Reus limped out of Saturday's 3-2 win at Stuttgart, after the attacking midfielder scored for the second match in a row, while centre-back Hummels did not come out for the second half after feeling unwell. Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said a decision on the pair will be made after seeing how they react in training. Terzic confirmed the second leg has come too soon for Sancho who is working his way back to fitness … [Read more...] about Dortmund wait on Reus, Hummels with Sancho to miss City clash

Volkswagen chief executive Herbert Diess joined Twitter in January, he used his first tweet to warn pioneering electric car maker Elon Musk that he was coming after him. The bold proclamation raised some eyebrows, coming from a carmaker better known for its 2015 "dieselgate" emissions cheating scandal than its green credentials. But all that has changed since the German group announced an offensive to dominate the electric car market globally by 2025, vowing to set up six battery factories in Europe by the end of the decade. "Volkswagen is the new Tesla," declared the Financial Times, referring to the now dominant Californian e-car group founded by billionaire maverick entrepreneur Musk in 2003. "Our transformation will be fast, unprecedented and on a scale not seen in the automobile industry in a century," Diess said at VW's inaugural "Power Day" last Monday, where he fired off a flurry of announcements. Industry watchers say it's a credible bet. Bloomberg … [Read more...] about ‘Das Auto’ goes electric as VW takes on Tesla

Apple Inc . entering the electric-car race could be a boon to Continental AG ’s Vitesco Technologies powertrain unit as it attempts a wrenching transition away from internal combustion engines. Reports that Apple is working on a self-driving EV have ignited speculation about how the technology giant would pursue such a plan. Talks with carmakers including Hyundai Motor Co. have fizzled, perhaps due to reluctance to aid a disruptive new rival. But for automotive suppliers eager to unlock fresh revenue streams, it would be much-needed business. “An Apple car would certainly be an exciting development,” Vitesco Chief Executive Officer Andreas Wolf said in an interview. “The more EVs there are, the better.” Soon-to-be spun-off Vitesco can’t afford to be picky. Car-parts makers are under pressure as the industry shifts toward battery-powered vehicles, which require fewer parts than gasoline and diesel-powered cars . Volkswagen AG last week became Germany’s most … [Read more...] about Apple car would be welcomed by parts maker pivoting to EVs

Germany will seek redemption for November's humiliating thrashing against Spain as Joachim Loew's squad look to get the fans back behind them by winning their first three World Cup qualifiers. Germany host Iceland in Duisburg on Thursday before facing Romania away on Sunday, then play North Macedonia three days later back in Duisburg. "We want to start the European championship year with an exclamation mark and please our fans again," Loew said after naming teenagers Jamal Musiala, 18, and Florian Wirtz, 17, in his squad. "Our ambition and goal is to get ourselves into a good starting position with three wins." A fortnight ago, Loew announced he will step down, after 15 years in charge, following the European championships, due to take place from June 11-July 11. He badly needs convincing wins to restore their fans' faith in the Mannschaft following November's 6-0 rout by Spain which handed Germany their heaviest defeat since 1931. In the aftermath, a survey of German fans … [Read more...] about Germany seek redemption as Loew starts swansong
