In the global market, Audi is leader with a share of 27%, by 26% of Mercedes and 22% of BMW The coronavirus crisis has also affected the sales of the 'premium' brands, and not only due to the almost complete market closure between March 14 and May 11. Between January and June sales of this type of vehicle fell 44% to 60,756 units, due to the 107,791 that were delivered in the first half of 2019. Last year there was a change of leadership in the segment: Mercedes-Benz superseded Audi, absolute dominator of the market for more than a quarter of a century. Within this market niche, the so-called segment A -including utility and compact vehicles- accounts for 49% of total sales. Hence, all brands bet on having more participation. For this reason, Audi has just renewed the A3 with the launch of the fourth generation, which will fight with the Mercedes A-Class and with the BMW 1-Series, the third in contention. The ensign of the star is not far behind and will present the renewal of the GLA, the SUV derived from the A-Class, which is imposed on the Audi Q2 and the BMW X2 in sales. The battle is going to be bitter until the end. In the global market, Audi prevails with a 27% share, for 26% for Mercedes and 22% for BMW. However, in segment A mentioned, it is the ensign of the star that leads, with 43.28% compared to 42.84% for Audi. BMW lags behind with 13.89%. Mercedes, Audi and BMW are the ones that always fight for the total leadership of the 'premium' market because they are the ones with the largest range. Until June Mercedes leads this segment, with 4,104 deliveries, for the 3,883 units marketed by Audi and the 2,965 by BMW, according to data from Anfac, Faconauto and Ganvam

The first manned Dragon spacecraft, dubbed Endeavor, successfully completed its slightly over two-month mission to the International Space Station, with its return to Earth on August 2. This is the first return to Earth of American astronauts on an American spacecraft since the withdrawal of the space shuttle in 2011. Since then, the United States had needed to occupy seats in Russian Soyuzs to travel to the International Space Station. Manned by astronauts Douglas Harley and Robert Behnken, and built and operated by Space X under a space transportation contract for NASA, Endeavor arrived at the orbital complex on May 31 after a flight of just 24 hours, similar to the return trip. . After leaving the International Space Station on the afternoon of August 1, the spacecraft covered several turns to Earth before beginning the exorbitant maneuver at 17.56 UTC on Sunday. After reentry into the atmosphere, the capsule with the crew landed with parachute assistance at 18.48 GMT in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, as planned and in good weather conditions. A recovery ship was waiting for them to transfer to the mainland. As planned and without problems, the capsule landed on the surface of the sea. SpaceX's Navigator ship was only about three nautical miles from the site to handle the retrieval of the ship, which will be placed on its deck. The two astronauts, who are "fine," an NAA spokeswoman said during the live broadcast of the end of the Demo-2 mission, will undergo medical checkups before traveling by air to Houston, Texas. This ended the historic Demo-2 mission, which began in late May in Cape Canaveral (Florida) and which will certify the ability of SpaceX, Elon Musk's company, to carry out commercial space travel. It is the first landing of an American manned spacecraft in 45 years, since the end of the Apollo program. The space shuttle did this until 2011, but on an airstrip. The second mission of a manned Dragon is scheduled for the spring of 2021. On that occasion, it will fly with four people.

Auto company Tesla has sued fellow electric vehicle maker Rivian for unfair competition, as the firm chaired by Elon Musk claims Rivian would have misled Tesla employees to obtain confidential company information. In a lawsuit against filed in a state court in San Jose, California, Tesla accuses Rivian of developing an "alarming scheme" to lure his employees to obtain confidential information. "Misappropriating Tesla's competitive and useful confidential information when leaving Tesla for a new company is obviously wrong and risky," the complaint said. For his part, Rivian has assured that the demand is "without foundation" and that these behaviors go against the "culture, spirit and corporate policies" of the company. According to DPA, the complaint also mentions four former Tesla employees, who allegedly had brought confidential company information when they joined Rivian. "Upon arriving at Rivian we require all employees to confirm that they have not and will not introduce the intellectual property of former companies in which they have worked," they claimed from Rivian. "Rivian is a small startup looking to enter the electric vehicle market. Tesla is the world's leading manufacturer of electric vehicles. As expected, Rivian draws heavily from the ranks of Tesla, something that, when made of fairly, Tesla respects as legitimate competitive conduct, "Tesla said in a statement.

The accident occurred when the convoy collided with a catenary revision vehicle. Another twenty people have suffered wounds of various kinds. Portuguese President Rebelo de Sousa presents his "condolences to the relatives and friends of the fatalities" At least two people have been killed and six serious injuries this Friday, in the derailment of a passenger train near Soure, in central Portugal, as reported by the country's Civil Protection. Another 20 people have been slightly injured, reports Efe. The high-speed train has derailed after colliding with a catenary overhaul and maintenance vehicle. The train accident, which carried 212 passengers on board, occurred at 15:30 in the town of Soure, 30 kilometers from Coimbra. Soure Mayor Mario Nunes has claimed that the two fatalities were working on the rails when the accident occurred, Reuters reports. The train driver is among the most seriously injured. The Alfa Pendular high-speed convoy connects Lisbon to Braga, in the north of the country, and has stops in Coimbra and Porto, the main Portuguese cities, reports France-Presse. The train can reach 220 kilometers per hour, although local media suggest that it was slower, since it had made a recent stop, according to Efe. An important device has been mobilized, with more than 220 rescue and firefighters and two helicopters, to secure and evacuate the victims. The spokesperson for the Coimbra Rescue Operations Committee has stated that more rescue teams are arriving at the scene and that a field hospital has been erected at the scene of the accident to initially care for those affected, who are then transferred to the Coimbra University Hospital. The President of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, has presented his "condolences to the relatives and friends of the fatalities", and has described the events as "a serious accident", in a message published on the Presidency website.

The company plans to reduce these losses in the second half but highlights the uncertainty caused by the outbreaks. Seat has suffered strongly from the stoppage of activity caused by the Covid pandemic. The operating result for the first half of the year showed a loss of 271 million euros. In the same period of 2019, Seat earned 216 million euros. This means that in the second quarter the Spanish company lost 223 million. In this period it suffered the cessation of activity in its main European markets, including Spain where its main factory, that of Martorell, was stopped from March 13 to mid-May. "Seat has suffered strongly from the effects of Covid in key markets such as Spain and other European countries," according to Volkswagen Group Chief Financial Officer Frank Witter. This slowdown in activity has also been reflected in sales that fall almost half since in these first six months it has sold 197,000 cars for the 310,000 it marketed in the first half of 2019. This has caused revenues to have fallen dramatically to 3,749 million from the 6,266 million obtained in the first half of 2019. These results were known during the presentation of results of the Volkswagen group, owner of the Spanish company, in the first half of 2020. The German consortium obtained a negative operating result of 1,490 million euros. "We cannot know when or how the second wave of Covid will affect many regions," Witter said. "There will be recovery and we will work hard to get the best figures, but we do not know what that recovery will be like," explained the head of finance at Volkswagen.

The Civil Guard located him this Wednesday on the M-404, a few kilometers from the place where the events occurred The Civil Guard has located hidden in the M-404, in the trailer of a beer delivery truck, the vehicle that was allegedly used in the fatal accident in El Álamo that resulted in the death of two people. In the afternoon of this Wednesday, this car, a black BMW, was located at kilometer 15 of the M-404, between the municipalities of El Álamo and Serranillos del Valle, according to the armed institute. Investigators are now analyzing the tourism found and collecting evidence to verify its relationship to last month's outrage, although, in principle, both the color and the model agree with the version pointed out by the witnesses to the event. Last Sunday night a party was held in El Álamo between two family clans, some from the Madrid neighborhoods of Vallecas and Moratalaz and others from the Navalcarnero settlement. The celebration ended in a brawl, with a first hit with at least three wounded, including a child. The Civil Guard located two days ago the vehicle with which this first run-in was carried out. Later, already in the early hours of Monday, a fatal crash at kilometer 6 of the M-404, left two fatalities and left an 18-year-old girl in hospital serious. The deceased are a young couple of 27 and 28 years old from Vallecas who attended the party as a guest and had four children, according to what their relatives have declared. While the owner of the bar and relatives have explained that the brawl was a confrontation over the music that was playing at the party, investigators do not rule out that in addition to that problem, there were previous disagreements between the clans.

An operating margin target of 4.5% is set for the period between 2019 and 2021 The PSA Group managed to avoid losses in the first half of the year, posting a net profit of 376 million euros, which represents a decrease of 81.6% compared to the same period of the previous year, according to data published on Tuesday by the company. The president of the consortium, Carlos Tavares, affirmed that the semiannual results show the "resilience" of the company and stressed that they are "a reward" for six consecutive years of intense work to increase agility and lower the 'break even'. "We are determined to achieve a solid recovery in the second half and complete the birth of Stellantis before the first quarter of 2021," said the head of the French multinational. Between January and June, PSA recorded revenues of 25,120 million euros, which translates into a decrease of 34.4% in the year-on-year comparison, while operating profit was 482 million euros, 96.7% less . The component manufacturing division Faurecia obtained current operating losses of 159 million euros, with a turnover of 3,739 million euros, 13.5% less, while Banque PSA Finance registered a current operating profit of 463 million, 9 , 7% less. For the whole of 2020, the company estimates that the European market will fall 25%, with a 30% collapse in Russia, while its estimate is that registrations drop 10% in both China and Latin America. The PSA Group aims to achieve an average current operating margin above 4.5% for the automobile division in the period between 2019 and 2021.

Investigators confirm that the plot was used for two years by Christian Brückner, the main suspect in the kidnapping and murder of the British girl. German police use a bulldozer on the plot used by the suspect The German police have found in the plot that excavates in the vicinity of Hannover a connection to the case of the British girl Madeleine McCann: a secret underground chamber. The information has been advanced by the Bild newspaper and private television RTL, citing sources of the investigation, although this point has not been confirmed by the Prosecutor's Office. It has been confirmed that the plot in question was used by the main suspect in her disappearance and death, Christian Brückner, in 2017. It is currently abandoned, plagued by brush that the police have cleared to carry out their work. According to testimonies of the residents of the colony of extra-urban gardens and orchards in which that land is located, Brückner used that place for two years. Permanent residence in these neighborhoods is not allowed by the authorities, although the construction of cabins for tools and, eventually, some overnight stays. In declarations to local media, several neighbors assure that in the Brückner plot there was a cabin before it was abandoned and that he used to pass by with two dogs or to make a barbecue. The main suspect in the Madeleine case, however, lived in a trailer located in an industrial area just 4 kilometers from the plot. At that time I worked in a mechanical workshop. In the reconstruction of the movements that Brückner made after the disappearance of the little girl in the Portuguese Algarve, the investigation has confirmed that the pedophile later moved to the city of Braunschweig, just 60 kilometers from Hannover. There he opened a kiosk with who at that time was his partner. When the relationship ended, Brückner continued the business for only a year. In the vicinity of that town, Brückner buried one of his dead dogs. Under the body of the animal, the police found a USB with images of child pornography. The plot excavated since Monday by agents of the Federal Criminal Office with the support of the Scientific Police measures about 20 square meters. The officers, who have erected a fence around the perimeter to prevent them from being observed in their work by the many media outlets that have gathered at the site, have two small diggers to remove the terrain and tracking dogs. As far as the informants who have concentrated in the vicinity of that plot can see, it is only being excavated in one place and at a depth of almost two meters. Two tents have been installed where the collected samples are supposedly being analyzed. "WE STILL CONVINCED OF GUILT" Just a few days ago, the prosecutor in charge of the case, Christian Wolters, stated that "I cannot predict the outcome of the investigation, but we remain convinced of Brückner's guilt and hope to find forensic evidence to prove it." The Braunschweig Public Prosecutor's Office, which is responsible for the case as Brückner's last known place of residence, is investigating against the clock. The suspect was convicted of drug trafficking in 2011, a sentence he is currently serving in a Kiel city prison. He will have fully served his sentence at the end of December, so if there is no formal accusation against him, and so far there is not, he will be released. A conviction for rape in Portugal of a 72-year-old American is pending, but the process is under review, so the sentence is pending.

"Enjoy it, but remember: you carry 1,000 horses." These were the last instructions they gave me just before I left the SF90 Stradale through the historic gate of the Ferrari factory, on Via Abertone number 4 in Maranello. The first street model came out there 73 years ago with the prancing horse in front. Now another historic car was crossing that arch. Because the SF90 Stradale writes new chapters in the trajectory of the most prestigious sports car manufacturer on the planet and we have been the only Spanish publishing group to test it. It is the first plug-in hybrid Ferrari and the only one that can be powered solely by electricity, the most powerful of all street models ... and the fastest on the track. Because the clock (1:18) has placed the SF90 one second below the LaFerrari, which had the best record in Fiorano, the circuit in which each red model shows its worth. Perhaps that is why, at Ferrari they have placed this car at the height of the most legendary in its entire history. At the level of its so-called Supercars, the Olympus of the brand in which only the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo and LaFerrari have a place. Unlike these, the SF90 will not be produced in a limited series, but will be marketed without hindrance, with a price for Spain of 481,598 euros. A UNIQUE FEEL We are not talking, although we could, about going out to try a unique Ferrari like the SF90 Stradale (SF90 is the name of the F1 car with which the 90th anniversary of the Scudería Ferrari was commemorated and Stradale is the Italian word that refers to the versions street model competition) by the most iconic point of the factory. We do it because our exit to the streets of Maranello was made ... in complete silence. Our mount, with 1,000 horsepower, had almost the same as the SF1000 with which Charles Leclerc had awakened days before to the town that houses the heart of Ferrari, but we were able to cover the first kilometers in complete silence. The inhabitants of Maranello, where red is religion, were not surprised by it, although it was noted that the SF90 Stradale was still quite new to their eyes. Undoubtedly, one of the most contradictory sensations of the day we spent with the beast was that: that of silently riding through the surrounding towns. And it is possible because the heart of the SF90 is a complex hybrid system that consists of a gasoline twin-turbo V8 engine and a rear electric unit that come together to drive the rear wheels and two other electric motors on the front axle, which are the only ones that can govern the previous train, therefore generating electric total traction. The 'pile' is a 8 kWh battery (actually 6.5 useful) and weighs 72 kilos located just behind the driving position, own development of Ferrari. Here we must stop to explain some keys to the RAC-e (Rotaion Axle Control Electric), the name that Ferrari has given to the SF90's electric front axle. He is in charge of propelling the car in clean mode, but he is also the one who drives the car when we reverse it (quiet, there is a back up in case we run out of battery) ... and something more important: an ally even in track thanks to the vector torque control that allows the right force to be sent to each wheel with millimeter precision and a speed that escapes the human brain. And this is a vital element in its performance on track ... apart from making driving this 'little angel' much more affordable, which has nothing to do, without going any further, with that of the 812 Superfast, much more nervous and stressful. Interestingly, the Ferrari engineers have decided that the RAC-e will uncouple from 210 km / h, since in those situations we will normally roll in a straight line or the curves will be of such an open radius that we will not need your support to control the car, nor will there be excess power or torque behind. We will roll in silence in two situations. One: when we select the Electric program of the e-manettino, a second selector (tactile and located to the right of the steering wheel, perpendicular to the dynamic manettino) for the different propeller programs. We will enjoy 25 kilometers of autonomy and we will be able to reach 135 km / h with the force of the battery, which recharges in two hours (it does not support fast charging, but we can do it running through the thermal engine with a Recharge program that is select from the menus). And the other, when the electronics decide it within the Hybrid program, the one that the car selects by default when starting and where the action of all the motors is combined depending on the driving circumstance, without us having to do anything. THE BEAST WAKES UP In Hybrid mode the V8 is already felt when needed. At first, its rumble is very shocking to break the previous silence, but with the passage of kilometers her music is the best travel companion. It is an evolution engine of the F8 Tribute but with so many changes that Ferrari almost talk about a new engine. For example, the injectors are mounted in the center of the combustion chamber, the cylinder capacity grows to 4 liters due to the increase in the piston diameter (from 86 to 88 mm), the injection pressure increases to 350 bar, the turbos they are more efficient ... It is even 25 kilos lighter and, in addition, its center of gravity is 15 mm lower. Consequently, its power increases from 720 to 780 horsepower and the torque increases from 780 to 800 Nm. All in all, the true symphony is in the combination of all these elements in favor of maximum efficiency and driving pleasure. In addition to the 780 CV of the thermal motor, there are 220 that can be provided by electric motors, but not only this: it is also necessary to manage the action of the traction control, the vector distribution of front torque, the electronic brake, the performance of the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox (the first in Ferrari with this number of ratios, 10 kilos lighter and which reduces consumption by 8%) ... This is handled by the eSSC (Electronic Side Slip Control) system . THE NUMBERS 'SING', THE SENSATIONS IMPRESS From 0 to 100 in 2.5 seconds (in just 30 meters it reaches that speed), from 0 to 200 in 6.7, maximum speed of 350 km / h ... Said like that, it sounds brutal, but reality surpasses the numbers . On our road route we could already get an idea of its potential, because there was not a long enough section to get the most out of the SF90. "La vettura e fortissima", the test pilot warned us before leaving us the keys ... and he was not exaggerating. We have never felt such wild acceleration at the controls of something with wheels (it must be closer than an astronaut feels when taking off) and the sound of the engine when we circle the red zone must resemble that of a tyrannosaurus rex bellowing at our ears. But without giving fear, pure pleasure. Luckily, the afternoon included a tanda on the Fiorano track, where we could more safely squeeze those 1,000 magical horses. However ... the feeling was the same. Anything other than an airfield runway will fall short of the SF90, such is its dynamic opulence. It is here that it is mandatory to activate the Performance or Qualifying modes of the e-manettino, where the V8 is always operational. The second squeezes every last drop of all thrusters, but only for a few laps ... as was the case. Apart from this, we could see that it is a more affordable car to the limit -at least to ours- than other Ferrari. Its traction capacity is surprising for a four-digit power and the action of the front axle is noticeable, especially in the two slow corners of Fiorano in which the SF90 is obediently inscribed ... as long as we do not dare to remove the traction and stability controls, in which case skidding is guaranteed. In the rapids we will get closer to its grip limits the more faith we have in its ability to add lateral Gs. A detail that we collected on the track will express better than our words the nobility of the SF90. The head of track development of the car, a Spanish engineer settled in Italy since the time of Fernando Alonso, confessed to us that he himself, without being a professional pilot, had managed to shoot very, very close to that 1:18 in Fiorano. It is true that the fast lap corresponds to an SF90 with the optional Assetto Fiorano package (and that 50% of customers automatically request, as well as the racing decoration) which further refines the athletic qualities of the Italian supercar. It includes aluminum Multimatic shock absorbers developed by Ferrari Competizione GT, various carbon interior and exterior parts that reduce weight by 30 kilos and an active spoiler that generates 390 kilos of downforce at less speed, at 250 km / h. An SF90 without this kit would roll three tenths slower. We cannot fail to mention an important innovation: the electronic by wire brake, without mechanical connection between the pedal and the discs. Everything is done with electrical impulses and, although we traveled with the prejudice that it could be a problem, nothing is further from reality. The SF90 brakes with a lot of power, the pedal has a solid feel and is easy to dose, both on the road and on the track. A FERRARI P OF THE 21ST CENTURY It does not have such voluptuous forms as that of the P3 and P4 that wrote historical pages in competition for Ferrari (both in Le Mans and Daytona) but the SF90 does draw inspiration from them to create a new image, that of the future of Ferrari . There are many things that attract attention. In the nose, the headlights take on new shapes, a light signature (with three horizontal bands as daylight) ... and technology, since it uses led arrays for the first time. In addition, underneath they hide a channel that cools the brakes, complementing the calipers with their own internal duct, a solution taken from Formula 1 that reduces the temperature of the brakes by 15 degrees. The cabin is well advanced and the rear, seen from the profile, has several cuts. The engine is one step below where the roof ends and also under the spoiler that includes an integrated mobile spoiler that is capable of generating up to 390 kilos of aerodynamic support at 300 km / h ... or 250 in the Assetto Fiorano version. The area of the motor cover (transparent and openable from the inside) does not completely close the opening, but there is a channel for cooling, in addition to the surrounding circular holes. The need for breathing is greater in this hybrid heart SF90 since while the leaks reach temperatures above 1,000 degrees, the electrical elements have to stay ... at the temperature of the human body. Hence also the air flows behind from the sides of the front mustache itself to the air intakes of the rear fins. A good part of the carving of the car has responded to this. The rear includes a spectacular diffuser, the outputs of the exhausts, higher than usual, and again drivers who abandon the traditional round forms of the Ferrari, something that Roma had already begun to target. INTERNAL REVOLUTION Inside, we enter a new world at Ferrari. Steering wheel, screens, bottom of the center console ... Everything is new. The watch box is the first curved display of a production car, with 16 inches diagonal and multiple display options: from the usual one, with the tachometer in the center and the hybrid indications on the right to another with the navigator at full speed. screen ... or even one that summarizes our trip by turning off the engine, with the maximum performance obtained. The steering wheel is an evolution of the last, with all the controls included in it (turn signals, lights, clean and, of course, the manettino in which we select the dynamic modes -Wet, Sport, Race, CT Off and ESC Off-) to which must be added the e-manettino that, by means of a haptic command, allows us to change the engine programs already mentioned above (Electric, Hybrid, Performance and Qualifying). Another novelty is the touch controls located on the edges of the arms. We will especially use the one on the right, with a box that we manage as a 'joystick' to navigate between the menus and the View Max key to enlarge the size of the main information that we have selected. We have encountered two problems here. The precision of the tactile 'joystick' is not very good, although we could possibly end up taking the trick, but what we are not going to be able to avoid is touching the Max key with the palm in the turns or if we relax the position of the hand a little. It is very easy to touch it involuntarily. It inherits from the Tribute or the Superfast the additional screen for the passenger, but it is a novelty, and much appreciated, the good taste with which the center console area is resolved. The buttons for the automatic transmission have been arranged in the shape of an H, like the classic manual gearboxes of reijlla, a very wise decision. No less than the new square key with the Ferrari logo occupying its entire main face and the model name on the reverse. In addition, it fits just below the grille, letting the prancing horse shine in another detail worthy of applause. We could tell you a thousand more things: for example, that the front part of the cockpit, in the foot area, goes more than 15 mm higher to be able to mount a vortex generator that provides 30% more donwforce. Or that the wheels, by design alone, achieve 5% more aerodynamic efficiency. Or that the spoiler has 66% lighter actuators. Or that it is the first Ferrari with head-up-display (which, incidentally, includes curious information such as the angle of the next curve expressed in level of difficulty) ... And it is that the SF90 Stradale is made to the last detail. How could it be otherwise when we refer to a car destined to have a place next to the largest in the history of Ferrari.

The municipalities will be in charge of monitoring compliance with the restriction and imposing sanctions The Generalitat of Catalonia has decided to ban the large bottle to stop the outbreaks of Covid-19 in the community. The "shared consumption of alcoholic beverages on public roads" will be sanctioned with between 3,000 and 15,000 euros. Although it is the Generalitat who imposes the ban, it will be the municipalities that must control compliance with the order and sanction its non-compliance. Although the practice of the bottle was already prohibited in many Catalan municipalities, the Generalitat has decided to extend the ban to the entire region. This new ban comes just four days after the Generalitat ordered the closing of discos and dance halls and limited the opening of restaurants and terraces until midnight. Alcohol consumption had moved to the streets, squares and beaches of Catalonia, hence the new restriction of the Catalan Government.

[AUTO] The Renault Zoe exceeds the Tesla Model 3 in sales
YaKuZa--BoSs posted a topic in Auto / Moto
Europe stands up to its dominating empire of Elon Musk with its electric and economic boost. Renault reported surprising news: sales of its pure electric Zoe increased by almost 50%. With the registration of 37,540 units throughout the first semester, the 100% urban car of the brand of the diamond became the best-selling battery-powered car in Europe ... assaulting the first position retained by the Tesla Model 3. A joy to the after all. It does not compensate for the loss of 41% of its general sales in the first half of 2020, but it can be a boost to the electrified products that the French brand is going to launch soon, although there is no manufacturer that is not ready. of launching pure plug-ins and electric hybrids. In June, the Zoe brushed the 11,000 orders, shortly after the Governments of Franca and Germany decreed, together with other European countries, subsidies of up to 13,000 and 9,000 euros, respectively, for the purchase of battery-powered vehicles. The Renault Zoe has surpassed the Tesla Model 3, the Golf-e and the Nissan Leaf. The renewal of the Zoe, which has improved in all aspects, but fundamentally in its autonomy (officially, 395 km WLTP), has undoubtedly played a role in the escalation, but even more important has been the claim of the aid plans that European governments are financing to encourage the sale of electricity. GERMANY AND FRANCE The effect of the aid was immediate. In Germany, the best-selling electric is being the Volkswagen Golf-e, but with a slight advantage over the Renault ZOE: 7,320 units between January and June compared to 7,066 for the Zoe and the Tesla Model 3 off the hook in third position with 4,367 deliveries. In fourth position the Audi e-Tron (3,233 sales) approaches the German podium. In the same period last year, Elon Musk's car was largely dominated, but it is already clear that the battle for the electric triumph is going to be more difficult in Europe than in the rest of the continents. In France, practically the same number of electrified cars were sold in the first six months of 2020 as in the 12 months of 2019. In the comparison of the semester, the rise is 108% and the podium of 100% electric is dominated by the Zoe with 6,012 units registered. The Peugeot e-208 is second but far from the Renault (2,127) and third is the electric Hyundai Kona with 674 deliveries. In Spain, government aid will surely begin to show in the data for this month of July. In the first half of the year, the drop in sales occurred in all segments and in all channels.-

The possible contagion affects a North Korean "fled" who arrived on July 19 in the city of Kaesong, bordering the South, after having crossed the militarized demarcation that separates the two countries. North Korea has detected its first "suspected" case of coronavirus in a deserter who returned to the country after fleeing to the South, a fact that has led the regime to adopt the "maximum emergency system," state media reported Sunday. The possible contagion affects a "fled" North Korean citizen who arrived on July 19 in the city of Kaesong, bordering the South, after having crossed the militarized demarcation that separates the two countries, according to the North Korean state agency KCNA. . Faced with this situation, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un chaired a meeting of the North Korean Workers Party leadership on the day before, which decided to "completely block" the Kaesong area and move from the "state of emergency against epidemic "to the" maximum emergency system ", according to the KCNA. The patient was placed under "strict quarantine" after undergoing various medical tests with "uncertain results," and North Korean authorities have also tested and isolated all people who had contact with him, the state agency added. "Despite the intense anti-epidemic measures applied in all areas and the strict closure of all routes of entry in the last six months, there has been a critical situation whereby the aggressive virus could have entered the country," said Kim during the meeting held this Saturday. In addition to the "total blockade" of Kaesong city, where the inter-Korean liaison office was located, which the North destroyed in mid-June in retaliation for the sending of balloon propaganda by activists from the South, Kim ordered "to isolate other districts and regions "of the country as of Saturday. North Korea had launched its "national emergency system" last January to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus in its territory, leading to the complete closure of its land borders. Although the true situation of the pandemic in the country is unknown, to date the hermetic regime has not officially notified the World Health Organization of any case of Covid-19 in its territory.
