Audi A4 | Video | Reviews

The automotive sector is capricious and works by trends. A few years ago, no light was seen beyond diesel, which was present in the vast majority of new cars that were sold. Now its use is practically residual. The same with the bodies, since the sedans were popular for their behavior and use. Now everything that isn’t SUV seems doomed. And yet testing the Audi A4 35 TDI we have realized that not everything should be black or white, that one can navigate well in the sea of ​​greys. Because we continue to see obviousness that seems not to matter to the majority of the population. The first is that a sedan like the Audi A4 has a much more efficient bodywork than that of any SUV that is provided. It is simply enough to analyze its aerodynamics, more worked and fluid, or its reduced heig...

How to prolong the life of asphalt? It’s already made with soy

We all associate soy with a food use, but it can be used in other ways. Years ago we already saw how, in the automotive world, they are used to manufacture tires to foam for seats. And now we get the news that soybeans are being used to prolong the useful life of paved roads.

But rubber, in addition to being scarce, is carcinogenic and the process by which it is obtained is not very ecological. Knowing those drawbacks, Iowa State University scientists took aim at soybeans as an alternative…and developed a process to convert soybean oil into a biopolymer that mimics the performance of polybutadiene. The production process was initially impractical, requiring the oi...

Starter: Seat, Cupra and… Skoda?

Seat’s numbers, both globally and in Mexico, are not exactly spectacular. And its future, said by Thomas Schäfer, Volkswagen’s Director of Operations, is not yet decided, who made it clear that the brand is not going to disappear, but it can go through such a strong change that it can transform it into a mobility company, manufacturing, for example, electric skateboards such as the Mo 125. The fact is that the moment you are living in today is uncertain and this calls into question many things, including the operation in Mexico. When Cupra was created, Seat stopped being a brand to be a group that encompasses both.
