Preview: A conversation, an e-combi and a shark's nose

Even though the plant vacations are coming to an end here and there, the diary is not yet filling up again. Nevertheless, there is no shortage of topics. For example, the car trade currently has an electric problem. Used e-vehicles are hard to sell and leasing returns are regularly arriving at the dealership. We talk to a ZDK representative about the situation and what is expected of the manufacturers.

The Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric proves in a practical test just how suitable an electric car can be for everyday use, as battery-powered station wagons are still a rarity on the market. The Harley-Davidson Road Glide is an imposing sight, not only because of its generous "shark nose", but also because of its 380 kilogram weight: all the more astonishing how comfortable the American highway tourer feels on German country roads. We also present two new travel guides for the Moselle and Alsace and look back on the Opel OSV 40 tomorrow.

As usual, we will also keep you up to date with the latest news and developments in the automotive industry, the motorcycle sector and transport policy. (aum)
