Looking for straight talk about electric vehicles? Our review of the 2025 Volvo EX40 Twin Motor Ultra pulls no punches, exposing both impressive features and frustrating flaws in this Belgian-built EV. With 402 horsepower and advanced pixel headlight technology, the vehicle offers plenty of power and premium features—but requires navigating through four separate touchscreen interactions just to turn it off.The real-world economics of EV ownership take center stage as we reveal how driving 270 miles required two charging sessions costing $33.59, while the same money would fuel a conventional truck for 232 miles without the charging delays. At an MSRP of $62,045 for our test model, the EX40 faces stiff competition from Mercedes, Audi, and Genesis alternatives.Auto appraiser Michael Wooding joins us to discuss the current state of the classic car market, revealing how economic uncertainty has created a buyer's paradise where normally $25,000 vehicles are selling for just $8,000. Wooding shares valuable insights about auto appraisals for insurance purposes, diminished value claims, and project cars in various stages of restoration.We round out the episode with upcoming car events across Texas and breaking automotive news, including Volvo's decision to trim its US product offerings, the elimination of fuel efficiency penalties for automakers, and Rivian's impressive new electric pickups and SUVs packing over 1,000 horsepower.Whether you're contemplating an electric vehicle purchase, curious about the value of your classic car in today's market, or simply want to stay informed about the rapidly evolving automotive landscape, this episode delivers the unfiltered, expert analysis you need to navigate your automotive decisions.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Automotive enthusiasts, buckle up for a three-course journey through the cutting edge of electric vehicles, the rarified world of elite car collections, and the rugged charm of an off-road icon reborn.We start by examining Volvo's latest electric offering—the 2025 EX40 Twin Motor Ultra AWD. Built in Belgium on the framework of last year's XC40, this all-electric crossover brings 402 horsepower and advanced pixel headlight technology to the premium EV segment. However, not everything about modern technology improves the driving experience. The EX40's touchscreen-centric control system requires four separate taps just to power down the vehicle—an unnecessarily complex solution to a problem that never existed. Despite these interface frustrations, the EX40 delivers competitive performance against rivals from Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Genesis, though at a premium price point starting at $62,045 for the Ultra trim.We then explore automotive passion at its most extreme with a tour of the world's most impressive car collections. From Dmitry Lomakov's Soviet-era treasures in Moscow to Ken Lingenfelter's performance-focused American muscle cars, these collections represent deep dedication to automotive preservation. The Sheikh of Abu Dhabi specializes in off-road vehicles including a massive Mercedes monster truck, while the Sultan of Brunei reigns supreme with approximately 7,000 vehicles valued at $5 billion—including 600 Rolls-Royces, 450 Ferraris, and numerous one-off custom creations that exist nowhere else.Finally, we take the wheel of the 2024 Land Rover Defender, Slovakia's boxy tribute to off-road capability. With its distinctive silhouette and doors that "shut like an old Norge refrigerator," the Defender combines rugged charm with modern luxuries. The mild-hybrid powertrain delivers 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, propelling this 5,000-pound fortress with surprising efficiency. While the $81,923 as-tested price positions it against premium competitors like the Lexus GX and Jeep Wagoneer, current import tariffs present challenges for Land Rover's supply chain.Whether you're fascinated by electric innovation, dream car collections, or capable off-roaders, join us for these automotive explorations that showcase the breadth and depth of today's automotive landscape.

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, host Paul Rodden unpacks two major stories that reveal the tension—and opportunity—in hydrogen's global rollout:

En este podcast vamos a hablar de técnica… y de dinero. Vamos a hablar de imaginación… y de dinero. Vamos a reflexionar sobre modularidad… y sobre el dinero. Porque las marcas, para desarrollar diferentes motores, hacen “trampas” para ahorrar… ¡Dinero! Entre lo que las marcas hacen “de verdad” y lo que cuentan… hay un largo trecho. Cuantas veces he ido a una presentación y me han vendido la burra de lo mucho que se habían empleado en desarrollar un nuevo motor… que de nuevo no tiene nada. ¿Sabes que es un motor modular? ¡Vamos a explicarlo! Aunque te pueda parecer otra cosa, lo realmente complicado de un motor es desarrollar cada cilindro, especialmente la culata. Una vez que has definido el pistón, la forma de la culata, toda la distribución, la posición de la bujía, etc., pues ya tienes el motor hecho. De hecho, las fabricantes de motores comienzan generalmente con un motor monocilíndricos y luego combinando cilindros, los hacen de 2, 4, 5 o los cilindros que sean. Cierto es que la disposición influye y que unos cilindros, cobre todo las vibraciones y las inercias de los pistones, interaccionan unos con otros. Pero no es menos cierto que una vez que has diseñado, por ejemplo, un motor de 4 cilindros, hacer uno de 3 es sencillo: Quitas uno y añades unos árboles de equilibrado. Y hacer un de 5, más sencillo, añades un cilindro. O hacer un V8, que combinas dos bancadas de 4 en V a 90 grados y ya lo tienes hecho. Como os decía al comenzar, ¿cuál es la mayor ventaja de este sistema? Pues que ahorras mucho, mucho dinero. Por eso es un procedimiento que se usaba antes… y se sigue usando ahora. Vamos a ver 10 ejemplo… y un Bonus Track.. 1. Aston Martin Project 003. La marca inglesa ha anunciado un futuro motor V6 con turbo y alrededor de 3 litros que obviamente sería menos potente que su V12 de 5,2 litros biturbo que alcanza y supera los 700 CV, pero que podría alcanzar incluso 450 con menos peso y tamaño. 2. Audi Quattro: Con 5 cilindros. Sencillamente Audi necesitaba más potencia y necesitaba motores para colocarlos en sus coches de tracción delantera, sin que hubiese que hacer cambios. Así que partiendo de la base del motor 4 cilindros de 1,6/1,8 litros añadió otro más. 3. Audi: V6 y V6+2. Audi le fue bien y siguió por ese camino, pero pasándose a los motores en V que tienen ventajas de compacidad… y que pueden llegar a los 8 cilindros. 4. BMW de 3, 4 y 6 cilindros. En 2014, BMW presento su familia modular que comprendía desde motores de 3 cilindros y 1.5 litros a motores de 6 cilindros y 3 litros. Como veis y como veremos, la cilindrada unitaria de unos 500 cm3 en una buena idea y muchos motores parte de esa premisa. 5. Bugatti W16: La suma de dos V8. Son dos motores V6 de “V estrecha” con dos cilindros más para hacerlos V8 y colocados juntos. Un lío, pero si quieres 1.001 CV hay que complicarse un poco la vida… aunque no harían falta tantos cilindros. 5. Ferrari y Alfa Romeo: ¿V8 o V6? Quizás uno de los mejores ejemplos de motor modular es la familia de motores Ferrari de clave F154 que usan Alfa Romeo, Maserati y la propia Ferrari. 7. Mercedes FAME: 4, 6 u 8, a elegir. Mercedes-Benz ha creado su propia familia de motores que denomina FAME que viene de “Family of Modular Engines”. Es de las más amplias. 8. VW de “V estrecha”, VR5 y VR6. En VW se inspiraron en un motor extraño, el V4 de Lancia con una V de un poquito menos de 13 grados, lo que permitía hacer un motor muy compacto. De hecho, hicieron un V6 a 15 grados muy compacto. 9. Renault tipo N: ¿4 o 5? En realidad, es un motor de origen Volvo denominado N7Q cuando es de 4 cilindros y N7U cuando es de 5 cilindros. Se ofrece con cilindradas de 1948 cm3 a 2.435 cm3 y potencias de 136 a 165 CV. 10. Volvo E Drive: ¡Desde 2 cilindros! Volvo diseño a finales de los años 2010 una familia de motores modulares que, según ellos, podían usarse de 2 a 6 cilindros. De momento sirvió para que Volvo utilizase por primea vez un tricilíndrico de 1,5 litros en su XC40 anunciando unos consumos ajustadísimos. Bonus Track. Porsche 968: Medio V8. Lo de los motores modulares, aunque al principio la idea no fuese esa, no es cosa nueva. No os fieis de la IA´s… al menos de momento. Según ellas el Porsche 944 legó a llevar un motor 4 cilindros de 3 litros. Falso. Lo cierto es que el Porsche 924, un diseño de Porsche para VW, lo recompró la propia marca y lo vendió con motor VW. El coche sabía a poco. Luego lanzaron el 944 con motor de 2.5 litros y que recurrió al turbo. Y por fin, encontraron una solución. Tenían el excelente motor V8 del 928, diseñado por Porsche desde cero y que era una verdadera joya que llegó a alcanzar los 5,4 litros. Y alguien pensó: ¿Y si utilizamos medio motor V8? Dicho y hecho, subieron la cilindrada unitaria hasta los 750 cm3 y montaron arboles de equilibrado. Otra joya, que conozco bien, y que alcanzaba los 250 CV. Conclusión. La cierto es que cuando se hacen las cosas bien, los motores modulares son buenos para el fabricante y buenos para los consumidores… lo que sucede es que a veces los ahorros excesivos repercuten en la calidad… que es lo que ha pasado, por ejemplo, a alguna que otra empresa, como la que comienza por Ja y acaba por ar, o la que comienza por Ste y acaba en tis… y no quiero decir nombres.

Lorena Espaillat es la actual Gerente de Marketing de Moviti, pero su historia no empieza ahí. En esta tertulia hablamos de su trayectoria profesional, la influencia que tuvo su padre en su ética de trabajo, y cómo ese empuje la llevó a asumir posiciones de liderazgo a una edad en la que muchos apenas están calentando motores.Conversamos sobre su crecimiento dentro del Grupo Martí, sus experiencias liderando mercados fuera de RD como Puerto Rico y Panamá, y los casos de éxito que ha construido con marcas como Volvo, Fiat y Jetour.Lorena es de esas profesionales que no le teme al trabajo duro, que se arremanga la camisa y se mete en la operación cuando toca, y que entiende que la fórmula detrás del éxito siempre tiene trabajo, pasión y estrategia.

Volvo skriver av över 10 miljarder för SPA2-plattformen – alla har en åsikt om vad som gått fel och så även vi – eller mest Esse faktiskt.Utöver det släpper Tesla en ny bil som vi inte kommer kunna köpa. Dessutom ger de en rabattkampanj som kan tyckas generös men som i alla sammanhang måste man jämföra med totalen.Slutligen är det dags att avslöja om Mercedes CLA with EQ Technology kan vara något för de svenska vägarna.

Manuel Pinto, analista de mercados, ofrece su visión sobre el panorama financiero internacional, con especial foco en los mercados estadounidenses, el sector tecnológico, algunas compañías europeas y el universo Cripto. Wall Street mantiene el pulso alcista. Según Pinto, “los índices americanos continúan con una tendencia muy positiva”, impulsados por el constante aumento de deuda, lo que sigue elevando el valor de los activos financieros. En este contexto, destacó el papel clave del sector de los semiconductores, que “están en una carrera por la innovación, por lo tanto, no van a dejar de invertir”, aseguró. El analista subrayó que empresas como Nvidia, Meta o Apple seguirán siendo pilares fundamentales para que Trump justifique el endeudamiento. En Europa, los resultados de compañías como Volvo y EasyJet han captado la atención. Según comenta Pinto, “Volvo ha sorprendido porque las ventas se han reducido en estados unidos derivado de la guerra arancelaria, pero sorprendentemente las ventas en Europa han subido, incluso en china también”. En cuanto a EasyJet explica que “las huelgas en Francia y el precio del combustible perjudican sus resultados, pero el incremento de pasajeros en este segundo trimestre lo ha compensado”. Sobre el mundo Cripto, el experto financiero valora positivamente las últimas decisiones legislativas en EE.UU que permiten una mayor rapidez y agilidad a la hora de operar con estos activos.

對於很多資深車友來說，Volvo 850的知名度與方正的造型極易辨認，但你可曾注意到，90年代台灣路上曾出現過長得有點像850，但車身小上一號的Volvo房車，那就是Volvo440、460，而480則是雙門車型，外型有些不同。據原廠表示，440、460兩款車是由不同團隊所開發，然而4系列則有著Renault、Lotus的影子，為什麼會這麼說？來聽Celsior訴說當年這段故事！ CELSIORS Youtube頻道：⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@CELSIORS⁠ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1095: Volvo takes a $1.2B charge as EV costs and tariffs bite. Nissan shifts gears in Mississippi, shelving EV plans in favor of SUVs and pickups. And Ford steps up in Texas, donating $1.25M and deploying people and vehicles to aid flood victims.Nissan's $500M investment to build five EVs in Canton has stalled amid political uncertainty and loss of U.S. tax credits. The automaker is eyeing SUVs and pickups to keep the lights on.With EV plans delayed, Nissan is pivoting to body-on-frame vehicles, potentially doubling Canton's output with models like the Armada and Infiniti QX80.A return of the rugged Xterra is also on the table — this time as a hybrid SUV riding on the Frontier truck platform.The shift could revive a plant running at half capacity and counter rising tariffs on imports from Japan.Nissan is even exploring a “what if” collaboration with Honda to build pickups, but one source called it “pie in the sky at this stage.”Volvo Cars is taking a $1.2 billion charge in Q2 as it battles rising costs, tariffs, launch delays tied to its electric vehicle lineup and reduced profitability on two electric models, the EX90 SUV and ES90 sedan.The EX90 began production in June in South Carolina, but saw over a year of delays due to software issues and is launching without key features like lidar, ADAS tools, and bidirectional charging.The China-built ES90 sedan isn't faring better—tariffs in the U.S. and EU have made it tough to sell profitably in Volvo's key markets.The company is in the midst of deep cost-cutting, including layoffs impacting 3,000 jobs globally and 15% of its U.S. commercial staff.Volvo's U.S. sales rose 6% in the first half of 2025, but global deliveries fell 9%, highlighting uneven momentum.Ford and its dealer network are going all in to support Texans in the wake of devastating flash floods.The automaker, along with Ford Philanthropy and Texas dealers, is donating $1.25 million to local charities and disaster relief partners.Beyond dollars, Ford is supplying loaner vehicles to the American Red Cross to expand outreach in hard-hit areas.Ford's new Extended Volunteer Paid Time Off policy allows trained employees to deploy with Team Rubicon for on-the-ground disaster relief.Volunteers will also be packing food boxes for families through the North Texas Food Bank and running shelters and reunification centers.“We're standing alongside our Texas Ford Dealers… to ensure critical support gets to those who need it most,” said Elena Ford.0:00 Intro with Kyle Mountsier and Michael Cirillo0:30 Paul and Kyle were at the Beaver Golf Tournament yesterday1:40 New Auto Collabs episode with John Sacco on recycled metals2:20 Congrats to Ashley Cavazos on being the new President of WOCAN!3:55 Nissan To Pivot Canton, Mississippi PlantJoin 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/

Jill and Tom opened the show with a brief acknowledgment of the podcast's apparent popularity in Sweden. Amusingly, the show is described on Poddtroppen—a Swedish podcast download site—as a “Komedie.” Moving on, the hosts discussed yet another—massive—Ford recall. Tom suggests a reason why Ford might be in the trouble its in. Still in the first segment, the hosts dig into Volvo's recently announced decision to layoff 15-percent of its U.S. workforce. Next, Jill reviews the 2025 Subaru WRX tS, with manual transmission. In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Jennifer Stockburger of Consumer Reports to the show. Jennifer discussed the Consumer Reports recently published Best Cars for Teens lists, and what went into creating them. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Saab!” quiz—which includes a Swedish-themed bonus question. And, as the show wraps up, Jill pledged to try and get passed Apple CarPlay.

The guys tackle the inevitable reality of breaking down away from home - and yeah, "you did it to yourself by choosing to take on flying in midlife." They get real about emergency prep: "have a leatherman, have zip ties, have tape" and for the love of all that's holy, "cash is options, cash is flexibility." Brian drops wisdom about proactive maintenance ("we all do deferred maintenance") while Ted swears by Savvy Aviation as "AAA for aviation" after his windshield cracked mid-flight. Ben reminds everyone that mechanics are surprisingly helpful - "don't worry about it" seems to be their universal response to weekend pilot problems. The crew's advice boils down to: plan your route around services, know your call-out numbers, stay "calm and systematic" when things go sideways, and sometimes, if it's safe. just "put some duct tape on it" and "send it." Their six-point survival plan covers everything from building your network before you need it to knowing "when to walk away"—because "small town A&P's seem to be more available than you would expect."Mentioned on the show:Volvo 940: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_900_Series#Volvo_940Blackstone Labs (oil analysis): https://www.blackstone-labs.com/Evektor EV97: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evektor_SportStarExample of a 'magnetic tablet cooler': https://amazon.com/dp/B0C7PC3155Savvy Aviation: https://www.savvyaviation.com/plans/AirNav (airport information): https://www.airnav.com/Pain Field (PAE): https://www.airnav.com/airport/KPAERAM Mounts: https://www.rammount.com/Leatherman multi-tools: https://www.leatherman.com/Support the Podcast:Join our amazing Patreon community for just $1/month and get access to exclusive content, check ride debriefs, and the best pilot community on the internet: https://www.patreon.com/midlifepilotpodcastConnect with us:Website: https://midlifepilotpodcast.comEmail: midlifepilotpodcast@gmail.comWatch live: Mondays 8PM Eastern on YouTubeDiscord: Join through our websiteA portion of proceeds supports Freedom Aviation Network's anti-human trafficking efforts.

Volvo's current XC90 launched almost a decade ago and was a pivotal piece of the brand's U.S. offerings. Unsurprisingly, the large, three-row crossover performed well for Volvo over the last decade. Despite the brand's pivot into electric vehicles, Volvo has given the second-generation XC90 another facelift to keep it relevant to customers. This extensive overhaul swaps sheet metal and interior pieces to give the XC90's relatively old bones a new, albeit familiar, look. Powering the updated XC90 is the same array of hybrid powertrains, with the B5 and B6 models opting for the mild-hybrid-assisted 2.0-liter I4 that generates 247 hp and 295 hp, respectively. Topping the chart is the plug-in hybrid T8 variant, that throws 455 hp to the wheels.On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren and Autoweek executive editor Tom Murphy put the 2025 Volvo XC90 T8 through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the updated Volvo XC90 and highlights some of the new design elements and features. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Murphy about their experiences in different versions of the updated XC90, how the refreshed Volvo is performing in the marketplace, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 Volvo XC90 special.
