We started with only 30 people. The engineers earned twice as much as I did, and when we took a taxi instead of the bus, we had to justify it," recalls his wife Stella Li, vice president of the Chinese group and the face of the brand internationally, in Les Echos. #BYD #VoitureÉlectrique #MondialAutomobile (translated)

The author wrote that German engineering has turned Turkey and China into drone powers. He referred to a recurring German pattern of first inventing something, then failing, and finally just watching. He called this one of the most uncomfortable truths of German armaments and education policy. #Ingenieurskunst #Drohnen #Bildungspolitik #DE #TR #CN (translated)

Miss Eve criticized BMW over reports that the car manufacturer withdrew its leasing offer for the new President of the Saxony-Anhalt Parliament on the day of his election. If this is true, the question arises as to whether BMW makes business decisions dependent on the party affiliation of an officeholder, she wrote. She argued that for a company car funded by public means, efficiency and the requirements of the office should count. At the same time, she accused BMW of possibly applying political criteria in selecting customers and warned that these could choose other manufacturers. Miss Eve wrote that she drives a BMW 430i M Sport Coupe, but her leasing contract will soon expire. She could then choose another brand. In the event that BMW excludes customers because of their political views, she noted there are 60.5 million eligible voters in Germany, 30.5 percent potential AfD voters, and 18.5 million disgruntled customers. #BMW #Automobilindustrie #Kundenservice (translated)

Marianne Zwagerman reported that a symposium on nitrogen policy was canceled. According to her, Sjoukje Heimovaara, director of Wageningen University and previously suggested by Zwagerman as a candidate for the position of Minister of Agriculture on behalf of D66, personally intervened. Heimovaara allegedly called the engineering association that organized the congress and said that she did not want it to take place. Zwagerman said that several people who were scheduled to speak confirmed this to her. https://t.co/NvlT061OiY #stikstofbeleid #WageningenUniversiteit #congres (translated)

Sander Sassen wrote that the government imposed a coercive measure again according to him. He stated that a gas-fired boiler was cheaper, more sustainable, and less burdensome for the environment than the alternative, and said that engineers could easily calculate this. He urged the minister to end the climate policy. #klimaat #milieu #energietransitie (translated)

Sander Sassen wrote to the minister that the measure was, in his opinion, another form of government coercion. He stated that a gas-fired central heating boiler was cheaper, more sustainable, and less burdensome for the environment, and that any engineer could calculate this on one A4 sheet. Sassen called for an end to what he called climate madness. #klimaat #duurzaamheid #overheid (translated)

Maranello Paddock wrote that Lewis Hamilton had formed a team of engineers at Ferrari that included people outside the historical circle of the Scuderia. According to the post, sources close to the driver described a method different from the usual routine, which relied on his feedback to better identify the car's problems and the priorities to address. The seven-time world champion was also said to have been recruited to help evolve working methods, thanks to his experience in winning teams and his influence. His approach reportedly elicited mixed reactions within the team. The post estimated that the group formed around Hamilton constituted the strongest core of this approach, but the next step was to broaden the consensus. It claimed that Hamilton had leeway to analyze the functioning of the team that Fernando Alonso had not benefited from and that Sebastian Vettel had even less. Carlos Sainz had reportedly established a methodical dialogue with the engineers. According to the post, Hamilton could bring a different experience and contribute to change, a mission that would have been implicit from his arrival. Maranello Paddock also wrote that Charles Leclerc, who had spent his entire career at Ferrari, did not have the same external benchmarks and often had to compensate on track for unresolved issues. However, the post indicated that Leclerc had moved closer to his teammate's perspective, which he found interesting. It was estimated that this convergence could strengthen the drivers' demands if their different approaches led them to face the same difficulties. According to the post, Hamilton's recent statements reflected this evolution: he still wanted changes but had to convince the management to accept new technical practices, using arguments, evidence, and a broader consensus. Maranello Paddock added that he needed to prioritize internal dialogue and avoid putting pressure on Frédéric Vasseur. Discussions about the future of the director could have complicated the process, while support for Vasseur could, according to the post, help continue the changes already underway. Finally, Maranello Paddock called Hamilton's podium finish in Sepang an encouraging sign and estimated that his influence would depend on the ability to extend the method developed with his engineers to the entire team. The post referred to an article by Giuly Duchessa for more information. https://t.co/lzVgcJhYJp) #Ferrari #Hamilton #F1 (translated)

The author stated that INSA, the engineering school in Strasbourg, was blocked this morning for the first time in its history.

Ir. Wouter de Heij described Vincent Kar's story about the impact of more and heavier cars, discussed on WNL Today, as nonsense. According to De Heij, the cause lay more in a shortage of good engineers and an excess of managers at RWS, along with decades of insufficient funds for investments and maintenance. He wrote that this was the result of prolonged 'half-management', where political scientists and lawyers formed the bureaucratic top. De Heij also stated that Marcel Levie was right and that the minister was engaging in issue management. #autos #infrastructuur #belasting (translated)
