Given the tendency to make the finest phones, these manufacturers bet on something very different: the “Tocho-Telephones”

by

When Android manufacturers turn to increasingly thin devices “Get the Galaxy S25the still unknown Galaxy S25 Edge or the fine folding OPPO FIND N5– It’s because now It is not necessary to sacrifice too much battery capacity. However, the market offers phones that follow the opposite path, from less popular firms than those mentioned. The MWC 2025 has shown us A very disturbing robotnails Vision Pro Chinese of 200 dollarseven a very useful headphones loading caseand no less striking: Mobile with thermal chamber, night vision and even with a projector To wear a portable cinema in your pocket, or rather, in a backpack. Raudales battery and exclusive extras of these brands On these lines you can see the Ulefone Armor 27 Pro, an android of a brand not so unknown that in addition to protection with military certification adds a night vision chamber. As is. In the demonstration, I could see the interior of a completely dark box perfectly. It will not be a phone for the mass market, but it will be of interest to some professions. These types of telephones, the so -called rugerized, must do A great concession: sacrifice design and thickness to fit a large battery. That by the way in this case is not as exaggerated as in other mobiles that have been seen. In the case of Armor 33 Pro, his night vision chamber is also infrarroja. Add a second screen on the back despite not being a folding, and a large speaker of 118 decibels. And the 34 Pro armor, because simply rides a projector, a style rear Gaming, and A 25,500 mAh battery. There is almost nothing, it cannot be said that they are not innovative. From Armor 29 Pro, they say it is useful to see animals on camping nights: its thermal chamber carries the abundant “AI” label. It also has a Small rear panelmore oriented to consult the time instead of using smartphone applications. BlackView, another of the usual ones in this market segment, draws attention to its N6000 se, a roaring terminal, but retains the “compact” on its screen strange diagonal today: 4.3 inches. For the rest, it does not stand out in any of its specifications because it is very cheap: around 150 euros. Another of the most extravagant Apex 1, with Walkie Talkie function: 22 kilometers range and huge 20,000 mAh battery. It also has smartphones with thermal chamber in its catalog, which in its case is monitored from a third -party application that gives information about temperature at different points of the image. Flir puts the solution to all these manufacturers with thermal cameras, hence the link of the application, which by the way, presented some small error. Mention for Fossibot, a firm dedicated in the same way to ultra -resistant phones, with a difference: they give more importance to the aesthetics of your teams. The one on the right, the F112 PRO It looks a lot at the rear to Huawei pure 70 ultra. The camera module is practically a tracing. Again and one more year, the MWC leaves us the more exotic mobilesbetter with the passage of generations as the most conventional. They are, without a doubt, niche products that have their market, and we will not deny that they are authentic Swiss knives with not so common tools. In Xataka | This is one of the great surprises of the MWC of 2025: the world’s first biological computer In Xataka | ZTE went from selling cheap mobiles to dominate 5G technologies. And he has a message for the world: they will return

Europe had a plan to jump into the electric car and 2025 was its first fire test. The manufacturers have ended it

by

It had been rumored for a long time and has ended up confirming. The European Commission will make the maximum pollutant emissions that manufacturers will be fostered if they do not want to be fined with sanctions that promised to be one thousand millionaires. The pact that has been reached is a small three -year moratorium that postpon the problem to 2027. These are the key points. What we had. What was on the table was a road map designed to jump into the electric car gradually. By 2035 it is planned prohibit cars that are not “carbon neutrals.” That is, it is expected that combustion engines can be still used with hydrogen either synthetic fuels that during their production they absorb CO2 and, therefore, equal their small pollutant emissions expelled with the use But the truth is that these They should be more than mere exceptions. In 2030, an emission limit is so high that it should not allow the sale of cars that, at least, are not plug -in hybrid. And in 2025 very high fines were expected for those who exceeded 93.6 gr/km of CO2 on average in the car fleet sold. The regulations said that for each gram of CO2 exceeded in the fleet of cars sold it would be punished with a fine of 95 euros per car sold. That is, if the fleet average is 98.6 gr/km of CO2, the fine would be multiplied by five. Each car sold would face a sanction of 475 euros. A manufacturer that sells a million cars in the EU would face a penalty of 475 million euros. What changes. Little and a lot. The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has presented The conclusions of the second meeting of the table known as Strategic Dialogue for the future of the European Automobile Industry. In his second point he points out that there is “a clear demand to make the CO2 emission standards more flexible.” This flexibility is a kind of moratorium for manufacturers. Yes, they will have to comply with that emission limit of 93.6 gr/km of CO2 but will do so in 2027. Then they will present their results that will result from an average of sales of 2025, 2026 and 2027. Millionaire fines There are, therefore, in suspense. Trying to content everyone. According to Von der Leyen, the current emission limits are maintained in 2027 so as not to punish those who have done the job before anyone else but believes that the industry needs “more margin of maneuver and greater clarity, without changing the agreed objectives.” The changes, of course, need to be approved. The president of the European Commission It is optimistic In this sense, pointing out that an amendment as specific as this should be approved in very short space of time. On March 5 we will know more details with the presentation of an action plan that also contemplates the production of battery for electric cars within the European Union, among other measures. The big beneficiaries. Among the big beneficiaries are, of course, those who were not going to comply with emission regulations and aimed to overcome it widely. The biggest beneficiary is, with much difference, the Volkswagen Group, according to calculations collected by The automotive tribune. The German conglomerate pointed to a penalty of 6,914 million euros with the sales and emission data of 2024. Mercedes, who had received a fine of more than 1,000 million euros with the figures last year, is the other great beneficiary although there was already talk that he could have reached an agreement with Volvo or Polestar, among others, to form a pool of emissions before the European Union that will free them from the sanction. Now both manufacturers have time to launch mass electric cars (Volkswagen awaits you to 2026/2027) or, like Mercedes, which sell large volumes within the figures they usually handle. He Mercedes Cla It is the great hope for this year and the coming. Losers? If we take a look at the figures of 2024, Stellantis and the Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi alliance could also breathe calm since the fines could exceed 2,000 million euros if the data last year is taken as a reference. However, both groups have made important efforts to reach 2025 with electric cars that aspire to sell good quantities and, thus, reduce the middle emissions of the fleet. Stellantis has made an investment of 30,000 million euros on Stla platforms of greater and smaller size and software development, with the aim of accommodating electrical and hybrid mechanics in the same space. He Peugeot E-3008for example, it is a good attempt to sell large volumes of electric. Renault, meanwhile, has also made a giant leap in the electric car market in the last two years (winner of two Car of the Year consecutive along the way). His Renault Scenic and his new Renault 5 They are cars to move large sales figures which should significantly reduce the average emission. Those who surely lose. Those who have lost with the play are, of course, the manufacturers of electric cars exclusively. And, more specifically, those who aspired to get a good sum negotiating with their emission bonds to get the companies out of the possible sanctions. It could be a good impulse for Volvo, which has a very high part of its widely electrified range and, above all, to contain that It does not go through its best moment economic. But the one who loses the most is Tesla. The company had a complicated 2024 and is about to see if it reverses the situation in 2025. The sale of your emission bonds They were highly coveted because their sales volume in Europe is relatively high, it had to grow with the arrival of the Tesla Model and updated And it has no combustion engines that criminalize it in the least.

KTM is saved from the catastrophe. It is the proof of the power of Indian manufacturers

by

KTM has faced the most complicated beginning of the year. The company faced A bankruptcy situationforced to part with brands such as MV Augusta, and the waiting of a restructuring plan that would completely change the current strategy of the orange giant. Finally, good news comes. KTM has achieved the approval of its restructuring planwith the promise of an important capital and green light injection to resume production in the middle of next March. The plan includes the payment of 30% of this debt to its creditors, mobilizing another 150 million to resume production in its main factory located in Muchofen, Austria. “The total planned capacity of the four production lines in operation of a single shift will be achieved within a period of three months,” they say from Piere Mobility Ag. In Xataka The 12 cheapest electric motorcycles and with more autonomy: the best quality-price options These figures will be achieved thanks, among others, to the financial support of Bajaj Auto, one of the main KTM partners and in charge of manufacturing almost half of the manufacturer’s motorcycles, in addition to manufacturing for other premium companies, such as Triumph. {“Videid”: “X939600”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “This is the Kawasaki Hyse, its hydrogen motorcycle”, “Tag”: “Kawasaki”, “Duration”: “132”} As you collect ReutersThe shares of Pierer Mobility AG rose 16.7% last Tuesday in response to acceptance by the creditors of the company’s suborganization plan, KTM AG. They have not transcended details about the restructuring plan, on which the company’s future depends to be profitable. Stock accumulationan important expense for competing in MotoGP, and a little competitive price strategy (something that is beginning to reverse with the new KTM 390 ADV) are some of the factors that have led the company to its current situation.

Germany was the great European automobile power. Now, more and more manufacturers are clear that it is the place to avoid

by

“Germany is the place where the car was invented.” This clear and forceful are shown in the Verbandes Der Automobilindustrie (VDA)the German automobile industry association. An organization that estimated that in 2023 they worked in this sector 779,700 employees throughout the country. To get an idea of ​​the size of the automobile industry in Germany, in 2023 they manufactured 4.1 million passenger vehicles and almost 200,000 commercial vehicles. In Spain, the second largest vehicle producer in Europe, we manufactured half a million commercial vehicles but we stayed at 1.9 million passenger cars, according to data collected by Expansion. In fact, Germany is also the first country in Europe and the second largest producer in the world of electric cars. In 2023 they manufactured 1.27 cars moved by this technology. It would be expected, therefore, that with this experience it would attract more and more interest of new companies that intend to settle in Europe. Nothing is further from reality. A gigantic problem However, Germany faces a huge restructuring problem in the automobile industry. Their companies are in a process of conversion to the electric vehicle that points to thousands of layoffs but, in addition, the new companies seem clear that Germany is already the place where not to mount their factories. The last to position has been controversial. Asked about a possible polestar factory in the country, Michael Lohsccheller, general director of Polestar, responded to the newspaper Welt that “Germany It is not precisely the cheapest place For car production. Everyone knows what the general conditions are at the moment. “ With that last sentence, Lohscheller referred to the loss of German competitiveness in the automobile industry. Stefan Bratzel del Center of Automotive Management (CAM) I pointed to DW This same month of January that the country suffered with “high labor costs, including medical care expenses and extensive holidays” of its workers. To that same medium, Dirk Dohse, of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IFW) made it clear that German engineers were still among the best in the world but that the lack of flexibility prevented them from attract new talentsespecially from Asia. The country has been in a Institutional and economic internal crisis which is being deeper in the automobile industry. This loss of competitiveness has led manufacturers to warn that There are 190,000 jobs at stake If the industry does not find a solution. An output that looks more and more complicated if you consider that its manufacturers are drawing much more exports performance to China of electric cars than of combustion vehicles. This is a problem because the latter can get much higher per yield per vehicle sold than to electricity but also have a much lower competition than in the electric car market where the customer is turning to the local product. With the pressures of European policies to hug the electric car, the industry has undertaken a conversion in its factories. However, until 2024 technology Keep growing at a paid in EuropOh In China they see the European car as a outdated product. The latter is especially important in a country that houses a huge labor force of Volkswagen, Mercedes or BMW, whose world sales volumes They are especially sensitive to Chinese purchases. With bad results, Volkswagen has tried to fire tens of thousands of employees In Germany but, above all, the country sees How are production of vehicles or batteries to places like Spain, with lower labor and energy costs. A good example is the plant of Volkswagen in Sagunto to nurture Ford and Martorell. But, in addition, Germany is not attracting new investments. Northvolt’s project in Germany did not go from the theory while Spain has received Catl’s support, Byd has settled in Hungary and Leapmotor already produces cars in Poland and, It is rumored, that in Spain. Besides, Morocco and Türkiye They press to show themselves as especially attractive countries to produce cars as cheap as possible.
