<p>Faraday Future, the Chino-American EV developer that’s always in dutch, said Monday it has established and signed a new restructuring agreement with its main investor, Evergrande Health Industry Group Ltd. The deal concludes a rather ugly legal dispute between the two — one which placed Faraday’s intellectual property and finances in serious jeopardy.</p>
<p>Following the departure of co-founder Nick Sampson in November, the automaker target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener found itself seeking new financing opportunities.&nbsp;Evergrande, which purchased a majority take in the EV firm via its summer acquisition of&nbsp;Season Smart, attempted to block new investments while Faraday accused the company of target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener attempting a forcible takeover of the automaker by withholding funds earmarked for outstanding debts. Those funds were essential in helping it reach agreed-upon production targets.&nbsp;<span id="more-1654648 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img data-attachment-id=" 1634896"="" data-permalink="" data-orig-file="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-assembly-.jpg" data-orig-size="1920,1280" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark III&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1532429638&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;" data-image-title="Faraday Future assembly" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-assembly--450x300.jpg" data-large-file="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-assembly--610x407.jpg" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1634896" src="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-assembly--610x407.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="407" srcset="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-assembly--610x407.jpg 610w, https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-assembly--75x50.jpg 75w, https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-assembly--450x300.jpg 450w, https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-assembly--768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-assembly--120x80.jpg 120w" sizes="(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px"></span></p>
<p>Evergrande had agreed to take a 45-percent stake in the company for $2 billion in funding starting with “initial payments totaling $800 [million]” through early 2018, with the remaining $1.2 billion being issued over time. But those additional payments never came.</p>
<p>The new agreement effectively nullifies their earlier contract. Faraday notified the world on Monday:</p>
<blockquote readability="11 &lt;p&gt;“Today, FF (Faraday Future Inc.) and its investor Season Smart have announced that they have entered into a newly agreed upon restructuring agreement. Both parties agreed to terminate the previous investment contract, withdraw and waive all current litigation and arbitration proceedings, and release all security including the asset preservation pledge and equity financing rights.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;While this officially ends the dispute, it doesn’t guarantee the automaker another dime — and we know it needs every penny it can find to get its factory up and running. Whether you blame Faraday’s repeated mismanagement of funds or Evergrande’s withholding of promised capital, the carmaker endured mass layoffs just months before it was scheduled to commence mass assembly of its first model, the FF91.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img data-attachment-id=" 1634898"="" data-permalink="" data-orig-file="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-hanford-factory.jpg" data-orig-size="1920,1256" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;22&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark III&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1532501121&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;2.5&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;" data-image-title="Faraday Future hanford factory" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-hanford-factory-450x294.jpg" data-large-file="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-hanford-factory-610x399.jpg" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1634898" src="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-hanford-factory-610x399.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="399" srcset="https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-hanford-factory-610x399.jpg 610w, https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-hanford-factory-75x49.jpg 75w, https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-hanford-factory-450x294.jpg 450w, https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-hanford-factory-768x502.jpg 768w, https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Faraday-Future-hanford-factory-120x79.jpg 120w" sizes="(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px"></blockquote>
<p></p>
<p>Faraday Future claims it will be able to solve its cash problem “quickly” now that a new deal is in place, though this statement contains a familiar ring. In truth, this is another setback in a seemingly endless chain of disappointments. The company needs fresh funding, and fast, if it intends to build vehicles at its leased Californian factory. But there are other problems to contend with.</p>
<p>In addition to&nbsp;Sampson, FF has lost several essential members of its engineering team who will need to be replaced. In fact, there’s been a mass exodus of upper-level employees over the last twelve months, resulting in a shallower talent pool than we would be comfortable with.</p>
<p>Still, we should tempter our general negativity with a tiny nugget of hope. While Faraday has target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener one of the worst track records of any automotive startup in recent memory, it continues to linger despite the deck always being stacked against it. We’re not presuming anything that would resemble a comeback, but we’d be shocked if FF fades into the history books at this juncture.</p>

Fraunhofer brings QoS monitoring to V2X communications - 18 Feb 2019 05:34

Tags:

<p>The quality of wireless communication can vary greatly, especially in highly dynamic environments such as road traffic. So far, it has been difficult to make this communication predictable and reliable. This is where the Fraunhofer ESK solution comes in: The researchers have developed a method for monitoring the quality of service (Quality of Service Monitoring ), which continuously monitors communication between vehicles and important environmental parameters such as topographical conditions. The topographical data are acquired from openly available digital maps; but according to a Fraunhofer spokesperson it also would be feasible to obtain these data from available driver assistance systems that use such data from a backend IT server. </p>
<p>Machine learning algorithms can also be used to predict the communication quality for the next few seconds or minutes (prediction) depending on the situation - the system can react to the new conditions in good time. </p>
<p>A possible application scenario is platooning: several trucks drive in close succession in order to save fuel and improve traffic flow. Up to now, however, the vehicles have had to maintain a large, rigid safety distance. The Fraunhofer ESK solution monitors the communication flow of all common ad-hoc and mobile communication technologies such as 802.11p, LTE and, as soon as they are available, 5G, and predicts how reliable they will be in the next few seconds. If the predicted quality is not sufficient, either a reliable communication channel can be used or the safety distance between the trucks can be increased preventively. The Fraunhofer ESK solution thus gives application developers greater scope for implementing safety-critical networked applications such as platooning and threading assistants as well as driverless transport systems. </p>
<p>The Fraunhofer ESK will present its approach at the ITS World Congress in Copenhagen (September 17 to 21, 2018, Hall C3, Stand 054). </p>

Suzuki Jimny vs. Toyota Land Cruiser off-road - 15 Feb 2019 05:17

Tags:

<p>Conversely, though, some cars get big turbocharged diesel engines and locking differentials. The Jimny’s open differentials have torque vectoring via braking, which only artificially replicate lockers, and then not always successfully. They sometimes leave a wheel spinning helplessly for grip. Usually, but not always, the answer is to back up and try again with a bit more speed, and allow the lack of inertia to do the job.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Would the Jimny benefit from a turbocharged engine? Certainly on the road, where it’s dreadfully buzzy, and off-road it’s easy to stall if you’re trying to creep forward without over-working the clutch. But if a turbo and cooling adds 20kg, perhaps necessitating a beefing of the clutch, it’d be easy to get trapped in a cycle of making things heavier to cope with something else you’ve just added weight to, and end up with a 4x4 that isn’t a Jimny at all.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img alt="" class="image-body-image" height="600" src="https://www.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/body-image/public/dsc_2447.jpg?itok=7XoyMH1J" width="900" /></p>
<p>A couple of months ago, it was reported that Suzuki was the most profitable car company, per unit, in the world: an examination of the Jimny’s underskin shows you why. You tap at it and wonder how thin the sheet metal is, you can see where they’ve stopped painting it, and what’s left uncovered by vanity plastic in the engine bay. The absence of a turbo saves cost, as does only having five speeds on the fairly sweet gearbox, and if a less than brilliant 35.8mpg and 154g/km of CO2 is the result, you can see how Suzuki makes money on cheap, tiny cars while other car makers cannot.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Land Cruiser is not a tiny car, but in ethos it’s not that unlike the Jimny – it puts off-road provenance before on-road refinement, although not to quite the same extent as the Suzuki, which as well as being breathless, is a bouncy and tiresome car on asphalt. But a car like the Land Cruiser, which is the choice of most of Africa, should deal with a Rutland quarry, right?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said it is making some temporary adjustments to production schedules at Castle Bromwich in central England “in light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry.”</p>
<p>Assistant general secretary of the Unite union, Tony Burke, said the move to a three-day week at the car plant was partly due to the “chaotic mismanagement of Brexit negotiations by the government, which has created uncertainty across the UK’s automotive industry and the manufacturing sector generally.”</p>
<p>The government’s “mishandling” of the UK’s transition to electric vehicles has compounded the problem, he added.</p>
<p>Industry observers said the industry is also affected by weakened consumer confidence and reduced sales of diesel vehicles, a trend which impacts on JLR more than others because of its greater reliance on diesel-powered cars in its British sales mix.</p>
<p>Castle Bromwich’s 1,000 employees will remain on full pay, despite decreased working hours from October until the start of December.</p>
<p>JLR prefaced the production announcement by saying it is standard business practice to regularly review schedules to ensure market demand is balanced globally. It added: “We are continuing to over-proportionally invest in new products and technologies, and are committed to our UK plants, in which we have invested more than &pound;4 billion since 2010 to future proof manufacturing technologies to deliver new models.”</p>
<p>Elsewhere, next year’s annual maintenance at the 4,500-employee Mini plant in Oxford will begin on 1 April, the first working day after the UK is scheduled to leave the European Union, owner BMW announced.</p>
<p>The German company said that “as a responsible organisation” it is bringing forward the four-week summer shutdown “to minimise the risk of any possible short-term parts-supply disruption in the event of a no-deal Brexit.”</p>
<p>BMW added: “While we believe this worst-case scenario is an unlikely outcome, we have to plan for it.”</p>
<p>The group said it remains committed to operating in Britain, where it also produces BMW and Rolls-Royce cars, regardless of the Brexit outcome.</p>
<p>Unite’s Tony Burke said BMW has taken the “sensible step” to bring forward its essential work, adding the decision underlines the uncertainty facing one of the UK’s flagship industries.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, new analysis by the UK’s Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) suggests that a no-deal Brexit and the resulting tariffs on light vehicles alone would add a minimum of &pound;5 billion to the collective EU-UK auto trade bill. The calculations are based on standard levies of 10% under World Trade Organization rules.</p>
<p>If passed directly on to consumers, import duties would push up the cost of UK-built cars sold in the EU by an average &pound;2,700, and light commercial vehicles by &pound;2,000. British buyers would face rises of &pound;1,500 and &pound;1,700 respectively on EU-made cars and vans. Such increases would affect demand, profitability and jobs, said SMMT.</p>
<p>It also pointed out: “Tens of thousands of parts making up a vehicle cross EU borders multiple times before final assembly, with the majority of components going into UK-built cars coming from EU suppliers, supporting supply chain jobs across the region.”</p>
<p>The UK exports some &pound;3.4 billion worth of components for vehicles built in Europe, and sources almost three times that sum from EU-based suppliers. More than 1,100 trucks cross into the UK from the Continent every day – the vast majority without a customs check – to deliver some &pound;34 million worth of parts to UK plants for vehicles and engines, which are then exported back to the EU, the society’s statistics show.</p>
<p>Europe’s automotive sector employs 13.3m people, represents 6.8% of the EU’s GDP, invests around &pound;47 billion in innovation annually, and produces roughly 17m cars, almost a quarter of global passenger car output per year.</p>
<p>“UK automotive is a key component of this success,” said SMMT. It is the EU’s second largest new car market, worth around &pound;29 billion to EU manufacturers every year, and the fourth largest car manufacturing nation. Its revenue is some &pound;82 billion, supports 856,000 jobs (186,000 in manufacturing), and is responsible for 11% of the EU’s auto manufacturing research and development outlay. British buyers registered around 1.9 million cars and vans from the EU last year.</p>
<p>SMMT describes automotive as a deeply integrated, EU-wide industry which has sought to maximise the benefits of a single market and customs union to reduce costs, improve quality and embrace innovation.</p>
<p>The society is calling on all Brexit negotiators to be pragmatic, secure a withdrawal agreement and transition, and safeguard one of Europe’s most valuable economic assets.</p>
<p>Referring to the highly integrated nature of the automotive sector’s logistics, SMMT said: “Without a withdrawal agreement, on 30 March 2019 this trade will, as a minimum, be severely disrupted – potentially halting production, undermining competitiveness and negatively impacting the industry in the UK and Europe.”</p>
<p><em>The repercussions of Brexit on the automotive supply chain will be under discussion at the forthcoming Automotive Logistics UK summit which takes place between October 9-10&nbsp;</em></p>

BMW M5 long-term review - 06 Feb 2019 04:15

Tags:

<p>There are lots of other things to get used to and get your head around, too, in part thanks to a raft of options that include&nbsp;one of my other favourite steering wheel buttons: a heated wheel rim. I do like a heated steering wheel. And, the other day, somebody left a pea under 20 mattresses and 20 feather-beds and I could still feel it at night!</p>
<p>Anyway, that’s part of the Comfort pack, which our road test reckoned was a good idea to spec, unlike the Premium pack. I agree;&nbsp;the M5 has a carbonfibre roof to reduce weight and make it lower, so I’d steer clear of too many options —&nbsp;such as the Premium pack’s soft-close doors —&nbsp;that add the kilos back on again.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="image-body-image" height="600" src="https://www.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/body-image/public/-bmw-m5-2018-longterm-review-muddy-tyres.jpg?itok=sWEIQBA1" width="900" /></p>
<p>Carbon-ceramic brakes also made the list, at &pound;7495, and an M Sports exhaust, at &pound;1100. The brake package is probably what provides a slightly oversensitive pedal at times —&nbsp;we’ll see if that improves with miles —&nbsp;and the ’zorst adds a welcome edge to the turbocharged motor, which otherwise resorts to relatively convincing speaker augmentation for some of its excitement.</p>
<p>Aural excitement, anyway. It relies on deploying 592bhp in great unhurried strides to deliver the visceral excitement. The engine is terrific. Less overtly V8ish than an AMG it may be, but there’s no arguing with the amount of oomph it provides&nbsp;or how it delivers it through the eight-speed automatic 'box.</p>
<p>It’s even capable, if you’re careful, of 28mpg, although 23mpg is more likely&nbsp;and 7.5mpg is possible on a track. I suppose owners don’t take M5s there that often, although they should, because it’s a great way to find out that BMW’s new super-saloon is unsurpassed in its dynamic abilities.</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to exploring those more&nbsp;as we find many, many more jobs for the M5 to do.</p>
<p><strong>Second opinion</strong></p>
<p>I love this car. I struggled at first to see why a 5 Series needed to be so hardcore but, after 400 miles, I just couldn’t get enough of its near-supercar steering and body control, plus its intoxicating acceleration, given the practical package and effortless delivery. Brilliant!</p>
