there are few cars that raise so many passions Like the Suzuki Jimny. And that its recent history has been loaded with unforeseen events that have ended with its disappearance from our market, at least as we knew it. It is true that it continues to be sold in the Jimny Pro version, which is approved as N1 commercial and only has two seats, as well as some limitations.

The green Aston Martin It is the new color of the season, and in the nine minutes that the video uploaded by the team itself lasts, you can see its effect and that of Fernando Alonso.

It has been relatively recently that we have heard of the United States IRA law. This is a measure that the country has launched to fight inflation, with succulent incentives at the industry level, especially when it comes to electricity and its batteries. This means that many companies that had little in Europe now look to the other side of the pond to locate their new facilities. There is talk that about 50 battery factories are at risk of displacement if no action is taken. This data is more tragic if it is spoken in percentages of productive capacity, since 68% of the total (1.2 TWh) is at risk. It is said soon, but it is the amount of batteries that could power 18 million electric cars. That also affects SpainHere, 79% of production is in danger and two of the factories that could be ...
