Vehicle particulates do not just come from the emission system. Tyres also create fine particles that can affect the environment, cause air pollution and create health problems. Yet unlike emissions, there is no easy way to manage tyre particulates. Autovista24 editor Phil Curry and deputy editor Tom Geggus discuss the problem with particulates, the role of electric vehicles, and solutions the automotive industry is working on.

Car companies are on a mission to lower the carbon emissions of their vehicles. But simply swapping out internal-combustion engines (ICEs) is not enough. The entire vehicle lifecycle must be considered. This includes the design, material sourcing, manufacturing, recycling, and time on the road. Autovista24 journalist Rebeka Shaid, editor Phil Curry, and deputy editor Tom Geggus discuss the green efforts of car companies.

As the automotive industry embraces electric vehicles (EVs) and new car technologies, OEMs are constantly developing their electrification plans. Targets and deadlines for electrified cars, connected-car systems, and autonomous vehicles are shifting on a yearly basis as OEMs prepare to introduce new powertrains. Autovista24 deputy editor Tom Geggus, and editor Phil Curry, cover the latest developments of Stellantis, Hyundai and Kia.

With Russia escalating its aggression towards Ukraine into an invasion, severe sanctions are inevitable. Depending on how the situation plays out in the coming weeks or months, the European automotive market will see an impact as well. In this special episode, Autovista24 editor Phil Curry, Autovista Group chief economist Christof Engelskirchen, and Autovista Group director of valuations Roland Strilka discuss the possible scenarios for the industry.
