In our Sunday newsletter, we, as editors, reflect on the past seven days. We do this on the initiative of our cartoonist Albert Jan Rasker<\/a>. He chooses a subject, draws a picture, and we take it from there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bernd Maier-Leppla\u2019s column about this year\u2019s IAA Mobility Show in Munich inspired cartoonist Albert Jan Rasker this week. In short, how much the legacy car manufacturers keep trying to improve their combustion engines, the future is electric. Not hybrid, not hydrogen-powered, but battery-electric, that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, a growing percentage of the cars we will use to keep moving ourselves will originate from China. Now already, every 5th car is already a Chinese car. People tend to forget that Polestar, Volvo, and Smart are now running off Chinese assembly lines. And while the IAA is a remnant of the old German car glory (recently moved from Frankfurt to Munich), we can already conclude that if the Chinese had not been at the show, the IAA would have been an extremely dull event, Bernd Maier-Leppla writes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to two student teams, there was more mobility news last week. First, there was the TUfast Eco team from Munich who broke the world record for the longest-range electric car in the world. The team drove more than 2,573 kilometers on a single battery charge. Impressive<\/a>! Then, we saw the Eindhoven University Solar Team students present their off-road solar car. Also: impressive<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For both articles, we asked our AI service to compose a video. You can find them in the articles. They are fully AI-generated and you\u2019ll see more of them with our articles in the coming period. We\u2019re curious about what you think of them, please let us know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the one about the Eindhoven team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
