CHINESE EV SPECIAL! We’re in conversation with Michael Dunne, one of America’s leading car industry commentators, in this special weekday episode powered by MOTORS. Michael joins us from his home in Southern California, fresh from visiting the mega 2025 Consumer Electronics Show, the global tech event increasingly used by OEMs (especially Chinese OEMs!) to showcase their latest EVs. He gives us a rundown of what caught his eye. As the host of the influential Driving With Dunne podcast, Michael is widely regarded as one of the leading authorities on the Chinese car industry, so we quizzed him on his views on their plans for the US and Europe, which brands have particularly impressed him in terms of rollout, which are the most likely to succeed and the ramifications for dealers here in the UK and across the world. Michael also explains why he believes the Chinese OEMs are now leading the EV revolution, leaving legacy brands in the rearview mirror. We also sound him out on the future of Sweden’s troubled Northvolt battery production venture and more! #AllTheChatterThatMatters on Motor Trade Radio with Philip and Curtis. #automotive

🚨SUPPLIER SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE POD🚨 The latest in our series of Motor Trade Radio Supplier Specials showcases MTC. We’re joined by Anthony Brennan, Business Development Director, who tells us how the website builder is transforming the look, feel and functionality of dealer sites. The business works across many retail and business sectors. An early success was delivering the e-commerce website that transformed the fortunes of Brew Dog when it was a start-up. It is probably best known in automotive for the groundbreaking Silver Bullet platform that made e-commerce a reality for the Peter Vardy Group, one of the first UK dealers to make online car buying possible. It’s fair to say a lot of MTC’s bespoke automotive work has been under the radar working with groups such as Luscombe Motors, Saxton 4X4 and Ireland’s Joe Duffy Group. That’s all about to change as the business is ramping up its automotive portfolio and is positioning itself as the go-to website disruptor for top 100 franchised dealers, car supermarkets and large independents. Contact details Listeners wanting to know more about MTC can email Anthony Brennan at [email protected]
