Cars

We thought that gasoline cars were much cleaner than diesel. We did not have the effect of the sun

by

For every 100 cars that are sold in Spain, just five are diesel. They are the latest data we have in Spain of registration, which reflects to what extent the diesel (despite having market niches in which It is still profitable) It has become an almost banished fuel in our country. And although it may be weird, it does not make 70% of the cars we bought were diesel moved. In fact, just over a decade ago. In 2014 the diesel lived his golden age. From its 70.06% market share It has plummeted. There are numerous factors that explain the rise and fall of diesel. For years, its price was so cheap (in fact it is still subsidized) than each buyer He poured liter calculations consumed For every 100 kilometers to know how long it would take to make investment profitable since they used to be more expensive motorizations. But over the years, emission regulations were drowning the diesel. Especially after the famous Dieselgate in which it was discovered that the Volkswagen Group (first defendant) and other companies trucan their emissions to offer data within the legality in the homologation exams to, outside them, contaminate more than allowed. With Euro 6, diesel were put much more complicated since 2015. For sample, the comparison between the demands made to diesel engines compared to gasoline and that You can read in this extensive article of Xataka in which all the normative change was explained: Limits for a gasoline engine CO (carbon monoxide): 1.0 g/km HC (total hydrocarbons): 0.10 g/km NOX (nitrogen oxides): 0.060 g/km HC + NOX (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides): 0.160 g/km (approx.) PM (suspended particles): 0.005 g/km P (number of particles): 6×10^11/km (6×10^12/km for three years for direct injection) Limits for a diesel engine CO (carbon monoxide): 0.50 g/km HC (total hydrocarbons): 0.09 g/km (approx.) NOX (nitrogen oxides): 0.080 g/km HC + Nox (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides): 0.170 g/km PM (suspended particles): 0.005 g/km P (number of particles): 6×10^11/km The problem is that, due to its own operation, A diesel is less pollutant in CO2 that a gasoline but expels many more particle emissions than They are very dangerous to the health of the human beinglike the Nitrogen oxides (NOX). Although the value was slightly higher for diesel, emission regulations were forcing manufacturers to squeeze the brain. With Euro 5 the particle filter. From Euro 6, the Adblue. These measures ended up banishing diesel engines of smaller cars. Well because they contaminated too much or because innovations to be installed in them It was more expensive both the product that did not make it viable. If we take into account the increase in the product, the bad reputation after the dieselgate and the innumerable statements On a rise in the price of fuel, now it is better understood The sudden drop in sales. All this explanation makes sense. Do you remember that Euro 5 forced to mount particle filters in diesel cars? And that with the Dieselgate the cars reflected some emission figures that were not real? A study now indicates something similar for gasoline cars. It is not that they are cheating, they point out that the emission regulations itself may not be enough to tell us how pollutants are our cars. A little effective particle filter In short, a particle filter is a kind of mesh that catches larger pollutant emissions before expelling them to the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe. Taking advantage of the heat of gases, the mesh takes temperature and burns the particles, reducing emissions. That is a problem in the cars that start and stop every time or those that do many kilometers by city because the engine does not give time to take the temperature enough to burn these particles and the filter ends up collapsing, causing a somewhat expensive breakdown. For some years, emission regulations have forced gasoline cars to also mont particle filters to get emissions not to exceed the allowed limits. However, as a gasoline engine works at a higher temperature, It is more complicated to fall into these types of situations. However, a study published in Science Advances He has pointed out a problem: they are not enough. The particle filter aims to reduce the Volume of fine particles that are expelled to the atmosphere, PM2.5. And they get it, according to researchers but that is not enough to ensure that their toxicity is lower. They point out in their study that it is not enough to measure emissions just after combustion, they should be studied how they behave once in the atmosphere. And how do they behave?: Bad. They point out that, once in the air, the experts expelled are exposed to sunlight and that they cause a series of transformations that make them remarkably more toxic to the human being. They explain in Phys.org that the modification of the particles caused damage to the human DNA and in cells that we find in our bronchi. It is what they call “photochemical aging” that causes particles to increase their toxicity generating “oxygenated volatile compounds, such as carbonilos.” In the article they point out that Dr. Mathilde Delaval, the first author of the study and researcher at Helmholtz Munich, says that “our study shows that we are missing a large part of the panorama by not considering How exhaust gases changeand become more harmful, after leaving the car. “ The study is partially financed by the European Union and in it they have intervened in one way or another universities and laboratories of Germany, Finland and Switzerland.

China is the country where more cars are sold. And that is why it is filling with “used cars” that nobody has led

by

The car market in China has exploded. Their companies register figures never seen, registration records work at full performance and their exports are marking records. There is only one problem: the figures are swollen. Record sales. In China, a total of 31.44 million cars. Of these, 12.89 million were represented by the “new energy” vehicles. That is, electric cars and plug -in hybrids. The growth of the latter was excessive (35.5% more than in 2023) but it is that the total figure also grew to add 4.5% more than the previous year. Is it a lot? A lot, no. Lot. To get an idea, usually In Spain Some more million vehicles for sale. During the crisis after 2008, sales fell until falling below 900,000 units, after a year in which 1.6 million cars were placed on the market. Since then, we have not exceeded 1.2 million vehicles bought. Compared to Europe, the figure collected by the continent pales. In our continent, 10.6 million cars were sold throughout 2024. That is, it is time to look at the world market. According to Acea74.6 million cars were sold last year. That is, more than 40% of the cars sold throughout the globe were recorded in China. To the world market! The figures are so impressive that, obviously, they put on the map the great Chinese manufacturers. At the moment, Toyota remains the great world manufacturer with 10.69 million cars registered in 2024, followed by Volkswagen in the distance, with 8.69 million vehicles. Hyundai and Kia, with 7.23 million cars in the streets, close the podium, according to Jato Dynamics data collected by Motor1.com. From here, we enter some figures that will leave us an interesting fight in 2025. Stellantis was the fourth world manufacturer, with 5.64 million units but between the fifth position of General Motors (4.69 million) and the seventh of ByD there are only 420,000 units. Geely also slipped among the 10 manufacturers that sold the most cars worldwide last year. And the trend is positive. So positive that of the 10 manufacturers that sold more cars in 2024, only three grew compared to the previous year. One is Ford but only sales increased by 1%. The others, of course, are the Chinese representatives. Geely improved his figures from the previous year by 20%. And Byd stretched up to a growth of 41%. The figure promises to be even higher in 2025, the year in which a Objective of 5.5 million cars. That would put her on the way to overcome Stellantis and place himself as The fifth or, in the best case, fourth producer World Cup. Tightening the accelerator. Byd is doing everything possible to get those figures to continue growing. To do this, his landing in Europe will continue. He Byd Dolphin Surf It is raised as a key vehicle to gain ground among low -price electric vehicles, its Byd Seal U DM-I (plug -in hybrid) is being a success and very soon will begin to produce in Hungary. For now, now has exceeded Tesla sales in Europe. And he is also doing it in China. Over there has launched an aggressive price war To continue keeping sales at high, put the rivals against the ropes and, above all, give out a stock of vehicles difficult to sell now that they promised that Your autonomous driving capabilities They would reach all their vehicles, regardless of the price. And all these cars? It is what the Chinese government seems to be saying to its manufacturers. Reuters It points exclusively that those responsible for the State have called a meeting to manufacturers. They are worried, according to the agency, what can happen if the number of automatures is faded. Thus, they have asked all companies responsibility but in Reuters They put the focus on Byd and Dongfeng Motors. Its dealers are selling as “used vehicles” cars that nobody has really used. Wei Jianjun, president of Great Wall Motor, assured in an interview with Sina Finance that there were between 3,000 and 4,000 dealers acting in this way. Km 0. That formula is what we know in Europe as “Kilometer cars 0”. They are cars that manufacturers enroll or force dealers to buy to keep the business with them. These cars count on records such as sales of new vehicles and, subsequently, in the sales count as used vehicles. The manufacturer can use this strategy for several reasons. The first is an answer to regulations. If activated, for example, the obligation to sell serial cars with A broad security equipment or one NEW EMISSION REGULATION And the company has them standing in a warehouse, it is better to enroll them and try to give them out as used vehicles. Another issue is that of dealers who may have minimal sales quotas against manufacturers. This leads to the obligation to get cars that has not managed to sell and give them out later. The advantage and disadvantage for the client is evident: a cheaper car but without the possibility of choosing anything of its equipment. A price war with direct consequences. Wei Jianjun, president of Great Wall Motors, came to ensure in the interview that the automobile sector was living His own “Evergrande”comparing the industry with the collapse that occurred in the real estate sector with the bankruptcy of this company. Without giving names, he said that some of China’s “main manufacturers” had rushed to improve their image and, with it, the market value. That same market value has fallen generalized since Byd opened a new price war with great discounts on more than 20 models offered. Investors fear that these discounts will destabilize an industry that is already especially competitive. Why is it a problem? But, above all, it is feared that the numbers are too swollen, that in the fever to grow as quickly as possible, they are playing in excess with automatrications and, therefore, a stock of vehicles is accumulated to which it is very difficult to give … Read more

Thousands of Byd cars have become obsolete for their own promises. Solution: lower prices

by

A drop of 8% of the shares. Although forceful, The fall in the actions of Byd It should not be too worrying for your shareholders if we take into account that it is close to its historical maximums but it is a symptom of the difficulties that the Chinese market of the car can pass in the coming months. Byd has taken all the spotlights for being The company that is leadingat this time, the sale of plug -in vehicles but in the fall of their shares, companies such as Li Auto, Geely or Great Wall Motors that have fallen more than 4%have also accompanied. The reason: the sales of byd. Now with a 35% discount The Chinese state needs its citizens to buy. It’s not something, much less new. In fact, in Xataka We already told you almost a decade that the country tries to underpin domestic trade, a way to support national growth and limit dependence on exports abroad. That need is now sharpened with the electric car. The country has done everything possible to lead the transition to this technology and adopt a leading role in an industry that until now had resisted. That has led to lifting an absolutely brutal internal competition that will inevitably leave some companies along the way. In fact, Some Chinese experts They point out that companies such as Nio, Xpeng or Li Auto, who are monopolizing spotlights for their performance in the electric car or automated driving capabilities, run an important risk of going bankrupt. Any of them, as I had a long time ago Reuters He is losing thousands of dollars with each car sold. Therefore, an open pricing war would put them against the strings. A price war that in Byd is willing to play. At least to remove a stock they need to give out. And like the State, the plug -in company bigger in China You need the local market to continue working in full performance. In the middle of its expansion to third markets, the company has to continue leading local commerce but has pierced itself. In February the company launched the message that all its electric cars and plug -in hybrids They will ride, in the future, their “eye of God”the most advanced driving aid system they have in the market. The promise caught the industry by surprise and was a direct blow to brands like Tesla, who hope to take performance to their software. Byd, on the contrary, chooses to mount this standard in all its cars because, it is intuited, The income path expects it to be another. Then, some analysts understood that China’s price war that two years ago caused an earthquake in the industry had returned. However, it has been now when Byd has taken the next step after a few months of relative calm: discounts of up to 34% in their cars. Specifically has been the Byd Sealin plug -in hybrid format, which has received this juicy discount. But it is not the only car that can be bought at a much lower price. They point out in Bloomberg that up to 22 different models have received important discounts. He Byd Seagullthe cheapest electric car on the market and one of the best selling in China, can be found for 20% less and that already sold below 10,000 dollars in the local market. The movement, they say from the economic environment, aims to revive sales in a market in deceleration but, above all, take stock from above. Since it was announced that the new automated driving system would reach any new car launch, vehicles in the dealers have become obsolete and it is difficult to give them exit. In fact, also since Bloomberg They pointed out that even byd’s dealers in China are going through difficulties. Some of them have had to close and Data from the Chinese passenger car association They say that there are 3.5 million cars to sell and that the inventory average is 57 days per car sold, the highest figure since December 2023. Although discounts have been active since April and, in fact, They have been noticed this May It is now when the company has announced A new wave of discounts. That need to get its cars to the street is the same as Tesla had to get the market Tesla Model and Prejuniper And it is one of the most common problems facing cars companies when they have to announce new models. However, competition is so fierce and The industry advances so fast in China That an ad like the February can leave thousands and thousands of cars in a limbo waiting for a buyer. But, above all, it puts the rest of the industry that sees as Byd can continue to press its prices, even if only to take obsolete vehicles from above, while the rest of the companies seek a profitability that continues to resist.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on May 24

by

As every Saturday, the Sabatino does not circulate today. That day where each day’s own restrictions are complicated because they are not always the same for the same people. Small changes that can make us doubt and fall into some economic sanction. But what are we talking about? Indeed, today’s restrictions that have not been devised by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) to try to reduce the pollutants of the air we breathe. The only solution for that is evident: to be very clear what the restrictions are. You know, how they affect, when they apply, what is the fine … restrictions that, obviously, only apply in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbed 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 So what are the restrictions we find? Well, not all affected cars can circulate. That is why it is especially important to take into account what is specifically in today. The general restrictions, as you can see above, are simple and apply with some ease taking into account the hologram and plate number. Those of Hologogram 1 and 2, as you can see, always have to rest someday. But what happens on Saturdays? That is not so simple. In fact, the following scenarios can be given: And this day the following conditions occur: 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. So, how do we know who they have to face the Sabatino does not circulate today? Well, having very clear what our hologram, first, and the plate number later. To start, if your hologram is 2, you will not be able to circulate any Saturday of the month. There is not much to think, on Saturdays the car has to stay yes or yes at home. On the contrary, those of Hologram 0 and 00 have any problem: every Saturday they can leave without any restrictions. It is those of Hologram 1 the ones that have to think most. These cars, every week rotate in restrictions and, therefore, one week stay at home and the next can move with total peace of mind. This week of the Saturday, May 24, 2025 We are on the fourth Saturday of the month of May. The cars with hologram 1 and plate finished in torque, therefore, are the ones that rest. Next week the cars with Hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number will have to leave the car at home because we will be before the fifth Saturday of May. However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those 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.

China is drowning rare earth supply and in six weeks there will be a victim: European electric cars

by

China has completely stopped The export of rare criticisms. In fact, during the last year and a half this Asian country has used its dominance over rare earths as A pressure tool on your rivals. On December 21, 2023, the administration led by Xi Jinping decided to restrict the export of some of its rare earth processing technologies, and this was only the tip of the iceberg. The last kick linked to these important metals was given by China to the US on April 4. Just 24 hours after Donald Trump announced the taxes that he was going to apply to the importation of most products from abroad, the administration led by Xi Jinping replied. And he did it with forcefulness. In early December 2024 He chose to prohibit The export of some critical minerals to the US, among which were three essential metals: gallium, Germanio and antimony. The European electric car can suffer if China continues with the hand brake This story does not end here. At the beginning of last April the Chinese government added two more critical metals to its list of export restrictions: Scandio and Disposio. These chemical elements are probably less known than metals prohibited by China previously, such as Gallium or Germanio, but are at least as important as the latter because they have a fundamental role in the industries of integrated circuits, telecommunications and the manufacture of storage devices. And just two weeks later, in mid -April, the administration led by Xi Jinping did not hesitate to take another step forward with the purpose of putting in check, in addition to the industries that I just mentioned, those of electric cars, aeronautics and advanced armament. And is that, according to The New York Times, has effectively suspendedin addition to the export of the most valuable rare earths, that of the elements involved in the manufacture of high -power magnets that have a critical role in the industries that I have cited in this same paragraph. Chinese authorities are taking the high -power magnets acquired by electric cars manufacturers throughout the country Chinese authorities are retaining in ports throughout the country not only rare earths, but also high -power magnets acquired by electric cars manufacturers throughout the planet, aerospace companies, chip factories and armament companies. Many of these organizations have high -power magnet reserves made with rare earths, but possibly only allow them to subsist a few months. For many years China has produced More than 90% of rare earths. Australia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Canada, Brazil, Tanzania or the US, among other countries, also produce these metals, but the largest deposits located so far of these elements reside in China. And, curiously, the country led by Xi Jinping too The processing industry dominates to which it is necessary to submit rare earth so that they can be used. So much so that its quota if we stick to the global processing industry amounts to 90%. China’s export controls are directed mainly to the US, but Europe is not unscathed. At least for the moment. In fact, in Germany, which as we all know is the heart of the European car industry, There are already experts who assure that if China continues to retain rare earths and electric motors some essential parts of the electric cars production chain They will stop in no more than six weeks. For the European car industry this blow would be very difficult to fit. However, while still having some reservations Europe has the opportunity to negotiate with China to avoid this very difficult situation. Everything is not lost yet.

Manufacturers have drunk attendee cars for our safety. We do not use them and (worse) we don’t understand them either

by

“We know that many people deactivate the lane maintenance assistant. Why should we sell it?” With these words, Denis Le Vot, CEO of Dacia, attacked the European Union and his commitment to adas systems for driving in 2022. What defended the head of the company is that most users They deactivate these aid Security and that, therefore, I did not understand why manufacturers were forced to include them in their cars. Years later, it seems that time is giving the reason to vote. They are neither appreciated nor used Since 2022, All cars approved in Europe They are obliged to set up a series of ADAS aids to driving, including emergency braking, lane output alert or controversial speeding warning that works hand in hand with signal recognition. These aid are, since 2024, mandatory series in every new car sold in Europe. That is, regardless of when any new car that has been bought or is about to be bought has been approved for a year. This, without a doubt, is one of the reasons that cars have increased. Therefore, we must understand that the CEO of Dacia had reasons to attack the European Union. For a brand that has always fought for price, including more starting equipment makes it difficult to. It is, of course, part interested in the debate. However, the data seems to give the vote right. At least that is what those who take the temperature of the conductors say. In JD Power they assured A few months ago that one in four buyers From a car in the United States he had reported a problem with ADAS systems in the first 90 days after buying the car. These problems do not refer exclusively to faults or system failures, they also refer to the inconveniences that users have found because they do not understand the systems or are not very clear how they can deactivate or configure them. Frictions have also increased, according to the study. In the last five years, the technology of the manufacturers in this area has been fired (much guilt has the security regulations), which has made more and more people who choose to deactivate these alerts. “They are too annoying and intrusive,” They point out from JDPOWER. The solution, they say, should go through more detailed explanations by the dealers to explain how these systems work and how they can take advantage of. In part, what happens in Europe is moving to other regions of the world. In the United Kingdom, the ADAS systems that are in the European Union are not mandatory but companies include them by cost savings. However, the data says that Most of them deactivate aid and that the ISA speeding system is the most affected. In a 2020 survey conducted by Erie Insuranceit was stressed that the second help system that was most deactivated after the alert for speed was the maintenance of lane. However, The European Commission points that between the lane output notice can reduce accidents between 10 and 21% and that lane maintenance can reduce the severity of the wounds suffered in an accident by up to 30% of the cases. There is, therefore, a disconnection between regulators and users. Keep in mind that not only the European Union demands these security measures. Euro NCAP, in their studies, punishes the companies that do not offer passive security systems that expand mandatory serial coverage. Euro NCAP is an independent study and cars that are homologated and sold in Europe They are not obliged to undergo their evidence. However, they have achieved quality status for the public that is rare who does not appear to them. This costs Dacia to receive a score of only three stars even though they are regular. It is not the shock tests that they have their safety levels in case of accidentthey penalize very basic adas systems equipment that is barely Leave Dacia Duster in an approved justito. And what happens in Spain? That we feel the same as Americans and British, according to A study of Fesvial entitled “Knowledge of the ADAS systems by the Spanish population” that was published in 2022. It indicated that “70% are not clear that the ADAS are intelligent enough to guarantee the safety of the person who conducts” and “30% are not convinced that the ADAS contribute to reduce collisions or their severity.” Data that exemplify the aforementioned gap between regulators and users.

A man wanted to put order in the fish of the fish market. His invention financed one of the largest cars collections in Europe

by

In everyday life, there are inventions as simple as it is essential that, however, they often go unnoticed. One of them is the “shift” ticket dispenser that we find in fishing, butchers and supermarkets, and that has ended the discussions in Waiting tails. Behind this invention is Rodger Dudding, a British who with his business vision kneaded a great fortune that allowed him to fulfill his great dream: to gather one of the Collections of more impressive cars from the United Kingdom and Europe. As They counted in Motorpasionthanks to his ingenuity, today we not only enjoy more orderly linesbut we can also contemplate one of the largest private collections of classic cars in Europe with More than 450 cars ranging from Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin or the Ford T, to such humble models as the Fiat Topolino. Rodger Dudding and the invention that changed the queues Rodger Dudding was born in the United Kingdom and is a training engineer. At 87, he is responsible for the distribution in the United Kingdom of one of the most used inventions in businesses around the world: the queue management system based on a Shift ticket dispenser. In 1970, Dudding He founded Lonsoa company that is still active, and began to manufacture the ticket dispensers that have avoided more fights and confusion when waiting for the turn and supermarkets. The classic red dispenser quickly became a standard, facilitating life to both customers and merchants. Even today, a significant percentage of Dudding’s benefits comes from the commercialization of this system, which remains essential in businesses of all kinds. Passion for cars With the money obtained from ordering the tails of the shops, Rodger Dudding decided to invest in his great passion: classic cars. Although, the millionaire collector has preference for British models, in An interview For the channel Bellow the Radar Carshe confessed that he had not been able to resist to the Ferrari or any beautiful car that was shot. Dudding said that, at first, not his intention to start a collection as such, but was limited to going buying the cars they liked. One day, his wife got fed up with his garage full of old cars, so Dudding acquired An old tram garage To save your cars. Almost without realizing it, the garage with capacity for about 120 cars He was smallgiving rise to the current collection that already It occupies three stores. The Dudding collection, known as Studio 434includes models of all times and styles: from 1911 models, such as Ford T, through racing cars prior to World War II or exclusive Limited luxury editions. The collector millionaire confesses that, beyond the Ferrari, Rolls-Royce or Aston Martin that form his collection, there is only one car through which life would be played to rescue him from a fire: a Morris Minor that his father bought again in 1952 and that his sister inherited. He bought a more current car equivalent and incorporated his father’s car to his collection. According to estimated Dudding, the collection is valued in More than 40 million pounds sterling (which are about 47.7 million euros) and includes, in addition to cars of all kinds, motorcycles and objects related to the motor world. His fetish: Aston Martin Lagonda Despite the diverse of the Studio 434 collection, there is a model for which Dudding feels a special predilection: Aston Martin Lagonda. The millionaire has no less than 24 units of different versions, including the first and last one that were manufactured. The Dudding collection had 26 lagonda in its catalog, but, as confessed in its interview with Bellow the Radar Carsthey made a purchase offer for them that he could not reject and were to be part of other collections, so he dispensed with two of them. One of the most striking aspects of Rodger Dudding’s collection is that All vehicles are in perfect condition of operation. The collection has a motor engineer who works full -time by cyclionally reviewing each and every one of the cars and has them A day in maintenance. In addition, provided that the British climate allows it, the revised vehicles go around the storage apple so that the suspensions and mechanical elements They move. Studio 434, the company that manages the collection, is responsible for renting some of these Classic cars for eventsweddings, movies and television series, thus contributing to the conservation of the collection that has become a reference for motor lovers. Some of the cars in this collection have participated in series such as The Crown or in the saga of Harry Potter.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on May 17

by

Saturday. We already know what that means. Rest day … And today does not circulate sabbatino. Because if Saturday comes, some cars already know that they have to stay at home. It is not that I say it, says the program devised by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema). The same that aims to improve the quality of the air we breathe but that, yes, forces some cars not to leave home. To be clear who cannot circulate during the Today does not circulate Sabatino and avoid possible fines … You have to be very clear about some peculiarities of this day. To do this, we will review the possible exceptions and everything to take into account. But first, remember that everything we are going to talk about from now on only applies in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbed 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 Once we have all this clear and all these clear things … What restrictions will we find? Simply that affected cars cannot circulate. So simple, if you are contemplated in the program of today does not circulate Sabatino is that you will not be able to move. These restrictions are specified in the upper image. And it is that today’s restrictions do not circulate do not always apply depending on the exclusive function of the hologram. Some days like Saturday you also have to pay close attention to the plate number. This means that LSO Saturdays you can take the following scenarios: And this day the following conditions occur: 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. Once we have all this clear, how do we know that today does not circulate sabbatino this week forces us to leave the car at home or, on the contrary, let us circulate? Simple, looking at the hologram first and then the plate number. If your hologram carries the number 2 you will not be able to circulate. It doesn’t matter on Saturday, cars with hologram 2 cannot circulate any Saturday. On the contrary, those with hologram 0 and 00 can circulate every Saturday. These drivers do not have to think but because of very different circumstances. It is those of Hologogram 1 that have to take some things into account. Depending on the plate number they can circulate one or the other and, as is broken every week, next week you will be on the other side of the currency. This week of the Saturday, May 17, 2025 We are on the third Saturday of May. Therefore, it is the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in even number that rest. Next week the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in torque will have to leave the car at home. However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those 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.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on May 10

by

The weekend arrives. And with the weekend on Saturday. And with Saturday the Sabatino does not circulate today. Because, indeed, one more week we have active today does not circulate of the most special day of the week, the day on which restrictions are more problematic. In this article we will try to describe the restrictions that you will find with the program devised by the Ministry of Environment of the CDMX (Sedema) with which we try to improve the quality of the air we breathe. A quality that suffers with the advance of cars. Therefore, what are clear with the application of this Today does not circulate It is that some cars have to stay at home for the good of all. What are those cars? Those who decide the restrictions and are specified below. But first, remember that everything we are going to talk about from now on only applies in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbed 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 Having these simple clear bases: what restrictions are we found? Well, simply, that some cars cannot circulate. What are they? It depends on each week, as you are going to check in the next lines. Because as you can see in the image superior, every day the restrictions of today do not circulate are applied depending on the hologram and, in some cases, of the latest plaque. That is what must be taken into account for Saturdays. And this day the following conditions occur: 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. With these clear basic notes, how do we know if in today’s wise we do not circulate at home or we can circulate without problem? Very simple: looking at the first hologram and the plate number later … if it touches us. To begin with, cars with hologram 2 rest every Saturday, there is not one that can move. On the contrary, those of Hologram 0 and 00 can circulate whenever they want because cars are considered less pollutants. So, it is those of hologram 1 that have to pay more attention. It is exactly these cars that rotate week by week and, therefore, do not always have to stay at home and cannot always circulate. It will depend on the latest issue of its plaque. The week of the Saturday, May 10, 2025 The cars with Hologram 2 and those of Hologram 1 will have to rest with a plaque finished in even number since we are in the second week of May. Next Saturday, being the third week of May will be the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number those that rest. However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those 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.

Tesla’s megabers feed the AI ​​that will define their next cars

by

Elon Musk’s ecosystem begins to exhibit an integration where each company enhances the rest, creating a virtuous circle that triggers several industries at the same time. Tesla’s megabaterías Now feed The superordination Colossus XAI in Memphis, with 150 megawatts. Initially it worked with gas turbines (With much controversy and without permits), But the use of megapacks points to a transition to a more sustainable model. It is more than a synergy: Tesla provides sustainable energy that allows Xai to develop AI … which will then be integrated into Tesla vehicles. The circle closes. In figures. Financial and technical connections between Musk companies make it clear that this is not a coincidence but strategy, with investments that unite the destinations of these companies. XAI invested 230 million dollars in Tesla Megapacks between January 2024 and February 2025. Colossus has 200,000 gpus NVIDIA H100with plans to reach a million. Completed phase two at the end of 2025, the system will consume 300 MW, sufficient for 300,000 homes. Turning point. The Energy Division of Tesla has gone from being a secondary business to a key piece in Musk’s strategy to master several industries. Tesla Energy declared an interannual 156% increase in the first quarter of 2025, displaying 10.4 GWh of storage. Just at the time the need to have energy support for critical infrastructure, such as data centers for AI grows. Between the lines. There were critical voices that They questioned the use of gas turbines in Colossusbut the progressive introduction of Megapacks is a strategy oriented to energy self -sufficiency and a lower dependence on fossil fuels. The Tesla-XAI connection allows Musk to reduce external units and save a lot of money in certain components. As with The dojo chips and the 4680 batteriesthe goal is to control the entire supply chain. This integration gives technological independence, but it is also a competitive advantage over rivals that depend on external suppliers. And now what. The next logical step is to integrate the capabilities of Xai directly into Tesla products, closing the circle definitely. And the Dojo chips could face mass production at the end of the year to reduce NVIDIA dependence. The predictable result: smarter tesla cars, developed with the same AI systems that feed on Tesla batteries. Possibly that scenario would be the greatest vertical technological integration seen so far. In Xataka | Some researchers have disassembled the batteries of Tesla and Byd. You know which one yields better and is much cheaper Outstanding image | Tesla
