**[Mahindra & Mahindra](https://www.carbike360.com/cars/mahindra) announced the launch of its new [Mahindra Scorpio N](https://www.carbike360.com/cars/mahindra/scorpio-2022). The long-awaited car comes out with a host of features and new cosmetic updates. Read below to know more**. 
![scorpio](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/scorpio_7eb232583a.jpg)

The Indian auto giant [Mahindra and Mahindra](https://www.carbike360.com/cars/mahindra) has finally unveiled the latest edition of its highly acclaimed SUV Scorpio, which has been in development for who knows how long. The [Scorpio-N](https://www.carbike360.com/cars/mahindra/scorpio-2022) is the name given to the all-new SUV, which was code-named Z101 throughout development.

The all-new Scorpio-N is set to arrive on June 27, 2022, according to the local automaker. Mahindra also announced that the current-generation Scorpio will be sold alongside the new SUV, but under the new brand of 'Scorpio Classic.'

Along with the announcement, Mahindra published a slew of images of the Scorpio-N, which look precisely as we expected. The Scorpio-N maintains its hefty form and stance that has earned it a following throughout the years. The all-new SUV generation for 2022 features a highly contemporary look while maintaining the proportions of the previous model.
![scorpion1](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/scorpion1_73319aefe3.jpg)

The Scorpio-N has a set of rectangular headlamps with two portions that contain the LED lights on the front end. It also has a larger front grille with chrome-accented fangs, however, there are only six instead of the normal seven. The revised front bumper has a more harmonious three-part design, with more intricate detailing via LED DRLs, thanks to a broad air dam and squarish fog light clusters.
![mahindra-scorpio-13.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/mahindra_scorpio_13_5ad62fa81b.jpg)

Overall, the new Scorpio-N has grown in size, but it still manages to maintain its imposing stature. A prominent bend in the window line at the second row, according to the side profile, is a novel sight, and the side profile appears to be more sculpted. The 2022 model also gets a new set of machined alloy wheels with a turbine design. For some reason, the firm hasn't shared any images of the back, although it appears that the vertical taillamps will remain, but will be updated with LED lighting.
![scorpio](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/scorpio_ea2fba966a.jpg)

Mahindra has not released any interior images, but a recent spy video revealing practically every interior detail revealed that it will include an entirely new dashboard layout. It will include the same multi-function unit as the XUV700, but without the piano-black finishes. It will have a wireless charger and two USB ports up front, as well as a manual parking brake, two cupholders, dual-zone climate control, drive modes, Hill Descent Control, Traction Control, idle engine, start/stop system, push-button engine start/stop, rear parking sensors, LED cabin lights, sunglass holder, and other features. Backseat passengers will have rear air conditioning vents, blower controls, and a USB port.

In terms of powertrains, the new Mahindra Scorpio-N is expected to use the same engines as the XUV700, albeit with a significantly lower tune. There will be a 2.0-liter mStallion turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.2-liter mHawk diesel engine. Meanwhile, a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed torque-converter automatic transmission might handle transmission responsibilities. It will also have a four-wheel drive.

"Scorpio has been a historic model for Mahindra, which has reinvented the category and become an iconic brand in the Indian vehicle sector," said Veejay Nakra, President, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd., in a statement. In India, the All-New Scorpio-N is intended to set new standards in the SUV segment."

"We continue to carry forth the Mahindra history of developing real, tough yet sophisticated SUVs with an unmissable design, exhilarating performance, and high-end technology," he continued. We keep our brand promise of 'Explore the Impossible' alive and well with the All-New Scorpio-N. "With the Scorpio-N, we are demonstrating our commitment to introducing world-class SUVs to the Indian market and providing our consumers with a pleasurable ownership experience."

![Ford-v-Volvo.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/Ford_v_Volvo_a9638a1317.jpg)


A wider cross-industry partnership has emerged in the EU with [Ford](https://www.carbike360.com/cars/ford) of Europe and [Volvo](https://www.carbike360.com/cars) cars urging the EU to make all new cars and vans in Europe zero-emission by 2035 and to set required charging infrastructure goals.

According to them, the deadline for new fossil fuel engines is necessary to ensure that the final vehicles and vans powered by internal combustion engines are off the road by 2050 when Europe must achieve net-zero emissions. In a combined letter signed today with 26 other firms representing a wide range of industries, the vehicle manufacturers, who together sold nearly 800,000 automobiles in Europe last year, appealed to EU lawmakers.

While 15 car brands have voluntarily committed to only selling electric cars in Europe over the next decade, the signatories say it is up to EU decision-makers to reflect this in firm vehicle regulation to provide planning certainty for industry, infrastructure providers, and customers as the transition to electric vehicles unfold. The letter is directed to MEPs and EU governments as they consider new clean car laws, such as the EU Commission's proposal that from 2035, only zero-emission new cars and vans – not hybrids – be sold across the EU. This EU Commission proposal is openly supported by the signatories.

"At Ford in Europe, we believe that freedom of travel goes hand-in-hand with caring for our world and each other," said Stuart Rowley, Chair of Ford Europe. He further added, “That is why, in response to this request, the COP26 RouteZero effort, and our Paris Climate commitment, we are aiming for all Ford cars to be zero-emission by 2035. To do so, EU authorities must set required national targets for a seamless electric charging infrastructure that meets the growing demand for electric vehicles while also empowering European consumers and businesses to fully benefit from living in a digital society."

Electric vehicles, which already account for 10% of all automobiles sold in the EU, are a cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and harmful air pollution. Cars and vans are the single largest source of nitrogen dioxide pollution, which the European Environment Agency estimates causes over 40,000 premature deaths in Europe each year.
"Volvo Cars wants to become a 100% electric car firm by 2030 and supports the end of fossil fuel vehicle sales in Europe by 2035," stated Jim Rowan, CEO of Volvo Cars. He went on to say, “This would not only be consistent with the Paris Agreement's aim of 100 percent zero-emission vehicle sales in Europe by 2035, but it would also be the moral thing to do. The time to escape the worst effects of global warming is quickly running out. Now is the time for the EU to reaffirm its leadership in climate action at this critical juncture."

Setting a deadline for fossil-fuel car sales will also kick-start a systemic transformation in Europe's car industry, making it a global leader in a key sector for a net-zero future, according to the companies, which also include utilities Iberdrola and Vattenfall, as well as companies that operate large fleets like Zurich and Sanofi. Many people are concerned about the shortage of electric vehicles available to help them decarbonize their own transportation.

"We're glad to be supporting the open call to EU states and the European Parliament to ensure that all new vehicles and vans in Europe are zero-emission by 2035," says Tomas Björnsson, CEO InCharge, and Vice President E-Mobility at Vattenfall. Tomas said, “Our goal is to achieve a fossil-free society, and transportation electrification is a critical component of that transition. The electric vehicle sector will continue to mature in the next years, and Vattenfall will contribute to the EU's ambitious ambitions by expanding one of Europe's largest charging networks alongside partners. To demonstrate our commitment to reducing emissions in our operations, we plan to electrify our entire fleet by 2030."
Cars with internal combustion engines account for almost a third of all oil imports into Europe. Switching to fossil-free road transportation would improve the continent's energy security while also reducing the billions of euros it spends on oil each year.

In June, the European Parliament and EU states will decide on their positions on the 2035 objective for zero-emission vehicles. The final bill is expected to be passed in the autumn after talks.

**A vintage [Mercedes-Benz](https://www.carbike360.com/cars/mercedes-benz) recently was auctioned at $143 million, which translates to 1,100 crores in Indian currency. This is now the most expensive car ever sold**. 
![1955_MercedesBenz_300SLRUhlenhautCoupe15.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/1955_Mercedes_Benz_300_SLR_Uhlenhaut_Coupe15_cf2a21a935.jpg)

A 1955 [Mercedes-Benz](https://www.carbike360.com/cars/mercedes-benz) was auctioned for $143 million (about Rs 1,100 crore), making it the most expensive car ever sold.
CNBC reported that RM Sotheby's in Canada revealed earlier this month that it had sold a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe for 135 million euros, or roughly $143 million. 

The deal shattered the previous record for the most expensive car sold at auction by more than $95 million and surpassed the previous record for a car sold privately by more than $70 million.
Simon Kidston, a British vehicle collector, advisor, and dealer, placed the winning offer on behalf of an anonymous client. According to the report, Kidston persuaded the Mercedes-Benz board for 18 months to explore selling the car.
![mercedes](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/mercedes_41bb9c85bd.jpg)

The auction, which was originally reported by Hagerty Insider, took place on May 5 at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, in a private and highly unique auction. Only a small number of collectors and Mercedes-Benz customers were invited.

The 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe was one of only two built in 1955 and is considered one of the most valuable automobiles ever made. It was created by Mercedes' race department and named for Rudolf Uhlenhaut, the company's chief engineer and designer.

The car was based on the W 196 R Grand Prix car, which won two World Championships with Juan Manuel Fangio as the driver. With a larger 3.0-liter engine and a top speed of 180 mph, the 300 SLR was one of the quickest road-legal cars at the time.

Both of the 300 SLR automobiles were held by Mercedes-Benz, and the May 5 auction caught many collectors off guard.

**[Tesla Inc](https://www.carbike360.com/cars/tesla). plans to keep employees in a closed loop in its facility in Shanghai, China. Tesla workers have been sleeping on the factory floors for the past six weeks as they have been working 12-hours six days a week**.
![tesla](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tesla_585aac102a.jpg)

[Tesla Inc.](https://www.carbike360.com/cars/tesla) wants to keep employees at its Shanghai factory working in a so-called closed-loop system until mid-June, according to people familiar with the situation, even as Chinese authorities lift wider lockdown restrictions in the city. Thousands of Tesla workers have been sleeping on the factory floor south of Shanghai for the past six weeks, working 12-hour shifts six days a week to restart production after a weeks-long halt due to the lockdown. According to the report from Bloomberg, Tesla wants to put those workers in a dormitory and keep them in a closed loop until June 13. 

According to the people, Tesla is also attempting to launch a second shift at the facility as soon as next week so that car manufacturing can restart around the clock once the supply of auto parts and other components improves.
According to the persons, executives are currently discussing with Shanghai authorities over housing for workers on existing and prospective shifts. According to one of the people, they could be put in makeshift dorms or abandoned Covid isolation units.

The corporation had wanted to bus most workers from their homes on daily shuttles, but local officials denied the idea, claiming that if individuals left their flats, they wouldn't be permitted back, according to the people.

Other persons familiar with the matter said SAIC Motor Corp.'s joint ventures — SAIC Volkswagen Automotive Co. and SAIC General Motors Corp. — are also hiring more staff. According to the people, SAIC personnel have been working in closed loops during the lockout and have not been given an end date.

Closed loops, also known as factory bubbles, were first utilized during the Beijing Olympics to keep athletes and support personnel separated from the general public. They typically require workers to only walk from on-site housing to the factory and back and to be tested for Covid on a regular basis. They've been widely employed in Shanghai, allowing the financial and manufacturing center to restart some production despite the virus's persistent restrictions.

Tesla China and SAIC Motor representatives did not immediately reply to queries for comment.

Shanghai is slowly easing a severe lockdown that has kept millions of residents confined to their homes for weeks, despite signs that the outbreak is waning. However, numerous restrictions remain in place on the ground, with residents needing special credentials to leave their apartment buildings, and many businesses, including restaurants, remained closed.

With two shifts operating 24 hours a day at Tesla's Shanghai factory, which is the company's lone facility in China, production may be able to scale up closer to the 2,100 cars per day it produces during normal hours.

A local government official indicated at a press conference earlier this week that the factory is operating at roughly 45 percent of capacity, and that auto-parts suppliers in the vicinity are likewise operating at a similar level.

The world's second-largest economy has slowed everything from consumer spending to manufacturing as a result of China's adamant determination to eradicate the coronavirus at any cost — typified by Shanghai's lockdown and restrictions imposed elsewhere in the country of 1.4 billion people. In April, industrial output and consumer expenditure fell to their lowest levels since the outbreak began in early 2020.

According to figures provided earlier this month by the China Passenger Car Association, no cars were sold in Shanghai last month, while overall passenger vehicle sales in China fell 35.7 percent year over year to 1.06 million units, the lowest level since March 2020.
