“It seems the most logical thing in the world to believe that the natural resources of the Earth, upon which the race depends for food, clothing and shelter, should be owned collectively by the race instead of being the private property of a few social parasites.

— Ralph Chaplin

While more and more homes in Britain suffer severe flooding because of climate change, Rishi Sunak has decided that North Sea oil and gas extraction should be speeded up.

“Hundreds of new North Sea oil and gas licences to boost British energy independence and grow the economy. ”  (GOV.UK: 31/07/23)

This policy has now been confirmed and will be included in the king’s speech. More concerned with winning votes than the catastrophic effects of climate change:

“Sunak has already watered down the government’s climate targets, pushing back the deadline for selling new petrol and diesel cars and the phasing out of gas boilers, prompting furious condemnation from the automobile and energy industries.” (Guardian:05/11/23)

The excuse used by Sunak to justify his planned increase in fossil fuel production  is "to reduce emissions and boost UK energy independence."

These claims are simply not true.

Encouraging more oil and gas production does not reduce emissions - it increases them. If you expand the global market for fossil fuels then more will be used with the obvious accompanying increase in emissions. What is more, Rystad Energy, an independent advisory and business intelligence company, has stated that:

“ UK oil rigs are among the highest carbon emitters in Europe. CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere from extracting North Sea oil and gas reached 13.1MM metric tonnes in the UK in 2019, or 21kg of carbon dioxide for every barrel of oil produced – far greater than the Norwegian North Sea, which produced 4MM metric tonnes of CO2 in 2019, or 8kg of CO2 a barrel.”  (Guardian: 13/10/22)

But let us put this evidence aside for the moment and give Sunak the benefit of the doubt regarding emissions, and look at his other claim that increase extraction of gas and oil from the North Sea will “boost UK energy dependency".

Again, simply not true. It was reported only a few weeks ago that the UK EXPORTS 80% of North Sea oil which is processed abroad and then sold back to us at whatever international price makes the oil and gas industries the most profit. (CNN Business: 27/09/23)

The only way to secure energy independence is to have state ownership of our natural assets. But that is not The Tory way.

Unlike the Norwegian government, who invested their countries enormous oil and gas revenues in economic sectors across the world, creating a State owned sovereign wealth fund now worth $1.2 trillion in assets, our Tory government squandered the money, continues to allow private investors to reap the profits, and have refused to create a UK Sovereign Wealth Fund because they are ideologically opposed to public ownership.

While Sunak is forced to sell licenses for oil and gas extraction in order to secure at least some  benefits from our natural resources, the Norwegians impose  a 78% tax levy on private oil and gas companies.

“UK should match Norway’s 78% North Sea oil and gas tax, thinktank says.” (guardian:28/10/22)

But that isn’t going to happen. Instead, our ideologically driven Tory government, opposed to taxes of any kind and especially those aimed at the rich and corporate world continue to draw  headlines like these.

“Shell and BP paid zero tax on North Sea gas and oil for three years.” (Guardian: 30/10/22)

and

“North Sea oil and gas industry offered ‘get-out’ clause on windfall tax.”(Guardian:09/06/23)

The stark contrast between the way successive Tory Government’s in the UK have managed the “bonanza” of North Seal oil and gas and the way the more socialist Norwegian governments have utilised their natural resources couldn’t be more stark.

Big Oil backtracks on renewables amid fading climate agenda

Europe’s biggest energy companies are doubling down on oil and gas in 2024 to focus on short-term profits instead of climate commitments, according to Reuters.

The cuts by oil companies came after governments around the world had slowed the implementation of clean energy policies and delayed targets. This followed the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in 2022.

Major European energy companies that heavily invested in the transition to clean energy found their shares lagging behind US rivals Exxon and Chevron, which maintained their focus on oil and gas. Against that backdrop, companies, such as BP and Shell, sharply slowed their plans to spend billions on wind and solar power projects this year. They shifted spending to more lucrative oil and gas projects instead.

Shell, which once promised to become the world’s largest power company, stopped investing in new offshore wind projects. The company eventually withdrew from electricity markets in Europe and China, weakening its carbon reduction targets.

Norwegian state-owned Equinor also slowed spending on renewable energy. BP, Shell and Equinor cut low-carbon spending by 8 per cent in 2024, according to Rohan Bowater, analyst at Accela Research.

Reducing climate targets

The decline of oil companies provides bad news for efforts to mitigate climate change. Global emissions of heat-trapping carbon are predicted to reach a new high in 2024, which will be the warmest year on record.

2025 promises to be another tumultuous year for the $3 trillion energy sector as climate sceptic Donald Trump returns to the White House. China, the world’s largest importer of crude oil, is also trying to revitalise its staggered economy, potentially boosting oil demand.

Demand growth in China, which has driven global prices for two decades, is slowing, with signs that the country’s petrol and diesel consumption is stabilising. Meanwhile, OPEC and leading oil-producing allies have repeatedly postponed plans to end supply cuts as other countries ramp up oil production.

A climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, in November led to global climate funding but disappointed climate advocates who hoped governments would unite around phasing out oil, gas and coal.

Big taxes will be imposed on imports of electric vehicles from China to the EU after the majority of member states backed the plans.

The move to introduce tariffs aims to protect the European car industry from being undermined by what EU politicians believe are unfair Chinese-state subsidies on its own cars.

Tariffs on electric cars made in China are set to rise from 10% to up to 45% for the next five years, but there have been concerns such a move could raise electric vehicle (EV) prices for buyers.

The decision, which split EU member states such as France and Germany, risks sparking a trade war between Brussels and Beijing, which has condemned the tariffs as protectionist.

China has been counting on high-tech products to help revive its flagging economy and the EU is the largest overseas market for the country's electric car industry.

Its domestic car industry has grown rapidly over the past two decades and its brands, such as BYD, have begun moving into international markets, prompting fears from the likes of the EU that its own companies will be unable to compete with the cheaper prices.

The EU imposed import tariffs of varying levels on different Chinese manufacturers in the summer, but Friday's vote was to decide if they were implemented for the next five years.

The charges were calculated based on estimates of how much Chinese state aid each manufacturer has received following an EU investigation. The European Commission set individual duties on three major Chinese EV brands - SAIC, BYD and Geely.

EU members were divided on tariffs. Germany, whose car manufacturing industry is heavily dependent on exports to China, was against them. Many EU members abstained in the vote.

German carmakers have been vocal in opposition. Volkswagen says tariffs are "the wrong approach".

However, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland were reported to have backed the import taxes. The tariffs proposal could only have been blocked if a qualified majority of 15 members voted against it.

Germany's top industry association, BDI, called on the European Union and China to continue trade talks over tariffs to avoid an "escalating trade conflict".

The European Commission, which held the vote, said the EU and China would "work hard to explore an alternative solution" to the import taxes to address what it called "injurious subsidisation" of Chinese electric vehicles.

China's Commerce Ministry called the decision to impose tariffs "unfair" and "unreasonable", but added the issue could be resolved through negotiations.

The dispute has raised fears among industry groups outside the car sector that they could face retaliatory tariffs from China.

A trade body for the French cognac industry said the French authorities "have abandoned us".

"We do not understand why our sector is being sacrificed in this way."

It said a negotiated solution needed to be found that would "prevent our products from facing a surtax that could exclude them from the Chinese market".

'Serious concerns' over UK sales

Figures show that in August this year, EU registrations of battery-electric cars fell by 43.9% from a year earlier.

In the UK, demand for new electric vehicles hit a new record in September, but orders were mostly driven by commercial deals and by big manufacturer discounts, according to the industry trade body.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said firms had "serious concerns as the market is not growing quickly enough to meet mandated targets".

The industry has warned that drivers need better incentives to buy electric to help manufacturers ahead of the planned ban on sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles. Under the Conservative government the deadline for this ban was pushed back to 2035 from 2030, but Labour has pledged to bring it back to 2030.

Car makers are required to meet electric vehicle sales targets. Under the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, at least 22% of vehicles sold this year must be zero-emission, with the target expected to hit 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2035.

Manufacturers that fail to hit quotas could be fined £15,000 per car.

The bosses of several car companies, including BMW, Ford and Nissan, wrote to Chancellor Rachel Reeves on Friday saying the industry was likely to miss these targets.

They said economic factors such as higher energy and material costs and interest rates had meant electric cars remained "stubbornly more expensive and consumers are wary of investing". The average cost to buy an electric car in the UK is around £48,000.

They said a "lack of confidence" in the UK’s charging infrastructure was another barrier to encourage people to switch to electric.

Biafra: The Rising Sun of Africa

Biafra is a land bubbling with abundant human talents and resources. This is apart from the crude oil, God has blessed us with in the land. But, we are under subjugation by Nigeria Authorities since time immemorial. Independence of Biafra will be a great boost to our potentials. It will be like releasing the lions out of the zoo. We are really in a “Zoo Republic: with restrictions and maltreatments here and there.

Independent Biafra will be a land of milk and honey. Currently, we are wallowing in abject poverty and penury, in the midst of plenty. Our people in diaspora, are making waves in all areas of human endeavours in: manufacturing, medicine, engineering, agriculture, internet, name them. They are among the best, if not the very best. But right here in Nigeria, talents are being killed.

Nigerian authorities prefer foreign goods and services at exorbitant prices, to patronizing locally made ones, especially the ones from Biafra. Take for instance importation of refined petroleum products. Most of those locally constructed refineries, (they call them illegal refineries) in occupied Biafra, if licensed to operate, are capable of meeting our local consumption needs; and even exporting to neighbouring countries. A lot of those manning the local refineries are qualified Engineers and Technicians, who couldn’t gain employment in Federal Establishments like NNPC, due to tribalism and nepotism of Hausa/Fulani Government. The latter will always destroy those structures and round the people up.

We call on tribal Nigerian Government to reopen Chemical Engineering Department of University of Nigeria Nsukka in Biafra, shut down after the Nigeria civil war. The department played prominent role in the refining of crude oil into very clean: petrol, kerosene, diesel and other products. They were of very high quality. The school was also involved in production of hydraulic brake fluid for cars. Cocoa nut fluid was mixed with other substances to form it. They as well produced aviation fuel. The continued closure of the department is retrogressive.

Engineer Ezekiel Izuogu was frustrated from having car manufacturing company. He wanted to use hundred percent local materials. He produced a sample of the car. He made passionate appeal to the government for help. His request was never granted. One night, unknown gun men went and carted away his inventions. Those items couldn’t be traced anywhere till today. That ended his ambition. Nigeria is a land that kills talents.

A lot of inventions are going on in Biafra on daily basis. People are inventing cars, airplanes, generators without fuel, and so on. There is no encouragement. The Government won’t allow their products to be patronized by people, even if they are better than imported ones.

Biafra will be an advanced and industrialized country, shortly after its freedom from Hausa/Fulani colonialism. Biafran Government will revive moribund industries, and companies that litter our land. There will be massive employment opportunities. Youths fleeing abroad for means of livelihood, will be thing of the past. Crime rate will drastically reduce, as almost everybody will be engaged in one useful venture or another. Idle mind they say is the devil’s workshop.

Currency of the land of rising sun will be strong and stable; comparable to strong foreign currencies, like dollar and Euro. Black marketing of foreign exchange by Northerners, have been causing downward plunge of naira for decades now. Their bothers in Government give them those hard currencies, stolen from oil sale proceeds, to sell at ever increasing high rate to naira.

“Give them Biafra, in the next 20 years their country will become paradise”_ Gowon told Buhari.

“Give them Biafra in the next 50 years, they will become the world power”_ Queen told Obama.

“Give them Biafra in the next 5 years, we will become their slave and be begging them for food”_ Nigeria told UN.

“Give them Biafra in the next 50 years, each Biafra will be richer than any Governor in the world”_ the economist told the world.

“If Nigeria refuses to give us Biafra, every living thing in it will die. I repeat, if Nigeria refuses to give us Biafra, every living thing in it will die. BIAFRA OR DEATH”_Nnamdi Kanu told the world.

When Biafra is firmly established, we are going to take the world by storm.

Biafra needs a new generation of leaders, who are seriously involved in the struggle for actualization of our land. No saboteur, collaborator with Hausa/fulanis, or rogue politician, will be allowed to participate in the governance of the land. Currently, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the undisputed Biafra apex leader; along with his colleagues in IPOB. He has demonstrated the real leadership qualities, and unshakable commitment to the struggle. He has refused to be bribed or intimidated into submission. He rejected bribes money running into billions of dollars. God Almighty has actually entrusted him with the leadership of Biafra.

We won’t permit vultures and traitors, hiding under leadership of one socio-cultural organization or the other, to hijack the leadership or governance of Biafra. Take for example Ohaneze. The so-called leaders are elected, or selected by handful of members. They are never elected by the generality of Igbos. They are never representing Igbos or their interests. These crooks are only after their own selfish interests. Such persons use their headship of those mushroom groups, to sell out their people to Northern dominated Nigeria Government, for one favour or the other.

Most of them are discredited “retired politicians.” Some of them were former Ministers, Governors and Federal legislators; while some are still at the corridor of power. They are being used to undermine Biafra struggle, in pursuit of so-called Igbo President. Igbo elite are the most gullible, and self-centred set of people on earth. As well, they allowed themselves to be deceived, used, and dumped by their ill-educated, and half-educated Northern rulers for decades now.

While in office, these charlatans from Biafra loot the treasury under their care with impunity. They stockpile billions of stolen money, with the intention to pursue their narrow Presidential, or Vice Presidential ambitions; which they can never realize. They begin by buying their way, to become Presidents of socio- cultural groupings. We won’t allow them to play any leadership role in Biafra; even advisory role. They cannot reap where they didn’t sow. You cannot make a rogue your adviser.

Igboland is not landlocked. It is the imagination of our oppressive rulers, since the so-called independence. Our land was excluded in the establishment of seaports, among other deprivations. The Orashi River in Oseakwa Ihiala LGA, in Anambra State, is the closest potential seaport we have in Igbo land, that links to Atlantic Ocean. Lagos seaport to Atlantic Ocean is 60 nautical miles. Oseakwa project abandoned in 1959, is only 18 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean. When dredged, Oseakwa seaport can conveniently serve people in South South, South East, and part of Middle Belt. It is potentially the deepest seaport in Nigeria.

Osemoto in Oguta, Imo State is another potential seaport, which is also 18 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean. It is the deepest natural harbor in the country; over 20m deep. We are being relegated to the background, in all spheres of life. But Biafra restoration will take care of all these deprivations. https://powertrumpeter.org/blog2/?p=309.

thoughts on the BMW *inhale* B57D30S0 engine (a.k.a. the 50d motor)? y'know, the diesel one with the 4 turbo's.

It also seems to be quite common (at least where I live) for how silly it sounds on paper. Like, I see 50d-badged Bimmers on a weekly basis.

I can tell you, for one, that I should start setting up donations for my blog, considering if quad-turbo 5.0 liter BMWs are that common where you live a buck probably matters more to me than you XD

That aside... I honestly cannot figure out what it is for. Whoever is getting a 5.0 BMW is miles past any point where fuel economy is any concern at all, so what is the point? Performance? I mean, sure, short of getting involved with Alpina or such tuners you have no way to top 760N/m of torque, but who cares about torque enough to spring for a quad-turbo inline six and cares about horsepower little enough not to get the petrol V8 and literally get 99% of the torque and 32% more power? I can't imagine much of an advantage in noise (especially nowadays that it seems the noise luxury cars make is just whatever you want them to), nor any price differential that would matter to anyone buying such a car new.

I mean, one reason my mind would normally go to is driving excitement, but hell, the most exciting car it was ever mounted on was a 5-series, and far be it from me to say a large sedan can't be exciting, but I mean...

...look at this POV. Every second of this video I am asking myself "So what" and I am not seeing a ton of compelling answers. This is not even the most exciting way to go real fast in a specced-out current-gen 5-series, so what's the point? My only guess is to make going 260 the least exciting experience possible. And I understand that can be appealing to some but I am usually on the exact opposite end of the spectrum. (Usually. I do love me a good E38L V12.)

So for me, this 50d is best left off. Especially because then it spells 50d Off and I am a baby so that's funny to me.

Sunday 5th March 2023

Yesterday's trip is still on our minds and the 180km section of the Matilda Highway between Winton and Longreach still seems incredible to the sensitivities of a delicate English disposition. One long straight road; no deviation and not a single property in sight. Not one!

The overnight stop in our Motel was as endurable as it was practical. Fundamentally we were not there to experience the joys of Barcaldine, a fair town in its own way I'm sure. We were there to break the journey before removing ourselves to Emerald. In penance perhaps for this attitude we were awakened at 6.30am by road train rigs thundering along the highway that brushed past the reception office nearby and the lady on the little electric buggy that plied around the cabins knocking doors as she delivered breakfasts. Couple this too with the sounds of happy tradies with their early start to the day closing cabin doors and firing the diesel pick-ups, off to earn an honest day's crust. Altruism comes in many forms and the gift of life is prescious and all frogs need a helping hand from time to time. So it was for the very small animal of this species spotted desperately paddling around the swimming pool as we enjoyed breakfast. Clearly he couldn't get out unassisted so, knowing deadly things exist on this continent, a coffee mug worked adequately to beam him up and out into his future. One life saved.

Now I have to confess that I might have been hasty in condemning Barcaldine too quickly. It was on inspection quite a fair little town with a bit of history to it. It sits on the Tropic of Capricorn for a start. It is perhaps best known for its links with the great Shearer's Strike of 1891 and what a to do that was as you well know. This was seen as the first major industrial dispute in Australia. Wool prices were falling and pastoralists were proposing dropping the shearers wages from £1 per 100 sheep shorn if the employer was not happy with the work done. This didn't go down well so the Shearers Union and the Queensland Labourers Union met in Barcaldine to set up a strike committee. Much discussion took place, talks broke down, employers brought in scabs who were protected by the police and militia and it sort of went down hill from there. 1500 shearers met these forces arriving by train. Both sides were armed but few shots were fired. An armed uprising was avoided but 13 strike committee members and leaders were arrested and jailed. With them out of the way the strike lost its direction but agreement was reached resulting in the union being recognised but no more pay and the pastoralists were still able to employ non union members. The longer term result of this conflict was the formation of the Workers Political Party the following year, and hence the first Labour party in the World. As a symbol of the struggle the Tree of Knowledge (Ghost Gum tree) was planted outside of the Railway Station. Sadly someone poisoned it in 2006 and a new one was planted by the union hall. Well good old Barcaldine played a really important role in Australian history.

Driving out of Barcaldine a large roadside sign said Speedo Checks - 10kms. Do they check the elastic?

Further down the Capricorn Highway We came into Jericho. A sleepier place you could not imagine. A ghost town with tumble weed might be an appropriate image. Jericho achieved its name because it is built on the Jordan River. The town commissioned a very charming sculpture called the Crystal Trumpeters depicting the story of Joshua and the walls tumbling down at the sound of trumpets. A very unusual and unexpected piece of imaginative art for such a small place. We pushed on, stopping briefly in Alpha for lunch. (No omega as far as I could see) filling up with petrol since the notice informed us there was no more fuel for 135kms and we were a bit low! Carrying on we crossed the stunning Drummond Range, such different scenery after hundreds of miles of bush.

Now sitting outside our room for the night enjoying a glass or two of SB at the latest in our collection of Motels, this one in Emerald. Can't say I like it much, for some reason there's lots of noisy kids about, but it is only one night after all! I suspect the whole bottle will go.

[danny4xb]

Not to be not-really-very-old about this, but I remember being a kid in the 1990s when our household (and just about every other) got our milk in glass bottles.

You could have it pint by pint, delivered every day if you wanted, along with fruit juice or other dairy products. Someone drove around on a - battery powered - milk float every morning and dropped it off. The empty bottles were picked up returned for cleaning and reuse. This was the consumer end of a more decentralised milk system, where local farms supplied local dairies, so farmers would receive a decent farm-gate price for milk.

The thing that happened over the course of the 1990s was that supermarkets started using milk as a loss leader to compete with one another. They sold milk in tetra pak and/or in plastic cartons. Supermarkets also tend to sell in larger volumes than pint by pint, because you would be driving to the supermarket to buy it, and it’s more convenient to do that once a week.

Of course once people got used to the lower price of supermarket milk - the price that didn’t include the “last mile” logistics cost of delivery by electric milk float, or processing reusable glass bottles - people switched to buying milk that way. Smaller, locally focused dairies tied in with household delivery started to close. 

 While supermarkets were taking over as the place most people got their milk, their real competition was still with each other, not with delivery. So the price they charged stayed low, and they tried to keep the price they would pay for milk as low as possible too. This encouraged dairy processors into larger plants serving the national logistics of the supermarkets. This created an oligopsony facing the dairy farmer, and the milk processor, which fed through the artificially low price of milk sold in supermarkets to the farmer, forcing many to sell at a loss.

The plastic is a vital part of enabling this process. It takes less weight of plastic to enclose a given volume of milk, making it cheaper to buy up front than glass, and cheaper to transport longer distances serving regional or national sale distribution. It’s less breakable. The stock of glass bottles owned by a dairy is something that has to be constantly maintained. Once it was sold it was the customers - and then local governments - responsibility to dispose of. What’s an externality.  The diesel fumes from the big truck delivery. What’s an externality. The petrol fumes from people going by car to a supermarket. What’s an externality.

This is an example of a reuse system being destroyed by the workings of a market economy. The fact is though a reuse system operated quite nicely in Thatcher’s Britain. It didn’t have to disappear. Different regulatory or political  decisions could have stopped it. It might be the case that the power of capital will prevent us from doing relatively simple but vital things to live in a more sustainable way, but I think we let decision makers of too lightly if we pretend only a revolution could fix things.

Is VinFast's Pricing Competitive for the Indian Luxury Car Market?

The Indian luxury car market has been evolving rapidly over the past few years, with an increasing number of consumers seeking premium vehicles that offer cutting-edge technology, superior comfort, and enhanced performance. As more global car manufacturers enter the Indian market, the competition is heating up, and consumers now have access to a wider array of options than ever before. Among these entrants is VinFast, a relatively new player in the automotive world. But how competitive is VinFast's pricing when compared to the other luxury vehicles available in India? Let’s delve deeper into VinFast's pricing strategy and its impact on the Indian luxury car market.

Understanding the VinFast Car Price in India

VinFast, the Vietnamese electric car manufacturer, has made headlines for its aggressive pricing strategy, especially when it comes to their electric vehicles. In an era where electric mobility is becoming increasingly important, VinFast has positioned itself as a strong contender in the Indian market. One of the key factors that set VinFast apart is its attractive pricing structure for electric vehicles (EVs), which is expected to appeal to Indian consumers.

The VinFast car price in India is competitive, especially considering the high demand for luxury electric cars. Given that the Indian market is still in the early stages of embracing electric mobility, price remains a crucial factor in the decision-making process for buyers. VinFast has taken this into account by offering its electric vehicles at a price point that is significantly lower than many of its competitors, making it an enticing option for those looking to make the switch to electric without breaking the bank.

How Does VinFast India Compare to Traditional Luxury Brands?

While the pricing of VinFast vehicles is certainly competitive, it's important to consider how it stacks up against traditional luxury car brands in India. Established brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi dominate the luxury car market, and their prices reflect their premium status. These brands offer a range of vehicles, from entry-level luxury sedans to high-performance sports cars, with prices that can range from several lakhs to crores.

In comparison, the VinFast India pricing strategy targets a broader demographic by providing high-quality, well-equipped electric vehicles at relatively lower prices. This could potentially make VinFast an appealing choice for Indian consumers who are looking for a luxury experience but at a more accessible price point. With a growing interest in electric vehicles in India, VinFast’s competitive pricing could help it carve a niche within the rapidly expanding EV segment.

Factors Driving the Competitiveness of VinFast Car Price

Several factors contribute to the competitiveness of VinFast’s pricing strategy in India. Firstly, the manufacturer’s ability to optimise production and operational costs enables them to offer their vehicles at a much more affordable price compared to other luxury carmakers. The company's streamlined approach to manufacturing, paired with the use of cutting-edge technology, helps keep costs lower while still maintaining high standards of quality.

Secondly, VinFast’s focus on electric vehicles plays a significant role in shaping its pricing strategy. Electric cars generally have fewer mechanical components than their petrol or diesel counterparts, allowing manufacturers to reduce overall production costs. Moreover, the Indian government’s push for clean energy and the implementation of various incentives for electric vehicle manufacturers help to reduce the final price of EVs, benefiting both manufacturers and consumers alike.

The Role of Government Incentives and Tax Benefits

VinFast’s pricing strategy is also influenced by the Indian government’s focus on promoting electric mobility. The Indian government has introduced a range of incentives and subsidies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, including tax benefits, rebates, and lower GST rates for EVs. These incentives directly impact the final cost of electric vehicles, making them more affordable for the average consumer.

For VinFast, these government initiatives provide an opportunity to offer even more competitive pricing. With the backing of government policies aimed at reducing the price of electric vehicles, VinFast can provide consumers with a luxurious yet cost-effective solution for those looking to invest in a sustainable future.

Will VinFast’s Competitive Pricing Lead to Market Share Growth in India?

VinFast’s competitive pricing, coupled with the increasing demand for electric vehicles, positions the brand well for growth in the Indian market. The Indian consumer is becoming more environmentally conscious and is looking for alternatives to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. As VinFast India continues to expand its range of electric vehicles, its pricing strategy will play a pivotal role in determining its success.

While it’s still early days for VinFast in India, the brand’s pricing is certainly appealing. For consumers who are looking for a luxury electric car but aren’t willing to pay the hefty premiums associated with traditional luxury brands, VinFast offers an attractive proposition. Moreover, the shift towards electric mobility in India is expected to accelerate, with many more consumers likely to make the switch as the infrastructure for EVs improves and more choices become available at competitive price points.

Conclusion: Is VinFast’s Pricing Truly Competitive?

VinFast has made a bold entrance into the Indian luxury car market with its competitive pricing strategy. The VinFast car price is certainly appealing to consumers seeking luxury electric vehicles without paying the premium prices of traditional luxury brands. By offering high-quality electric cars at a more accessible price, VinFast India is poised to carve out a niche in the burgeoning Indian EV market.

As the demand for electric vehicles continues to grow in India, VinFast's pricing strategy will likely continue to be a key differentiator. For many consumers, the combination of luxury, technology, and affordability makes VinFast a compelling option. If VinFast continues to innovate and adjust its pricing to suit the evolving needs of the Indian consumer, it could very well establish itself as a major player in the Indian luxury car market.

A wave of demonstrations across Angola has been triggered by a government decision to cut subsidies for petrol. 

The move to cut the subsidies was aimed at curbing government spending — but resulted in sharp fuel price hikes.

Thousands of young people — including many motorcycle taxi drivers — demonstrated on Saturday against the increase in fuel prices in the Angolan capital, Luanda, and other cities in the southern African country.

Heavy-handed police tactics

In Luanda, a heavy police presence patrolled the streets from Saturday morning, before firing tear gas to disperse a crowd that had gathered in the east of the capital. Several people were injured and the police made multiple arrests. 

"In Luanda, we arrested 32 demonstrators, and in Benguela, 55. The demonstrators were violent and attempted to set up roadblocks with burning fuel canisters and rubber tires," police spokesman Mateus Rodrigues told a press conference.

Activist Dito Dali, one of the organizers of the Luanda protest, contradicted the police account.

"We were peaceful. The police used violence without any reason. We have hundreds of photos and videos of the injured, some of which we have also posted on social media. It is only thanks to our composure that there were no deaths — as happened recently in Huambo," Dali told DW, referring to a protest in the central city during which police opened fire on a demonstration that authorities said had turned violent. Five people died in the Huambo protest. 

Fuel price hike was the last straw

The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had long been calling for Angola to reduce fuel subsidies, and their removal resulted in the gasoline price increasing from 165 kwanza (€0.25) to 300 kwanza (€0.48) per liter on May 3, 2023. 

Angola is one of Africa's largest oil producers;however, it does not have sufficient refineries to meet its domestic demand for diesel and gasoline and therefore has to import a large portion of fuel at high costs.

Consumer fuel prices were heavily subsidized, which meant that fuel prices for end consumers were kept very low. But in 2022, fuel subsidies burdened the Angolan state budget with approximately €3.2 billion. 

Street vendors at risk

Even higher costs are expected this year. Angola's street vendors have also been bearing the brunt of the price hikes.

"It is unbearable that the government continues to make our lives more difficult," street vendor Custodia dos Santos told DW reporter Borralho Ndomba in Luanda.

"That's why we joined the taxi drivers in their protests against the increase in fuel prices. Our survival and the survival of our children are at risk."

Custodia also mentioned the daily harassment street vendors face as Luanda's provincial government tightens measures against informal street traders. 

"We are regularly detained by security personnel or the police," she said. "We have to keep giving them money just to be able to continue working."

NGOs also under pressure

The protests have been further fueled by hundreds of NGO workers who are also very dissatisfied with their government which supports a new bill that aims to further regulate NGOs and associations.

Several Angolan NGOs launched a nationwide campaign against the proposed law earlier this week and warned that the government's goal was mainly to "control organizations." 

"If this law is enforced, we will find it difficult to continue our work," said Guilherme Neves, chairman of the human rights organization Associacao Maos Livres ("Free Hands Association") which has long been involved in helping persecuted activists and journalists.

The new law proposed by the ruling party MPLA is a kind of "license to erase non-governmental organizations that are not government-compliant," Neves added.

The OMUNGA Association — which has been promoting rural development and implementing rural projects for years — also sees itself threatened by the new law.

"Our government is becoming increasingly authoritarian. They want to control and regulate everything; they want to influence all activities of civil society. This is totalitarian," the association said in a statement.

"The protests of last weekend were only the beginning of our nationwide resistance movement," said activist Dito Dali.

"They will have to get used to the fact that we will no longer remain silent. The increase in fuel prices was just the straw that broke the camel's back."
