Podcasts about Zeebrugge

Husband and father, Larry O'Brien, loved the freedom his job as a long-distance lorry driver gave him. But on March 6th 1987, that freedom was almost lost in the horror of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster, in which almost 200 people lost their lives. Larry – who could not swim – risked his own life to pull 30 people to safety. Almost 40 years later, Larry tells Dr Sian Williams why he never felt like a hero, how he came to terms with what happened, and why – after a career change into local politics – he decided to return to the road.

6 maart 1987. Voor de kust van Zeebrugge voltrok zich één van de grootste naoorlogse scheepsrampen van Europa: De Herald of Free Enterprise. In deel 2 horen we KNRM-er Arie, die vertelt over de enorme hoeveelheid slachtoffers. 193 van de 539 opvarenden kwamen om het leven. En komt Frits Spits aan het woord, die die nacht en dag live verslag op de radio deed van deze ongekende ramp. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/knrm/message

Vrijdag 6 maart 1987. Voor de kust van Zeebrugge voltrok zich één van de grootste naoorlogse scheepsrampen van Europa: De Herald of Free Enterprise. 193 van de 539 opvarenden kwamen hierbij om het leven. Meerdere reddingsstations van de KNRM kwamen in actie, zoals Cadzand, Breskens, Neeltje Jans en Stellendam om overlevenden te redden van het gekapseisde schip. Echter een groot deel van hun inspanningen ging uit naar het bergen van de levenloze lichamen. De impact van deze ongekend grote ramp was immens op de KNRM-vrijwilligers. Er komen dagelijks vele vragen binnen over de serie.. over de KNRM zelf en hun fantastische werk. We komen daarom met een extra aflevering, waarop we ingaan op jullie vragen.

El Colegio Oficial de Profesionales del Turismo de la Comunidad de Madrid (Copturmad) ha quedado oficialmente constituido, nombrando su primera Junta de Gobierno y aprobando sus Estatutos en la Asamblea Constituyente celebrada en la Consejería de Cultura, Turismo y Deporte. Este hito busca mejorar la visibilidad y calidad de los profesionales del turismo en la región, así como fortalecer su capacidad de interlocución institucional. El 70% de las agencias de viajes considera que ante el momento de bonanza que está viviendo el sector turístico considerarían razonable comenzar a cobrar por el servicio de asesoramiento que realizan para el viajero, según datos de ObservaTUR. Bilbao recibe por primera vez al MSC Euribia, el barco más sostenible de MSC Cruceros, que se inauguró en junio de 2023 en Copenhague. Este crucero, ejemplo de eficiencia energética y reducción de emisiones, continúa su viaje hacia el Norte de Europa, con paradas en Le Havre, Southampton y Zeebrugge. Alsa obtuvo un beneficio operativo de 157,4 millones de euros en 2023, lo que representa un incremento del 29,2% respecto al año anterior, tras conseguir una cifra récord de pasajeros de 589 millones de usuarios, un 13% más. Un 71% de los españoles asegura que están preocupados por la sostenibilidad a la hora de viajar, según la plataforma de reservas de viajes en tren y autobús Trainline que afirma que un 53% de ellos afirma elegir opciones de transporte sostenibles. Kayak presenta los 10 destinos europeos más asequibles para una escapada durante el puente de mayo, con vuelos por menos de 250 euros. En el top cinco se encuentran: Oporto, Lisboa, Milán, Londres y Dublín. En cuanto a destinos de larga distancia, Marrakech, Nueva York y Miami son más buscados por los españoles en Kayak.

Aujourd'hui, les députés européens qui ont voté en faveur de la fin de la vente des moteurs thermiques en Europe à partir de l'année 2035 doivent se demander s'ils ne devraient pas présenter des excuses. Non pas en ce qui concerne l'objectif de décarbonisation d'une industrie polluante, mais plutôt sur le fait d'avoir pris ce choix d'interdire les voitures thermiques sans étude préalable de l'impact de cette interdiction. Les responsables du port de Zeebrugge reconnaissent que les constructeurs automobiles chinois se servent des ports européens comme d'immenses parkings pour stocker leurs véhicules invendus, parfois depuis 18 mois. Ceci est le résultat d'un chaos sur le marché de la voiture électrique : les Chinois sont en surcapacité sur leur propre marché mais ils n'arrivent pas non plus à écouler les véhicules sur le marché européen car la demande se révèle plus faible que prévu. Deux raisons expliquent cela. Tout d'abord, plusieurs pays ont annulé leurs subsides à l'achat de voitures électriques. Ensuite, la demande est freinée en raison d'un manque de bornes de recharge ou d'une autonomie limitée, ainsi que du prix encore plus élevé par rapport à une voiture thermique. On ne pourra pas dire d'ailleurs que les eurodéputés n'étaient pas au courant. Carlos Tavares, pour ne citer que le patron de Stentys, les avait prévenus en disant que cette interdiction pour 2035 de vendre des voitures thermiques sur le sol européen revenait à dérouler le tapis rouge aux voitures électriques chinoises qui sont 20 à 25% moins chères que les nôtres. Certains observateurs se disent maintenant que la date de 2035, date de la fin de la vente des voitures thermiques sur le sol européen, ne sera pas respectée.

Francia recupera la normalidad con los agricultores volviendo a casa mientras sus colegas belgas y holandeses siguen con las protestas. Este viernes continúan impidiendo la entrada o salida de camiones del puerto de Zeebrugge, que gestiona las importaciones de automóviles y algunos productos frescos procedentes del Reino Unido y otros países. Por otra parte, el primer ministro húngaro Viktor Orbán dice que lo ha dado todo por su país antes de aceptar el acuerdo con la UE para ampliar la ayuda a Ucrania. En el plano corporativo, Mercedes Benz, entre los mejores valores de EuroStoxx después de lograr un flujo de caja mejor de lo esperado. Y la farmacéutica suiza Roche gana 12.327 millones de euros en 2023, lo que supone un retroceso del 7,4%. Entrevistaremos a Alberto Pradas, CEO de EDS ROBOTICS, Premio PYME del año 2023 de Alicante, un galardón que conceden el Banco Santander y la Cámara de Comercio de Alicante. En Expansión y Ciclo, el ministro de Agricultura, Luis Planas, se ha reunido este viernes con las principales asociaciones agrarias mientras el titular de Transportes, Oscar Puente, apela a la responsabilidad del gobierno francés para la libre circulación. Enero cierra con 231.250 afiliados menos y 60.404 parados más tras el fin de la campaña de Navidad, según los datos del SEPE. Temas que sacaremos a debate en la Tertulia de Cierre de Mercados con Juan Iranzo, catedrático de Economía Aplicada de la UNED e Ignacio Ruiz Jarabo, exdirector de la Agencia Tributaria.

 L'Union européenne entend bien jouer l'apaisement. C'est ce que pointe le Guardian à Londres. « Environ 10 000 agriculteurs français ont intensifié leurs manifestations hier, avec au moins une centaine de blocages sur les principales routes de France. (…) Les agriculteurs belges se sont joints aux manifestations à la frontière française et d'autres ont bloqué les routes d'accès au port à conteneurs de Zeebrugge pour une deuxième journée. Des agriculteurs espagnols et italiens ont également manifesté. » Des actions qui, semble-t-il, ont porté leurs fruits, poursuit le Guardian puisque les agriculteurs ont obtenu une « première concession » à Bruxelles, « l'Union européenne annonçant un retard dans l'adoption de règles qui les auraient obligés à mettre des terres en jachère pour encourager la biodiversité et la santé des sols ».Mais il y a d'autres revendications, pointe encore le quotidien britannique : « Les agriculteurs s'inquiètent du coût élevé des terrains, de la pression des supermarchés pour vendre les récoltes à des tarifs proches du prix coûtant et de la pléthore de nouvelles règles environnementales. » Pas les mêmes règles Il y a aussi les importations de denrées agricoles. « C'est un des arguments le plus souvent entendus sur les barrages dressés par les agriculteurs en France ou en Belgique, relève Le Soir à Bruxelles : la distorsion de concurrence créée par la Politique agricole commune entre les producteurs de l'Union européenne et ceux des pays extérieurs à l'Europe. Ces derniers exportent vers les consommateurs européens des produits agricoles et agroalimentaires obtenus via des méthodes d'élevage ou de culture interdites pour les paysans des Vingt-Sept. Dans le viseur, pêle-mêle l'utilisation d'intrants (herbicides, pesticides…) interdits en Europe ou d'OGM, le recours aux antibiotiques comme activateurs de croissance, l'utilisation de farines animales dans l'alimentation du bétail, le non-respect du bien-être animal… »Pourtant, remarque encore Le Soir, « l'Europe reste encore exportatrice nette de produits agricoles. En 2022, les exportations agroalimentaires de l'UE ont atteint près de 230 milliards d'euros. Les importations, elles, se sont montées à 172 milliards d'euros. Mais les agriculteurs craignent qu'à force de conclure des accords de libre-échange, la balance ne finisse bel et bien par pencher de l'autre côté ». Pas une mais des agricultures Autre facteur complexe à prendre en compte dans cette crise agricole, plus particulièrement en France, c'est la diversité des profils et des intérêts représentés. C'est ce que souligne Le Temps à Genève : « Le soulèvement de l'agriculture française peut sembler uniforme et puissant. Il monte comme une vague de colère destinée à déferler sur Paris et à faire céder le gouvernement. Un ras-le-bol légitime au vu des multiples témoignages de ces forçats de la terre qui n'arrivent pas à boucler leurs fins de mois. Une injustice que les dirigeants devraient se résoudre à combler. Mais, pointe Le Temps, une des limites du mouvement vient donc du fait qu'il n'y a pas une agriculture française. Il y a plusieurs agricultures françaises aux destins divergents. À tel point que leurs revendications sont si multiples, pour ne pas dire contradictoires, que le gouvernement ne pourra jamais y répondre dans leur intégralité. Même s'il le voulait. »En effet, précise le quotidien suisse, « les grands exploitants n'ont pas les mêmes intérêts que les petits paysans. On pourrait presque dire qu'ils ne font pas le même métier. Et il y a bien sûr 50 nuances de gris entre ces deux pôles. Avec autant d'objectifs hétérogènes. Comment à la fois aider les petits paysans bios et lâcher du lest sur les produits phytosanitaires pour les grands exploitants ? Comment verrouiller les frontières et soutenir les viticulteurs dont la branche a exporté pour 17 milliards d'euros de vins et spiritueux en 2022 ? » Mettre l'agriculture au cœur de la transition écologique ? Alors quelles solutions ? « Nul ne sait encore quand et comment se terminera le mouvement de grogne des agriculteurs. Mais une chose est sûre, affirme Libération à Paris : il se terminera mal si la porte de sortie finalement trouvée se résume à un moins-disant écologique. (…) Il est temps, s'exclame le journal, que les uns et les autres se regardent autrement qu'en chiens de faïence, car l'écologie est, en réalité, le meilleur allié des agriculteurs pour lutter contre ce libre-échange hors de contrôle qui les pousse dans les bras du toujours plus et toujours moins bien, moins bien rémunéré, moins bien qualitatif. Ce n'est évidemment pas un hasard si le berceau du mouvement de grogne est une région, l'Occitanie, où les impacts du changement climatique frappent très durement les agriculteurs et les viticulteurs. Cette crise est une occasion qu'il ne faut pas manquer, conclut Libération : mettre l'agriculture au cœur de la transition écologique. Cette réconciliation prendra du temps. Il faudra l'accompagner financièrement. Il faudra l'accompagner syndicalement et politiquement. »

An Ennis haulier says drivers are fearful of "gangsters and criminality" in human trafficking from mainland Europe. It comes as the Gardaí have confirmed an international Human Trafficking investigation is underway, after 14 migrants were found in a refrigerated container at Rosslare Europort that arrived from Zeebrugge in Belgium. The 12 adults and 2 children are currently being processed at Citywest in Dublin and the Taoiseach has said they can apply for asylum or be helped to leave the country. Former President of the Irish Road Haulage Association, Eugene Drennan, says checklists are in place to stop illegal border crossings but the intensity of the issue means people can sneak through.

In de duinen van Zeebrugge wordt het lichaam van een vermoorde, jonge vrouw gevonden. De speurders staan voor een raadsel, want er is geen enkele aanwijzing naar haar identiteit. Wat volgt, is een jarenlang indrukwekkend onderzoek met de nieuwste forensische technieken. Ze ontdekken uiteindelijk wie de vrouw is, arresteren ook snel een hoofdverdachte. Maar zelfs op het proces, dat nu start, blijven er nog veel vragen open. "Eigenlijk weet het parket nog altijd niet wat er gebeurd is. Of wanneer de moord gepleegd is."

Iedereen staat klaar voor het vertrek naar Zeebrugge om dan de overtocht naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk te maken richting York. Mijnheer Verschaffel met zijn busje laat op zich wachten.

Annick De Ridder is juriste van opleiding en volgde ook een postgraduaat in Corporate Finance. Ze werkte negen jaar aan de Antwerpse balie, maar raakte al tijdens haar studies gebeten door de politiek. Ze is al meer dan 18 jaar lid van het Vlaamse parlement en sinds 2019 is ze voor de stad Antwerpen als schepen bevoegd voor Stadsontwikleling, Ruimtelijke ordening, patrimonium en… de haven. Ze is bovendien ook voorzitter van de raad van bestuur van de recent ééngemaakte haven Port of Antwerp-Bruges. Want Port of Antwerp/Bruges is verantwoordelijk voor 5% van ons bruto binnenlands product maar ook voor 16% van de totale CO2 uitstoot van België. Dankzij verschillende nieuwe initiatieven en de fusie met de haven van Zeebrugge, staat een duurzamer beleid hoog op de agenda.

More positive news for Rosslare EuroPort as a new freight route between Rosslare and Zeebrugge is set to be established next month opening more European and Global routes for Irish Industry and Glenn Carr General Manager of the Europort spoke with Alan earlier this morning on "Morning Mix"

De haven van Antwerpen fuseerde recent met die van Zeebrugge. De eengemaakte haven heet nu Port of Antwerp-Bruges en wordt daarmee de grootste containerhaven van Europa. Zeebrugge was al de grootste autohaven ter wereld. Danny Deckers had topfuncties in de havens van Antwerpen, Zeebrugge en Valenciennes. Hij introduceert je in de wondere wereld van de haven.

Wo Licht ist, ist auch Schatten. So viel ist klar. Da aber jede Regel auch eine Außnahme braucht, ist manchmal auch gerade da, wo Schatten ist, Licht. In tiefen Hölen, zum Beispiel. In Mooren bei Nacht. Oder in der Tiefsee. Dort finden sich Lebewesen, die wortwörtlich aus sich selbst heraus leuchten. Dieses Phänomen wird als Biolumineszenz bezeichnet, und ist weiter verbreitet, als man im ersten Moment annehmen könnte. Pilze, Fische, Bakterien, Käfer, Fliegenlarven und sogar Haie - unter ihnen allen gibt es biolumineszente Arten, die das Leuchten im Laufe der Evolution immer wieder neu für sich entdeckt haben. Und obwohl viele Wege zum Leuchten führen, ist das prinzipielle Funktionsprinzip immer das gleiche. Wie genau Biolumineszenz funktioniert, wie Licht eigentlich entsteht, und warum man diese Prinzipien auch ganz wunderbar im Labor anwenden kann, klären wir in dieser Folge.

Hơn bốn tháng sau khi chuyến tầu container đầu tiên từ Hà Nội đến thành phố Liège, miền nam Bỉ, ngành vận tải đường sắt Việt Nam hài lòng về tiềm năng phát triển một trục vận tải mới, song song với đường biển. Việt Nam đã « tranh thủ » tuyến đường China-Europe Express, nằm trong Sáng Kiến Một vành đai một con đường (BRI) được chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình khởi xướng năm 2014, để đưa hàng hóa đến tận Tây Âu.  Công ty Cổ phần Vận tải và Thương mại Đường sắt - Ratraco, đơn vị khai thác tuyến đường này, cho biết có 28 đoàn tầu, với khoảng 644 container 40 feet, đã đi sang châu Âu kể từ chuyến tầu đầu tiên xuất phát đi Liège ngày 20/07 đến hết tháng 11/2021. Thực ra, tầu container từ Việt Nam không đi thẳng đến Bỉ mà phải qua Trịnh Châu (Zhengzhou, tỉnh Hà Nam), điểm đầu của tuyến vận tải đường sắt nối với Liège (Bỉ), được khánh thành ngày 24/10/2018. Liège trở thành điểm đến thứ ba tại Bỉ của mạng lưới đường sắt China-Europe Express (gồm Đại Khánh (Daqing) - cảng Zeebrugge từ tháng 06/2017, Đường Sơn (Tángha) - Anvers vào tháng 05/2018 và Trịnh Châu - Liège ngày 24/10/2018). Với mạng lưới đường sắt mà Trung Quốc không ngừng mở rộng, các chuyến tầu container từ Việt Nam sang đến Trung Quốc, tùy theo điểm đến ở châu Âu, sẽ được nối vào các đoàn tầu hàng khác nhau để đến Nga, Ba Lan, Đức, Anh, Bỉ… Phát triển xuất khẩu bằng đường sắt sang châu Âu mang lại những lợi ích gì cho Việt Nam ? Mạng lưới China-Europe Express đóng vai trò như thế nào ? RFI Tiếng Việt phỏng vấn giáo sư Eric Mottet, trường Đại học Công giáo Lille, Pháp. ***** RFI : Ngày 20/07/2021, một đoàn tầu chở hàng đã xuất phát từ Hà Nội để đến thành phố Liège của Bỉ và sử dụng tuyến đường China-Europe Express. Những tuyến vận tải đường sắt của Trung Quốc có tầm quan trọng như nào đối với lĩnh vực vận tải xuất khẩu của Việt Nam ? Eric Mottet : Đúng vậy, chuyến tầu đầu tiên nối Việt Nam và Bỉ đã khởi hành ngày 20/07/2021, cụ thể là đi từ ga Yên Viên, Hà Nội đến thành phố Liège của Bỉ. Điểm hay ở đây là đoàn tầu xuất phát từ Việt Nam sau đó nối với mạng lưới Cao tốc Trung Quốc-Châu Âu (China-Europe Express), đi từ Trịnh Châu (Zhengzhou), qua các nước Kazakhstan, Nga, vào châu Âu qua ngả Belarus, sau đó đi qua khoảng 30 thành phố khác ở châu Âu, và điểm đến là thành phố Liège ở miền nam Bỉ. Ban đầu, đây là chuyến tầu do công ty Décathlon thuê. Décathlon rất nổi tiếng ở Pháp, chuyên bán dụng cụ thể thao, một mặt hàng rất được ưa chuộng ở châu Âu. Công ty này đã thử nghiệm bằng cách xuất 23 container bằng đường sắt vào cuối tháng Bẩy. Chuyến đi khá dài, mất khoảng 30 ngày và do Công ty Cổ phần Vận tải và Thương mại Đường sắt Ratraco khai thác. Ratraco rất nổi tiếng ở Việt Nam và cũng là công ty khai thác tuyến đường sắt vận tải Hà Nội-Lào Cai, đồng quản lý với công ty Maersk của Đan Mạch. Cho đến giờ, đây là một thành công. Kể từ khi bắt đầu chuyến vận tải hôm 20/07, mỗi tuần đều có vài chuyến khởi hành. Tôi nghĩ đã có tổng cộng hơn 30 chuyến từ Hà Nội đến Liège ở Bỉ và chở gần 700 container hàng hóa, gồm máy móc, đồ điện tử, hàng dệt may, vải sợi. Hiện giờ là 3 chuyến một tuần, nhưng hy vọng từ năm 2022 sẽ tăng lên thành 4, thậm chí là 5 chuyến mỗi tuần. Có thể nói, từ một thử nghiệm vào cuối tháng Bẩy thì hiện giờ có lẽ là một thành công. Chắc chắn tuyến vận tải này sẽ còn tăng tốc từ năm 2022. RFI : Vận tải bằng đường sắt có thể trở thành một giải pháp quan trọng cho xuất khẩu của Việt Nam ngoài đường biển ?  Eric Mottet : Như nói ở trên, đây là một loại hình vận tải mới, tạo điều kiện cho hàng Việt Nam xuất khẩu sang châu Âu trong khi Việt Nam và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu đã ký Hiệp định Thương mại Tự do (EVFTA). Đối với Việt Nam, điều đáng quan tâm là hình thức vận tải này có chi phí hấp dẫn và nằm trong khung thời gian hợp lý, đáng tin cậy. Như tôi nói ở trên, mỗi chuyến tầu chở hàng sang châu Âu mất khoảng 30 ngày, ít hơn thời gian vận chuyển bằng đường biển đến 15, 20 ngày.  Ngoài ra, kể từ khủng hoảng đại dịch Covid-19, chi phí vận chuyển container bằng đường biển đã tăng lên rất nhiều và hệ thống giao thông cũng rất rối loạn. Có nghĩa là hiện giờ gần như không còn chỗ trống trong các container chở hàng từ châu Á sang châu Âu và vì không còn chỗ nên chi phí đường biển rất đắt. Cho nên, Việt Nam đã nhận thấy cơ hội xuất khẩu hàng hóa sang châu Âu bằng đường sắt với giá cả hợp lý.  Nhưng phải nhìn nhận là hiện giờ cách vận chuyển này vẫn còn bị hạn chế vì mới chỉ có vài chuyến mỗi tuần. Có thể là sẽ có hơn 8 chuyến mỗi tuần kể từ năm 2023 nếu mọi chuyện ổn thỏa. Cho nên phải nói rằng vận tải đường sắt chưa phải là giải pháp thay thế cho xuất khẩu bằng đường biển. Nhưng dù sao Việt Nam cũng có một giải pháp đáng quan tâm vì hiện giờ có rất nhiều hợp đồng được sản xuất tại quốc gia Đông Nam Á này, trong đó có các nhà sản xuất quần áo thể thao, tiếp theo còn phải kể đến tình trạng thiếu kho bãi ở Việt Nam.  Tất cả những yếu tố này buộc Việt Nam phải tìm ra phương pháp thay thế để xuất khẩu hàng sang châu Âu. Tôi muốn nhắc lại một lần nữa là vận tải bằng đường sắt có lợi thế về chi phí, thời hạn và giúp tránh được những khó khăn liên quan đến vận tải đường biển hiện nay. RFI : Tuy nhiên, có thể thấy rằng sử dụng hệ thống đường sắt Trung Quốc, Việt Nam phần nào bị phụ thuộc nhiều hơn vào nước láng giềng phương Bắc ?  Eric Mottet : Đúng là điều này có thể xảy ra trong bối cảnh dịch Covid-19 kéo dài từ hai năm nay và trong trường hợp bất đồng chính trị với Bắc Kinh. Trung Quốc có thể đóng cửa biên giới và ngăn tầu hàng của Việt Nam vào nước này để sang châu Âu nhưng hiện giờ chuyện này chưa xảy ra.  Thực vậy, Trung Quốc cũng đang cần thu lợi từ hệ thống hạ tầng giao thông nên hoan nghênh Việt Nam sử dụng hệ thống đường sắt của họ. Điều này có ý nghĩa quan trọng đối với Bắc Kinh để bù vào những khoản đầu tư khổng lồ cho những công trình cơ sở hạ tầng được xây ở Trung Quốc. Và để có được lợi nhuận thì phải cần đến một số nước, như Lào, Thái Lan, Việt Nam, sử dụng các tuyến liên vận này để xuất khẩu hàng hóa. Hiện giờ, đây cũng là tuyến đường sắt duy nhất để các nước Đông Nam Á xuất khẩu hàng hóa sang châu Âu. RFI : Có thể nhận thấy Việt Nam hài lòng trở thành đối tác của Trung Quốc khi sử dụng hệ thống đường sắt trong khuôn khổ dự án Vành đai và Con đường (BRI). Tại sao Hà Nội lại do dự trong việc tham gia vào các dự án hạ tầng đường sắt mà Trung Quốc muốn mở rộng qua Việt Nam để đi xuống Đông Nam Á ?  Eric Mottet : Đúng là Trung Quốc cho vay với lãi suất ưu đãi. Ngoài ra, hiện giờ không có nhiều nguồn thay thế cho tín dụng Trung Quốc, cũng như đầu tư vào cơ sở hạ tầng, cho dù cách đây vài tuần, Liên Hiệp Châu Âu thông báo sẽ đầu tư ồ ạt vào các dự án hạ tầng, Hoa Kỳ cũng sẽ làm như vậy. Tuy nhiên, Trung Quốc hiện vẫn là nhà đầu tư khổng lồ vào các dự án cơ sở hạ tầng, trong đó có nhiều nước Đông Nam Á.  Việt Nam do dự vì lý do đơn giản : Việt Nam không muốn rơi vào bẫy nợ. Chúng ta thấy những gì xảy ra bên phía Lào hay ở nhiều nước châu Phi với những khoản tiền khổng lồ. Khi nói đến vài tỉ đô la thì rõ ràng đó là các khoản vay ! Ngoài bẫy nợ, Việt Nam cũng e ngại về việc mất chủ quyền đối với các công trình hạ tầng. Nếu như Trung Quốc đầu tư 80% hay 100% hạ tầng ở Việt Nam thì hẳn sẽ phải dẫn đến việc hai bên đồng quản lý. Phía Hà Nội có thể sẽ phải đặt nhiều câu hỏi để xem liệu có bị mất quyền kiểm soát công trình đó, ngay trên lãnh thổ của mình, hay không. Chúng ta vẫn biết chủ quyền là một vấn đề quan trọng ở Việt Nam.  Ngoài ra, lý do thực sự có thể khiến chính phủ do dự, đó là người dân Việt Nam có cái nhìn khá tiêu cực về Trung Quốc. Ví dụ mới nhất là sự kiện khánh thành tuyến tầu điện số 2 ở Hà Nội, nhiều người Việt Nam thông báo hoặc kêu gọi tẩy chay tuyến đường do Trung Quốc tài trợ và xây dựng. Một yếu tố khác, đó là nghi ngờ về chậm tiến độ. Tuyến tầu điện số 2 ở Hà Nội đã bị chậm hơn rất nhiều và đội phí hơn rất nhiều so với dự kiến ban đầu. Có thể thấy là có rất nhiều lý do để Việt Nam do dự về việc tham gia vào dự án con đường tơ lụa trên lãnh thổ Việt Nam.  Tiếp theo cũng cần kể đến những yếu tố bên ngoài. Hoa Kỳ và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, bằng cách này hay cách khác, “thúc” Hà Nội không tham gia vào tham vọng cơ sở hạ tầng của Trung Quốc. Vì thế, hàng loạt thỏa thuận song phương được ký kết, vốn đầu tư trực tiếp nước ngoài không ngừng đổ vào Việt Nam để Hà Nội không ngả theo dự án Những Con đường tơ lụa mới.  Tuy nhiên, nếu nhìn vào dự án tầu điện do Trung Quốc xây dựng ở Hà Nội thì có thể thấy là dù sao đi chăng nữa Việt Nam cũng đã tham gia vào dự án con đường tơ lụa của Trung Quốc. Nói tóm lại, quan điểm của Việt Nam về Sáng kiến Vành đai và Con đường của Trung Quốc có thể được nhận định như sau : tham gia nhưng không ồ ạt và chính thức, vì nhiều lý do, như vấn đề nợ, mất chủ quyền và người dân Việt Nam thiếu thiện cảm về các dự án cơ sở hạ tầng lớn của Trung Quốc RFI : Như vậy sẽ khó có một tuyến đường sắt cao tốc tại Việt Nam do Trung Quốc tài trợ và xây dựng ? Eric Mottet : Hiện giờ chưa có tuyến đường sắt cao tốc nào nối Trung Quốc và Việt Nam. Vấn đề này hoàn toàn không được đề cập, có thể là vào những năm 2040-2050 nhưng hiện giờ cả chính phủ Việt Nam lẫn Trung Quốc đều không có dự án nào như vậy. Trung Quốc hiện đã có tuyến đường sắt cao tốc đi qua Lào, nên có thể sẽ không thật sự cần đến Việt Nam để xuống Thái Lan, Malaysia và Singapore. Điều này cho thấy Việt Nam sẽ thúc đẩy kết nối đường sắt với các nước láng giềng vì vào tháng 10/2021, chính phủ Việt Nam thông báo sẽ đầu tư khoảng 10 tỉ đô la trong vòng 10 năm để xây dựng hoặc cải tạo một tuyến đường sắt cao tốc. Dù Trung Quốc có thể không phải là nhà đầu tư lớn và quan trọng trong các dự án xây dựng và cải tiến các tuyến đường sắt ở Việt Nam, nhưng vẫn có thể thấy Hà Nội muốn thúc đẩy ngành đường sắt và triển khai cùng lúc các chuyến tầu nhanh và tầu chở hàng. Tuyến giao thông vận tải  này sẽ nối Việt Nam với Lào, Thái Lan, Cam Bốt và dĩ nhiên là với cả Trung Quốc.  Việc Việt Nam ưu tiên ngành đường sắt còn dựa vào các vấn đề chi phí, tốc độ nhanh và cả yếu tố môi trường, hiện rất quan trọng. Theo tôi, Việt Nam không trì hoãn được nữa và sẽ tự kết nối với các công trình hạ tầng ở các nước láng giềng, cũng như Trung Quốc.

To deliver Model Y and Model 3, the company dispatched three cargo ships from China.So far, two of the three have already reached the shores of Europe and docked at ports in several countries to deliver the long-awaited vehicles to consumers. Vessel Helios Ray with the first Model Ys for the European market arrived at the port of Zeebrugge, Belgium on August 15, later it headed to Emden, Germany, and now it is in Bremerhaven, Germany. According to Tesla ship tracker @mortenlund89/Twitter, a number of Model Ys were unloaded in Zeebrugge to be transported to Norway in another vessel. - Glovis Supreme arrived at the port of Zeebrugge, into which the Model Y from Helios Rayl is supposed to have been loaded. After this, according to @mortenlund89, there were 1,300 Model Ys aboard the Glovis Supreme, which was delivered to Norway on August 20. The first shipment has arrived at the port of Oslo and over a thousand happy customers will soon take delivery of the long-awaited Model Y.

It's now expecting to do the same with the rest of the Bolt EV population, including models recently delivered and those in dealer inventories. - The Bolt EV and EUV models use cells made by LG Chem in South Korea through mid 2019, and then Holland, Michigan from mid-2019 on. GM had previously said that the so-called “design level N2.1” made in Michigan were unaffected - GM now recommends that until customers receive new battery modules, they should set their vehicle to a maximum 90 percent state of charge, charge their vehicle more frequently and not allow it below 70 miles of range, and park the vehicle outside immediately after charging. - GM could potentially be replacing all the battery modules—or full packs, as it may turn out—in more than 140,000 Bolt EVs in North America, of which more than 110,000 are in the U.S. - The expanded recall would cost the company $1 billion more than what had been spent on previous Bolt recall efforts, and it stated today that it will seek reimbursement from LG Chem, the cell supplier.

These generators are used for longer periods than the propulsion systems but operate at lower power, which makes it easier to replace them with battery-operated versions, - The company is aiming to replace 15,000 combustion engine generators on boats and RVs with electric-powered versions by 2023. - Consumers typically don't spend as much on fuel for their boats as they do for their cars, which complicates the cost-benefit analysis of going electric - The primary market for electric boats today is smaller lakes and waterways where the distance requirements are limited and speeds are lower. Most of the interest comes from Europe where certain municipalities that are highly dependent on boat traffic - The market is even more niche in the U.S.; one of the more popular applications is electric dinghies that ferry the well-heeled from the dock to their parked yachts - about 90% of electric models being sold today operate below 10 horsepower.

There was a lot of super technical jargon, but here are the top four highlights of the day. - Tesla Bot: A definitely real humanoid robot - Unveiling of the chip to train Dojo - To Full Self-Driving and beyond - Solving computer vision problems Original Source : https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/19/top-five-highlights-of-elon-musks-tesla-ai-day CHIP SHORTAGES MAY BE GETTING WORSE FOR AUTOMAKERS - Toyota announced that 27 assembly lines in Japan will be impacted by the spread of COVID, lockdowns and chip shortages. BMW, Volkswagen and Daimler also signaled a change in delivery expectations due to the shortage. Earlier in the year, BMW said it had ordered enough semiconductors and expected its suppliers to deliver, but in a recent statement, the Bavarians said that supply would remain tight in the second half of the year. The lost output was around 30,000 units so far this year. - Toyota will cut production worldwide 40 percent in September. That translates into 80,000 fewer models produced next month than originally planned. The production cuts will affect Europe, China, United States and other markets. In the U.S., just this month alone, Toyota will deliver 60,000 to 90,000 vehicles fewer than originally planned. - The latest production issues follow news that German chipmaker Infineon was forced to suspend production at one of its plants in Malaysia in June, due to a coronavirus outbreak. A large portion of the worldwide chip production is located in Malaysia - Most analysts point to a return to normality sometimes in 2022 Original Source : https://www.bmwblog.com/2021/08/19/chip-shortages-may-be-getting-worse-for-automakers BATTERY POWER CAPACITY IN THE US GREW BIG TIME IN 2020 - Power capacity — a measure of how much power a battery can instantly discharge — for large-scale batteries grew at an unprecedented pace in the US last year, according to an annual report released this week by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). - 2020 smashed the previous record set in 2018 for the biggest growth in power capacity in the US with 489MW of large-scale battery storage added. That's more than twice what was added in 2018. - Big batteries can also step in when a disaster knocks another power source offline. So on top of cutting down greenhouse gas emissions, they can make the grid more reliable and resilient. - Electricity is currently responsible for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in the US. But a clean grid could tackle emissions from other sectors like transportation and heating as cars, homes, and buildings go all-electric. - Battery storage costs have tumbled 72 percent since 2015, the EIA found, which helps explain why the vast majority of large-scale battery storage power capacity available today only came online within the past six years.

Comments about the Hardware 4 computer were made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk during AI Day, which featured an in-depth discussion on the company's AI-driven initiatives. - Musk remarked that a HW 4.0 or FSD Computer 2 would be introduced in the future. This unit would be a step up from the already impressive HW 3.0 both in performance and safety. - HW 4.0 will be introduced in the Tesla Cybertruck “in a year or so.” Musk later noted that with Hardware 3.0, Tesla's self-driving systems could perform about 300% safer than a human, but for HW 4.0, this number could increase to 1000%.

Among these tests was a fundamental and indispensable part, the winter test. This included a systemic and complete collection of dynamic tests on all types of low-adhesion roads to ensure a safe and comfortable driving experience for users in different scenarios.The summer season in China did not provide the environment and low temperatures the test required. However, New Zealand in the Southern Hemisphere allowed NIO to complete the test promptly. - In July 2021, NIO spent a month testing the NIO ET7 in winter conditions. The renowned Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds (SHPG) of New Zealand, with about 4.9 million m2, boasts 37 snow flats, ice flats, and handling tracks. Situated in the piedmont area adjacent to the Cardrona Valley near Queenstown, a complex mountainous landscape simulated various test environments close to everyday vehicle-use scenarios. - The entry level 70kWh unit offers a 310-mile (500 km) range, with a 100kWh version offering 435 miles (700 km). The top model with a ginormous 150kWh battery pack has a claimed range of more than 621 miles (1,000 km). All the figures are calculated using the Chinese NEDC system.

In ‘Hoe een stad ontstaat' kom je te weten hoe die ene badstad tussen Wenduine en Zeebrugge — ah, hoe heet ze ook alweer — aan haar naam is gekomen.  ‘Hoe een stad ontstaat' komt uit ‘Jij en ik en alle andere kinderen' (uitgeverij Querido) en is voorgelezen en van een soundscape voorzien door Bart Moeyaert.

It flot hat oan it swalkjen west. De goeie wyn wol mar net komme en der is tsjinslach: harren folchskip, de Blue Stone, reitsje se kwyt. Sûnder de Blue Stone is it hiel dreech it Kanaal mei it drokke skipfeartferkear oer te stekken. Uteinlik fine de Blue Stone en de Sterke Yerke elkoar wer yn Zeebrugge. Mar as der in swiere stoarm oankundige wurdt, beslute de mannen om de haven fan Hoek van Holland op te sykjen. As de stoarm oer is, besykje se opnij om Ingelân te berikken en no slagget it wol. It wurdt sels moai waar en stjoerman Guus Schweigmann fiert syn jierdei midden op see.

Anfang 2019: Das Model 3 ist endlich auch in Europa. Doch der Zustand der im niederländischen Zeebrugge eintreffenden Fahrzeuge ist ungenügend. Balazs Brauner ist zu diesem Zeitpunkt der Service-Chef von Tesla für Zentraleuropa. Bei Tesla rollen Köpfe. Sein direkter Vorgesetzter wird für kurze Zeit Elon Musk. Mitten in der Servicehölle versucht er, das Ruder herumzureißen. Abläufe werden umgestellt. Das Unternehmen transformiert vom Nischen- zum Massenhersteller, die Kapazitäten der Service-Center werden ausgebaut, Service-Ranger schwärmen aus. Verärgerte Kunden gilt es wieder einzufangen. Tatsächlich gelingt es, das sinkende Schiff vor dem Kentern zu bewahren. Unter erheblichem Einsatz. Aus familiären Gründen verlässt Balazs im Januar 2020 das Unternehmen. Ist die Servicehölle denn heute vorbei? Wird sie wieder ausbrechen, wenn demnächst auch noch das Model Y kommt? Beim T&Etalk stellte sich Balazs Brauner erstmals den Fragen der Tesla-Community. Und traf auf einen, der in der Servicehölle in Deutschland besonderes Medienecho gefunden hat. Er hatte ausgesprochen viele Tesla bestellt und nach 15 gelieferten Model 3 aufgrund der Auslieferungsqualität vor Bezahlung der restlichen bestellten 85 Fahrzeuge eine Vorab-Prüfung eingefordert, woraufhin Tesla die Bestellungen stornierte: Stefan Moeller vom E-Auto-Vermieter Nextmove.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   IS THIS THE ID.BUZZ SURF VAN IN DISGUISE? "Ever since the concept made its debut in Detroit four years ago, we've been anxiously awaiting the production version of the VW ID.Buzz electric minivan. We're getting closer to that moment, as evidenced by these spy photos that show what seems to be an ID.Buzz test mule. It may look like a VW Transporter commercial van at first glance, but closer examination reveals its true nature." says Autoblog: "The first sign that this is not, in fact, a Transporter is the placard on the back where a license plate would go. It reads "elektrofahrzeug" which translates as electric vehicle. Also unusual are the very large fender flares added to the wheel arches. They imply that the ID.Buzz will have a wider track and stance than the Transporter. Then there's the nose that, while very close to the real Transporter, has been shortened. It's expected to be revealed next year and go into production that year."   https://www.autoblog.com/2021/02/08/vw-id-buzz-spy-photos-transporter-test-mule/   VOLVO CARS GLOBAL SALES GREW 30.2 PER CENT IN JANUARY "Starting 2021 on a strong note, Volvo Cars reported the best January in its history as Europe, China and the US all reported increasing sales. The volume of Recharge models more than doubled in January year-on-year, now accounting for 23 per cent of all Volvo cars sold globally." "European sales for the month increased by 9.0 per cent to 24,857 cars sold, helped by strong performances in key markets such as Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands. Recharge cars amounted to 41 per cent of total European sales. In January 2021, the XC40 was the company’s top selling model with 17,770 cars (2020: 10,802 units), followed by the XC60 with 17,053 cars (2020: 13,353 units) and the XC90 with sales of 7,564 cars (2020: 6,902 units)."   https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/media/pressreleases/276918/volvo-cars-global-sales-grew-302-per-cent-in-january   JEEP WRANGLER EV CONCEPT COMING THIS SPRING "The Wrangler EV is slowly appearing on the horizon, as Jeep has now confirmed that a concept version of this battery-powered SUV will arrive this spring. A teaser photo on the company's new "The Road Ahead" minisite shows that this new spinoff won't mess with the Wrangler's iconoclastic look despite having an entirely different powertrain underneath. We'll see the full concept this spring as part of the Easter Jeep Safari in late March or early April, and the production model could follow either late this year or early in 2022." reports Car & Driver: "A diagram showing the Wrangler EV's underpinnings shows a single electric motor with a (likely two-speed) transfer case, rather than a dual-motor setup like many other all-wheel-drive EVs use. We spot three, or possibly even four battery modules. It'll still have a body-on-frame setup like the standard Wrangler and the plug-in-hybrid Wrangler 4xe."   https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a35451792/jeep-wrangler-ev-concept-teaser/   GET EXCITED ABOUT AN ALL-ELECTRIC HONDA CB "A CB EV could be on the way, based on recent patent filings.  Honda details a possible EV bike that is based on its CB125R, which is the smallest-displacement motorcycle in Honda’s Neo-Sports Café range." according to Jalopnik: "The filings seem to build off prior patent applications and have stoked speculation, but other precedents give the CB EV some credibility. Back in 2019 Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki reportedly agreed to create a consortium that would explore and develop EV tech in moto applications The alleged EV bike looks as if it carries its battery beneath the “gas tank,” which is fitting even if it does raise questions about weight distribution."   https://jalopnik.com/get-excited-about-an-all-electric-honda-cb-1846210115   TESLA OPERATIONS IN CHINA STALLED BY REGULATORS "Regulators in China have temporarily thrown a spanner in the works for Tesla (TSLA) operations, as they have questioned quality and safety issues in its Shanghai factory. Five regulators, including the country’s top market regulator, cyberspace watchdog and transportation authority, summoned the electric carmaker following complaints about abnormal acceleration and battery fires, according to a statement released on Monday." says Yahoo Finance: "In response, Tesla posted a statement on Chinese microblogging platform Webo on Monday, saying: “At present, the company is strengthening internal working mechanisms and processes under the guidance of the competent government departments, and strengthening internal management in all aspects. “For the problems reported by consumers, we will systematically investigate, effectively implement the protection of consumer rights and interests, further implement the main responsibility of corporate quality and safety, effectively maintain social public safety, and better contribute to the healthy and healthy development of China's new energy vehicle market in the future.”"   https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-china-shanghai-factory-regulation-elon-musk-electric-cars-083658187.html   TESLA MODEL YS SPOTTED AT PORT OF BELGIUM IN EUROPE AS GIGA BERLIN PRODUCTION NEARS "Recently, five Tesla Model Ys were spotted in Belgium, which generated a lot of interest. The cars were shipped from the USA and will be used by the company." said Tesmanian: "Twitter user @EstherKokkelman shared a photo showing five Model Ys, although there may have been more. The caption to the photo indicated that the vehicles were in Zeebrugge, Belgium. According to @mortenlund89/Twitter, the first Tesla ship in Q1 2021 arrived at Zeebrugge on February 8. Glovis Captain, which departed from San Francisco, USA, delivered Tesla Model 3 vehicles for Europe, but a few Model Ys were among them, according to the photos."   https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/the-first-five-model-ys-were-seen-in-the-port-of-belgium     @Jaguar: "We're delighted to announce that global chauffeur service @Blacklane has acquired a majority stake in #Havn, London’s all-electric chauffeur service powered by #Jaguar #IPACE and the #JaguarLandRover mobility services arm @InMotionVC"   "With this deal, Berlin-based Blacklane, which operates in more than 300 cities in 50 countries, will add Havn’s all-electric Jaguar I-PACE performance SUVs to its global fleet. App-based ride-hailing service Havn was launched in September 2019 by Jaguar Land Rover’s venture capital and mobility services unit, InMotion." reports Reuters: "Global ride-hailing service firms including Uber Technologies Inc and Lyft are increasingly electrifying their fleets, following years of criticism by environmental groups and authorities over the pollution and congestion caused by their vehicles."   https://twitter.com/Jaguar/status/1359174012744646664   https://www.reuters.com/article/havn-stake-blacklane/chauffeur-service-blacklane-buys-majority-stake-in-havn-to-boost-electric-fleet-idUSL4N2KE3XH   KIA'S LONG TERM EV PLAN "Kia announced an update to its ‘Plan S’ strategy for its future business at the 2021 CEO Investor Day, held digitally today in Seoul. The ambitious update to its mid- to long-term roadmap was presented by Ho Sung Song, President and CEO of Kia Corporation." "By 2030, eco-friendly vehicles such as EVs, HEVs and PHEVs will make up 40 per cent of all sales for Kia, with an annual sales target of 1.6 million units. As part of this, Kia aims to grow EV sales to 880,000 units in 2030 and become a top global seller. Starting with the launch of its first dedicated EV later this year, Kia will strengthen its EV lineup by 2026 with 11 new models – seven dedicated EVs built on the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) architecture, and four based on existing ICE derivatives."     PORSCHE ANNOUNCES NEW CAYENNE SERIES MANAGER "Porsche has found a replacement for Cayenne series manager Manfred Harrer, who left for Apple to work on Project Titan. Stefan Weckbach used to be the chief developer of the Taycan electric model and will now take over responsibility for the large SUV series." according to electrive: "Porsche has recently been more than satisfied with the launch of the Taycan: In 2020, the company based in the German city of Zuffenhausen was able to deliver 20,015 units of the Taycan built at its main plant. Last summer, Porsche even had to borrow 400 employees from Audi’s Neckarsulm plant to better meet the high demand for the electric sedan."   https://www.electrive.com/2021/02/08/porsche-announces-new-cayenne-series-manager/   CONTINENTAL: COVID MAY SPARK CHINA EV SURGE "A Continental survey has revealed that while personal vehicle use has increased in China during Covid-19, this could lead to a boost for electric mobility.  In cooperation with social research institute Infras, the Continental Mobility Study 2020 quizzed people in France, the US, Japan, China and Germany on their mobility habits. More than 45% of respondents in China said they use their car more often because of the coronavirus pandemic – almost twice as high as the figure in Germany (23%)." says ItsInternational.com: "Other findings show that the lack of charging stations is the most cited argument against EVs in four out the five countries in the study. Only in France is the price the most discouraging factor."   https://www.itsinternational.com/its8/its9/news/continental-covid-may-spark-china-ev-surge   NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK Regardless of tech or specs, who do you think is designing the best looking EV, and why?

Téarmaí fada príosúin gearrtha ar thriúr Éireannach. In a court in England, three Irish men and another man were sentenced to long prison terms for the manslaughter of 39 Vietnamese people who died in a refrigerated truck trailer in Essex in October 2019. I gcúirt i Sasana, gearradh téarmaí fada príosúin ar thriúr fear Éireannach agus ar fhear eile faoi dhúnorgain 39 duine de bhunadh Vítneam a bhásaigh i leantóir cuisnithe leoraí in Essex i mí Dheireadh Fómhair na bliana 2019. Maurice Robinson, 26, of Craigavon, and his foreman Rónán Hughes, 41, of Armagh, pleaded guilty to human trafficking and manslaughter. Phléadáil Maurice Robinson, 26 bliain, as Craigavon, agus a shaoiste Rónán Hughes, 41 bliain, as Ard Mhacha, ciontach i ngáinneáil ar dhaoine agus i ndúnorgain. Robinson was also sentenced to thirteen years and four months in prison for pleading guilty to money laundering. Gearradh téarma príosúin trí bliana déag agus ceithre mhí ar Robinson a phléadáil ciontach chomh maith i sciúradh airgid. Hughes was sentenced to 20 years. Téarma 20 bliain a gearradh ar Hughes. The other two, Éamonn Harrison, 24, of Co Down, and Gheorghe Nica, 43, of Basildon, Essex, were convicted of the same charges. Ciontaíodh an bheirt eile, Éamonn Harrison, 24 bliain, as Co an Dúin, agus Gheorghe Nica, 43 bliain, as Basildon, Essex, sna cúisimh chéanna. Harrison was sentenced to eighteen years in prison and Nica 27 years in charge of the conspiracy gang. Téarma príosúin ocht mbliana déag a gearradh ar Harrison agus 27 bliain ar Nica arbh é ceann feadhna na buíne comhcheilge é. The trailer was taken by Éamon Harrison to the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium before being shipped to England by ferry. Ba é Éamon Harrison a thug an leantóir go calafort Zeebrugge sa Bheilg sular seoladh ar aghaidh go Sasana ar bhád farantóireachta é. 39 Vietnamese people die in lorry trailer The bodies of the 39 people - 31 men and eight women - were found in the lorry at an industrial estate in the town of Grays in Essex east of London. Bhásaigh 39 duine ó Vítneam sa leantóir leoraí Fuarthas coirp an 39 duine - 31 fear agus ochtar ban - sa leoraí in eastát tionsclaíochta i mbaile Grays in Essex soir ó Londain. They had paid up to € 14,590 each to the conspirators. Bhí suas le €14,590 an duine íoctha acu le lucht na comcheilge.

Suite et deuxième volet de notre série sur la campagne litchi à Madagascar, dans la ville portuaire de Tamatave qui vit ses derniers jours d’une saison très courte,moins de 15 jours, mais réellement intense. En termes de tonnages, Madagascar n’est pas un très gros producteur de litchis. La Chine produit par exemple 19 fois plus de petits fruits roses que la Grande île. En revanche, Madagascar monopolise depuis plusieurs décennies la place de premier exportateur de l’hémisphère sud. La raison ? Le pays est le seul à pouvoir approvisionner les pays de l’Union européenne, consommateurs saisonniers de litchis, au moment des fêtes de fin d’année. Toutefois, la filière de ce fruit tropical reste très artisanale. La production est alimentée par plus de 30 000 petits producteurs, disséminés sur une bande de 250 km de long au nord et au sud de Tamatave. Alors, pour arriver à exporter quelques 15 000 tonnes de litchis à l’international en moins de 15 jours, la Grande Île bénéficie d’une arme redoutable : des opérateurs rodés à une organisation millimétrée et une main d’œuvre disponible en abondance. Un véritable tour de force logistique.  Dans le hangar qui jouxte le quai, les camions chargés de litchis font la queue pour pouvoir déposer la précieuse marchandise au pied du Reefer. Un cargo aux cales entièrement réfrigérées conçu pour transporter de très gros volumes. La gestion du chargement du bateau est confiée depuis 20 ans à Benoit Leverrier, un Français envoyé par les importateurs européens. A ses côtés, au port, 40 personnes s’activent jour et nuit dans cette course contre la montre. « Du fait que ce soit une campagne qui ne dure que 8 jours, c’est unique sur des filières fruits, que ce soit la mangue, la banane, l’ananas, où là, ce sont des productions annuelles qui sont exportées chaque semaine ou chaque mois. En termes de chargement, je dirais qu’on est dans des performances importantes puisqu’on arrive à charger jusqu’à 3 000 tonnes par jour. C’est un rythme d’autant plus honorable que nous ne travaillons que deux navires par année. Alors que dans les autres ports, en prenant la référence de la Côte d’Ivoire, ils travaillent un bateau par semaine. Donc ils font entre 50 et 55 bateaux par an. Ici, la première journée, chaque année, il faut remettre en place les automatismes, l’organisation, les réflexes. Et l’efficacité. » Nous sommes jeudi 19 novembre. Les cales du second et dernier bateau en direction de Zeebrugge, gros port européen en Belgique, se ferment définitivement … 3 jours à peine après celles du premier navire. Un exploit. Dans sa station de litchis, les traits tirés, Yvon Régis, l’un des trente exportateurs litchis du pays, peut enfin souffler. Encore un ou deux conteneurs à remplir pour Dubaï et les Caraïbes cette semaine, mais le gros du travail est terminé. « On achète du litchi, on produit des palettes de litchi pendant huit, et là c’est intense. Mais on a 400 personnes qui travaillent toutes les nuits. Et quand tout est fini, qu’on n’a plus à expédier, on ferme. Et on se revoit dans un an, avec le personnel. » Les délais sont si courts que toute la chaîne logistique doit être maîtrisée. Même le paiement des producteurs, collecteurs et transporteurs a été optimisé. « Depuis 5 ans, on a un vrai changement, on fait le paiement de nos producteurs par téléphone, via Mvola (opérateur de mobile money). Avant on passait à la banque, on retirait l’argent avec tous les risques que ça comporte, et après on avait des coffres à l’intérieur de nos bureaux et on payait en espèces et ça prenait beaucoup de temps. Et puis on parle de milliards d’ariary ! Donc c’était très dangereux. C’est quand même plus pratique et plus sécurisant. » Seul paramètre difficilement maîtrisable et aux conséquences dommageables : la pluie. Elle empêche la cueillette, le soufrage et le chargement dans le bateau. A elle seule, elle est le grain de sable qui peut mettre en péril la saison. Et rempli ou non, le premier des deux bateaux doit partir pour arriver, non plus deux, mais désormais quatre week-ends avant les fêtes. En effet cette année, face à l’incertitude du marché européen causée par les confinements successifs, les importateurs ont choisi d’élargir la plage des ventes et de proposer du litchi pour le 6 décembre, la Saint Nicolas. Un coup de poker, qui, s’il s’avère payant, pourrait redonner de l’élan à une filière qui s’est construite autour d’une date, le 25 décembre, et qui doit sa réussite à une opération logistique unique au monde.

Mijn gast in deze aflevering is Stijn Meuris (1964), zanger van Noordkaap, Monza, en Meuris. Hij is ook journalist, televisiemaker én radiopresentator bij Willy, waar wij nu collega's zijn. Stijn Meuris woont in het centrum van Kermt bij Hasselt. We gingen zitten naast één van de boekenrekken in huis, waarop naast boeken ook een platendraaier, een gitaar, een nagebouwde raket en een popje van Einstein stonden. Wat meteen al laat zien: Stijn Meuris heeft een héél brede interesse. Ons gesprek gaat over atlassen en geschiedenisboeken, over de muziek van David Byrne én Stijn zijn eigen muziek. Over de naam Monza en de titel Van God Los. Over zijn persoonlijke ontmoeting met één van de drie auteurs van de boeken die hij gekozen heeft. En over zijn periode als bibliothecaris in Zeebrugge en welke man die we allemaal kennen toen zijn baas was. Alle boeken en auteurs uit deze aflevering vind je hier. De drie boeken van Stijn Meuris zijn: 1. David Byrne: How music works 2. Jean-Pierre Van Rossem: Belgisch uranium voor de eerste Amerikaanse en Russische atoombommen 3. Neil MacGregor: Duitsland, biografie van een natie

The vehicles are reportedly en route to the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium, where they will be distributed to countries such as Germany and France." says Teslarati: "Recent reports from Chinese media have announced the shipment of thousands of Made-in-China Standard Range Plus Model 3s from Gigafactory Shanghai. As noted by Tesla owner-enthusiast @Ray4Tesla, the shipments will start next week on Tuesday, October 27. Tesla owner-enthusiast Armand Vervaeck suggested that the China-made Model 3s could be shipped by train to Europe due to the vehicles being fitted with protective wraps. Based on comments under Teslarati’s previous article, it seems that shipments by train would have an estimated arrival time of two weeks."   This does point to towards Model Y coming to Europe, if demand in China allows. And Model 3 from Fremont no longer has to do the 20 day journey down the West Coast, Mexico etc, through the Panama Canal and across the Atlantic. Plus the margin on those MIC cars is much better.   As a commenter notes: "Tesla can charge more for an SR+ in Europe vs China, LFP Version provides better margin compared to the US Model 3 might be battery cell constraint along with the model Y ramp. So to supply Europe, they can further diversify their cells. So I believe they bypass Chinese demand in favor of supplying Europe. Can't wait to see first European YouTube reviews about the MIC M3 build quality etc."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-china-export-europe-start-date/   TESLA RESEARCHERS PRESENT BATTERY WITH 2 MILLION MILE LIFECYCLE "Tesla battery researchers around Jeff Dahn have presented updated test results for their battery cells. Instead of one million miles, the batteries are now expected to last 10,000 cycles and provide traction power for more than two million miles – that’s about 3.2 million kilometers." says electrive: "With “special additives”, the batteries should be able to withstand 10,000 cycles. Assuming a relatively conservative 350 kilometer range per cycle (i.e., a full charge from 0 to 100 percent), this would be 3.5 million kilometers. Whether 3.2 or 3.5 million kilometers: the one million miles or 1.6 million kilometers announced in September 2019 seem to be clearly surpassed. If the batteries were only discharged by 25 to 50 per cent of their capacity, they would show almost no degradation. This is a charge level range that many electric car drivers use in practice – the battery is rarely discharged to less than 20 per cent, on the other hand, it is rarely charged over 80 per cent."   https://www.electrive.com/2020/10/19/tesla-researchers-present-battery-with-2-million-mile-lifecycle/   TESLA HAS OVER 120 OPERATIONAL MICROGRIDS "Tesla has over 120 operational microgrids around the world using its batteries and renewable energy, according to a new comment from an executive. Ever since the launch of Tesla Energy and its stationary energy storage products, Tesla started working on microgrid projects" says electrek: "Michael Snyder, director of engineering and construction, energy projects at Tesla, released the information in a Linkedin post about a new position on the microgrid team: If you like solving problems at the nexus of power systems interactions, protection coordination, system and product level controls, and DERs (Powerpacks, Megapacks, solar, and generators), check out the link below for a microgrid-focused product engineer. We have 120+ operational microgrids around the world with high impact to a variety of communities/customers. This is a unique and rewarding role."   https://electrek.co/2020/10/19/tesla-120-operational-microgrids-world/   TESLA EXPANDS CHARGING IN EUROPE Tesla’s Supercharger network has rapidly expanded since the beginning of the quarter with over 250 new Supercharging stalls located all over Europe, with around 240 of these being V3 Superchargers.

These join the 4S E-Hybrid that was launched when the Panamera was facelifted a few months back" writes evo.co.uk: "The Turbo S E-Hybrid reclaims its position as the most powerful Panamera derivative, now peaking at 690bhp, 9bhp more than before. The extra power is derived from the 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine at the core of the powertrain, which on its own produces 563bhp. Despite its near 2500kg kerb weight, the Turbo S E-Hybrid will reach 62mph in 3.2sec (0.2sec quicker than the previous model) and go on to 196mph, while also being able to cruise for up to 31 miles on the electric motors alone.

This essay is part of "On China's New Silk Road," a podcast by the Global Reporting Centre that tracks China's global ambitions. Over nine episodes, Mary Kay Magistad, a former China correspondent for The World, partners with local journalists on five continents to uncover the effects of the most sweeping global infrastructure initiative in history. If Venice makes you think of scenic canals and singing gondoliers, think, too, about how Venice was once a center of global trade. Goods from as far off as China would travel on the ancient Silk Road, in ships that would sail right up to the city’s San Marco Square. That trade brought Venice wealth, ideas, innovations — and disease. The bubonic plague, which geneticists have traced to its origins in China, wiped out a third of Venice’s — and Europe’s — population in the mid-14th century. Venice’s innovation then was to isolate incoming travelers on islands until it was clear they weren’t infected. It was the dawn of the quarantine.Now, in a new pandemic, Italy faces new challenges. Its economy was already in recession with high unemployment before COVID-19 hit this spring. In March 2019, disgruntled populists, skeptical that the European Union had much to offer Italy, led the way to make Italy the first G7 country to join China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) — a global infrastructure initiative to build a belt of land routes and a maritime road of sea routes, in which Chinese loans and investments, and mostly Chinese state-owned companies, are building roads, railways, ports, pipelines, 5G networks and more around the world.  The hope was that joining the BRI would help Italy export more of its products to China, narrow its considerable trade gap and pull in new Chinese investment. China has already invested some $20 billion in Italy over the past 20 years. But that investment peaked four or five years before Italy joined the BRI. And significant new Chinese investment, or a new Chinese appetite for Italian exports, hasn’t exactly been pouring in since — certainly not this year amid a pandemic.  Related: The 'China dream': China's new Silk Road begins at homeBut Italy’s move closer to China, which the European Union calls “a systemic rival,” served as a wakeup call to the EU: If it doesn’t help member economies when they’re feeling economic pain, they could come up with solutions that may not be in the EU’s strategic interests. When Italy’s economy reeled under COVID-19, the EU offered Italy help: more than $200 billion in cheap loans and grants from the EU’s coronavirus recovery plan, an outsized share of the $890 billion total available in the fund.The EU appeared to be applying a lesson learned during the 2008 financial crisis. At the time, it insisted that an already suffering Greece undergo austerity measures. Instead of being squeezed indefinitely, Greece accepted investment from the Chinese state-owned China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO) to manage, and eventually buy, a majority stake in Greece’s storied ancient port of Piraeus, which also happens to be one of Europe’s most strategically located ports. COSCO’s investment has helped transform Piraeus into the busiest port in the Mediterranean.Chinese investments in the Italian ports of Genoa and Trieste were mentioned in the memorandum of understanding Italy signed when it joined China’s BRI last year, a fact that got some Europeans speculating about whether a Chinese presence in those ports would be a Trojan horse for China to dominate central Europe.Michele Geraci is an Italian economist who, as Italy’s undersecretary of economic development at the time, was instrumental in moving Italy to join the BRI. He dismisses such concerns as overblown, given how many European ports China already manages or owns.“When we hear warnings that Chinese should not invest in the Italian ports, it’s too late. China has already invested in all major European ports and almost manages 15 to 20% of European traffic.”Michele Geraci, former Italian undersecretary  of economic development“We have Bilbao, Valencia, Antwerp in Belgium, Zeebrugge, Piraeus in Greece of course, Dunkirk, Le Havre, Marseilles, Nantes in France, Malta, Rotterdam in the Netherlands,” he says. “So when we hear warnings that Chinese should not invest in the Italian ports, it’s too late. China has already invested in all major European ports and almost manages 15 to 20% of European traffic.” The container port in Trieste, Italy.  Credit: Courtesy of Mary Kay Magistad The challenge, he says, should be for Italians to figure out how to make Chinese investment work for Italy’s interests.And in Trieste, a picturesque city rising above the Adriatic Sea, with a port going back to the Roman Empire, and a free port for 300 years, port president Zeno D’Agostino sees great opportunity.“We must try to use this opportunity, which is to be a node in world logistics,” he says. Related: China's new Silk Road traverses Kazakhstan. But some Kazakhs are skeptical of Chinese influence.D’Agostino says he’s been working with Chinese partners to get more Italian exports to eastern China. He’s looking to develop areas of Trieste’s free port, with factories and warehouses to take advantage of its free trade status — only paying duty on goods when they leave the warehouses.  He’d been expecting this kind of investment from the Chinese. But while that’s been slow to come, the publicity that came to Trieste when Italy joined China’s BRI has drawn in more European investors. “I don’t need the money of the Chinese, I can tell you, without problem,” D’Agostino says. “So if we do what we agreed, we are both satisfied. If they do what they want, and it’s something different from what we agreed, we cannot do [it].”Italy’s “Golden Power” rules prohibit the sale of ports and other strategic assets to foreign entities. Back in Venice, the head of its modern Marghera Port, Pino Musolino, says it’s a good thing Italy has those restrictions because China has proven adept at establishing a presence at strategic ports all the way from China to Europe.“The Belt and Road [Initiative] is not just about infrastructure,” he says. “It's a huge design aimed at controlling trade flows and controlling the main global value chains. If you control those, you don't need to control any army anymore. You are controlling the very specific wealth of any country along those economical corridors. Chinese are very much aware of this, and they are doing a very good job on this, honestly. And they are also very straight forward on this, I have to say, I don't see them particularly scheming on this. They have a clear goal and they are pursuing it.” Italy’s government, made up of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement and the center-left Democratic Party, is working out its own goals for what they expect to be an economic bounce next year, after Italy’s economy contracts 8 to 9% this year. There’s talk of upgrading train lines and creating a fast broadband network. China’s Huawei had been in the running. Italy’s leaders have since reconsidered using them, citing security concerns.

Show #861    Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 7th August 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Welcome to a new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER TODD OAKES   Welcome to new PARTNER DARIN AND SUZANNA MCLESKEY – here’s a little about Darin and Suzanna: “Hey Martyn! I'm a real estate broker in and around "The Motor City". I put nearly 50k miles a year on my Model S, and own a 500e for running errands out of my downtown Detroit office. My office is blocks away from the GM Hamtramck plant set to build the Hummer Truck. I have 33 solar panels on my home, a Cybertruck on order, an electric riding mower for my rentals, and love all things sustainable and EV-related. With all of my driving and mowing, I really enjoy listening to your show and the way it's presented!

The LYRIQ's 100-kilowatt-hour battery provides it with 300 miles of range, though there's a slight caveat here. This figure is "Based on initial Cadillac testing. Official EPA estimates not yet available." However, by late 2022, the LYRIQ's project on-sale date, that range of 300 miles might seem too low." says InsideEVs: "At-home level 2 charging rates of up to 19 kilowatts are optionally available and DC fast-charging of more than 150 kilowatts is promised. The DC charging figure is not impressive, but we don't yet know it's charging curve or taper, so we won't draw any conclusions as to charging times just yet. LYRIQ will come in both a standard rear-wheel-drive configuration and a "performance" all-wheel-drive option. Visually, the LYRIQ wears the brand's new design language, which incorporates a unique "grille" with distinctive lighting elements, multiple vents within the bumper, and very slim, vertical headlights."   Looks like the Dyson car. Model 3 door handles! Old fashioned gear shifter.   GM said: "Ultium’s state-of-the-art NCMA (nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum) chemistry uses aluminum in the cathode to help reduce the need for rare-earth materials such as cobalt. In fact, GM engineers reduced the cobalt content by more than 70 percent, compared to current GM batteries. A 33-inch-diagonal advanced LED display artfully integrates a single, large screen that spans the viewing area for the driver and incorporates driver information details, infotainment controls and camera views. This new display has the highest pixel density available in the automotive industry today and can display over one billion colors, 64 times more than any other vehicle in the automotive industry, providing a stunning in-vehicle experience unlike anything seen before from Cadillac."   Cadillac tonight revealed the first-ever 2023 #Lyriq, an all-electric crossover that will have more than 300 miles of range, rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive, GM’s SuperCruise hands-free driving system, remote self-parking, DC fast-charging, and a 33-inch curved screen. 19-speaker sound system, 33" curved LED display and more! Cadillac Lyriq Pricing Expected Under $75,000   2021 AUDI E-TRON GETS $8,800 PRICE CUT, PLUS MORE RANGE "The Audi E-Tron is getting a new and significantly cheaper entry point for the 2021 model year. Audi is introducing an entry-level Premium trim with a base price coming in $8,900 cheaper than last year’s base E-Tron. Now, the base E-Tron last year was the Premium Plus trim, so this is essentially a de-contented E-Tron that you’re getting for far cheaper than before (No Matrix-design LED headlights, heated and ventilated 12-way power front seats, four-way power lumbar for driver & passenger, heated rear seats, 3D Bang & Olufsen sound system, Audi phone box with wireless charging, glass optic and aluminum-look buttons, and the driver assistance package.)" says Autoblog: "That new base price? It’s $66,995, including the $1,095 destination charge. Since the destination charge is $100 more in 2021 than it was in 2020 ($995), that effectively makes the price cut $8,800 year-to-year. The official EPA rating has shot up from 204 miles to 222 miles thanks to a number of optimizations and software enhancements. For starters, Audi has increased the usable amount of the battery by almost 3 kWh up to 86.5 kWh.

" writes Autocar: "Around 800-900 e-Niros are now on their way to UK dealerships, in addition to the approximately 7000 units sold so far this year. Kia said this will “allow for the shortest lead times for the MY20 e-Niro since launch”. Customers who place an order for the e-Niro now could receive their car as early as next month, Kia added. The newer Soul EV has also fulfilled its UK allocation of around 1200 units, so Kia is upping supply slightly to meet demand. A UK spokesperson for the brand estimated that it would sell roughly 1400 Soul EVs in 2020."   https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/kia-boosts-supply-e-niro-and-soul-ev-meet-demand   You can listen to all 860 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) AVID TECHNOLOGY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER)   DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) OEM AUDIO OF NEW ZEALAND AND EVPOWER.CO.NZ (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY – MILLBROOK COTTAGES AND ELOPEMENT WEDDING VENUE (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY (PARTNER)   ALAN ROBSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASHLEY HILL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRENT KINGSFORD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG COLES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DARREN FEATCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVE DEWSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GILBERTO ROSADO (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GEOFF LOWE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN SEAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODICERS) JOHN C SOLAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEN MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KYLE MAHAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LARS DAHLAGER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARK BOSSERT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MATT PISCIONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MICHAEL PASTRONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NIGEL MILES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL RIDINGS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)               PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)  PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAJ BADWAL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAJEEV NARAYAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RICHARD LUPINSKY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB HERMANS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

The regulation, which CARB calls the “first in the world,”is meant to be a step towards California meeting its long-term emissions goals." reports Engadget: "The rule would apply specifically to medium- and heavy-duty trucks weighing 8,500 pounds or more. Under the mandate, every new truck sold in California will be zero-emission by 2045, according to CARB. It further states that by 2035 the state will have an all zero-emission short-haul drayage fleet in ports and railyards, and that by 2040 there will be zero-emission “last-mile” delivery trucks and vans."   https://www.engadget.com/california-push-for-zeroemissions-heavy-trucks-032143253.html   FIRST EUROPEAN POLESTAR 2 CUSTOMER VEHICLES ARRIVE IN ZEEBRUGGE PORT The first shipment of Polestar 2 customer vehicles has arrived in Europe. The Belgian transport hub in Zeebrugge received the shipment which is awaited in anticipation by thousands of new Polestar owners. Vehicles for customers in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK are following closely behind as delivery ramps up to meet customer demand. Deliveries to customers in Switzerland will take place later in 2020.n Sweden and Norway. Handovers are scheduled for August. The 300 kW all-wheel drive powertrain has a large 78 kWh battery pack that will enable a targeted range of 500 km (310 miles) and a dynamic drive. The car features a suite of driver aids, including the highly advanced Pilot Assist, helping to ensure that the high-performance drive is also a safe one. The panoramic roof keeps the cabin light and airy, while pixel headlights provide maximum illumination at all times.   Norway - NOK 469,000 European Countries ~EUR 58,800 United Kingdom - £49,900   ENTRY-LEVEL KIA E-NIRO NOW ON SALE IN THE UK Up until now, the e-Niro has been available in a single, high specification model, but that now changes with an expansion of the line-up to include three feature rich versions named ‘2’, ‘3’ and ‘4+’. For the first time the 39kWh battery pack will be available to UK buyers.  The battery is capable of travelling up to 180 miles on a single charge. Available on the ‘2’ specification, the newcomer is priced at just £29,595, after the Plug-in Car Grant has been deducted (£32,595 without). It joins a pair of high specification models in ‘3’ and ‘4+’ grades that feature the high-powered 64kWh battery pack. A driving range of more than 282 miles on a single charge is possible, with the ‘+’ moniker symbolising that it incorporates an AC 11kW three-phase charger as standard, the first time that it has been offered on the e-Niro.   ‘2’ 39kWh £29,595 ‘3’ 64kWh £33,850 ‘4+’ 64kWh £36,145   NISSAN ARIYA TO BE UNVEILED ON JULY 15, 2020 "Nissan announced that the production version of its next-generation all-electric model, the Ariya, will be unveiled on July 15, 2020 in Yokohama, Japan. The Nissan Ariya Concept was shown at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, hinting at a new dual-motor all-wheel-drive platform for the entire Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance." says InsideEVs: "For Nissan, it's a very important new model, which will be key to returning to the EV game, as the Nissan LEAF is no longer a top player these days."   https://insideevs.com/news/430687/nissan-ariya-unveiling-july-15-2020/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles   CADILLAC LYRIQ EV DEBUTS AUGUST 6 "We should’ve seen the Cadillac Lyriq by now. The automaker’s first fully-electric crossover was originally slated to debut on April 2 in Los Angeles, but coronavirus brought those plans to a screeching halt. Now – conveniently timed on the same day as Ford’s new F-150 debut – Cadillac wants us to know the Lyriq will arrive on August 6." according to Motor1: "It’s important to remind everyone that the Lyriq is technically a concept vehicle. Cadillac describes it as “not a concept but a precursor,” but the takeaway is the same. When the Lyriq finally breaks cover in August, it still won’t be the EV Cadillac you can buy in dealerships."   https://www.motor1.com/news/430832/cadillac-lyriq-ev-crossover-debut-august/   VW TRADEMARKS 'E-SAMBA' IN EUROPE "We first saw the ID. Buzz concept a few years ago, and have since been eagerly awaiting a production version, which we expect in 2022. We don’t yet have an official name for that production vehicle, but the folks at VW ID Talk forum may have uncovered a clue. VW has filed for the “e-Samba” trademark with the European Union Intellectual Property Office."So the “e-Samba” trademark could be the name of the new electric van. Or — and this is what we’re hoping for — it could be the name of a variant of the upcoming vehicle, perhaps one with a ton of extra glass or some other features to help capture the spirit of the original. It’s also possible VW doesn’t have specific plans to use the name yet."   https://www.autoblog.com/2020/06/25/volkswagen-e-samba-trademark-id-buzz/   BMW HAS INTERNAL PRESSURE TO BUILD ELECTRIC-ONLY PLATFORM "BMW is getting some internal pressure to build an electric-only platform and move away from the strategy to build cars with several different powertrain options on the same platform. In 2018, the German automaker unveiled its fifth-generation electric powertrain technology, which is first going to be used in the iX3 electric SUV. At that point, BMW hadn’t released a new all-electric vehicle in five years, and now two years later, the automaker has yet to bring another one to market." writes electrek: "However, we now learn that BMW is seeing a push internally to build a dedicated EV platform.  Manfred Schoch, chairman of the BMW Group Works Council, told Der Spiegel that the German automaker needs its own electric-only platform. Autocar is reporting that a 3 series electric is being tested as well with release expected in the 2023ish time frame. Will it be too late to challenge the Model 3 at that point?"   https://electrek.co/2020/06/26/bmw-internal-pressure-build-electric-only-platform/   TESLA SEMI JOINS DELIVERY TEAM "2Q 2020 is a challenging quarter for Tesla because the Fremont factory was temporary halted the production over a month due to the COVID-19. Nevertheless, seems like Tesla will show high rates that will surprise us because now Semi has joined the delivery team to bring vehicles from Fremont for the quarter-end push." says Tesmanian: "Twitter user @emanueIreyes posted photos demonstrating that Tesla electric trucks are loading up Tesla cars in Fremont. These impressive shots demonstrate that Semi is ready for full functionality. Despite the global crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Tesla maintains stronger-than-expected supplies thanks to, among other things, the dynamics of the Chinese market, which began to recover rapidly after the first quarter."   https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-semi-joins-delivery-team-to-bring-vehicles-from-fremont-for-the-quarter-end-push   HOW MANY CARS WILL TESLA DELIVER IN Q2 2020? PREDICTIONS ARE LOOKING UP "with the quarter coming to a close, Tesla cancels people's U.S. deliveries if they live far away from the Fremont factory, and instead delivers the cars to local buyers. This speeds up the process and allows the automaker to sell more vehicles before the quarter ends. However, it also means that paid reservation holders on the east coast are now waiting longer for a car." says InsideEVs: "Wall Street is predicting a 25% year-over-year drop related to Tesla's Q2 2020 deliveries. Analysts are forecasting 60,000 to 70,000 copies moved. However, Electrek reported that sources are saying the automaker could shock the world with a much higher number. The publication goes so far as to say Tesla may even be able to come close to beating its previous Q2 record of 95,000 deliveries."   https://insideevs.com/news/430969/tesla-record-delivieries-q2-2020-beat-wall-street/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   How would you like to see Green Plates or Green Stickers used to incentivize EVs?   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 231 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

*)Trump lifts Turkey sanctions, quits ‘blood-stained’ Syria President Trump ended sanctions against Turkey on Wednesday, drawing a line under US involvement in what he called “blood-stained” Syria. Trump said he was lifting sanctions because there was relative calm in the area. The first Russian patrol in northern Syria got under way on Wednesday, the defence ministry in Moscow announced. *)Truck with 39 dead came to England from Belgium UK police are revising their theories about a truck found in Essex with 39 bodies inside, saying it traveled from Belgium, not from Ireland. Essex police said the truck went from Zeebrugge in Belgium to Purfleet in England via ferry. The 39 people were found dead early Wednesday at an industrial park in southeast England. *)Republicans disrupt impeachment deposition GOP House members stormed a closed-door deposition with a defence official, briefly halting the Democrat-led Trump impeachment investigation. Democrats said the move compromised national security because some of the two dozen Republicans brought electronic devices into a secure room. Earlier, a US diplomat testified he was told President Trump was withholding aid from Ukraine unless President Zelenskiy pledged to investigate Democrats. *)Bangladesh sentences 16 to death for burning teen alive A religious school principal was among 16 people sentenced to death in Bangladesh for the murder of an 18-year-old girl. The killers set Nusrat Jahan on fire on the roof of her madrasa after she refused to withdraw her sexual harassment complaint against the principal. Police said in their charge sheet that the murder was carried out at the principal’s order. *)Two strains of polio eradicated, but threat far from over And finally, The World Health Organization and partners are expected to announce that they have rid the world of type 3 polio virus, leaving only type 1. The global effort to eradicate polio originally aimed to wipe out the potentially fatal crippling disease by 2000. While cases have dropped dramatically, the virus remains entrenched in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where there have been 72 cases of polio in after only eight in 2018.

On the eve of this weekend's Echoes festival in Dalkey, celebrating Maeve Binchy and Irish writing, its programmer, author Henrietta McKervey, and Maeve's widower, Gordon Snell, join me to talk about the thinking behind the festival and the many ways in which Maeve's memory is being kept alive. The festival always has Maeve at its heart but each year it has a different theme. This year's theme is Celebrating Community in Contemporary Writing in Ireland. Last year's theme was “Maeve the quiet feminist”, a description she loved, says Gordon, as it was the first time anyone ever called her quiet. McKervey discusses the highlights of this weekend's festival as well as her experience of being the first winner of the Maeve Binchy UCD travel scholarship, including a hair-raising vist to Fastnet lighthouse. Snell reveals how he loves to re-read his late wife's work, which only confirms his admiration for her briliance as a storyteller: “her dialogue is so good it could be put straight on the stage”. He reminisces about their cameo roles in film adaptations of Maeve's work, usually in a restaurant or at a bar drinking cocktails served by Stephen Rea, but also in an episode of Fair City. He also discusses how he manages to write without his former partner – Maeve once described them working together in their upstairs studio at their typewriters as like two pianists performing a duet. As our interview takes place inThe Irish Times office, talk inevitably turns to Maeve's distinguished career as a journalist here. Snell reveals that his favourite article by her is I Was A Winter Sport, about a calamitous ski trip, while McKervey expresses admiration for Bincy's versatility as a writer, shifting in shade from reporting sensitively on the Zeebrugge ferry disaster to writing wittily about the British royal family. Echoes runs from October 4th till 6th in Dalkey. For ddetails, visit the website

The EQC turns out to be very strong in adult and child occupant safety:   Adult Occupant - 96% Child Occupant - 90% Vulnerable Road Users - 75% Safety Assist - 75%   "Mercedes-Benz enters the all-electric market with the fully-electric compact luxury SUV EQC. This is the first of Daimler’s EQ range, and its rating augers well, with a five-star rating and good all-round performance. The EQC is part of a growing trend towards battery electric vehicles and joins Jaguar’s I-Pace and Audi’s e-tron amongst the cars that Euro NCAP has tested, and Tesla’s Model X, which will be assessed later this year.   https://insideevs.com/news/368786/mercedes-benz-eqc-5-star-euro-ncap/   MERCEDES-BENZ TEASES EQS ELECTRIC SEDAN "Mercedes-Benz moves forward with its Mercedes-Benz EQ electric subbrand by teasing a new model ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. It appears to be the EQS, which would be an all-electric S-Class counterpart. Electric luxury without compromises." says Motor1.com: "We already saw a few reports about the EQS coming, including spy photos of a camouflaged prototype, but there are no details. For sure we can expect long-range and specs even better than in the case of the Mercedes-Benz EQC - the first in the EQ lineup. 500 km (310 miles) of WLTP range would be a must we guess, just like at least 150 kW charging."   https://insideevs.com/news/368703/mercedes-benz-teased-eqs/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-   TESLA TRANSPORTS MODEL 3 RHD UNITS TO PHILADELPHIA PORT FOR FASTER UK TRANSIT "Several semi-truck loads of Tesla Model 3 right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles are on their way from the company’s headquarters in California to the Port of Philadelphia for transit to UK customers. This alternative route of travel will reportedly provide quicker delivery times than the usual path that takes the all-electric cars around the western part of the country via the Port of San Francisco and through the Panama Canal. Tesla’s strategy could help increase its Q2 2019 delivery numbers and possibly provide cost savings from the shorter delivery distances traveled." reports TEslarati: The quicker transit looks to save about two weeks from Tesla’s shipping time, as detailed in a report published by XAutoWorld. The usual San Francisco to the Port of Zeebrugge (Belgium) route is around 10,600 nautical miles with an average shipping time of 24 days, depending on a few variables. The distance from Philadelphia to Zeebrugge is about 4,000 nautical miles with a travel time of around 10 days."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-transports-model-3-rhd-units-to-philadelphia-port-for-faster-uk-transit/   HYUNDAI MOTORSPORT OFFERS SECOND SNEAK PEEK AT FIRST EV RACE CAR "Hyundai Motorsport is really excited about its first electric car envisioned for racing and released a second video teaser ahead of its unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 10." writes Mark Kane for InsideEVs: "The teaser is focused around the power and electricity, which probably heralds hundreds of kW of power and some crazy performance.   The video description says: "He's always said the Hyundai i30 N TCR was like his child. And now he's created a monster! FIA WTCR winner Gabriele Tarquini gives life to the first Hyundai electric race car.

Remember the P1, McLaren’s limited-edition plug-in hybrid? It’s pictured above. McLaren built 375 examples over about two years and has yet to return to the battery-powered performance. That doesn’t mean McLaren isn’t exploring alternative powertrain options." according to Anthony at MOtor1: "In a new interview with Motoring.com.au, Jamie Corstorphine, McLaren’s global marketing director, said the company is exploring a fully electric offering; however, the company wouldn’t produce one until it could promise it’d be a better sports car. It doesn't want to offer one simply to meet new emission standards or another benchmark. That means McLaren’s pursuit of lightness won’t go away with an electric hypercar. "   https://www.motor1.com/news/368722/no-mclaren-electric-hypercar-yet/   LAMBORGHINI UNVEILS SUPERCAR WITH SUPERCAPACITORS "Lamborghini has its “most powerful car ever produced,” the Sián, and they did so by creating a novel hybrid powertrain with supercapacitors. Supercapacitors are unlike electrochemical batteries. They can charge and discharge in just seconds, but the drawback is that most of them have low energy density and can’t store enough energy to be viable for a product like an electric car." writes Fred at Electrek: "Lamborghini, who hasn’t been quick to adopt electric technology, has been at the forefront of using supercapacitors in its supercars. Now the Sián is the latest example of how the automaker is adopting the technology by being “the world-first application of a supercapacitor for hybridization.”   Lamborghini says this of their supercapacitor: "It is three times more powerful than a battery of the same weight and three times lighter than a battery producing the same power. Located in the bulkhead between cockpit and engine it ensures perfect weight distribution. The electric system with the supercapacitor and e-motor weighs only 34 kg, thus it delivers a remarkable weight-to-power ratio"   https://electrek.co/2019/09/04/lamborghini-sian-supercar-supercapacitors/   HONDA E TO APPEAR IN 2 VERSIONS – UP TO 220 KM RANGE "Honda will present its first electric model for the European market in serial production at the IAA and is teasing photos of the final version in advance. Furthermore, the Japanese manufacturer stated they plan to mention previously unknown details." says electrive: "The electric motor of the Honda e will be available in two power ratings of 100 kW and 113 kW, with a torque of 315 Nm each. The 35.5 kWh battery is intended to provide a range of up to 220 kilometres – Honda had previously mentioned 200 kilometres. The technical data, however, are still internal data of the manufacturer. With these key data and the CCS rapid charging capability, the Honda e certainly offers more than sufficient driving performance for its intended purpose as a commuter vehicle. Honda currently estimates fuel consumption at 18 to 20 kWh per 100 kilometers – even the more powerful BMW i3, which is less aerodynamic due to its height, achieves better values."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/09/04/honda-e-to-appear-in-2-versions-up-to-220-km-range/   RENAULT UNVEILS UK PRICING AND SPECIFICATION FOR NEW ZOE The new all-electric Renault ZOE will be available to order from mid-September, with prices starting at just £18,670 and customer deliveries from January 2020.

Show #557   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 21st August 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Firstly thank you to new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER GENE RUBIN! Also PRODUCER @TESLAHISTORIAN and finally PRODUCER ANDREW TILL   TESLA POSTPONES FULL SELF-DRIVING PRICE INCREASE UNTIL V10 AND SMART SUMMON "Tesla was planning to increase the price of its “Full Self-Driving” package last week that was supposed to coincide with an update to its Autopilot features, like the new Smart Summon, but it now won’t happen until September/October." writes Fred at Electrek: "Earlier this month, Tesla announced plans to increase its Full Self-Driving price again on August 16, but August 16 came and went without any price increase. Today, Tesla CEO Elon Musk now confirmed that the price increase has been postponed until they release Version 10. Smart Summon, also known as Enhanced Summon, builds on Tesla’s previous Summon feature, which was used by owners to move their cars autonomously for a few feet in their driveway or in tight parking situations. With the new version, owners are able to Summon their Tesla vehicles from further away, and the cars will navigate more complex parking environments."   https://electrek.co/2019/08/20/tesla-v10-smart-summon-postponed-full-self-driving-price-increase/   2020 KARMA REVERO GT STARTS FROM $135,000 "Earlier this month, Karma Automotive announced details about the new 2020 Karma Revero GT, which is scheduled for retail deliveries from Q4 2019 on." according to InsideEVs: "The starting price (MSRP) is $135,000, which after destination charge and deducting the $7,500 federal tax credit, is effectively $128,900. 28 kWh battery (instead 21.4 kWh) expected 61 miles (98 km) of all-electric range EPA range (Revero 37 miles EPA) up to 360 miles (579 km) of total range, including up to 80 miles (129 km) electric and up to 280 miles (451 km) with generator 0-60 mph (96.5 km/h) in 4.5 seconds (Revero 5.4 seconds) 1.5L BMW TwinPower Turbo three-cylinder in-line engine (same as in BMW i8) as onboard generator (previously 2L GM engine) dual-motor rear-wheel drive (with torque vectoring for rear wheels)"   https://insideevs.com/news/366314/2020-karma-revero-gt-135000/   REALITY CHECK: CHADEMO FAST-CHARGING STATIONS STILL OUTNUMBER CCS ONES "As tallied by the U.S. government’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, you’ll find that even now, in the second half of 2019, there are still more places to fast-charge CHAdeMO vehicles than those with CCS. As of August 20, 2019, there are 2,140 charging stations and 3,010 connectors with CHAdeMO fast charging. CCS still lags behind CHAdeMO in the number of stations by more than 250, while it has about 500 more connectors. And Tesla has 678 Supercharger locations with 6,340 connectors. The Nissan Leaf lineup is the only one still on the market to primarily use the CHAdeMO standard." says Green Car Reports: "Part of the reason why CCS hasn’t gained ground is that, as called out in the Partial Consent Decree of the Volkswagen diesel settlement, Electrify America has to future-proof its stations by operating across different charging standards. Therefore, all public-facing fast chargers will include a CHAdeMO connector—just one, in most cases, running at 50 kw instead of the CCS connectors’ 150kW or 350kW"   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1124639_chademo-fast-charging-stations-still-outnumber-ccs-ones   MYSTERIOUS AUDI Q3 TEST MULE SPOTTED WITH CHARGING INLET "Spy photographers recently spotted in southern Europe an Audi Q3 with a charging inlet on the left-front fender, which clearly indicates it's a plug-in test mule." but what IS it, asks InsideEVs: "The question without an answer is whether it's a plug-in hybrid or an all-electric Audi test vehicle. It might herald a Q3 PHEV or a Q3/Q4 e-tron BEV, according to CarPix."   https://insideevs.com/news/366367/audi-q3-test-mule-charging-inlet/   TOMTOM BOOSTS ELECTRIC REVOLUTION WITH TOOLS TO BEAT RANGE ANXIETY TomTom, [TOM2] the location technology specialist, today announced the launch of two new APIs for developers to help build applications for electric mobility. The new Long Distance EV Routing API allows users to route from A to B beyond one charge. The routing algorithm, specifically designed to optimize travel time, calculates the route including stops to charge, displaying an estimated arrival time that also considers the charging time. The second new API, EV Charging Stations Availability API, provides information about the availability of the charging stations per plug type, making sure the driver knows before arrival whether a charging point is available for use or not.   https://www.tomtom.com/company/press-releases/news/25686/   FIRST 50 ORDERS DELIVERED AS ELECTRIC JCB DIGGER IN FULL PRODUCTION JCB has made manufacturing history by going into full production with the construction industry’s first fully electric mini excavator – with more than 50 machines already delivered.   The 19C-1E models - JCB’s first-ever electric diggers - are now coming off the assembly line at JCB Compact Products in Cheadle, Staffordshire, with orders rolling in from customers from across Europe and North America. The machine is a staggering five times quieter than its diesel counterpart and can be fully charged in under two hours. The model is expected to be a big hit with companies working inside buildings and in emissions and noise-sensitive inner-city areas. Fully charged, the 19C-1E can put in a typical full day’s shift for a mini excavator.   The 19C-1E will also offer customers great cost-of-ownership benefits, with research highlighting that over the first five years, charging costs will be 50 per cent cheaper for customers who would otherwise be using red diesel. Servicing costs are also expected to be up to 70 per cent lower compared to the diesel model.   https://www.jcb.com/en-gb/news/2019/08/first-ever-electric-jcb-diggers-start-to-roll-off-production-line   EO CHARGING AND MOIXA CONNECT FOR SMART EV CHARGING "The UK charger manufacturer EO Charging and smart grid firm Moixa are cooperating to create a dedicated smart home battery and solar package for electric vehicles. The system is designed to store renewable energy and to use it to charge the EV." reports electrive: "More specifically, the solution is to integrate an EO Genius EV charger and a 4.8kWh Moixa Smart Battery. The system is then connected to a customer’s solar panels and managed via Moixa’s smart-energy management software GridShare. Chris Wright, CTO at Moixa, stressed that not only will this maximise the use of home-generated solar energy but “at the same time customers will be able to take full advantage of emerging smart tariffs, and benefit from the cheap overnight energy for car charging while covering their household consumption during peak pricing”."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/08/21/eo-charging-and-moixa-connect-for-smart-ev-charging/   TESLA’S EUROPEAN DEMAND RUMORS GET BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER "There is a certain predictive quality in looking at the ships Tesla’s has charted to ferry cars to Europe. In the past two quarters, the Europe/China ratio was 50/50, with the European vessels carrying some more cars than the ships bound for China." analyses Clean Technica: ""Now, in this third quarter, the Europe/China ratio is 2/1. Of the first 9 ships planned so far, 6 have been destined for Europe. The first shipload has reached the delivery centers, the second is on quay in Zeebrugge. The third is on the Atlantic, the fourth is nearing the Panama Canal, the fifth is at Pier 80 at San Francisco being loaded, and the sixth is due early next week in port."   https://cleantechnica.com/2019/08/21/teslas-european-demand-rumors-get-blown-out-of-the-water/   ⛴ Morten Grove

It's 1987. It's the Port of Zeebrugge, and a whole load of Sun readers are on their way home from a lovely trip to Belgium.  In what worried podcasters are already calling the 17th episode of the CB Wallop Podcast join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss the The Zeebrugge Ferry Disaster - the 8000 tonne ship that let in water, rolled on its side and created a set of conditions so nightmarish it's almost impossible to make a lighthearted comedy podcast about them.  Do we press on with it though? Yes… yes we do.  *Trigger Warning - yup, this one's a bad one. It's also well within living memory, and it doesn't get any less horrific over time. It involves drowning, hypothermia and the loss of children, parents and loved ones.  Title music by Steve Adam Production by Mike Sandeman - www.northbrightonrecording.co.uk Zeebrugge Newsflash ©BBC1  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5xgY8c_xXE&t=4s Ferry Aid Charity Single ©The Sun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeD0YwEQ_iU

Now the question remains, 3000, or more Teslas on this ship? Welcome to Europe"   @teslastars "While the #GlovisCosmos is in Zeebrugge unloading its cargo of Model 3, the #GrandAurora is showing up in the Açores. Arrival is scheduled for Friday 15th in the evening"   WITRICITY ACQUIRES QUALCOMM HALO "WiTricity, a company that specializes in contactless EV charging, has acquired Qualcomm's rival wireless charging tech. The two are keeping quiet about the financial details, though they did reveal that Qualcomm will become a minority WiTricity shareholder as a result of the transaction. " reports Engadget for our first story today: "Ultimately, it gives WiTricity access to more than 1,500 new wireless battery charging patents and patent applications, which could see its contactless charging system become the EV industry standard. An MIT spinoff, WiTricity's system relies on a floor pad that radiates a magnetic field to refuel parked EVs. In 2016, the company announced a prototype in partnership with GM that could be deployed in public parking spaces and garages, offering power at both 7.7 kW and 11 kW. Qualcomm bought its "Halo" tech from the University of Auckland in 2011 as part of a "multi-million dollar" deal. It currently forms the backbone of its dynamic electric vehicle charging (DEVC) test track."   In the comments Peterf says: "This is so dumb. You can accept the efficiency loss with a smartphone since it's such little energy but to charge a car with the reduced efficiency causes a lot of energy waste."   https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/11/witricity-qualcomm-halo-ev-wireless-charging/   SPY SHOTS #1 - VW I.D. NEO / I.D. ONE We're a bit over run today with spy shots of future EV's in cold weather testing. And that's a nice problem to have because when cars are at that stage, they're not too far away from being outside your house. Volkswagen I.D. Neo - AutoExpress say: "Volkswagen will launch the I.D. (codenamed ‘Neo’ within the company) with a range of three battery capacities, and is aiming to significantly undercut the likes of the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Kia e-Niro with a starting price of just £22,500. As revealed by Auto Express towards the end of 2017, the first I.D. will be a five-door hatchback which, at 4.25 metres long, is almost identical in size to a Golf. The potential for extra cabin space can be seen in the proportions of the car in our spy images. The bonnet is much shorter than that of a Golf - it only needs to house an air conditioning system - allowing for much more space inside for occupants. Boot space is also expected to measure up closely to a Golf, so expect around 380 litres with all five seats in place." It starts at 205 miles at 48kWh for the slow one, up to 341 miles 62kWh for the fast one. They need to do 100,000 of these next year, Zwickau is aiming for 1,500 cars a day by 2021, and there will be fewer options for the spec to drive efficiency. OTA updates are confirmed now, as is permanent connectivity.   https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/97043/volkswagen-id-neo-new-spy-shots-of-vws-2019-electric-hatch   SPY SHOTS #2 - RENAULT CAPTUR Again from AutoExpress "A new Renault Captur crossover with plug-in hybrid power is being developed ahead of going on sale in early 2020. Renault is developing an all-new plug-in hybrid system making use of a Nissan-developed 1.6-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric drive system. The electric motor will occupy a dual role, both providing with petrol engine with additional torque and power, plus offering up to 30 miles of all-electric running." It will come with a 9.8kWh battery.   https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/renault/captur/105085/new-2020-renault-captur-crossover-spied-out-in-the-cold   SPY SHOTS #3 - BMW iNEXT The winter test centre of the BMW Group in Arjeplog, Sweden is the setting for the current complete vehicle tests. The test drives with the camouflaged BMW iNEXT are being conducted on snow-covered roads and ice-covered lakes, where low temperatures and minimal road friction dominate everyday testing. The cold poses a challenge, above all, for the electric motor, the high-voltage battery and the cooling system of the BMW iNEXT. The testing engineers also attach particular importance to the eDrive energy management system. They analyse the way in which the extreme sub-zero temperatures affect how the energy storage system recharges, how electricity is transferred to the electric motor, how the electrical system is supplied with energy and how the heating and air condition systems respond. The series production version of the BMW iNEXT will be manufactured in the BMW Plant in Dingolfing from 2021.   NISSAN LEAF E-PLUS ORDERS POURING IN: EUROPE "Nissan has received more than 3,000 pre-orders for 3.ZERO Limited Edition of the latest LEAF e+ in Europe, since its unveiling about a month ago. That’s almost two-thirds of the planned run of 5,000 units of the exclusively well-equipped trim version." says Mark Kane over at InsideEVs.com: "Nearly half of those pre-orders come from… Norway, where the Nissan LEAF was the best-selling car of any kind or type in 2018."   https://insideevs.com/nissan-leaf-e-plus-order-europe/   TESLA READIES FOR MODEL 3 CUSTOMER DELIVERIES IN CHINA AS CARGO SHIP ARRIVES AT PORT "Preparations to deliver the first batch of Tesla Model 3 vehicles to customers in China are underway with the recent arrival of cargo ship Glovis Symphony at the Port of Tianjin." according to Teslarati: " The carrier entered the port on Monday around 7 am local time after a 19-day journey from the San Francisco Bay Area where Tesla vehicles make their way from the company’s factory in Fremont to the loading dock. A shipment of Performance Model 3s received in Hong Kong last month seems to have primarily contained test drive and display vehicles."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-deliveries-china-cargo-shipment   CHEVY BOLT & BAOJUN E100 LEAD GM GLOBAL EV SALES IN 2018 Back to InsideEVs and Wade Malone: "While plug-in General Motors deliveries dropped in the United States last year, the automaker saw a significant increase in global plug-in sales in 2018. The Chevy Bolt EV again led the electric offerings, clocking in at 27,918 units delivered worldwide. However, The Baojun E100/E200 also impressed with 25,888 sales in China. The Chevy Volt follows close behind with 25,298 units sold globally. Baojun (jointly owned by General Motors (GM) and SAIC Motor) recently expanded availability of their tiny two seat EV. The recently launched E200 will be replacing the E100 on the market."   https://insideevs.com/bolt-ev-baojun-e100-gm-plug-in-sales-2018/   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Electrify America will implement the Plug & Charge mechanism in its charging stations. For supporting the broader market rollout, the “CharIN Implementation Guide to Plug and Charge” based on ISO 15118 will be available for all CharIN members in the first quarter of this year. The implementation of ISO 15118 is a significant step for smart charging of electric vehicles and the vehicle network communication (V2G). It allows vehicles to automatically authenticate and authorize when loading. RFID cards, credit cards or mobile apps will not be needed any more."   https://www.charinev.org/news/news-detail-2018/news/plug-charge-cooperation-of-charin-members-hubject-and-electrify-america-1/   TESLA DELIVERY HANDLING IN EUROPE So who has the resources to handover so manhy ship loads? ICO - International Car Operators. And this post from Reddit: "ICO Zeebrugge, Belgium had to install 300 superchargers as part of the weekly 3000 cars Tesla contract. Charging to 80% at arrival." From a local newspaper: "ICO invested around 2.5 million euros (3 million $) at its terminal in 300 charging stations that can program eight cars in sequence. In the long term, 1,500 are planned. The cars leave 80 percent charged to the consumer"."ICO is already transferring 2,1 of the 2,8 million cars a year in Zeebrugge, “but we need expansion”, ICO boss Marc Adriansens said in May this year. “The market is still growing and Zeebrugge is very popular with all car shipping companies.” Japanese logistics specialist Nippon Yusen Kaisha announced earlier this year an investment in its ICO car terminal with 60 million euro of which one-third will be put in a wind mill park at the site. The new wind farm will have a capacity of 44 megawatt and a yearly production of 110 gigawatt hour, good enough to provide a city like Bruges with energy for one year. The wind farm should be operational by end 2019."   https://newmobility.news/2018/12/12/zeebrugge-prepares-for-handing-model-3-tesla-is-hiring/   TESLA MODEL 3 COST SURPRISED PORSCHE AND AUDI AFTER REVERSE-ENGINEERING "Tesla Model 3 is now entering the European market and it is making some automakers nervous. According to a new report, Porsche and Audi reverse-engineered Tesla’s new electric car and they were quite surprised by its cost." according to Fred at Electrek: "Now a new report from Germany’s Manager Magazin (German and paywall) includes a deep dive into the state of Audi with comments from executives and insider sources. It claims that Porsche and Audi, who are working together on a next-generation electric platform, had to change their approach because the cost was too high compared to what Tesla is achieving." The report says: "The e-tron as the first electric Audi is not only late. It does not reach some target values and has become far too expensive with more than two billion euros in development costs. The approximately 600,000 cars sold for the break-even are now regarded as an illusion." In Fred's comments: "A decade from now, I think we will not only look back at Model 3 for how the vehicle program accelerated EV adoption through volume but also for the impact it had on other automakers."   https://electrek.co/2019/02/09/tesla-model-3-cost-surprise-porsche-audi-reverse-engineering/   NIKOLA TO RELEASE BEV VERSION OF THEIR H² TRUCKS A new electrive report today says: "Nikola Motor announced battery electric variants for their hydrogen trucks Nikola Two and Nikola Tre, which will be offered in addition to the fuel cell versions. There will be three battery capacities to choose from: 500 kWh, 750 kWh and 1,000 kWh." says Chris Randall: "While the fuel cell versions will be designed for long-haul use, Nikola Motor will be targeting short-haul use with the BEV versions. Nikola’s plans to build over 700 hydrogen stations in the USA and Canada with partner Nel Hydrogen by 2028 remain unaffected by the news. Each station should be capable of producing 2,000 to 8,000 kilos of hydrogen per day.

As Zero Motorcycles wrote in the Facebook post, “In what must have been the quietest police pursuit ever, an officer on a Zero DS police bike pulled over a Tesla. Big thanks to a Bay Area police customer for capturing a snapshot of the future. #RideElectric”. Zero Motorcycles sells police fleet editions of its Zero FX and Zero DSR motorcycles. In addition to being almost totally silent and extremely fast, Zero’s electric motorcycles require no drivetrain maintenance and fuel costs are a fraction of gas-powered motorcycles, both big pluses for police department budgets."   https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/zero-electric-police-motorcycle-stops-tesla-model-3/   CHEVROLET TIPPED TO LAUNCH ALL-ELECTRIC SILVERADO "Just don't expect it to come all that soon. It's not just sedans, hatchbacks, and crossovers that are going electric. So too will pickup trucks... some day. And when that day comes, General Motors doesn't plan to watch from the sidelines." according to CarBuzz: "Automobile reports that GM plans to launch an all-electric version of the Chevrolet Silverado. The news stems from a question posed to by an analyst during GM's recent financial-earnings conference call. Asked whether the company was working on an electric Silverado, GM CEO Mary Barra answered: "We believe in an all EV future so you’ll have to stay tuned.” Just a few weeks ago, news surfaced of just such a project under way for an electric GMC Sierra – the Silverado's twin."   https://carbuzz.com/news/chevrolet-tipped-to-launch-all-electric-silverado   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Read More About Patreon here EVne.ws/patreon   Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Saturday 9th February 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I can find today, and picked out the ones I think you need to know about.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   AUDI CONTINUE ADVERTISING E-TRON I’m not a fan of ads, but in my Twitter timeline I was very happy to see Audi spending money on social media with a 12 second video of the Audi e-tron in action. "Join the electric revolution. Order your #etron now" The link goes to beta.audi.co.uk/electric-car/e-tron.html with the heading "Electric Goes Audi". On the page the sections are The e-tron, Charging, Grants and Benefits, Finance and Service Plans, Technology, Pod Point and Formula E. THe e-tron from £71,490. The e-tron launch edition £82,240. "The special Launch Edition adds even more allure to the already stylish e-tron. 21” alloy wheels, black styling details and full body-coloured bumpers give the car an immediate and dramatic presence. Many advanced features, such as Matrix LED headlights, come as standard; others include the unique virtual door mirrors, Adaptive Cruise Assist and Comfort remote preconditioning. And for an extra sense of light and spaciousness, there’s a panoramic glass sunroof that displays the skies to all occupants. Image includes optional Catalunya red, metallic paint and black roof rails."   CCS COMBO CHARGES TESLA MODEL 3 The very first European-spec Model 3's in Europe are in the hands of customers and immediately they headed not to Superchargers, but to the High Powered Chargers like Fastned and IONITY. Now some of them can't charge at the full 350kW because they're waiting for liquid cooled cables but they'll certainly do 150kW I gather. This is interesting because Tesla has always has its own connector but in Europe they're fitting the CCS Combo plug. So no more CHAdeMO adapter to purchase. The previous spec of CCS was limited to 200amps but the new protocol CCS2.0 allows for a lot more juice, and that's what I mean by High Powered Charger. And so the Netherlands-based Fastned, who tweeted a graphic with the charge speed they had recorded on their system. The MOdel 3 went straight to 125kW and stayed there to 50% state of charge, dropped down to 50kW at 75% and gradually went down from there and it tapered off. What I thought was interesting was that at 50% it drops off quite quickly. But is that unfair, because my experience of Supercharger a Model S it doesn't hit peak speed for that long, but the taper off seems more gentle. Let me know!   (Explanation of why charge speed tapers for beginners)   ELON FLIES TO EUROPE And isn't it weird what the internet can show us. As I was working today I saw tweets from people with plane tracker apps saying Elon Musk had taken off in his Gulfstream jet and was headed East, crossing the Atlantic. It soon because clear he was heading to Europe. It’s interesting because he asks for his callsign to be blocked so this was an aviation expert who worked out the route of the N628TS. He landed around 1715 local time in Ostend, near to where the cars were delivered to Zeebrugge. Not only is he very hands on with any issues, but also it’s fair that over the weekend he sees for himself the logistics on the ground.   RENAULT ZOE TO GET CCS COMBO AND 22KW ONBOARD AC A story I came across because I follow Eric Feunteun, he's the Electric Vehicle Program Director for Renault: "The European passenger plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) market ended the year on a positive note, registering a near record 40,500 units in December with the 2018 count ending at a record 386,000 deliveries" according to CleanTechnica. The Zoe was the December winner with 5,382 in the month, well ahead of the LEAF, the I-PACE and any Tesla. On the year 2018 the Zoe sold 38,538. "This positive score is the result of LG providing more batteries to the French carmaker, thanks to the ramp up of its European factory in Wroclaw, Poland. Without the battery bottleneck, we should finally see the real demand for the Zoe."   And late last night I also found an article in French, so I was relying on Google Translate with this one. It's on largus.fr. The new Zoe is being revealed at the Geneva show soon, and will be based on the new Clio. Inside the main dash will be 7 or 10 inches, with the 10 inch dash also showing the sat nav just like the latest VW system. THen the centre screen will be 7" or 9.3", and have all the controls including climate. There's adaptive cruise and Level 2 self driving, so Lane Keep Assist and Traffic Jam system. The battery was upgraded in 2017 to a 41kWh. That stays although more power will be on tap, but they add CCS Combo plug AND 22kW onboard AC charging. That's the perfect combo. DC Fast Charging or AC Semi-Fast. One of my listeners Mike Winter explained it's because of the sheer amount of 22kW posts in France. Production starts in Q2 and marketed at the end of Summer. Production will be 440 a day.   https://cleantechnica.com/2019/02/03/europe-ev-sales-renault-zoe-wins-in-december-nissan-leaf-takes-2018-title/   https://translate.google.com/translate?depth=1&hl=en&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://www.largus.fr/actualite-automobile/renault-zoe-2-2019-tout-savoir-sur-la-nouvelle-zoe-electrique-9620390.html&xid=17259,15700021,15700186,15700190,15700248   POLESTAR 1 SPIED PLAYING ON A FROZEN LAKE "Polestar’s big debut on the automotive market will soon become a reality. The brand from Sweden is putting the finishing touches on the Polestar 1 which should go into mass production before the end of 2019. Still, apparently, there are several things that need to be refined before the sports coupe reaches the production phase." reports Anthony Karr for Motor1.com: "[Spy photographs show] a prototype of the car doing some high-speed tests on a frozen lake somewhere in Sweden. Almost every part of this trial car looks ready to be put on the assembly lines but the test drivers are probably gathering more data about the vehicle’s behavior under certain conditions."   https://www.motor1.com/news/304493/polestar-1-spied-winter-testing/amp/   ALL-NEW 2020 KIA SOUL ELECTRIC SPOTTED IN NEW COLORS InsideEVs is talking about the new Kia Soul EV: "When it debuted in LA, the all-new Kia Soul EV was seen in just a color or two, but now we get to see the long-range electric in a plethora of new hues. These new images, captured at the Kia Irvine site, show us what the Soul EV looks like in colors other than that neon green. There’s a graphite Soul EV with a tan roof. A black version with a red roof and more." From Kia: The next generation Kia Soul EV celebrated its world premiere at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. One of the most upbeat urban compact crossovers is back with even more appeal & upgrades. The vehicle will be powered by a next-generation, state-of-the-art liquid-cooled lithium-ion polymer 64 kWh battery. That’s the same as what’s found in the Kia Niro EV, which goes some 301 miles per charge (WLTP) or an estimated 260 miles EPA. Considering that the current Soul EV, with its 30-kWh battery pack, is EPA-rated at 111 miles, we figure this 2020 Soul EV, with 64-kWh on board, will travel close to 240 miles per charge, maybe even more. Sadly, since its Kia, this will be a limited offering in the U.S., so availability will be an issue. The 2020 Kia Soul EV is set to utilize a 201 horsepower electric motor, delivering 291 lb-ft of torque. However, the new battery is currently being tested to ascertain precise EPA-estimated range. Results are expected early in 2019 and will be announced at a later date." The curb weight of the Soul EV is a lot less than the eNiro, so that range might be good!   https://insideevs.com/2020-kia-soul-electric-spotted-new-colors/   TESLA AUTOPILOT APPROVED EUROPE "The Tesla Model 3 was officially approved for sale in Europe, but as it turns out the original Type Approval from RDW in the Netherlands doesn’t include the Tesla Autopilot" reported InsideEVs this morning, but then added: "Tesla has reportedly gained European approval for Autopilot." The approval for the feature arrived early on Friday from the Netherlands Vehicle Authority RDW. "The first Model 3 delivered to customers in Europe has disabled Autopilot feature, which according to Tesla is expected to be enabled in Europe next week, when a separate approval will be issued.The slight delay between car sales and enabling Autopilot is apparently caused by the requirement to additionally test the Autopilot for Model 3 (it has different hardware than Autopilot in Model S and Model X)." Meanwhile: "Tesla has opted to offer Enhanced Autopilot as standard for the electric sedan. As could be seen in Tesla’s order pages for China, the offer appears to be available only for Model 3 purchases. Pages for the Model S and X still list the driver-assist suite as a 46,300 yuan (around $6,800) addition." according to Simon at Teslarati: "The inclusion of Enhanced Autopilot is available for all Model 3 orders in the country, meaning even reservations for the Long Range RWD Model 3 –currently the most affordable Tesla available in China — include the driver-assist suite for free. "   https://insideevs.com/tesla-autopilot-approved-europe-next-week/   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-enhanced-autopilot-standard-model-3-china/   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.
