculado a la inteligencia artificial y la tecnología. Sin embargo, el buen tono no se limita al sector tecnológico, ya que el S&P 500 y el Nasdaq apenas se han alejado de sus máximos pese a las recientes tomas de beneficios. Según Roberto Moro, el mercado ha recuperado prácticamente el mismo escenario que existía antes de que las tensiones geopolíticas en Oriente Medio alteraran temporalmente el sentimiento inversor. Ni los conflictos internacionales ni la volatilidad asociada han sido capaces de deteriorar una tendencia de fondo que sigue siendo constructiva tanto en Europa como en Estados Unidos. En este contexto, Moro plantea una estrategia de pares destinada a reducir la exposición a los movimientos generales del mercado. La propuesta consiste en comprar un ETF vinculado al sector financiero europeo y, simultáneamente, abrir una posición equivalente mediante un ETF inverso sobre el sector automovilístico europeo. Basado en la fortaleza relativa que están mostrando los bancos frente a unas compañías automovilísticas que continúan atravesando un momento complicado. Valores como BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Renault o Stellantis siguen mostrando debilidad técnica y un comportamiento claramente inferior al del sector financiero. La estrategia busca aprovechar que esta divergencia continúe durante las próximas semanas, independientemente de la dirección general que adopten las bolsas, reduciendo parte de la volatilidad a una posición tradicional de mercado.

Renault, Volkswagen o Mercedes son sólo algunos de los nombres dentro del sector del automóvil que se han lanzado por los contratos de defensa ante el incremento de gasto en este sector en Europa

General Motors figura hoy en nuestro radar porque, según informa The Wall Street Journal, mantiene conversaciones con la empresa de defensa Lockheed Martin para proporcionarle componentes destinados a sus sistemas armamentísticos. De acuerdo con el periódico, la automovilística fabricaría piezas de uso general con el objetivo de ayudar al contratista a incrementar la producción de munición. Este posible acuerdo podría formar parte de una nueva estrategia tanto de General Motors como del sector automotriz en su conjunto. Su consejera delegada, Mary Barra, ha dialogado con la Administración Trump sobre la posibilidad de reforzar su participación en la industria de defensa. El contexto actual parece propicio para que estas compañías se involucren más directamente en la fabricación militar. Las reservas de armamento de Estados Unidos se encuentran en niveles bajos, lo que ha llevado al Departamento de Defensa a buscar empresas capaces de acelerar la producción. A esto se suma la situación geopolítica, con el conflicto entre Irán y Estados Unidos aún sin resolverse y la guerra entre Ucrania y Rusia, factores que podrían impulsar a estas empresas a explorar nuevas oportunidades de negocio. En este escenario es donde entra en juego General Motors. La compañía mantiene una estrecha relación con el Gobierno estadounidense. Es responsable de la fabricación del vehículo presidencial conocido como “The Beast”, utilizado por el presidente Trump. Este Cadillac tiene un coste aproximado de un millón y medio de dólares, y el contrato total alcanza los 15 millones, incluyendo varias unidades. Asimismo, General Motors ha suministrado al Pentágono distintos vehículos tácticos de movilidad, como el Infantry Squad Vehicle, cuyo contrato supera los 200 millones de dólares, además del ISV-Utility y el Suburban Shield. General Motors no es la única automovilística que ha encontrado en el sector de defensa una vía adicional de ingresos. Junto a ella, Jaguar Land Rover compite por un contrato de 900 millones de libras para fabricar camiones militares para el ejército británico. Por su parte, Mercedes y Renault, a través de sus divisiones especializadas, producen vehículos para diferentes ejércitos, mientras que otras compañías como Ford o Toyota han visto cómo sus modelos han sido utilizados por fuerzas militares de varios países.

Heute beschäftigen wir uns nicht nur mit einem Auto, sondern mit einem ganzen, großen Land. Mit einem, das so wunderbare Worte wie Avantgarde, Revolution oder auch Courage hervorgebracht hat. Und immer wieder Autos, zu denen jede dieser Vokabeln passt. Dass das auch zum einen oder anderen Malheur führen kann, zeigt die Geschichte des Renault Vel Satis. Der wollte vor über 20 Jahren ganz anders sein als alle seine Wettbewerber. Und er floppte damit ganz furchtbar. Doch wie stehen seine Chancen für die späte Karriere als Sammlerstück? Darüber unterhalten sich jetzt Frank Otero Molanes, Jens Seltrecht und Christian Steiger.Executive Producer: Christoph Falke & Ruben Schulze-FröhlichProjektleitung: Lukas HambrechtSounddesign & Produktion: Fabian SchäfflerMarketing und Ansprechpartner: Bastian SchonauerCopyrights Cover: www.oldtimer-markt.de Hosted on Acast.

Het is gelukt: er ligt een deal tussen Iran en de VS. Komende vrijdag wordt 'ie ondertekend in Zwitserland. Dan krijgen we ook de details. Voor nu is er nog een hoop onduidelijk, bovendien moet een deel ook nog ná het tekenen worden uitonderhandeld. Toch stelt het beleggers, zeker in de VS, vast gerust. Amerikaanse beurzen staan fors hoger. Is dat terecht of voorbarig? We zoeken het voor je uit. Gaan we je ook vertellen over de nieuwste tegenslag van Anthropic. De twee paradepaardjes van het bedrijf, AI-modellen Fable en Mythos, mogen de VS niet meer uit door een ingreep van de Amerikaanse overheid. Het zoveelste voorbeeld van de bekoelde relatie tussen die twee en bovendien een pijnlijke tegenvaller zo vlak voor de aanstaande beursgang. In hoeverre die daarmee ook in gevaar komt, gaan we ook bespreken. Hoor je ook nog over: Wéér een social media verbod en in hoeverre dat een gevaar is voor social media bedrijven Een kans in defensie voor een Frans autobedrijf RvC's die aandeelhouders passeren in hun bonusbeleid Nieuwe importheffingen van Donald Trump Te gast: Jean-Paul van Oudheusden van eToro en Markets Are Everywhere BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A French GT champion's skull turns up in a remote forest. In Paris, two hooded intelligence operatives sweat through a heatwave in a stolen Renault with a silencer made from an applesauce pouch. Nearby, a life coach in the suburbs learns the bounty on her head is 70 grand, plus tax. Brad is here to share the intoxicating pleasure of untangling a real-life Masonic conspiracy, dubbed “The Athanor Affair.” It's the unfolding story of a Freemason lodge outside Paris that ran a murder-for-hire service staffed by government spooks playing James Bond, if Bond were a moron. Twenty-two people are on trial at this exact moment, in one of France's most bizarre court cases in modern times. Listen now, before the body count rises. Next week Travis will take us through another Masonic murder, set in the more distant past, in Part II.

Atmosferci v novi seriji podcasta "POD HAVBO" s pomočjo strokovnjakov raziskujemo inženirsko domišljijo in skrivnosti strojev ter strojnih rešitev vseh vrst.V prvi epizodi tehniškega podcasta Pod havbo na ponku resnice razdremo nov 4x4 pogon Dacie Dusterja. Je Duster brez kardana res še dovolj robusten za v blato in sneg. Ste vedeli, da je to hibrid, ki ima v prid učinkovitosti, dosega in cene energije ter suverenosti odriva na voljo kar tri energente? Na zadnji osi pa ima poleg 6-faznega elektropogona še en dvostopenjski menjalnik. S strojnim zanesenjakom in tehničnim inštruktorjem znamk Renault ter Dacia, Gregorjem Romom, smo v roke prijeli orodje in se zakopali globoko.Strojni sladokusci, dobrodošli.

Coches con ingeniería de verdad (y que no pierden valor). ¡Basta de electrodomésticos con ruedas! En un mercado de 2026 dominado por precios inflados y normativas asfixiantes como la Euro 7, todavía existen "islas de cordura" mecánica. Hoy rompemos nuestra tónica habitual de denuncia para ser positivos: existen coches que valen lo que cuestan. Una "compra maestra" no es simplemente el coche más barato del concesionario. Es aquel donde el valor de la ingeniería supera el coste de adquisición; coches que dentro de una década seguirán siendo fiables y mantendrán un valor de reventa envidiable. Los Utilitarios Indestructibles 1. Dacia Sandero (ECO-G 120 CV): El coche inteligente por excelencia. Gracias al GLP, ofrece el coste por kilómetro más bajo del mercado térmico con una robustez mecánica a prueba de bombas. 2. Suzuki Swift (Mild Hybrid): Una lección de física con solo 920 kg de peso. Al ser ligero, no necesita motores gigantes ni frenos sobredimensionados para ser ágil y eficiente. 3. Renault Captur (E-Tech 160): El equilibrio perfecto. Su caja de cambios sin embrague, inspirada en la F1, lo convierte en un SUV compacto sorprendentemente eficiente. Compactos y berlinas de lógica aplastante 4. Mazda 3 (e-Skyactiv X): La resistencia contra la obsolescencia. Su motor de encendido por compresión es una joya técnica que combina lo mejor del gasolina y el diésel en un chasis construido para durar décadas. 5. Toyota Corolla (200H): La apuesta más segura. Su transmisión e-CVT es el mecanismo más fiable del mundo: sin embragues ni correas. Es el coche para olvidarse de las averías. 6. Skoda Octavia (1.5 TSI mHEV): El rey del sentido común. Más espacio que muchas berlinas de lujo y una eficiencia de combustible asombrosa gracias a la desconexión de cilindros. SUV con sentido mecánico 7. Honda HR-V (e:HEV): Máquina de precisión donde el motor de gasolina trabaja principalmente como generador. Fiabilidad Honda en estado puro. 8. Kia Sportage (HEV 230 CV): Un producto redondo con una garantía de 7 años que sigue siendo el estándar de tranquilidad en 2026. 9. Renault Austral (E-Tech 200 CV): Destaca por su sistema de cuatro ruedas directrices (4Control), que le otorga una agilidad de coche urbano en un cuerpo de SUV familiar. El Oasis Eléctrico 10. Renault 5 E-Tech: Ligero, divertido y con alma. Demuestra que la movilidad eléctrica no tiene por qué ser aburrida. 11. Suzuki eVitara: La entrada de Suzuki en el eléctrico puro manteniendo su herencia 4x4 y su legendaria honestidad mecánica. Caprichos que son una inversión 12. Alpine A290: El "hot-hatch" eléctrico definitivo. Un juguete con puesta a punto de Alpine y valor de colección asegurado. 13. Mazda MX-5 (2.0 184 CV): El último roadster analógico. Comprar uno hoy es proteger tu patrimonio; su devaluación es prácticamente inexistente. 14. Toyota GR Yaris: Un coche de rallyes con matrícula. Exclusividad técnica que valdrá mucho más en el futuro de lo que cuesta hoy. 15. Suzuki Jimny (Mild Hybrid): El pequeño gigante regresa. Indestructible, icónico y con un valor de reventa que nunca cae. Conclusión Comprar un coche en 2026 requiere valentía, pero elegir basándose en la ingeniería y no solo en las pantallas es la clave. Buscad la ligereza, la mecánica probada y marcas que aún respetan al conductor. Porque al final, lo que importa no es lo que brilla en el catálogo, sino lo que resiste el paso del tiempo.

Mark Slade joins us live for this Monaco GP preview - and of course there'll be no shortage of storylines. How will the electric-ICE 2026 F1 cars perform around Monaco? Will the great corners in the Principality still be great? Which cars will the circuit favour? Can Monaco's hero, Charles Leclerc, bounce back from a difficult Canadian GP weekend? Or can Sir Lewis Hamilton sustain his momentum at Ferrari? Could Kimi Antonelli actually make it five in a row for Mercedes? Or maybe McLaren-Mercedes will put together a straightforward weekend and finally win a '26 race. And then there's Max. Given the variables of Monaco,  not the least of which is the weather, those who discount Red Bull and Max Verstappen do so at their peril... Look for all these talking-points and more - as we are joined live on YouTube chat with some great questions and comments from our listeners.Mark Slade has served in the roles of Race Engineer and Chief Engineer at McLaren, Mercedes, Renault and Haas.

On this day, 28 May 1936, 32,000 workers occupied the Renault plant in Paris. 100,000 more workers soon occupied every major engineering factory around the city. Over the following month a strike wave swept the whole country from the factories to non-unionised shops, involving 2 million workers in 12,000 strikes and occupations. To stop the upheaval, employers and the government had to agree wage increases of 7-15%, a 40 hour working week, paid holidays and collective bargaining rights. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10039/french-popular-front-strike-waveOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Charging availability remained the top barrier at 46%, though concerns around cost and charging time all eased year on year.HONDA SWINGS TO LOSS AS HYBRID STRATEGY HARDENSHonda posted its first operating loss since going public in 1957, recording a ¥414.3 billion ($2.6 billion) operating loss for the fiscal year ended March 2026, driven by ¥1.57 trillion in EV-related write-offs. CEO Toshihiro Mibe abandoned the 2040 combustion-free target and pivoted to 15 new hybrid models through 2030, with two prototypes — a fastback sedan and a red crossover — unveiled in Tokyo on May 14.SLATE AUTO PLANS 392 MICHIGAN JOBSSlate Auto plans to add 392 jobs and invest $10.4 million at its Troy, Michigan headquarters over five years, nearly doubling its Michigan workforce ahead of its low-cost electric pickup launch later in 2026. The Bezos-backed company, now led by CEO Peter Faricy following a leadership change in March, will focus new roles on engineering, design, and R&D, with positions starting at $43 per hour.TOYOTA HILUX ADDS EV FOR 2026Toyota will launch the ninth-generation Hilux in 2026 with both a fully electric and a diesel version, with the electric model reaching UK customers first in June in Icon (£52,845 after grant) and Invincible (£55,695 after grant) trims. Both electric variants qualify for the UK government's £5,000 plug-in van grant and come in a Double Cab body style, with a two-seat commercial conversion to follow later in 2026.VAUXHALL MATCHES EV AND DIESEL VAN PRICESVauxhall has achieved finance and lease price parity between the electric and diesel versions of its Combo and Vivaro vans, with the Combo Electric available from £305 per month and the Vivaro Electric from £335 per month — both matching their diesel equivalents on 36-month, 10,000-mile terms. The parity has been extended to the Astra and Frontera passenger cars as part of a wider brand strategy to remove the cost barrier to electrification.TRATON RAISES €850 MILLION FOR EV DRIVEVolkswagen-majority-owned Traton Group has raised €850 million to accelerate battery-electric drivetrain development across MAN, Scania, International, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus. Battery-electric vehicle sales across the group grew to 1.4% of total sales in Q1 2026, up from 0.9% in Q1 2025, with MAN and Scania both expanding their electric lineups.RENAULT CLAIMS EDGE OVER CHINESE RIVALSRenault CEO François Provost claimed the group's European manufacturing efficiency surpasses Chinese rivals, while acknowledging it still uses Chinese supply chains and a China development centre to bring new models to market in under 24 months. With French and European plants running at 85% capacity and momentum from models like the electric Renault 5, Renault is deepening ties with Nissan — both holding 15% stakes in each other — while Nissan's CEO signalled desire for a closer partnership.BYD ATTO 2 DM-I PRICED FOR UKBYD has confirmed UK pricing for the Atto 2 DM-i plug-in hybrid SUV, with orders opening 2 June 2026 and first deliveries in August. The Active trim starts at £26,995 with a 7.8kWh battery and 24 miles of EV range, while the Boost costs £29,995 with an 18kWh battery and up to 55 miles of EV range.OMODA-JAECOO MAKES A FAST UK STARTJaecoo and Omoda launched in the UK in March 2025 with immediate impact — the Jaecoo 7 became that month's best-selling car, and by year-end over 26,000 units had sold, making it the fourth most popular retail car in the UK. The brand reached a 1.4% UK market share, ahead of Seat and Suzuki, built on Range Rover Evoque-inspired styling, competitive pricing, and strong dealer incentives.POLESTAR SAYS FUEL SHOCK DRIVES EV DEMANDPolestar CEO Michael Lohscheller said "pump anxiety" has overtaken "range anxiety" as the key driver of EV consideration, with WTI and Brent crude up 50% since late February due to disruption at the Strait of Hormuz. Polestar is seeing rising demand for both new and used EVs as a result, though eroding US tax incentives and broader cost pressures continue to make the American market challenging.
