Thai Vehicle Sales Surge in October: BEVs and HEVs Lead the Charge

BEV sales soared by 128% year-on-year, hitting 8,479 units, while HEVs saw a 98% rise to reach 12,354 units. This growth comes as government incentives for EVs are set to expire at the end of the year.Despite the overall market rebound, sales of traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles continued their downward trend.

Automakers Seek Rare Earth Alternatives in Electric Motors

Stunned by frequent shortages of essential materials from China, automakers in the United States and Europe are quietly trying to reduce or eliminate their reliance on rare-earth metals used in electric vehicle motors. This shift is driven by geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions.BMW has taken a lead role with its iX SUV model, which uses electric motors that do not require neodymium or other rare earth elements. The company's approach reflects growing concerns about the stability of global rare-earth supplies, particularly as China controls most mining and processing operations for these materials.Researchers at Northeastern University and other institutions are exploring synthetic materials with magnetic properties similar to those found in meteorites. These efforts aim to d...

Lamborghini Pauses on EV Future; Winkelmann Shares Strategy

In the latest episode of Chapeau Media, Stephan Winkelmann pulls back the curtain on one of Lamborghini's most pressing issues: its first all-electric vehicle.

The global slowdown in EV adoption has forced the brand to reconsider its plans for a 2030 release.Technologically feasible but strategically questionable at this point, Winkelmann explains, “The technology is there, but the market isn’t responding as expected.” With many manufacturers rethinking their strategies and investments, ...
