Volkswagen Beetle enthusiasts took part in a vehicle parade in Mexico City on Sunday (23 June) - a day after the car model's international day was celebrated. The Beetle, or 'Vocho' as it’s known in Mexico, may have been discontinued years ago, but restored and remade vintage models roll on in the Mexican capital, where they remain highly popular. In the northern neighborhood of Cuautepec, classic Beetles still line the streets - so much so that the area has been nicknamed 'Vocholandia.' For the residents of Cuautepec, these iconic cars are here to stay - for as long as physically possible.

It will link Roedby on the Danish side to Puttgarten in Germany, with onward connections by road and r...

China has decried an EU decision to hike tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles as "a blatant act of protectionism". The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, said that starting from early July, it would impose provisional tariffs that would slap Chinese automakers with additional duties as high as 38%, up from the current level of 10%, if talks with China do not lead to an effective solution. Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yadong blasted the move on Thursday. “It will not only damage the legitimate rights and interests of China's electric vehicle industry, disrupt the mutua...

For decades, the People's Republic of China has lavished domestic companies with public money to fulfill the long-term economic objectives established by the government. Among the current priorities is the development of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), a sector that is fast expanding as nations transition towards climate neutrality.

In Germany, the automo...

"This law stipulates you cannot give indications that mislead consumers ... a car called Milano must be produced in Italy." The car is now called ...

The European elections are approaching and with them the usual hand-wringing about a lack of interest from the electorate. The European Union is a behemoth, involved in so many things that even the biggest political enthusiasts find it difficult to keep track.

But sometimes, breaking down a simple example can be the most effective way to highlight the EU’s impact on our lives. What are low emission zones?One example of an EU initiative that af...
