So if I'm reading the blacked out bits correctly a deal has been sorted ? Now waiting on paper work to be sorted ? So another 6 months ?
It takes a long time to translate documents... Maybe they should just all use emojis or pictures instead to streamline the process

Hey Bags very much appreciate the time & effort you put into researching facts about this shitshow.

This whole ordeal is tiring, draining & disheartening, so much lost time but screw the thieving scum & stand strong holders.
The longer this takes the more stubborn I’m becoming, we’ve all sacrificed plenty waiting this crap out it’s beyond frustrating.
Give the corrupt actors what they’re entitled to.
Nothing.

Does the beagle have an opinion on whether Antoninette is now aware of the deception by the snakes?

Well he’s more relaxed on his walks these days so I’d say that’s a yes

Hi Guys,

Just a quick message to make sure you all take care of yourselves.

Whichever way it plays out, the most important thing is that you and your families are healthy. I might be oversharing here (and using this as a bit of a vent), but my best friend's 2 wk old has a condition that has a 100% mortality rate (they're taking him off ECMO today).

Money is great, but it comes and goes. This, has just reminded us all that life really is too short to stress over the littler things in life.

Take care all.

Fremantle Highway, doesn't look promising.

It was obvious this had to come:
The International Maritime Organisation is planning new regulations for ships carrying electric vehicles with a growing number of ship fires blamed on the cars.

It's a pretty reasonable concern I think

We all know that EV's are so much better for the environment than burning fossil fuels but there is a question around fires with the batteries that cannot be ignored and needs to be addressed as development continues

Yes mate that's quite right but christ god help us if they start reporting evey oil rig, fpso, gas/oil refinery fire not to mention gas car fires. There wouldn't be any room for real news. Cheers.

Here is another electric vehicle talkfest that may never eventuate without a Manono mining Licence

A new vision of producing new vehicles to renew motor carts in all transport sectors in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been adopted by the government, the transport minister said during his visit to Kin Motors on Thursday.

"We are part of a vision to renew all the car carts in the city of Kinshasa because it is time that we can have dapper new vehicles circulating in the city, in all sectors of transport, including public transit, and private," said the Minister of Transport, Communication and Opening Up, Marc Ekila Likombo, in the presence of his colleague from Industry, Julien Paluku Kahongya.

The two government personalities made this visit to the facilities of the company Kin Motors to accommodate the assembly plants of vehicles of the brand "Kin" made in Congo, as well as electric vehicles with several ranges that will be assembled in Kinshasa.

"We are particularly interested in this project because as part of the equipment of the companies Transco, Trans-Academia and Spirit of Life, it is time for all the currencies of the country to remain on site. We can also assign them to other emergencies of the Republic, "added Marc Ekila, before noting that this project is part of the vision of the Head of State Felix Tshisekedi, that of reviving the DRC in the concert of Nations.

Vehicles made in Congo must cost less than 10,000 USD

The price of these vehicles made in Congo, zero kilometers must cost less than 10,000 US dollars, revealed Julien Paluku Kahongya who argued that the arrival of Kin Motors, after Supreme Automobile / Mercedes-Benz, is in order to materialize the vision of the President of the Republic, Felix Tshisekedi.

This vision consists in resurrecting "Industrial Limete", by limiting the bill for importing vehicles.

The 2nd Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company "Kin Motors", De Oliviera, for his part, requested the installation of other vehicle assembly plants in the Maluku Pilot Special Economic Zone.

He said that this company will develop the automotive industry in the DRC and intends to create wealth and jobs in the country.

Should we interpret the appointment of an arbitrator 3 days ago as negotiations gone sour ?
Naa id say its just the process. Not like AVZ can say, lets put a hold on progressing it for a week or two. Until an agreement is signed sealed and delivered and its withdrawn completely its all ahead full for the courts

They'd be mad to drop the case, imagine how fast DRC would backflip!

What I am trying to say is that in future to be able to ship EV's the battery design has to be safer, ie progressing to solid state batteries is a natural progression.
Not only from the point of performance, but also from the point of safety.

I haven't bought an EV as yet, simply in my eyes the performance for me doesn't meet what I want from a car.
But that is not the issue here.
The issue here is safety and people will be forced to do things safer.

Yes solid state batteries are more expensive, still in early stage.
However Insurance companies are in future not going to cover car carriers full with cars with lithium ion batteries, the way it is done at this very moment. It is obvious that this will happen.

Same thing happened in 70's after a couple of tanker explosions and investigations, made people realise what was going on.
The result was that Inert Gas Systems became a standard piece of kit on tankers, to be used to maintain a positive inert atmosphere in the cargo tanks. Being it a lean or rich atmosphere, but outside of the explosive range, especially during certain operations.

Insurance companies simply will not cover ships, if the risk is too high.
Government regulations go hand in hand with Insurance Companies' rules.
ABS, Lloyds and DNV insurance companies' rules are in general stricter than Government rules.

Something similar will happen with Car Carriers and Car Ferries.
Cars on trains being transported through tunnels, like the Chunnel will be looked at in the same light.

Incidents/accidents do happen.
People learn to walk by falling and discovering that that hurts, at the end of the day it is better not to fall.
