Change

China has been cutting its technology for years. Xi Jiping has just opened the door for that to change

by

Jack Ma, “The Jeff Bezos de China”, It seemed to go directly to stardom. And what happened is that he crashed when he tried to launch Ant Financial Its alleged Fintech of 150,000 million dollars. Or rather, Xi Jinping, the Chinese president who made clear Who was commanded. Ma finished practically missing in actionbut now it has just appeared in an event with Jinping and other great executives of Chinese technology companies. That this happens is as surprising as it is interesting. XI Jinping Meeting with Technological Capos “in China. As they point out In Bloombergthe Chinese president presided on Monday a meeting in which several entrepreneurs and managers of large Chinese technology companies participated. Among them, of course, the presence of Jack Ma, co -founder of Alibaba – and who left the position of CEO in 2019 – that for the first time in years went to an event of this caliber. The major flat. The event was also attended among Ren Zhengfei (Founder and CEO of Huawei), Wang Chuanfu (Founder and CEO of Byd), Pony Ma (CEO of Tencent), Lei Jun (co -founder and CEO of Xiaomi), Wang Xing (CoFundador and CEO from Meituan) or Wang Xingxing (CEO of Unitree Robotics). Apparently nor Robin Li (CEO of Baidu) Ni Yiming Zhang (CEO of Bytedance) went to that event. During the event, they point out in The New York Times, XI asked these entrepreneurs to have the “ambition to serve the country.” And also the richest. The 2024 Forbes list With the richest people in China, it demonstrates that the technological and automobile sector is especially notable in terms of presence. Thus, if we search that list to the personalities of the technological segment in China we see many examples (with its position in that list in parentheses): Pony Ma (Aliaba) (2) Zhang Yiming (bytedance) (3) Colin Huang (Temu/Shein) (4) Robin Zeng (catl) (5) William ding (netease) (7) Jack Ma (ex-alibaba) (8) Wang Chuanfu (Byd) (9) Lei Jun (Xiaomi) (10) Those fortunes, of course, are far from the great fortunes that dominate the Forbes list globally. Thus, Pony Ma, the second greatest fortune in China, is the fortune 57 of the world. Lei Jun, in the 10th position of ranking in China, is 195 in the global ranking. More love for private companies. The meeting seems to point to a possible change in attitude on the part of the Chinese government, which in recent years has left the great Chinese technology act, but always making it clear who sent. AI can have a lot to do. The moment in which the meeting occurs coincides with the rapid development of AI models created by startups and Chinese companies. The actions of these companies have shown the renewed interest in the great Chinese technology: Tencent, who has just offered Deepseek R1 in Wechat, He marked The price record in the Chinese stock market in the last four years. China became hard with its technology. Ma ended up scalding after the terrible episode lived with Ant Group Co., and other executives seemed to learn the lesson. The government campaign launched at that time was responsible for reinforcing state control over the economy and stopping Chinese billionaires. The objective: to reorient resources towards the priorities of XI, such as national security and technological self -sufficiency. Closer to Xi Jinping’s policies. Since then Chinese technology companies have been much more aligned with the philosophy of Chinese president. Thus, the AI ​​models developed by some of these companies must first receive the approval of the government to be able to deploy and use in the country. More tolerance for private. In recent times Beijing has been softening its restrictive policies against Chinese private companies: Qwen, Alibaba’s model, is demonstrating the increasing relevance of the company in this field, but even Apple is managing to include its Apple Intelligence platform On the iPhone in China thanks to their agreements precisely with Alibaba. Chinese Millanoriocracy. In the US we are seeing how the great technological fortunes are aligned with Trump and yield to their policies or even drive them, as is the case of Elon Musk, the richest man in the world today. Chinese magnates have been aligned with Xi Jinping even longer. The influence of the Chinese government on the march of the country’s companies is even clearer and the AI ​​rise is probably the engine of this “repositioning.” His strategic value is evident, and the Chinese president now seems to want to give more margin of maneuver to private companies that are allowing him to compete in better conditions with his great rival, United States.

A new generation promises to change the rules of the game

by

China’s military modernization goes beyond Hightens or the New fighters. Yes, these are elements of superiority on the battlefield, also of deterrence and the country is investing a lot in modernizing and expanding its fleet, but something that they are also putting efforts is in the renewal of their submarines with nuclear capacity. After a not very successful type 094, China is finalizing the Type 096 nuclear submarine. And, of course, they have the attention of their main rivals in a scenario reminiscent of the Cold War. Reinforcing maritime presence. The modernization of the main military arms has become one of the main strategies of the Government of Xi Jinping. We are seeing advances in all areas, with examples such as New Earth’s Armament, PAIR DEVELOPMENTthe aforementioned aircraft carrier with The Electromagnetic Fujian at the head, Heavy helicopters, fighters and even Space armament. The leg that could be more lame in the Chinese Navy is that of the submarines of ballistic missiles, or SSBN for its acronym in English. Not only had few, but their designs and functioning had nothing to do with that of the most advanced powers in this context. Sample of this is type 094 of the beginning of the century. Type 094. Seeking to close the gap with the United States and maintain a persuasive presence in the South China Sea, the country launched type 094. It is a submarine with a load capacity of nuclear propulsion ballistic missiles and was the successor of the type 092 of the mid -1980s. It is estimated that there are six active units of this submarine, but it is a ship with lights and shadows. While their nuclear eyelets can reach the American coast from the South China Sea, the main objective of these submarines is deterrent and furtive presence (avoiding the detection of radars and enemy systems). The problem is that it is as noisy as the Soviet and American submarines of the 1970s. For a “new” submarine, it was an obvious skinny point because it made it very visible to the anti -submarine technologiesfrom the United States and its allies. And type 096. The reason for this noise is that its propulsion system is outdated (inspired by Soviet technology of the Cold War) and the design of the helmet, the propellers and the isolation system make it totally ineffective in furtive missions. China has launched more silent variants, such as type 094a, but they are still too loud. An easy target in the current anti -submarine war, goes. That’s where Type 096 enters the scene. There are six other submarines of this class with twice tons in tons and twice the capacity for ballistic missiles, but more than for its improvements for combat, what China is looking for is that it solves the predecessor problem. Thus, type 096 hopes to be as stealthy as more modern Russian submarines. It will also be loaded with improvements in the detection of rival submarines. Challenges. Part of the design efforts have been destined to cushion the noise of the engines, as indicated in SCMP. It is speculated that, similar to the new Russian submarines, the engines are mounted on huge rubber supports that help overshadow the sound. And it is also estimated that it will be ready by the end of this decade. Now, although they have Russia and the portfolio in their favor, experience is a degree and, precisely, is what China is missing in SSBN. Russia and the United States have decades of experience in this area and we will have to see when type 096 enters into play if China has achieved that leap that seeks in nuclear submarine design. Attracting looks. In ReutersNaval Technical Intelligence authorities and analysts estimate that “type 096 will be a nightmare.” The reason is that, according to them, “they will be very, very difficult to detect.” It is also said that Russia has shared part of its technology with China to improve that sound efficiency in its new submarine and that, although they do not think that Russia has shared its ‘crown jewels’ with China (because they would lose competitive advantage in case Something twists in the relationship), they are collaborating closely. In the United States analyst documents, it is speculated with the implications that such a weapon will have for the United States and its Indo-Pacific allies, since the presence of a vehicle like type 096 would have “deep” implications in a area of ​​special interest At present for numerous countries. Sample is the incident in June 2023, when a type 094 emerged in the Taiwan Strait, visualizing the constant tensionthat is lived in the area.

A new material with the help of Ruthenium wants to change the rules of green hydrogen

by

Renewables have postulated as the Future of Energyboth particular and in entire countries. They are also the present, with examples such as Sorpasso in countries like Spain and others like Uruguay pulling practically only renewables for months. Within those renewables, the development of methods to produce green hydrogen more efficiently is key. And a team of South Korean researchers They believe Having found the key to approaching that new era of green hydrogen: a new material that promises to revolutionize energy production. Colors. Hydrogen is extremely abundant in the universe, but it has a problem: finding it without being combined with other elements is very difficult. It is an element that has a great ease to combine and, to use it as a source of energy, it is necessary to separate it from those other elements. There are several ways to do itbut if we use renewables as an energy source, we can achieve what is known as ‘green hydrogen’. Catalysts. By means of the electrolysis technique, water hydrogen is separated. For hydrogen to be “green” it is necessary that, in that process, we use solar, wind or hydroelectric energy as a source of energy. Also an element that works as a catalyst, elements that accelerate the necessary chemical reactions to separate the hydrogen from the element to which it is linked. The better the catalyst, the faster the reaction occurs, making the process more efficient in time and resources. The problem is that they are usually expensive due to the presence of precious metals, which makes them little accessible and also have a high environmental impact because these metals are extracted from mining, some as part of Rare earth. No precious metals. That is why there are researchers experiencing with catalysts based on transition metals, non -metallic materials (such as graphene) and others that combine elements such as ruthenium, silicon and tungsten. Precisely, Ruthenium is the main ingredient of the new catalyst they are developing in the Group of Metrology of Emerging Materials of the Institute for Research and Science Science of Korea (or Kriss). The team had a catalyst with a molybdenum dioxide structure with nickel-molybdenum . They were clear that they had to investigate the Moo₂-Ni₄mo route as a catalyst, but not in their current state. Example of the electrolysis process to separate oxygen hydrogen Ruthenium shield. That’s when they decided to take the eye on Ruthenium. They introduced a small amount of this element into the structure of Moo₂-Ni₄mo and realized that, with river nanpoarticles of a size below the three nanometers, a thin layer was formed on the surface of the catalysts. Impact. This works as a shield that prevents degradation, improving durability. How much? According to its evaluations, the new catalyst presents a durability four times greater and is capable of lasting six times more in activity if compared to other existing commercial materials. All this without using rare or precious metals in the process. In addition, they combined the new catalyst with a photovoltaic system that uses Sovskita-Silicio solar cellsachieving conversion efficiency of 22.8% of solar to hydrogen. It is a promising result because it shows that this new catalyst is not only resistant and accessible, but efficient. Pocket. The problem of green hydrogen is that, although it is a fundamental element in our Way to Discarbonizationhis first appraisal has not been too encouraging. In December last year the first Iberian index of the price of renewable hydrogen was launched. Baptized as mibgas, The starting price was € 148.36/MWh. To compare, that of natural gas was about € 45.83/MWh. It was not something encouraging, but something completely normal due to the current production cost of hydrogen. Not only to talk about the infrastructure (with the entire system not only of electrolysis, but also of solar panels to feed the process), as well as the cost of the catalysts. That is why, cheaper catalysts that maintain high efficiency pave the way to the extraction of green hydrogen at a more restrained price. Looking at the sea. From the KRISS they are confident with their achievements because that new catalyst has not only marked with a green point the sections of price, efficiency and durability, but is exceeding expectations. Sun Hwa Park is the team’s principal researcher and has commented that these catalysts are also demonstrating high stability in saline water. “Currently, green hydrogen production requires purified water, but the use of real seawater could substantially reduce the costs associated with desalination. We plan to continue our research in this area. ” It will be the next challenge of a team that is not alone in this, since there are other teams and universities that have been proposed Exactly the same: use new transition compounds and metals to reduce precious metal dependence on catalysts. Now, everything indicates that it is something that will take time to establish and, without going any further, there we have the price of solar energy and how much it has dropped When technology has been popular.

Apple’s folding sounds more and more strength. It is a golden opportunity to change the smartphones market

by

We have been with the cantinela for years that “next year, Apple will present its folding smartphone.” And no, there is not always water in the river When it sounds. However, this start of 2025 starts with increasingly solid tracks About this project. The last They are related to Chinese manufacturer Lens Technology, who will supposedly manufacture the ultrafine glass that will supply 70% of Apple’s orders. Some of the company’s plans are also detailed to improve existing products. The problem? We have been with folding phones on the table for years, and they still do not be mature. Apple’s plan. Rumors are increasingly lighter, and everything indicates that in the first half of 2026 the company will make its folding iPhone known to the world. Apple would like to lose the closest part of the hinge, to achieve a greater thickness in the ultra -laced glass sheet and improve the durability of the product. Lens Technology would be the main glass manufacturer, with Samsung Display as a screen supplier itself. Technology to create a product that aspires to be the maximum reference in its territory. A little mature market. Foldables still do not democratize today. The price might seem the main reason, but we are strict, a Galaxy Z Flip6 it costs practically the same as a Galaxy S25+ And less than a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The problem of folding, despite the fact that manufacturers promise thousands of folds, is that they continue to throw durability doubts. A quick walk by Reddit shows Samsung mobile problems, Huawei either Xiaomi. In fact, in my own particular case I have suffered the wear and tear of the occasional folding … in just one week of use. A Chinese crown. If they ask you who is the king of folding phones, Samsung may come to mind, but it is not. Huawei It is, by far, the most folding company sells worldwide, well above Samsung, Honor and Motorola. The success of its folding range in China will not be easy to replicate for Apple, who may seek to settle in Europe as the main reference and popularize this telephone concept. Despite these figures, the folding market is still a minority. The question is whether Apple’s proposal will continue to be a niche product or if it will make the turns change.

This is the official price of the first mobiles that change color with the cold

by

At the end of last year Realme announced the real series 14 proa family composed of two terminals: the Realme 14 Pro and his older brother, the Realme 14 pro+. After being released in China, the company has just confirmed that the two smartphones They will be launched in Spain And, incidentally, he has revealed his official prices. These two devices are framed within the mid -range and stand out for the peculiar finish of the rear. Because? Because they are the first phones in the world that change color with the cold. Made the presentations, we will review the rest of the technical file and to know the official prices and availability.

One of the most striking features of the Realme 14 pro is that its rear changes color. The company has implemented a design called “Unique Pearl” that makes the rear have a texture “similar to that of a marine shell” (in principle, there are no two equal mobiles) that changes color with the cold. Thanks some Thermochromic pigmentsthe terminal changes from pearl to blue when the temperature drops from 16ºC. When the temperature rises, the color is white again. On the left the Realme 14 pro and the right model Pro+ | Image: Realme edited by Xataka This is one of the great claims, but we will have to wait to have it in hand to see how it works. For the rest, both models are quite similar: similar size, somewhat higher weight in the Pro+ model and a generous camera module in the upper area that houses two or three lenses, as we look at one model or another. On the screen the thing is not very different. Both ride Curvos OLED panels of 6.77 inches and 120 Hz of refresh rate, but curiously, it is the standard model that has levels of higher brightness: 800 nits in the Pro vs. 600 nits in Pro+. The same with the local peak brightness, whose difference is abysmal: 4,500 nits in the Pro vs. 1,500 nits in Pro+. In resolution, however, the older brother wins by scratching a good handful of pixels in both directions. Two engines, two brands Realme 14 Pro | Image: Realme There are significant differences in the engine, since the company has opted for MediaTk for the most “basic” model and by Qualcomm for the most complete model. Thus, Realme 14 pro rides a MEDATEK DIMENSITY 7300while the Realme 14 pro+ incorporates a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 of Qualcomm. Differences in performance should not be very pronouncedbut it is likely that the Qualcomm model will exceed Benchmarks to Mediatek. However, the experience should really be couple especially because, otherwise, they are exactly the same. Both terminals incorporate up to 12 GB of RAM, up to medium Tera internal storage and the ability to expand RAM in a virtual way. The battery is the same in both models, 6,000 mAh, but the fast charge is much more powerful in the pro+. There are also no important differences in connectivity, beyond the pro+ model only admits Bluetooth 5.2. What should be highlighted is that neither of the two mobiles has NFC, so it will not be possible to pay with the mobile. What both models have is all kinds of AI functions, both edition and productivity. Clear differences in the camera Cameras del Realme 14 Pro+ | Image: Realme We pass to the part of the camera, which is where the crumb is and the big difference between both terminals. The Realme 14 Pro rides a really basic set consisting of a Sony IMX882 sensor of 50 megapixels and a monochrome sensor. That’s all. Neither wide angle nor telephoto, just a useful sensor and another support for light measurements. The older brother, meanwhile, has that same sensor under a Periscopic lens with optical zoom of three increases and up to 120 digital increases. The thing is that it is accompanied by a Sony IMX896 main sensor of 50 megapixels and a wide angle of eight megapixels. It is clearly a much more powerful camera. The Realme 14 pro+ rides a lot of cameras much more complete The same goes for the SEFIES. The Realme 14 Pro has a 16 megapixel sensor, while the Realme 14 pro+ folds the resolution and … Read more

Starliner astronauts will return home 287 days later. Another ship change has forced to modify the plans

by

NASA has decided to advance the return of the CREW-9 mission and, with it, that of the Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams astronauts, who left for the International Space Station on June 5, 2024 in the Boeing Starliner ship. Despite Elon Musk and Donald Trump messagesreason is not political, but operational. A few days of advance. If new delays on their trip, Butch and Suni will not return will return home on March 19. Taking into account that they were launched to space for a week, it is nine months after planned. But if we stick to The last date that NASA managedastronauts will return with a few days of advance. Context. In June 2024, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams left towards the ISS aboard the Starliner space capsule, Boeing’s alternative to the Crew Dragon ship of Spacex. It was the first manned trip of the Boeing spacecraft, and it was assumed that the last certification test before starting to transport astronauts regularly to the International Space Station. However, shortly after its launch, The Starliner experienced serious problems in its propulsion systemwhich forced to suspend his return. The situation lasted several months until NASA decided that the ship returned empty. This accident left astronauts at the space station and forced NASA to find a different solution for its return. What they are waiting for. Once the destiny of the Starliner, Wilmore and Williams decided, they became part of the permanent crew of the ISS. They work in the experiments in orbit and the maintenance of the station. They have even made space walks: Wilmore has two on this mission, and has become The woman with more hours of extravehicular activity. So that they could return, NASA He booked two empty seats on the Crew-9 mission of Spacex. The Crew Dragon ship in which they will return to Earth has been coupled to the ISS since September Station maintenance. And the CREW-10 mission is not yet ready. Another change of ship. The CREW-10 mission was supposed to take off in a new Crew Dragon ship, called C213, which has not yet flown to space. However, a technical incidence, apparently related to the ship’s batteries, forced to delay its first flight at least until the end of April. Instead of continuing to delay the calendar (and with it, the return of Wilmore and Williams), NASA has opted for a logistics maneuver: Reassign to the CREW-10 mission an already tested shipthe C210 ‘Endurance’, which was preparing to fly with the private axiom-4 mission in spring. Thanks to this ship change, Crew-9’s return not only is not delayed, but is ahead of a few days. New dates. NASA plans to launch the CREW-10 mission on March 12, 2025, which would allow the CREW-9 to return on March 19 with Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on board, along with their companions Nick Hague (NASA) and Aleksandr Gorbunov (from the Russian agency Roscosmos). This change of dates responds, as we have seen, to a technical and operational issue, but explains why Elon Musk and Donald Trump published on social networks that Spacex would rescue the two astronauts “abandoned in the ISS” as soon as possible. A propaganda narrative of what was really happening after the curtain.

The AI ​​raises a huge change in our mobiles. One that will have (at least) 32 GB of RAM

by

A year ago our mobiles have AI functions. Google offers them with Gemini and Apple (more or less) with Apple Intelligencebut for now these functions are limited and are reduced to somewhat modest tasks. However, we are seeing how our PCs have access to more striking models. The recent comparison we made of Deepseek R1-14b with models as it calls 3.1-8b or phi 4-14b showed that these developments could really run well in a Mac Mini M4 with 16 GB of RAM. However, what happens for example in the Pixel is that Google offers its Gemini Nano modelwhich has two versions: one 1.8b and another 3.25b. They are decent models, but they are still clearly below the benefits of models such as Deepseek-R1-14B and others such as those mentioned. The problem is that these models, especially when we begin to raise the size and number of parameters (14b, for example), They need memory. And enough. A LLM of seven billion parameters (7b) usually need about 8 GB of memory, although here has some more margin of maneuver (for example, 12 GB) is recommended. The manufacturers know it, and in fact even Apple has made a small effort there. In the iPhone 16 The jump from 6 to 8 GB has been made largely because of this, and Google Pixel 9 They offer up to 16 GB of RAM precisely for the same reason: that gives maneuver margin so that the functions of the executed in local can function fluidly. But that jump may soon go more. It does not seem unreasonable to think that sooner rather than later let’s see mobiles with at least 32 GB of RAM precisely to be able to execute larger AI models and thus offer users more powerful options in this regard. Of course, not only does the amount of memory matter. Our mobile phones do not have a dedicated GPU that can accelerate these tasks, but much is being progressed in the development of NPUs increasingly powerful. The combination of both elements seems to make possible an important change in offering local models of increasingly versatile. These hardware improvements in our mobiles also join possible techniques of optimization and “compression” of AI models. The quantization, a kind of “rounding”, allows large language models (LLM) to see their size reduced, yes, from the loss of a certain level of precision. The quantization It is an already very popular process when being able to use large models in more modest machines, and in addition to reducing hardware requirements it also allows to gain efficiency. All this suggests a not too distant future in which we will have much more powerful models in our pocket. Models that we can run at home, which we can even use without internet connection and that will also maintain the entire conversation in private. There are many interesting advantages. Too many Not to think that we may soon see how mobile manufacturers presume 32 GB mobile. Or who knows if even more.

Sheinbaum says that the Gulf of Mexico will continue to be called like this despite the change of Google in the US.

by

The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaumsaid Tuesday that The Gulf of Mexico will continue to be called like this despite what Google has replaced its name for ‘Gulf of America’ To follow the orders issued by the American president, Donald Trump. “The Gulf of Mexico is still a gulf of Mexico“, Said the Mexican ruler at her morning conference. Sheinbaum minimized the implications of Google’s decision, which explained on Tuesday in the social network X that renamed the Gulf in its maps for the United States with the argument that is the current official name of that area in that country. The president showed Trump’s executive order that indicates that the name change is applied only on the American continental platformbut he reiterated that for the rest of the world he is still a gulf of Mexico, a name that appears on maps since the seventeenth century. “It is very important because that is what he signed, The United States continental platform, then let’s not speculatethis is what is signed by President Trump, ”he said. Claudia Sheinbaum, president of Mexico.Credit: Isaac Esquivel | EFE Trump fulfilled on his first day in office, on January 20, with his warning of calling ‘Gulf of America’ to the Gulf of Mexico for considering that Mexico is “governed by the cartels” of drug trafficking and is “a very insecure place” . But Sheinbaum defended his strategy of reacting with the “cold head” to the actions of the new US presidentwho has also declared an emergency on the border, has reinstated the Migratory program ‘Stay in Mexico’, and has designated terrorists to Mexican cartels. “I said it from the first day of the protest of President Trump, we have a responsibility. So what did we rely on? In what was signed, that’s why I say cold head, this is what was signed, which is its continental platform, ”he said. With EFE information.

This is how climate change is making Valencia a match in the middle of a sea in flames

by

January has the days counted and the Valencian thermometers seem to be in the wrong month. In more than a century and a half of data, a temperature had never been recorded above 26.6 degrees In the city of Turia. Well, yesterday Aemet devices They reached 27.1. AND It is not an isolated fact: We can travel the entire community jumping from weather station to weather station and a surprising amount of them would be for 25 degrees. In Chelva, a couple of days ago, The 30 were touched. But is this weird? The truth is that. Normal, according to the historical series, is that temperatures They should range between 10 degrees during the nights and 16 during the day. Overcoming the 25 is nothing that can be classified as “normal.” But it cannot be said that it is just a meteorological curiosity, it is a much greater problem than only now we begin to understand. What is happening in that Mediterranean area? The seasonal forecasts of Aemet They already drew A warmer winter than normal. I should not miss anyone: 73% of the 2024 days had an average temperature higher than the historical average of reference (and, As they point from the agencythat “the average is already a warm period”). Cold peaks, on the other hand, are increasingly rare. It is almost unimaginable that the Valencian garden suffer a cold wave Like 1956 or January 1891. In the latter, Castellón spent days to -10 degrees and the people of Grau could see one “immense ice belt on the banks of the Mediterranean“ That, today, is science fiction. The world, little by little, has been heating. So it has to do with climate change? In general, attributing weather events to climate change is complicated. Because, deep down, we always talk about probabilities and, although probabilities are never zero, As Aemet explains“In a stable climate it is very likely that these warm days would not have produced.” That’s where climate change enters. And, “due to the form that this data is adjusted to a normal distribution, the increase of 1.5 ° C of the average temperature gives rise to the fact that values ​​before rare or impossible, Now they are probable“ What consequences does all this have? Halfway between the causes and the consequences are The very high temperatures that the sea has. Much higher temperatures than we could imagine just a decade ago and than They have experts intrigued. To all purposes, the Mediterranean is becoming a gigantic battery of energy that “Try the strength of atmospheric phenomena“. It is inevitable to think about THE GREAT DANA OF 2024but The impact Of these new scenarios it goes much further. Does this mean that complicated moments come? Means, above all, that socioclimatic balance in which we were installed it is changing very fast and we do not know for sure where it is directed. That complicates the forecast and hinders management, but emphasizes the need to be prepared. A task in which, as the Dana showed us, everything remains to be done.

The Tesla Model and should be the change of paradigm in Europe. It has been destroyed as a best selling car by Dacia Sandero

Europe should walk to the electric car market. The entrance of the new emission limits regulations will force Increase market share of the electric car or, in the worst case for manufacturers, to disburse large fines. In the market, in fact, electric cars begin to accumulate Below 30,000 euros or with autonomy that, for less than 40,000 euros, allows you to get rid of the plug and not open your head planning a trip to the millimeter. A first step of how the European Automobile Market could change us in 2023. Then, the best -selling car on the continent was the Tesla Model and. Elon Musk’s Super SUV was even The best selling car in the world. Of course, contemplating all kinds of technologies. It was expected, therefore, that Europe continued to advance towards the electric car and that Tesla Model and strengthened its leadership. But nothing is further from reality. Elon Musk’s car has been widely overcome by an opponent who is antithesis: gasoline and without electrifying. It is Dacia Sandero. The new king of Europe Dacia Sandero was the best selling car last year in Europe, with 270,111 units according to Dataforce. The data differ slightly from those presented by Dacia that presumes to place 309,392 units In the European market in 2024. For the words of the Romanian company, we can assume that in these last sales the business market is also contemplated. And is that the Dacia Sandero Not only has it been placed as the best -selling car in Europe between individuals. His leadership is absolute and has devastated. Dacia confirms that it is the best selling car in each and every one of its sales channels. Among individuals, Dacia Sandero has taken almost 60,000 units To Tesla Model and, who in 2023 managed to get first position in the table. The electric car has added 210,484 units, which represents a 17.4% drop in this channel. This has barely left him as the fourth best -selling car in Europe. The Renault Clio (second best -selling car in Europe) and the Volkswagen Golf (third) have exceeded 6,000 units the figure achieved by Tesla Model Y. Although it can be seen as a European failure of the electric car, the truth is that already in 2023 The only electric car that really presented battle was the Tesla Model Y. No other car among the ten best -selling models was exclusively electric. It cannot be overlooked that the electric car in Europe punctured in 2024. 1,447,934 electric cars were sold, by the 1,538,106 cars of this type sold in 2023. It is a drop of 5.9%. This, in addition, caused a drop in the market share of the electric car 14.6% to 13.6% last year, According to ACEA data. But, without a doubt, the greatest responsible for this fall was Germany. No aid to the electric car, This technology collapsed 27.4% in the market that most buys electric cars from Europe. The fall was overwhelming And without the French relay (-2.7%), the entire market was conditioned in a year where Germany placed almost 144,000 electric cars less than the previous year. That is, the total market for the electric car in Europe moved in about 90,000 units less than the previous year. However, the fall of its locomotive palpated in part (about 54,000 units, which left another 54,000 units along the way. And without a great year of France, second market, the sales catastrophe did not extend. Therefore, losing the throne in favor of Dacia Sandero are Worst news for Tesla Model and than for Europe. Elon Musk’s supervent electric car sold in Germany 45,818 units in 2023. Figures that were very far from last year, when only put 29,896 in the market. They are worse, even that those registered in 2022, when the electric car had not taken so much in other markets and in Germany added more than 35,000 units. They are not good noticas for Tesla because Model and is called to be a real alternative to combustion vehicles and is taken for granted that had no rival in the electricity market for equal size and price. However, other models have not noticed so much the fall in sales of this technology in Germany or, they have even grown. The Skoda Enyaq, for example, has gone from selling 23,498 units in 2023 to 25,262 units in 2024. The Volkswagen ID.3 has remained at 20,101 units by 22,270 units of 2023. Tesla begins to find a market unknown to the company. The rivals begin to tighten and begin to position products in a price range and size unknown to the company. Cars like him Renault 5he KIA EV3 or the Volvo Ex30 They move Between 30,000 and 35,000 euros with smaller and practical cars in city but, in addition, they can be useful in escapes outside the city or on a long trip. As long as some discomforts in the models with smaller batteries are assumed. To reverse the situation, Tesla should expect that The image soda of the electric supervent Serve as a push to electric SUV. However, we are talking about a car of about 60,000 euros that will have to battle against options that are already much cheaper in the market. While they may not have the efficiency of Tesla, they are cars that already arrive with a more settled recharge network and the tranquility of not needing immense batteries. That without forgetting that its most traditional appearance can also play in their favor with customers who value a less disruptive interior.
