- At volume, some units will fail. What decides whether that becomes a bad quarter or the end of the business is not the failure itself. It is whether the manufacturer can produce evidence of how each unit was built.
- For more than a century, control over oil production and supply has been a source of global power. Whoever controlled the taps also shaped international politics and economics. With the renewable energy revolution now underway, the world is seeing a significant power shift from oil to a new axis of energy.
- On a recent visit to several automotive manufacturing plants in Detroit, USA, Jendamark’s innovations director, Yanesh Naidoo, noticed a striking pattern: a decline in commercial vehicle orders. This slowdown should be cause for concern, he explains in this article, because it’s an early warning signal to automakers. It’s time to buckle in for a bumpy ride into 2026 and beyond.
