At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here What does it take to build trust between OEMs and suppliers — and why does it matter now more than ever?Dr. Angela Johnson, partner at Plante Moran and the new owner of the Working Relations Index (WRI), joins the show to walk us through the 2025 results and what they reveal about the automotive industry's most critical, and often overlooked, business relationships.This year's survey shows the biggest gap between the top and bottom OEMs since 2007. Toyota, Honda, and GM improved their scores, while Stellantis, Ford, and Nissan declined, widening the divide. Angela explains that this shift wasn't because the bottom three necessarily got worse, but because the top three pulled ahead by leveraging long-standing relationships and adopting collaborative practices when it mattered most.Internal alignment was another differentiator. Toyota, Honda, and GM worked across functions — purchasing, engineering, quality — while others struggled with silos and regional disconnects that left suppliers frustrated and confused.Culture came up again and again. Angela introduces the concept of “embedded behaviors” — leadership habits that trace back to a person's first real boss. These behaviors stick, often for decades, and shape how companies interact with suppliers today. In GM's case, even with ongoing issues like engineering changes and volume swings, suppliers recognized effort. They saw transparency, and it made all the difference.Then there's Ford. The team made a well-intentioned decision to outsource parts of purchasing to India, but didn't account for how it would affect supplier communication. It created more confusion than clarity, and it showed up in their WRI scores.One thing's clear: good relationships drive real results. Angela shares how WRI scores have a measurable connection to financial performance, especially for OEMs like Toyota, where strong supplier ties align closely with same-year earnings.The takeaway? It's not just about KPIs. It's how people behave. If you want better results, measure relationships and take them seriously.Whether you're a global OEM or a small supplier, the fundamentals are the same: communicate, treat people with respect, and stop thinking of relationships as the “soft stuff.”Because in this industry, they're anything but.Themes discussed in this episode:The widening trust gap between top and bottom OEMs in the 2025 WRI resultsHow strong supplier relationships directly impact financial performanceWhy responsiveness, communication, and basic “enabling behaviors” still matter mostHow internal silos and regional misalignment weaken supplier trustHow leadership behaviors are passed down across generations in the industryWhy measuring relationships—not just KPIs—is critical to long-term successThe hidden risks of outsourcing without proper communication planningThe cultural habits OEMs fall back on during times of stressFeatured on this episode: Name: Dr. Angela JohnsonTitle: Supplier Relations Analytics Principal at Plante MoranAbout: Dr. Angela leads supplier relations analytics at Plante Moran, where she manages the Working Relations Index® survey and

This week on America on the Road, we bring you an exclusive interview with Matt Duffield, Ford Explorer Brand Manager, for a deep dive into the all-new 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor. In a one-on-one conversation with Host Jack Nerad, Duffield walks us through how the Explorer Tremor trim raises the bar for off-road-ready family SUVs. He shares how customer feedback shaped the new model's development and explains the performance upgrades that make the Tremor more trail-capable. As Duffield details, the Explorer Tremor boasts improved ground clearance, special suspension tuning, and dedicated off-road tires. The Ford exec also discusses the Explorer's evolving role within Ford's SUV lineup, and how this rugged new variant fits into the bigger picture. Co-host Chris Teague's road test features the all-electric 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, and it's nothing short of a revelation. The Ioniq 5 N brings track-car personality to the EV world with 641 horsepower, launch control, and simulated gearshifts that make it feel more like a rally car than a crossover. Hyundai's N division didn't just tweak the standard Ioniq; they reengineered it. The result is blistering performance, precise handling, and a surprising driving experience. But in the end, does it load on too much tech and deliver too little visceral involvement? Chris and Jack will offer their thoughts. But it still retains everyday usability, offering a spacious interior and decent range. Jack calls it one of the most exciting EVs to hit the road—fun, fast, and futuristic. In our second road test, Jack Nerad takes the 2025 Lexus RX 500h F SPORT Performance AWD for a week-long spin. He discovered it's the most dynamic RX yet, pairing a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine with a high-output electric motor to deliver 366 horsepower and plenty of soul-satisfying torque. This isn't your in-laws' RX, that's for sure. Instead, the well-styled SUV is more sharp-edged and tech-loaded than you would imagine a hybrid crossover to be. With a panoramic roof, F Sport styling fillips, and a plush interior featuring a 14-inch touchscreen and Mark Levinson audio, the RX 500h walks the line between luxury and performance without sacrificing fuel efficiency. Chris and Jack will offer additional details in the road test segment this week In the news this week, Tesla has quietly launched a limited robotaxi pilot in Austin, Texas. Just weeks ahead of stricter state autonomous vehicle regulations, Tesla's driverless Model Y program runs invite-only rides under close monitoring. While it's a milestone for Tesla, we have to wonder if it meets the standards for readiness and safety that it should. Also newsworthy is the fact Toyota is set to raise prices across several models in July, with average increases of $270 for Toyota vehicles and $208 for Lexus models. Inflation, rising import costs, and competition are cited as reasons for the increases, which mirror recent moves by Mitsubishi. General Motors is betting big on affordability with the upcoming 2027 Chevy Bolt. Expected to launch in early 2026, reporting by Motor Trend suggests it will be built on the Ultium platform and deliver a 300-mile range and an estimated $30K price tag. It could become a welcome alternative for budget-conscious EV buyers — if such people exist. In other news of note, Stellantis may offload Maserati amid steep losses and brand bloat. With sales down over 50% and no new models on the horizon, internal tensions are building. The company also reshuffled its executive team, with new CEO Antonio Filosa slashing direct reports to streamline operations. We wrap up this episode with a listener question from Seibert in Bend, Oregon, who asks: “Gas is pretty expensive here, so I think I might get a plug-in hybrid. What is the best plug-in hybrid under $40,000?” Jack and Chris weigh in with their top picks. Tune in for all this and more on America on the Road. Jack Nerad's newest book

Hang on everyone, we finna do one journalism! This week we start with two cars from Stellantis, the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV and the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV. We love you!

The provided text from Supercar Blondie details Stellantis's unexpected venture into deep-sea exploration, highlighting their collaboration with Under the Pole to construct "Capsule II," an advanced underwater observation vehicle. This initiative marks a significant departure from their primary business of car manufacturing, showcasing their commitment to applying automotive design principles, specifically the i-Cockpit, to marine research. The article emphasizes how Capsule II aims to gather invaluable information about aquatic life without disturbing natural habitats, building on the success of a previous capsule launched in 2017. Ultimately, the source portrays Stellantis as a company expanding its technological reach beyond terrestrial vehicles to contribute to oceanographic understanding.#StellantisDeepSea #CapsuleII #UnderThePole #MarineInnovation #AutomotiveToOcean #iCockpitMarine #OceanExploration #AquaticResearch #StellantisInnovation #DeepSeaTech #Underwater #Underwaterhabitat

FOLLOW UP: US UK TRADE DEAL IS ACTUALLY REALFollowing our confusion, last week, on what had actually been signed, it appears that the US and UK have indeed signed an actual, real trade deal. This means that for up to 100,000 cars exported to the US, there will only be an additional 10% tariff added, instead of 25%. Click this Autocar article link here, to read more. NO RETURN TO 30MPH LIMIT IN DENBIGHSHIREOne county in Wales has canvassed local residents to see if any of the roads that have been changed from 30 to 20mph limit, should be changed back to the original speed. Only people outside of specific areas, travelling through, have asked for a return to the higher speed and have not been considered. As a result, no roads are going back.

DEALER TO PAY FOR INFOTAINMENT REPLACEMENT SHOCKA ruling by the Motor Ombudsman has stated that a dealer must pay for the full replacement costs of a broken infotainment system as it was deemed unsatisfactory quality. This was all under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The shock is that the dealer is being held responsible and not the manufacturer, however, the contract is with the dealer and customer, not the customer and manufacturer.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1077: Today we're talking about Stellantis' cautious leadership shuffle, Tesla's Robotaxi rollout with safety monitors in the passenger seat, and how AI is quietly shaping the way we talk—even if we don't realize it.Antonio Filosa officially begins his tenure as Stellantis CEO, opting for continuity over disruption by retaining his North America role and promoting from within—a move that left investors wanting more.Filosa will remain based in Detroit and continue overseeing North America to stabilize performance in Stellantis' most troubled region.He trimmed direct reports to 16, down from 33 under Tavares, signaling a leaner leadership model.Key appointments include Scott Thiele as head of supply chain and Monica Genovese as head of purchasing, while all 14 brand chiefs—including Jeep, Fiat, and Maserati—stay in place.Stellantis shares are down 10% since his May appointment.Jefferies analysts dryly noted the split role “suggests that revamping Stellantis may not be a full-time job.”Tesla has officially launched its Robotaxi pilot in Austin, offering driverless rides to a select group of superfans. While early impressions are mostly positive, the rollout wasn't without its quirks—or a couple concerning errors.Service is live in a ~30-square-mile geofenced area of South Austin with limited weather, time, and destination constraints.There's a human “safety monitor” in the passenger seat with emergency controls—and remote teleoperators on standby.Notable fails include one vehicle veering into an oncoming lane mid-turn and another stopping mid-intersection to let out a passenger.Riders must use a separate “Robotaxi” app, distributed via Apple's TestFlight, but noted seamless syncing of personal Tesla profiles (like music) and a smooth ride experience on par with, or better than, current FSD builds.Content creator Chuck Cook praised the performance: “Quite advanced behavior… a more confident parking job than I've personally encountered in a Waymo.”As AI tools like ChatGPT increasingly shape our digital interactions, researchers are now tracking how those patterns are bleeding into how we actually talk with some surprising, and maybe unsettling, results.In academic YouTube videos, usage of words like “delve” and “adept” has jumped over 50% since ChatGPT's release.Spoken language is becoming more structured and emotionally muted—mirroring AI's formal tone.Researchers warn this shift erodes the authentic signals we use in speech, like stumbles and slang, which build human connection.The influence of “correct” AI-generated English is crowding out regional dialects, affecting who sounds credible in public discourse.“Delve is only the tip of the iceberg,” says Max Planck reseaJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Expert na automobilový priemysel Vladimír Orth a moderátor podcastov Autobazar.EU Erik Stríž diskutujú o budúcnosti automobilového priemyslu, pričom sa zameriavajú na Slovensko a jeho úlohu v globálnom autopriemysle.Rozoberajú dopad amerických ciel, ktoré majú za cieľ zvýšiť zamestnanosť v USA a obmedziť dovoz najmä z Číny. Diskutujú o vplyve globalizácie a súčasnej geopolitickej situácie na tento sektor, pričom zdôrazňujú, že pre európske a slovenské automobilky to znamená potrebu prispôsobiť sa zmenám a investovať do iných technológií. Hoci slovenský automobilový priemysel je v dobrom stave vďaka vývozu, rastúce ceny automobilov a legislatívne zmeny ovplyvňujú kúpyschopnosť obyvateľstva, čo vedie k zvýšenému dopytu po ojazdených vozidlách a oprave starších áut.Záverom sa venujú čínskej expanzii na globálny trh a uvažujú nad budúcnosťou Tesly, pričom zdôrazňujú, že turbulencie v automobilovom priemysle ovplyvňujú všetkých hráčov a vyžadujú si strategické rozhodnutia pre prežitie.1. Aká je aktuálna situácia s americkými clami a aký majú vplyv na automobilový priemysel vrátane Slovenska?Americká administratíva používa clá predovšetkým ako vyjednávací nástroj s cieľom zvýšiť zamestnanosť v Spojených štátoch a obmedziť dovoz, keďže majú obrovský schodok v účtovnej bilancii. Najväčším "zlom", ktoré vnímajú, je Čína, ktorá sa stala najväčším automobilovým trhom na svete. Hoci clá postihujú aj európskych výrobcov, mnohí z nich už majú továrne v Mexiku a Kanade (ktoré sú súčasťou ekonomického združenia NAFTA), čo im pomáha v rámci dodávateľských reťazcov. Kým výroba v USA je drahá pre vysoké mzdy, čo znamená, že autá vyrobené tam budú pre konečného spotrebiteľa extrémne drahšie, aj bez ciel.Pre slovenský automobilový priemysel clá primárne ovplyvňujú vývoz luxusných áut ako Audi Q7, Q8 a Cayenne do USA. Očakáva sa, že výroba týchto modelov sa v najbližších mesiacoch alebo rokoch presunie do USA, čo si vyžiada rozsiahle investície a premiestnenie výrobných liniek. Tento presun môže viesť k nižším ziskom slovenského závodu Volkswagen, zníženej potrebe kvalifikovanej pracovnej sily pre luxusné segmenty a potenciálne k porovnateľnej situácii s lacnejšou výrobou, ako je závod Stellantis v Trnave. Podobné problémy sa očakávajú aj u Jaguar Land Rover v Nitre, ktorý vyrába Defender, tiež určený hlavne pre americký trh. Vo všeobecnosti budú mať všetky európske závody vyrábajúce luxusné autá "mega problémy", pokiaľ sa neotvorí ruský trh. Jaguar Land Rover už v minulosti dočasne pozastavil export do USA kvôli neistote, ale medzičasom ho opäť spustil.2. Aká je budúcnosť automobilového priemyslu na Slovensku?Expert sa domnieva, že budúcnosť Slovenska nie je v automobilovom priemysle. Argumentuje tým, že Slovensko je malá krajina s malým počtom obyvateľov a nie je veľmi otvorená imigrácii. Je nerealistické očakávať, že pracovníci budú zarábať vysoké mzdy a zároveň vyrábať autá za 10-12 000 eur, pričom modely ako Fabia, Clio či Polo sú dnes považované za drahé "prémiové" autá.Slovensko by sa malo namiesto toho zamerať na budúce pokročilé technológie, ako sú LIDAR pre autonómne vozidlá a iné technologické zariadenia, ktoré predstavujú budúcnosť. Krajina má "inovačný dlh" a potrebuje investovať do inovácií. Existuje tiež riziko, že niektoré automobilky môžu v priebehu pol roka po skončení konfliktu presunúť výrobu na Ukrajinu kvôli dostupnosti pracovnej sily. Slovensko by malo prijať globálnu víziu pre nasledujúcich 30 rokov, ktorá by sa spájala s potrebami obyvateľstva a svetovými trendmi, a prispôsobiť tomu školstvo a ostatné systémy. Namiesto toho, aby bolo len "výrobnou dielňou", by sa Slovensko malo porovnávať s malými, efektívnymi krajinami ako škandinávske alebo baltické štáty, ktoré dokážu rýchlo prijímať rozhodnutia a vytvárať budúce globálne firmy.Hoci slovenský automobilový priemysel je v súčasnosti v dobrej kondícii vďaka vývozu a nižším

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos la salida de Luca de Meo de Renault. El italiano deja el grupo francés después de cinco años. Lo deja de forma voluntaria y desempeñará el cargo hasta el próximo 15 de julio. De Meo asegura que “busca nuevos retos fuera del sector de la automoción". Y es que ante todo, el empresario siempre ha sido un amante del motor, con experiencia en marcas como Toyota, Fiat o Seat. Solo hace un mes presentó su libro Diccionario sentimental del automóvil. Esos nuevos retos podrían llevarle hasta Kering, según Le Figaro. La marca de lujo francesa, que engloba firmas de renombre como Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent o Balenciaga se ha fijado en el buen hacer del ejecutivo en Renault, donde cogió las riendas en un momento muy pero que muy difícil. El 1 de julio de 2020 asumió el cargo de CEO de Renault. El fabricante automovilístico registró una pérdida neta de más de 8 mil millones de euros ese mismo año. Sus ingresos cayeron entonces casi la mitad. Fue entonces cuando De Meo se puso manos a la obra y presentó el plan “Renaulution”: Resurrección, Renovación y Revolución. En la primera fase la marca pretendía hacer un plan de recortes ambicioso en tres años: ya en 2022, la compañía logró reducir estas pérdidas en más de 2.000 millones de euros. En las fases de Renovación y Revolución la marca iba a apostar por la innovación tecnológica, la reestructuración de la marca y la incorporación de nuevos modelos. En noviembre de 2022 la marca crea las marcas Ampere y Power para desarrollar hardware y así reducir su dependencia de China. Además, lanza al mercado los modelos Twingo eléctrico de 20.000 euros y el Renault 5 E-Tech. Otra de las misiones que tenía el ejecutivo italiano era cambiar la alianza con Nissan. De las múltiples tensiones que muchas veces amenazaron con romper dicha alianza se pasó a una relación más calmada. De hecho, la salida de De Meo ha provocado que la marca japonesa vaya a reducir su participación en Renault, como ha asegurado su CEO, Iván Espinosa. Hasta aquí llega la influencia de De Meo, que ahora tiene la difícil tarea de devolver los días de gloria a Kering, después de que sus acciones hayan perdido el 80% de su valor desde 2021. Sabemos que De Meo se va a Kering pero ¿quién le sustituirá en Renault? Parece que el mercado mira a dos muy posibles: Wayne Griffiths, que dejó el cargo de director ejecutivo de Seat en marzo y que ya negoció con el presidente de Stellantis, John Elkann, para ser el CEO del grupo y Josep Maria Recasens, actual CEO de Ampere, filial de coches eléctricos de Renault, división que le ha dado grandes resultados al fabricante automovilístico.

The Wall Street Journal is calling it “the first big casualty of the tariff war.”Marelli – the auto parts giant and supplier to big names like Stellantis and Nissan – has filed for bankruptcy protection.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereAs the auto industry faces a new wave of uncertainty—tariffs shifting daily, global instability, and mounting supply chain questions—leaders are under pressure to act fast. For many, that means retreating into old habits, tightening control, and centralizing decisions. But Jan challenges leaders to do the opposite.She knows it's tempting. In a crisis, the structure feels safe. But Jan argues that the real power lies in authentic leadership—especially now. That means staying true to your values, trusting your people, and letting go of micromanagement.Just look at General Motors. While the industry expected GM to return to its old ways during the crisis, it didn't. Instead, the company focused on stronger supplier relationships and open communication. It worked. GM earned its highest supplier trust score in 25 years.Then there's Stellantis. After years under Carlos Tavares' top-down approach, leadership is shifting. Antonio Filosa is already building relationships—with suppliers, dealers, and unions. It's a clear sign that even the biggest players are moving toward people-first leadership.Jan's message is clear: the future of leadership in this industry isn't about control—it's about connection. If you're leading a team right now, take this moment to ask yourself: Are you leading with fear or with trust?Because in the end, how you lead through the crisis will define what kind of organization—and culture—you build coming out of it.Themes discussed in this episode:Why crises often push leaders back into command-and-control—and why that's a mistakeWhy command-and-control leadership is failing in today's rapidly changing auto industryHow authentic leadership creates faster, more sustainable results during uncertaintyThe importance of trusting your team instead of micromanaging themThe hard truth about outdated leadership models and why they hold companies backHow General Motors improved supplier relationships by leaning into empowerment and transparencyHow Stellantis is moving away from fear-based leadership with new CEO Antonio FilosaYour HostJan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change in the automotive industry.

UK EV CHARGER PLANNING REQUIREMENTS REMOVEDLillian Greenwood, the Future Roads Minister, has announced that the requirements of planning permission for private and public chargers is to be removed. The hope is that this will help speed up the installation of chargers across the country. For more on this story,

While we could be more tactful about this, we won't be, because everyone who has ever driven a car knows the Charger EV was dead before it launched. Not only did no one really want one, but the reviews on them were terrible from the start with subpar range, awkward ergonomics, and the continued questionable build quality Stellantis is getting known for across their automotive range. While other Charger EV models are still out there, the Daytona trim lasted less than a year, and continues to signal the slow, extremely predictable demise of the Stellantis brand. On the bright side, someone over at the Ram brand decided that maybe discontinuing the TRX, the only real competition for the Raptor, was a bad idea and is slated to come back for 2026.  The Avants Podcast is brought to you by our friends at STEK USA and Carter Seattle!

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1055: Today we cover Stellantis' new CEO facing a storm of tariffs and dealer tensions, GM's surprising pivot back to big V-8s, and DeLorean's futuristic EV launch… that's more crypto maze than car.Show Notes with links:After a six-month search, Stellantis has named Antonio Filosa as its new CEO. With more than 25 years in the industry and leadership experience across Brazil, North America, and global roles, Filosa is stepping in as the company faces pressure on multiple fronts.Filosa starts as CEO on June 23, replacing Carlos Tavares after his December resignation.Currently COO for the Americas and global chief quality officer, he's credited with restoring confidence internally.Challenges include reversing a 10% Q1 shipment drop, regaining dealer trust, and addressing a potential $7.1B hit from Trump's proposed 25% tariffs.Filosa has reinstalled key leadership—bringing back Ram's Tim Kuniskis and U.S. sales head Jeff Kommor—to stabilize operations.“One of my first decisions has been to bring back talents that we lost in the past,” Filosa told reporters in January.The EV slowdown has prompted General Motors to double down on internal combustion, shelving a $300 million plan for EV motors at its Tonawanda, NY plant and instead committing a massive $888 million to next-gen V-8 engine production.The site will continue producing Gen 5 V-8s while ramping up for Gen 6 engines by 2027.New engines will feature performance-boosting and emission-cutting innovations.Investment includes machinery, tooling, and facility upgrades—the largest ever for a GM engine plant.New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the project will support 870 jobs at Tonawanda Propulsion, including 177 jobs deemed at risk“This investment shows the company's commitment to strengthening American manufacturing,” said CEO Mary Barra.The DeLorean Alpha5 EV promised a high-tech return to the future, but it's now stuck in development limbo, with no production timeline or pricing—and buyers are being asked to reserve with cryptocurrency and NFTs.Reservations require $2,500 in USDC crypto via a specialized Slush Wallet and purchase of an NFT.No refunds are offered—buyers can resell their spot in line to recoup funds.Fewer than 600 reservations have been made, with some resale spots priced up to $40,000.The Alpha5, if it arrives, will offer 300+ miles of range and sub-3-second 0-60 performance.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
