Sicuro? La settimana scorsa nella albergo nelle Dolomiti era un ospite di Slovenia con e-tron GT RS. E la Slovenia non è certo un esempio paradigmatico di infrastrutture futuristiche per il bev.

500N benchmark set: China mandates new safety standard requiring mechanical emergency release China has approved a mandatory national standard for vehicle door handles (GB 48001‑2026), effective January 1, 2027. The rules require all passenger cars and light commercial vehicles to feature mechanically releasable handles that can open under emergency conditions, including electronic system failures and crash scenarios. The standard applies to these vehicle types, with other categories encouraged to adopt the specifications, according to Autohome. The standard addresses safety concerns related to exterior door handle operation, particularly the inability to open doors after certain incidents, as CarNewsChina previously reported. Each door, excluding the rear hatch, must have a mechanically releasable exterior handle. Handles must be located within designated shadow areas on the door surface or adjacent door frame and provide sufficient hand-operating space in all states to permit effective mechanical release during emergencies such as irreversible restraint system deployment or battery thermal events. Exterior handles, including electrically actuated systems, must meet uniform performance criteria. Vehicles with electric release mechanisms must include independent mechanical linkages capable of withstanding forces of at least 500 N without breaking or detaching. After testing, handles must still be able to open the corresponding door to ensure reliable emergency operation. Interior door handles are also subject to mechanical reliability requirements. Each side door must have at least one mechanical release handle, and any interior handle must independently open its corresponding door. The standard defines precise installation zones for at least one interior handle, requiring unobstructed visibility from the occupant position, placement within 300 mm of the door edge, and vertical alignment relative to the seating reference point. The regulation also sets requirements for identification and usability. Interior handles must feature permanent, unobstructed graphical symbols of at least 100 mm × 70 mm with high contrast, and Chinese or pictorial operation instructions must be provided nearby with a minimum character height of 6 mm. Technical performance testing must confirm that rotational interior handles withstand at least 300 N and button-type handles at least 500 N without structural failure, and all handles must open the door after testing. Phased implementation is specified in the standard. Vehicles applying for new type approvals must meet most requirements from July 1, 2025, and all requirements after 13 months. Vehicles with existing type approval must comply with all requirements by July 1, 2027, following a 25-month transition period. GB 48001‑2026 provides a unified framework for vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers to ensure mechanical reliability, emergency operability, and consistent safety performance across passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

Con un gancio di traino non solo è possibile trainare una roulotte, ma anche trasportare un motoscafo dal rimessaggio invernale al posto di ormeggio. Oppure, molto più spesso, mountain bike (nel mio caso una Lombardo Tures DC90 e una Tures Race di mia moglie più un portabici Thule Easy Fold 3, 25,9 kg + 26,1 kg + 18,5 kg, per un totale di 70,5 kg, ben oltre il limite della Giullia di 64 kg). Con un'Audi con limite di 80 kg o una Serie 3 con limite di 75 kg, invece, non c'è alcun problema. Anche il carico sul tetto di soli 50 kg della Giulia (contro i 90 kg dell'Audi e i 75 kg della BMW) non è proprio indice di una struttura della carrozzeria eccessivamente stabile e non è di grande aiuto per una vacanza sulla neve con 3 o 4 persone.

….semplicemente dominare il nemico... per i cinesi l'economia è una forma di guerra

Lo svantaggio della struttura leggera della Giulia è la scarsa stabilità, che si nota dalla capacità di traino inferiore alla media e dal carico di appoggio ridotto con gancio di traino. Quest'ultimo non è sufficiente nemmeno per due mountain bike elettriche con relativo portabici.

…..penso che piuttosto sarebbe un cinese ad andare a fare shopping 😝….come in altro settore ANTA e Puma oppure Midea e KUKA ecc. ecc.

ZF and BMW Sign Agreement for Future-Oriented Drive Technologies • Further development of the 8-speed automatic transmission with a special focus on electrified drives • Strengthens technological flexibility, provides planning stability Friedrichshafen, Munich. ZF Friedrichshafen AG and the BMW Group have signed a long-term supply agreement in the field of passenger car drive systems. The core of the agreement is the supply and continued development of the proven 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP). The contract, worth several billion euros, runs until the late 2030s. This creates a solid foundation for open-technology and low-emission mobility of the future for both companies. “Together with BMW, we are sending a strong signal for innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in an industry undergoing dynamic change,” says Mathias Miedreich, CEO of ZF. “This agreement highlights the strategic importance of our 8-speed automatic transmission as a key technology for the transformation of drive systems.” As part of the partnership, the 8HP transmission kit will be continuously developed. The aim is to provide customers with the most powerful and efficient transmission that meets the requirements of future drive concepts. “The new agreement with BMW shows how important long-term planning horizons are for technological advancements,” explains Sebastian Schmitt, Head of ZF's Electrified Drive Technologies division. “It creates clarity and stability for both companies and enables us to align the next generation of the 8HP specifically toward efficiency, performance, and long-term viability.” ZF thus strengthens its position as a system supplier and gains additional planning reliability. Close collaboration in the future will help reduce risks in a rapidly changing market environment and lay the foundation for low emission mobility going forward. (ZF Group) Quindi almeno per la esportazione verso mercati non europei ci saranno Bmw Ice anche dopo 2035, altrimenti non avrebbe senso un contratto lungo oltre 10 anni. Sempr a condizione che ZF non fallisca prima.

Ma stai confrontando mele e pere, ovvero un'auto concettualmente vecchia di oltre 10 anni con una attuale. Una Giulia III, quando finalmente sarà pronta nel 2029, sarà anche notevolmente più pesante rispetto una Giulia II di 15 anni fa, che a sua volta è notevolmente più pesante di una Giulia I.

..ma @dindi ha parlato della RS6 mi sembra. Ma qui in Germania si parlano anche per la RS5 come Phev. Forse RS5 V6-Phev, RS6 V8-Phev.

target e la M5, allora almeno anche 725CV complessivi, forse piu CV del ice rispetto la BMW, considerando che la M5 perde 40CV termiche con Euro 7.

A breakthough in solid-state battery materials: Chinese researchers unveil “breathable” silicon anode A collaborative research team led by Professor Chen Wanghua from the Faculty of Physical Science and Technology at Ningbo University, alongside researchers from Ningbo University of Technology and Ningbo Institute of Technology, has announced a breakthrough in solid-state lithium battery anode materials. According to Chinese media Global Times,the team has successfully developed a novel silicon nanowire anode featuring a three-dimensional “breathable” structure, inspired by natural respiratory mechanisms, offering a promising new pathway for the development of high-performance silicon anode all-solid-state lithium batteries. The findings were recently published in the international energy materials journal, Energy Storage Materials. All-solid-state lithium batteries are widely regarded by scientists and industry as the “ultimate goal” for next-generation battery technology due to their enhanced safety, higher energy density, and superior cycle performance. Among potential anode materials for these advanced batteries, silicon stands out for its exceptionally high theoretical capacity—ten times that of traditional commercial graphite anodes—and excellent chemical compatibility. However, silicon’s practical application has been severely limited by its dramatic volume expansion, exceeding three times its original size during charge and discharge cycles. This expansion leads to severe mechanical stress, interface detachment, and rapid degradation of electrochemical performance. “If we liken a lithium battery to an energy storage warehouse, silicon is the recognized ‘super porter’ with immense storage potential,” explained Professor Chen Wanghua. “However, this ‘giant’ has an extremely volatile temperament: when absorbing lithium ions during charging, silicon’s volume violently expands by over three times. With repeated charge-discharge cycles, silicon acts like a balloon constantly inflating and deflating, eventually ‘collapsing’ due to exhaustion, leading to a sudden death of the battery’s lifespan.” To address this critical challenge, the research team devised an innovative solution to enable silicon to “breathe freely” within a rigid solid-state environment. Utilizing plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technology, they designed and fabricated a novel three-dimensional columnar silicon architecture that integrates directly with the current collector. This design boasts a “dual-phase” core-shell structure, prepared through a two-step PECVD process. “We moved away from traditional ‘silicon powder’ and instead made silicon ‘stand’ like trees in a forest, interwoven to form a three-dimensional network on the current collector,” Professor Chen elaborated. “These nanowires have abundant voids between them, much like installing countless ‘breathing valves’ inside the battery. When lithium ions surge in, the silicon nanowires can expand into these reserved spaces without crushing the surrounding electrolyte.” Experimental results demonstrate that this columnar silicon anode exhibits exceptional electrochemical performance and practicality. The developed battery proved capable of continuously supplying power even when bent or cut with scissors, showcasing remarkable mechanical robustness and safety. This research establishes a new paradigm for unifying ion transport kinetics with mechanical integrity through architectural design. It provides a feasible and practical technical path for the development of high-energy, long-life all-solid-state silicon-based lithium batteries, bringing the next generation of battery technology closer to reality.

Non mi riferisco all'attuale livello 2, ma al livello 3/3+ che diventerà lo standard negli anni Trenta. E, cosa ancora più importante, la telemetria: vengono raccolti tutti i dati relativi allo stile di guida, alla forza di accelerazione, all'intensità di frenata e all'accelerazione trasversale in curva. Questi dati vengono poi trasmessi all'assicurazione, che ti classifica come guidatore a rischio e raddoppia il premio. E no, non è una fantasia: in alcuni paesi esiste già oggi la possibilità di ottenere uno sconto su base volontaria. Il piacere di guidare è ormai un ricordo del passato.

Si certo, ma e purtroppo un fatto che ZF e in condizioni gravi.

Assolutamente superfluo in un mondo futuro caratterizzato da telemetria permanente e guida assistita o autonoma.

….ma solo se ZF sopravviverà fino al 2028 e oltre... 😂🤣

Nemmeno la G50 avrà più un motore diesel.

Sì. Anche gli italiani, in termini relativi, ma con numeri assoluti ridicoli. E negli Stati Uniti ci sono sicuramente casi isolati di persone che desiderano una station wagon, ma in linea di principio una station wagon è un no-go assolutamente.

Ma chi, oltre ai tedeschi, acquista ancora oggi una station wagon sul mercato mondiale?

…e almeno ser4 GC in Usa non e la grande burner…...

Mi sembra molto probabile che non si tratti di un nuovo modello Maserati, bensì di uno spin-off della linea Alfa, come scrivi tu.

Si, volume pianificato per 26 e venduta, al momenta lavorano a concetti per aumentare il volume produttivo.

Perche? Infrastruttura abbastanza bene, mercato di ricarica deliberata e incentivi statali.
