As modern vehicles become more electronically complex, diagnostics is no longer limited to passenger cars alone. Repair shops, fleet operators, and independent technicians increasingly find themselves working across multiple vehicle categories—from sedans and SUVs to trucks, agricultural machinery, and construction equipment.

This shift has created a growing demand for diagnostic tools that can handle different vehicle types without requiring multiple dedicated scanners.

The Growing Challenge of Multi-Vehicle Diagnostics

Traditionally, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles have relied on separate diagnostic platforms. Cars typically use standard OBD2 protocols, while trucks and heavy-duty vehicles rely on HD OBD systems and manufacturer-specific modules.

– For workshops servicing mixed fleets, this often means:

– Owning multiple diagnostic tools

– Managing different software systems

– Switching devices depending on vehicle type

Over time, this leads to higher costs, workflow inefficiencies, and steeper learning curves for technicians.

What Makes a True All-in-One Diagnostic Tool

A genuine all-in-one diagnostic scanner is not defined by vehicle count alone. Instead, it should offer:

– Multi-system diagnostics, not just engine codes

– Support for both passenger and commercial vehicles

– Bi-directional active tests for real-world troubleshooting

– Service and reset functions aligned with daily maintenance tasks

– Practical usability, including reporting and data management

Only when these elements work together can one device realistically replace several specialized tools.

How the ANCEL V6 Pro+HD Addresses These Needs

The ANCEL V6 Pro+HD is designed as a combined diagnostic platform for both passenger vehicles and commercial applications, including trucks and agricultural machinery.

Rather than focusing on a single vehicle category, it integrates OBD2 and HD OBD diagnostics within one system, allowing users to switch between different vehicle types without changing devices.

Passenger and Commercial Vehicle Coverage in One Platform

The V6 Pro+HD auto diagnostic scanner supports a wide range of vehicle types, including:

– Sedans, SUVs, MPVs, and vans

– Trucks and buses

– Agricultural machinery such as tractors and harvesters

– Construction vehicles including loaders, excavators, and cranes

Vehicle coverage spans over 200 brands, covering markets in Europe, Asia, America, China, and Australia.

Full-System Diagnostics Beyond Basic OBD2

Instead of limiting diagnostics to engine-related fault codes, the V6 Pro+HD provides access to multiple vehicle systems, including:

– Engine

– Transmission

– ABS / EBS / ESC / ASR

– Airbag and BCM

– SCR, DPF, and air suspension

– Instrument and body-related systems

This broader access enables more accurate fault identification, especially for complex drivability and emissions-related issues.

Bi-Directional Active Tests for Practical Troubleshooting

The scanner supports bi-directional active tests, allowing technicians to send commands directly to control modules and observe real-time responses.

Common applications include:

– Fuel injector testing

– ABS motor and pump cycling

– Cooling fan activation

– Door lock, window, and lighting tests

These functions are particularly useful for confirming whether faults originate from sensors, wiring, or actuators.

40+ Service and Reset Functions for Daily Maintenance

The V6 Pro+HD includes more than 40 service and reset functions commonly required in workshops, such as:

– Oil and service light reset

– DPF regeneration and related resets

– ABS bleeding and EPB reset

– Injector coding and throttle reset

– Battery, SAS, TPMS, and suspension reset

Function availability may vary by vehicle model and year, and compatibility verification is recommended before use.

Support for Trucks, Agricultural, and Construction Vehicles

In addition to passenger vehicles, the V6 Pro+HD is built to support diagnostics for:

– Heavy-duty trucks

– Agricultural equipment

– Construction machinery

This makes it particularly suitable for users managing mixed fleets or servicing vehicles beyond standard passenger cars.

Usability and Practical Features for Professionals

From a usability perspective, the scanner features:

– An 8-inch touchscreen running Android OS

– An 8000mAh rechargeable battery for extended use

– Diagnostic report generation with customizable headers

– Data recording and playback for historical inspections

Remote assistance is also available, allowing technical support staff to connect remotely when scheduled in advance.

Who Is This Type of Tool Best Suited For?

A multi-vehicle diagnostic tool like the ANCEL V6 Pro+HD is best suited for:

– Independent repair shops handling mixed vehicle types

– Fleet maintenance teams

– Mobile technicians and service providers

– Users seeking to reduce tool redundancy without sacrificing diagnostic depth

It may be more than necessary for basic code reading, but it offers clear advantages in professional or semi-professional environments.

Final Thoughts: Reducing Tool Redundancy Without Sacrificing Depth

As vehicle categories continue to overlap in terms of technology and electronics, diagnostic tools must evolve accordingly.

Rather than maintaining separate scanners for cars, trucks, and agricultural equipment, an integrated platform like the ANCEL V6 Pro+HD demonstrates how one device can cover multiple use cases—provided users understand its scope and verify compatibility for their specific vehicles.

Tata Motors has crossed a major milestone in India’s electric mobility journey, surpassing 250,000 cumulative electric vehicle sales. The automaker currently commands a dominant 66% share of the Indian EV market and has confirmed an ambitious product expansion plan running through FY30.

A key highlight of this achievement is the Nexon EV, which has become the first electric car in India to cross 100,000 cumulative sales since its launch in 2020. Tata Motors’ existing EV portfolio spans multiple segments and includes the Tiago EV, Punch EV, Nexon EV, Curvv EV, Harrier EV, and the Xpres-T for fleet operators.

Looking ahead, Tata Motors plans to strengthen its EV lineup further with the launch of the Sierra EV and a new Punch EV in 2026. These will be followed by the introduction of the Avinya range of premium electric vehicles later the same year. By FY30, the company aims to roll out five all-new EV nameplates, alongside regular updates and refreshes across its current range.

Charging infrastructure remains a key focus area. Tata Motors claims access to over 200,000 charging points nationwide and plans to expand this network to 400,000 chargers by 2027 and one million by 2030. The company already operates 100 MegaCharging Hubs offering charging speeds of 120 kW and above.

To further localise its EV ecosystem, Tata Motors will source battery cells from Agratas’ upcoming gigafactory in Sanand, reinforcing its long-term commitment to India’s electric future.

Renault has achieved a new electric vehicle efficiency milestone with its Filante Record 2025 demo car, covering 1,008 km on a single charge during a certified test at UTAC’s circuit in Morocco on 18 December. The run was completed at an average speed of 102 km/h, underlining the feasibility of long-distance EV travel at sustained highway speeds.

Weighing just 1,000 kg, the Filante Record 2025 completed the distance in 9 hours and 52 minutes using an 87 kWh battery—the same capacity as the production Scenic E-Tech Electric. Renault recorded an energy consumption figure of just 7.8 kWh per 100 km. Notably, the car still had 11% battery capacity remaining at the end of the run, enough for an estimated additional 120 km at speeds exceeding 100 km/h.

Aerodynamic efficiency played a key role in the achievement. Extensive wind tunnel testing helped Renault reduce the car’s drag coefficient from around 0.40 to 0.30, achieved through redesigned wheel fairings and reduced air intakes.

The Filante Record 2025 also serves as a technology showcase. It features steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire systems, extensive use of carbon fibre, and 3D-printed aluminium components. Special low-rolling-resistance tyres were developed in partnership with Michelin, while Ligier was responsible for the powertrain, chassis, and carbon structure.

Renault says the project highlights how intelligent design, lightweight construction, and aerodynamics can significantly extend real-world EV range without increasing battery size.

As millions prepare for Christmas journeys to visit family and friends, motorway service stations will be packed with travelers grabbing quick meals and snacks. But for those choosing to eat these purchases in their cars rather than inside the services, there are hidden health risks they should know about.

Vehicle interiors can harbor surprisingly high levels of bacteria - and the festive travel season, with its longer journeys and rushed meal stops, makes this problem even more pressing. Research has found that several areas inside vehicles actually contain more contamination than the average toilet seat, a comparison that might make you reconsider that next drive-through meal.

“The combination of factors inside a vehicle creates an environment where bacteria can flourish,” explains Kazimieras Urbonas, Supplier Excellence Manager at Ovoko, one of Europe's largest online marketplaces for used car parts. “When drivers eat inside their cars without understanding these risks or taking proper precautions, they're potentially exposing themselves to health hazards they'd never tolerate at home.”

Below, Urbonas explains why car interiors pose hidden health risks and shares expert advice on making your vehicle safer for eating.

Why Cars Are a Perfect Breeding Ground for Bacteria

Unlike kitchens, which are designed with hygiene in mind, cars create the perfect storm for bacterial growth. The enclosed space traps warmth from the engine, sunlight, and body heat, maintaining temperatures that allow microorganisms to multiply rapidly.

“Think about how often your car sits in direct sunlight or how warm it gets after you've been driving for a while,” says Urbonas. “These warm, humid conditions are exactly what bacteria need to thrive. Add food debris to the mix, and you've essentially created an incubator.”

Food particles easily become lodged in seat crevices, floor mats, and around the centre console. Even small crumbs can sustain bacterial colonies for extended periods. Unlike a kitchen table that gets wiped down after every meal, these areas often go weeks or months without proper cleaning.

High-touch surfaces present another problem. Steering wheels, gear sticks, and door handles are constantly touched by hands that have been exposed to petrol pumps, cash machines, and countless other contaminated surfaces throughout the day. When drivers eat without washing their hands first, they transfer these contaminants directly to their food.

The Dirtiest Places Inside Your Car

Research into vehicle hygiene has identified the most contaminated areas inside cars, with results that might surprise many drivers:

• Boot – 1,425 bacteria identified: The car boot harbours the highest concentration of bacterial contamination. Items like shopping bags, sports equipment, and dirty shoes all contribute to this accumulation.
• Driver's seat – 649 bacteria identified: The seat where most drivers spend hours each week contains nearly 650 different types of bacteria, fed by sweat, dead skin cells, and spilled food.
• Gearstick – 407 bacteria identified: One of the most frequently touched surfaces in manual vehicles, the gearstick collects bacteria from hands throughout every journey.
• Back seat – 323 bacteria identified: Often used for transporting shopping bags and passengers, the back seat becomes a repository for various contaminants.
• Dashboard – 317 bacteria identified: Despite being a hard surface that should be easy to clean, the dashboard's various nooks and air vents trap dust and bacteria.
• Steering wheel – 146 bacteria identified: Though it has fewer bacteria than other areas, the steering wheel is touched constantly, making it a key transmission point.

“What makes these findings particularly concerning is that the gearstick, dashboard, driver's seat, back seat, and boot all equal or exceed the bacterial contamination typically found on an average toilet seat and flush,” Urbonas points out. “Yet most people would never consider eating their lunch off of a toilet seat.”

What Happens When You Eat in a Contaminated Environment

Urbonas warns that consuming food in a bacteria-rich environment creates multiple health risks. Cross-contamination occurs when bacteria from surfaces transfer to hands, then to food, and finally into the body. This is particularly problematic with foods eaten by hand, such as sandwiches, crisps, or fruit.

“When you're eating in your car, you're usually touching contaminated surfaces and then handling your food without washing your hands,” explains Urbonas. “This direct transfer pathway makes it easy for harmful bacteria to enter your system.”

Respiratory health can also be affected. Mould and fungi that develop in damp areas of the vehicle, such as under floor mats or in air conditioning systems, release spores into the enclosed cabin air. When combined with eating, you're not only consuming food but also inhaling these airborne contaminants.

Digestive problems can result from ingesting bacteria commonly found in vehicle interiors. While healthy immune systems can often fight off low levels of contamination, repeated exposure or particularly high bacterial loads can lead to stomach upset, nausea, or more serious gastrointestinal issues.

How to Make Your Car Safe Enough to Eat In

Urbonas recommends establishing regular cleaning routines to reduce bacterial contamination. Weekly vacuuming removes food debris before it can attract bacteria, while monthly deep cleaning of all surfaces with appropriate disinfectants keeps contamination levels down.

“Use disinfectants specifically designed for automotive interiors,” he advises. “Some household cleaners can damage car materials, but automotive-specific products are formulated to clean effectively without causing harm.”

Pay particular attention to high-touch surfaces. Steering wheels, gearsticks, and door handles should be wiped down regularly, ideally after each journey where you've stopped for fuel or touched public surfaces.

Ventilation plays a vital role in maintaining a healthier car interior. Opening windows for a few minutes before eating helps circulate fresh air and reduces humidity levels that bacteria need to multiply. Regular air conditioning maintenance, including filter changes, prevents mould and fungi from colonizing the system and spreading spores throughout the cabin.

Volvo Cars has confirmed it will discontinue the V60 Cross Country for the US market from April 2026, as shifting customer demand continues to favour SUVs over wagons. Final orders for the rugged estate will be accepted until late January, after which US buyers will have to rely on remaining dealer inventory. Production of the V60 Cross Country will continue for other global markets.

The announcement coincides with Volvo’s 70th anniversary in the United States. The Swedish automaker entered the market in 1955 with the PV444 and has since sold around five million vehicles across the country. Over the decades, Volvo has steadily evolved its lineup to align with American preferences, most notably by expanding its SUV portfolio.

That strategy began with the launch of the XC90 in 2003 and continues today with models like the US-built EX90, which is assembled at Volvo’s South Carolina plant. The company has also revealed plans to further expand its American manufacturing footprint, with the XC60 set to be produced locally alongside a next-generation hybrid model tailored specifically for US customers.

While the V60 Cross Country bows out of the US market, Volvo says it remains committed to adapting its product range to local demand. To mark its seven-decade presence, the brand has launched a dedicated microsite highlighting key moments from its US journey.

As Volvo looks beyond its anniversary year, the focus remains firmly on SUVs and electrified models, reflecting the changing tastes of American buyers.

Car color impacts how fast other drivers see your vehicle on the road. Some colors jump out in almost any environment, while others disappear into the background and reduce reaction times.

Image source

For years, drivers have asked how car color and crash risk are related, particularly since visibility changes with weather, lighting, and the rest of the landscape. While color can never dictate safety, it does determine how easily others perceive your vehicle when in a real-world traffic situation.

This article examines how visibility shifts with various colors and how safety is affected in various situations.

How Car Color Affects Visibility

Visibility depends on contrast. When a vehicle blends into the road, drivers cannot register it quickly, especially during lane changes, merges, or unprotected turns. Black, grey, and deep blue are colors that often blend into pavement, building shadows, or at night.

Conversely, light or strong shades have greater contrast. They remain visible in dim places, bright sun, or heavy traffic. Visibility issues become increasingly apparent at dawn, dusk, or in shadowed road segments, where muted colors merge with the background more quickly than drivers realize.

What Research Says About Crash Rates and High-Risk Car Colors

Different research has shown a similar pattern throughout the years, but the most consistent is a general point: the darker the car, the more likely it is to be involved in crashes. Black rates as the strongest, just behind navy, dark green, and charcoal. These colors soak up light, not reflect it, making it much harder to observe from a distance.

Lighter shades, white, silver, and beige, show less crash involvement. Researchers say this suggests higher levels of detectability both during daytime and nighttime driving. The color of a car never guarantees an outcome, but data indicates that visibility is a significant factor in driver response time.

Bright and Light-Colored Cars Are Easier to See

Light colors reflect more light and allow drivers to quickly recognize these visual cues. White sticks out in nearly every context, which is why it often ends up as one of the safest color preferences. Yellow and orange also catch the eye quickly since the human eye tends to immediately see warm hues. A bright red tone is generally best against both natural and urban terrain, as it serves as a harsh contrast.

Weather, Lighting, and Environment: The Effect of Color On Safety

Changes in the weather can affect visibility on the road almost instantly. Fog, rain, and snow affect virtually every hue on the spectrum. Dark cars look almost invisible in heavy rain, and silver or grey cars disappear into the overcast sky and wet ground.

Lighting conditions aren’t less important. Streetlights, headlights, and reflective signs influence the play of colors at night. In underlit roads, the problem is compounded, making dark-colored cars invisible.

The cityscape introduces a new dimension: the shadows from tall buildings and glass distort color contrast during the day. Color alone isn’t enough to help prevent accidents, but it does impact visibility and plays a role in accidents.

Other Factors That Affect Accidents

It’s not paint that has a huge impact, but other factors like driver attention, lane discipline, speed management, and vehicle maintenance impact the results too. Even the brightest car could get in an accident if headlights fade, mirrors remain dirty, or the driver just drifts through traffic oblivious to it.

Safety technology, like lane assist, blind spot monitoring, and automatic braking, vastly reduces the risk of accidents, whether your car is black or white. Road awareness remains the most effective way to combat crashes.

Conclusion

Your car's color makes others likely to recognize it, and some colors provide better visibility compared to others. However, overall safety depends on your driving habits, awareness, and the condition of your vehicle.

Even better, awareness on the road makes more of a dent in reducing crash rates than any old paint code on a dealership lot.

Key Takeaways

• Dark colors are more prevalent in crashes, due to their lower visibility. Bright or light cars are visible in different settings.
• The visibility of all colors is dramatically altered by weather and lighting.
• Driver behavior and safety technology matter more than color.
• Color affects detection, but habits affect long-term accident prevention.

BMW Group Plant Munich has completed key functional checks of its manufacturing equipment ahead of production of the new BMW i3. The automaker confirmed that equipment installed in the new body shop and assembly line has successfully undergone dry-run testing, marking an important step in the plant’s transformation.

The functional checks involved running every stage of the production process without vehicle parts. Production planners and plant technicians tested machinery cycle by cycle to ensure systems operate seamlessly before series production begins.

BMW will shift assembly of the i3 from its Research and Innovation Centre to Plant Munich in January, with series production scheduled to start in summer 2026. The move brings future electric vehicle manufacturing into the heart of BMW’s historic Munich facility.

The new body shop and assembly line were digitally planned and constructed using BMW Group’s Virtual Factory approach. Existing press shop and paint shop facilities were also integrated into the digital model, allowing engineers to validate production processes virtually before physical installation and testing.

Over the past 18 months, BMW has remodelled around one-third of the Munich plant site as part of this upgrade. Older halls were dismantled and replaced with a new assembly hall, logistics centre, and body shop. Notably, the redevelopment was carried out while the plant continued to build up to 1,000 BMW 3 Series and 4 Series vehicles per day.

Once fully operational, the upgraded Plant Munich will play a central role in BMW’s next phase of electric mobility, with the new i3 set to become one of its flagship locally produced EVs.

BYD has crossed a major global milestone with the production of its 15 millionth new energy vehicle (NEV), underlining the rapid scale-up of the Chinese automaker’s electrification drive. Remarkably, the company moved from 10 million to 15 million NEVs in just 13 months, with the 14 millionth vehicle rolling off the line in October 2025.

The milestone was marked at BYD’s Jinan manufacturing facility in China, which has been in mass production for only three years. The 15 millionth vehicle was a DENZA N8L, a six-seat SUV from BYD’s premium sub-brand. Built on the Super Hybrid and e3 platform, the N8L shares its architecture with the Z9GT and forms part of DENZA’s preparations for its European debut in 2026.

BYD defines new energy vehicles as battery electric models and electrified vehicles using its Super Hybrid system with DM technology. The company’s NEV journey began in 2008 with the launch of the F3DM plug-in hybrid, taking 13 years to reach its first million units before accelerating rapidly over the past decade.

Production momentum remains strong. In the first 11 months of 2025, BYD produced 4.182 million vehicles, up 11.3 per cent year on year. Overseas sales reached 917,000 units during the same period, already surpassing the full-year total for 2024. Today, BYD operates in more than 110 countries and regions, with a presence in 33 European markets through around 1,000 sales outlets. The company plans to double its European dealership network by the end of 2026.

Heavy investment continues to fuel this growth. BYD spent RMB43.75 billion on research and development in the first three quarters of 2025 alone, driving advances in battery technology, intelligent driver assistance, and megawatt-level Flash Charging, slated for Europe in 2026.

Ather Energy has announced a price increase across its electric scooter lineup, effective 1 January 2026. The revision will see prices go up by up to ₹3,000, with the company citing rising global costs of raw materials, foreign exchange pressures, and higher prices of key electronic components as the reasons behind the hike.

For prospective buyers, December offers a window to secure current prices before the increase comes into effect. Ather is currently running its ‘Electric December’ campaign, offering benefits of up to ₹20,000 in select cities. These benefits include instant credit card EMI discounts, cash incentives, and a complimentary eight-year extended battery warranty under Ather’s Eight70 programme on select models, along with financing support from multiple partners.

Now in its third year, Electric December continues to underline Ather’s focus on delivering long-term value to EV customers during the year-end buying season, backed by its integrated hardware-software approach and expanding after-sales network.

Ather’s product portfolio includes the performance-focused 450 series and the Rizta, the brand’s first family-oriented electric scooter. The Ather 450 range offers features such as multi-mode traction control, MagicTwist regenerative braking, and connected technology including Google Maps navigation, WhatsApp integration on the dashboard, and call and music controls.

The Rizta has emerged as a strong growth driver for the brand, recently crossing the 2 lakh sales milestone. Designed with everyday usability in mind, it offers up to 56 litres of storage, a wide seat, and generous floorboard space. Safety features include SkidControl, Fall Safe, Emergency Stop Signal, and theft and tow alerts. Ather also recently announced a touchscreen upgrade for the Rizta Z. Ather scooters are available via Experience Centres as well as online through Amazon and Flipkart.
