He stated Scout has no plans to supply a standard, nonelectric automobile with solely an inner combustion engine.

The corporate’s first automobiles — a full-size pickup truck and huge SUV — will cowl about 40% of the extremely worthwhile U.S. gross sales market.

Keogh stated the corporate targets to be worthwhile on an operational foundation throughout the first full calendar 12 months after preliminary manufacturing of the automobiles, which will likely be constructed at a $2 billion plant that is underneath building in South Carolina.

“When you have a look at these revenue swimming pools, these two areas, from this measurement pickup truck to this sized SUV … these are the biggest revenue swimming pools on the earth,” Keogh stated.

Being worthwhile throughout that timeframe could be fairly successful, as present EV startups reminiscent of Rivian Automotive and Lucid Group lose tens of hundreds of {dollars} on every automobile they produce after a number of years.

In the meantime, Keogh stated an introduced software program deal between VW and Rivian won’t influence Scout’s operations. He described the $5 billion software program settlement, which incorporates the institution of a three way partnership, as an “thrilling alternative” for Scout.

“It is good for scaling. It is good for know-how. It is good for all the things,” Keogh stated.

Scout’s South Carolina plant is deliberate to have a manufacturing capability of 200,000 automobiles. Scout expects to make use of batteries — the most costly a part of an electrical automobile — from VW’s three way partnership battery cell producer in Canada.

The corporate opened reservations for the automobiles Thursday night time on its web site. Scout plans to promote the automobiles on to shoppers as a substitute of by way of a standard franchised vendor community like VW does within the U.S.

New SUV, truck

VW acquired the Scout trademark and title following the worldwide conglomerate’s $3.7 billion acquisition of Navistar, a successor of Scout’s authentic proprietor Worldwide Harvester, in 2021.

Scout Traveler SUV idea 

Absolutely electrical Scout automobiles are focused to climb 100% grades and speed up 0-60 mph in as fast as 3.5 seconds and provide practically 1,000 pound-feet of torque, the corporate stated.

Scout stated the automobiles will use the North American Charging Commonplace, an 800-volt structure with as much as 350-kilowatt charging functionality, and will likely be able to bi-directional charging that may enable the automobile to behave as a generator.

Robust market, competitors

The SUV is anticipated to be a competitor to conventional off-road SUVs from Jeep in addition to the Ford Bronco and Toyota Land Cruiser. It is bigger than Jeep’s well-known Wrangler, which is presently accessible as a plug-in hybrid electrical automobile.

The truck is a full-size pickup — a phase presently dominated by Ford, Normal Motors and Stellantis’ Ram model. However the electrical pickup market the place Scout will compete stays a growing market.

Automakers reminiscent of GM and Ford rushed to launch all-electric pickup vehicles early on this decade to compete towards a number of EV startups, a lot of which by no means materialized, in addition to Tesla. Stellantis is anticipated to launch all-electric and EREV full-size pickups by subsequent 12 months.

Scout Traveler SUV idea 

However after speeding the automobiles to market, gross sales slowed. Very similar to the general EV business, the big automobiles went from commanding important value premiums to being extremely incentivized.

Total, this electrical “truck” market, together with the SUVs, accounted for practically 58,000 automobiles bought in the course of the first half of this 12 months, in accordance with estimates from Motor Intelligence. That is lower than 1% of the roughly 7.9 million light-duty new automobiles bought throughout that point within the U.S., however a 35% quarterly enhance from the primary to the second quarter, in accordance with the info.

Keogh believes Scout can differentiate itself out there with its merchandise, decrease pricing and model attraction. Further Scout merchandise are anticipated to observe within the years forward, Keogh stated.

“Can we contemplate some level sooner or later sizing down? Completely,” he stated. “You need to throw the dart at the most effective place first. And I believe we have carried out that between these two automobiles.”

Lors d’une dialog téléphonique avec son homologue israélien Yoav Gallant, le secrétaire américain de la Défense Lloyd Austin a averti que « l’Iran ne devrait pas faire l’erreur de riposter », estimant qu’il existait actuellement « une event d’utiliser la diplomatie pour faire baisser la rigidity dans la région ». 


Les raids israéliens sont une riposte à une attaque aux missiles de l’Iran contre le territoire israélien le 1er octobre, un engrenage de violences lié aux guerres menées par Israël contre deux mouvements islamistes soutenus militairement par l’Iran : le Hamas palestinien à Gaza et le Hezbollah au Liban. 


La guerre à Gaza a été déclenchée par une attaque meurtrière lancée le 7 octobre 2023 par le Hamas contre Israël depuis la bande de Gaza voisine. En soutien au Hamas, le Hezbollah libanais a ouvert le lendemain un entrance contre Israël en tirant des roquettes sur le nord d’Israël, frontalier du sud du Liban, les hostilités se transformant en guerre ouverte mi-septembre.

« Dégâts limités » 


Le 1er octobre, l’Iran a tiré quelque 200 missiles sur Israël pour venger selon lui la mort, le 27 septembre, du chef du Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah et d’un général iranien, tués dans des frappes israéliennes près de Beyrouth, et celle le 31 juillet à Téhéran du chef du Hamas Ismaïl Haniyeh, tué dans une attaque imputée à Israël. 


En riposte, l’armée israélienne a dit samedi avoir « frappé des websites de fabrication de missiles […] que l’Iran tire sur l’État d’Israël depuis un an », ainsi que « des batteries de missiles sol-air et d’autres systèmes aériens […] ». 


L’armée iranienne a assuré que ces frappes n’avaient causé que « des dégâts limités ». « Seuls certains systèmes radar ont été endommagés », a annoncé l’état-major des forces armées. « Un nombre necessary de missiles ont été interceptés et les avions ennemis ont été empêchés d’entrer dans notre espace aérien. »

« Coup politique » 


Malgré les inquiétudes, la vie a continué son cours regular à Téhéran et Tel-Aviv.   


« Je ne pense pas qu’il y aura la guerre en Iran », a affirmé Sepideh, 30 ans, en se rendant à son travail à Téhéran. 


« On est inquiets, mais pas plus que ça », a réagi Yaniv Chen, 42 ans, sur une plage de Tel-Aviv. 


Selon des consultants, l’objectif de l’attaque était de démontrer les capacités offensives israéliennes tout en évitant l’escalade. 


Pour Joost Hiltermann, le directeur du programme Moyen-Orient de l’Worldwide Disaster Group, les États-Unis ont voulu que ces représailles soient « proportionnées, afin que l’Iran n’ait pas besoin de répondre ». 


De même, Hasni Abidi, directeur du Centre d’études et de recherche sur le monde arabe et méditerranéen (Cermam), estime que sous la pression des États-Unis, Israël a mené une opération « limitée » pour réduire les risques d’une « explosion ». Israël a « réalisé un coup médiatique et politique et non militaire ».

L’agence de presse nationale libanaise Ani a fait état tôt dimanche d’un raid israélien sur la banlieue sud de Beyrouth, un fief du Hezbollah, où l’armée israélienne avait appelé les résidents de deux quartiers à évacuer leurs logements. 


Les troupes israéliennes sont engagées dans une offensive terrestre depuis le 30 septembre dans le sud du Liban avec l’objectif de neutraliser les combattants du mouvement libanais et faire cesser les tirs de roquettes. 


Après un an d’une offensive dévastatrice et meurtrière dans la bande de Gaza où elle a affaibli le Hamas, l’armée israélienne a concentré ses opérations au Liban en y menant des frappes intenses et meurtrières principalement sur les fiefs du Hezbollah à partir du 23 septembre. 


Sur le entrance de Gaza, l’armée israélienne poursuit son offensive aérienne et terrestre dans le territoire palestinien ravagé et en proie à un désastre humanitaire. 


De nouvelles négociations sont attendues dimanche à Doha entre Israéliens, Américains et Qatariotes pour évoquer la possibilité d’une trêve à Gaza associée à une libération d’otages enlevés le 7 octobre 2023 et emmenés dans le territoire palestinien.

Fenerbahce 1 Manchester United 1: Onana’s double save and where does this leave Ten Hag?

		

			 		

	


		

		


Manchester United have been held to a 1-1 draw by Fenerbahce on Thursday night time.


The guests opened the scoring within the fifteenth minute by means of Christian Eriksen, who completed a sweeping transfer up the pitch. Fenerbahce pushed for a leveller within the first half, however have been denied by an unbelievable double save from Andre Onana.


After the break, they managed to get the equaliser as Youssef En-Nesyri linked with a header and managed to beat Onana.


Former United supervisor Jose Mourinho was proven a crimson card throughout the second half after closely protesting the referee’s resolution to not award a penalty, however his workforce held out for a draw.


Right here, The Athletic’s specialists Carl Anka and Anantaajith Raghuraman analyse the sport.




What does this draw imply for United?


United’s worrying development of conceding shortly after restarts continued towards Fenerbahce. This time, Allan Saint-Maximin drove down the fitting earlier than his cross discovered En-Nesyri.


The time of aim? 48 minutes and 39 seconds. Erik ten Hag’s response? Substituting Joshua Zirkzee and Victor Lindelof for Rasmus Hojlund and Casemiro. The modifications noticed United resort to their acquainted fashion of play, for higher and worse. Eriksen pulled the strings within the last third whereas Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte sat deep. Ugarte had his greatest efficiency in a United shirt — and it was wanted. United’s recreation plan to bait Fenerbahce’s press earlier than hitting the ball rapidly down the wings lacked the sting that powered the robust efficiency in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Brentford.


A disappointing efficiency from Diogo Dalot, who was caught out of place a number of instances at right-back, additional hampered the workforce’s fluency on each side of the ball. That incapability to regulate the sport could be seen in The Athletic’s match dashboard beneath.



Ten Hag’s males haven’t gained away from house in Europe since March 2023, a 1-0 victory at Actual Betis. United didn’t seem like conceding a second, nevertheless it was additionally tough to see how they could rating a winner. A late damage to substitute Antony meant Amad was a late throw of the cube, however United lack our bodies and confidence in assault. As Amad and Eriksen stood over a late free kick, with United our bodies loaded within the field, there was extra hope than expectation. Eriksen’s set piece was cleared on the first try.


A 3rd consecutive draw leaves United within the backside half of the Europa League’s ‘league section’ desk. They’ve a struggle on their palms to rise out of the play-off qualification locations and head in the direction of the seeded positions.


Carl Anka




Was Onana’s double save the perfect of the season?


Onana got here to Manchester United’s rescue with round eight minutes left within the first half, simply moments after Victor Lindelof’s well-timed sort out blocked an effort from En-Nesyri. The ensuing nook was performed brief after which cleared earlier than Fenerbahce recycled it to Sebastian Szymanski on the left. Poor communication amongst United defenders meant he obtained the ball in acres of house.


Dusan Tadic flicked on Szymanski’s whipped cross in the direction of En-Nesyri, who pressured a superb diving save from Onana regardless of the United goalkeeper’s preliminary motion within the different course.


  


Tadic hooked the second ball again to En-Nesyri for an additional header from point-blank vary however once more, Onana reacted brilliantly to get his fingertips to the ball and direct it onto the roof of the online.


  


The pair of saves saved United’s lead intact heading into half-time and shall be among the many season’s greatest goalkeeping moments. The closest challenger to this point is perhaps one other of Onana’s double saves, which got here towards Crystal Palace within the Premier League final month. It was additionally similar to David Raya’s improbable save for Arsenal towards Atalanta within the Champions League final month. The Spaniard denied Mateo Retegui from a penalty kick by diving low to his proper earlier than getting again on his ft to leap to his left and deny Retegui’s follow-up header.


Onana’s intervention was pivotal for United in a recreation the place the margins for error remained low proper till the top.


Anantaajith Raghuraman




How did Mazraoui carry out as a No 10?


A yellow-card suspension meant United have been with out their captain and talisman Bruno Fernandes, however Ten Hag sprung a shock by choosing Noussair Mazraoui as his playmaking substitute, quite than Eriksen or Amad.


“He’s able to coming there,” was the United supervisor’s clarification earlier than kick-off. “He can do good urgent. Then we are able to see throughout the recreation what is required. We will go together with him perhaps in one other place, and we are able to put a extra offensive participant in that place, or usher in a extra defensive midfielder and convey Casemiro in.”


Mazraoui — who performed as a No 10 throughout his academy days — didn’t take to the position in fairly the identical method as Fernandes. This was not the inventive hub round which United’s different attacking our bodies orbit, however as an alternative one thing of a second striker. The 26-year-old was an additional physique to assist with the workforce’s entrance press and performed easy passes when United entered the ultimate third.




United’s opening aim got here from a fast counter-attack after Ugarte gained the ball excessive up the sphere. Alejandro Garnacho carried the ball excellently down the left earlier than his low cross discovered the ft of Mazraoui. The Morocco worldwide supplied a easy wall move to Zirkzee, who then laid it off to Eriksen on the fringe of the field. Eriksen’s shot discovered the top-left nook and United have been away.


Often, Mazraoui reminded us why he isn’t an attacking midfielder by commerce. One heavy move within the nineteenth minute opened United up for a counter-attack, from which Tadic shot on aim (tamely). At half-time, it regarded as if Ten Hag’s experiment had labored. 5 minutes after that, Fenerbahce’s second-half equaliser noticed the United supervisor deliver on Casemiro to bolster his midfield and moved Eriksen to the No 10 position and Mazraoui to left-back.


It’s unlikely Ten Hag will repeat the trick for Sunday’s fixture towards West Ham United, however for round 50 minutes, Mazraoui did a satisfactory job as a No 10.


Carl Anka




How did Ugarte fare on his return to the beginning line-up?


In his fourth begin of the season, Ugarte displayed a number of the qualities that persuaded United to signal him this summer season. Eriksen’s presence and the relative success of the Mazraoui experiment meant Ugarte didn’t have to progress the ball, so he may focus as an alternative on recycling possession and slowing down the sport’s tempo.


He had a few iffy moments within the recreation’s opening interval however settled in nicely and performed an necessary position within the opener — however his greatest second got here a couple of minutes later.  Onana palmed Szymanski’s cross straight to Tadic, however Ugarte raced again and dived in to dam Tadic’s effort along with his foot, a lot to the delight of his team-mates.

A couple of extra necessary defensive interventions and neat move exchanges helped United see out the half with a lead. A type of noticed him hold tempo with Fred all through a Fenerbahce counter within the thirty fourth minute to nullify him as a move receiver, forcing Tadic again and giving United’s defence time to get themselves organised.


Even after Fenerbahce’s aim, Ugarte remained one in every of United’s higher defensive gamers. He ended the match with 4 clearances and three interceptions, each of which have been team-high marks. The Uruguay midfielder additionally accomplished 88 per cent of his passes and made two tackles. It wasn’t an ideal efficiency, nonetheless, as he gave away possession 5 instances and dedicated 4 fouls however, as could be seen from his participant dashboard beneath, this was a step in the fitting course.


Anantaajith Raghuraman






What did Erik ten Hag say?


Ten Hag spoke in regards to the damage suffered by Antony after the sport. The winger ended up leaving the stadium in a protecting boot.


“It’s actually unfortunate for him,” he stated, as reported by manutd.com. “I really feel actual compassion for him, when he labored so exhausting in coaching.


“His coaching performances are that good that he deserved to come back on. When it’s a must to come off so rapidly, that’s actually unhappy to see. Hopefully, it’s not too unhealthy, now we have to attend 24 hours for what the evaluation is.”




What subsequent for Manchester United?
