Your view I believe, from reading your posts, is that America will swallow these costs and eventually become more competitive. Well short term that will hurt and long term I cannot see how they can compete with newer factories with cheaper labour in the East unless they cut workers wages and build new facilities but then they are just joining in the race to the bottom.

The VW ID layout—with its short hood and long wheelbase, lack of driveshaft or exhaust tunnel, and small overhangs—promises a low center of gravity, high cabin and trunk volume, and also a higher seating position compared to an internal combustion engine vehicle in the same class.

At one point you seemed to think I am pro globalisation, maybe you still do, but I will reiterate my view point. The problem is the West had moribund economies, with an aging declining population so there was a decreasing demand for products so economies were shrinking and living standards were falling trading with the East reversed part of that trend however the downside is the reduction in wages for Western workers. I dislike that same as any man however how do you solve the basic problems of the aging and declining population? Closing borders and going inwards only accelerates the end. My view is that rising Eastern standards of living and costs will meet declining Western wages and living standards at a midway point so we will not hit the bottom. I base this theory on observation of my friends in IT who were one of the first professional sectors to encounter the cheap labour of India. Their rates fell from about 10 to 1 to about 3 to 1 and have levelled out there to be fair they were paid double what I earned, I am an O&G I&C engineer, so the reduction has not really made them paupers and they still earn a good living and can get better rates that the 3 to 1 reduction for a bit harder work that they used to do, again they did not seem to have been unduly over worked previously.

VW says it will build the electric cars in 16 “e-locations” around the world by late 2022, including some in Europe and one plant in the U.S. VW isn’t sure exactly where, but calls Chattanooga a “natural fit.” Most of the plants, though, will be in China, where about 50 percent of 2025's 1 million annual EVs will be sold, with Europe representing about 30 to 40 percent, and the U.S. representing around 10 to 20 percent.

This article is largely directed at illustrating the development lifecycle for petroleum refining and petrochemical processes, rather than those in the pharmaceutical, biochemical, mining or inorganic chemical industries. The intent is to describe how best to navigate the complex maze of process development, starting from basic research and development (R&D) to technical readiness and commercialization (Figure 1).

The second important relationship to establish is with a catalyst supplier. Process development cannot continue unless the catalyst formulation can be reliably manufactured on a commercial scale. The goal is to select a supplier that has the capabilities to generate catalyst samples at a scale that closely resembles the ultimate commercial version. Typically, this requires engaging the expertise of an established catalyst manufacturer, preferably one with experience that is at least tangentially related to your invention. Catalyst vendors also provide valuable insight into critical matters, such as precious-metal loadings, supports, binder types and target physical properties.

The turmoil had started in Thailand after the national currency fell. As a result, the country had suffered from bankruptcy due to the lack of foreign currency support.

So you might be wondering: Why rear-wheel drive instead of front-drive? After all, VW’s had a pretty scant history of front-engine, rear-drive cars—it went pretty quickly from rear-engined, air-cooled cars to front-drive water-cooled ones in the 1970s and onward, adding AWD as needed.
