Automakers in Europe have been negatively affected by Europe's inability to mine data for commercial purposes as effectively as the U.S. A solution to the problem, however, may be on the horizon: Gaia-X.

In its goal to eclipse the world's dominant electric vehicle manufacturer, Volkswagen appears to embrace "if you can't beat them, join them."

The ID 6 X and ID 6 Cross will be rivals to the Tesla Model X.

Israeli startup StoreDot believes it has a solution that will reduce EV battery recharging to a matter of minutes. Company founder Doron Myersdorf explained how to Automotive News Europe.

Mercedes expects to unveil the full-electric EQE in September at the IAA in Munich, CEO Ola Kallenius said.

Daimler's decision to prioritize Europe for Mercedes electrified vehicles led to the automaker failing to achieve fuel economy targets in the two key markets.

Plug-in drivetrains will be relevant for many years to come because of their substantially longer electric range, said Ola Kallenius, CEO of Mercedes parent Daimler.

The C-Class borrows from the brand's flagship sedan, including the look of the cockpit and the latest version of the MBUX infotainment system.

Opel/Vauxhall aims to recapture volume lost last year and reduce its fleet emissions with the arrival of the new Mokka-e small full-electric crossover.

The sedan is Audi's third battery-powered model and is based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan.

Automakers are interested in using cloud computing to improve their manufacturing efficiency, boost quality control and make autonomous vehicles a reality.

The EQA is targeted primarily toward young, urban customers, Mercedes said.

A host of safety and convenience options are now standard on the S-Class, as Mercedes responds to challenges from the Tesla Model S and others.

The GTE starts at about 41,700 euros in Germany but because of incentives for electrified cars in key markets the plug-in hybrid either matches or undercuts the GTI’s price.

Hiltrud Werner, the VW Group executive board member responsible for integrity and legal affairs, discusses the company's efforts to change its culture to be more transparent.
