Primary schools involved in a pilot programme say being able to close nearby roads during drop off and pick up times is helping curb dangerous driver's behaviour. It's been a growing issue in our biggest city, with Auckland Transport starting Safe School Streets a couple of years ago. But now other schools across Aotearoa are facing the same issues, some taking things into their own hands. Bella Craig reports.

In this episode, Travis is joined by John M. & Jhoan P.N. to talk about why they wanted to become truck drivers, how they found Roehl and going through Roehl's on-the-job CDL training program.

Hi, I've just popped in to see how you are.

Une première phase de financement pour les 800 km de route entre Douala, au Cameroun, et Bangui, en République centrafricaine. Elle vient d'être annoncée par la Banque mondiale et se monte à 425 millions de USD. Le début des travaux sur ce tronçon communément appelé corridor économique Douala-Bangui est fixé pour l'an prochain. 80 % des produits vers la RCA, et 70 % vers le Tchad transitent par cet axe aujourd'hui en mauvais état. De notre correspondant à Yaoundé, L'aménagement du corridor économique Douala-Bangui est censé moderniser et automatiser les opérations de pesage et aussi réduire les délais de transport des marchandises entre les deux pays. « Il y aura un dispositif de présélection installé sur la voie et ce sont les véhicules qui sont soupçonnés d'être en surcharge qui vont se faire peser à la station, et de manière automatique. Les amendes, s'il y en a, vont être enregistrées et le reçu directement imprimé », explique Donnat Takueté, directeur général des études au ministère des Travaux publics. À lire aussiLe patronat camerounais s'inquiète de l'impact de l'état des routes sur les entreprises Il faut aujourd'hui compter de 9 à 12 jours pour parcourir 1400 km entre Douala au Cameroun et Bangui en RCA. Le mauvais état de la route y est pour beaucoup. Les tracasseries administratives aussi en raison notamment des 17 postes de contrôle informels, selon la Banque mondiale. L'institution va donc concentrer les premiers financements sur le Cameroun. « Pour la première phase de financement, le Cameroun va bénéficier d'un montant de 425 millions de dollars, il va aussi bénéficier à la Centrafrique pour un montant de 90 millions de dollars et à la Cemac, via un appui régional pour préparer les phases ultérieures de ce projet », détaille Anne-Cécile Souhaid, directrice de la division région Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre de la Banque mondiale.

This week on Autonomy Signals presented by KPMG, Grayson Brulte and Rob Grant discuss the latest Tesla FSD Supervised Cannonball Run record, seniors adopting FSD as a mobility preservation tool, and Baidu beginning robotaxi testing in London on both the Uber and Lyft networks.David Moss, Spencer and Owen Sparks drove a Tesla Model 3 running FSD Supervised 14.3.6 from the Red Ball Garage in New York City to the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, California in a record-setting 47 hours, 15 minutes and 39 seconds without ever touching the wheel.While the young kids break Cannonball FSD Supervised records, older individuals are actively embracing FSD as a mobility preservation tool. With no AARP partnership and no marketing spend, word of mouth is pulling seniors into a $47 billion a year senior transportation market that remains underserved, creating a structurally high-retention customer for Tesla.As Tesla FSD adoption grows with seniors, Baidu launched supervised RT6 robotaxi trials in the London borough of Brent on both the Uber and Lyft networks, with Lyft utilizing FreeNow's existing Transport for London private hire operator license.Baidu's deployment in London is a regulatory choreography play, not a technology demonstration, with driverless commercial authorization targeted for 2027 remaining the single binary event that either validates or collapses Baidu's Western expansion thesis.Episode Chapters0:00 KPMG Sponsor Introduction01:30 Signal 1: Tesla FSD Supervised Cannonball Run Record26:23 Signal 2: Seniors are Embracing FSD51:47 Signal 3: Baidu Begins Robotaxi Testing in LondonFollow The Road to Autonomy Indices--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Short description David Brown and Paul Murrell examine the pressures reshaping the automotive industry, from Volkswagen's restructuring and the rise of Chinese manufacturers to BMW's expanding EV line-up and Mercedes-Maybach's new approach to luxury. The program also explores transport branding, public transport planning and the future of smaller car brands in Australia, mixing industry analysis with practical observations and motoring history. 1. Volkswagen under pressure — 03:46 2. BMW expands its EV range — 15:47 3. Mercedes-Maybach redefines luxury — 27:02 4. Branding and public transport identity — 33:22 5. Fiat and Alfa Romeo under pressure — 42:53 6. Hyundai Ioniq 6 N road test — 52:24 Full summary Tech frustrations & updates David and Paul open with a light-hearted discussion about software updates, usability and why dependable technology often beats constant change. They compare today's digital frustrations with simpler, more reliable systems. Volkswagen under pressure The pair discuss Volkswagen's reported restructuring, competition from Chinese brands, excess manufacturing capacity and changing consumer expectations. They question whether Australia's market trends may foreshadow global shifts and debate the value of heritage versus product quality and value. BMW expands EV range BMW's new iX3 is examined alongside the brand's broader EV strategy, charging technology and pricing. The discussion highlights how premium manufacturers are increasingly building electric vehicles people want to drive first, rather than simply buying because they are electric. Mercedes-Maybach luxury rethink Mercedes-Maybach's latest flagship illustrates how luxury is evolving beyond large screens to ride comfort, intelligent suspension and advanced driver assistance. The hosts consider how technology is redefining prestige. Great British Railways branding A discussion on UK rail branding argues that successful transport branding is about customer experience rather than logos. The conversation broadens into Australian examples where branding can confuse rather than assist passengers. Fast buses & transport choices The hosts compare long-distance buses, trains, flights and driving, arguing that total journey time, convenience and city access often matter more than headline travel speeds. Fiat, Alfa Romeo & market shake-up The program concludes with the uncertain future of Fiat in Australia, Alfa Romeo's challenges and the broader rationalisation of automotive brands as competition intensifies. Hyundai Ioniq 6 N road test David Brown and Paul Murrell assess whether the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is more than an electric straight-line performer. They conclude Hyundai's N division has created a genuine driver's car, combining exceptional performance with sophisticated chassis tuning, although its track-focused features—including drift mode, configurable power delivery and simulated gear changes—are largely impractical for public roads. The discussion explores the car's polarising aerodynamic design, balancing low drag with added downforce from its prominent rear wing, and the compromises between efficiency, grip and performance. Interior highlights include supportive sports seats, extensive steering-wheel controls and the "N Grin Boost" function, while the artificial engine sounds divide opinion, with David preferring authentic vehicle feedback over digital simulation. Despite winning international recognition as World Performance Car of the Year, the Ioniq 6 N occupies a niche position at around $125,000 drive-away. The hosts note its practicality alongside its track capability but observe that Australian sales remain extremely limited, prompting questions about whether Hyundai's next-generation model will adopt styling changes to broaden its appeal. The program concludes with thanks to Paul Murrell and a reminder that extended editions are available via podcast and the Cars, Transport, Culture website and social media channels.

They examine the value of orbital rail, balancing infrastructure costs with long-term city planning, governance challenges and why integrated transport networks should support more than CBD commuting. The conversation also explores road space reallocation, traffic behaviour and the importance of designing cities around local access. Infrastructure Australia and better project selection The discussion turns to Infrastructure Australia's role in assessing nationally significant projects. Brian explains why rigorous business cases and genuine comparison of alternatives are essential, while David questions politically driven project announcements and stresses the need for strategic planning that considers broader regional outcomes rather than isolated headline projects. Volkswagen Multivan, Kombi legacy and ID. Buzz Volkswagen's updated Multivan prompts a look back at the Kombi's enduring cultural impact. David and Brian debate whether Volkswagen should have retained the Kombi name, compare the Multivan with the electric ID. Buzz and discuss the changing Australian people mover market, practical cabin design and thoughtful features that improve everyday driving. XPeng X9 electric people mover Brian outlines the Australian launch pricing and specifications for the XPeng X9, including its long driving range, rapid charging capability and AI-powered onboard systems. The discussion also covers the brand's local distribution changes, the usefulness of voice assistants and where AI genuinely improves the driving experience. Fiat Australia update and listener feedback The team reviews Stellantis' statement on Fiat's Australian future, concluding the brand's immediate outlook remains uncertain. Listener contributions include a memorable fancy-dress crash story, reflections on classic Peugeot GTIs and conversations about large American cars and collector vehicles. MG S5 EV road test David road tests the MG S5 EV, praising its improved build quality, practical front storage, smooth driving dynamics, generous safety equipment and competitive pricing. He also notes frustrations with touchscreen-heavy controls and persistent driver assistance alerts, while Brian argues that value remains one of MG's strongest selling points. Preview: Mazda MX-5 and next week The program concludes with a preview of next week's Mazda MX-5 review and a discussion about intrusive driver assistance systems, before wrapping up the latest edition of Overdrive.

In this week's Talking Travel, Rory looks at how older British cities, whose streets were designed for people walking and maybe a horse and cart, were changed and modified to accommodate modern forms of travel, and the challenges city planners still face when it comes to working around how these old cities are designed.

In 2025 alone, battery EVs already displaced 57 million barrels of oil and kept about €4 billion in European wealth inside the bloc, with the report urging faster electrification alongside a stronger industrial base and energy resilience.FORD AND GEELY PLAN VALENCIA JOINT VENTUREFord and Geely Auto are forming a Europe-focused joint venture at Ford's Valencia plant in Spain, with Ford owning 66% and Geely 34%, aiming to start operations in early 2027 and begin production in 2028. The venture will build a new compact Bronco, a jointly developed multi-energy crossover, and two Geely-branded electric SUVs, while Kuga production continues uninterrupted during the transition.SENATE BILL COULD BAR MERCEDES FROM USThe Senate Commerce Committee advanced bipartisan legislation barring automakers with more than 15% Chinese ownership from selling cars in the US, a threshold Mercedes-Benz would exceed due to nearly 20% Chinese investor ownership. Committee chair Ted Cruz said the bill would effectively ban Mercedes, though the company would have until 2030 to comply or seek a waiver, with the measure still needing full Senate and House approval plus a presidential signature.RIVIAN CUTS BATTERY COST WITH STRUCTURAL PACKRivian slashed R2 battery-pack cost by switching to large-format 4695 cells, cutting cell count from 7,776 to 776, and making the pack structural to the vehicle floor, saving about 7mm of space used for extra protection and venting. The company made the pack non-serviceable at the cell level to simplify validation, instead consolidating serviceable electronics into a rear-seat "powerhouse" that cut high-voltage cabling by roughly 70% versus R1.TESLA SHEDS $214.5 BILLION AFTER EARNINGSTesla shares fell 14.5% to $319.69 after disappointing Q2 earnings, wiping $214.5 billion off its market value in the largest one-day loss in company history. The drop followed missed expectations, a more cautious timeline for Cybercab, Semi and Megapack 3, and Tesla's first negative free cash flow in two years amid $5.8 billion in quarterly capital spending.TESLA PUSHES BACK 2026 PRODUCTION GOALSTesla no longer expects volume production of the Cybercab, Semi, Megapack 3 or Optimus in 2026, blaming the need to scale 4680 battery output, even as quarterly revenue rose 26% to $28.2 billion on stronger deliveries. Despite the sales rebound, net income fell 5% to $1.1 billion, free cash flow turned negative $1 billion, and 2026 capital expenditure is now expected to reach $25 billion.DENZA Z9 GT OPENS UK ORDERSBYD's luxury brand Denza has opened UK orders for the Z9 GT shooting brake, starting at £105,000 for the EV and £95,000 for the plug-in hybrid, more than triple its Chinese starting price. The EV offers up to 599 km WLTP range, a 122.49 kWh Blade Battery 2.0 pack, tri-motor output of about 1,140 hp, and Flash Charging claiming 10-70% in roughly 5 minutes, as BYD tests premium pricing with a Daniel Craig/James Bond campaign.CARMAKERS PRESS UK TO REOPEN 2035 BANBMW, Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Bosch privately urged UK ministers in April to keep combustion, hybrid and range-extender vehicles on sale beyond 2035, citing the EU's softened 90% target and customer demand concerns. The Department for Transport insisted the 2035 phase-out is not being renegotiated, while critics including Polestar's UK boss and thinktank ECIU warned that delay risks jobs and climate goals despite the manufacturers employing about 30,000 people in the UK.BMW IX1 AND IX2 WIN FULL UK GRANTBMW secured the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant for the iX1 and iX2 in the UK, tied to its Science Based Targets commitment and the Regensburg plant's renewable energy use, making the iX1 eDrive20 Sport start at £33,315, cheaper than its petrol X1 equivalent. BMW also added a new, more affordable iX2 eDrive20 Sport variant at the same £33,315 starting price, alongside other grant-eligible trims.NHTSA OPENS RULE ON CAR DOOR ESCAPENHTSA has opened formal rulemaking on requiring reliable manual door-escape systems in new US cars, responding to a petition citing incidents where flush, electronic door handles—used notably by Tesla—trapped occupants after crashes or power loss. Bloomberg reported at least 15 deaths linked to such failures, and any final rule could force manufacturers to add mechanical backups and revise crash-test protocols, though the process is expected to take months to years.

Après huit ans de travaux et près de 5 milliards de dollars d'investissements, le pont Gordie-Howe est inauguré entre Detroit, aux États-Unis, et Windsor, au Canada. Bien plus qu'une simple infrastructure, ce nouvel ouvrage doit fluidifier l'un des principaux corridors commerciaux d'Amérique du Nord. Il illustre aussi l'interdépendance économique entre Washington et Ottawa sur fond de tensions politiques avec Donald Trump. À première vue, il ne s'agit que d'un pont supplémentaire entre les États-Unis et le Canada. Pourtant, le pont Gordie-Howe est l'une des infrastructures les plus stratégiques d'Amérique du Nord. Long de 2,5 kilomètres, construit en huit ans pour un coût d'environ 5 milliards de dollars, il relie Detroit, dans le Michigan, à Windsor, en Ontario. Un autre pont relie déjà ces deux villes depuis près d'un siècle. Mais cet ouvrage historique est devenu victime de son succès. Le corridor Detroit-Windsor est aujourd'hui le passage terrestre le plus fréquenté du continent. Chaque année, près de 126 milliards de dollars de marchandises y transitent, soit environ 20% des échanges commerciaux entre le Canada et les États-Unis. Des milliers de camions empruntent quotidiennement cet axe. Le moindre incident, qu'il s'agisse d'un accident, d'une panne ou d'un ralentissement des contrôles douaniers, peut perturber pendant plusieurs heures, voire plusieurs jours, une partie de l'économie nord-américaine. Le pont Gordie-Howe a donc été conçu pour augmenter les capacités de circulation, mais aussi pour offrir une solution de secours en cas de saturation. À lire aussiLes taxes Trump poussent le Canada vers un rapprochement avec l'Inde et la Chine Un maillon essentiel des chaînes de valeur de l'industrie automobile L'importance de cette infrastructure s'explique également par la place qu'occupe la région dans l'économie nord-américaine. Detroit et Windsor forment l'un des principaux bassins industriels du continent, notamment dans l'automobile. Aujourd'hui, un véhicule n'est plus fabriqué dans une seule usine, ni même dans un seul pays. Un moteur peut être assemblé au Canada, envoyé aux États-Unis, recevoir une boîte de vitesses produite au Mexique avant de revenir au Canada pour une nouvelle étape de fabrication. Les composants traversent ainsi plusieurs fois la frontière avant que le véhicule ne soit définitivement assemblé. Ce fonctionnement en chaînes de valeur nord-américaines impose une circulation fluide des marchandises. Dans ce contexte, le pont Gordie-Howe devient un maillon essentiel de cette organisation industrielle en permettant de sécuriser les flux logistiques entre les deux pays. Un pont devenu un enjeu politique entre Donald Trump et le Canada Au-delà de son rôle économique, le pont Gordie-Howe est aussi devenu un sujet politique. De retour à la Maison Blanche, Donald Trump a estimé que l'accord conclu entre Ottawa et Washington n'était pas suffisamment favorable aux intérêts américains. Le président des États-Unis a alors menacé de retarder l'ouverture de l'infrastructure tant qu'un nouvel accord sur les péages et la gouvernance ne serait pas trouvé. Financé quasi intégralement par le Canada, le projet devait initialement permettre à Ottawa de récupérer son investissement grâce aux recettes des péages. Finalement, un compromis a été trouvé : pendant quinze ans, une partie des bénéfices de l'exploitation alimentera un fonds de développement économique régional. Cette négociation illustre surtout le degré d'interdépendance entre les deux voisins. Car si le Canada a besoin de ce corridor commercial, les États-Unis en dépendent tout autant. Les industriels américains profiteront eux aussi d'un trafic plus fluide, de coûts logistiques réduits et d'une meilleure sécurité d'approvisionnement. Les économies canadienne et américaine sont aujourd'hui si étroitement liées qu'il devient difficile pour l'une de pénaliser l'autre sans en subir elle-même les conséquences. Le nom même du pont résume cette proximité. Gordie-Howe, légende canadienne du hockey sur glace, a construit l'essentiel de sa carrière avec les Red Wings de Detroit. Un symbole qui illustre parfaitement cette frontière entre le Canada et les États-Unis : bien réelle sur le plan politique, mais traversée en permanence par les échanges humains, culturels et surtout économiques.

Au diable Vauvert et sans GPS, l'écrivain et journaliste français signe un éloge des chemins buissonniers et gourmands à travers la France. Et cela vaut le détour ! Se perdre en France, au hasard des nationales et des petites routes, représente pour Victor Coutard, auteur de L'art du détour, un bonheur inégalé, un acte de libération et de résistance aussi. Quitter la grande route et s'égarer à Chassignolles ou Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, s'y arrêter pour découvrir des campagnes et des tablées vivantes, loin des cartes postales ou de certains clichés de relégation, produit pour lui, d'emblée, un autre rapport au monde, au temps et à l'espace qui nous entoure… Pour célébrer les vertus du détour, Victor Coutard puise alors dans ses souvenirs d'enfance de voyages interminables pour rejoindre la maison familiale de Bel-Air ou de routes en famille au volant de sa Renault Captur, avec une carte IGN pour seul repère. Le journaliste culinaire convoque aussi son appétit des bonnes auberges qui réenchantent les villages ou des escapades matutinales quand, enfant, il partait à l'aube, sur la pointe des pieds, explorer la forêt voisine. Au détour de ses virées champêtres pour « entrer en résonance avec le monde », le créateur de la réjouissante newsletter « How to get Lost » partage son goût des champignons, du vélo au petit bonheur la chance et des bons vins, dans une France jamais carton-pâte mais un peu sépia parfois. Ce faisant, il fait de nous, lecteurs ou lectrices, les passagers complices de son vagabondage littéraire pour en arriver à un constat qu'il nous livre sans détour cette fois : notre société en ligne droite, assistée, dirigée par les applis et les « GAFAM », ne nous mène certainement nulle part. Parce qu'il est temps de regarder devant soi avec une attention renouvelée et de renoncer à nos illusions de contrôle, empruntons aujourd'hui les petites routes de France, histoire de se perdre et de se trouver, qui sait, en chemin… En savoir plus : - Sur L'art du détour. Du bonheur de se perdre en France de Victor Coutard. 2026. Éditions Arthaud - Sur la newsletter « How to get lost » sur Substack de Victor Coutard. En anglais.

Lobito, Tazara ou encore Beira et Nacala : les corridors ferroviaires se sont multipliés ces dernières années en Afrique australe. Leur objectif principal : permettre l'exportation et l'évacuation des minerais d'Afrique centrale. Ils sont cependant vantés pour leur capacité à apporter du développement dans les régions qu'ils traversent. Pourtant, ce n'est pas si simple : une étude de l'IFRI pointe des problématiques de gestion, des trajets concurrentiels ou encore des difficultés d'intégration. Thierry Vircoulon, chercheur associé à l'Institut français des relations internationales (Ifri), évoque l'« économie politique complexe » des corridors ferroviaires africains. Ces voies ferrées traversent différents pays et administrations, qui peinent parfois à se coordonner. « Dans la plupart des cas, ces organisations de gestion des corridors sont soit créées très tardivement, soit pas vraiment staffées. Elles ont vraiment des tout petits moyens, et dans certains cas même, elles n'existent pas. Il y a des corridors qui n'ont toujours pas d'organisme de gestion mutuelle », détaille-t-il. Exemple du pont de Kazungula, qui permet le passage du Botswana à la Zambie : c'est l'un des tronçons importants du corridor entre Durban et Lubumbashi. Il a été inauguré en 2021. Les présidents ont créé l'autorité commune de gestion du pont cette année. Ces corridors reçoivent des soutiens financiers de pays en concurrence sur les marchés internationaux des minerais critiques. Et si la multiplication de ces voies de connexion devait être positive pour le commerce africain, l'équation n'est pas si simple, selon l'auteur de l'étude : « Le raisonnement, c'était de dire que le port de Durban était saturé. Mais ce qu'il faut bien voir, c'est que tous les corridors n'ont pas le même prix. Le coût de transport n'est pas le même. Ce seront les corridors les moins chers qui deviendront les plus rentables et qui capteront évidemment l'essentiel du fret. Ce qui veut dire que pour les autres corridors, ce sera une perte financière et qu'ils deviendront beaucoup moins rentables. » Les politiques vantent l'apport économique, notamment pour les régions agricoles, qu'apporteraient ces voies ferroviaires. C'est ce qui a encore été mis en avant récemment dans le cas du corridor de Lobito. Cependant, au Mozambique, les corridors de Beira et Nacala n'ont pas permis l'explosion agro-industrielle tant vantée. Natacha Ribeiro, professeur à l'université Eduardo Mondlane de Maputo, explique : « Il n'y a aucun investissement de la part du gouvernement pour passer d'un niveau de production de subsistance à des niveaux plus commerciaux. Il y a eu des projets par le passé comme le projet d'irrigation de la Banque mondiale.» « Mais cela a été mis en place sans tenir compte des chaînes de valeur. Les communautés ont produit des denrées, mais comme il n'y avait pas de lien avec le marché, il y a eu un goulot d'étranglement. Je dirais donc que nous pourrions faire mieux », poursuit la chercheuse spécialiste des questions agricoles et des communautés rurales. Ces corridors permettent de gagner en prévisibilité et en temps de transport pour les marchandises. Un travail est cependant encore nécessaire pour assurer l'intégration des économies traversées par le rail. À lire aussiUn pont sur le Zambèze désenclave l'Afrique australe

Anatol Lieven assesses new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who faces a country demanding increased spending on health, prisons, and defense despite rising debt costs. While popular for his management of Manchester's transport system, he must navigate radical tax proposals targeting millionaires to raise revenue.

Le géant chinois des batteries CATL s'est associé au fournisseur britannique Octopus Energy pour déployer un réseau de stations d'échange de batteries pour camions électriques en Europe. Derrière cette innovation, qui permet de remplacer une batterie en quelques minutes, plutôt que de la recharger, se cache un enjeu bien plus vaste : le contrôle des infrastructures du transport routier de demain. À première vue, il s'agit d'un partenariat industriel parmi d'autres. Pourtant, l'accord conclu entre CATL, premier fabricant mondial de batteries, et Octopus Energy pourrait profondément transformer le transport routier européen. Aujourd'hui, le développement des camions électriques se heurte à deux obstacles majeurs : leur autonomie et surtout le temps nécessaire pour recharger leurs batteries. Or, dans le secteur du transport, chaque minute compte. Un poids lourd immobilisé pendant quarante-cinq minutes, une heure, voire davantage, est un camion qui ne livre pas, ne facture pas et perturbe l'ensemble de la chaîne logistique. Pour répondre à ce problème, CATL mise sur une solution simple : remplacer la batterie plutôt que la recharger. Le camion entre dans une station automatisée, la batterie déchargée est retirée et une batterie pleine est installée en seulement quelques minutes. Ce système est déjà largement déployé en Chine, où plusieurs milliers de stations d'échange sont en service. Désormais, le groupe chinois veut exporter ce modèle en Europe. À lire aussiLa Chine, championne du monde des poids lourds électriques Un nouveau modèle économique pour les poids lourds électriques L'innovation ne réside pas uniquement dans la rapidité de l'opération. Elle repose surtout sur un changement complet de modèle économique. Avec ce système, la batterie n'appartient plus au transporteur mais à l'opérateur du réseau. Le propriétaire du camion n'a donc plus besoin d'investir dans l'élément le plus coûteux du véhicule. Le prix d'achat du poids lourd diminue, tandis que l'utilisateur paie ensuite un abonnement ou un service pour accéder aux batteries disponibles dans les stations. Pour CATL, l'objectif dépasse largement la simple vente de batteries. Le groupe chinois cherche à devenir l'opérateur d'un véritable écosystème associant batteries, stations d'échange, logiciels de gestion et services aux transporteurs. La valeur ne se situe plus uniquement dans la fabrication industrielle, mais dans le contrôle du réseau qui permet aux camions de continuer à circuler. La bataille des standards industriels est lancée Cette stratégie pose toutefois une question essentielle : celle de la compatibilité des batteries. Contrairement au diesel, identique dans toutes les stations-service, les batteries des camions électriques ne sont pas aujourd'hui standardisées. Si chaque constructeur développe son propre format, le système d'échange devient impossible à généraliser. L'enjeu est donc de parvenir à imposer un standard commun. C'est un mécanisme bien connu dans l'industrie. L'exemple du câble USB-C est particulièrement parlant : quel que soit le fabricant d'un smartphone ou d'un ordinateur, l'utilisation d'un connecteur unique simplifie les usages et favorise son adoption. Pour CATL, l'objectif est similaire. Si les constructeurs européens adoptent son standard de batteries interchangeables, le groupe chinois ne vendra plus seulement des batteries. Il deviendra un acteur incontournable des infrastructures du transport routier européen. Une évolution qui montre que, dans l'économie d'aujourd'hui, le véritable pouvoir ne réside plus uniquement dans la fabrication des produits, mais aussi dans la capacité à définir les règles du jeu.

This episode of FreightWaves Today covers key developments across logistics, freight technology, and the industrial economy: Key Episode Highlights & Topics Industry News & AI Breakthroughs: The hosts review major headlines, including JB Hunt's partnership with startup Overroot to deploy AI-led freight execution platform agents across millions of loads. They also examine Forward Air's nonbinding agreement to retain 50% to 75% of a crucial $250 million account (believed to be NVIDIA) that was at risk due to customer diversification, alongside MARAD's agreement with the Port of Long Beach to test small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). Modal Shifts & Bulk Logistics with Circle Logistics: Nicholas Schipe, Director of Premium Transportation at Circle Logistics, discusses automotive expedited shipping, intermodal conversions, and chemical/liquid bulk freight. He highlights how supply disruptions, port downtimes, and domestic energy production trends (like wastewater and transformer oils) drive modal shifts between rail and truckload. AI and Automation in Warehousing: Andre Luecht, Global Strategy Lead for Transport & Logistics at Zebra Technologies, details how "physical AI," mobile devices, and environmental sensors (e.g., tracking temperature, shock, and ripening gases) empower frontline warehouse workers. He explains how smart assistants give frontline workers instant access to tribal knowledge and standard operating procedures. AAR Rail Data Analysis: The hosts break down the latest Association of American Railroads (AAR) weekly report, pointing to overall volume growth (up 3.4% total traffic, 3.8% intermodal) as a strong indicator of industrial momentum. They contrast solid U.S. demand with declines in Canadian auto parts and commodities tied to trade policy uncertainties. Class 8 Truck Orders & Used Market Dynamics: Chris Ciolino (Industrials Analyst from Bloomberg Intelligence) shares insights on strong Class 8 truck orders and dealer sentiment. He notes that while order backlogs are full through early 2027, much of the volume represents replacement demand ahead of EPA 2027 regulations rather than aggressive fleet expansion, due in part to driver shortages, engine pricing, and tariff impacts. Earnings & Financial Trends with Triumph: Aaron Graft, CEO and Founder of Triumph, breaks down their spectacular Q2 earnings. He reports a 26% increase in average invoice size in their factoring business and highlights why this tight, supply-driven freight market feels structural rather than short-lived. He also discusses operational efficiencies, their 65% market touch in brokered freight, and the rapid 49% growth of their LoadPay digital wallet product. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves Today Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever wished someone else would just plan your whole wine country day for you? On this episode, Janet sits down with Gina Hilliard, president of the Luray-Page Chamber of Commerce, and Chris Snow, owner of the brand-new Valley & Vine Transport, a private curated tour and transport service built around the Shenandoah Valley's craft beverage scene. Chris walks through how it works — guests fill out a short form, his team builds a fully custom itinerary around wineries, breweries, distilleries, and more, and then he handles door-to-door pickup and drop-off in his 10-passenger van. Gina explains why this kind of service is such a win for tourism in Page County, and Chris shares the surprisingly flexible ways people are already using it — from bachelorette-style girls' days to wedding shuttles to keeping overstaying holiday relatives entertained. Plus, Gina previews the chamber's upcoming Women in Business social at Wisteria Farm & Vineyard.

Parents of a couple hundred school children in the Manawatu town of Ashhurst are having to dip into their pockets for buses to Palmerston North from today, as the new term begins. Ratepayers are also stumping up for the services, which were previously funded by the Ministry of Education. The change comes after the ministry reviewed routes into the town and found many children weren't complying with its rules. Jimmy Ellingham reports

Los Angeles will host the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, an event that poses formidable logistical challenges. To put it in terms that will be familiar to many Americans, it is the equivalent of seven Super Bowls happening every day, in one of the world's biggest urban economies. That means huge demands on the city's transport and energy systems. But it also creates a rare opportunity to use the games as a catalyst to accelerate investment that could leave the city cleaner, more resilient and better connected long after the closing ceremony.In this episode, host Ed Crooks talks to Matt Petersen, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, or LACI. Matt explains how LACI has been using the run-up to the Games as a convening point for public and private sector action. The focus has been on transportation electrification, clean energy deployment and building infrastructure that can help Los Angeles cope with an influx of visitors while improving the quality of life for residents in the long term.Transport is key. Los Angeles is sometimes described as the car capital of the world, and transport will be the single biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions associated with the Games. EV sales and charging infrastructure are growing fast. Even so, LACI's modelling suggests that Los Angeles still needs more people using buses and rail, as well as better first-mile and last-mile options, from e-bike share to EV car-share schemes, if it wants to hit its climate targets.The conversation also explores the less visible systems that support electrification and emissions reductions for transport. Matt points to the electrification of freight, the build-out of charging depots, battery-backed fast charging, and experiments with flexible grid connections that can bring new infrastructure online faster. Those developments are central to whether Los Angeles can make room for more EVs and rising power demand without waiting years for grid upgrades.Too often, host cities for the Olympics promise transformative benefits that never fully materialise. Matt's case is that Los Angeles has a better shot than most, partly because it is not building a wave of new permanent venues, and partly because the most important investments are in systems the city needs anyway: electric buses, cleaner freight, charging networks, transit improvements, shade for riders in extreme heat, and cleaner air in communities that have long borne the brunt of pollution.Can a deadline like LA 2028 accelerate progress on some of the hardest problems in urban decarbonization? For Matt, the real prize is not a few weeks of smooth operations during the Games, but a lasting legacy of economic opportunity and lower emissions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
