If your goverment's system allows you to compete internationally is still free market, but for the US and the EU is only free market if they are the winners, otherwise is unfair 😅 their classic double standards!
This isn't about VW but it is about cars .. i used to think toyota was from pakistan because a lot of pakistanis only drove toyotas and honda's and rave about the reliability and low cost.
Our daughter lives in Paris with her boyfriend. Sound engineer and teacher. They don’t have a car and life is great. Public transport is amazing. The guy on motorcycle can just ride to his local train, rer or metro station…
Market freedom is absolute..i don't under why European scared about Chinese companies..they mock Chinese cars for decades for poor quality and can't compete with European manufacturers..now its reverse..
I lived in Paris from '56 to '60 and these were all over the place and I loved them. There is definitely a place for these treasures both Electric and ICE in today's world. Congratulations on a determined and ultimately successful effort!
Leopard and U8/9 are going to be the final nail in coffin of traditional car makers, only Toyota will survive this invasion due to its reliability/durability/quality...
In America the car's started going downhill 50 year's ago. The best of both worlds would be a resto-mod. Old classic body with heavy metal and lot's of chrome, but the suspension, steering, brakes, etc more modernized.
My brother went to Germany and picked up his new Mercedes at their plant. He had to put so many miles on it. Toured around several countries, then shipped it to America. The savings paid for their trip. Plus a tour of the plant.
The American Dream is still obtainable as long as you have the proper knowledge and understanding to acquire it. This coming from an African American. 😎
Eric de Caumont, you must be very limitied in your brain capacity if you think giving more space to people and bikes is "removing all cars, all motorcycles, all motories vehicles from the city" and "turning the city into a museum" "where life is no longer permited". Are you actually and idiot? Just because you're a lawyer doesn't mean you know how urban transportation and life should be made..
All the same complaints we hear everywhere that sanity is reintroduced to cities. But the producers of this video are part of the problem. They give way to much time to the whiners and present their arguments as legitimate reasons to reverse course. But half of what the complainers are whining about is completely wrong. Nobody is proposing banning ALL cars as the *lawyer* claims, And he knows it. Bikes don't get in the way of the cab or any other car. A car takes up 10 times the space of a bike, when stopped... or 30 times the space when driving 30 km/h. It's cars that are in the way. The dude who's against 15 minute cities doesn't have a clue that the change applies specifically to the suburbs - not to the city. It already exists in the city. He complains that those in the city will get it but it's he who will get it.
Western governments financially support their domestic industries, too. They use tax concessions and government grants. China has the right to impose tariffs on Western products. Protectionism hurts consumers by making products more expensive.
The issue of the government of the city centre being seperate to the outer city is interesting. It does seem reasonable that people who live in the outer part but work in the centre should have input into decisions that affect them. In the UK the London mayor is elected by the whole of greater London, not only the city centre. He has brought in many restrictions on cars both on traffic and emissions and introduced a city wide speed limit of 20mph, the same as Paris. He just got relected with a comfortable majority. The majority of people want this, even though some may complain loudly.
Its not because they can not compete with them. The hole german economy depends on the car brands. Without them germany is nothing. Why they should allow chinese brands to sell their cars in europe? China did not allow german brands to sell in china without producing them in china together with chinese companys. The shere were also 51% for the chinese company and 49% for the germen ones. My opinion is chinese brands should be allowed to sell cars in europe only if they produce their cars in germany like china made it with german brands. Not producing them in eat europe like hungary because no hungary car brand produced ever in china
I have mixed feelings about this video. The way cars are presented only focuses on CO₂ emissions. But greenhouse gas emissions isn't the only issue caused by car mobility. Fatalities, car parking, noise, arrogance of space, even urban sprawl, are just some of the car-related issues. And walking or cycling try to solve these problems too. Moreover, the development of public transportation outside of Paris has never been so quick and efficient. Only in June 2024, 20 kilometers of metro and 8 kilometers of regional metro have been (or will be) added to the network. To present “Grand Paris Express” as a failure because “it won't open until 2030” is wrong: some lines will open in 2025, 2026 and 2028. And don't even mention the tram network, with 14 lines among which many are under extension. In addition, the distinction between “progressive Paris” promoting urban transportation and “conservative suburbs” promoting cars in a nonsense. The Île-de-France regional government is by far the most mass transit promoting local government in Europe. And develops a regional scheme for a bike network, whose first line was opened in 2024.
Love it. But the price around 24K€, sound a little on the expensive side, but then, it would probably be dirt cheap to run. But a little longer range, would be nice.
Anyone complaining about traffic IS part of the problem because they ARE part if the traffic. Imagine how congested Paris would be if all those cyclists had their own cars.
You need a law that says cyclics has to keep to the right on shared streets. - Law in Denmark. It is not safe with bicycles on both sides of cars, trucks, busses etc.
Until there is a big improvement in battery technology, Tesla and byd will be battling it out for a shrinking market, irregardless of what the governments try to shove down our throats
Fun fact. The Albanian minister was driving a stolen Mercedes as it turned out during a routine control in Greece Its estimated 40% of Mercedes in Albania are stolen
