Karam el Shenawy January 03, 2023 0 It is the first time that the 500 km/h barrier has been broken, and what is most surprising is that this Ford GT can then be used by its owner to go buy the pang. For decades the main manufacturers have sought to be the one with the fastest car on the planet. Many are the speed records that have been established in recent times in which the figure of 400 km/h has already fallen short. But the 500 km/h barrier was the goal, a difficult one to achieve… until now. Because Ford was not only the first brand that managed to democratize the vehicle, but now it has taken the fastest step to have the fastest car on the planet.

Lack of trucks to transport cars, crowded in factories and ports

The low registrations in Spain in 2022 were due, in large part, to the lack of components (especially microchips). That prevented there being a stock and prices from rising due to not being able to meet the demand. Now, it seems that the mismatch in 2023 will come from logistics.

As explained to EFE by the president of the Transportave association, José Manuel Peña, in 2019 there were between 3,400 and 3,500 trucks in Spain for the transport of vehicles. Today, barely 2,700. These are expensive vehicles (between 240,000 and 250,000 euros), in some cases double that of an equivalent truck. With a higher cost of maintenanc...
