Volvo Cars to be fully electric by 2030 - Interview with Lex Kerssemakers, Global Head of Commercial Operations

Description

In a challenge to conventional tyre setups, Volvo Cars will equip its fully electric cars with Recharge tyres for use all year round as standard in Northern and Central Europe. With a single set of tyres capable of safely handling a wider range of weather and road conditions than summer or winter tyres, Volvo Cars aims to simplify customers’ lives by avoiding the bi-annual hassle of tyre changes, while also reducing CO2 emissions. The Recharge tyres are the first tyres for year-round use to achieve A-class energy efficiency. This innovation is in line with the company’s aspiration to lead the industry in offering more sustainable products. Driving a pure electric Volvo XC40 on Recharge tyres can reduce energy consumption by up to 8 per cent and extend the average driving range, compared with driving on winter tyres.

After all, the ship had a lot of loads”.2.- “We are building another new 10 km canal from kilometer 122 to kilometer 132.

"We want to reach the World Cup and, if possible, win it," he says in an interview with EFE.FOOTAGE OF THE INTERVIEW WITH Toni Conceição, CAMEROON HEAD COACHTRANSLATION- "We have to bear in mind that we are talking about the biggest event on the African continent and there are teams and national teams that at this moment are still fighting for qualification. Obviously the coaches are not satisfied and they feel limited and conditioned in their options.I understand the position of the clubs, who want to protect their players. The club is the one that pays their salaries. In my opinion, the competition can be altered because one thing is to play with the best and those with the best ability and another to play with other players. We are not talking about the same thing.It is one thing to make people feel that the decision is not good for football and a wrong decision, and another thing is to enter into conflict, which is not our intention. We spoke with all the players, because we made a call with 37 players, counting with those who were in all the continents, and then we faced the reality that there would be players in Europe who could not play. We talk to them, we tell them the decision. We don't want to create a bad environment for the players. We do not want to create a climate of conflict with the club, which is not what we want.André Onana is not available for the reason that he had a problem with an anti-doping control. But others like Onana saves networks do Ajax, Ekambi do Lyon, Ganago do Lens, Moukoudi do Saint Etienne, Castelletto do Nantes or Neyou do Saint Etienne are players who for the moment will not be part of this call.We are organizers, in Cameroon, a country that has a tradition of great results in the African Cup. The African people live the national team with great fervor and enthusiasm.The coronavirus is unfortunately exposed throughout the world. It is true that the health organization of each country is very careful. When we concentrate we have 5 or 6 control tests.We are a balanced team. You can think that the fight for the first place will be between the Ivory Coast and Cameroon. I do not think so. I think Mozambique can enter that fight because it has done a good grassroots job. And Malawi is always an obstacle because playing against Malawi is not easy.Queiroz dimensioned the training method and the mentality of the players. From there other coaches appeared. The demands of the courses and later with Mourinho, with other coaches who emigrated and dimensioned the Portuguese coach.If a proposal appeared to me in the future to return to Portugal with a project in conditions to be able to work, obviously I would never say no. I am Portuguese and I would never say no to Portugal.I have a special club where I started my career at the age of twelve and where I was a coach, it is the club of my heart. I am linked to the past, present and future of Braga.I have a passion for technical football, I have worked and it is a team that marked a whole world that was Guardiola's BarcelonaMessi, Ronaldo, although it is not possible.I would say five to six with great capabilities to win the Ballon d'Or in a short space of time. Mbappé of Paris Saint Germain could win a ball.To win. Go to the final and from there meet our objectives to give joy to the Cameroonian people who need it. "
