    Not sure how you're reading from that article that Benz is bricking it and BMW keeps it cool? Neither are mentioned.

    The one thing pretty much guaranteed is that many of the current suppliers of parts to the car manufacturing industry will be doomed. That Bosch CEO better stop optimising the internal combustion engine and stop thinking about "alternative fuels" :rolleyes: and start working at steering his company away from the abyss.

    Bosch already see the writing on the wall. They have sold their starter/alternator business before the value of it tanks!
    This also backs up the idea that jobs will be lost to China as that is who they have sold it to!

    .....

    ?

    "Daimler, for example, said it was seeking billions in savings to help fund the transition, while VW said it would tender for partners to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros.

    'EUROPE AT RISK' "

    Benz & VW would seem to have the oul tutonic violin out but notice how BMW dont ?




    Perhaps BMW having a profitable BEV under their belt and see the way forward ?

    Am I wrong in thinking that VWs main BEV offering is a Golf listing at a price point approx twice what it should be to compete ?
