There was a time in which the big oil companies raised “transition” to renewables. BP just kill the plan

by

The British giant BP has announced a radical turn in its corporate strategy: from the green commitment to fossil fuels again. Short. A year after be appointed CEO of BPMurray Auchincloss has dismantled the plan to reduce the production of hydrocarbons that had promoted his predecessor, Bernard Looney. Auchincloss described his new strategy as a “fundamental restart” In the company’s plans: to cut the investment in renewable energy to increase the production of oil and natural gas. A turn in the middle of the investment pressure. The latest BP results did not excite their investors. During the fourth quarterthe net profit of the group fell to 1.2 billion dollars, less than half as in the same period of the previous year. With a collection of dividends of just eight cents per share, Elliott Investment Management, which accumulates a participation Of almost 5,000 million dollars in BP, it has intensified the pressure on the group to improve the return of its shareholders. Given this scenario, BP has decided not to get away from fossil fuels, but to enhance its production. When your neighbor’s beards see cut … Shell, Exxonmobil and Totalenergies, three of the main competitors of BP, They have been improving results Thanks to its commitment to the production of hydrocarbons, whose demand continues to increase slightly despite the energy transition. As the divergence in the performance of both strategies became more noticeable, BP shareholders, especially Elliott, have been demanding drastic improvements in the structure and strategy of the company. How this affects renewables. It is not encouraging news. BP plans to increase its investment in hydrocarbons to about 10,000 million dollars annually until 2027, with the aim of produce between 2.3 and 2.5 million barrels Petroleum and natural gas newspapers by 2030. To be able to do this while returning capital to shareholders, BP will substantially reduce spending on less profitable projects, such as renewable energies. The group will adjust its investments in these areas with a very selective approach, prioritizing transition projects that require a lower disbursement. Its Offshore wind division will become independent from the group. Even so… BP says to continue committed to its goal of achieve carbon neutrality by 2050a legal objective established by the United Kingdom government, which was one of the first to formalize and support with legislation the commitment to reduce net greenhouse gases to zero emissions. BP’s change of strategy can help her be more profitable in the near future, but only a transition. It will clearly be inevitable If climatic policies are maintained or become more aggressive. With the improvements in efficiency and safety of nuclear energy, advances in electrification and increasingly cheaper renewables, excuses are over to continue betting on fossil fuels.

Good news for China, not so much for the western technology industry

by

The Democratic Republic of Congo (RDC) has established a measure that will affect cobalt exports. No more cobalt? The market regulation and control authority of strategic mineral substances (Arecoms) has announced that cobalt exports will be detained for at least four months. According to He explained Its president, Patrick Luabya, the decision seeks to control the supply of cobalt in an international market that is facing an overproduction of metal. The importance of cobalt. There is a common metal that both electric vehicles and mobile devices and other technologies share: cobalt. In this century, I know has promoted its demand. However, the production of cobalt in the RDC, which represents around 70% of the world supply, has fallen together with the lithium. This has caused other cobalt producers, such as Russia and Australia, to win more prominence. The reason for the oversupply has been the increase in production by From the Chinese company CMOCsince he has doubled his extraction in two large mines in the country. This situation has had an impact on supply and demand, causing a price drop. In fact, according to Fastmarkets data, cobalt reference prices They have dropped out of 10 dollars per pounda level that had not been seen in more than 20 years. The current impact on the global market. Despite this fall, the markets have entered into tension with the measure taken by RDC. But they have been able to breathe calm because the suspension of exports have not meant an immediate change in the price of cobalt. However, market experts consider that, in the short term, this action could generate a market stiffnesssince cobalt stocks will accumulate in the RDC instead of going to Chinese deposits, as is often the case. China. Although the suspension of exports has not yet affected prices, this can benefit the Asian country. Chinese companies, which They already control A significant part of the offer and cobalt production may be strengthened from this crisis. In fact, China It has access to other cobalt sources Like Australia, Russia and Indonesia. Particularly the latter has great cobalt reservations and has experienced significant growth in its production. In addition, the Congo decision has reinforced China’s domain, while the West faces greater difficulties in ensuring essential materials for technological and energy sectors. In this way, the Asian country has taken a dominance position in front “The war of tariffs” against Donald Trump. It should be added that the latter You will need many materials That has China. The western technology industry. The measure has directly affected the technological sector of Europe and the United States, since they depend on the cobalt to make batteries of electric vehicles and electronic devices. However, the Democratic Republic of the Congo seeks to redefine its role in the global market And he has asked Europe and the United States for help through an agreement. In this approach, the African country has established an agreement by which they offer strategic minerals in exchange for support for the stability and development of the country. This proposition starts from the RDC is facing internal tensions. In particular, the east of the Congo is being the scene of armed conflictssome with alleged relationship with Rwandawhich has intensified the violence in rubber and bukavu, both border cities with Rwanda are known for their mines rich in different elements. With this proposal, the RDC expects to attract Western investment and reduce its dependence on China in the mining sector. It remains to be seen if the United States and Europe will accept the agreement, which would allow them to ensure more stable access to these strategic resources. Copper. It should be noted that the cobalt is mainly extracted as an byproduct of copper in the Congo. The suspension of cobalt exports It will not affect Production or copper exports, another key mineral that Congo also produces in large quantities. This means that, although the export of cobalt is limited, copper exports will follow its normal course, without important changes. The suspension of exports will continue for three more months and will be revalued. During this period we will have to be attentive to future actions of the West and as China will redraw the energy map.

Alibaba has new Open Source to generate videos. The problem is that it is being used to generate pornographic deepfakes

by

Last week Alibaba launched Wanx 2.1a new AI model for video generation that competes with others such as Sorafrom OpenAi, or I see 2from Google. The tool ended up becoming 24 hours later the person responsible for dozens of pornographic videos They will be published on the Internet. Wanx 2.1 is also an Open Source model whose code It is available in github. Very soon users fond of pornographic content and who also possessed the appropriate technical knowledge took advantage of that fair model for that: to generate porn videos. They told it in 404 averagewhere they indicated how in communities dedicated to producing and sharing pornographic deepfakes without the consent of the people represented, the users were “salivating” because of the advanced Alibaba model. Some of those videos were shared in Civitai, A platform in which users share images and videos generated with AI tools, but in which such images are also bought and sold. The statistics that we can find in the pages of the AI ​​models used to create those images and video show how These models have already been downloaded hundreds of times by users. There are already dozens of pornographic videos created with WAN 2.1, indicate in 404 average. In Civitai, users are allowed to share AI models, but unseeled pornographic content is not allowed. That does not prevent users from discharging the models and use them to produce these models themselves, they affirm in this medium. The problem is once again the use of tools that, of course, allow perfectly appropriate and spectacular videos, but can also be used for uses such as these. We already saw how this type of Deepfakes They can become very profitableand the advance of these tools makes it difficult to control this type of content. In Xataka | In South Korea, Deepfake Porn has become a nightmare. Your solution: three years in jail for those who see it

Tokyo has four times more population than Madrid and traffic jams are non -existent. The secret is called Shako Shomeishho

by

Spain has an extension of 506,030 square kilometers And they live 48.35 million people. Japan has an area of 377,974 square kilometers where 124.5 million people live. In the city of Madrid it is calculated that they live 3.23 million peoplewhile in Tokyo a total of 14.22 million people. The difference is even more striking if we take into account population density. In Madrid they live 5,265.91 hab./km², while Tokyo rises to 6. 501.58 hab./km². Which of the two cities is hell to drive? If you throw one eye to photographs of Japanese citiesyou will have realized that there are a lot, many people walking and in public transport. But how many cars do you see on the street? The answer is simple: very few. If we attend to the 2020 dataSpain had in use 29,875,896 million cars, while in Japan 76,702,773 cars were counted. How can it be that a country with a much lower surface and that walks to triple our population Don’t be a car hell If you have a car density per person very similar to ours (629 cars/1,000 inhabitants for Spain for the 609 cars/1000 inhabitants for Japan)? They have achieved, of course, limiting to the force the number of cars that can be possessed in the big cities where, by logic, a greater number of cars should accumulate. As? The secret is Shako Shomeishho Although the density of car per inhabitant is very similar to the Spanish, the truth is that it collapses if we focus on large cities. In Japan it is estimated that each home has 1.06 cars of the total. That figure collapses to the 0.32 vehicles per household In Tokyo. The great Japanese city is, in fact, the rich city where the car is used. According to Deloitteonly 12% of the daily journeys in Tokyo are carried out by car, while 17% are bicycle. Figures that are not understood without two express prohibitions: that of parking on the street and buying a car … without space to park it. And a little luck. Andre Sorensen, professor of urban planning at the University of Toronto, says that part of Tokyo’s success to get this low vehicle density begins by a chance. At the beginning of the 20th centuryjust 15% of the Japanese lived in cities. That figure is now 91%. Tokyo (above) and Rotterdam (below) two examples of cities rebuilt after World War II. Source: Google Maps The explosion came with the end of World War II. The cities were razed and the growth in Tokyo was so chaotic that the buildings began to grow without control, some glued to others. You can compare with Google Maps photographs how Tokyo grew, completely uncontrolled with countless tiny plots, and how Rotterdam grew, with a planning studied to combine green areas in residential areas. Sorensen explains that this population explosion caused the flowering of narrow streets that hindered the passage and storage of the vehicles themselves. The wave of workers to the cities forced the institutions They will turn off with public transport And in 1957 the first measure was taken to regulate the use of the car in cities. And, with rebound, a good reason to discourage its use. Since then a law is applied that prevents the car on the street. What is usual in any European city, in Japan it is strictly prohibited. The fine is also no nonsense. They apply sanctions of up to 200,000 yen for leaving the car irregularly parked what is a fine of more than 1,200 euros. Just a few years later, in 1962 the Shako Shomeishho. This name refers to the certificate that the buyer of a car has to present when acquiring the vehicle. With him it is guaranteed that this person has a place to park the car. That is, it has a parking space to park the car every night. If you don’t have a garage, you will be forbidden to buy a car. The Kei Cars, like this Daihatsu Copen, do not need to have a parking certificate except in Tokyo and Osaka This Shako Shomeisho does not apply to Kei Carsthe small Japanese cars that measure less than 3.4 meters in length, 1.48 meters wide and 2.0 meters high and with motors of less than 660 cc that cannot exceed the 64 hp of power. Of course, in the larger cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, the obligation to have the garage certificate to get a vehicle is also applied. The Shako Shomeishho has triggered the price of the land of parking lots. In fact, the expensive thing is not to buy a car, the expensive thing is to get the possibility of buying a car. Is Something similar to what happens in Singapore With a subtle difference: there are spaces available to park cars in Tokyo that are sold for more than one million euros and in the ads themselves the yield that can be taken out allowing the rental of vehicles per hour is reflected. And you have to keep in mind that Not all parking lots are valid. The garage to save the car must be less than two kilometers from the usual residence and to get the certificate, it must be able to corroborate this with plans or even require the entry and exit measures of the garage. If the car is too large, the buyer can have problems for the authorities to approve the certificate and have nowhere to park … or rent it. The solution can go through rent the garages But there are neighborhoods where monthly rentals can easily go above 500 euros (about 77,000 yen). In some very specific places in the most expensive neighborhoods, the spaces They are quoted with rents above 700 euros (110,000 yen). How could it be otherwise, the houses for sale are offered with triggered prices when the “central” combiance and “parking space” shake hands. With offers that exceed 3.5 million euros (550 million yen) … Read more

BMW does not want to hear about solid state batteries

by

Have an electric car with the Autonomy of a conventional diesel It is one of the objectives of the industry. The technology of the current batteries does not allow that without including huge modules and without harming load times, but there is something on the horizon that promises to fulfill the dream: the solid state batteries that They promise to change the rules of the game. The goal is to achieve the 1,000 kilometers of autonomy and there are already companies like Saic -Dueña de Mg- They claim to have lists. It is not the only one: Mercedes says he has a that already endures those 1,000 kilometers, Byd wants to start implementing Short -term solid state batteries and Honda has just opened a megafactory of 270 million euros to manufacture them. Other greats like Ford and BMW They began to show interest For this technology a few years ago, but it is precisely the current BMW that has launched into the air that, although those of solid state are the future, the current lithium -ion batteries still have much to say. Lithium left kilometers away The interest in solid state batteries is due to multiple factors. They are smaller and light than those of Lithium ionsbut also denser, so they can store more energy. They are also loaded at a much higher speed, it is estimated that it has a useful life of between 8,000 and 10,000 cycles before starting to degrade and are safer because the flammable liquid electrolyte is replaced by a solid one. Toyota the ha qualified as “what can change the future of electric cars” and it is evident that all the main companies have interest in technology. However, in a recent interview To the Middle Autocar, the vice president of next -generation battery technology in BMW, Martin Schuster, has calmed the spirits a bit. Like so many things, money is what the singing voice carries in the passage to new solid state batteries, and Schuster has commented that BMW is eight years after needing to have an option with this battery in the market. “The most important thing is now the lithium -ion battery. It is not finished and improvements are still observed. There is no single definitive battery and will not arrive, but at this time, the lithium -ion battery can constantly improve. ” More than an improvement in performance, the real challenge is to reduce costs. For Schuster, the “main and most important” objective is to reduce costs. The manager commented that they can make solid state battery now, “but the cost makes no sense. There is still a long way to go with lithium -ion batteries. ” BMW is clear that lithium -ion batteries are present and future. A key is to improve on the existing, but above all to lower development and packaging costs Thus, plans such as Byd’s to start riding them in 2027, it seems that they do not fit what BMW has in mind because, in the end, who will pay those first batteries will be the users. “Would you be a customer willing to pay a much higher price for a solid state battery just for a load perhaps a little faster? The price is one of the most important points in the decision -making of electric vehicles, ”he added. Schuster confirmed that his GEN6 battery will be the one they use in the immediate future because they have not observed ways of manufacturing millions of solid state batteries at a low price, with high efficiency, an obvious improvement of quality and a simple integration into current cars. But, of course, Mercedes has that aforementioned battery with 1,000 kilometers of autonomy and from Autocar they asked him about the matter. “They are in a price range that is not competitive,” he replied. “That is the reality today and, when we see that they compete against lithium -ion batteries -in that cost/price relationship -then we will take note,” said the manager. For Schuster’s words, it seems that BMW has a decade ahead To think about the introduction of solid state batteries in their vehicles and Neue Klasse With that battery Gen6 They are the bet of the German house. And these batteries will also be integrated into other models, such as the SUVs, being the X5 of 2026 the first in receiving them. We will see if they maintain that bet at the time when the rest of the brands are launched by those of solid state, since it is not only the traditional marks that are in the fight: The Chinese They are very interested and giant like Huawei either Samsung They are developing their own.

It is not infallible, but we have a trick to protect the mobile against invisible malware: a reset on time

by

Putting the shoot after the wound is not optimal, but it is something we usually do in the digital world. When our accounts or passwords – or those of someone close – are violated, is when we start worrying about cybersecurity. We change the passwordsWe add Two -step verification systems And we see what we can do so that Our accounts and devices are safer. And, between All types of malwarethere is a tremendously annoying and dangerous one: the spy software that performs Zero-Click attacks. The good thing is that we can protect ourselves by acquiring a simple habit: restart the mobile. Zero click. When we talk about such vulnerability, we refer to a security failure that allows someone to enter malicious software on our device without having to perform any action. Taking advantage of a mobile safety failure or PCs, hackers are capable of ‘strain’ software on the device without having downloaded anything or punctured in strange links. That is why it is called ‘Zero Click’, since, to open the doors of our device to another type of malware -like phishing, for example -we do have to perform an action. This is something that has been used recently in apps such as Outlook or in him iPhoneand the same thing always happens: failures in the safety of the app or the system opens the door torque to the click zero malware. Pegasus. These vulnerabilities usually occur the same day to launch a new version of an app or an operating system. Taking advantage of possible programming failures and safety gaps, malware can go through a back door without us knowing. And these attacks usually go hand in hand with spy software, very difficult to identify by the user, but that has almost ease access for our device. Surely sounds to you Pegasusthat spy software developed by the Israeli company that He infected mobiles of thousands of journalists, politicians and other personalities. Using capacities similar To those who attack taking advantage of the Zero-Click, it allows to see, even, conversations in encrypted apps. Through WhatsApp. But it is not the only one, since recently, spy software known as Graphite infected the mobile of several people using a WhatsApp failure. Rocky Cole is the co -founder of a cybersecurity company and has commented A ZDNET that Graphite sneaked into the mobile through an image or a PDF sent by WhatsApp To the mobile of the victims, and the underlying processes that are activated when files are received in the app are the ones that the attackers explode to infect the device. It is not known, at least publicly, if Graphite can move to the core of iOS or only operate on WhatsApp, but could take advantage of an “escalation of privileges” – a vulnerability of the app – to move outside the messaging application. Cole states that this attack was aimed at concrete people, but comments that it is an emerging threat to all. “And the world is not, at all, prepared to deal with something like that,” he says. Tract it as a computer. In the report, Cole leaves the wedge of the advertising of its application Iverify, but also two tips that are not unknown, but it is worth remembering. The first is that we should acquire the habit of restarting or off the mobile every day. The reason is that many of these vulnerabilities exist only in memory and, not being files, in theory the malware should be eliminated when cleaning the memory after a restart. The bad thing is that it is easy for the spy software to return to the device, so something that it also recommends is to install the updates as soon as they are available. These patches usually cover the vulnerabilities found by both companies and external groups, such as Mozilla Security Groupwho analyzes the software and warns those responsible to patch it. Better turn off. Although several security experts agree that we should not leave the mobile on 24/7, not everyone agrees that a simple restart can solve these problems. The reason is that, when restarting the device, some mobiles try to maintain everything as it was before, storing certain data in memory and these being the ones that would take advantage of the hackers. The NSA – the United States National Security Agency – commented that It is best to turn it off completely and wait a few seconds before turning it on again. In this way, all applications have to start from scratch again. And, according to the NSA, it is something we should do once a week. Beyond security. The NSA itself coincides with school that restarting or turning off the mobile is not a magical solution against this type of malware, but it can stop cybercriminals and make them engineer new ways to maintain access, perhaps being these more visible for device safety systems. But well, apart from security, both on iPhone and, above all, in Android mobiles, make a restart every so often Close processes and release RAM. It happens, as we say, especially in Android, where the system code can ‘fight’ against the manufacturer’s customization layer, making the mobile not do well that we should have been without restarting/off because there will be many waste in the RAM. Bad? That is something that forces us to acquire a new habit. Turning it only takes us for a few seconds, but if we are not used, the easiest thing is for us to forget. The good thing is that many mobiles already include restart and off options programmed in their adjustments.

This optional package costs 230,000 euros

by

The Bugatti Tourbillon is not a car, it is a declaration of purchasing power in the form of Hybrid supercard with zero label. The basic model of this Bugatti filigree has a base price of 3.8 million euros (without taxes), but the extras They can inflate the invoice end. An example: the New package “Equipe Pur Sang” Cuesta The same as a new Porsche 911 GT3. Bugatti justifies this additional cost with a clear philosophy: its customers not only look for speed, They seek absolute exclusivity. Bugatti said that only 250 units of the Tourbillon will be manufactured, so it is not known how many of those will leave the concessionaire with this “vitamin” equipment. That will turn these jewels of mechanical engineering into museum pieces very coveted by collectors that can afford to pay an invoice of almost 4.5 million euros since the personalization “Equipe Pur Sang” would have a estimated price of 230,000 euros. Eight exhaust tubes and carbon fiber in sight The check @bugattitourbillon.registry He has leaked the images of the “Equipe Sang” package mounted. This personalization visually transforms the Tourbillon by adding some elements that enhance the sporting character (in case it did not have it sufficiently marked). Without a doubt, their most striking feature are the Eight exhaust pipes Chrome that looks like its rear, in front of the four rectangular tubes in double tube configuration of the original model. The four added escapes do not improve performance, but the visual effect, creating an aggressive silhouette that dominates the rear. This configuration of four tubes on each side marks a milestone itself since it is the largest number of escapes that have ever ridden in a bugatti. Thus, the Bugatti Tourbillon “Equipe Pur Sang” would be overcoming the six -escape configuration that the Bugatti La Vaiture Noire. The details of this customization are not limited to the rear, the front has been modified by redesigning air inlets, leaving a more aerodynamic divisor. The impressive aspect of this beast with zero DGT labelIt is completed with carbon fiber finish exposed in the body, painted in Matt Vermillion tones (orange red) and Matt Red. Details such as the “Equipe Pur Sang” logo on the bumper, spoiled and dashboard underline their exclusivity. The personalization of the “Equipe Pur Sang” reaches the interior with a new airline color for the upholstery, which is finished with the logos of the limited series embroidered in the heads of the seats in the same colors Matt Vermillion and Matt Red that looks in the body. V16 hybrid with electric soul Under its hood no modification is known, so it is expected to maintain its atmospheric V16 propeller of 8.3 liters combined with three electric motors, delivering 1,800 hp and 3,000 Nm. This brutal combination allows to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2 seconds and reach 445 km/h, stratospheric figures for a 1995 kg car. To counteract Its voracity of fuelincludes a 24.8 kWh battery that offers up to 60 km of electrical autonomy. A technical paradox: the same car that burns fuel with eight tubes can move silently through the city. Bugatti demonstrates that even in the electric era, the show of a combustion engine continues to sell.

The installation is one of the barriers for the total triumph of the solar panels. China wants to fix it with “stickers”

by

Betting on the installation of solar panels is something that seems key in the Ride for decarbonization in which we are immersed. And the country that has proposed to dominate the production and sale Of these panels is China. Multitude of companies have risen to the ship of the production of photovoltaic panels, so much that a Price war that is not favoring To the industry itself. And in that wild competitiveness, betting on innovation is key. As a result, one of these companies has recently shown its new products. The objective: fill all the roofs of these flexible solar panels. The keys. That company is Polyshine Solar, a Shanghai -based company that has been focusing solar panels that can boast something very unique: being light. This is not easy, but at the opening of the World Smart Energy Week, held in Tokyo, the Chinese company has shown His new flexible panels. These panels stand out for three key features: their simple installation with an adhesive layer that allows a fast deployment, its flexibility to adapt to various surfaces and a weight 70% lower than conventional glass panels. Behind those happy lords are the panels “Paradigma change”. Although what attracts attention is the weight of the panel and a flexion radius that the company has affirmed that it is 0.5 meters, which define As a “paradigm change” in the energy transition is the ease of application of the panel. Thanks to this simplification of the installation by reducing the action to a process of “paste and generating electricity”, Polyshine Solar considers that it will be something that democratizes access to renewables. Characteristics. On the margin, these modules are available in several versions with powers that vary between 505 W and 535 W. The energy conversion efficiency is between 19 and 20.1% and the panels have dimensions of 2,246 x 1,185 x 2.5 mm and a weight of 7.5 kg. This combination of weight, flexibility and the ease of placing them, “eliminate installation barriers on curved surfaces or structures with low load capacity, without additional reconditioning costs,” Comment The company. Apart from the adhesive surface, you can also hang and hold with straps. Guarantees. Polyshine states that, after 25 years, their panels will maintain at least 84.8% of their output power. They have IP68 protection against water and dust thanks to an EVA encapsulated and can operate in a temperature range between -40 ° and 85 ° Celsius. For a few years, the company’s light panels have been placed In areas such as acoustic barriers for roads within cities, resisting vehicle vibrations. And challenges. Now, as well Comment The company, getting a reduction in weight is not easy and is something that is at odds with efficiency. Each 0.1% increase in lightness and flexibility represents a challenge because it is something that can affect energy production. To face this, these years have opted for highly transparent materials, and the fruits are modules that generate 2% more energy in the same conditions as similar products. They do not specify what these similar products are, but they do comment that, although 2% look little, when 1,000 m² of their panels are installed, there are additional 5,000 kWh per year. Beyond corporate discourse, this progress reflects a change of focus on industry: they not only seek Improve energy efficiencybut optimize weight and ease of installation for Accelerate the adoption of renewables.

The weekend returns. That time of relaxation, rest, to go out with the family … “in public transport” some will say. Because, indeed, if you are affected by today’s restrictions you will not circulate the most complicated things. This is due to the restrictions applied by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) through its Today does not circulatethe program designed to reduce the polluting emissions present in the atmosphere we breathe. How can this be? As simple as forcing some cars to stay at home. Because, indeed, where this is active, this is the most effective measure. Something that applies in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today To understand how and when it affects us today it does not circulate, it is enough to look in the superior image, where the restrictions that are launched daily are specified. And, as you will see, on Saturdays it is a special day. To start because the rest of the week, the hologram and the plate number define everything but on Saturdays some cars rotate and, therefore, the following situations can be given: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. Having these basic notions, who does not affect the Sabatino today? Actually, all drivers because, in one way or another, it is contemplated what they have to do on Saturdays if they are in one of the places affected by the program. Thus, the first thing we have to be clear about is that cars with hologram 0 and 00 can circulate without fear, these cars do not affect restrictions. On the contrary, it happens with those of Hologram 2, who cannot leave home or move in the hours when the today is applied. Those who can doubt are cars with hologram 1. In that case, it is the plate number that decides whether or not it can circulate. In this case, they are those of Hologram One and plaque finished in odd number those that stay at home. Because? Because today, March 1is the first Saturday of March. And, therefore, it is the cars with a plate finished in odd number that have to rest. Next week (second Saturday of the month) it will be the even numbers that will rest and, therefore, the rotation is ensured. Of course, we cannot forget that there are some exceptions that go beyond being able to circulate freely at night. Thus, the following cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.
