New Car Information: Mazda 2 and Mazda 6 Full Model Change in Best Car September 10 Issue

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 18, 2023

“Best Car” September 10 issue
Publisher: Kodansha BC / Kodansha
Special price: 510 yen (main unit 464 yen + tax)

In the monthly issue, it’s already September, but it’s still hot!! The September 10 issue of “Best Car” features a new car festival in the middle of summer. New car information such as Toyota “Alphard / Vellfire” test drive, Toyota “Land Cruiser” new model announcement, Honda “N-BOX” full model change, Mitsubishi “Triton” world premiere, etc.

What’s even hotter is the new model car that will appear in the future, the manufacturer that will appear in Super Spy Scoop is Mazda!! The latest information on the full model change of the compact car “Mazda 2” and sedan “Mazda 6”.

Information on the full model change of Mazda 2 had been stopped for a while, but suddenly it seems that information on the next model was obtained. The most interesting part of the information is the design. It is said that there are elements in the next Mazda 2 that are not included in Mazda’s design theme “Soul of Motion Design” that started in 2010.

Another piece of information that raises expectations is the next-generation Mazda 6. This is also new information where information has been lost for a while. It seems that it is related to the fact that Mazda’s large product group is highly evaluated. Like the next Mazda 2, the design is worth paying attention to.

In “Isn’t it just the big motors that are to blame!?”, Mr. Fumihiro Hagiwara, a car writer who has a deep knowledge of the used car industry, talks about the reality of fraudulent billing and the dark side of the industry. Big Motor’s fraud, and allegations that may be found in the future. Behind the “rapid growth”? Let’s put an end to “Honest people see fools”.

The Climate and Transformation Fund Falls Short in Funding Rail Infrastructure

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 9, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

As announced today by the BMDV, the Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF) is intended to help close the still open billions of holes in the rail infrastructure. That alone is dishonest compared to genuine funding from the federal budget. In addition, however, the KTF does not even cover all of the funding needs and raises more questions than it answers.

mofair Managing Director Matthias Stoffregen: “The figures make an impression at first glance: another 12.5 billion euros are made available from the KTF for rail. The truth, however, is that we are still a long way from the undisputedly required 45 billion euros by 2027. So how and where will the remaining funds come from? There is still a lack of 18 billion euros for rail!”

“Even more irritating is the statement by the BMDV that DB AG is also making its own contribution of 3 billion euros, which it is financing through a loan on the capital market, i.e. debt,” continues Stoffregen. “How can such an independent AG be burdened with such a burden of debt – as is repeated like a mantra in the course of the InfraGo project? Has every debt ceiling of DB Group, which could have accumulated debts of around 40 billion euros by the end of 2023 anyway, been abolished in the meantime?”[Tagesspiegel, Ausgabe vom 05.08.2023: „Mehr Kredite nötig – Bahn rast immer tiefer ins Schuldenloch“]

One thing is clear: the reduction of the enormous investment backlog in rail requires appropriate funds; Repairs as well as the expansion and new construction of urgently needed capacity costs – all the more so because the rail infrastructure has been spared damage over many years. But one thing is also clear: the project must be carried out with full transparency with a rail infrastructure company geared towards the common good, the future InfraGo.

On the other hand, the fact that the financing is now being divided between so many pots and shadow budgets does not promise any transparency and also suggests that the real financial requirements are still not in everyone’s minds – or at least not enforceable. The competitive railways, the entire rail sector and last but not least the passengers need planning security, which can only be given if the financing for the upcoming construction and repair projects is also secured. Using crutches such as additional debt for the DB Group does not bode well for the project. Honest and transparent financing via the regular federal budget would be more effective. The remaining financing gap of 18 billion euros must be closed.

DB AG must also ensure that the 3 billion euros in additional debt are not lost in the total debt of more than 36 billion euros, but are allocated clearly and transparently to the rail infrastructure. Additional equity increases, as envisaged by the BMDV, may also only be made available to the future infrastructure company oriented towards the common good and may not distort competition in favor of the DB EVU.

After all, the equity increases must not drive up the track prices, which are already the most expensive in Europe for long-distance traffic. The traffic turnaround towards more climate protection will only succeed if the rail system is also intermodally competitive.

Deutsche Bahn Introduces Shuttle Service to Improve Accessibility at Stuttgart Central Station

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 6, 2023

Comfortably and quickly from the station forecourt to the platforms: Together with the city of Stuttgart, Deutsche Bahn (DB) is enabling more accessibility at Stuttgart Central Station and is using a free shuttle service for this purpose.

The shuttle vehicle commutes daily between platform 16 and the station forecourt between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., making it easier for travelers who need assistance to cross the pedestrian walkway. There will be a stop with a bench on both sides in the future. The new vehicle can be used spontaneously and will supplement the offer for barrier-free travel from the mobility service center of Deutsche Bahn. In July, more than 10,000 travelers used the new offer in an initial test phase.

Today Thorsten Krenz, Group Representative of DB for the State of Baden-Württemberg, Nikolaus Hebding, Head of Station Management Stuttgart, Dr. Frank Nopper, Lord Mayor of the state capital Stuttgart, and Dr. Alexandra Sußmann, Mayor for Social Affairs and Social Integration of the state capital Stuttgart, jointly presented the new shuttle service at Stuttgart Central Station.

Thorsten Krenz, DB Group Representative for the state of Baden-Württemberg: “A barrier-free and comfortable way to the train – that’s important to us! In cooperation with the state capital, we were able to create a new service that makes the platforms at Stuttgart Central Station more accessible.”

dr Frank Nopper, Lord Mayor of the state capital Stuttgart: “Following advances from the municipal council and the population, there is now a permanent offer in the form of a permanent shuttle loop in addition to the on-demand offer, especially for older people, for families with children and for people who have a lot luggage are loaded.”

Nikolaus Hebding, Head of Stuttgart Station Management: “The new vehicle transports those travelers who need assistance on their way to and from the platforms on an ad hoc basis. I am pleased that we can thus supplement the offer of the mobility service center.”

dr Alexandra Sußmann, Mayor for Social Affairs and Social Integration of the state capital Stuttgart: “Travelling with DB to and from Stuttgart is becoming easier and easier again with the shuttle service.”

Environmentally friendly vehicles ensure comfort and safety

The environmentally friendly e-mobiles are equipped with seat belts and can transport up to five people at the same time. They drive at a maximum speed of 15 km/h and thus ensure a safe journey between the pedestrians.

The shuttle’s service staff is also proactive in reaching out to travelers who need assistance. The target group of the new offer should primarily be passengers with restricted mobility, the elderly and passengers with children and heavy luggage.

DB asks travelers with restricted mobility who can plan their trip up to one working day in advance to continue to contact the DB Mobility Service Center in advance. It helps with the planning of the trip and drives passengers with restricted mobility directly to the train.

Honda Unveils New N-BOX Custom for Fall 2023 Release – Preview and Features

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 6, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

On August 3, Honda released information on the new “N-BOX Custom” scheduled to be released in the fall of 2023 on a special website. Along with the opening of the site, we are holding a preview for the media.

The new N-BOX Custom has a dignified appearance by adopting a special bumper and interior. You should choose a simple and friendly N-BOX (standard type) or a high-quality and stylish N-BOX custom, or a model with a design that suits your lifestyle.

The new third-generation N-BOX was developed with the aim of providing a happy time for all passengers. The interior has a clear view with a sense of openness, making it easy to drive and realizing a comfortable space. The aim was to create a comfortable space where family and friends can enjoy gathering in the living room at home.

In addition, Honda’s advanced safe driving support function “Honda Sensing” is set as standard, so it can be used for normal driving, such as collision mitigation braking, lane maintenance support system (lane keep assist) and adaptive cruise control with traffic jam following function. The equipment that makes it comfortable can also be used without options.

Pre-orders will be accepted starting in August.

Stations with the Least Shadow: Survey Results of Tokaido, Sanyo, and Kyushu Shinkansen

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 5, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

For each station on the Tokaido, Sanyo, and Kyushu Shinkansen, I asked which station I thought had a little shadow. Considering the fact that the characteristics of the land where they live are biased, we also counted by the place of residence of the respondents, but the majority did not change.

“I’ve never gotten off” and “the shadow is thin” are two different things!?

From Friday, June 30, 2023 to Monday, July 3, 2023, “Riding News” will conduct a survey of stations that have been used on the Tokaido, Sanyo, and Kyushu Shinkansen. Responses were collected from 1504 people.

Here, looking at the stations with the fewest “I have gotten off”, Shin-Omuta (3.4%), Shin-Tamana (3.5%), Shin-Minamata (4.5%), Chikugo Funagoya (6.3%), and Izumi, in order from the least. (6.5%), Higashi-Hiroshima (8.3%), Asa (9.2%), Shin-Onomichi (10.3%), Sendai (10.7%), and Shin-Iwakuni (13.7%).

However, when asked about “the station where the shadow is thin” after that, it did not necessarily match “the station I have never got off”. List the stations with 3% (50 people) or more answers.

[Question]Which of the Tokaido, Sanyo, and Kyushu Shinkansen stations between Tokyo and Kagoshima Chuo do you think has the least shadow? Please select up to five.

【result】

・Thick and narrow (58.0%)

・Chikugo Funaya (39.6%)

・ Mikawa Anjo (33.8%)

・Synergy (32.6%)

・Higashi Hiroshima (32.4%)

・ Shin Tamana (30.9%)

・ Shinfuji (29.1%)

・ Shin-Onomichi (25.1%)

・Kakegawa (23.6%)

・Gifu Hashima (23.1%)

・Shin-Omuta (16.2%)

・New Iwakuni (13.6%)

・ Mihara (11.4%)

・Water (10.4%)

・Shin-Kurashiki (8.2%)

・ Nishiakashi (8.1%)

・Shin-Minamata (7.2%)

・Mishima (6.4%)

・Tokuyama (5.1%)

・Sendai (3.3%)

Asa (Sanyo Onoda City, Yamaguchi Prefecture) was by far the most popular vote. By the way, last time I took a questionnaire only for the Tokaido Shinkansen, the top was Mikawa Anjo, followed by Shinfuji, Kakegawa, Gifu Hashima, Mishima …. There seems to be no change in the order this time.

[Explosion!!]Why Nozomi 204 went to “Mikawa Anjo”?
