The UAW declined to say if it would add additional Ford plants to the strike but said earlier this week it would not if it had seen “significant progress.” Ford shares gained 2%. Ford could not immediately be reached for comment.
About 12,700 workers walked out at plants in Missouri, Michigan and Ohio, which produce the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Chevrolet Colorado, alongside other popular models. UAW President Shawn Fain has warned that more of the union’s 146,000 members who work at the Detroit Three will join them if new deals are not reached before noon EDT (1600 GMT) on Friday.
The union will also invite President Joe Biden to come to the picket lines, the source said.
The standoff is fueling worries about prolonged industrial action that could disrupt production and ripple through the supply chain and dent U.S. economic growth. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday shows significant support by Americans for the striking auto workers.
Fain is due to address members on Facebook Live at 10 a.m. EDT, at which time he will outline the plants that will join the strike two hours later.
Fain has said the Detroit automakers have not shared their huge profits with workers while enriching executives and investors.
GM President Mark Reuss this week rejected those claims, saying the current offer to the union would be generous and the company’s profits have been reinvested in the transition to electric vehicles.
The automakers have proposed 20% raises over 4-1/2 years, while the UAW is seeking 40%.
The union also wants to end a tiered wage structure that it says has created a large gap between newer and older employees.
S&P said the strikes, which began on Sept. 15, were highly likely to last several weeks, potentially cutting third-quarter U.S. gross domestic product by 0.39% and causing “upheaval” across global automotive supply chains.
GM, Ford and Stellantis have said they are making contingency plans for further U.S. work stoppages.
Ford reached a last-minute deal to avoid a walkout at its Canadian operations late on Tuesday. Unifor, which represents about 5,600 Canadian auto workers, had been threatening to go on strike at all three Ford plants in the country.

You probably already know the problem. It’s the one that means you rarely see an E on the road. “I couldn’t live with the range…” said Saunders. “If only it had usable range,” said Verpraet. “All but unrecommendable,” said, er, me.
The E will take you up to 130 miles officially but usually less in practice. It takes an age to squeeze the last few percent of juice into the battery and it’s a brave soul who takes it down to near nothing, unless they know reliable home charge is waiting. So on a day out, let’s call it 100 miles. And that’s not nearly enough.
It’s such a pity, because the E, while not designed as a driver’s car per se and certainly not in the same territory as the Abarth 500e in being a hot hatch, is a pleasure to drive. It’s compact, its power goes to the rear wheels (not that it troubles them) and, by dint of not getting very far under its own steam, it’s relatively light in this company: at 1520kg, it’s second lightest, behind only the 500e.
That its front wheels don’t have to worry about power means that the steering is uncorrupted, slick and smooth. And with no front driveshafts, its turning circle is wee. That makes it the most fun in town, if not with the moves of the others on a B-road. “A city slicker through and through,” said Felix Page.

Whereas Guardian involves specific safety-critical situations, the institute’s human-interactive driving division is exploring ways to incorporate AI into the human driving experience.
Researchers are culling data from tests in both simulators and on racetracks to try to understand how motorists’ awareness levels correlate to steering, braking and throttle inputs. They’re further monitoring how drivers behave when they encounter yellow lights.
By analyzing and predicting responses, they hope to blend assistive features into the driving experience in a way that feels intuitive and sensible to humans. They further hope they can use AI as a driving coach of sort. It might help humans form better individual habits and incentivize good behavior.
“Imagine a car that you put your teenage children in, and you don’t have to be there,” said Avinash Balachandran, senior director of the human-interactive driving division. “You’re confident the car is going to make them a better driver.”
The notion that R&D efforts should still orbit around the idea of a human driver runs counter to many industry sentiments. And it’s not the only area in which Toyota has flashed a contrarian streak.
The automaker has said it would spend $70 billion on electrification efforts. It has committed to ensuring a third of its approximately 10 million vehicles sold globally each year are EVs by 2030. But Toyota says reducing carbon emissions should be its primary goal, not selling electric vehicles.
Toyota believes there are alternatives, namely hydrogen fuel cells, that can overcome battery-electric limitations in specific applications, such as long-haul trucking, and achieve a faster path toward net-zero emissions.
“We believe we need diverse solutions,” said Brian Storey, senior director of the institute’s energy and materials division.
It is his job to find and enhance them.
The division develops new materials for batteries and fuel cells as well as hydrogen electrolyzer and solar technology. It’s working on battery chemistries that need less rare-earth material and researching solid-state battery technology. The institute works with several university partners and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Part of their work utilizes new algorithms that make faster sense of datasets than humans could understand on their own.
It can take almost 50 years for new chemistries to transform into mature products, Storey said, and “a lot has to happen in a short amount of time” for the industry to meet carbon-reduction targets.
Part of his mission is to shrink that time frame by utilizing new machine-learning techniques. It helps focus research when “there’s an infinite number of possibilities, and we’ve only scratched the surface in the kinds of things we can make,” he said.

Mirage, the Autobot from “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” and its Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 alter ego are coming to Rennsport Reunion 7. The iconic event runs from September 28 to October 1 at the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and will feature a display of legendary cars in addition to the rare 964 series Carrera RS 3.8.
Fans and enthusiasts alike will have the opportunity to see the latest Transformershero car along with 15-foot-tall versions of Mirage, Optimus Prime, and Optimus Primal Autobots. Additionally, attendees will be treated to a special screening of the action-packed film, which grossed $439 million worldwide at the box office this summer.

Ayesha Coker, Vice President of Marketing of Porsche Cars North America, expressed her excitement about showcasing the hero car at the Rennsport Reunion in Monterey this September. She commended the Porsche Classic team for their dedication, preserving the car as a vital piece of Porsche history and ensuring its functionality post-filming. Coker also emphasized the significance of unveiling the vehicle at Rennsport Reunion 7, the world’s largest Porsche gathering.
The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 is an exceedingly rare and historically significant automobile, with only 55 units produced. To safeguard the original models from any potential harm, the film utilized five meticulously crafted picture cars that mimicked the 911 Carrera RS 3.8’s appearance.
Each of the picture cars served a specialized function in the film, tailored for various sequences. From high-speed backward driving to intense stunt performances and precise artist-focused scenes, every car played a crucial role in bringing the Transformers saga to life on the big screen.
However, for an authentic engine sound representing Mirage, the film relied on a real 911 RS 3.8, recording its distinctive exhaust note to capture a genuine auditory experience for viewers. Coker emphasized the meticulous effort to replicate the authentic sound, a testament to the filmmakers’ dedication to delivering a true-to-life cinematic experience.
In addition to the Mirage Porsche 911 Carrera, the 2023 Rennsport Reunion celebrates Porsche’s 75th anniversary and will mark the US debut of the Mission X, the automaker’s latest all-electric hypercar concept. It will also feature the Porsche Vision 357 Speedster, a modern interpretation of the iconic classic Porsche 356 Speedster of the 1950s.

“I’m so grateful to be included in this list of amazing women in the supply chain and passionate about inspiring other women to find their voice and confidence as leaders as well,” says Jenna Wagner, Global Marketing Director at TEKLYNX. “Thank you to Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive for continuing to highlight women’s work and our contributions across the supply chain.”
“This year, we received over 400 submissions, the highest amount of applications not only for this award, but also for all of our awards. What’s more, 118 of those applications were submitted by male counterparts, nominating their boss, co-worker, or associate. Last year, that figure was just at 75. Also, this year, 39 women self-nominated, a tremendous uptick from last year’s award, which just saw 12 self-nominations. This shows progress. This shows hope that one day, we won’t need an award like this because men and women in the supply chain will be equal,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “While there’s still more work to be done, what we’re doing is working. From truck drivers to CEOs, what these winners are doing matters to the future of all supply chains.”
Jenna continuously works to spark innovation and improvements in barcode labeling solutions throughout the supply chain by providing her leadership and perspective on the TEKLYNX Product Steering Committee and industry associations. Over the last year, Jenna fostered numerous strategic partnerships with other technology providers and worked to educate the market on combined barcode labeling solutions to streamline operations and minimize waste. Jenna’s leadership in identifying customer needs also helped drive TEKLYNX Americas to launch an eCommerce storefront to give customers another way to select and buy barcode label design software online 24/7.
“Women have been making a significant impact in supply chain management, contributing to the growth and innovation of the supply chain industry. As more women join the supply chain workforce, they bring diverse perspectives that can help address complex supply chain problems and improve global supply chain operations. It is important that we empower, recognize, and elevate these achievements through initiatives like the Women in Supply Chain Award, as seen through the overwhelming response. Congratulations to all the winners, those who nominated others and the bravery of those who nominated themselves,” adds Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder of Let’s Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge project, both exclusive sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain Award.

Volvo’s first attempt at a compact sibling for its established XC60 and XC90 SUVs is a real success, and in the XC40, the Swedish marque has given us a car with the sort of instant kerbside appeal you’d expect of the class-leading act that it very recently still was.
With a design sufficiently charismatic and alluring to bring younger family buyers into Volvo showrooms, the XC40 backs up its funky exterior with a cabin of laudable richness, comfort, usability and quality. While this isn’t the most practical car in the small SUV class, it certainly has plenty of luxury car ambience, not to mention all the in-car technology you’d hope for.
There’s a choice of two plug-in hybrid models, a couple of mild-hybrid petrols, an entry-level T2 and a T3 petrol and the fully electric Recharge version, which is available in 228bhp single-motor and 402bhp dual-motor guises – the former switching from a front motor, front-wheel drive layout to a rear-mounted motor and rear-wheel drive for 2023.
The XC40’s ride and handling represent Volvo at its best and the small family 4×4 at its most relaxing. Rather than chasing other premium brands for driver appeal, the XC40 is happy to play the comfortable, refined, convenient and easy-to-use option – and it’s an effective one. If an SUV’s mission is to lift its driver above the hustle and bustle and filter out the pain from the daily grind, few do it better.
Pros Good to drive, excellent interior, comfortable over distance
Cons Straight-line performance not always up to snuff, can be loud at a cruise
This is easily one of the best-looking SUVs on the market and is objectively much more refined than its predecessor, with respectable fuel economy and an unusual level of handling verve for this class.
The CX-5’s interior is solid and quietly stylish, and it offers plenty of passenger and boot space. Although it’s now a bit older than some of the other entrants on this list, the CX-5 hasn’t lost any of the handling pep that has made it one of our favourite compact SUVs.

Wages for starting workers in Canadian dollars, including a $1.21 cost-of-living allowance fold-in, will jump 22 percent as of Sept. 25, rising to $29.67 from $24.26 previously. For workers already at the top-end of the pay grid, wages will increase 13 percent, to $42.39 from $37.33.
(Note, the Canadian dollar is worth $0.74 in U.S. dollars at current exchange rates.)
Pay for workers at all levels of the wage grid will then rise two and three per cent at the start of the second and third years of the agreement.
The deal also halves the grow-in time for new workers. Under the previous collective agreement, new hires started at 65 percent of top-end pay and it took eight years to progress to 100 percent. The new tentative deal gives new hires 70 percent of high-end pay and shortens the grow-in time to four years.
Signing bonus
Active Ford members will also get a C$10,000 ($7,411 USD) “Productivity and Quality” signing bonus.
The tentative deal offers a path back to defined benefits pension plans for workers hired after 2016 as well. Members currently on defined contribution plans will be able to transfer to the more “stable and beneficial” defined benefits plan as of Jan. 1, 2025, according to the master bargaining committee.
A range of other improvements to both sets of pension plans are also included in the tentative deal.
Support for workers during retooling periods was another of Unifor’s key priorities heading into talks. To assist members during shutdowns, the supplemental unemployment base rate increases to 70 from 65 percent.
Notably, it will remain at that rate through the estimated eight-month retooling period for the Oakville Assembly Complex. That project is scheduled to start next year.
Production promises
While the Oakville plant already has a C$1.8 billion ($1.3 billion) investment commitment, the tentative deal also includes unquantified spending in Windsor.

Rubicon’s smart city technology will power solid waste collection in America’s fifth largest city, digitizing workstreams and enabling greater efficiency in an operation that services more than 418,000 locations every week
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rubicon Technologies, Inc. (“Rubicon” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RBT), a leading provider of software-based waste, recycling, and fleet operations products for businesses and governments worldwide, today announced that it has entered into a five-year smart city partnership with the City of Phoenix, Arizona (the “City”) to digitize and improve efficiencies across the City’s solid waste collection operation.
The agreement will put Rubicon’s smart city software at the heart of Phoenix’s Public Works Department, providing waste and recycling collection to more than 418,000 locations weekly. Rubicon will help the City digitize its solid waste collection operation, transitioning from largely manual and paper-based processes to using tablets running Rubicon’s software in Phoenix’s solid waste and recycling fleet of more than 300 vehicles. The City will use Rubicon’s technology to streamline collection services, and reduce missed pickups and unnecessary go-backs. With digital routes, the City will be able to closely monitor route performance, identify areas where waste and recycling services can be improved, and make data-driven decisions to enhance route efficiency and better serve the Phoenix community.
“We are excited to move our solid waste collection operations to Rubicon’s digital, cloud-based system,” said Felipe Moreno, Assistant Public Works Director for the City of Phoenix, Arizona. “Rubicon’s smart city technology will empower us to efficiently manage our entire fleet of collection vehicles, optimize routes, and enhance our waste and recycling services. By harnessing the power of data-driven decisions enabled by Rubicon, Phoenix is dedicated to delivering customer-focused solutions for our community.”
RUBICONSmartCity™ is the smartest way for cities, counties, and other municipalities to manage heavy-duty fleets. It is a proprietary, cloud-based technology suite that helps local governments run faster, smarter, and more effective waste, recycling, and heavy-duty municipal fleet operations. It helps government-owned fleets improve neighborhood streetscapes by monitoring vehicle health, improving driver behavior, and ensuring that materials are collected efficiently. The results: fewer vehicle accidents, less road wear, and safer communities.
The addition of Phoenix to the RUBICONSmartCity platform follows a string of new city customer announcements for Rubicon, including the cities of Houston, Miami, Atlanta, and Denver, as well as almost a dozen mid-sized cities that were added to the Company’s municipal customer list in the first quarter of 2023. More than 100 cities across the United States have deployed Rubicon’s technology to improve core municipal operations, including eight of the top 20 U.S. cities by population.
“We are proud to partner with the City of Phoenix to bring our innovative smart city technology to solid waste operations in America’s fifth largest city,” said Conor Riffle, Senior Vice President of Smart Cities at Rubicon. “Solid waste collection is one of the most critical services for cities, and our cutting-edge technology helps them deliver this service more efficiently, effectively, and sustainably. This collaboration reaffirms our commitment to supporting cities like Phoenix as they embrace technological advancements to build smarter and more sustainable communities.”

A source with knowledge of the negotiations said GM and the union remained far apart on an agreement as of Wednesday. The UAW declined to comment on whether it was close to a deal with any of the three companies.
GM officials went public with specifics about its most recent offer, which includes raises totaling 20 percent over the next four years for UAW-represented employees. That would bring top wages to $39.24 in 2027, including for workers at components and parts distribution facilities who currently earn less than other employees, GM President Mark Reuss said Wednesday.
In an opinion piece published in the Detroit Free Press, Reuss said GM’s Sept. 14 proposal — presented on the day the automaker’s previous contract with the UAW expired — would move all employees covered under the national contract to the same pay system and allow new employees to reach the top wage in four years. That would be a reduction from the current eight years for new hires.
“We have assembly and manufacturing jobs, we have warehousing jobs and we have supply jobs,” Reuss wrote. “Within these distinctly different businesses in our national contract, everyone is paid on the same wage structure.”
GM’s proposal would raise base wages for 85 percent of its represented work force to about $82,000 per year, with total compensation topping $150,000 annually when factoring in overtime pay and benefits such as health care, he wrote. The company’s offer also ensures that products will be allocated to — meaning work would continue at — all of GM’s U.S. facilities, Reuss wrote, signaling that the automaker does not intend to close any plants as it transitions to an all-electric vehicle lineup.
Reuss called the union’s demands “untenable,” noting that GM invests its profits into the company and its employees, including to prepare plants to build EVs and also for future gasoline-powered pickups and SUVs.
GM earned roughly $65 billion in net income from 2013 to 2022, including $9.9 billion last year, according to Reuss’ op-ed piece and GM’s annual reports filed with federal regulators. The automaker’s capital expenditures totaled more than $77 billion in that same period, according to regulatory filings. The company said when reporting second-quarter earnings in July that it expects capital spending of $11 billion to $12 billion this year.
The Detroit 3 have pushed back against the UAW’s criticism of their proposals in recent days. Fain has said the companies are earning record profits but paying “poverty wages” to employees.
“Amid the rhetoric of the United Auto Workers leadership, the flow of misinformation is not fair to anyone. It can be hugely counterproductive to reaching an agreement that gets the GM team back to work quickly, which should be everyone’s goal,” Reuss wrote.
“The record offer we proposed on Sept. 14 recognizes the many contributions our represented team members make to our company — past, present and future,” he wrote. “And it addresses, directly, what they’ve told us matters most: wage growth, job security and long-term stability.”

About 13,000 workers at three plants — one each from General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Stellantis — are currently on strike and would become eligible for strike pay from the union on the day of Fain’s next announcement.
After the strike began, Ford laid off about 600 additional workers in Michigan as a consequence of its reduced production capacity, and GM has said it will need to lay off about 2,000 workers in Kansas as early as this week.
Negotiations continued Monday, although Fain has called progress “slow.” A person with knowledge of the talks said the union has not received any new proposals from the automakers since the strike began.
Fain told NPR earlier Monday that “the ball’s in their court,” referring to the companies.
Bargaining at the subcommittee level continues at a near constant pace while the union has held main table discussions with each company since the strike began. It met with Ford on Saturday, GM on Sunday and Stellantis on Monday.
In a statement, Stellantis said “the discussion was constructive and focused on where we can find common ground to reach an agreement that provides a bridge to the future by enabling the Company to meet the challenges of electrification.” It said the two sides “have the opportunity to establish a framework in this contract that will allow the company to be competitive during this historic transformation and bring our workforce along on this journey. This includes identifying a solution for Belvidere, something we have been committed to from the beginning and a discussion we want to continue with the UAW.”

Here’s a nightmare scenario for anyone who drives a low-riding sports car. Before diving into the story, the good (and surprising) news here is that nobody was injured. As for the bad news, the pictures should make that quite obvious.
This unwelcome Chevrolet meetup took place on September 18 in Thornton, Colorado, a suburb of Denver to the north. Specifically, the crash happened at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and 168th Avenue, also known as Country Road 2. Crews from three municipalities responded, with the Thornton Fire Department sharing these spooky images of a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck perched squarely atop a C8 Corvette.
We call these photos spooky for two reasons. There’s the obvious shock factor of having pickup truck wheels perched just outside the Corvette’s cockpit. You can bet its occupant (or occupants, we don’t know how many people were inside the ‘Vette) had a moment of terror as the Silverado came to rest on the windshield. The second reason is a question we’re still trying to answer – how did it get up there?
Modern pickup trucks are certainly sizable machines, and with off-road packages they can ride pretty tall from the factory. However, this particular Silverado (which looks like a facelifted third-gen truck) may not even have four-wheel drive. The wheels appear to be modest mid-level Chevy rims wearing equally modest tires, and there are no visible suspension upgrades. Judging by the grille, it could be a truck in LS trim and even if it’s a 4×4, we don’t see a Z71 badge denoting the optional off-road upfit. For all intents and purposes, this should be one of the lowest-riding late-model Chevy half-ton trucks you can get. And yet here it is.
Photo Credit: Thornton Fire Department
As for the Corvette, it’s always been a low-slung sports car and the mid-engine C8 certainly isn’t an exception. We can see this one is a Stingray, both by the design of the front fascia and the Stingray emblem on the engine cover. Does it have aftermarket suspension? That’s a question only the owner can answer at this point, because you know, a 2.5-ton pickup truck crushing the car tends to compress the springs. Kudos to that A-pillar though. We don’t know how it looked immediately after impact (there are jacks supporting the truck in these photos) but it was at least strong enough to prevent injuries.
Google Maps tells us this particular intersection is a four-way stop in a rural setting, so that adds even more fuel to this mystery. Still, it’s not like crazy crashes never happen – lest we forget the Ford Explorer that legit drove up and over a C4 Corvette at an intersection back in July 2022. That was a slow-speed event, though the position of the truck and the visible damage on the front of the Corvette in this crash suggests a bit more speed was involved.
Motor1.com contacted both the fire and police departments in Thornton in hopes of getting additional context on this collision. We’re awaiting a response, and we will share that will all of you as soon as it comes in. Until then, stay safe out there everyone. And for crying out loud, please stop driving over Corvettes.

NetJets named launch customer for the new Cessna Citation Ascend
WICHITA, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Textron Aviation and NetJets® today announced a record-breaking fleet agreement for the option for NetJets to purchase up to 1,500 additional Cessna Citation business jets over the next 15 years. This agreement extends NetJets’ existing fleet agreement, and includes options for an increasing number of aircraft each year, enabling NetJets to expand its fleet with Cessna Citation Ascend, Citation Latitude and Citation Longitude aircraft. Equally exciting is the announcement that NetJets has been named the fleet launch customer for Textron Aviation’s newest jet — the Citation Ascend.

“NetJets customers around the world continually select Citations as their aircraft of choice.

Cessna Citations are renowned for their ability to combine reliability, efficiency and comfort with advanced technology and class-leading performance, and no other family of business jets offers such a seamless progression of aircraft with extraordinary capabilities. Since Cessna delivered its first Citation in 1972, it has set the standard in the business jet market, often achieving the most deliveries annually across the business and general aviation industry.
The Citation series of business jets has evolved to offer an unmatched range of capabilities, systems and options that allow customers to expand their business reach.

When the clock struck noon Friday, Stellantis workers filed out of the Center Line facility shouting “Save Mopar now,” a reference to the company’s plans to close some Mopar facilities and modernize its parts distribution network. Stellantis has said the moves would not result in job losses. Workers held signs and chanted “no pay, no parts.”
The decision to call on parts distribution centers came as “a total surprise” to Craig Baxter, who has worked at GM’s Customer Care and Aftersales site in Lansing, Mich., for 10 years.
Baxter said he hoped the expanded strike would bring GM to the table to offer bigger raises, adding that he supports putting the parts depots on equal footing with manufacturing plants.
“We’re General Motors and we do labor work, so we should be in the same wage pool together,” he said.
At GM’s Davison Road Processing Center outside Flint, Mich., Ira Bradley is one of about 1,200 employees. He’s been working there for only three months, but this isn’t his first strike. He was at interior supplier Faurecia in Saline, Mich., when UAW called a walkout in 2019.
Bradley said he wasn’t scheduled to be on the picket line yet but came out anyway to show support.
“This is for a cause, this is for the movement,” Bradley said. “It’s bigger than us.”
Back in Lansing, Jean Duchemin, vice president of UAW Local 1753, said what he most wants in a new contract is the end of different wages for different roles, including new hires.
“Give us a proposal that does not exclude anybody,” Duchemin said. “Everybody must be included.”
Vince Bond Jr., Jamie Butters, Marisa Marcinkowski, Tierra Riddick, Rudy Schork and Lindsay VanHulle contributed to this report.

Volvo announced at Climate Week NYC today that it will stop producing diesel vehicles by early 2024. It said the decision illustrates how rapidly both the car industry and consumer demand are changing in the face of the climate crisis.
As recently as 2019, the majority of Volvo’s cars sold in Europe were diesel-powered, as was the case for many other car makers. Electric vehicles accounted for a very small percentage of sales. That trend has reversed itself. Today, the majority of Volvo’s vehicles are either fully electric or feature a plug-in electric hybrid powertrain.

In addition to eliminating diesel-powered cars, Volvo plans to be fully electric by 2030 and is aiming to be climate-neutral by 2040. Those targets follow the decision the automaker made last November when it sold its stake in Aurobay, a joint venture containing all of its combustion engine assets. As a result, Volvo no longer spends money on gasoline or diesel engine development.
Speaking at Climate Week in New York City, Jim Rowan, the chief executive at Volvo Cars, stated the company is fully focused on creating a lineup of premium, fully electric cars. “Electric powertrains are our future and superior to combustion engines. They generate less noise, less vibration, less servicing costs for our customers, and zero tailpipe emissions,” he said.
To further emphasize that point, Anders Karrberg, Volvo’s chief sustainability officer, will attend an event organized by the Accelerating to Zero Coalition at this year’s Climate Week. Launched at the COP27 climate summit, the A2Z Coalition provides a multi-stakeholder platform for signatories of the Glasgow Declaration on Zero Emission Vehicles. That platform’s objective is to reduce tailpipe emissions to zero on new vehicle sales by 2040.
Meanwhile, Volvo is moving ahead by launching a full slate of electric vehicles. Earlier this year, it launched the EX30, the company’s cheapest EV, which starts at $34,950. It debuted the EX90 at CES in January, which begins deliveries in early 2024. Eventually, the automaker plans to launch a minimum of six EVs by 2026, including an electric version of the XC60 and a new EM90 minivan.

BMW Motorrad, the German carmaker’s motorcycle-building sister company, has issued a stop-sale order that applies to all new internal-combustion and some used models in North America. While details are vague, the brand allegedly found a problem with the evaporative system in its engines.
“Following a recent quality analysis, BMW is pursuing measures to further evaluate the material used in a component of its motorcycle evaporative system, which may not have been produced to specifications,” BMW wrote in a statement obtained by BMW Owners News.
The company describes the stop-sale order as “temporary and voluntary” and adds that it applies to all new and pre-owned models currently sitting in a dealer’s inventory. BMW stresses that the problem does not affect safety and that owners can continue to ride their motorcycle. We’ll need to be patient to find out precisely what the problem is, when and how it will be fixed, and which models are affected by it.
For context, the evaporative system referred to in the statement traps fuel vapors and channels them back into the engine so that they can be burned. In simple terms, it normally consists of a small charcoal canister connected to the fuel tank and the engine via a series of lines. This system isn’t specific to motorcycles: all new cars sold in the United States since the early 1970s feature a similar setup. In newer cars, the evaporative system (often abbreviated EVAP) is linked to the on-board diagnostic system and can trigger a check-engine light.
We’ll provide more details on this developing story as they become available. Nothing suggests BMW’s cars are affected by this problem.

A new video from Hennessey Performance showcases its new HPE1000 upgrade for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. The super sedan demonstrates its performance prowess against a stock Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in a series of drag races.
The Corvette Z06 is no slouch with its naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8 engine. The powertrain produces 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, propelling the mid-engine supercar to 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds. Those are impressive numbers, but they are diminished by Hennessey’s H1000 upgrade package to the Cadillac.
The CT5-V Blackwing typically tiptoes just under the Z06. The sedan’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine makes 668 hp and 659 lb-ft of torque from the factory, but the tuner’s upgrade kit cranks the car’s output to 1,000 hp and 966 lb-ft of twist.
It should come as no surprise the Corvette lost both races. The Cadillac easily pulled away from the Chevy in both bouts even though the sedan weighs more – 4,123 pounds to 3,686 lbs.
The Cadillac’s engine received numerous upgrades from Hennessey. The aftermarket specialist added ported cylinder heads and an HPE camshaft. It also installed new valves, lifters, and pushrods, plopping a larger supercharger on top.
The upgrade kit includes a high-flow air intake, larger heat exchangers, and long-tube stainless-steel headers. Hennessey gets all the upgrades working together with its engine management software.
According to the tuner, the upgrades allow the Cadillac to reach 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, 0.1 seconds quicker than the Corvette and a full second better than the stock CT5-V Blackwing. The tuned family car can crush the quarter-mile in a claimed 10.1 seconds while on its way to a 205-mph top speed.
Cadillac recently updated the CT5 sedan for the 2025 model year, giving it a subtle styling update without changing the powertrains. Customers can select the standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 237 hp or the 335-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6. Details about the updated CT5-V and CT5-V will arrive later, which should receive a similar level of revision.
Hennessey didn’t disclose the package’s price during the announcement in June. The CT5-V Blackwing starts at$93,390 (price includes the $1,395 destination charge), and the upgrade likely pushes the car over the six-figure mark. The kit comes with a two-year, 24,000-mile warranty, too.

Ferrari’s Special Projects program is one of the most unique, exclusive, and coveted pieces of the Ferrari tapestry there is. Ferrari’s most prized clients, through the Special Projects program, are given the opportunity to collaborate with the historic manufacturer in the creation of their true dream car, and that is how the Ferrari KC23 came to be. The car’s avant-garde styling is like few other Ferraris conceived, and being a track-only creation, the result is art in exciting motion.
Revealed this past July, the Ferrari KC23 is based on the 2020 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo, but with an elegant, muted paint color, a futuristic silhouette, and scissor doors, it looks radically different. In addition, it features advanced aerodynamics for excellent track performance, which have the ability to be removed in order to give the car a stunningly elegant shape while it sits still.
In a new Instagram post, Ferrari is showing the KC23 in development, with camouflage that does show that the car is nearing its final form in the flesh. With the desired and highly exclusive status as one of Ferrari’s most prized clients and collectors, it’s truly incredible what lengths the Prancing Horse is willing to go to in the Special Projects program to make a client’s personal dreams of the perfect Ferrari race car come true.

President Joe Biden will travel to Michigan on Tuesday to speak about the United Auto Workers‘ strike against Detroit automakers, the president announced Friday on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. The UAW earlier invited Biden to join workers on the picket line in their fight for higher wages.
The strike is entering its second week, with the UAW reporting progress in its talks with Ford, yet widening its walkout against GM and Stellantis.
Fain called all GM and Stellantis parts distribution facilities to strike on Friday, announcing walkouts at 38 locations across 20 states. All of the plants already on strike will remain on strike, according to Fain.
Former President Donald Trump is also expected to visit the picket lines next week in Michigan, likely the day after Biden’s visit.
About 12,700 workers walked out at plants in Missouri, Michigan and Ohio, which produce the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Chevrolet Colorado, alongside other popular models.
