“Attitude, attitude, attitude…”   Our Pricing & Product team has held the last two days the first face to face townhall meeting in Kassel. We as SEAT | CUPRA, are leading these for all four BGC within the frame of ONE.Aftersales.   We were there 88 people together coming from five different locations, #Kassel, #Hannover, #Wolfsburg, #MladáBoleslav and #Martorell, under the aim of reviewing the status vs. year targets and the strategic projects in place. Main takeaways:   - Enterprice as our new Pricing system already rocketing to the galaxy 😉 and moving through the cyberspace of our HQs at full speed for implementation this year. - The new product management set up already on track: Common approach by HPGs and products with action plans in the top 10 EU markets. - Oil global tender for 2025 already closed and on preparation phase for markets implementation. - Tyre business: New business plan with 6 core fields in place. - New Paint business model involving all Brands and with a market implementation approach. - New steps on #CircularEconomy and sustainability approach, with initiatives for Used Part business and raw materials recycling on Catalytic converters. - #AI and #PowerBI already ON and real within our cluster, delivering new inputs based on identified business use cases.    Thanks to all Presenters and project Leaders on the stage for the presentations and for the high-quality work behind: @RainerHämel, @SteffenBachmann, Kristian Kremer, Juan Sánchez, Frank Leitner, Roman Havlásek, Silvana Guida, Sylke Klapp, Julia Schmidt, Thilo Halbritter, Michael Eigen, Florian Knauer, @ChristianWeilguny, Dr. Matthias Priebe, María Armario Romero, @Volker Rudolph, Anna Mateos Sabaté.

If you look at the last three generations of Conti winter tyres, almost anyone in the industry could guess the next name in the range ‘WinterContact TS 850’ (2012), ‘WinterContact TS 860’ (2015) and ‘WinterContact TS 870’ (2020/2021). But we would all be wrong. As was previously the case with its summer tyres and the ‘EcoContact 7’ and ‘EcoContact 7 S’ models, the manufacturer has now also introduced a new winter profile without making a big fuss about it, which, contrary to the naming convention previously used for its winter tyres, is called ‘WinterContact 8 S’. The ‘S’ in the name obviously stands for sport, as the manufacturer describes the model as its sportiest winter tyre to date. https://lnkd.in/et7quNTx

🏎️ Formula 1 is known for super-quick pit stops where, in mere seconds, teams must swap out tires, make mechanical repairs, and adjustments to the car. Just like a Formula 1 team relies on a well-planned pit stop strategy to stay competitive, adopting a platform-based approach to designing and deploying networks can be your winning formula.

It’s happening… Smashing out 560kg on the leg press (I promise 👀) and I notice a Honeywell Gent self-testing alarm hanging above my head at Uni of Leicester gym. When I joined Obsequio Group I vividly remember being told this day would come. You’ll be minding your own business and then suddenly you’ll start noticing fire alarms. I never actually thought it would happen, but I guess when your colleagues at Complete Detection Systems Limited are selected to do some of the first self-testing installs in the UK then it’s hard not to pay attention. The one thing I did always know would come is outside the box thinking - something that drew me to join Obsequio in the first place. In an industry that’s largely stayed the same decade after decade, it’s exciting to be a part of a disruptive change, working with innovative products and people, and having previously come from businesses and products that have typically been easy to market - not sure anyone could say no to a McLaren F1 - finding an industry in need of a ‘shake-up’ is every marketers dream. Learn your trade and then apply it to the place that values it the most, and I’m exciting to play a role in an industry that before now typically hasn’t needed innovate-thinking 🧠

Lightweighting: A Key Component in Opel's Future Strategy Opel showcased its vision for future electric vehicles with an experimental concept car at this year's IAA Mobility in Munich. The crossover model displayed innovative approaches in aerodynamics, infotainment, and lightweighting. The study's highlights include aerodynamic features, a cabin with lightweight seats and lighting, and a new generation of head-up displays. Florian Huettl, CEO of Opel, stated, "The Opel concept car represents everything that Opel and its core brand pillars of 'Green Innovation', 'Detox', and 'Modern Germany' stand for. Being fully electric, it reduces CO2 emissions. Its design is bold and clear, focusing on the essence. The slender and smooth contours also represent efficient packaging. Advanced aerodynamic solutions contribute to this. Ventilation openings at the front and rear, as well as a retractable rear diffuser that adjusts according to driving conditions, enhance aerodynamic efficiency. The intelligent use of space (space detox) creates a particularly airy feel inside the car. Adaptive lightweight seats combine a thin yet robust structure with 3D mesh fabric." #Lightweight #LightweightAsia2024 #aerodynamicfeatures #3Dmeshfabric To learn more about the market trends, stay tuned to Lightweight Asia 2024 Date: 03-05 July 2024 Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Center  Learn more：https://lnkd.in/gid2RGSb
