    BEJING BONUS Ep - The 100 year head-start: where traditional brands still win | Felipe Munoz, Automotive Expert

    Live from the Beijing Auto Show, Sepi sits down with independent automotive analyst Felipe Munoz, known globally as Car Industry Analysis. Felipe brings a truly global lens, tracking sales data across dozens of markets to spot the trends that others miss.They get into why Chinese brands are expanding faster than any automotive wave before them, the brutal domestic price war that's actually fuelling their export push, and why the transition to EV in Europe has been slower than almost everyone predicted. Plus, Western car makers have spent a century building something the Chinese don't yet have: deep knowledge of global consumers, established dealer networks, and hard-won trust in markets around the world. But does it feel like they're squandering it? 👉 Partner with Carwow's media strategy team 👉 List your cars to millions of buyers 👉 Source stock on Carwow Follow Felipe on Instagram: @carindustryanalysis Hosted by Sepi Arani Produced by Annabel Lanyon Carwow Group #automotive #beijingautoshow #newentrants #oem #electricvehicles #hybridvehicle

    Are automotive tariffs killing innovation? | Stella Li, Executive Vice President, BYD

    In this episode, Stella Li, Executive Vice President at BYD, shares a candid perspective on how global competition drives real innovation in the automotive industry, and why tariffs and market barriers can weaken manufacturers over time. We also explore how rapid advances in EV technology, from five-minute charging to improved cold-weather performance, are removing key barriers to adoption, enabling electric vehicles to compete directly with petrol and diesel cars. Stella also discusses BYD’s vertically integrated approach, its investment in battery technology and infrastructure, and how this is accelerating both innovation and global expansion. Plus, she shares her views on regional differences in mindset — and why some markets risk falling behind by focusing on protecting legacy technologies instead of investing in the future.
