Car Design News was recently invited over to Lelystad to go behind the scenes at Donkervoort Automobielen, an ultra-exclusive Dutch sportscar manufacturer that has embarked on a new 'design-led' philosophy. This is partly a result of bringing Ford of Europe's design director, Amko Leenarts, on board as an advisory board member, helping to push the compact team forward. Thanks must go to our hosts for the day, Denis Donkervoort, Jordi Wiersma and Laura Van Staaveren, and to Leenarts for additional chauffeuring duties after a visit to Ford Of Europe GmbH in Cologne (more on that to come...)

When the cycling industry meets the automotive industry. Fascinating watching this take shape. #cycling #automotiveindustry #organisation #culture #engineering #manufacturing #product #innovation #businessinnovation #globalindustry #globalbusiness #globaltrade #futuremobility #innovation #collaboration Porsche eBike Performance FAZUA
Committed to quality since day one Effective #quality management is a crucial prerequisite for long-term success. In this field, the automotive industry sets the highest standards, which we at Porsche eBike Performance GmbH are committed to adopt step by step as benchmarks for our organization. Klaus Emerschitz, Leading Quality Strategist at Porsche AG, Tim Wawrzinek, Director Quality at Porsche eBike Performance GmbH, and their agile teams are working hard to make the necessary knowledge transfer happen. Because one thing was crystal clear from the start: the Porsche AG brand’s unwavering quality commitment is not limited to the automotive segment, but for all product categories equally. That’s why we knew the only way forward was a joint way forward! After one year of close collaboration, our key #achievements include: ➡️ Despite different organizational structures (start-up vs. large corporation), both sides benefit from the other’s know-how. Here is where the fast-moving bike market meets tried-and-tested structures. ➡️ Discussing challenges in interdisciplinary teams sparks new ideas, approaches and solutions. This allows projects to be launched in record time. ➡️ Clear-cut potentials for improvement were defined, such as launching 5S campaigns, introducing product audits and performing design reviews for A-sample CAD models. All of these measures pursue one goal: professionalizing the processes in e-bike drive system development. ➡️ From the obligatory catalog of automotive industry, standards, we aim to select the best specifications and adapt them to our needs – a freedom that harbors a huge potential impact on aspects like component prices. ➡️ Finally, the introduction of various AI systems helps automate quality controls and manufacturing compliance testing. #Quality has been our bedrock since day one – that’s why the path we have chosen is of the utmost importance, not least for launching our new Porsche e-bike drive system. #futuremobility #Innovation #PorscheeBikePerformance #ebike #digitalization #Porsche #mobility #connectivity

Why would anyone trade their dragon for a T-Cross? Volkswagen do Brasil has kicked off the advertising campaign for the New T-Cross, Brazil's most beloved and best-selling #SUV, with a lively film packed with pop culture references. Mixing medieval and modern elements, the campaign crafted by AlmapBBDO agency showcases the evolution of cars and reveals that riding a dragon in today's world may not be as practical as it seems. The production underscores that being aboard the #SUVW is always the best choice and welcomes the new model with the motto: "Nice to meet you, New T-Cross." In the 30-second film set to air in Brazil, Argentina, and other Latin American markets, the campaign humorously asks: "Why would anyone trade their dragon for a T-Cross?" The film playfully focuses on the renovate features of the New T-Cross, from its handling to the efficient digital control of the sunroof. Everything designed to make everyday life much more enjoyable, practical, and agile. Let's embark on this exciting journey with the New T-Cross and experience a world where driving a dragon takes a back seat to the thrill of driving this exceptional SUV. #NewTCross 🚗✨ Alexander Seitz Roger Corassa Livia Kinoshita Helena Cristina Oliveira Max Frik Fernando Badia Paula Karoline Veríssimo Diniz
