Sergio Spinoza / Automotive industry, Motorsports / en / December 23, 2024

The automotive sector is entering a new era in 2025, where innovation, sustainability, and digitalization will be the key pillars. With the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), personalization as a dominant trend, and a shift toward online purchasing, the automotive market is ready to shift gears. 🔧🌍 This landscape not only redefines how vehicles are manufactured and purchased but also how they integrate into consumers’ daily lives. ⚡ ELECTRIC VEHICLES: THE NEW NORMAL The growth of electric vehicles is undeniable. In 2024, sales increased by 3% in Mexico, reaching 22,350 units in the first quarter, according to Mercado Libre Motors. 💡 Advances in range and charging times have removed many barriers, making EVs a leading choice for drivers concerned about the environment and fuel costs. 🌱🔋 Moreover, with the expanding charging infrastructure and tax benefits, electric cars are becoming not only more accessible but also more practical for the average consumer. 🎨 PERSONALIZATION: CARS AS PERSONAL EXPRESSION Buyers are no longer just seeking a means of transportation but a reflection of their style and needs. From functional accessories to aesthetic modifications, automotive personalization is booming. During the 2024 Buen Fin sales, Mercado Libre reported an increase in searches for products like batteries, transmission systems, and interior accessories. This highlights a clear trend toward vehicles tailored to individual preferences. 🛠️✨ 🛡️ CUTTING-EDGE SAFETY Innovations in automotive safety are revolutionizing the industry. Advanced systems such as 360° cameras, smart sensors, and driver assistance (ADAS) offer unprecedented levels of protection. According to McKinsey & Company, 42% of buyers would switch brands to access better safety systems, proving that this feature is crucial in purchasing decisions. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🚘 💻 DIGITALIZATION OF CAR SALES Buying a car online is no longer just an option—it’s the standard. Platforms like Mercado Libre Motors have streamlined processes, eliminating the need to visit physical dealerships. With tools such as online catalogs and seller verification, users can complete fast and secure transactions, enjoying a hassle-free experience. This not only saves time but also fosters trust between buyers and sellers. 🛒🚗 🌟 AN INNOVATIVE 2025 The automotive sector in 2025 will be more connected, sustainable, and consumer-focused than ever before. Brands must adapt to this shift by integrating new technologies and approaches that meet the demands of modern users. For drivers, this means more efficient, personalized, and safer vehicles, along with a simplified and reliable purchasing experience. 🔄

VITAL CHECK BEFORE HITTING THE ROAD 💥🚗

Sergio Spinoza / Automotive industry / en / December 23, 2024

Travel season is here, and excitement is in the air! 🌴🏖️ Whether you’re planning a beach getaway, a family visit, or a camping trip with friends, don’t forget that the key player making it all possible is your car. 🚘 Before hitting the road, ensure it’s in top-notch condition. A proper inspection can prevent mishaps and guarantee a safe journey. Here’s a breakdown of the essential points to check and why they matter. Road trips come with their risks: from potholes and construction zones to unpredictable weather 🌧️ or reckless drivers. However, a preventive check-up can be your best defense. This inspection can be done at home, at a gas station, or with the help of experts at a specialized service center. 💡 Tip: If your next scheduled car maintenance is coming up, move it forward. This way, your filters, brakes, and lubricants will be in perfect condition before the trip. 1️⃣ WINDSHIELD WIPERS 🌧️ Nothing ruins a trip more than blurry visibility. Your windshield wipers should be in good shape, with no dry or cracked rubber. Test their functionality before leaving. Clear visibility can make all the difference on a rainy day. 2️⃣ LIGHTS CHECK 💡 Your lights are your best allies on the road. From turn signals to fog lights, ensure everything is working properly. During rain or dark stretches, they could save you from an accident. 3️⃣ TIRES READY TO GO 🚗💨 Check the air pressure and ensure no objects are stuck in the tires. A damaged tire can lead to an unexpected blowout, especially on long trips. 4️⃣ BRAKES IN TOP CONDITION 🛑 A slight screech when braking might be a warning sign. Brake pads should be checked every 45,000 km, but if you notice anything unusual, don’t ignore it. 5️⃣ STEERING STABILITY 🔄 Precise steering is crucial for straight roads and curves. Test it by letting go of the wheel for a few seconds on a straight stretch; if the car doesn’t veer off, everything is fine. 6️⃣ SHOCK ABSORBERS IN SHAPE 🛞 Shock absorbers protect you from potholes and uneven terrain. Replace them if they’ve been in use for over 80,000 km. 7️⃣ FLUID LEVELS 💧 Check the oil, coolant, brake fluid, and water. Low levels can be catastrophic for the engine. If you spot leaks under your vehicle, take it to the workshop immediately! 8️⃣ GAS TANK, ALWAYS FULL ⛽ Don’t rely on a half-full tank. Traffic jams or unexpected detours can consume more fuel than expected. Don’t forget to check seat belts, air conditioning, windows, and even the Bluetooth system to ensure everything works smoothly. Additionally, carrying a multi-purpose engine treatment can optimize fuel consumption and prevent issues with the injection system. If your car has over 120,000 km on the odometer, give it extra care. Using a high-mileage treatment can extend the engine’s life and protect it under extreme conditions. 🎯 Remember: A well-maintained car is synonymous with a safe and stress-free trip. 🌟 So, before heading out, give your car the attention it deserves and get ready to enjoy your adventure to the fullest! 🚗

The game ended in a flurry—or given the season, a snowstorm—of goals, with the “Reds” triumphing 6-3. This victory solidifies Liverpool’s status as one of the best, if not the best, teams in England and Europe. Liverpool Takes the Lead At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the visitors wasted no time asserting dominance. Early chances hinted at what was to come, and in the 23rd minute, Liverpool capitalized. Trent Alexander-Arnold delivered a pinpoint cross to Luis Díaz, who expertly headed the ball home for the 0-1 lead. Liverpool’s relentless attack paid off again in the 36th minute. A rebound in the box allowed Alexis Mac Allister to anticipate Fraser Forster’s movement and nod the ball into the net, making it 0-2. Tottenham Closes the Gap It took Tottenham 40 minutes to respond, but James Maddison finally broke through with a brilliant strike. After winning a loose ball near the edge of the area, Maddison unleashed a shot to the near post that left Alisson frozen, cutting the deficit to 1-2. Liverpool’s Onslaught Continues Despite Tottenham’s response, Liverpool didn’t let up. Just before halftime, Mohamed Salah set up Dominik Szoboszlai, who coolly slotted the ball past the keeper to make it 1-3 at the break.In the second half, Liverpool kept the pressure high. In the 54th minute, Cody Gakpo led a counterattack that ended with Salah tapping in after a chaotic sequence in the box, extending the lead to 1-4. Salah struck again in the 60th minute, finishing a slick team move with an easy tap-in from Szoboszlai’s assist, making it 1-5. Spurs Fight Back Despite the lopsided scoreline, Tottenham continued to push forward. In the 72nd minute, Dejan Kulusevski volleyed home a lofted pass from Dominic Solanke, narrowing the gap to 2-5. Ten minutes later, Brennan Johnson set up Solanke, who finished with a half-volley, bringing the score to 3-5.
