The Renault 5 E-Tech Electric: Probably the Coolest Model Rebirth Legacy is often seen as a burden, but Renault has turned it into an advantage. The new Renault 5 doesn’t just pay homage to its past—it leverages it. This new Renault 5 addresses today’s needs while maintaining the character of a legend. You don’t need to know anything about its past to appreciate it, but for enthusiasts, there are plenty of hidden gems that will truly excite. Renault has masterfully blended nostalgia with innovation. As for the HMI, I’m undecided. The steering wheel seems solid, similar to the Scenic, and I appreciate the gear selector as a lever—it frees up space on the central console, which is always a plus. However, I need to experience it firsthand to fully understand the interactions. The separation in z-axis seems well-designed, allowing for independent operation of gears and wipers, which is crucial. I suspect, though, that its position might block some of the user interface. I miss the climate controls of the Clio, and I believe that a display with more height would be advantageous for features such as navigation. I speculate that design lines were a priority, which is often the case, and understandable for such a model. Overall, I find Renault’s approach to model revival very relevant and refreshing.

Renault leading the way with certified conversions of diesel vans to fully electric. If more vehicle OEMs could take this path, we may actually stand a chance to phase out the combustion engine at a not-too-unreasonable pace. This can't be cost-efficient, you may say. Well, today e-retrofits are only viable in niche markets, but things are changing quickly. By 2030, we expect to have cheaper batteries, higher CO2 taxes and more zero-emission zones. That means the car, van or truck that makes sense to buy in a combustion engine configuration today, may be worth significantly more six years from now as a used vehicle if it is equipped with a 2030 electric powertrain, than a 2024 combustion engine. An OEM that today prepares their module systems for future e-retrofits can likely offer such conversions at a far lower future cost than competitors, meaning that customers will be better protected against accelerated value loss from changing external factors. https://lnkd.in/dttduSuX Thomas Nyström

The French market has seen growth in battery electric vehicle (BEV) registrations in the first eight months of this year. However, while the demand for BEVs among private retail customers in France continues to grow, with a 12% increase year-to-date as of August 2024, it has not expanded at the pace originally hoped for by vehicle manufacturers.

Stellantis - CEO Carlos Tavares Steps Down! Carlos Tavares, the CEO of Stellantis, has resigned with immediate effect after a clash in the boardroom. Tavares, who was once hailed as one of the most powerful figures in the global auto industry, played a key role in creating Stellantis through the merger of PSA Group and Fiat Chrysler in 2021. He built a reputation for turning around troubled companies, but lately, Stellantis has faced some tough times. With a sharp drop in sales, especially in North America, and a significant profit warning earlier this year, the company’s future seemed uncertain. On top of that, Stellantis made the difficult decision to close its Vauxhall van plant in Luton, risking about 1,100 jobs. As Stellantis grapples with these challenges, the search for a new CEO is now underway, led by chair John Elkann. The leadership shake-up comes at a critical time for the company, which is facing intense pressure to keep up with the shift toward EVs and competition from newer players. #Stellantis #CarlosTavares #LeadershipChange #AutomotiveIndustry #ElectricVehicles #Vauxhall #BusinessNews

It was reported that Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares abruptly quits. I heard a lot of good things from my french colleagues how efficient he was in transforming PSA. But chinese EV industrialization is so strong and fast that many traditional OEMs are likely to have a lot of challenges going forward. I think that next years will be crucial in re-shaping the industry. R&D and AI integration, government policies and flexibility might play a key role in deciding the next leaders of the global auto industry.

Stellantis CEO Tavares is out 👀 soon. No contract extension... "Stellantis said on Monday it has begun a search for a candidate to succeed CEO Carlos Tavares, whose contract is set to expire in 2026." This was highly predictable. Stellantis has been the fastest market share loser amongst all large automakers. The company reported that first-half net profits were down 48% compared with the same period last year. First-half sales in the U.S. were down nearly 16%, even though overall new vehicle sales rose 2.4%. 📖 Source¹ https://lnkd.in/gyT_BA8W article 📖 Source² https://lnkd.in/gR2bP-Em chart #IONAXS #IONAS #CleanMobility #eMobility #ElectricCars  #FutureMobility #Batteries #Automotive  #ElectricVehicles #AutonomousVehicles  #EV #Lithium #Innovation #Sustainability  #Recycling #Future #Energy #Efficiency #Technology #AVEVAI #TomTsogt 🔔👍

⚡ With Stellantis rejoining #ACEA, will the 2025 emissions targets be relaxed? What’s your opinion? ⚡ ➡️ On December 6, Stellantis announced its return to the European Automobile Manufacturers'​ Association (ACEA), following the departure of former CEO Carlos Tavares. ➡️ ACEA has been lobbying the European Union to postpone the tightening of CO₂ emissions regulations scheduled for 2025, arguing that current targets are hard to meet due to a slowdown in electric vehicle sales and strong competition from Chinese manufacturers. ➡️ However, even if these emissions standards are eased, it is vital for the European automotive industry to focus on delivering a competitive range of electric models. This approach will address growing demand from companies seeking cleaner fleets and prevent Chinese manufacturers from gaining an insurmountable advantage in the electric vehicle segment. ⚡ With Stellantis rejoining ACEA, will the 2025 emissions targets be relaxed? What’s your opinion? ⚡ Ricardo Oliveira World Shopper | #GetReadyForTheFuture

Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles will increasingly impact traditional fuel vehicles as new energy technologies continue to optimize. To counteract market headwinds, it would be a more optimistic move to embrace collaboration with electric and hybrid vehicles.

Michelin has lowered its 2024 financial forecast due to a challenging market environment. Despite a decline in #sales, the company remains committed to its strategy of focusing on high-value segments. The downturn was primarily attributed to a decline in original equipment (OE) markets. #michelingroup #2024financialforecast #marketchallenges #salesdecline #oemarkets #highvaluesegments #tires #passengercarandlighttrucktyres #trucktyres #specialtytyres #economicvolatility #geopoliticaluncertainty #environmentalfactors
