The €1.5 billion joint venture includes major investment in battery production at Zaragoza, positioning Leapmotor for broader European expansion under Stellantis's international partnership. SK ON OPENS SOLID-STATE BATTERY PILOT PLANT SK On has opened a Daejeon, South Korea pilot facility focused on sulphide- and polymer-oxide solid-state battery development, aiming for commercialization of sulphide-based cells in 2029—one year ahead of schedule. Backed by Solid Power's tech, the facility will produce prototype batteries featuring advanced lithium-metal and silicon anodes with targets up to 1,000 Wh/l energy density. RIVIAN BREAKS GROUND ON GEORGIA PLANT Rivian has started building a $5 billion EV plant in Georgia, aiming for 200,000 vehicles yearly by 2028, unaffected by the discontinuation of federal EV tax credits. The facility will support scale and lower costs for new models like the R2, following Tesla's profitability playbook as Rivian moves into higher-volume, lower-priced vehicles. RENAULT 4 EV GETS A CARGO VAN VARIANT Renault's new electric 4 is now offered as a cargo van with a load capacity of 1,045 litres and up to 254 miles of range, priced in France from €29,300 before VAT. The conversion is managed in-house by Renault at its Maubeuge plant, with multiple battery and power options for commercial customers. UK GEELY EX5 CUSTOMERS GET FREE ANDERSEN A3 HOME CHARGER INSTALLED Geely will provide buyers of the all-electric EX5 a free Andersen A3 home charger, featuring unique design and smart charging integration, for orders placed before October 23, 2025. The charger, which includes full installation and a seven-year warranty, is compatible with solar power and smart charging tariffs. GAC AION V APPROVED FOR AUSTRALIA Chinese automaker GAC's Aion V electric SUV has been cleared for sale in Australia, featuring a 75 kWh LFP battery for up to 374 miles of range and fast charging from 30% to 80% in 16 minutes. Pricing will start below $45,000 AUD, with deliveries and detailed specs announced closer to launch. TESLA MELBOURNE FSD TEST WAS NOT APPROVED Victorian authorities confirmed Tesla was not authorized to test "Full Self-Driving" on Melbourne's public roads after a viral video showed a Model Y performing an autonomous hook turn in the city center. Tesla says FSD is driver-supervised and not yet legal for autonomous use in Australia, where regulatory permits are required for such trials. TESLA ADDS 7‑YEAR WARRANTY TO SOME PARTS Tesla's 2026 model year vehicles in the US and Canada now carry a “High-Priced Propulsion-Related Part Warranty,” giving seven years' coverage for key electrical components like the power conversion system and high-voltage parts. This new warranty is separate from existing battery and drive unit terms, aimed at lowering costly repair risk for buyers. NHTSA OPENS PROBE INTO 2021 TESLA MODEL Y DOORS U.S. safety regulators have launched a probe into 174,000 Model Y vehicles from 2021 after reports the electronic door handles could fail, potentially trapping children inside. Preliminary findings suggest the issue is linked to low-voltage battery problems, and several parents broke windows to access their children during incidents. SUZUKI LAUNCHES E VITARA EV IN JAPAN IN JANUARY Suzuki's first battery-electric car, the e Vitara SUV, will go on sale in Japan in January 2026, produced in India for export and offering 267 miles per charge at around $27,000. It represents Suzuki's major push into global EVs with significant investments and ambitions for high-volume exports. ID. TOUAREG COULD BE THE FIRST SSP MODEL Volkswagen may transform its Touareg into the first fully electric SSP platform model, with combustion production ending in 2026 and SSP assembly possibly starting in Bratislava by 2029. The SSP platform promises cost savings and fast charging, with VW's wider rollout across brands and models to follow. VOLKSWAGEN DROPS FLUSH DOOR HANDLES FOR FUNCTION Volkswagen will move away from flush-mounted door handles in favor of traditional grab handles in response to customer frustration, as outlined by the brand's CEO at IAA Mobility. The company's next-gen ID. models will prioritize practicality to appeal to mainstream buyers over early adopters. NISSAN CUTS NEW LEAF OUTPUT OVER BATTERY SHORTAGE Nissan has halved production plans for its new Leaf due to shortfalls in battery supply, with revised output at the Tochigi plant being several thousand lower per month. The cutback delays a key launch for Nissan, which is betting on the new Leaf to reinvigorate its lagging EV business.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1147: Today we're covering a first-of-its-kind Stellantis store acquisition backed by Ellenae Fairhurst's trust, a new AI tool that negotiates car deals for shoppers, and the latest U.S.-China framework over TikTokThe late Ellenae Fairhurst's legacy lives on as a Stellantis store in Virginia has new owners, in a new approach to dealership ownership.Fairhurst Automotive, backed by the Ellenae Fairhurst Entrepreneurial Trust, acquired and rebranded the South Richmond CDJR store.Ellenae Fairhurst was the first Black woman to own Infiniti and Lexus stores in the US and her trust, formed in 2024, funds and mentors first-time Black dealers with a path to majority ownership and wealth creation.New co-owners Ken Banks and Chris Justice navigated regulatory hurdles and surprise costs, including a $50,000 business license and $40,000 in IT upgrades.Adviser Stuart McCallum and the team at Biltmore Automotive guided the operators through everything from DMS installation to state licensing.“They took two people who knew nothing about ownership… and just walked us through it,” said co-owner Chris Justice.Many customers dread negotiating a car price, so CarEdge thinks AI should do it for you. The startup's new “AI Negotiator” lets customers pay $40 to have an AI agent haggle with dealers on their behalf.CarEdge launched its AI Negotiator app in July; over 2,000 customers have already paid to try it.Users set a target price, and the AI contacts dealers directly via email and text — without revealing it's not a human.The system tracks 150+ data points per interaction, building a database of doc fees and add-ons nationwide.Founder Zach Shefska says dealers and OEMs are already taking notice, calling CarEdge “the tip of the spear.”“There's still going to be people that walk up to the dealership [to negotiate], but there's a percentage of sales that can happen without the incumbent cost infrastructure, and everyone can win. That's what I'm passionate about,” Shefska said.The U.S. and China have struck a framework deal over TikTok's ownership, potentially shifting control from ByteDance to a U.S. company.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the framework during trade talks in Madrid; Trump and Xi are expected to discuss final details Friday.The deal addresses U.S. demands for local control of user data and oversight of TikTok's proprietary algorithm.China insists it won't compromise on principles or allow “politicization” of technology and trade.Broader issues remain unresolved, including fentanyl chemical exports, sanctions on Chinese firms, and new U.S. export controls.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/

Europe led growth, North America hit a record as buyers rushed to secure tax credits, and China saw robust, if moderating, expansion, while BYD cut its sales target but expects significant overseas volume. FORD'S FOCUS-SIZED RECOVERY PLAN Ford will launch a new mid-sized crossover in 2027, built in Valencia, Spain, reflecting a shift toward affordable EVs following Fiesta and Focus factory closures. The model will compete directly with the likes of Tiguan and Sportage at a mid-£30,000 price point—aiming to recover relevance with lower emissions and competitive pricing without expecting past market share highs. EUROPEAN AUTOMAKERS SEEK 2035 FLEXIBILITY European automotive leaders are calling for flexibility in the EU's 2035 ban on petrol and diesel cars, citing tougher global supply chains and increased reliance on Chinese battery suppliers. Automakers advocate for hybrids and transitional support beyond 2035, while member states like Italy and France push for exceptions, highlighting the division over the full fossil fuel phase-out deadline. TOYOTA BUILDS EV SUVS IN KENTUCKY Toyota will begin producing its first electric vehicles in the U.S. next year, including two three-row SUVs at its Georgetown, Kentucky site, part of a $1.3 billion investment focused on domestic EV growth. The move aims to serve rising American demand, add jobs, and advance Toyota toward carbon neutrality by 2050, while balancing hybrids, plug-ins, and full EVs. STELLANTIS CANCELS ELECTRIC RAM 1500 REV Ram has scrapped its planned all-electric 1500 REV pickup in favor of a plug-in hybrid model, citing weak demand for battery-only trucks and financial constraints at Stellantis. The new Ram REV, featuring a gasoline generator with over 690 miles of range, appeals to users needing greater towing and long-distance capability, while Stellantis refocuses on hybrids and profitable platforms. NISSAN MICRA LIVE EVENT SHOWCASES NEW SUPERMINI EV Nissan unveiled its fully electric sixth-generation MICRA in Rotterdam, built on the dedicated AmpR platform, offering two battery sizes, 198–260 miles WLTP range, and advanced handling and tech features. Starting at £21,495 in the UK with government support, deliveries begin January 2026 as MICRA leads Nissan's European EV lineup expansion. GM REAFFIRMS EV-ONLY FUTURE, SLOWS TRANSITION GM CEO Mary Barra reaffirmed the company's long-term goal of going all-electric by 2035, positioning it as a strategic "North Star". However, she acknowledged that the full transition may take decades due to industry complexity and evolving market and regulatory challenges. AMAZON TESTS GM BRIGHTDROP DELIVERY VANS Amazon has started testing GM's BrightDrop electric vans alongside its existing Rivian fleet, part of its strategy to deploy 100,000 electric delivery vehicles by 2030. The pilot comes as GM faces production slowdowns, offering a chance to boost BrightDrop's visibility and demand while Amazon diversifies its supplier base. VOLVO CEO EXPECTS OTHER BRANDS TO FAIL Volvo recently rehired former CEO Håkan Samuelsson, who affirmed the inevitability of electrification and predicted only a few Chinese brands will dominate globally in the next decade. He expects legacy automakers will struggle, with survival dependent on agility and partnership with advanced firms like Geely, as newcomers like Tesla and BYD reshape the market. CHINA AUTO INDUSTRY THREAT TO GLOBAL MARKET Industry experts at the Detroit Automotive News Congress warned that U.S. automakers are underestimating the competitive threat posed by Chinese brands, whose EV market share in China surged to 50%. Fierce home competition is fueling aggressive export plans, targeting Europe, Mexico, and North America, with cost and technology advantages challenging established automakers. HYUNDAI-LG GEORGIA BATTERY PLANT STARTUP DELAY Hyundai and LG's Georgia battery plant faces a two- to three-month startup delay after a major U.S. immigration raid detained hundreds of workers, most employed by LG suppliers. Hyundai will offset production impact by sourcing batteries from other facilities while both governments negotiate skilled labor solutions for future projects. SCOUT CEO ARGUES FOR DIRECT SALES STRATEGY Scout Motors CEO Scott Keogh stated the company will pursue direct sales, comparing traditional dealer model unfavorably to buying directly from Apple and advocating for a seamless brand experience. He dismissed dealers as a distraction, reinforcing direct-to-consumer as the company's strategic retail approach. MAINE DISTRICTS FACE ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUS SERVICE ISSUES Maine school districts have seen electric buses sidelined due to unresolved service issues, with manufacturer Lion Electric's bankruptcy halting repairs and parts, leaving districts stuck with non-functional vehicles under federal grant terms. The state faces mounting frustration, a federal lawsuit against Lion, and reliance on emergency replacement options while the EPA oversees the troubled program.

Múnich se convierte una vez al año en el epicentro de la automoción europea. Cierto que los salones ya no son lo que eran, pero este se ha convertido en un verdadero termómetro de la situación actual de la industria, especialmente de la europea. ¿Está Europa preparada para la avalancha eléctrica? ¿Puede hacer frente a la ofensiva que llega desde China? ¿Hay vida más allá del formato SUV? Os voy a contar lo que para mí ha sido lo peor, y también lo mejor, de Múnich 2025. La que de verdad ha marcado el pulso del salón, ha sido la masiva y poderosísima presencia de las marcas chinas. Ya no vienen a ver qué pasa: Vienen a conquistar a conquistar este mercado. Y llegan con productos de una calidad percibida altísima… luego veremos si real, con tecnología puntera y, sobre todo, con una agresividad comercial que asusta. Antes de entrar al detalle, hay que destacar algunas claves de Múnich 2025: Una: Que Europa acelera su paso hacia lo eléctrico. Dos: La realidad de una nueva competencia global que amenaza con cambiar las reglas del juego. Tres: Se ha recuperado en cierta manera la brillantez de antaño, pero… Cuatro: Se nota una sensación de ansiedad latente en los pasillos... la sensación no de que las cosas van a cambiar, sino de que ya están cambiando… y mucho no van a poder seguir el paso a ese cambio. LO PEOR DE MÚNICH 2025. En este apartado más que en coches, me voy a centra en tendencias. Porque en Múnich también hemos visto tendencias preocupantes, ausencias sonadas y algunas propuestas que nos han dejado, como mínimo, fríos. 1. La falta de noticias sobre combustión avanzada. El abandono casi total en la comunicación y en la innovación visible de estas tecnologías en el salón me parece preocupante. 2. La tiranía del SUV eléctrico. ¿Es lo que demanda el mercado? ¿O es lo que quieren vender las marcas? Sea cual sea la respuesta, lo cierto es que la falta de variedad empieza a ser alarmante. 3. La creciente brecha de precios. El salón ha confirmado que la tecnología eléctrica avanza a pasos agigantados, pero también que los precios no bajan al ritmo necesario. 4. La ausencia del Grupo Stellantis. Ausencia de un despliegue contundente por parte de Stellantis ha sido muy notoria. 5. Concept Cars poco arriesgados. Muchos de ellos eran simples modelos de pre-producción con llantas grandes, espejos pequeños, sin tiradores en las puertas y poco más. LO MEJOR DE MÚNICH 2025. He seleccionado propuestas que me han hecho creer que, a pesar de la incertidumbre, a pesar de los cambios, a pesar de los eléctricos y a pesar de la moda SUV, el futuro del automóvil puede ser emocionante. 1. Audi Concept C. Audi ha traído un concept que prefigura un futuro deportivo biplaza descapotable, un sucesor espiritual y de momento, solo eléctrico para los TT y R8. 2. Avatr VISION XPECTRA Concept. Seguimos soñado y este concept car que nos hace soñar. 3. BMW iX3 "Neue Klasse". BMW, en su casa, ha querido dar un puñetazo sobre la mesa con el iX3, el primer vehículo de su nueva arquitectura "Neue Klasse". 4. BYD Seal 6 DM-i Una de las grandes sorpresas del salón y un movimiento inteligentísimo de BYD. Mientras los europeos lo apuestan todo al eléctrico puro, presentan una berlina media con tecnología híbrida enchufable DM-i. 5. Cupra Raval. Aunque se ha mostrado camuflado, su silueta y los detalles que se aprecian confirman que será la versión más agresiva y enfocada al disfrute de la conducción. 6. Mercedes-Benz GLC Eléctrico. Si BMW ha querido mostrar su futuro, Mercedes ha enseñado un presente espectacular. 7. Polestar 5. Una marca de éxito del grupo Geely, propietario también de Volvo. Hemos podido ver su versión casi definitiva y es, simplemente, espectacular. 8. Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric. Tras el éxito de su R5 E-Tech, Renault quiere seguir demostrando que sabe hacer coches eléctricos para el gran público. 9. Skoda Epiq. Siguiendo la estela de sus primos del Grupo Volkswagen, el Skoda Epiq es la demostración del "Simply Clever" llevado a la era eléctrica. 10. Volkswagen ID. Polo. Volkswagen ha dado en el clavo mostrando las versiones de pre-producción de su futuro utilitario eléctrico y, sobre todo, recuperando denominaciones clásicas… Conclusión. En realidad, conclusiones. Una, todas las marcas parecen por fin esforzarse en hacer coches eléctricos con más personalidad y capacidad de seducción. Dos, las marcas chinas vienen para quedarse. Tres, casi todas arrinconan a los motores térmicos. Cuatro, sigue sin haber una categoría de coches eléctricos verdaderamente asequibles.
A Bruxelles si è tenuta la terza tappa del Dialogo strategico tra Commissione europea e industria automobilistica, con la partecipazione di diversi top manager del settore, tra cui John Elkann. La Commissione ha annunciato l’intenzione di rivedere prima del 2026 – scadenza oggi prevista – il divieto di vendita dal 2035 delle auto a combustione interna, raccogliendo le pressioni delle case produttrici che chiedono maggiore flessibilità. Ursula von der Leyen ha parlato di neutralità tecnologica, ribadendo l’obiettivo della decarbonizzazione ma con attenzione alla competitività europea di fronte alla concorrenza globale. Intanto, Stellantis per voce del ceo Antonio Filosa continua a denunciare target sulle emissioni irraggiungibili e regolamentazioni troppo rigide, collegando a queste difficoltà la perdita di tre milioni di immatricolazioni in Europa negli ultimi cinque anni. La revisione attesa per il 2026 potrebbe sancire il principio di neutralità tecnologica, aprendo la strada non solo agli e-fuel, già garantiti dalla spinta tedesca, ma anche ad altre tecnologie come i biocarburanti, di particolare interesse per l’Italia. Il commento è di David Chiaramonti, docente di Ingegneria energetica e nucleare e di bioeconomia e bioenergia del Politecnico di Torino.Legacoop Prometeia, da aumento dazi -0,4/0,5 punti di Pil in 2 anniSecondo un’analisi di Area Studi Legacoop e Prometeia, i dazi statunitensi del 15% su tutti i beni importati dall’Ue – con l’eccezione di acciaio, alluminio e derivati per cui è previsto un incremento del 50% – avrebbero per l’Italia un impatto negativo cumulato sulla crescita del Pil di 0,4/0,5 punti percentuali in due anni. Il dazio medio effettivo sulle esportazioni italiane salirebbe così al 16% rispetto al 2,2% del 2024, con effetti ancora più rilevanti se si considera l’apprezzamento dell’euro sul dollaro. Dopo la flessione del Pil nel secondo trimestre e la prevista stazionarietà nel terzo, il 2025 dovrebbe chiudere con una crescita di circa lo 0,5% sostenuta soprattutto dal Pnrr, in un contesto però di forte incertezza tra dazi, tensioni geopolitiche e consumi deboli. Il presidente Legacoop Simone Gamberini sottolinea la necessità di un patto cooperativo tra istituzioni ed economia per garantire stabilità e politiche industriali lungimiranti. I dati mostrano che nel primo trimestre 2025 le esportazioni italiane sono cresciute del 2,1% grazie a un effetto di anticipo sui dazi, ma nel secondo trimestre si registra un calo dell’1,7%. Le famiglie hanno aumentato la propensione al risparmio, circa due punti sopra i livelli pre-pandemia, mentre la spesa resta ferma; il peso dell’inflazione passata continua a gravare soprattutto sui nuclei a reddito basso, con i prezzi dei beni alimentari cresciuti del 26% dal 2019 e quelli dei servizi legati all’abitazione del 15%. Ne parliamo con Stefania Tomasini, Senior Partner Prometeia.Testamento Armani, ecco com’è stata divisa l’eredità dello stilistaIl testamento di Giorgio Armani stabilisce che il 100% delle quote della maison confluisca nella Fondazione Armani. Nel dettaglio, alla Fondazione va il 9,9% in piena proprietà (pari al 30% dei diritti di voto) e la nuda proprietà del restante 90%, mentre i diritti di voto sono attribuiti a Pantaleo Dell’Orco, compagno di vita dello stilista, e ai nipoti Silvana Armani e Andrea Camerana. Dell’Orco avrà l’usufrutto del 30% delle quote e il 40% dei voti. Armani ha previsto anche un piano industriale che include la possibile vendita a un grande gruppo del lusso entro 18 mesi di una quota del 15% e, in seguito, di un ulteriore 30-54,9% che porterebbe un nuovo soggetto alla maggioranza assoluta. In alternativa, se questa seconda vendita non si realizzasse, è prevista la quotazione in Borsa entro 5 anni, al massimo 8. In ogni scenario, la Fondazione manterrà sempre almeno il 30,1% della società, a garanzia della continuità del progetto voluto dallo stilista. Interviene Giulia Crivelli, Sole 24 Ore.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1142: Stellantis and GM double down on Canadian production with third-shift revivals. U.S.–South Korea trade tensions threaten key EV investments after a Hyundai-linked ICE raid. Plus, Kyle and Steve share takeaways from the NCM Digital Success Workshop.Show Notes with links:It's a good day for Canadian auto workers as both Stellantis and General Motors announce plans to extend or reinstate third shifts at major plants, signaling stronger-than-expected demand and effective union pressure.Stellantis' Windsor Assembly Plant will return to a three-shift schedule in Q1 2026.The move follows a commitment made in 2023 Unifor negotiations, aiming to meet increased demand for Chrysler minivans and Dodge Chargers.Unifor Local 444 President James Stewart calls it an “encouraging step” for members and the community.Meanwhile, GM's Oshawa plant will retain its third shift until January 30, 2026, delaying previously announced layoffs.A spokesperson said the move was in response to short-term ”production needs" for light-duty pickups.Unifor President Lana Payne sees the shift extensions as “a sign of life for a critical industry” under threat from U.S. tariffs: “Fighting back matters.”A $350B investment deal between the U.S. and South Korea is under pressure following a high-profile ICE raid and growing concerns about how the fund will be structured—potentially jeopardizing future incentives for Korean automakers.The ICE raid at a Hyundai-linked battery plant in Georgia sparked outrage in South Korea, prompting emergency diplomatic talks.The $350B fund, originally pitched to mirror a U.S.-Japan deal, is now in dispute over whether it includes direct investments or just loan guarantees.South Korea insists it needs different terms due to the greater impact such capital would have on its economy.A key auto trade component—lower tariffs on Korean-made vehicles—is still pending, and may be delayed if talks break down.Kim Yong-beom, South Korea's director of national policy said that while the auto tariffs are important, they're not worth rushing the fund to completion, either.0:00 Intro with Kyle Mountsier and Steve Greenfield0:50 Announcements1:35 Stellantis, GM Increase Canada Shifts3:33 South Korea Trade Deal In Jeopardy5:47 NCM Client and Friends Digital Success Workshop RecapJoin 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/

Het gaat nu wel heel snel. De vorige verkoopronde is nog maar nauwelijks afgerond, en het is alweer tijd om het belang verder af te bouwen.

Het gaat nu wel heel snel. De vorige verkoopronde is nog maar nauwelijks afgerond, en het is alweer tijd om het belang verder af te bouwen.

La evolución de la economía española y gallega presenta un panorama de contrastes. A nivel nacional, la inflación se sitúa en el 2,7% con previsión de cerrar el año en el 2,4%, aunque las diferencias entre comunidades son notables: Extremadura lidera la subida con un 3,1% mientras Canarias y Murcia apenas registran un 1,7%. En el caso de la cesta de la compra, frutas frescas (+21,7%), huevos (+15,3%) y café (+13,9%) encabezan las subidas, frente a la fuerte caída del aceite de oliva (-46%). En el contexto europeo, España destaca con un crecimiento del 2,5%, muy por encima del débil 1,1% de la media de la UE y en contraste con la recesión prolongada de Alemania. Francia, aunque crece un 1,1%, preocupa por su elevada deuda (113% del PIB) y su déficit del 5,4%, que ya ha motivado un procedimiento de Bruselas. En Galicia, el crecimiento acompaña la tendencia española, con un impulso clave de la industria (+4,1%), el textil (+23,1% en exportaciones) y la automoción (+19%). La construcción (+3%) y el dinamismo exportador consolidan la fortaleza del tejido productivo, si bien el peso de empresas tractoras como Inditex y Stellantis es determinante. El mercado laboral es otro de los pilares de este momento económico. En España, se prevé la creación de hasta 430.000 empleos, aunque el ritmo será más moderado. Galicia brilla con cifras récord: más de 1,1 millones de afiliados a la Seguridad Social y un paro en mínimos desde 1996, con previsiones de reducirse al 8,7% en 2025. Sin embargo, la demografía introduce matices: hay casi un jubilado por cada trabajador cotizante. El mercado de la vivienda en Galicia también da señales de tensión. En ciudades como A Coruña y Vigo, los precios suben con fuerza y podrían crecer un 7,3% en 2025, niveles que no se registraban desde hace dos décadas. Ferrol, por su parte, suma dinamismo con el desarrollo de la ría, los astilleros y el puerto exterior.
Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — President Trump appeared to once again threaten sending troops to Chicago for a widespread immigration and crime crackdown similar to that seen recently in Los Angeles. On Sunday, the president told reporters at the White House that his administration is not "going to war" in Chicago, instead they're working to clean up our cities. Two --- Two lucky lottery winners will split the second biggest jackpot in Powerball history. Two tickets were sold in Missouri and Texas that matched all six numbers in Saturday's drawing for a grand prize of nearly two-billion dollars. Powerball officials say there were also some tickets that matched five of the six numbers, and those are worth at least one-million dollars. And number three --- Chrysler parent company Stellantis is recalling over 91-thousand Jeep Grand Cherokee hybrids in the U.S. due to a software malfunction. Some Plug-In Hybrid models from 2022 to 2026 may have an overloading of the battery pack control module microprocessor causing it to reset. The unexpected loss of propulsion can cause a car crash without prior warning.
Je kent Project Beethoven nog wel. Het Rijk en de regio staken vorig jaar samen 2.5 miljard in onderwijs en infrastructuur om chiptrots ASML in Nederland te houden. ASML klaagde namelijk over het Nederlandse vestigingsklimaat en dreigde met vertrek naar Frankrijk, dat met industriepolitiek grote bedrijven wilde lokken. Maar waar het hart vol van zit, loopt de portefeuille van over. ASML kan niet stoppen met zijn Franse flirt. Het steekt even 1.3 miljard euro in het Franse AI-bedrijf Mistral. Wat betekent dat voor beide bedrijven? Wat krijgt ASML ervoor terug? En: is Mistral eigenlijk wel een partner van formaat? Verder herinnert u zich ook nog wel de Europese schuldencrisis. "Whatever it takes", zei ECB-baas Mario Draghi toen Griekenland, Italië, Spanje en andere Zuid-Europese landen hun broek amper nog op konden houden en de Euro uit elkaar dreigde te spatten. Dat is nu wel anders. De zuiderlingen lopen de Duitsers lachend voorbij op de beurs. Toch moet je tussen al die omhoog geschoten banken goed opletten wat je koopt. Tot slot bespreken we een stortvloed aan beursgangen in de VS. De dealmakers op Wall Street zitten te watertanden: ein-de-lijk weer dikke fees verdienen aan IPO's van datacenters, cybersecurity en... concertkaartjes?

Hubo un tiempo en que las marcas presumían de que sus motores en vez de cadena de distribución llevaban correas… y ahora ocurre justo lo contrario… ¿K'a pasao? Os lo vamos a contar y, como no, saldrá a relucir el “tristemente” famoso motor “Pure Tech” de Stellantis. Durante décadas, la correa de distribución ha sido un componente vital y, en ocasiones, una pesadilla recurrente para los conductores. Y ahora la industria del automóvil ha virado bruscamente hacia el pasado, recuperando una tecnología que se creía obsoleta: La cadena de distribución. ¿Por qué está volviendo la cadena de distribución? Para llevar el movimiento desde el cigüeñal a él o los árboles de levas hacen falta o bien dos poleas y una correa o bien dos piñones y una cadena… y aquí comienzan las diferencias. Desde hace unas pocas décadas, la correa de distribución fue la solución preferida por la mayoría de los fabricantes. ¿Por qué? Pues por tres razones principales: Es silenciosa: Al ser de un material elástico, como caucho reforzado con fibras, su funcionamiento es casi inaudible. Es barata: Fabricar una correa de distribución es mucho más económico que una cadena de metal con todos sus componentes asociados. Esto reduce los costes de producción del vehículo. Es ligera: El menor peso de la correa contribuye a reducir la masa del motor, lo que, en teoría, mejora la eficiencia. Una cadena de distribución como sabes es una cadena metálica, similar a la de una bicicleta, pero mucho más robusta y compleja que gira sobre unos piñones dentados y se mantiene tensa gracias a un sistema de tensores hidráulicos o mecánicos. Sus ventajas y la razón de su resurgimiento son estas: Es extremadamente duradera: A diferencia de la correa, la cadena no tiene un periodo de sustitución programado. Está diseñada para durar prácticamente la vida útil del motor, lo que significa un ahorro notable en costes de mantenimiento. Es más fiable: Al ser de metal, es mucho menos propensa a romperse que una correa de goma, lo que reduce drásticamente el riesgo de una avería catastrófica. Y Avisa: Es difícil, casi imposible, que en uso normal una cadena se rompe. Pero si comienza a deteriorarse, a alargarse, los tensores no funcionan o lo que sea, comienza a sonar y, antes de que se produzca el desastre, avisa… una ventaja a considerar. Entonces, si es tan buena, ¿por qué no todos los motores la usan? Porque la cadena tiene sus propias desventajas, que los fabricantes han tenido que mitigar: Es más ruidosa: Aunque los motores modernos están mejor insonorizados y estos sistemas han mejorado mucho, la cadena de metal genera más ruidos Requiere lubricación: La cadena y sus componentes necesitan estar siempre bien lubricados. Un aceite de mala calidad o un bajo nivel de aceite puede provocar fallo y si no se corrige a tiempo, una avería. Si te dicen que un coche tiene cadena de distribución “de por vida”, se sobre entiende que es así si usas el aceite correcto y lo cambias cuando toca. Y ahora llegamos a un caso que ha causado un verdadero terremoto entre los consumidores: Los motores PureTech de Stellantis, sobre todo el 1.2, presente en vehículos de Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, entre otros. Este motor pretendía tener lo mejor de dos mundos, gracias a su “correa” húmeda que iba lubricada. Se uso una correa de caucho que, en lugar de ir en seco por fuera del motor, va sumergida en el aceite. Insisto, la idea era combinar el silencio y ligereza de la correa y, gracias a lubricación, con las ventajas de un sistema de cadena. El diseño ha resultado ser un desastre. La correa, sumergida en el aceite, se degrada y sus partículas terminan contaminando el lubricante y obstruyendo la bomba de aceite. Conclusión. Soy de la opinión que la cadena ha vuelto para quedarse, al menos en motores con ciertas pretensiones de duración y-o potencia. Pero quiero sacar otra lección de este video: La durabilidad de un motor depende, en gran medida, del mantenimiento en especial del cambio de aceite. Entre estos dos sistemas, sin duda, me quedo con la cadena de distribución… a lo mejor es que soy un clásico, pero para “tirar” de un árbol de levas o más, me inspira más confianza el metal que la goma… ¿Y a vosotros? Coche del día. He elegido un coche que es un ejemplo perfecto de la fiabilidad que una buena cadena de distribución puede ofrecer: el Lexus IS 250 de segunda generación. Su motor V6 de 2.5 litros, conocido internamente como 4GR-FSE, está equipado con una cadena de distribución de doble fila. O sea, como si fuesen dos cadenas.
De Bright Podcast is weer terug van de vakantie en het is meteen aftellen naar dinsdag 9 september, als Apple zijn “Awe Dropping” event houdt. We kijken in deze aflevering naar alle laatste geruchten over de iPhone, Apple Watch en AirPods. Verder in deze aflevering: KPN en Vodafone verhogen opnieuw hun prijzen, Stellantis stopt met zelfrijdende auto’s, Citroën komt met een van de goedkoopste elektrische auto’s van Nederland, Dolby onthult Dolby Vision 2 en Odido lanceert speciale mobiele abonnementen voor kinderen. Sponsor: Beleg automatisch en zonder transactiekosten met Saxo AutoInvest. Let op: er zijn altijd risico’s als je belegt, je inleg kan ook minder waard worden. Tips uit deze aflevering: Serie: Alien: Earth op Disney+, de eerste tv-serie in de Alien-franchise. Het verhaal speelt zich af twee jaar voor de gebeurtenissen in de eerste film uit 1979. Met een techmiljardair, cyborgs, ’synths’, hybrids en uiteraard xenomorphs. Aflevering 5 wordt al ontvangen als 'de beste Alien-content is sinds de vervolgfilm Aliens uit 1986'. Game: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. De remake van de game uit 2004, chronologisch gezien de eerste game in het Metal Gear-verhaal. Heel getrouw nagemaakt en grafisch schitterend dankzij Unreal Engine 5. Je speelt als Naked Snake, een supersoldaat die in 1964 tijdens de Koud Oorlog in de Russiche jungle wordt gedropt. Je moet sneaken en stiekem soldaten passeren of omleggen, maar je hebt ook met de wildernis te maken. Er zijn bloedzuigers, krokodillen en bovennatuurlijke eindbazen. Hideo Kojima maakte het origineel en je ziet hier al dingen die je later in de Death Stranding games ook weer ziet. Ook hier is allerlei gepiel toegevoegd, zoals de mogelijkheid om steeds handmatig je camouflage te wijzigen. Dat gaat nu soepeler dan in het origineel, ook kun je de game nu met een vrije camera in third person view spelen. Dit is een remaster zoals je hoopt dat ze zijn, van één van de meest iconische games ooit gemaakt. Serie: Band of Brothers is tot 14 september te zien op Netflix. Waarschijnlijk de beste serie over de Tweede Wereldoorlog ooit gemaakt, iedereen moet 'm minstens één keertje gezien hebben.

Dopo un avvio poco mosso, Banca Monte Paschi Siena e Mediobanca hanno girato in negativo. Il ribasso arriva nel giorno del rilancio dell'ops di Rocca Salimbeni su Piazzetta Cuccia con l'aggiunta di una componente in denaro pari a 0,90 euro per azione portata in adesione. Il Monte ha così colmato il gap di valutazione tra la sua offerta e il prezzo di mercato di Mediobanca. Dopo il rilancio da 0,9 euro per azione, pari a una componente cash complessiva fino a 750 milioni, quella che ora è diventata un'offerta pubblica di acquisto e scambio (Opas) valuta Piazzetta Cuccia a premio dello 0,4% rispetto agli attuali corsi di Borsa. Come deciso dal consiglio di amministrazione di Mps, la banca ha rinunciato anche alla condizione soglia e pertanto acquisterà tutte le azioni oggetto dell’offerta portate in adesione anche qualora si trattasse di un quantitativo inferiore rispetto al 66,67% dei diritti di voto esercitabili nelle assemblee dell’emittente. Comunque, l’offerta non si perfezionerà e si intenderà venuta meno qualora la partecipazione che l’offerente venga a detenere all’esito dell’offerta sia inferiore al 35% dei diritti di voto esercitabili nelle assemblee dell’emittente. Soglia, quest’ultima, non rinunciabile. Giovedì è stato convocato il cda di Mediobanca per valutare il nuovo corrispettivo. Ne parliamo con Marigia Mangano, Il Sole 24 Ore. Conti, tasse, federalismo e Pnrr: tutti i dossier pre manovra Quali sono i dossier che, rimandati in primavera, vanno affrontati prima di entrare nel vivo della legge di bilancio? Prima, entro la fine di settembre, dovrà essere presentato alle Camere l aggiornamento del programma dei conti, con il Dpfp («Documento programmatico di finanza pubblica»). Il Documento sostituisce la NaDef nel nuovo ordinamento fiscale comunitario, e potrebbe contenere buone notizie come un deficit tendenziale già in discesa verso il 3% del Pil: «L Italia è vicina all uscita dalla procedura per disavanzi eccessivi», ha confermato ieri la presidente della Bce Christine Lagarde. Ma per essere esaminato, il Dpfp avrà bisogno di regole condivise fra maggioranza e opposizione. Proprio il Piano nazionale di ripresa e resilienza occupa l altra grande voce ereditata dalle difficoltà pre-ferragostane. Qui in gioco c è l ultima rimodulazione straordinaria, indispensabile per ridurre il rischio di sforare le scadenze che agitano i programmi più in difficoltà. Annunciata a ripetizione all inizio della primavera, poi posticipata a giugno, la revisione straordinaria del Piano non ha ancora visto la luce, anticipata però da una rimodulazione tecnica consistente che ha spianato la strada alla settima rata e alla richiesta dell'ottava. Approfondiamo il tema Jean Marie Del Bo, vicedirettore dal Sole 24 Ore.Auto: l’Italia perde il 2,7% di immatricolazioni ad agosto, in autunno incentivi per le bevUn altro mese difficile per il mercato auto italiano che ad agosto, complice forse l’attesa per gli incentivi destinati alle auto elettriche, mette a segno il quarto calo mensile consecutivo nelle immatricolazioni, scese a quota 67.272, con un calo del 2,68% rispetto allo stesso mese del 2024. Con questo andamento altalenante il consuntivo dei primi otto mesi del 2025 chiude, sottolinea il Centro Studi Promotor, con un calo del 3,68%. Il mercato italiano è reduce da un mese di luglio a -5,11% preceduto da un -17,44% in giugno (a confronto con il mese degli incentivi nel 2024) e da un -0,16% in maggio, mentre dei progressi aveva segnato aprile (+2,71%) e marzo (+6,22%) dopo però i risultati negativi di gennaio e febbraio. Con questi risultati, il divario rispetto ai volumi pre-Covid aumenta e si attesta sul -21,5% di immatricolazioni rispetto al 2019. In questo contesto, in casa Stellantis il marchio Fiat recupera il 30% dei volumi nel mese sul mercato domestico e riduce a -9,7% la contrazione nell’intero periodo rispetto al 2024. Vanno bene le vendite anche di Citroen, che raddoppia i volumi, e Alfa Romeo mentre soffrono Peugeot, Opel e Jeep. Ne parliamo con Gian Primo Quagliano, direttore generale Centro Studi Promotor.

Het toetje van het cijferseizoen, het bedrijf waar beleggers massaal naar uitkijken. Dat, wederom, een indrukwekkend kwartaal neerzet. Maar dat beleggers ook vrij onzeker maakt met wat komen gaat.Deze BNR Beurs hebben we het uitgebreid over de cijfers van Nvidia. Dat komt met jaloersmakende cijfers, maar het is vooral de vooruitzichten waar we het over moeten hebben. Nvidia waarschuwt voor de Chinese regering en voor het beleid van Trump. En lijkt beleggers voor te bereiden op het nieuwe normaal: een lagere groei.De rek is er ook uit bij Nederlandse beursbedrijven. De collega's van het FD hebben alle kwartaalcijfers van beursbedrijven van het Damrak verzameld en wat blijkt: de omzet is gedaald. Net als de winst.Ook hoor je meer over over Tesla. De verkopen hollen nóg harder achteruit dan wel al dachten. Verder gaat het over de eigenaar van TikTok. Die is in omzet Meta voorbij, maar toch is het bedrijf nog veel en veel minder waard.Trump komt ook voorbij. Zijn zoons in het specifiek, want die zijn binnenkort grootaandeelhouder van een Nasdaq-bedrijf!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Allo stabilimento Stellantis di Termoli è stato raggiunto un accordo tra organizzazioni sindacali e direzione, per aprire un nuovo contratto di solidarietà che durerà un anno intero e che riguarda tutti gli oltre 1.800 dipendenti del polo. Si tratta di uno strumento difensivo, premettono i sindacati, che però si dicono molto preoccupati per il futuro dello stabilimento. Ne parliamo con Filomena Greco de Il Sole 24 ORE.Auto: gli italiani si stanno spostando verso l'elettrico?Nel mese di luglio sono state immatricolate circa 119mila autovetture, in calo del -5% rispetto allo stesso mese del 2024. Nei primi sette mesi dell'anno le immatricolazioni sono state 973.796, in calo del -3,7% rispetto all anno precedente. Lo evidenzia un focus dell'Anfia - Associazione Nazionale Filiera Industriale Automobilistica - sull'andamento del mercato dell'auto, diffuso oggi, che rileva però una tendenza in aumento per le auto elettriche. Facciamo il punto con Roberto Vavassori, Presidente ANFIA.Green Deal, nell'intesa sui dazi l'Europa dà l'assist alle aziende USAL'Europa ha iniziato un po' alla volta ad alleggerire il macigno del Green Deal sulle sue aziende. Queste ultime però ora rischiano di giocare un po' meno alle pari con le imprese statunitensi che operano nel nostro continente, per effetto degli impegni condivisi dalle amministrazioni di Bruxelles e Washington nella dichiarazione congiunta sui dazi. Ci spiega il perché il collega Carmine Fotina de Il Sole 24 ORE.Superdebito, Francia nel caos. Rischio voto anticipatoLa Francia potrebbe ritrovarsi ad affrontare un nuovo voto anticipato dopo che i partiti di opposizione hanno dichiarato che voteranno per estromettere il Primo Ministro François Bayrou e mentre i mercati francesi crollano. Ieri Bayrou ha chiesto un voto di fiducia l'8 settembre sul suo piano di riduzione del debito. Proprio il tema del sovraindebitamento tiene infatti in scacco il Paese. Ricostruiamo la situazione con Danilo Ceccarelli, collaboratore di Radio 24 da Parigi.
Stellantis, het concern achter automerken zoals Peugeot en Opel, stopt tenminste tijdelijk met de ontwikkeling van technologie voor zelfrijdende auto's. Dat meldt een drietal ingewijden aan persbureau Reuters. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Het autoconcern, dat in Nederland gevestigd is en achter merken als Peugeot, Citroën en Opel zit, was al een tijdje bezig met de ontwikkeling van wat in de industrie 'Level 3 advanced driver-assistance' (L3-technologie) wordt genoemd. Daarmee moet het voor bestuurders mogelijk worden om achter het stuur bijvoorbeeld een boek te lezen, een film te kijken of hun mail te checken. Maar door onder andere de kosten, de complexiteit, en de twijfel of er wel genoeg vraag naar is, stopt Stellantis ermee. Of dat voor goed is, kunnen de ingewijden niet zeggen. Het project ligt in ieder geval op de plank. Stellantis onthulde de L3-technologie in februari nog en volgens een woordvoerder van Stellantis is die ook in functionele staat. De reden om het niet uit te rollen is volgens Stellantis vooral omdat er te weinig vraag naar is.

A French forbidden fruit enters the studio on this week's episode - none other than the Alpine A110. But hang on...how did this non-25-year-old import end up on US soil? And WHY is it here? === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ === Manufactures keep telling us that lightweight sports cars for the masses aren't possible to produce anymore due to rising safety standards. And yet, here we have the Alpine A110 - an incredible mid-engined, sub-2500-pound sports car you can buy brand new that can do far more than just be cute and French. In Jason and Derek's rigorous testing, they find it's compact, athletic, fast, comfortable, and premium-feeling - disappointing, it certainly is not. Derived from the original A110 which dominated various stages of motorsport throughout the 1960s and 70s, it's no surprise that Renault-Alpine knew where to reference their framework when developing this car for the European market. Jason and Derek discuss throughout the episode how the little Alpine compares to the likes of the Porsche 718 Cayman range, the Lotus Emira & Lotus Evora, the Alfa Romeo 4C, and even the McLaren 570S. It's a shame Stellantis still hasn't found a way to bring this wonderful machine on sale stateside after announcing an estimated 2027 arrival via the Nissan USA dealer network - but given current complications with tariffs, we're not all that surprised. And before you ask - yes, it's the same one you saw buzzing around Monterey Car Week and featured on The Smoking Tire w/ Matt Farah and Zack Klapman. The man who brought it here is our hero for a variety of different reasons - more on that during this episode of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hubo un tiempo en que los coches deportivos eran inalcanzables para una gran mayoría. No existían deportivos asequibles ni se habían inventado los GTi. Y surgieron verdaderos “magos” que consiguieron hacer deportivos muy serios, algunos verdaderas “bestias”, a partir de utilitarios muy modestos. Hoy os traemos dos que, de alguna manera, vivieron vidas paralelas. Los nombres, en realidad más bien los apellidos, de Abarth y de Cooper sobreviven a día de hoy para destacar a los modelos más deportivos y prestacionales de algunas marcas, especialmente Fiat o Lancia en el caso de Abarth y Mini en el caso de Cooper. Nos vamos a mediados del siglo XX, cuando el mundo a duras penas se recuperaba de una guerra devastadora. Carlo Abarth en Italia y John Cooper en Inglaterra, algún día hablaremos de Carroll Shelby en Estados Unidos, vieron que coches comunes, modestos, tenían un potencial deportivo si se usaba ingenio y tecnologías. Karl Abarth era austríaco, nació en 1908 en Viena, pero pronto se trasladó a Italia adquiriendo la nacionalidad italiana e italianizando su propio nombre, que pasó de Karl a Carlo. Fundó Abarth & C. S.p.A. el 31 de marzo de 1949 en Bolonia, Italia y nace el logotipo de Abarth, un escorpión, que simbolizaba un animal pequeño pero peligroso. Es en la década de 1950, cuando Abarth ganó fama internacional gracias a sus sistemas de escape de alto rendimiento y a las preparaciones de modelos Fiat. Vehículos modestos como el Fiat 500 o el Fiat 600 recibían el toque Abarth y se transformaban en coches sorprendentemente rápidos para su tamaño. Sin duda, el auto icónico para la empresa fue el Fiat 500 Abarth. Partiendo de la base del Fiat 500 de 1957 de 479 cm3 y 13 CV, lo llevó en el Abarth 695 SS hasta los 695 cm3 y más 30 CV. Hacia finales de los 60, el éxito de Abarth atrajo a y en 1971, Fiat adquirió Abarth, que la convierte en su división de competición y preparaciones oficiales. Con Fiat, Abarth brilló todavía más en rallyes y circuitos. Y nace el espectacular Fiat 131 Abarth Rally, desarrollado por Abarth a partir de una berlina familiar y convertido en un coche de rally muy competitivo, con motor 2.0 litros de doble árbol y más de 200 CV. Con el Fiat consiguió los campeonatos mundiales de rally en 1977, 1978 y 1980. Hoy en día Abarth forma parte de Stellantis, el gran grupo europeo automotriz que engloba a Fiat, Peugeot, Chrysler y 11 marcas más. Hablemos de Cooper. A finales de los años 40 en Inglaterra, en un modesto taller de Surbiton (Londres), John Cooper y su padre Charles fundaron la Cooper Car Company. Su historia es paralela a la de Abarth, pero a la vez, muy diferente. John Cooper intuyó que podía construirse un coche de competición sencillo y barato: El Cooper 500, de la categoría F3, con motor de motocicleta JAP de 500 cm3 montado detrás del piloto en un chasis pequeño. Debutó en 1947 y, sorprendentemente, aquel coche de construcción casera se destacó por su equilibrio y agilidad. En los años 50, los Cooper siguieron escalando categorías. Y pilotos jóvenes y prometedores, como Stirling Moss o Jack Brabham, ganaron carreras con pequeños Cooper de motor central- trasero. Y por fin, en 1959 y 1960, el equipo Cooper-Climax sorprendió al mundo al conquistar el Campeonato Mundial de Fórmula 1 en dos temporadas consecutivas, siempre con el genial Jack Brabham al volante. Al comenzar la década de los 60 entra en escena El Mini, diseñado por Alec Issigonis para BMC en 1959, como la quintaesencia del utilitario británico: barato, muy pequeño, pero sorprendentemente espacioso, con tracción delantera y motor transversal. Y John Cooper vio en el Mini una base perfecta para un coche de rally por sus excelentes cualidades de agilidad y estabilidad. Convenció a BMC para producir una versión potenciada y así nace en 1961 nació el Austin Mini Cooper. John Cooper vendió su equipo de Fórmula 1 en 1965 y la Cooper Car Company dejó de fabricar monoplazas a finales de los 60. En cuanto al Mini Cooper de calle, BMC continuó produciéndolo hasta 1971. Y tras esa fecha, el nombre Cooper desapareció temporalmente de los Mini. En 1994 BMW adquirió la marca Mini junto a Rover, y decidió reinventarla. Aunque el Mini clásico cesó producción en 2000, BMW revitalizó la marca lanzando el Nuevo MINI en 2001. Hoy en día Cooper no es una compañía independiente, sino una legendaria denominación de modelo dentro de la marca MINI, propiedad de BMW. Todos los MINI modernos de aires deportivos llevan ese apellido: desde el Cooper de base hasta el potente John Cooper Works, que ha llegado a los 230 CV.

News, beaters, and brutal lessons—with details you can use. We hit the week's biggest off‑road stories (Stellantis earnings pain, ongoing 4xe overheating chatter, and Banks' Cummins grid‑heater fix), then stack an under‑$5K beater build list with real‑world pros/cons: axle strength, IFS vs. solid‑axle tradeoffs, gearing, cooling, parts costs, and where rust hides. You'll also get a practical day‑one upgrade checklist—tires, fluids, brakes, recovery points, and a $300 “don't‑get‑stuck” kit. Finally, we pause the fail clips and break down exactly what went wrong—bad rigging, unsafe anchors, no spotter, and throttle panic—and show the quick habits that keep you wheeling instead of wrenching.

The question of who represents the working class is probably the hottest debate in American politics. Is it Republicans? Democrats? Or socialists like Zohran Mamdani? Pundits can debate that question all they want, but the undeniable test is: Who do the unions believe stand for working people? For a century, unions were undeniably Democratic. And in 2021, Biden tried to carry on that tradition. He went as far as to say: “I intend to be the most pro-union president leading the most pro-union administration in American history.” Then in 2023, he became the first sitting president to walk a picket line, joining United Auto Workers in their strike against General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis. But as the Democratic Party went left, and then further left, many union members—who were reliable Democratic voters—broke the mold and voted for Trump—nearly half of union households, to be exact. Was it Trump's hatred of NAFTA? His promise to bring manufacturing back? His unbridled bravado? Or was it the left's preoccupation with boutique issues? The shift was palpable when Teamsters president Sean O'Brien spoke at the 2024 RNC despite being a lifelong Democrat. It felt like a new era. We've reported extensively on how the Democratic Party lost the working class. But now, six months into Trump's second term, are working-class Trump voters happy with their choice? And how has Trump been for labor in America? Sean O'Brien—the voice you heard at the RNC—is the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, representing 1.3 million union workers. It's one of the biggest unions in the country. As Sean puts it, “They represent airline pilots to zookeepers and everyone in between.” That “in between” includes truck drivers, warehouse workers, mechanics, baggage handlers, construction workers, and UPS drivers—UPS is their largest employer. Basically, Teamsters have organized workers in every occupation imaginable. And more than his role as Teamsters president, Sean himself is a fourth-generation union member, having joined the Local 25 at 18 as a heavy-equipment driver in Boston. He's spent 34 years in the union and has a unique vantage point from which he sees American labor. Today on Honestly, Bari asks Sean: Why did he speak at the RNC? How has Trump been for labor—given his coziness to Elon Musk, DOGE, and his new big, beautiful bill? Can Democrats win union workers back? And can unions find their footing again? How does he plan to organize Amazon—he has some choice words for Jeff Bezos. And how do we ensure more American workers have access to middle-class wages, quality healthcare, and strong pensions?

Economy GM Slides 7% After Beating Q2 Earnings Despite $1 Billion Tariff Hit, Warns of Steeper Impact Ahead General Motors reported second-quarter earnings that surpassed analyst expectations, even as the automaker absorbed a $1.1 billion hit from tariffs - but it also warned about a coming steeper impact from tariffs moving into the second half of the year. In her letter to shareholders, CEO Mary Barra emphasized GM's resilience, stating: To strengthen its domestic manufacturing base and reduce import exposure, GM announced $4 billion in new U.S. factory investments in June. The plan will expand capacity by 300,000 units across key high-margin models — pickups, SUVs, and crossovers — at plants in Michigan, Kansas, and Tennessee. “This will help us satisfy unmet customer demand, greatly reduce our tariff exposure, and capture upside opportunities as we launch new models,” Barra wrote. Currently, GM imports about half the vehicles it sells in the U.S., primarily from Mexico and South Korea. In contrast, rival Ford produces about 80% of its U.S. vehicles domestically. Ford is expected to report second-quarter earnings next week. Meanwhile, Stellantis, which owns Jeep, said tariffs cost it €300 million in the first half of the year and warned that results in the second half of 2025 will be significantly affected. Shares in Stellantis and Ford both fell about 1% on Tuesday morning.

President Donald Trump is ambivalent to the trade partnership with Canada. This moot-status reality is why there's no substantive engagement. ‘No deal' -until USMCA redo- is a win for President Trump. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is set to expire on July 1, 2036, 16 years after its entry into force on July 1, 2020, unless all three countries agree to extend it for another 16-year term.
