Goodyear Malaysia has launched the new Assurance ComfortTred as part of an expansion of its Assurance tyre range that caters to premium vehicles. They include vehicles by BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Lexus, Toyota and Honda.

Mazda Vision Study Model shown – stylish two-door sports car concept; preview for fully electric MX-5?

During Mazda’s presentation of its revised mid-term management plan, the company ended by showing us a two-door sports car concept called the Vision Study Model. This comes after we get several shots of the current state of the world and people having a jolly time in different MX-5 (also known as the Miata and Roadster) generations. The latter has led to speculation that the concept is a preview for an all-electric version of the MX-5 will arrive in the future.

The Japanese carmaker isn’t revealing much in the way of details for now, but based on video, we can see the Vision Study Model’s exposed chassis and what appears to be a T-shaped battery – note the lack of any internal combustion engine.

As for the rest of the concept, it boasts a rather fetching design with its butterfly doors, prominent haunches, split circular taillights and slender headlamps that resemble

Izera to build electric cars using Geely SEA EV platform – Poland’s national car

Geely has announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with ElectroMobility Poland to supply its Geely Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform to EMP to develop a series of electric cars for EMP’s new Izera brand. Geely will also be EMP’s technology partner for the project.

EMP is backed by the Polish government and essentially Izera will be Poland’s first domestic brand in generations. EMP’s website says Poland is the largest European sales market for new cars without its own homegrown car brand so the Izera brand can be a catalyst for the development of Polish auto part and component manufacturers. Sounds very familiar, doesn’t it? Without a domestic brand currently, the auto parts industry is already the second largest industrial sector in Poland.

The first car that Izera will be developing on the SEA platform is of course a compact SUV, which is one of the most popular bodytypes

The European Union (EU) has reached a deal for the effective banning of combustion-engined cars and vans from 2035, Automotive News Europe reports, with the agreement of the EU’s three key institutions, the executive arm, the parliament and its member states.
