Episode description
Major carmakers have made clear their powertrain priorities. Meanwhile, production planning has been carried out as companies make cutbacks. Autovista24 journalist Tom Hooker takes a look at the week’s automotive headlines.

What action has Tesla taken over EU tariffs on battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) made in China? What is the latest on the potential Nissan-Honda merger? Finally, will BEVs last as long as internal-combustion engine (ICE) vehicles?
