Renault will become a 100% electric brand in the year 2030. By then, the entire range of passenger cars of the iconic French firm will be made up of electric cars. This has been pointed out by Luca de Meo himself. But what will happen to Dacia? Will it follow in Renault's footsteps? There are very ambitious plans for the transition process towards fully electric mobility. In this last year, a long list of car brands have officially announced in which year they will become an all-electric company. The death of the combustion engine in Europe is getting closer and that is why manufacturers are beginning to take steps to prepare for the future that lies ahead. Renault has been the latest company to join this particular club. Europe has decided to put an end to the combustion engine in 2035. In terms of time, the margin of action that automakers have is very short. That is why all the machinery must be put into operation to successfully complete the transition process towards electric mobility. Renault will be a 100% electric brand in 2030. That is, 5 years before the death of the internal combustion engine materializes in European territory. https://www.motor.es/noticias/renault-coches-electricos-europa-2030-202284169.html

Lamborghini has always been one of my favorite brands. With several posters hanging on my wall, I always dreamed of the idea of getting on one. That childhood dream has come true thanks to the fact that two of his beasts have passed through my hands. Every child's dream is to be able to get into a powerful car and gallop to the beat of the road and an evocative sound. In our earliest childhood, we dream of reaching those moments that rarely occur in adult life. Riding a Lamborghini is a goal, a dream, let alone being able to drive two of its most beastly models. The Lamborghini Urus and the Lamborghini Huracán hang on many walls, but for this time, they have been mine. Ferruccio Lamborghini was a self-made man. Taking today's standards we speak of him as a visionary and an entrepreneur. We all know his story, and I don't want to be the one to bore the audience by telling something we all know. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, the era of the Lamborghini Countach and Diablo. They were both figured decorating my student portfolio, and just seeing one was more than enough reason to have a great day (I don't remember seeing one until I was older). Who was going to tell that little Javier that he would have to wait a few years to be able to drive it? If he had told me I would not have believed it, but it has been. Although Italy is synonymous with Ferrari, the Lamborghini bulls are pure transalpine essence. From its headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese, great figures have come out of the supercar market: Miura, Espada, LM002, Murcielago, Aventador, Gallarod, Huracán and finally Urus, adding the occasional extraordinary unit such as Reventón, Sesto Element, Veneno or Centenary. Each one more spectacular. https://www.motor.es/pruebas-coches/prueba-lamborghini-huracan-y-urus-202183564.html

The launch of the new Dacia Jogger marks the arrival on the market of the replacement for the missing Logan MCV. However, what will happen to the Dacia Lodgy? The po[CENSORED]r minivan is on its way out but is still available at dealerships. In this comparison we face these cheap 7-seater cars to find out their most outstanding differences. Dacia's new 7-seater family car has started its commercial journey in Spain. The commercial launch of the Dacia Jogger marks the materialization of the arrival on the market of the successor, or rather replacement, of the defunct Logan MCV. But there is still more, since this totally new model is also called to occupy the space that the Dacia Lodgy will leave in the range once its farewell to the dealerships takes place. Dacia still allows you to configure its po[CENSORED]r affordable minivan. The Dacia Lodgy is available in a Stepway trim and with a 7-seater interior. Therefore, and taking into account the doubts that may arise when choosing between the Jogger and the Lodgy, it is an ideal moment to put both models face to face. In this comparison we are faced with the cheap 7-seater cars that Dacia has for sale in the Spanish territory. https://www.motor.es/noticias/dacia-jogger-vs-dacia-lodgy-202284030.html

Microsoft has achieved a major milestone after its ad network – spread across Bing, Outlook.com, AOL, MSN.com, Yahoo, and other properties – reached one billion people last year. The news comes via MediaPost, which cites Microsoft internal data and ComScore as evidence of the huge reach of the company's ad business. According to Microsoft, many of the viewers are "overlapping audiences" – the term used for when an audience member uses multiple properties or services from the company at once. As such, 64% of US Windows users also visited a Microsoft service in Q3 2021. https://www.techradar.com/news/microsoft-says-its-ads-now-reach-a-billion-people-worldwide

The 2022 starts with important adjustments in the ranges of the successful compact vans of Stellantis. Touring models with a gasoline or diesel engine will no longer be available at dealers. Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Rifter and Opel Combo Life will only be offered in a touring version with 100% electric mechanics. Stellantis can boast of having in its portfolio the best-selling vans throughout the European territory. We are facing a true colossus and leader in the light commercial vehicle market and, in the same way, of the passenger versions derived directly from these models that not many years ago were practically exclusively destined for the professional field. It has only been a few days since 2022 has started and we already have one of the most relevant news that will leave us this year in the sector of commercial vehicles and, especially, of the tourism models derived from them. Stellantis has decided to cease sales of the Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Rifter and Opel Combo Life with combustion engine. Therefore, the touring versions of these versions become exclusively available with 100% electrical mechanics .https://www.motor.es/noticias/stellantis-cese-ventas-furgonetas-compactas-gasolina-diesel-202284001.html

The Toyota GR 86 will arrive in Europe in spring 2022. Although it will only remain on sale for two years, the first preparations are already emerging on the new generation of the sports car. This time, it was the Japanese from Blitz who have presented their particular vision. GAZOO Racing has already advanced two conceptual proposals for the new Toyota GR 86. The second generation of the Japanese sports car is ready to be marketed in Europe, and will arrive in spring 2022. The firm has confirmed that it will be on sale for only two years in the Old Continent, so those interested can not think much about it, especially since the Subaru BRZ will not arrive. With a sportier image, there are many customers who miss a more aggressive extra, and if the packages designed by Toyota's sports division do not convince, the Japanese Blitz have already anticipated their package of improvements that will take to the Tokyo Motor Show 2022 , and in which not a single detail has been left in the inkwell. The front aesthetics change completely thanks to the new front bumper that has a single grill in the center and some sharp creases at the ends, which connect with the widened wheel arches, with integrated ventilation just in front of the doors, a smart aerodynamic solution . https://www.motor.es/noticias/toyota-gr-86-blitz-202183867.html

CES 2022 has truly been a show for screens of all shapes, sizes, and use cases. We’ve seen the world’s first 4k 240Hz gaming monitor as well as some crazy tricks with curved screens from Samsung. LG brought both the biggest and smallest OLED gaming TVs to the market. Now HP is here with its new Omen gaming monitor, and it seems 4k is finally on the menu. The new HP Omen 27u is the latest in the company’s range of 27” gaming monitors. The previous 27i model managed a QHD resolution at 165 Hz, a bit like the HP Omen 25i gaming monitor we reviewed. The new model supports 4k UHD (3840 x 2160) but with a 144 Hz refresh rate at a 1ms response time. The brightness gets a slight step up to 450 nits which should look rich with the HDR capabilities. There’s two USB A ports and even a USB C built in which is a very welcome sign of the times. https://www.pcgamer.com/the-hp-omen-27u-could-be-a-great-pc-and-console-gaming-monitor/

Microsoft is doubling down on efforts to drive the adoption of collaboration platform Teams in conference room settings. As per two new entries to the company’s product roadmap, users will soon be able to perform a wider range of actions via Microsoft Teams panels, the touchscreen devices mounted outside of meeting rooms. For example, Microsoft Teams users will be able to “check out” of conference rooms if their meetings end earlier than expected, as a courtesy to colleagues who might need the space. In a similar vein, it will also be possible to extend existing reservations via Microsoft Teams panels, provided doing so does not create a clash. https://www.techradar.com/news/there-will-soon-be-no-escape-from-microsoft-teams-even-in-the-office

Toyota Gazoo Racing is focused on the Monte Carlo Rally, while Hyundai Motorsport makes up for lost time. M-Sport is making good progress, but there is some concern about the mobility restrictions associated with COVID-19. The 90th edition of the Monte Carlo Rally will be one of a kind, as the event will kick off the hybrid era of the WRC. However, it could be said that there are up to three different Monte Carlo rallies based on the approach being made by the three manufacturers that will compete with the new 'Rally1'. Toyota Gazoo Racing works 100% to be ready for the Monte Carlo Rally, while Hyundai Motorsport makes up for the time lost after the accident of Thierry Neuville in one of the first tests of its i20 N Rally1. For its part, M-Sport fears that the good work done with the Ford Puma Rally1 will be affected by increasing mobility restrictions due to the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. Toyota, Hyundai and M-Sport have been challenged to develop their new hybrid 'Rally1' vehicles in record time, which has very different circumstances for each manufacturer. The Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 is in its final phase of development with the last tests in the French Alps and although the drivers are satisfied with the performance of the new car, there is still a lot to do. At Toyota, the structure is believed to be in a good position and Tom Fowler, technical director of the structure, considers that the project is well advanced in terms of car specification and set-up for the Monte Carlo Rally. The homologation process for the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 is already underway, with the first FIA inspections completed. https://www.motor.es/noticias/distintos-rallies-montecarlo-toyota-hyundai-m-sport-202183830.html
