  1. Stellantis, champion of home work, calls engineers back to the office Engineers have been at the office at least three days a week since January. Stellantis has sent its auto engineers back to the office, reversing a policy that CEO Carlos Tavares has used to cut expenses at a company that championed home working in the wake of the pandemic. Engineers have been at the office at least three days a week since January, with some there as many as six days when a new car is introduced, said Ned Curic, who heads engineering and technology at Stellantis. “It’s impossible to engineer vehicles remotely,” Curic said in an interview in Auburn Hills, Michigan. “You have to have people together. You have to do design sessions, engineering sessions and the buildups together. It helps us accelerate a number of projects.” Stellantis championed remote work in recent years, and in the process drastically reduced office space and sold real estate assets. Labor unions have criticized the intensity of the push, saying workers are often encouraged to stay away as much as possible. The policy has been part of Tavares’ stringent efficiency push, who has cited intense competition from Chinese automakers for cutting jobs in countries including Italy and France. The manufacturer in 2022 said its remote-work policy had become permanent, allowing non-assembly line workers to work from home 70 percent of the time while several other companies required staff to be back in offices more frequently since the end of COVID-19 lockdowns. Tavares himself works from his home in Portugal around one week per month. “Remote working is very flexible within Stellantis, depending on the need to work more or less often physically together,” a spokesperson for the company said. “There is a delegation to the management to establish the conditions of the best possible performance.” Curic, a former Microsoft and Amazon.com executive who joined Stellantis in 2021, has been reorganizing the manufacturer’s engineering operations ever since his role was expanded last year to include research and development. He oversees about 15,000 engineers, many of them located in France, Italy, Germany and the US, with growing teams also in Brazil and India. Curic’s reversal of the policy helps allay worries that it might be harder for Stellantis engineers to efficiently work together on new cars. The company is in the middle of an ambitious new vehicle rollout plan, with 25 models to be introduced this year alone. (ANE)
  2. The C16 EREV is powered by a battery pack with a capacity of 28.4 kWh and has a CLTC battery range of 200 km and a combined range of 1,095 km on a full tank of fuel and full charge. The C16 BEV carries a battery pack with a capacity of 67.7 km and a CLTC range of 520 km, according to information announced by Leapmotor yesterday. Built on the 800 V high-voltage platform, the Leapmotor C16 is the flagship model of its LEAP 3.0 architecture, with a maximum charging power of up to 180 kW and the ability to add 260 km to the range on a 15-minute charge, it said. The C16 BEV has an electric motor with a maximum power of 215 kW and a peak torque of 360 Nm, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as fast as 6.8 seconds. The BEV variant consumes 14.8 kWh per 100 km, and 18.5 kWh for the EREV version. The C16 EREV is powered by Leapmotor's next-generation EREV system assembly, with a generator efficiency of 96.5 percent, generating 3.27 kWh of electricity from 1 liter of gasoline, according to the company. Founded in 2015, Leapmotor is one of China's earliest new car-making forces and is expanding overseas in partnership with Stellantis NV (NYSE: STLA), Europe's second-largest automaker by sales. Yesterday, Reuters reported that Leapmotor International, a joint venture between the two, has begun production of EVs at Stellantis' plant in Tychy, Poland, with the first T03s having rolled off the production line. Leapmotor delivered 18,165 vehicles in May, a new high for the year so far and close to its all-time high at the end of last year, according to figures it released earlier this month. That's up 50.65 percent year-on-year and up 21.06 percent from 15,005 vehicles in April. In the January-May period, Leapmotor delivered 66,580 vehicles, up 112.76 percent year-on-year.
  3. Jeep wants Avenger to be a top 3-seller in Europe's biggest segment The small SUV ranks No. 15 in its segment, but Europe COO Eric Laforge says Jeep would like to join the Toyota Yaris Cross "on the podium" soon. FRANKFURT -- Jeep has high expectations for the Avenger. Once the four-wheel-drive version is added to the model range in Europe next year, the Stellantis subsidiary expects the Avenger to put pressure on the small SUV segment leader, the Toyota Yaris Cross. “I’ll be pleased if we can join them on the podium among small SUVs,” Jeep Enlarged Europe COO Eric Laforge told the Automotive News Europe Congress here June 12. He said that since the Avenger was launched in February 2023 Jeep has gotten 95,000 customer orders, with 25 percent of that volume being the battery-electric version and the rest equally split between gasoline and mild hybrid versions. Getting to the top three will be a big leap given that the Avenger was No. 15 with 25,820 sales in Europe’s largest segment through April, compared with 66,174 sales of the Yaris Cross. However, the Avenger got into the top 15 because of a 754 percent sales increase compared with the first four months of last year. Laforge admits the Avenger’s sales have been stalled by the automaker's decision to only offer the full-electric version of the small SUV at launch. Going EV first was decided years before the launch and was based on EV forecasts that didn’t materialize, he said. As a next step, Jeep only offered the gasoline version of the small SUV in Italy, Spain and Poland before extending that variant to the rest of Europe. A 48-volt mild-hybrid version followed this year. The experience with the Avenger has caused Jeep to take a more pragmatic approach. Jeep’s global boss, Antonio Filosa, recently told Automotive News Europe that while future new model launches will still start with the full-electric version, variants with internal combustion derivatives would quickly be added in markets where demand was high. With the lineup nearly complete, Jeep sees the Avenger as playing a key role in its goal of doubling its market share in Europe to 2 percent. Laforge said there is no reason why the U.S. brand can’t perform as well as in Europe as it does in Italy, where it has a 4.5 percent share of the market through May. The other cars Laforge is counting on to boost Jeep’s share are the new Compass to be launched next year and a European version of the Wagoner S large SUV that will arrive in Europe in 2026. The Compass for Europe will be assembled at in Melfi, southern Italy, one of four continents where Jeep plans to build the car, Laforge said. The Compass will be available in Europe with both electric and hybrid versions, but no gasoline- or diesel-only powertrains, he added. The Wagoner S was unveiled at the end of May in the U.S. In Europe it initially will only be offered as a full-electric model, Laforge said. (ANE)

  5. China's Leapmotor has started EV production at Stellantis' Polish plant, Jefferies says Leapmotor International plans to build a second Leapmotor model in Tychy starting in 2025, Jefferies said. A Stellantis joint venture with Leapmotor has started production of the Chinese automaker’s cars at Stellantis' Tychy plant in Poland, analysts at Jefferies said, quoting Leapmotor's management. The first units of the Leapmotor T03 small EV rolled off the production lines at the factory last week, Jefferies wrote in a report. The factory is on schedule for mass production of the T03 in September. Stellantis picked the Tychy plant as the first production base in Europe for Leapmotor's cars, primarily for cost-saving reasons, Reuters reported in March, citing two people close to the matter. The JV plans to build a second Leapmotor model in Tychy -- the A12 SUV -- starting in the first quarter of 2025, Jefferies said. Leapmotor has also started to prepare localized production of components, Jefferies added. Manufacturing costs at the Polish plant amount to around €400 to €500 ($428.08-$535.10) per car, similar to those at Leapmotor's base in China, versus around €1,000 in Italy, the management said according to Jefferies. Leapmotor plans to build its C10 SUV in China and export it to Europe at an initial stage as this model could be sold at higher prices, Jefferies said. Stellantis will begin sales of Leapmotor EVs in nine European markets in September including Germany, France, Italy and Spain. The European Commission last week announced extra duties on imported Chinese EVs from July. They will amount to an additional 21 percent for Leapmotor. Stellantis and Leapmotor have created a joint venture, led by Stellantis with a 51 percent stake, giving Stellantis exclusive rights to build, export and sell Leapmotor products outside China, a first for a legacy Western automaker. The venture, called Leapmotor International, is part of a wider cooperation between the two groups, which sees Stellantis buying a 21 percent stake in Leapmotor in a $1.6 billion deal. (ANE)
  6. ah si....come nella industria tessile della Toscana? 😂
  7. Si certo, questi cifre quasi per caso in vista tecnica sono senza senso, ma il senco del marketing, per esprimere la gerarchia dei modelli e il potere finanziario del cliente queste cifre sono la via migliore2, cifra piu grande = posizione piu alta nel ranking, facile e da capire subito per tutti nei mercati globali.
  8. si si.... 😉 (sorry per il o.t.)
  9. no, poi sono prodotti europei secondo i geni a Bruxelles. Come ho capito io, solo bev, ma forse ho capito male.
  10. Si certo, tutto che e prodotta in Cina.
  11. Ma solo in Italia, fuori questa differenza di lunghezza non interessa nessuno, sono tutti i due Pseudo-Suv-City, con la forma squadrata della Panda lo spazio interno sicuramente non e diverso della 600, forse il feeling e meglio e meno stretto e il disegno "500" per una macchina piu grande gia con 500X fuori Italia non ha funzionato. Secondo me la 600 possono tranquilamente cancellare. Panda ha la stessa meccanica (come tutti i Stellantis dal seg-b fino al D ), costa sicuramente significante meno rispetto 600 e ha un aspetto molto piu moderno, quindi batte 600 in tutti i campi.
  12. Domanda piu per principio. il marchio Fiat da molti anni non ha piu auto nel seg-B, quindi GrandePande deve conquistare tutta la sua clientela da concorrenti. Quali sono le auto che i clienti di oggi guidano e da cui la GP deve prendere gli acquirenti? E per quale motivo questi acquirenti dovrebbero cambiare?
  13. BMW's China-built electric Minis could face highest EV tariff from EU BMW's JV did not provide the EU with enough information to be classed as a company cooperating with a probe into possible unfair subsidies. BMW's new Mini electric cars built in China are set to be hit by the highest EV tariff of 38.1 percent under the EU's provisional plans, a source familiar with the matter said. BMW is building the Cooper full-electric hatchback and Aceman small electric crossover in China in a joint venture with Great Wall. Mass production began late last year, shortly after the EU launched its probe into potential unfair subsidies for EVs built in China. With production still in early days, the JV was unable to fulfil the European Commission's survey to the level of detail required to be classed as a company cooperating with the investigation, the source said, declining to be named because discussions are private. Companies seen as cooperating with the EU were subject to lower tariffs of 17.4 percent to 21 percent , according to a European Commission document seen by Reuters. That includes BMW Brilliance Automotive, another BMW joint venture which has produced the electric iX3 for export to Europe from China since 2021. A 38.1 percent price hike on the China-built Minis could dent sales at a time when the carmaker is counting on every projected all-electric sale to help meet tightening carbon emissions targets. But the tariffs on the new Mini EVs in Europe could be short-term. Starting in 2026, BMW will add production of the electric Cooper and Aceman at its plant in Oxford, England for European markets following investments of 600 million pounds ($750 million). BMW declined to comment. BMW CEO Oliver Zipse said earlier this week the tariffs were the "wrong way to go," echoing concerns from other German carmakers fearful of a trade war which could end in counter-tariffs on cars exported from Germany to China. The European Commission said that joint ventures producing cars in China would be subject to duties, without specifying whether more recently formed ventures might benefit from the lower 21 percent rate for companies that cooperated with the investigation. The deadline for imposing provisional measures is July 4, after which the investigation will continue to late October. That leaves time for Beijing and Brussels to make a deal to soften the blow. Companies can also submit comments and request hearings after the provisional duties are applied. (ANE)
  14. configuratore Tesla....😂😂
  15. ma erano i, ti e tii davvero cosi piu veri? injection, touring international, touring international injection non mi sembra cosi in linea. E per la d, ds e tds anche questo gia da anni non va piu per il contenuto vero: una d in senso del polmone 324d e 525d aspirato non esiste piu da decenni. tds = turbo diesel sono tutti da almeno 25 anni.
  16. Tu si....ma di solito la tipica clientela Fiat non e conosciuto per essere pronte di pagare un addizionale per il nome, sono piu quelli che cambiano dealer quando una offerta per la stessa macchina alsltro dealer e 50.-€ piu basso.
  17. ...ma non hanno un problema con il prezzo? C3 base costa 15k, Panda vecchia 16,5k - se GranePanda costa come C3 poi nessuno compra piu la piccola Panda. Costa GrandePanda piu che Panda vecchia, poi tutti prendono C3 perche e la stessa macchina che poi costa molto meno.
  18. Il 2.0 di Jaguar ha alesaggio/corsa 83x92,4mm con una cilindrata di 1997ccm, il 2.0 di BMW ha 84x90mm e come risultato 1995ccm. Quindi sono motori diversi. BMW fornisce il V8, non il L4.
  19. ma esattamente questo succede.... Europa del est e pieno di stabilmenti di nuovi competitori, Toyota, Hyundai, BYD ecc.
  20. E si, si potrebbe fare molto, ma hanno fatto cosi e al contrario ai geni di Stellantis non cambiano i nomi per caso e durtante la campagna di introduzione di una nuova macchina 😂 Questa i delle benzina e di altroaltroirei, quando era una differenzizzone verso le versioni a carburatore, nell fratempo completamente inutile.
  21. questa nomenclatura per il futuro non e valido solo per la 1er, anche per le G45 e G50 le benzina perdono la "i". "i" in futoro sara sempre davanti della cifra e sempre bev.
  22. La nuova nomenclatura si utilizza solo per gamme nuova partendo da adesso, la G46/G87 non e una gamma nuova. Boh...misteri del marketing. (anche la nuova nomenclatura per le bev si usera solo per le gamme del futuro, NA0 poi diventera qualcosa come i330, i340....)
  23. Chery Chairman Yin Tongyao confirmed previous rumors about Jaguar Land Rover’s adoption of Chery’s platforms during the interview. JLR’s future PHEV and BEV models will stand on M3X and E0X modular architectures that underpin such cars as Exlantix ET, Exlantix ES, Luxeed 7, Luxeed R7, Exeed RX, Chery Tiggo 9, etc. ............ https://carnewschina.com/2024/06/12/chery-confirmed-jaguar-land-rover-will-adopt-chinese-e0x-and-m3x-platforms/
