Tesla

⚡Tesla launched its first &#8216;steer-by-wire&#8217; car. The company eliminated the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and wheels with #Cybertruck.
🟢Thanks to the switch to 48V low voltage electrical architecture, the company uses completely electronic steering instead of the vehicle&#8217;s heavy and complex steering system. It offers four-wheel steering with three motors, two in the front and one in the rear, with a total of 5 horsepower.

🛻 Cybertruck can make a full wheel turn at low speed with a steering angle narrower than 180 degrees and at high speed thanks to steer-by-wire. It can change the vehicle&#8217;s steering/wheel rotation ratio within seconds and restrict movement. Thus, a safer driving performance with high maneuverability/accuracy and a narrow turning circle can be achieved.
⚡Tesla emphasizes that thanks to its switch to the 48V system, it can power the motors required for steer-by-wire. The company also adds that as the mechanical steering was replaced by a few small motors, cables, and controllers, a larger space was created in the cabin and the vehicle weight decreased.

Volkswagen

🔋Slow in electric vehicle conversion, Volkswagen is considering laying off at least 20,000 employees!
⚡Former Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess announced two years ago that the company would have to make massive layoffs if it delayed its electric vehicle transformation. Diess&#8217;s bad scenario is about to come true.
🚗With a total of more than 675,000 employees worldwide, Volkswagen is considering laying off 20,000 employees to increase its operating profit margin to 6.5% by 2026 and save 10 billion euros, according to German media.
🛑 Former CEO Diess made the following statement in October 2021: &#8220;If the MEB platform fails to have the expected impact and we are slow in the electric vehicle transformation, we may have to lay off up to 30,000 employees.&#8221;
💰 In the European market, where it is the strongest, the German giant, whose electric vehicle orders decreased by half on an annual basis according to the last quarter&#8217;s data, decided to temporarily stop the production of electric models in two factories. There is concern that the decline in production will continue in 2024.
Calculations for downsizing at Volkswagen show that at least one factory should be closed. According to the same calculations, it indicates that 20,000 layoffs will not be sufficient for financial recovery.

Ford

Ford is at risk of closing its plant in Germany!
Ford has decided to follow a different path after negotiations with a Chinese investor for the sale of its factory in Germany went negatively. The factory will either be closed or converted into a technology center in 2025.
Ford, which plans to launch seven electric vehicles in the European market next year, is scaling back its European production network to cut costs and focus solely on selling electric cars on the continent after 2030.
The factory in Saarlouis, Germany, produces the Ford Focus model that the company will discontinue in 2025. It is stated that even the presence of a factory for production in the region seems unnecessary for the model, which will not come in an electric version. In this context, the factory&#8217;s existence in Germany is a big question mark for the company management.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-39659 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1-1024x689.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="505" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1-1024x689.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1-300x202.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1-768x517.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1-1536x1034.jpeg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1-2048x1379.jpeg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1-1568x1056.jpeg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Within the scope of the feasibility study carried out by the Chinese investor during the process, it was reported that it was not the right decision for the factory to continue production, and in this context, the investor withdrew. Although the name of the company with which the negotiations were held was not shared in the statements made by Ford, sources following the process reported that this investor was a Chinese automobile manufacturer. The fact that companies such as BYD are among the 15 potential investors interested in the factory stands out as details that strengthen this inference.
The idea of transforming the plant into a technology center seems to be an appropriate decision for Ford&#8217;s management. The company wants to use the 4400 employees already working there without laying off about 1000 of them.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-39661 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-1568x1045.jpeg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The beginning of the end for the Saarlouis plant began in 2022, when Ford chose Valencia, Spain, as the production center for its next generation of electric cars. The union representing workers at the plant, which has been trying to forge a collective bargaining agreement to protect the workers who will be laid off, expressed anger and disappointment at the news, threatening that the move would be &#8220;costly&#8221; for Ford if so many workers lose their jobs.

Skywell

The new Skywell ET5 has been introduced. The vehicle reaches 50% charge in 7 minutes.
Ability to charge other vehicles at 100 kW!
🔋65.71 kWh battery
🟢Thermal management system with heat pump
🟢800V electrical architecture
🟢900V/480 kW DC charging support
🟢520 km range
Chinese Skywell, which has left its mark on the electric vehicle market, introduced the new version of the ET5 (Skyworth EV6 II in China) model.
Skywell has made a serious hardware update with its 800V electrical architecture and heat pump thermal management system. The company has also shrunk the battery as it has a much more efficient system. Despite this, the vehicle manages to reach the same range.
The new Skywell ET5 can go from 30% to 80% charge in 7 minutes. The vehicle can also charge other electric vehicles at speeds up to 100 kW. It can be used almost like a roadside assistance vehicle.

Skywell also introduced super-fast DC charging solutions at the event, and plans to set up 400 different stations by the end of this year and 1,000 by the end of 2024. 5 countries other than China, including Turkey, were probably included in this plan. All stations will have 900V/600 kW DC units.
Apart from hardware, we see that the highly anticipated Skylink 2.0 operating system has found its place in this vehicle in software as well. This software, in which CharGPT-supported voice assistant is integrated, will serve with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support in Turkey.

Ssangyong

🟢Ssangyong has now started selling cars under the name &#8216;KGM Motors&#8217;. The company announced it will launch three new models in the second half of 2024.
🔋The Korean manufacturer has a battery partnership with #BYD and also developing an electric vehicle platform from scratch for these three models.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-41465" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/3-8-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/3-8-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/3-8-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/3-8-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/3-8.jpeg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
🚙Unlike the Torres EVX, the first Ssangyong to be designed from birth to electric will be the electric version of Korando, codenamed KR10. It will be followed by the electric pick-up 0100 and the large SUV F100.
💰KGM&#8217;s electric cars will be sold with the advantage of zero customs duty in Turkey because they are produced in South Korea.
