    ICE Isn't Dead at Mazda! New EVs To Include Sportster? | UK MD Shares Inside Line

    ICE Isn't Dead at Mazda! New EVs To Include Sportster? | UK MD Shares Inside Line

    Mazda is bucking trends! Check out my exclusive podcast with Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director of Mazda UK. In this interview Jeremy gives us the inside line on Mazda's bold two-pronged strategy, balancing the advancement of electric vehicles (EVs) with a continued commitment to the internal combustion engine (ICE).

    He explains the challenge of the ZEV Mandate (Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes Order) in the UK, requiring 22% of new cars sold to be EVs, and how Mazda will meet the demands despite only having one EV on sale for now. Turns out there's more flexibility in the ruling that we initially thought - but only for a short period!

    From the anticipation around new EVs, potentially including a sporty model, to continued investment and development of ICE vehicles for improved efficiency and emissions, as well as the potential of alternative fuels, this is a conversation you won't want to miss!

    What We Cover:
    - Mazda's Vision for the Future: How Mazda is innovating to embrace electric vehicles while keeping the internal combustion engine alive.
    - Exciting New Models: Jeremy hints at what's next for Mazda, including a potential new EV sports car - as 'Mazda will always want to be in the space occupied by the world's best-selling roadster, the MX-5'.
    - How AI might help to reconnect us with our cars

    About Jeremy Thomson:
    With 35 years in the automotive industry, Jeremy Thomson has been at the helm of Mazda UK as the Managing Director, steering the brand through innovative waters. His insights into the future of car manufacturing and Mazda's unique position in the industry offer a rare glimpse into the automotive world's next chapter.

    PODCAST: Pakistan's OKC Team Competes at Dubai Kartdrome - Brings Home Trophy!

    PODCAST: Pakistan's OKC Team Competes at Dubai Kartdrome - Brings Home Trophy!

    In this video I catch up with my dear friend Ovais Naqvi, who a couple of years ago completed his life-long ambition to establish a world-class karting circuit in Karachi, Pakistan. This year, for the first time, he took a team of drivers to compete at the Dubai Kartdrome against many international teams, and they managed to bring home a trophy!

    In this podcast I catch up with him and some of the team members and drivers to talk about the experience of competing in Dubai, how it worked out for them, what they have learned and what's next. Suffice to say, they've definitely got the bug!

    See my previous interviews with Ovais here:

    Podcast: Car Theft Epidemic – Keeping Your Car Safe with Ex-Police Investigator Philip Swift

    Podcast: Car Theft Epidemic – Keeping Your Car Safe with Ex-Police Investigator Philip Swift

    In this podcast we look at the alarming rise of car theft in the UK and how you can keep your vehicle safe. Join us as we sit down with Philip Swift, a former police investigator turned motor insurance expert of Claims Management & Adjusting Ltd, who shares his invaluable insights and tips.

    We talk about the current state of car theft in the UK, why it has increased, what are manufacturers and police doing - or not doing - about it, and give essentially tips on how to protect your car from theft. Plus what actually happens to stolen cars?

    Philip Swift, is a seasoned detective-turned-insurance expert leading the UK's motor insurance loss adjuster, Claims Management & Adjusting (CMA).

    A former police detective, Philip has over 40 years of investigation experience, starting as a Metropolitan Police constable in south London in 1979 and even working in the high-stakes world of international narcotics enforcement - yep this guy was real life Miami vice.

    But he didn’t drive a white Testarossa and we’re going to be sticking to cars not drugs for this episode, especially as he now he specialises in auto-theft, road traffic collisions, claims and frauds.
