Play NowEpisode 409 of the Twincast Podcast brings a relaxed round table discussion of the 40th Anniversary promotions, current Target exclusives, and Hot Wheels collaborations. The gang digs in with some questions for one another about the how and why's of their collecting habits, takes a great listener question about character attributes matching their roles in the story, and catches up on recent acquisitions and chases. Oddly enough, nobody apologizes for anything they've done in the past 40 years.

P.M. Edition for Sept. 18. In a letter to investors today, legendary investor Warren Buffett said he would step down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway.

Ein Weltkonzern im freien Fall: 85% unter dem Allzeithoch und kein Ausweg in Sicht. Volkswagen steckt in einer historischen Zwangslage. Die jüngste Aufsichtsratssitzung zeigt vor allem eines: Hilflosigkeit auf allen Ebenen. Während 50.000 Stellen gestrichen werden sollen, fordern Großaktionäre und das Land Niedersachsen weiterhin ihre Dividenden. Als Investor musst Du Dich fragen, ob ein Einstieg bei dieser extremen Unterbewertung eine Jahrhundert-Chance oder ein Griff ins fallende Messer ist. Die nackten Zahlen sprechen eine deutliche Sprache, die viele Anleger aus falscher Heimatliebe ignorieren. An der Börse zahlt sich Mitleid nicht aus. Wer sein Kapital schützen und vermehren will, braucht eine klare Strategie statt das Prinzip Hoffnung. Du erfährst: → Warum der Drawdown von 85% bei Volkswagen kein automatisches Kaufsignal ist → Welche unlösbaren Konflikte zwischen Politik, Gewerkschaften und Eignerfamilien den Konzern blockieren → Warum die geplante Verdopplung der operativen Marge auf 9% mathematisch kaum aufgeht → Was hinter dem Angebot einer israelischen Rüstungsfirma für das Werk Neckarsulm steckt → Warum die Dividendenrendite von 6,3% eine gefährliche Falle für Privatanleger sein kann → Wie Du als rationaler Investor mit der aktuellen Bodenbildung im Chart umgehen solltest Investieren aus Heimatliebe oder moralischer Pflicht ist an der Börse der sicherste Weg zur Kapitalvernichtung. Wenn selbst das Management keine Vision für die Zukunft hat, solltest Du nicht Dein hart verdientes Geld darauf verwetten, dass der „gordische Knoten" sich von alleine löst. ▬▬▬ Dein nächster Schritt ▬▬▬ Du möchtest sehen, wie ich mein eigenes Geld anlege und wie wir Vermögensaufbau mit echtem Kapital umsetzen? Im Echtgeldexperiment kannst Du unsere Investmententscheidungen und die Entwicklung des Depots transparent nachvollziehen.

A single week on the calendar can hold the whole arc of car culture: obsession, innovation, shortcuts, and consequences. We start in 1948 with what sounds like a normal used-car buy, when Al Moss picks up an MG TC in Southern California. That small British sports car lights a fuse. Racing, driving around Los Angeles, and frustration with weak dealer support eventually push Moss to open his own shop, which grows into Moss Motors, one of the best-known sources for MG and British sports car parts in America.Then we jump to speed and controversy at Talladega. The inaugural Talladega 500 in 1969 brings the Dodge Charger Daytona to NASCAR, complete with the dramatic nose and massive rear wing that defined an era of homologation specials. We talk about the driver boycott over tire failure fears, why the Daytona still wins, and how the Plymouth Superbird fits into the same aero story, right down to the practical vinyl-top detail that helps you tell them apart.From there it's rapid product evolution with the first major 1966 Ford Mustang update and what those changes say about the Pony Wars and manufacturing pressure. We also highlight Road Atlanta's opening day with Can-Am and how it becomes a landmark American road course. Finally, the mood shifts hard with Dieselgate: the 2015 EPA announcement that Volkswagen and Audi diesels allegedly used software to recognize emissions testing, turning a technical issue into one of the biggest corporate scandals in modern American history.If you love automotive history, classic cars, NASCAR legends, the Ford Mustang story, and the real-world impact of emissions regulation, hit play.

Engineering stays Chinese via Renault's Shanghai centre, and the car uses  60 kW front motor and 27.5 kWh CATL LFP battery for up to 250 km WLTP.GERMAN BEV SALES RISE 75.1% IN AUGUSTGerman BEV registrations jumped 75.1% year-on-year in August, lifting share from 19% to 32.4% while the overall new-car market grew just 2.6%, and year-to-date BEV sales up 53.1%, for a 26.2% share. Volkswagen led, followed unchanged by Mercedes, BMW, Skoda and Audi, while Chinese challengers grew fastest.KIA PUTS EV3, EV4 AND EV5 GTS ON SALEKia has launched GT versions of the EV3, EV4 and EV5 in Europe, joining the EV6 GT and EV9 GT to cover hatchback and fastback, compact, midsize and three-row SUV formats, though the EV4 GT Fastback skips the UK and neither the EV4 GT nor EV5 GT is planned for the US. All three pair dual-motor all-wheel drive with an 81.4 kWh battery and electronically controlled suspension, plus Kia's Virtual Gear Shift and Active Sound Design simulating a gas guzzler.FORD CONSIDERS COMPACT VEHICLE FOR UEV PLATFORMFord is weighing a compact model on its Universal Electric Vehicle platform, which it says supports body styles from B-car size up to commercial vans. I'll whisper it quietly, but could the Fiesta make a comeback as an EV? Such a car would return Ford to a segment it abandoned long ago.DUFFY URGES FORD TO RECONSIDER OR END CHINESE DEALINGSUS Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wrote to Ford CEO Jim Farley on September 3, released to media yesterday, urging Ford to reconsider or end dealings with Chinese companies including its CATL licence, a Geely arrangement, reported BYD talks, Lincoln Nautilus production in China and a proposed Chinese-US joint venture framework.  Ford dismissed it as a wrongheaded attempt to capture headlines, noting the White House praised the Michigan plant days before.ICAUR V25 TO MAKE AUSTRALIAN DEBUT IN SYDNEYThe iCaur V25, a boxy retro-styled electric SUV from Chery's youth-focused sub-brand, headlines what organisers call the largest new-model line-up in Everything Electric history at Sydney Showground from September 18-20. Also debuting are Hyundai's STARIA Electric van, GWM's Haval H7 and Cannon PHEV, Cadillac's LYRIQ-V —plus Lepas L6 and L4 previews.SEVERAL 2027 CADILLAC LYRIQ MODELS RETAIN CARPLAY, ANDROID AUTOCadillac's configurator lists Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard on several 2027 Lyriq models, an exception to GM's 2023 decision to strip phone mirroring from all future EVs.VOLKSWAGEN PLANS LONG-WHEELBASE ID. BUZZ CARGOVolkswagen is preparing a long-wheelbase ID. Buzz Cargo stretching about 5,000 mm — roughly 300 mm longer than the standard van — with cargo volume up from 3.9 to 4.4 cubic metres and load length from 2,208 to 2,405 mm, but maximum payload falling against the short-wheelbase van.83% OF SURVEYED DEALERS BACK UK EV SCRAPPAGE SCHEMESeptember's Startline Used Car Tracker found 83% of surveyed dealers backing a UK scrappage scheme to support EV sales, with only 6% opposing government intervention, 60% wanting the state to promote EV adoption, 61% citing affordability, 26% saying prices are out of reach for too many and 21% pointing to older polluting vehicles.HOYMILES RELEASES 22 KW BIDIRECTIONAL EV CHARGERChinese energy-storage firm Hoymiles released its V2X DC Charger on 8 September, delivering up to 22 kW of bidirectional DC power so an EV can act as a home energy resource, providing backup via V2H during outages and enabling peak shaving and virtual power plant dispatch via V2G. It can draw directly from solar and battery storage, includes an EU MID-certified meter for energy monitoring, and claims 97% peak efficiency in both directions, with charging input of 240–980 V DC and output of 200–1,000 V DC, reversed during discharge.

Electric cars finishing first and second in America's first auto race sounds like a headline from 2026, not 1896. We kick things off with a fast run through automotive history that's packed with proof points: Peugeot showing early gasoline reliability with a 1,271-mile endurance run, a Rhode Island horse track hosting the first US auto race in front of a huge crowd, and Volkswagen returning to German control after WWII. We even hit a sobering milestone from 1897: the first recorded DUI arrest after a cab crashed into a building. From there, we take a detour into real-world nostalgia with the Chevrolet Vega going on sale in 1970. We talk ownership memories, why some people still defend the Vega, and how rare trims like the Cosworth Vega look a lot different when you view them through today's collector lens. It's a reminder that “good” and “bad” cars are often more complicated than their reputations. Then we get hands-on with a full 2026 Toyota C-HR EV review. This all-electric compact SUV returns as a second-generation model with standard all-wheel drive, dual electric motors, 338 horsepower, and a 0 to 60 time of 4.9 seconds. We break down design, interior tech like dual phone charging pads, ride and handling, range expectations, pricing from about $39,000 to $43,429 as tested, and key competitors like the Subaru Uncharted, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Kia Niro Electric. If you're shopping for an affordable electric SUV or deciding between EVs and hybrids, this one gives you real numbers and honest impressions. Subscribe for more car reviews and automotive history, share this with a friend who loves EVs or vintage trivia, and leave us a review.

Hardware still divides the platform: R2 and second-generation R1 vehicles run Unreal Engine 5 for real-time 3D visualisations while first-generation R1s stay on Unreal Engine 4 to preserve screen responsiveness, reflecting the first-gen's 17 electronic control units against the 2024 second-gen's seven-unit zonal architecture, dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin processors and roughly ten times the processing power.REPORTED ID. POLO ORDERS TOP 30,000 BEFORE LAUNCHMore than 30,000 orders for Volkswagen's ID. Polo, priced from €24,995 (about $29,000), have reportedly been placed across Europe before the hatchback's official sales launch, with pre-sales open since late April, demand strongest in Germany and most buyers ordering without having seen or driven the car. A major VW dealer group says the range is effectively sold out with waits of at least ten months, while Volkswagen attributes the delays to strong demand and capacity planned in advance at its Martorell plant in Spain, where it is progressively increasing production.HYUNDAI OPENS STARIA ELECTRIC ORDERS IN EUROPEHyundai has opened European orders for the Staria Electric from €57,450 (about $66,800) for the German Trend nine-seater, using an 84 kWh battery, a 160 kW (218 hp) front motor, up to 430 km (267 miles) WLTP range and an 800V architecture that charges 10-80% in about 20 minutes at 350 kW, plus internal and external 16-amp V2L. At 5,253 mm it is 200 mm longer than the IONIQ 9 and larger than the Kia PV5 and VW ID. Buzz, with up to 1,303 litres of luggage space in nine-seat form, a Prime version adding electric sliding doors, powered tailgate, Highway Assistant 1.5 and a 230V socket, and a Calligraphy seven-seater from €66,950 ($77,800) with Nappa leather, BOSE audio and reclining second-row seats.ELECTRIC VEHICLES OUTSELL PETROL CARS IN AUSTRALIAFully electric vehicles outsold petrol cars in Australia for the first time last month, with 27,078 EVs registered against 25,824 petrol and 23,608 diesel vehicles, taking one in four new-car sales. Including plug-in hybrids, battery-powered vehicles reached 36% of the market while petrol and diesel together fell below 50%, a shift BYD's Paul Ellis put down to falling reluctance and an influx of cheaper Chinese models, leaving public charging capacity as the open question.UK ELECTRIC VAN SHARE HITS RECORD 16.3%UK electric van registrations rose 25.9% to 2,395 units in August, a record 16.3% share of the light commercial vehicle market, with battery-electric vans at 11.0% of new LCV registrations in the year to August. August is traditionally a low-volume month ahead of September's numberplate change, so the share gain may overstate the trend and September will be the clearer test of sustained fleet demand.US DIESEL AVERAGE REACHES $5.85 A GALLONUS diesel hit a record national average of $5.85 a gallon on Friday, according to AAA data cited by the New York Times, 55% above the level at the start of the US war against Iran in late February and above the previous peak set in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. Diesel powers heavy-duty pickups, commercial fleets and farming, so the rise feeds through to supermarket prices, landing weeks before the midterms in a political climate hostile to EVs despite the household cost relief that switching away from the pumps could deliver.BYD OFFERS UK DISCOUNTS OF UP TO £2,500BYD will cut UK prices by up to £2,500 ($3,300) across its DM-i plug-in and electric range from 10 to 21 September in what it calls its biggest-ever sales event, covering the Dolphin Surf, Dolphin, Sealion 07, Seal U DM-i and Atto 2 DM-i, as the UK's record 25.6% BEV share for the first eight months of 2026 still sits below the 33% mandate. The brand has registered more than 110,000 UK vehicles since March 2023, with registrations up 98% to over 48,000 through August and market share rising to 3.48% from 1.92%, and the Europe-specific Dolphin G DM-i arrives this month from £250 ($330) a month.SPD BACKS EU TARIFFS ON CHINESE PLUG-IN HYBRIDSGermany's Social Democratic Party has backed extending EU tariffs to Chinese plug-in hybrids, closing a gap in measures that levy up to 45% on Chinese-built electric vehicles but leave hybrids untouched, setting out the position in an economic-policy paper calling for more resolute protection against "unfair practices". The stance is a notable shift for the CDU's junior coalition partner, given Germany opposed the 2024 EV tariffs and has long resisted tough measures on China for fear of retaliation against key industries.BC2BC LAUNCHES WEST COAST TRUCK CHARGING CORRIDORThe British Columbia to Baja California ZEV Corridor, or BC2BC, has launched along the I-5, linking California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Baja California with an initial deployment of 20 EV charging stations and three hydrogen fuelling stations for the estimated 10,000 trucks using the route daily. CalSTA, CALSTART/Drive to Zero and UC Davis's Institute of Transportation Studies are coordinating planning and investment, with Volvo Group North America, Southern California Edison, Tesla, EV Realty and King Fio Trucking represented at the Port of Long Beach launch.TESLA AND BYD DRIVE KOREAN IMPORT GROWTHImported vehicle sales in Korea rose 9.2% year on year to 29,817 units in August, driven largely by Tesla and BYD, while all five domestic carmakers recorded declines. Union walkouts from July into August lasted around 60 hours and were estimated to have cost about 55,000 vehicles of production, contributing alongside fewer summer holiday production days to a 7.6% fall at Kia, and growth in a market long led by BMW and Mercedes-Benz came mainly from lower-priced EVs.STELLANTIS OFFERS REFURBISHED BATTERIES FOR MOST EV MODELSStellantis is making refurbished high-voltage batteries available for most battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models across its brands, remanufactured to OEM specification with the same performance characteristics and warranty terms as MOPAR original parts. The company says the approach extends product life and prevents waste, saving up to 80% of raw materials and up to 40% of CO2 emissions against new parts, building on its earlier supply of refurbished EV batteries for stationary storage including at Rome Airport.

Recording from his in laws house on Labor Day, Ghost breaks down the biggest diplomatic weekend in months. Kushner and Witkoff spent three hours with Putin in Moscow, then flew straight to Kyiv to meet Zelensky, and Ghost walks through what a former Austrian foreign minister and a former Bush and Clinton trade advisor both made of it. He also unpacks Scott Bessent's awkward sideline meeting with Russia's finance minister at the G20, connects rising gas prices to what he calls software warfare, and pulls apart a leaked Financial Times map showing Ukraine potentially carved up between Poland, Hungary and Romania. From there it is Germany closing Russian consulates in a tit for tat spat, and Germany quietly signing on for Israel's Iron Dome, built at, of all places, a Volkswagen factory. Ghost has thoughts about the historical irony there. A dense, fast moving catch up.

En Allemagne, la victoire de l'AfD en Saxe-Anhalt représente un choc électoral. L'extrême-droite pourrait être en mesure de gouverner une région pour la première fois depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Retour sur les raisons économiques qui poussent les électeurs allemands dans les bras de l'extrême droite. L'AfD se nourrit d'un double déclin : le déclin industriel et le déclin démographique allemand. D'abord, l'industrie. C'est depuis toujours le pilier de l'économie allemande. Dans l'automobile, la chimie, la sidérurgie, ses champions vendaient l'excellence allemande dans le monde entier. Et c'est ce pilier industriel qui, depuis cinq ou six ans, ne cesse de se fissurer. À commencer par l'automobile : d'après une étude exhaustive du cabinet EY parue en février, l'industrie automobile a perdu plus de 140 000 emplois depuis 2019. Depuis, les géants allemands Volkswagen et Mercedes ont annoncé des plans d'économies drastiques et la probable fermeture de plusieurs usines sur le sol allemand. Un séisme. Les raisons sont multiples : le virage raté vers l'électrique, la concurrence chinoise, le coût de l'énergie accentué par les guerres en Ukraine et au Moyen-Orient, les guerres commerciales à répétition déclenchées par Donald Trump sont venues saper un deuxième pilier de l'économie allemande : le commerce international. L'industrie automobile est la plus durement touchée, c'est la plus symbolique, mais ce n'est pas l'exception, c'est la règle : c'est l'ensemble du modèle allemand qui aujourd'hui est en question. Ce déclin est en lien direct avec le vote de l'extrême droite : 10 % des électeurs de l'AfD sont sans emploi. C'est plus que chez n'importe quelle autre formation politique, mais c'est même 5 à 10 fois plus que dans les partis dits de gouvernement. Autrement dit, il y a une corrélation directe entre le chômage, qui est la conséquence de tout ce qu'on vient de décrire, et le score de l'extrême-droite. Mais ça ne suffit pas à expliquer le résultat de dimanche. Pour cela, il faut parler du déclin démographique qui frappe l'Allemagne. La population allemande baisse d'année en année. Le phénomène n'est pas nouveau, mais il s'accentue : en 2025, le nombre de naissances a atteint son niveau le plus bas depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Désormais, l'immigration ne parvient plus à compenser la baisse des naissances, à tel point que l'an dernier, le pays a perdu 100 000 habitants. Et ce phénomène touche particulièrement les régions de l'ex-Allemagne de l'Est, comme la Saxe-Anhalt. Des régions qui, au moment de la réunification il y a 35 ans, avaient déjà subi un exode massif et des fermetures d'usines. Aujourd'hui, ces régions sinistrées sont aussi celles qui attirent le moins les populations immigrées. Les Turcs, les Syriens, les Ukrainiens, les immigrés européens s'installent davantage dans les grandes villes de l'ouest pour y trouver du travail. Les projections des démographes anticipent qu'à l'exception du grand Berlin, les régions de l'ex-RDA pourraient perdre entre 6 et jusqu'à 25 % de leur population d'ici 2045. « Je ne sais pas si vous imaginez le déclassement que cela représente : un habitant sur quatre en moins d'ici 20 ans. » Et c'est peut-être là tout le paradoxe de ce vote AfD : les électeurs de Saxe-Anhalt plébiscitent un parti qui a fait de la lutte contre l'immigration sa priorité, alors que l'urgence serait de redynamiser ces régions en attirant une nouvelle population. Mais ce serait éluder la dimension xénophobe du vote pour l'extrême-droite. Là, on sort de l'économie, et on passe dans le domaine de la sociologie.

Then he turns to Germany, where the AfD just posted its strongest result ever — 43.8% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt — and asks the uncomfortable question nobody in Berlin wants asked: what happens when the only party willing to name migration, energy collapse, and economic stagnation also happens to be ethno-nationalist and pro-Putin?From there: newly surfaced BBC footage tying a Saudi "student" directly to the 9/11 hijackers, why the Strait of Hormuz is still functionally closed a year after the war "ended," a Volkswagen factory getting a second life building Israeli missile defense systems, and why "proportionality" in warfare is — in Yaron's words — barbarism dressed up as ethics. He closes on a robotic surgical system that can now spot blood vessels and nerves live during brain surgery — proof that human achievement never stops compounding, even while politics tries to strangle it.Timestamps — Main Topics0:00 — Labor Day is a celebration of capitalism, not unions — the numbers prove it~20:00 — AfD's landslide win in Saxony-Anhalt and why Germany's "firewall" against it is collapsing~50:00 — Gas prices stay high because the Strait of Hormuz is still not actually open1:11:21 — A dead Volkswagen car plant gets reborn building Israeli missile defense systems1:19:48 — New BBC footage ties a Saudi "student" directly to the 9/11 hijackers1:32:02 — "Proportionality" in war is moral cowardice dressed up as ethics1:40:39 — A surgical robot that spots blood vessels and nerves live during brain surgeryLive Audience Questions1:35:55 — Coke Zero, Diet Coke, or cold turkey?

Europe's carmakers are facing challenges from every direction. With Jaguar Land Rover announcing 4,000 job cuts worldwide and Volkswagen's plans to cut 50,000 jobs, we look at why some of the industry's biggest names are feeling the strain. And how much of this is being driven by the changing market in China?The boss of the biggest UK headquartered tech firm, chip design company Arm Holdings, has said that AI will find a cure for cancer that humans can not in our lifetimes; he also thinks that AI will lead to the widespread manufacture of humanoid robots in the next five years.And we look at why the European Union is betting big on Greenland.(Image Credit: EPA/Shutterstock)

Si è votato ieri per il rinnovo del parlamento locale nello Stato federato della Sassonia-Anhalt, nell'est della Germania. Secondo i risultati definitivi, il partito di estrema destra Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) è al primo posto con il 43,8% dei voti, portandolo a un passo dal conquistare il potere a livello regionale per la prima volta dalla Seconda Guerra Mondiale (Guardian). Favorito da un'alta affluenza alle urne (il 76,5%), il partito anti-immigrazione vicino alla Russia ha ottenuto 39 seggi nel parlamento regionale, appena sotto la soglia dei 42 necessari per governare in autonomia (Ap). Quanto al settore automotive, il fatto che il 61% degli operai tedeschi abbia votato per AfD testimonia che la crisi di Volkswagen sia finita per diventare un potente acceleratore per il consenso del partito di estrema destra. Secondo gli analisti, infatti, il ridimensionamento del grande gruppo automobilistico avrebbe indirettamente influito sul risultato elettorale trasmettendo in primis un senso di sfiducia nella forza dell'economia tedesca e di conseguenza nei partiti tradizionali. Lo spieghiamo con Daniel Gros, direttore dell’Institute for european policy making della Bocconi. L'Opec+ lascia invariati i livelli di produzione di petrolioIeri i sette Paesi Opec+, Arabia Saudita, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakistan, Algeria e Oman, hanno deciso di mantenere inalterati i livelli di produzione richiesti per settembre e per ottobre 2026. Lo comunica una nota dell'organizzazione diffusa dopo la riunione virtuale tra i membri dell'organizzazione tenutasi per esaminare le condizioni e le prospettive del mercato globale. Si tratta di un'inversione di rotta nella strategia del cartello dopo sei mesi di aumenti, decisi a partire da marzo per fronteggiare gli effetti della chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore editoriale UCapital.com Borsa: vendite su Tim e Poste nella settimana decisiva per l’OpasOggi a Piazza Affari si accendono i riflettori sui titoli coinvolti nell’operazione tra Poste Italiane e Tim. A pesare sono soprattutto le vendite su Tim e Poste Italiane, che cedono rispettivamente il 4% e il 3,75%, proprio mentre entra nel vivo la settimana decisiva per l’Opas. Oggi l’amministratore delegato di Tim Pietro Labriola e i dirigenti con responsabilità strategiche della società hanno portato in adesione le azioni detenute all’offerta pubblica di acquisto e scambio totalitaria volontaria promossa da Poste Italiane. Lo rende noto Tim ricordando che, come già comunicato al mercato lo scorso 18 luglio, «il corrispettivo dell’offerta è stato ritenuto congruo dal punto di vista finanziario dal consiglio di amministrazione del Gruppo, che ne ha valutato positivamente il razionale e le prospettive industriali». Facciamo un'analisi con Antonella Olivieri, Il Sole 24 ore. Casa, cresce la platea di chi vive in una casa di proprietà, specialmente fra i redditi più fragiliContinua a crescere in Italia la platea di chi vive in una casa di proprietà. Secondo l’ultima analisi di Confedilizia, tra il 2019 e il 2025 la quota è passata dal 78,8% all’82,6%. Il dato più significativo riguarda però le fasce economicamente più fragili. Nel 20% della popolazione meno abbiente, la quota di proprietari è salita dal 54% del 2019 al 60,8% del 2025: è proprio tra i redditi più bassi che negli ultimi sei anni si registra l’incremento maggiore. A crescere è anche la presenza dei giovani sul mercato della proprietà. Nel 2025 la quota dei giovani proprietari ha raggiunto il 35,8%, rispetto al 28,1% del 2019, anche sulla spinta delle agevolazioni e delle garanzie statali per gli under 36. Parallelamente si è abbassata l’età media di chi accende un mutuo per acquistare casa. Approfondiamo il tema con Giorgio Spaziani Testa, presidente Confedilizia.

Crisis-hit Volkswagen has struck a preliminary deal to sell its Osnabrück plant in Lower Saxony to the state government and Israeli investor Aurelius Capital.  From mid-2027, the iconic factory is expected to start producing equipment for Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, the company behind the Iron Dome missile defence system. But first, we take a look at the state of the German economy following the far-right AfD's historic election win in Saxony-Anhalt. 

Wie in 2020 een aandeel LVMH kocht, is vandaag de dag per saldo geen centimeter opgeschoten. Een wetenswaardigheid dat de Financial Times oppikte. Het aandeel achter de prijzige handtasjes, sjaaltjes en champagne beleefde een behoorlijke achtbaanrit de afgelopen zes jaar. In 2023 was luxemerk LVMH nog het eerste Europese bedrijf dat een beurswaarde van 500 miljard aantikte, maar sindsdien is de koers gehalveerd. Het kan verkeren. Wat er misging, proberen we deze aflevering te ontdekken. Misschien niet het beste voorbeeld om Europeanen aan het beleggen te krijgen. Terwijl dat wel hard nodig is, ziet ING. Ze liet het spaar- en beleggingsgedrag van Europeanen onderzoeken en ontdekte: we durven het nog steeds niet. Nederlanders spannen bovendien de kroon, die zwemmen in het spaargeld maar laten beleggingswinsten links liggen. Waarom dat een probleem is, óók voor de Europese economie, bespreken we deze aflevering. Hoor je ook over: Een tegenvaller in Duitsland (en het is niet de AfD) Machtsmisbruik bij een dochter van heineken Waarom je beter in suiker kunt beleggen dan in aandelen De terugkeer van Twitter Te gast: Han Dieperink van Auréus BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lövei Róbert karosszérialakatos, veteránautó-restaurátor és egyedi autóépítő mesél az amerikai autós világról, Chip Foose-ról, a Kindig-It Designról, Sylvester Stallone Mercury Monterey-jéről, ritka Ferrarikról, Rolls-Royce-okról és egy több mint 500 lóerős Mustangról. Ebben a magyar podcastban szóba kerül az amerikai élet, a siker, a pénz, a kemény munka, a Tesla, a Porsche, a klasszikus autók restaurálása és Róbert személyes története is.   Lövei Róbert Orosházáról indult, majd az Egyesült Államokban épített magának nevet az autórestaurálás és az egyedi autóépítés világában. Az adásban őszintén beszél arról, hogyan jutott el a magyar műhelyektől Las Vegasig és Houstonig, milyen szakmai és emberi kihívásokkal találkozott Amerikában, és mit tanult a kitartásról.   Róbert dolgozott díjnyertes autókon, exkluzív magángyűjtemények különleges járművein és olyan projekteken is, amelyek Amerika legismertebb custom autóépítőihez kapcsolódtak. Megismerhetjük egy arab sejk rendkívül ritka Rolls-Royce-ainak történetét, a Magyarországon épített és többszörösen díjazott „szivar" Wartburgot, valamint Sylvester Stallone 1958-as Mercury Monterey-jét is.   Szóba kerül Chip Foose és a Kindig-It Design világa, egy 23 ablakos Volkswagen busz, az F40 és a LaFerrari elképesztő értéknövekedése, valamint egy különleges, kézi váltós, több mint 500 lóerős Mustang. Róbert azt is elmeséli, hogyan lehet 12 000 dollárért hozzájutni egy olyan autóhoz, amelyben csak a motor 28 000 dollárt ér – és miért hangzott el erre az, hogy „ez már lopás".   Az epizód második felében a régi és modern autók közötti különbségekről beszélgetünk. Tesla vagy Porsche? Automataváltó vagy kézi váltó? Klasszikus mechanika vagy szoftverekkel vezérelt autó? Róbert saját vezetési élményein keresztül mondja el, mi lepte meg a Teslában, és mitől ijedt meg igazán egy brutálisan gyors Porschéban.   A beszélgetés nemcsak autókról szól. Róbert felidézi a COVID-időszakban átélt súlyos egészségügyi problémáját és a vakcinákkal kapcsolatos személyes tapasztalatát is. Az elhangzottak Róbert saját élményeit és véleményét tükrözik, nem minősülnek egészségügyi tanácsnak vagy általános érvényű orvosi állításnak.   Ez egy történet szakmaszeretetről, kockázatvállalásról, becsületes munkáról és arról, hogyan boldogulhat egy magyar szakember Amerikában. Róbert szerint a szerencse mindössze 10–15 százalék – a többiért nekünk kell megdolgoznunk.   FEJEZETEK:   00:00 – Hidegnyitó: Stallone, a 12 000 dolláros autó és Róbert vallomása 01:25 – Lövei Róbert bemutatkozása 02:38 – Orosházától Amerikáig: póker, Las Vegas és újrakezdés 03:57 – Súlyos rosszullétek a COVID-időszakban 05:03 – Díjnyertes autók, Barrett-Jackson és SEMA 06:38 – Egy arab sejk ritka Rolls-Royce-ai 10:33 – A Magyarországon épített, díjnyertes „szivar" Wartburg 15:00 – Visszatérés Amerikába és az első műhelyek 19:58 – Mitől lesz igazán jó egy autófényezés? 22:28 – Hírességek és különleges ügyfelek 26:03 – Sylvester Stallone Mercury Monterey-je 26:41 – Chip Foose és a Kindig-It Design 27:27 – A 23 ablakos Volkswagen busz 29:01 – Magyar sikerek az amerikai autós világban 33:21 – Ferrari F40, LaFerrari és autógyűjtés 39:29 – Trabant, Porsche és az autózás valódi öröme 45:00 – Klasszikus Mercedesek és műhelytitkok 51:26 – Az egyedi, 500+ lóerős Mustang története 58:59 – „Ez már lopás" – a 12 000 dolláros üzlet 01:02:32 – Camaro, árverések és amerikai autóárak 01:10:18 – Az első találkozás a Teslával 01:13:48 – A Porsche gyorsulása, amitől Róbert is megijedt 01:14:59 – Modern autók, elektronika és szoftverfrissítések 01:17:32 – Mit tanácsol Róbert a fiataloknak? 01:20:00 – Munka, áldozatok és a siker valódi ára   Neked melyik történet vagy autó volt a kedvenced?

Historic state election win for German far-right AfD party, US sends envoys to Moscow & Kyiv in new peace effort, Europe makes spaceflight history with rocket launch, and 100,000 jobs to go at German automobile company Volkswagen.

Volkswagen is preparing to quit building cars at four German factories. Every one of them builds EVs.On Thursday this week, in Wolfsburg, Volkswagen's supervisory board voted unanimously — a day ahead of schedule — to approve something called Future Plan 2030.50,000 more job cuts by the end of the decade. The model range gutted and cut roughly in half by 2035. And four German plants placed under a review that could end vehicle production at all of them.Those four plants are Emden. Zwickau. Hanover. And Audi's Neckarsulm.Zwickau was the first large car factory in Europe converted entirely to electric vehicles and Emden was the second. Hanover currently builds the ID. Buzz whilst Neckarsulm builds the e-tron GT and the A6 e-tron.Volkswagen spent something like 2.2bn euros converting Zwickau and Emden alone.Six years later, the company says it cannot demonstrate a competitive future use for either of them.So the question isn't "is Volkswagen in trouble."We knew that already.The question is why the factories it electrified hardest are the ones it now says it can't justify - and what that tells you about how Europe built its EV industrial policy.

It goes on sale in South Korea next month and reaches Europe in the first half of 2027, with UK orders expected to open above £100,000.IMPORTER BRINGS CHINESE-MARKET AUDI EVS TO EUROPEAuto China is importing, homologating and registering Chinese-market AUDI E5 Sportback and E7X electric cars for European sale, undercutting Audi's own models — the 776hp E5 costs €28,000 less than the 543hp S6 Sportback e-tron — with a charging adapter and a two-year warranty through independent repairers. The risks include unclear parts supply, workshops unfamiliar with the cars, driver-assistance tuned for Chinese roads, and the precedent of Volkswagen suing over imported ID.6s in 2023, after which those cars were destroyed.68% OF AUSTRALIAN EV OWNERS FLAG CHARGING GAP IN NRMA SURVEYAn NRMA survey of 42,472 members, including 1,730 EV owners, found 68% of EV owners concerned about a lack of charging infrastructure, while purchase price and range anxiety are fading and EVs near cost parity with petrol cars over a vehicle's life. Fuel costs were the top worry for combustion drivers at 75%, and electrified vehicles took 49.16% of Australia's new-car market in Q2, including 69,414 battery electric vehicles.VOLVO'S EUROPEAN PLANTS TO BUILD GEELY BRANDS FROM 2028Geely Auto Group's new chief An Conghui says Volvo's European factories are expected to build luxury models for sibling brands such as Zeekr and Lynk & Co from 2028, with the 61-year-old Ghent plant in Belgium a likely candidate following an upgrade deal with the Belgian and Flemish governments. Building in Europe would sidestep the EU's 18.8% tariff on Geely's Chinese-built EVs and support the group's target of 1.5 million annual sales outside China.CHERY TO OPEN UK R&D CENTRE AT MILLBROOK IN LATE 2026Chery will open a research and development centre at UTAC Millbrook in Bedfordshire in late autumn 2026, starting with chassis and driver-assistance tuning for British roads before extending into autonomous driving and AI, alongside a pact with Nissan to explore building its UK cars at Sunderland. Chinese brands took about 16% of UK registrations in the first half, with the Jaecoo 7 the third best-selling vehicle overall at 23,840 units, up 184%.CHERY TO LAUNCH IN GERMANY IN 2027 WITHOUT AN EVChery is establishing its German headquarters at Frankfurt's Gateway Gardens and will launch the Chery brand in the first half of 2027 with four Tiggo SUVs, all hybrids or plug-in hybrids and no battery-electric model, despite EVs being Germany's fastest-growing powertrain. An electric Chery Q, compared with the Renault 5 E-Tech, will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October, as the group targets 30 dealers at launch and 100 by the end of 2027.HYUNDAI AND GENESIS DRIVERS GET IONNA CHARGING AT $0.31/KWHFrom 20 August, Hyundai and Genesis EV owners in the US can stack two 10% discounts on Ionna's $0.39/kWh base rate, cutting it to $0.31/kWh, with one discount expiring 30 September and the other continuing indefinitely. Sessions must be started through the car maker's app or Plug & Charge rather than the on-site card reader, and eligible models include the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 9, Kona Electric, GV60 and Electrified GV70, but not the recently discontinued Ioniq 6.HYUNDAI AND KIA PARTNER WITH KALUZA ON SMART CHARGINGHyundai Motor Group has partnered with Kaluza to build smart charging into Hyundai and Kia EVs from August 2026, integrating with the Kia and myHyundai apps so drivers can set a ready-by time and charge on cheaper, cleaner power, launching in the UK first and then Australia. Vehicle-to-grid services are due from 2027, adding to Kaluza's existing work with Stellantis, Volvo, Volkswagen, Porsche and Mitsubishi Motors.DUTCH INSURER UNIVÉ RESTRICTS COVER FOR 14 CAR BRANDSUnivé, a Dutch insurer with over 1.8 million members, has restricted or excluded 14 car brands based on parts availability, repair information and access to qualified workshops, limiting Dongfeng, Lucid, Firefly, Nio and Zeekr to third-party liability and fully excluding Hongqi, Changan, Voyah, KGM, Leapmotor, VinFast, Jaecoo, MHero and Omoda. The brands took 3.6% of July's Dutch registrations, up from 1.0% a year earlier, and dealers call the warning heavily overblown, with Chery saying it holds more than 30,000 parts at Schiphol-Rijk.

Volkswagen überrascht mit dem größten Umbau seiner Geschichte: 100.000 Jobs sollen weg, die Modellpalette wird halbiert – und die Aktie springt an. Für Deffner ist das der Befreiungsschlag, Zschäpitz bleibt trotz eigener VW-Aktien skeptisch und warnt vor Abfindungsmilliarden, Überkapazitäten und chinesischer Konkurrenz. Außerdem streiten Bulle und Bär über Robinhood, Take-Two und die Frage, ob dem Dax nach der ersten September-Minuswoche gleich die nächste droht. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Live Sep 4, 2026  | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12 - Episode 147)Economy; Meta; Galliano; Clancy; Piacenti; Volkswagen; Falkland; Achievement | Yaron Brook ShowWhy does an economy add 162,000 jobs while diesel hits $5.85 a gallon, and why is a fashion designer getting cancelled fifteen years after he apologized — while a killer's murder gets celebrated online? A jury just deadlocked 11-1 on whether a mother who strangled her three kids one at a time was "legally responsible." Meta just agreed to pay up to $18 billion to 47 state attorneys general — with zero trial, zero vote, and zero proof of fraud. And Javier Milei, self-styled libertarian hero, is now threatening private companies over the Falkland Islands. Something is badly wrong with how America decides guilt, regulates business, and defines freedom — and Yaron Brook breaks all of it down in one hour.In this episode: why the August jobs report is a testament to markets surviving government, not thriving because of it — why Trump demanding Fed rate cuts on Truth Social is economically illiterate — why Meta's mega-settlement is regulation-by-extortion in a closed room instead of a courtroom — why The Met cancelling John Galliano's retrospective reveals a culture that can't forgive — why the "mental illness" defense in the Lindsay Clancy case should worry every juror in America — why cheering the murder of Erin Piancetti reveals the same rot as cheering Luigi Mangione — why Volkswagen's 100,000 layoffs are the price of politicized business — and why Milei betraying Falklanders' private property rights for nationalist theater is a genuine disappointment.Timestamps: 0:00 — Intro / weekend show schedule 4:23 — August jobs report: 162K jobs added, why it's the market's win, not government's ~14:00 — Trump demands Fed rate cuts on Truth Social — why that's economically illiterate ~18:00 — Diesel at $5.85: how the war disrupted Gulf refining, not just crude 22:27 — Meta's $12–18B AG settlement: regulation by extortion, not by law 29:20 — The Met cancels John Galliano's retrospective — can a culture ever forgive? 38:26 — The Lindsay Clancy mistrial: is "postpartum psychosis" swallowing criminal responsibility? 41:15 — Erin Piancetti's murder and the ghouls celebrating it online 47:02 — Volkswagen cuts 100,000 jobs: the cost of politicized corporate governance 57:22 — Milei's Falklands reversal: nationalism vs. the people who actually live there 1:04:34 — Good news: Waymo hits 500,000 weekly rides, Nissan's factory robots

Pedro Sánchez comparece en el Congreso sobre la crisis migratoria de Ceuta. Aunque defiende la gestión del Gobierno, admite por primera vez la posibilidad de investigar la implicación de Marruecos. Su intervención suscita fuertes reproches de la oposición y de sus socios, además de exponer tensiones internas en el Ejecutivo. En el sector del automóvil, el grupo Volkswagen prevé la retirada progresiva de la marca SEAT hacia el año 2029 para impulsar la producción de coches eléctricos de la firma Cupra. Esta decisión genera enorme inquietud laboral entre los sindicatos y los trabajadores de la planta de Martorell. Respecto al tiempo, España afronta temperaturas extremas en pleno mes de septiembre con alertas en casi todo el país y la aproximación de una DANA con calima y precipitaciones. El servicio de trenes experimenta una notable bajada en el número de pasajeros durante la primera mitad del año a causa de las constantes averías y limitaciones de velocidad en las vías.

Built on the MLA-Flex architecture designed from the outset for battery power, it weighs around 2885kg but sits 88mm lower in centre of gravity than the V8, retains 900mm wading depth (960mm practical), and tows 2500kg versus 3500kg for the combustion model, with JLR's analysis of 360 million customer journeys concluding it suits 97% of them.NORWAY ELECTRIC CARS REACH NEW RECORDBattery-electric cars took a record 98.7% of Norway's 13,451 new passenger-car registrations in August, up from 96.9% a year earlier and 97.6% in July, according to the Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council. Volkswagen led brands and the ID.4 led models ahead of the Toyota bZ4X and BMW iX3, while Xpeng and BYD together took 11.4% of the market against 4.9% in August 2025.VOLVO EX30 GAINS V2L IN SOFTWARE UPDATEVolvo has added vehicle-to-load charging to the EX30 via an over-the-air update, delivering up to 3kW at 16 amps through a separate adapter connected to the charge port, with supply cutting off automatically below 20% battery. The feature will not be offered in the US, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan or Japan, and arrives alongside a customisable contextual bar, redesigned settings menu and Plug & Charge in some European markets for model-year 2026 cars onwards.RENAULT SCENIC LONG RANGE REACHES 399 MILESThe Renault Scenic Long Range now covers up to 399 miles, a 20-mile gain from an extra 2kWh of capacity, and though peak charging stays at 150kW it holds that rate longer, cutting 10% to 80% charging to 28 minutes from 38. A revised Comfort Range version, possibly not returning to the UK, switches to LFP chemistry with 7kWh more capacity, 290 miles of range and 165kW charging, both paired with the existing 215bhp rear motor.GENESIS PLANS FOUR MORE EUROPEAN MARKETSGenesis will start selling in Austria, Denmark, Poland and Portugal next year despite a 19% fall in European sales, relying on expansion and electrification to fix weak regional performance. Its range is now almost entirely electric, with battery-electric vehicles making up 95% of European sales through July led by the GV60 and GV70, far above the 27% BEV share of the wider European premium market.FORD SHOWS FATHOM PICKUP IN DESERT TESTINGFord chief executive Jim Farley posted footage on September 1, 2026 of the Fathom electric midsize pickup undergoing hot-weather desert testing, revealing the name via a QR code on the camouflage that links to a Ford landing page. Production begins at Louisville Assembly in Q1 2027 ahead of an early 2027 sale date, with Ford claiming more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4 but withholding full specifications.CHINA ISSUES OVERSEAS GUIDELINES FOR CHINESE AUTOMAKERSChinese regulators issued guidelines on September 1 for automakers' overseas operations, telling them to price with reference to costs and market conditions rather than to gain unfair competitive advantage, avoid frequent or substantial price changes, and refrain from misleading advertising. The rules also demand stronger anti-monopoly, anti-corruption, antitrust and social-responsibility compliance, protection of Chinese brand reputation abroad, adherence to local labour laws and better management of political, economic and safety risks in host countries.CANADA RELEASES 24,500 CHINA-MADE ELECTRIFIED-VEHICLE PERMITSCanada released 24,500 further permits for China-made electrified vehicles on September 1, completing the 49,000 first-year quota introduced in January under a trade deal with Beijing that replaced a 100% tariff, though imports still face the standard 6.1% most-favoured-nation rate. Global Affairs Canada issued permits for 15,344 EVs and 259 hybrids in the first six months, leaving importers able to bring in 33,397 vehicles including 8,897 carried-over permits, as BYD, Chery and Geely pursue certification, hiring and dealers ahead of expected sales by early next year.BMW IX3 CROSSES PORTUGAL ON ONE CHARGEA 2026 BMW iX3 50 xDrive drove 739km (459 miles) the length of Portugal on National Road 2 without recharging, finishing with 20% battery left after three days and 14 hours at the wheel with BMW Portugal ambassador Ana Varela driving. The route mixed mountains, winding roads, valleys, plains and towns rather than maximising range, and falls short of a December 2025 run of 1,007.7km from BMW's Debrecen plant to Munich that ended on 2%.US ADDS RECORD STORAGE CAPACITY IN SECOND QUARTERThe US installed a record 20.2 gigawatt-hours of energy storage in the three months to June, with a Solar Energy Industries Association and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence outlook forecasting 71 gigawatt-hours added across 2026. More than 74% of second-quarter capacity was built in states Donald Trump won in 2024, driven largely by Arizona, Texas and Utah, with growth partly tied to data centres using batteries to handle rapid demand swings from artificial intelligence.SOLAR PANELS COOL HYPOTHETICAL TOMATO FARMA simulation found tomato leaves under solar panels ran 1.84°C cooler through the day and up to 7.56°C cooler at peak afternoon heat than in open field, receiving 47% less sunlight but losing only 31% of carbon uptake. Panels above crops were 5.6°C cooler than those over bare soil, recovering about 15% of the efficiency lost to heat, while perceived temperatures for workers fell 4.46°C, and the model could be applied to other climate and crop combinations.
