Episode Title:-  🇬🇧AA in the 21st Century🇬🇧  

In the penultimate episode of the HTAutomotiveSeries on Head Talk , I had a delightful conversation with Edmund King OBE, the President of the AA. 

Edmund took us on a ‘drive’ down memory lane. We discussed the AA handbook, the AA Members’ Key and even the old Lotus car. We swiftly moved back up to the 21st century and discussed the revolution and the impact it has had on the AA and its business model. Some real fascinating insights into the activities of the AA Roadside Service with the increased numbers of EVs on the road.  

At the end of this episode, I created a quiz for Edmund to partake in called Edmund’s Recommendations. I really enjoyed listening to his answers to these questions and you do gain some gem information about what’s on the EV market and Edmund’s personal opinion of the various models. Do have a listen to the full episode for that.

Episode Title:-🇩🇪All Things Battery🇩🇪

This is definitely a food for thought episode of Heads Talk and one I urge you to have a listen to even if you only have a slight interest in the automotive industry - this should be of interest. We continue the #HTAutomotiveSeries with one of the best thinkers in the business. Greg Ombach, the EVP of DRÄXLMAIER Group,  discussed all things about Battery Technology. In the process, Greg outlined something that will be a greater issue later down the line, i.e. the potential shortfall of qualified and experienced Electro Chemical Engineers to meet the new demand in this sector. 

We discussed a lot of other relevant topics in this space and Greg delivered very engaging, very insightful points. It was a joy to talk and largely listen to what he had to say about all things battery.  One of my favourite bits of this conversation was about the merits of battery design first and building the car around it. Look out for that one. It provided me with a window into the future and I was able to imagine the possibilities in the design of a future car.

Episode Title:-🇨🇳Green China🇨🇳

In this episode of Heads Talk, I am joined by a leading catalyst of a greener China. Peggy Liu is the Chairperson of JUCCCE. The conversation was filled with admiration and fascination with some of her achievements and the work she has delivered with top officials from both the US and Chinese government. Mind blowing stuff! How many of us can say that we’ve been on the cover of Time Magazine as recognition of the work we have done? To add to Peggy’s brilliance, the actual episode was recorded just after midnight her time and she was happy to have a 30 minutes plus dialogue with me despite the fact she had a full days work earlier.  We covered a lot in this episode as well as talk in great detail about China’s drive and successes in delivering EV solutions. This is the continuation of the #HTAutomotiveSeries.

Episode Title:-🇸🇪Volvo’s 100% Fossil Free Roadmap🇸🇪

In this week’s episode of Heads Talk, I am joined by Henrik Engdahl, Chief Charging Engineer for Volvo Group. This is the continuation of the #HTAutomotiveSeries. 

Henrik provided forensic details on vehicle technology development as well as Volvo Group’s advancement in other domains. We briefly touched upon the policy side of things and Henrik laid out his preferences and well as points for concerns going forward. 

The bottom up perspective was analysed. Meaning: Trucks are operated by humans, usually owned by small companies (with limited economic headroom) with short term contracts to logistic specialists (Kuehne + Nagel International AG, Maersk, DFDS etc) which are in term contracted by the smallest to the largest entities of the economy (single households to multinational corporations). This brings an interesting (and challenging) dynamic to the topic of decarbonising goods transport. In the end the costs must be carried by the consumer (who is currently benefiting from the externalised cost of CO2-emissions), but how should we get there? Who will take the lead and how will they (economically) benefit from the transition? 

So, my listeners are in for a treat with the insights they will gain from someone working at a leadership level in one of the world’s leading manufacturers of heavy-duty trucks, construction equipment, buses,  marine and industrial engines. 

Topics Covered: #VolvoTrucks #ShiftInCoreCompetences #GoodsTransportation #AutonomousVehicle #SupplyChainChallenges #MechanicalEngineers #ElectricalEngineers #ObsoleteOEMs

Episode Title:-🇬🇧Sustainably Maritime🇬🇧 

In this Thursday’s release of Heads Talk I had a delightful discussion with Mikal Bøe, Chairman and CEO of Core Power. I was looking forward to this conversation, as this was a first on Heads Talk.  A maritime fest and a conversation like no other. Changes in the shipping industry are undergoing, not just for decarbonisation reasons, but for efficiency, reduction of costs, increased benefits and general optimisation of activities. This is the continuation of the #HTAutomotiveSeries. 

@Mikal opened Heads Talk into the world of Maritime and how the global changes we are seeing are affecting the industry. It was a conversation about, as Mikal puts it, about true-zero emission and advanced #nuclearenergy technology; and how this will transform #globaltrade. 

Topics Covered: #AtomicEnergyOptions #ShippingIndustry #CorePowerUSP  #ShipLifeCycle #NuclearTechnology #IAEA #NuclearBatteries

Episode Title:- 🇸🇪IKEA Fleet Means Business🇸🇪

In this week’s episode of Heads Talk, I was thrilled to be joined by a Seasoned professional in this space. Someone who was talking, planning and working in this space long before it was on everyone’s lips. Pia Heidenmark Cook, fmr. Chief Sustainability Officer of ingka group/IKEA now sits on a number of Boards, has been creating and delivering results in the drive to decarbonisation. 

It was great to talk to a veteran in this space and Pia took us on a comprehensive journey of how IKEA transitioned their fleet from an ICE operating model to EVs. A journey that many retailers are going through now. IKEA had been on this journey for a while and I got insights from PIA on pain points as well as the gratifications the organisation received shifting to EV solutions. We talked about the supply chain and how different countries managed this IKEA business decision. Fascinating insights. This is the continuation of the #HTAutomotiveSeries.

Episode Title:- 🇨🇭The Hydrogen Game🇨🇭

In this 60th episode of Head Talk, we continue the New #HTAutomotiveSeries with Patrick Huber,  Chairman and CEO of H2 Energy Holdings. This was a really fascinating conversation and quite educational at the same time. My knowledge of the Hydrogen solution for the shift to decarbonisation rose exponentially as a result of my conversation with Patrick; and I’ll even go as far as to say you will listen to the episode time and time again. 

Patrick provided forensic detail on the logistics, Hydrogen production, storage infrastructure and transportation as well as enlighten us to the residual use of the substance. We get an insight into the different types of Hydrogen and the ecosystem that is being created, but like all things there is a timeline for successful development, deployment and commercialisation; and Patrick was candid with his analysis on this. 

Topics Covered:  #FuelCellEcosytem #ProductionByElectrolysis #SwitzerlandHydrogenMarket #HyundaiPartnership #DistributionModel #ScalingProcess #GridStability #CommercialisationOfH2
