A hotter version of the new 3008 it has long been on Peugeot's table but only recently have the French decided to proceed with its implementation.

TEXT: IRINI MOUSTAKARIA

There are some misgivings on the French side about how to approach a new one, hotter, edition. Some talk about simply putting a GTI logo and others, like Laurent Blanchet, Peugeot Product Manager, for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with the extra addition of the letters GT. A hybrid is a sports car, but the GTI logo is more suited to small hatchback cars. Right now one 3008 GTI is something that should not be done. Ant’ of this we could use the GT logo. The PHEV we are preparing will be available with a gasoline engine 1.6 THP that in combination with the electric motor will deliver 300 about horsepower. It will also have four-wheel drive while covering the 100 kilometers from a standstill in less than six seconds'. Blanchet did not shy away from pointing out that this version is about two years away from today: The 3008 with this technology it will be ready 2019 and then we will develop a PHEV for our entire range'.

Mercedes-Benz lands us in reality and drops the ball on Tesla

Because all car manufacturers indulge in recent p’ an impressive game about self-propelled vehicles and the feats they perform every day in the workshops and on the roads, Mercedes-Benz decided to put things right. It supports, Well, that fully autonomous vehicles will become a reality in at least ten years.
The German brand's Head of Test Identification, Jochen Haab, revealed that self-driving systems are currently bogged down’ between the level 2 and 3 and they are far from flat 5 which is the top.
'To have that level of automation where you sit in the car at point X and tell it to go to point P - you might as well have programmed it in advance- the moment you write on your laptop and it tells you in a short time 'ok you can download', ten years away from becoming a reality’ says Haab. And it complements: It is still late for the level systems to be installed 5 in such cars. The only exception is Tesla, which has already installed them and is conducting its official tests..
Now we are not sure if the German is pointing at’ this way his admiration for Tesla or throws down the gauntlet to present its achievements. It is known that the Germans have been accusing the American company of misleading marketing and empty words for years now. Haab in fact, he does not hesitate to send a message in any direction: 'We are of the opinion 'either the best or nothing’ and we leave nothing to chance'.   Continue to the source…

140.000 Έλληνες ζουν στη Βόρεια Ρηνανία Βεστφαλία. Πρόκειται για τη μεγαλύτερη ελληνική κοινότητα στην Ευρώπη, ενώ στο Ντίσελντορφ ο αριθμός τους έχει φθάσει τις 14.000.   Η έντονη παρουσία του ελληνικού στοιχείου στην περιοχή στάθηκε η αφορμή για τον Έλληνα πρόξενο, Γρηγόρη Δελαβέκουρα, να στήσει το πρώτο ελληνικό Φεστιβάλ στην καρδιά της πόλης, μπροστά από το δημαρχείο και λίγα μέτρα από τις όχθες του Ρήνου. Παρόμοια φεστιβάλ, όπως το ιαπωνικό ή το γαλλικό, έχουν ήδη μακρόχρονη παρουσία στην πόλη.   «Ο στόχος είναι κατ’ αρχήν να ξαναθυμηθούμε όλα αυτά που μας ενώνουν, γιατί τα τελευταία χρόνια η κάλυψη της Ελλάδας ήταν σε σχέση με την κρίση. Με αυτή τη γιορτή θυμίζουμε πως η Ελλάδα είναι πολύ περισσότερα. Έχουμε εδώ πολιτισμό, έχουμε ελληνικά προϊόντα, έχουμε φιλοξενία ελληνική, όλα αυτά είναι πολύ όμορφα και φέρνουν τους ανθρώπους κοντά» είπε στην Deutsche Welle ο κ. Δελαβέκουρας.   Και η αλήθεια είναι πως το τετραήμερο φεστιβάλ ξεκίνησε με τους καλύτερους οιωνούς, έχοντας σύμμαχο έναν ήλιο λαμπερό και θερμοκρασίες που θύμιζαν Ελλάδα. Παραγωγοί από τις τέσσερις περιφέρειες της χώρας που συμμετείχαν φέτος, την Πελοπόννησο, τη Μακεδονία, την Ήπειρο και τη Στερεά Ελλάδα, και ιδιωτικές επιχειρήσεις παρουσίασαν ανάμεσα σε άλλα, olive oil, κρασί, μέλι, σταφίδες αλλά και τυποποιημένα προϊόντα όπως σάλτσες και τυριά.   Continue at source ...
