En Capital Intereconomía seguimos la apertura del Ibex 35 y del resto de las bolsas europeas en una jornada marcada por el fuerte optimismo de los inversores tras el acuerdo de paz alcanzado en Irán, una noticia que ha impulsado a los mercados internacionales y ha provocado una importante caída de las tensiones energéticas.

Analizamos el comportamiento del petróleo, la reacción de la renta variable europea y las perspectivas para los distintos sectores tras la reducción del riesgo geopolítico. Uno de los grandes beneficiados de la jornada está siendo el sector del lujo, que registra fuertes avances gracias a la mejora de las expectativas económicas globales y a la recuperación del apetito por los activos más ligados al consumo y al crecimiento.

Oil prices swing after the White House says the U.S. Navy did not escort a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. The denial corrected a now-deleted social media post by Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The IEA reportedly proposes the largest-ever release of oil reserves as the Iran conflict continues to restrict the movement of global supplies. In autos news, Porsche narrowly misses FY sales expectations and says it will now streamline itself, pivoting away from EVs and overhauling its product line-up. Meanwhile, Renault Group CEO, François Provost, tells CNBC he still believes electric cars are the future.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyLUCID LIFTS SALES, STILL BLEEDS CASHLucid posted Q4 2025 revenue of $522.7 million — more than double the prior year — and full-year revenue of $1.35 billion (+68%), while delivering 15,841 vehicles in 2025 (+55%), its eighth consecutive quarter of record deliveries, backed by $4.6 billion in liquidity. The growth comes at a steep price: the company burned $3.8 billion in cash in 2025, announced its third layoff in three years (cutting 12% of US salaried staff), and is banking on a new ~$50,000 midsize SUV later in 2026.EU PETROL AND DIESEL SHARE SLIDES AGAINEU new car registrations fell 3.9% in January 2026, but the real story is the collapse in fossil fuel powertrains: the combined petrol and diesel share fell from 39.5% a year ago to just 30.1%, down from 48.7% in January 2024, with petrol registrations dropping 28.2% year-on-year across France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Pure BEVs took a 19.3% share (up from 14.9% twelve months prior), and electrified powertrains collectively accounted for around 68% of all January registrations.COMMISSION DELAYS "MADE IN EUROPE" PROCUREMENT ACTThe European Commission's Industrial Accelerator Act — which would add a "European preference" to public procurement, including a 70% EU-origin threshold for electric vehicles — has been delayed for a fourth time, now targeting a 4 March presentation. The UK has raised concerns that any protectionist tilt could damage cross-Channel automotive supply chains, given the EU is the largest export market for UK-built cars.VOLVO RECALLS 40,323 EX30S OVER FIRE RISKVolvo has issued a formal recall of 40,323 EX30 Single-Motor Extended Range and Twin-Motor Performance vehicles over a battery overheating risk — caused by lithium plating growth in cells from Shandong Geely Sunwoda Power Battery Co — that could trigger a fire. Volvo will replace the battery modules free of charge, but has disputed Reuters' estimate that the replacements alone could cost around $195 million, while continuing to advise owners to cap charging at 70% until their vehicle is fixed.T&E PUSHES EU TO TOUGHEN CORPORATE EV QUOTASTransport & Environment, an NGO advocating for clean transport, is urging the EU to raise corporate fleet EV targets to 69% zero-emission vehicles by 2030 — well above the Commission's proposed 45% — while excluding PHEVs entirely, arguing that company car drivers rarely plug in and routinely exceed lab-test emissions figures. Corporate buyers account for roughly 60% of new EU car sales, and T&E says its stricter targets would deliver 1.9 million additional EU-made EV sales in 2030, versus 1.2 million under the current Commission plan, while redirecting €42 billion in annual fossil fuel company car tax subsidies toward EU-built EVs.VAUXHALL CONFIRMS ELECTRIC CORSA GSE FOR 2026Vauxhall has confirmed a fully electric Corsa GSE for 2026, the brand's first hot hatch in eight years and the second model under its revived GSE performance sub-brand. The car is expected to carry over the Mokka GSE's 276bhp front motor, 54kWh battery, Torsen limited-slip differential, and Alcon brakes — a combination that delivers 0–62mph in 5.9 seconds on the Mokka, matching the Mini Cooper Electric JCW.RENAULT TO BUY OUT FLEXIS PARTNERSRenault plans to take full ownership of Flexis, its electric van joint venture, by buying out partners Volvo Group and CMA CGM — part of a broader retrenchment under new CEO François Provost that also sees the Ampere EV and software unit folded back into Renault Group by as early as July 2026. The first Flexis product, the Renault Trafic Van E-Tech, remains on track for production at Sandouville before the end of 2026, with Renault Trucks distributing the van from 2027 under an existing light commercial vehicle partnership.LEPAS CONFIRMS L8 SUV FOR UK LAUNCHChery-owned Lepas has confirmed its L8 SUV as its first UK model, with a summer 2026 launch expected and full specifications still to come. The most likely powertrain is the plug-in hybrid system shared with the UK-spec Jaecoo 7 — a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor and 18.3kWh battery delivering 56 miles of electric range and 204bhp total — with a pure EV variant expected to follow.HONDA ICON E: ELECTRIC SCOOTER HITS ¥220,000 IN JAPANHonda has launched the ICON e: electric scooter in Japan at ¥220,000 (~$1,435 / €1,350), undercutting its own petrol mopeds by around ¥20,000 and claiming 81km (50 miles) of range via a removable, swappable Mobile Power Pack e: battery. Accessible from age 16 under Japan's moped licence class — mirroring the EU's AM category — the ICON e: is designed for urban practicality over headline specs, and its sub-€1,400 price positions it well as European cities continue to tighten low-emission zones.

Le news della settimana dal mondo dell'autoLa Commissione Europea ha presentato il nuovo pacchetto auto introducendo maggiore flessibilità e neutralità tecnologica negli standard CO2 per auto e furgoni. Avanza anche l'accordo UE sull'economia circolare, che interviene sull'intero ciclo di vita dei veicoli, dalla progettazione al fine vita, rafforzando le responsabilità dei produttori e le regole sull'usato. L'industria risponde con nuove alleanze sull'elettrico, come quella tra Renault Group e Ford. In Italia, attenzione al rinnovo del contratto nazionale dell'autonoleggio, mentre i dati sul traffico mostrano come, tra grandi città e province, l'auto resti ancora centrale negli spostamenti quotidiani.

Pendant plus d'un siècle, l'automobile a incarné la liberté, le progrès. Aujourd'hui, elle est indispensable à nos déplacements, omniprésente dans nos vies, mais symbolise aussi notre dépendance aux énergies fossiles. Si la voiture électrique est souvent présentée comme la solution, elle soulève aussi des questions en termes de coûts, d'empreinte environnementale et de ressources critiques pour sa fabrication. Peut-on imaginer des véhicules électriques sobres, accessibles, pensés dès leur conception pour minimiser leur impact écologique ? Alors que le secteur des transports représente 34 % des émissions nationales de CO₂ en France, et que seulement 3 % du parc automobile est électrique, la transition vers une mobilité décarbonée s'impose comme un enjeu majeur.Dans cet épisode d'Écoutons le Futur, quatre experts décryptent les paradoxes de la voiture électrique et partagent des pistes concrètes pour accélérer la transition : le concept de voiture légère adaptée aux trajets quotidiens, les leviers réglementaires comme la fin des ventes de véhicules thermiques prévue en 2035, et le passeport numérique des batteries pour garantir traçabilité, recyclage et transparence. Face aux défis industriels et environnementaux, cet échange interroge sur les conditions d'une mobilité plus sobre et mieux adaptée aux usages.Présents sur notre plateau :- Bruno Bourdon, Directeur contenu et impact ​chez Movin'On- Virginie Sauvet-Goichon, Directrice Stratégie Climat chez Renault Group- Jacques Portalier, Chef de projet Industrie Automobile au Shift Project- Emmanuelle Bischoff-Cluzel, Directrice du Développement durable pour l'Industrie automobile chez CapgeminiUne émission animée par Valère Corréard

90% of OKRs fail. But not because the framework is broken — it's because most leaders use it wrong.

FOLLOW UP: CAR FINANCE CLAIMSThe Supreme Court has ruled on car finance claims follow last years shock appeal decision that could have meant that lenders were liable for billions in compensation for mis-selling car finance schemes. The court has ruled that dealers do not have to work solely for the benefit of customers, which covers most claims, however if the commission rate is excessive then there is a possibility of a claim. What wasn't covered in this is claims where the dealer and lender could increase the interest on their PCP or HP deal without telling the customer. Anyone who signed up to this is still able to claim. To read all about this complicated matter, click this link here from MoneySavingExpert.

FOLLOW UP: UK GOV ANNOUNCES ELECTRIC CAR GRANTFollowing months and months of calling on the UK Government to help private registrations with financial aid, the motor industry has got what it wants. Sort of. The Electric Car Grant has been announced that will be up to £3,750 off the price of a new car that is listed at under £37,000 plus other criteria, including how clean the grid is where the car was built. That last point effectively cuts out Chinese EVs due to their CO2 intensive energy supplies. The grant is active now, with OEMs and dealerships claiming the money back following registration. Added to which, it applies to all buyers and not just private, as was called for. Many within the industry have expressed their disappointment in the scheme, especially how it has ignored the second hand market plus the knock on effect this will have to depreciation.

CHINA THROTTLES BATTERY MATERIAL EXPORTSChina is once again reminding the world who controls almost all of the supply chain when it comes to electric cars. This time they have, due to being now classed as security relevant, implemented an immediate export restriction on battery material preparation technology, ie. stuff that goes into making battery cathodes used in electric cars and energy storage. No reason has been really given for the sudden move. You can find out more by clicking this electrive article link here. JLR CUTS JOBS AS SALES DROPJLR has announced it is seeking voluntary redundancies from management positions, following the last quarter's drop in sales. The company said it expects no more than 500 roles to go. The reason for reduced sales is being mainly put at the feet of the US tariff mess. Click this Autocar article link here to read more. GEELY BUYS ZEEKERGeely has acquired the final 37.2% of Zeeker shares, that were listed on the New York Stock Exchange only last year. This will cost the Chinese company around $2.4 billion.

The automotive sector is going through big transformation thanks to a variety of factors — everything from new technologies to the evolving way consumers think about their cars. In this latest installment in the ‘Women in Leadership' series of the ESG Insider podcast, we're talking with Fedra Ribeiro about leading through times of change.   Fedra is Executive Vice President at Bosch, a global supplier of technology and services, and she speaks to us about her long history in the auto industry, including a recent stint as CEO of Mobilize Beyond Automotive. Mobilize is a brand of the French car company Renault Group that aims to identify new challenges and anticipate trends in the evolving mobility space.  Fedra says she doesn't fit certain auto industry stereotypes — “Besides being a woman, I'm also not coming from a country that has a long tradition in automotive, and I'm not an engineer. So I don't know which of these three aspects has maybe marked my path more intensely.” This has presented challenges and opportunities in her career, Fedra says. “As a leader, I encourage everyone to own their own individuality, embrace who you are and use it to your advantage, and recognize that each of us has a unique perspective and experience that can add value to the conversation.” Read the latest research on gender diversity in leadership from S&P Global Sustainable1 here.    Listen to our full Women in Leadership podcast series here.   This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.       Copyright ©2024 by S&P Global        DISCLAIMER        By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.
