    Fuel for Thought: How EU Tariffs Will Impact the Battery Electric Vehicle Market

    In this episode of Fuel for Thought, we explore the European Union's decision to impose tariffs on Chinese battery electric vehicles (BEVs) following concerns about unfair subsidies. The tariffs, ranging from 17% to 35%, affect major manufacturers like BYD, Geely, and SAIC, while Tesla faces a lower rate of 7.8%.  This move, aimed at protecting European automakers, may reshape the market but has sparked tensions, with China filing a WTO dispute and considering retaliatory tariffs. The episode features Moderator Guido Vildozo in conversation with Tim Urquhart, Principal Research Analyst at S&P Global Mobility, about the impact on the EU car market and consumers.

    Average age of vehicles in the US hit a new record

    In this episode of Fuel for Thought we discuss the aging of the US vehicle fleet.  Vehicles on the road are getting even older, according to new S&P Global Mobility data released last week. The average age of cars and light trucks in the US has risen again to a new record of 12.6 years in 2024, up by two months over 2023. The increase in average age is showing signs of slowing as new registrations normalize. This continues to improve business opportunities for companies in the aftermarket and vehicle service sector in the US, as repair opportunities are expected to grow alongside vehicle age.
