In the size 225 / 55R19 XL 103Y on the front axle, 275 / 45R19 XL 108Y on the rear axle and 'NF0' on the sidewall, the Ventus S1 evo 3 ev features a host of technical improvements that bring the great to the road. performance of electric driving sports cars. "We are proud to equip Porsche's first fully electric sports car with our tires. Providing original equipment for premium sports vehicles is already a tradition at Hankook. Our engineers have shown that with our products we are highly prepared for the new demands on the field of electric sports cars and therefore we are well positioned for the future, "says Sanghoon Lee, President of Hankook Tire Europe. The tread pattern of the Ventus S1 evo 3 has been specially adapted for the Porsche in such a way that it reduces the noise of the tires that could be annoying inside the vehicle, reducing their loudness by about three decibels. To meet the high demands of high-performance electric sports cars, the Hankook tire has a reinforced bead with so-called bead packing technology, as well as high lateral stiffness for precise driving even at high speeds. "With the development of the tires for the Porsche Taycan, our development team has moved to completely new dimensions and we are proud of the result. For original equipment engineers, such a development project represents a special challenge, optimizing the various Performance criteria in a high-performance sports and electric vehicle requires the highest level of production knowledge and the use of the latest technologies, "explains Engineer Klaus Krause, director of the Hankook European Research and Development Center. To meet the specific demands of an electric vehicle like the Porsche Taycan, the developers at Hankook have also discovered an optimally balanced vulcanization process for the tire compound that ensures the correct balance of temperature, time and pressure. As a result, the Ventus S1 evo 3 ev achieves 30 percent more durability compared to a standard compound. Abrasion resistance has been improved by 5 percent compared to the conventional model and rolling resistance has been improved by 13 percent overall.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused the voluntary return of thousands of Venezuelan refugees due to the devastation that Covid has left in the countries of the region, the main places of refuge for the Venezuelan exodus. At least 70,000 people have returned to the Caribbean country across land borders since April 6, when a mandatory quarantine period for returnees was established. The data is collected by the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in its report published last Sunday. Specifically, 72,517 people have crossed into Venezuela, mostly through Táchira, a state adjacent to Colombia, since the Government of Nicolás Maduro decreed the state of alarm and established an iron fist policy against returnees. If it weren't for the trocheros (people who cross the border illegally), Venezuela would be fully controlled and without an outbreak today. These words are part of the repeated accusations that Maduro has made against the returning Venezuelans and those he describes as biological weapons and responsible for bringing the disease. According to the latest data presented last Sunday by Chavista Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, the South American country confirmed 20,206 cases of Covid-19, 10,666 people recovered and 174 deaths. The states most affected are by order of the Capital District, Zulia, Miranda and Apure. The OCHA report warned that community transmission is increasing in Venezuela, a country that has been experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the region for some years now, since a higher incidence of cases of community transmission than cases has been reported. imported. There are more than 24 thousand Venezuelans in Colombia waiting to return to Venezuela in the midst of the pandemic. Traitors to the homeland María Escobar returned to her country with her husband and children two months ago because the pandemic had left them unemployed in Colombia and they no longer had the money to pay for their expenses. We channeled everything through Migración Colombia, who were in charge of managing the process, tells ABC and says that they took a group of about 100 people to a shelter so that when Venezuela authorized our entry we would be free of the virus. The woman assures that the Colombian authorities were kind to the returnees and that during their stay in the refuge, which lasted for 20 days, they provided them with food and medicine. However, when they arrived in Venezuela they received discriminatory treatment and mistreatment. Traitors to the homeland. Get out of here, Venezuelan officials yelled at us. In the report, the Office of Humanitarian Affairs also recalled that on July 15 the Humanitarian Response Plan for Venezuela was published, which aims to provide humanitarian assistance to 4.5 million Venezuelans and needs $ 762 million. As of August 1, only $ 134.3 million had been received for humanitarian activities, including funds for the United Nations and international and national NGOs.

Woven CORE will be dedicated to the development, deployment and scaling of automated driving technologies, while Woven Alpha will explore new business opportunities and hatch innovative projects that go beyond the current scope of Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), such as the city of the future Woven City. , the open platform to create programmable Arene1 vehicles and an Automated Mapping Platform —Automated Mapping Platform (AMP) 2. TRI-AD was established in March 2018 in Tokyo, Japan to offer fully integrated, production-quality software for automated driving applications. TRI-AD's vision is ‘Mobility to Love, Safety to Live’ and its mission is to create world-class technology and develop safe mobility products for everyone. Over the past two years, TRI-AD has made great strides towards achieving its vision and mission, such as developing the most modern advanced driving assistance technology, called 'Teammate'3, which is based in the prototype 'Mobility Teammate'4. TRI-AD is now starting the next phase of its evolution to bring mobility, both of people and of goods and information, to everyone. And to achieve this, the company's operations must be expanded and improved. To effectively and efficiently advance TRI-AD's advanced development capabilities and to continue to create new value through automated driving, safety technologies, mobility and the woven city of the future Woven City, the Woven Planet Holdings group It will adopt a more agile development process, prioritizing software and software-defined architecture. New structure Woven Planet Holdings will have a strategic decision-making function for the group as a whole, as well as to expand collaboration with partners, create new business opportunities and provide shared corporate services to operating companies. Meanwhile, Woven CORE will continue to pursue the development of the Toyota Group's automated driving technologies and will aim to continue to create value by developing, deploying and scaling automated driving technologies on the market. For its part, Woven Alpha will explore new areas of business expansion and incubate new innovative projects, such as Woven City, Arene and AMP. James Kuffner, CEO of TRI-AD commented: “When President Akio Toyoda announced that Toyota would become a mobility company, we realized that we would need to combine powerful software and hardware to achieve this. TRI-AD started operating in March 2018 as a joint venture between Toyota, Denso and Aisin, in order to unify and strengthen Toyota's software development capabilities, particularly in the fields of automated driving and advanced security. Two years later, we have come a long way, hired wonderful people, entered into some strategic alliances, and received strong support from the Toyota Group, which has enhanced our ability to successfully develop cutting-edge software. Now we would like to take TRI-AD to the next phase, and prepare our company for unprecedented levels of growth, speed and quality, to guide our way into the future. I am firmly convinced that all of this will be possible under the new structure of Woven Planet Holdings, which will serve to unite our efforts with the necessary ingredients in terms of people, technologies, infrastructure and corporate management to achieve our vision of 'Mobility to love, security to live'. We will work tirelessly with our partners and stakeholders to create new value, new technologies and new products, at the speed and scale expected from Toyota, and we will do so with software and services that will drive future mobility. ” Akio Toyoda, President and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) said: “At the beginning of the year, Toyota announced Woven City, an intertwined city that will serve as a living laboratory where we can create an increasingly better, people-centered way of life. and in mobility for all. Now, TRI-AD is restructuring into three new companies, and to make the concept that all of them must remember as their mission clear, the names of all three will include the word 'Woven' (intertwined). ‘Woven’ derives from the English verb ‘weave’, which means to weave or interlace. The inspiration came in part from the arrangement of the three types of lanes for different types of mobility, which intersect each other as if intertwining in the urban plan of the new city. However, the word 'Woven' hides another important meaning. Toyota's roots go back to the automatic loom invented by Sakichi Toyoda, father of Toyota Motor Corporation founder Kiichiro Toyoda. Seeing his mother's problems with weaving and with the intention of making her happy by helping her and facilitating her work, Sakichi invented the loom. . Later, Kiichiro began to manufacture automobiles out of a great desire to achieve a happier society by contributing to general prosperity, starting with Japan. In a spirit similar to that of Toyota's founders, our starting point should always be to create something that benefits others, or simply to spread happiness among people. So the prototype city took the term 'Woven' as part of its name to also indicate the desire and actions we must take to bring happiness to others, especially when we look to an unknown future as we embark on this project. in continuous evolution. TRI-AD was launched two years ago to realize Toyota's vision for the future. Now, TRI-AD will adopt a new leadership role, characterized by the name ‘Woven’ to further reinforce the idea of ‘bringing happiness to others’. In Woven Planet Holdings, the word 'Planet' implies that its scale will go far beyond the traditional concept of a city. Woven Planet Holdings will focus on 'happiness for the future' from a much broader perspective than ever before. For its part, Woven CORE will be responsible for achieving the new mobility. This new mobility will be articulated around automated driving technologies. Finally, in Woven Alpha, the term 'Alpha' means 'unknown' or 'immeasurable'. Woven Alpha will take care of the R&D work needed to lay the foundation for the future, including the living lab that will be launched within Woven City. Reorganized under the name 'Woven', TRI-AD will set out to become the kind of organization that allows everyone involved to step on the gas to help achieve a future where people can be happier. To make all of this more open and collaborative, the element that, in a singular and deliberate way, will be absent from these three new companies, Woven Planet, Woven CORE and Woven Alpha, will be the Toyota brand. In any case, these companies will pave the way for Toyota's future, while perpetuating the legacy of "bringing happiness to others" that Toyota has so conscientiously woven into its own DNA. "

A more efficient division of labor and increased synergies as part of the skills reorganization within the Volkswagen Group. The Audi Annual General Meeting also votes to transfer all Audi shares to Volkswagen AG, which owns 99.64 percent of the share capital of Audi AG. The Board of Directors thanks the shareholders for their trust and loyalty. The planned structure aims to strengthen the role of the brand within the Volkswagen Group and enhance the Group's future competitiveness. “The Volkswagen Group is consolidating all its strength. We position ourselves competitively within the Group, expanding synergies and scale variations to a new level, ”says Markus Duesmann, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Audi AG at this year's Audi Annual General Meeting. The Volkswagen Group and Audi AG have intensified their cooperation in recent years, for example by creating shared production plants or platforms and modules developed and used for the manufacture of mobile or electrified vehicles. Specifically, the foundations have been laid for the future of synergies with the joint development of software in the new Auto.

The aim is to guide Audi strategically and flexibly through this crisis without compromising its viability in the future. At the same time, Audi has kept core processes stable, for example in the areas of technical development and production. “Despite the crisis, we are not making decisions that affect the product and, therefore, we are not committed to our competitiveness in the future. We are focusing on synergies within the Volkswagen Group as a strategy that enables us to achieve our goals, ”says Antlitz. “For us, the current crisis is also an opportunity for change, which is what we have decided to do. Now we will have the opportunity to follow new paths and demonstrate once again that we fulfill our motto "At the Forefront of Technology", added Markus Duesmann, CEO of the brand. The transfer of shares also aims to underline the brand's slogan and reinforces Audi's role within the Volkswagen Group. As an engineer and chief executive officer of Audi, Markus Duesmann assumed leadership in Research and Development for the Group. From this position he is also in charge of the Group's software development, leading the recently founded Car Software-Organization, which will be based at the IN Campus of Ingolstadt, and which will increase the proportion of software development internally within the Volkswagen Group. , from the current 10 to 60 percent in 2025. With the Artemis project, Audi accelerates the development of high-efficiency electric models.

Due to the current coronavirus pandemic, the 131st Annual General Meeting of Audi AG has been held for the first time virtually, to protect shareholders. Before the meeting, all of them had the opportunity to submit their questions electronically and exercise their right to vote through a specific online portal.

The viceroys, alter ego of the monarchs, constituted the backbone of the Spanish system of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and allowed the Spanish nobility to participate in the imperial enterprise and prevent it from being completely ruined as a result of the inflation that was being experienced. in Spain. Patrons, soldiers, rulers and little monarchs smeared with Italian opulence. Juan Fernández de Velasco, in Milan; García de Toledo, in Sicily; Pedro el Grande, in Naples. In the collective success story of the Spanish government in Italy there was no lack of leaders as unclassifiable as Pedro Téllez-Girón and Velasco, Duke of Osuna, who served as viceroy of Sicily and later Naples during the reign of Felipe III. Above all, a viceroy was required to collect taxes and avoid conflicts with the local nobility. Creating a fleet from scratch, as Pedro Tellez-Girón did during his Italian stay, and keeping enemy corsairs squashed did not enter into daily tasks. Not of course in those desired by suspicious Madrid officials or by other Mediterranean powers such as Venice and the Ottoman Empire. Cold war with Venice In both Sicily and Naples, The Daredevil Viceroy (nickname he received for his unorthodox methods) established a private fleet to fight the Corsican Berber with the same weapons that they used. In Naples, the viceroy came to gather a total of 22 galleys and 20 galleons, who were dedicated to launching pirate actions against privateers and Muslim merchant ships. Very lucrative actions in the economic and military fields, since an offensive strategy allowed the corsair to be kept away from the Italian coasts, but which won the duke countless enemies inside and outside Spain. At the political level, Osuna was aligned with the most bellicose faction of the Court. The one that had known the glory years of Felipe II and knew of the damage that the Pax Hispánica was doing to the reputation of the Spanish Empire. Hence his hostile attitude from the beginning towards Savoy, a former ally of Spain, and Venice, an ancient and constant enemy. To counter Venetian support for Spain's enemies in the area, Osuna waged a cold war with Venice on the Adriatic. Almost at the beginning of his time in Naples, Peter the Great confiscated a Venetian merchant ship to compensate for previous grievances, so he announced his intention to attack the Serenissima by obstructing her trade. Even signed the return of several ships with this country, the viceroy excused himself for not making it effective. According to an anecdote fictionalized by the biographer Gregorio Leti, Osuna agreed, if at all, to return the empty ships because the goods had already been sold: "The Lordship has forests of wood," said the Commissioner of Venice with a haughty tone. "In that case," replied the viceroy, "if the bajeles don't work for you, I'll stay with them." Osuna's galleons and galleys staged several clashes favorable to the Spanish against the increasingly outdated fleet of the Serenissima. The cold war became at times a hot one, since the black flag, characteristic of the duke's private ships, flew with impunity in the Adriatic, for centuries a sea owned by Venice, was unbearable for diplomatic representatives of this country . Faced with Venetian pressure, requests followed from Madrid to stop an unauthorized war against Venice, which Spain was winning with great damage to Venetian trade and at little cost. This produced the anomaly that the navies of both countries continued at war, while the diplomats did not stop promising each other peace and good intentions. The folds of geopolitics ... In Madrid there was also a lack of supporters to continue the hostilities and give Osuna a broad sleeve, who promised to cut the tentacles of Venice and Turkey in the Adriatic. The Grand Duke defended himself with the best of arguments to the Venetian criticism: "The more the enemies of the Empire complain about your ministers, it is when Your Majesty is best served." The conspiracy against the warlord Deranged by the duke's aggressiveness, Venice sought to discredit him by means other than military and to remove from the equation the most warlike faction in Spain, the one that could compromise the Peace of Pavia, signed in 1617. The duke was attributed with being the Field organizer of the Venice Conjuration (1618), one of the darkest episodes of the 18th century. Together with the Governor of Milan and the Spanish Ambassador in Venice, Osuna would have paid a group of French mercenaries settled in the city of the canals to provoke an uprising.

The entire lot is made up of the Volksbus 17,210 models that have already entered the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic: all units are equipped with Marcopolo Torino bodies and protective barriers for the driver and collector Marcopolo BioSafe. The flexible and modular solution can be installed in different bodies, reducing the possibility of contagion by reducing the exposure of professionals to possible micro drops expelled during speech, cough or sneeze. Over the last few years, VW Trucks and Buses has exported 568 Volksbus models that are part of the Regular Urban Passenger Transport Project (TURP), managed by the Asperbras Group, the manufacturer's official representative in that country for more than ten years. The dispatched fleet is already in action, distributed among 18 provinces of Angola, such as the capital Luanda, where most of the chassis are. “Angola has an urban transport network that is still far from its needs. In Luanda, for example, there are 8 million inhabitants for just over 500 buses, covering only 15 percent of the province. That is why, even in times of pandemic, the negotiations continued, "says Geraldo Kulaif, director of the Asperbras Group. "VW Trucks and Buses officially started exporting in 1985. Therefore, reaching our 35 years of international presence with businesses that promote quality and safety in transportation is a milestone in our history", says Leonardo Soloaga, director of Sales International VW Trucks and Buses. The highest percentage of buses sent to Angola, which reaches 87 percent, satisfies the demand for public passenger transport, also considering benefits and free categories, such as students, youth, the elderly, people with reduced mobility and homeland veterans. Another 8% are allocated to specific demands for passenger transport linked to ministries, hospitals and social projects. The remaining 5% is dedicated to the transportation of passengers to higher education institutions. Kulaif says the choice of VW buses took into account the consolidation of the brand, the quality and robustness of its engine and the minimum needs for corrective maintenance. "The vehicles that are already in operation are highly praised and have done very well," says the director of Asperbras.

The virus continues to circulate. The extension of the state of emergency until October is inevitable. It would be inconsistent to abruptly suspend the effectiveness of the measures adopted. This is how Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has communicated, in a speech in the Senate, the need to maintain the state of emergency, which was decreed on January 31 for a period of six months. It therefore ends on July 31, but is extended in principle for another two and a half months, until October 15. Days ago, Prime Minister Conte suggested the idea of keeping the extension until the end of the year, but, in the face of strong opposition criticism, the government has chosen to reduce the period of the state of emergency. Even some constitutionalists have been very critical. This is the case of Professor Sabino Casesse, judge emeritus of the Constitutional Court, who has considered the measure as inappropriate and even illegitimate, because the emergency conditions in the country do not currently exist. Professor Casesse is opposed to too many powers being concentrated in the Prime Minister in the state of emergency. Faced with this type of objection, Giuseppe Conte has replied: The extension extension is a power expressly provided by law and can be activated when necessary, even after some time of the event. This need occurs almost always. This is demonstrated by several precedents. Reasons There are several reasons that have inclined the government to adopt this controversial decision. In Italy, it is feared that the next few months may be hot, with an increase in social conflicts due to the economic crisis, without ruling out a second wave of the coronavirus. In addition, half a dozen regions will have elections on September 20, which will significantly shake Italian politics. Hence, Conte prefers to have his hands free to adopt urgent measures through law decrees. The state of emergency is still necessary - Conte has highlighted - it constitutes the prerequisite for the activation of a series of powers and faculties necessary to face emergency situations effectively and quickly. In fact, the emergence of the coronavirus, even today, although contained and territorially limited, has not yet exhausted its effects, as Conte has acknowledged. The Prime Minister has also justified his decision due to the need to keep vigilance high, taking into account what is happening in neighboring countries: The international situation continues to be worrying and what is happening in nations close to us requires careful vigilance.

I n the Italian Senate an agreement against the alarmism of the coronavirus has been organized under the title of Covid-19 in Italy, between information, science and rights. While the government and health authorities insist on the need to keep a high guard because the coronavirus circulates and is dangerous, recommending that the mask be used indoors (in the Campania region fines of 1,000 euros are imposed on those who violate these regulations), the Former Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has rejected that protection. The leader of the League, sitting in the front row, riding his own show: The mask? I don't have it and I don't use it, "Salvini told a Senate employee when I asked him to use it. "The elbow salute is the end of the human species, I refuse to do it; If someone shakes my hand, I give it to them, Salvini concluded. The conference, organized by the famous art critic and senator Vittorio Sgarbi, was attended by denialist doctors, scientists, jurists, experts and researchers from Covid-19, who tried to convince that the coronavirus no longer exists. Sgarbi has called for a real manifesto to be drawn up, so that the institutions will hear the voice of those who have been saying for weeks that the virus is no longer in Italy. In the first row, next to Matteo Salvini, the famous singer Andrea Bocelli was also sent, in the month of May he was infected by the virus, like his family. The tenor specified his experience of confinement, confessing what he had violated: When confinement was decreed, I tried to identify myself with those who have to make such delicate decisions. Then I tried to analyze reality and saw that things were not as they told us. I know many people, but I have never met anyone who has been in intensive care, so why this severity? There was a time when I felt humiliated and offended by the deprivation of freedom to leave home without having committed a crime and I must publicly confess that I disobeyed this prohibition because it does not affect me fairly and healthy, Bocelli admitted. The singer confirmed that during the chosen confinement to Matteo Renzi, Matteo Salvini, Silvio Berlusconi and others known for creating a cross front, made up of people of common sense, to do something together. Andrea Bocelli concluded with an appeal: I cannot think of the speed with which the schools closed and, on the other hand, the speed with which the discotheques filled up again. I would like to appeal to say that we must reopen schools and retrieve books. I cannot think that our children, I have an 8 year old daughter, must be in the class with the mask on. Rejection of the state of emergency The objective of the agreement is to prevent the government from decreeing a state of emergency again, from July 31. All those attending the agreement had a misconception: trying to reject that between Tuesday and Wednesday the Parliament approves the resolutions to prolong the state of emergency, because, according to the attendees, the coronavirus no longer exists. Among the experts invited to support this thesis is the well-known professor Alberto Zangrillo, personal physician to former Prime Minister Berlusconi, head of anesthesia and resuscitation at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, who a few weeks ago spoke a phrase that created great controversy: The virus clinically it is non-existent. During the conference in the Italian Senate, he had a more cautious, less radical position: The infections we are seeing cannot produce a disease capable of taking the infected to hospitalization or worse still to the intensive care unit. According to Zangrillo, we have to behave with common sense and avoiding extremism. Some experts have rejected the invitation because they disagreed with the idea that the virus does not exist. This is the case of the prestigious virologist Guido Silvestri, professor at Emory University in Atlanta, who criticized the initiative calling it a pseudoscientific. The data released this afternoon by the Ministry of Health prove him right, because the virus continues to circulate in Italy: in the last 24 hours, 170 new infections and 5 deaths have been registered.

Rolls-Royce is exploring the emergency sale of Spain's ITP Aero, according to The Telegraf. The automaker has entered into initial talks with a venture capital fund to sell this division, maker of Eurofighter parts. Potential buyers include KKR, Blackstone and Carlyle. On the one hand, Rolls-Royce thus tries to collect liquidity to face the economic problems derived from the Covid-19. On the other hand, it tries to face a collapse in the rates it charges for the sale and maintenance of airplanes, derived from the halt in transport. Rolls-Royce CEO Warren East had said he is considering all fundraising options after cutting 9,000 jobs globally. The company has hired Lazard and Goldman Sachs as advisers to the operation. Rolls-Royce already tried to part with its subsidiary in Spain last year. He negotiated exclusively with Indra, but the talks did not come to fruition. ITP Aero's valuations were then around 1.5 billion.

The College of Physicians of Vizcaya (CMB) has denounced the existence of a perfectly orchestrated campaign to saturate the health system with claims against them for not authorizing the exemption of wearing a mask to people who do not have any pathology that justifies it. The Biscayan College has explained in a note that it has already communicated this situation to the Minister of Health and the Basque Health Service, Osakidetza, and that it will also inform the prosecution of the Superior Court of Justice of the Basque Country. The campaign, as explained by the CMB, consists of requesting the family doctor the exemption from wearing a mask and when he refuses to put a complaint in the patient care service and deliver a copy to a lawyer (who according to the College identifies himself with name and surname in the message), which will accumulate them for a class action. This campaign, according to the College, is being spread through WhatsApp and these complaints have already been filed against some of its members for refusing to exempt patients without any pathology that requires it. For the College of Physicians, this campaign may constitute an offense against public health for promoting not using the mask and for seeking the saturation of the health system.

It was the first premium car plant installed in Mexico and, subsequently, it presented the first plug-in hybrid car produced in the country. Now, Audi Mexico announces the start of production of an updated Audi Q5, recently presented in Ingolstadt, which will begin its sale in December 2020 in the Mexican market. The changes in production for the optimization of the Audi Q5 represented a real challenge for the plant. To carry out this project, which includes new technical and aesthetic characteristics, two specific trainings were developed for more than 600 collaborators who will be in direct contact with the new design of the car. The first qualification step was a basic workshop on changes to the model, which was focused on collaborators from the assembly area and quality technicians, as well as one specialized in the electronic configuration of this Audi Q5. “At Audi México we are very pleased with the optimization of our Audi Q5 and the start of its production, a premium SUV manufactured locally. We are very proud of that ”, says Andreas Lehe, President of Audi México. “This project would not have been possible without the great teamwork of all the collaborators who operate the San José Chiapa plant in a premium way. Very soon this Mexican production car will be touring markets around the world!”. Since 2016, the Audi México plant has been responsible for producing the Audi Q5 in all its derivatives for the whole world, except China, which produces this model for its local market. The Audi Q5 has been one of the best-selling SUVs in the mid-size premium segment in Europe for years. And now Audi has made it more attractive. The new Audi Q5 update combines sporty character with excellent daily usability. In addition, a new range of infotainment was introduced, as well as assistants. The sharp exterior design of this highly successful model emphasizes the Q identity and features a group of taillights with digital OLED technology for the first time in the world. Audi Mexico is ready to start production of the updated Audi Q5, strictly complying with the measures implemented in conjunction with the health authorities, in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The health and safety of the more than 5,200 employees is the highest priority.

The British government has removed Spain from the list of safe countries to travel and as of this Sunday, those who enter from the country will have to quarantine for 14 days. This was announced this Saturday by the Foreign Ministry, which also advised against travel, except essential ones, to the peninsula. Although traveling to the Canary and Balearic Islands is not discouraged, people returning from these destinations will also have to isolate themselves for two weeks. The authorities clarified that those who are currently in Spain do not have to interrupt their trip, and made a call to follow the advice of local authorities. England lifted quarantine to travelers from Spain on July 10, after a month with the measure in force, but has put it into practice again when the outbreaks throughout Spanish territory seem to indicate that the country is beginning to suffer a second wave of the coronavirus outbreak. A government spokesman said the decision was made after the Joint Center for Biosecurity and Public Health in England made an assessment of the situation. Prime Minister Boris Johnson had warned that there could be a reversal at any time regarding the relaxation of existing measures to prevent the spread of covid-19 and that exceptions to quarantine would be under constant review. This change is a serious blow to Spain, which is the first tourist destination for the British, with around 18 million visitors a year, and who had hopes of saving the summer season on this market. The Scottish Executive also announced the change in a statement: Spain will be removed from the list of safe countries exempted from quarantine requirements due to an increase in the number of coronavirus cases in recent days, he said. Justice Minister Humza Yousaf explained that the decision is due to the fact that the latest data from Spain is a cause for concern, and although he acknowledged that the news is disappointing, he justified it by saying that the coronavirus is still active and remains deadly. Norway also announced this week that travelers from Spain will have to quarantine for ten days, and France has recommended that its po[CENSORED]tion avoid trips to Catalonia.

In addition to the GV80, which will become the flagship of the South Korean brand, Genesis will also begin marketing the G80 mid-size sedan in the third quarter of the year. Genesis noted that it has received a total of 14,500 purchase reservations for the two new models. "Unfortunately, due to delays related to Covid-19 in the United States, we need to adjust our communication of the highly anticipated arrival in the market to Fall 2020," the company said in a statement. Genesis unveiled the GV80 in January this year at an event in Seoul, shortly before the emergence of the coronavirus caused a pandemic that paralyzed the world's major economies. In February, Hyundai had to halt operations at one of its assembly plants in the South Korean city of Ulsan, where the Hyundai Palisade and Genesis GV80 are produced, after one of its workers contracted the disease. The GV80 is Genesis' first SUV SUV, a brand that Hyundai created in 2015 to produce vehicles for the luxury market. The model is based on a Genesis specific rear wheel drive architecture. The manufacturer has indicated that the V in the vehicle name means "versatility". Until now, the luxury brand had only produced G70, G80 and G90 sedans. The interior design of the GV80 is the result of the collaboration of the studies that the brand has in South Korea, the United States and Germany so that it can satisfy the demands of Asian, North American and European consumers. The vehicle has a technology called Road Active Noise Cancellation (RANC) that Genesis ensures "drastically reduces" the noise caused by the friction of the wheels with the road, generating "sound waves of opposite phases in 0.002 seconds" when analyzing in real time road noise. Another innovation of the GV80 is a system installed in the driver's seat equipped with seven air cells that "reduces fatigue caused by long hours" at the front of the steering wheel. The vehicle will be available with four-wheel or rear-wheel drive and with two turbocharged engines, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a 3.5-liter V6.
