Pierre Parent shared thisI found this to be inspiring and counter to much of what I hear and thought was true. A Harvard Business Review study found that an entrepreneurs age is positively correlated with the probability of success, i.e., an older entrepreneur is more likely to succeed. Good news for late bloomers! Here's the HBR link. https://lnkd.in/gypXJw8 #success #entrepreneursPierre Parent shared thisIt's never too late to reinvent yourself. Take it from Paul Tasner -- after working continuously for other people for 40 years, he founded his own start-up at age 66, pairing his idea for a business with his experience and passion. And he's not alone. http://bit.ly/2xTs93i

Pierre Parent shared thisSometimes it does make sense to go back to the old ways. I'd like to add one more time that using a pencil and paper helps me accomplish more -- when I'm brainstorming an idea for myself. Writing and drawing leaves me with fewer constraints than trying to make it work on a phone or computer. https://lnkd.in/gts39yU #productivity #notetaking5 times when using paper and a pen is better than using an app5 times when using paper and a pen is better than using an app

In today's trade climate, "winning" isn’t just about who has the best car; it’s about who has the best map. I just read a compelling piece in Automotive News about Toyota’s push for even more U.S. plant capacity. This plan reinforces the shift that we see in our industry: we are moving from a "global supply chain" to a "local-for-local" survival strategy. So, what makes a "winner" in 2026? It boils down to three things: Manufacturing as Diplomacy: When you build where you sell, you aren't just avoiding tariffs; you’re buying political and economic "insurance." The "Hedge" Strategy: Toyota’s $10B U.S. investment isn't just a bet on EVs—it’s a massive play for hybrids and batteries. In an uncertain trade environment, flexibility is more valuable than purity. Supply Chain Sovereignty: Winning OEMs are the ones reshoring their most critical components (like batteries in North Carolina) to ensure they aren't held hostage by the next geopolitical pivot. Is "Build Where You Sell" the only way to survive the current tariff era, or can smaller, leaner importers still find a gap? https://lnkd.in/egg-vTnu #Automotive #Toyota #Manufacturing #Trade #SupplyChain #EVs #Leadership

🚗 A Fleet Snapshot and Auto Industry Update 🔸 Manufacturers: OEMs are staying disciplined - focusing on profitability and flexible powertrain stgrategies. Hybrids and extended-range options continue to lead as EV plans are refined. Fleet-relevant vehicles still require early planning. 🔸 Maintenance: Costs are trending up due to labor rates, parts pricing, and increased vehicle complexity. Preventive maintenance and smart replacement timing matter more than ever. 🔸 Fuel: Oil markets remain volatile amid geopolitical uncertainty. No crisis signals, but short-term price swings keep fuel efficiency and total cost modeling front and center. Fleet takeaway: 2026 is rewarding fleets that manage the full cost picture - acquisition, maintenance, fuel, and uptime - not just vehicle price. #EMKAY #FleetManagement #FleetStrategy #AutomotiveIndustry #AutomotiveNews

The NEW NORMAL for 100% Electric Mobility Adoption in 2026 is EV Regenerative Acceleration Propulsion & Zero-Cost IP Licensing for all EV OEMs Globally ElectricDrives EV.com Ford Motor Company Jim Farley LinkedIn Introduction: https://lnkd.in/e6sm9gPD Thane Heins Energy Inc. EV Regenerative Acceleration EV OEM Introduction and Zero-Cost Technology Transfer & Global Licensing in 2026. Thane Heins Energy Inc. is an Ottawa, Canada based clean-tech R&D company and the pioneers of the US patented EV Regenerative Acceleration innovation currently being licensed to all EV and ICE OEMs globally for $0.00 in Joint-Venture Agreements. In 2007 it was discovered that: 1) Faraday Generator Armature Reaction / EV regenerative braking could be completely reversed / eliminated from the electricity generation and electric mobility equations, 2) by introducing a Load Current Time Delay into the operation of a generator coil, above the coil's Critical Minimum Frequency of Operation, 3) whereby the Generator Coil / Inductor ceases to store created Electromagnetic Field Energy in the EXTERIOR of the coil, 4) performing Negative Work / Counter-Electromagnetic-Torque / EV DECELERATION on the generator's Rotating Magnetic Field and, 5) instead operated as a Multi-Parallel Plate Capacitor (https://lnkd.in/ecQrcWrJ) 6) producing a 50-90 Degree Load Current Time Delay which can be observed on an Oscilloscope. (https://lnkd.in/e-k69v_y) 7) performing Positive Work / Complementary-Electromagnetic-Torque / EV REGENERATIVE ACCELERATION on the generator's Rotating Magnetic Field, 8) (https://lnkd.in/euKtfQ-M) The ReGenX Generator innovation was... researched, validated, peer reviewed and replicated in the Power Lab at the University of Ottawa following a performance confirmation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008. https://lnkd.in/e6sm9gPD The research was supported by California Diesel & Power, Toroid Technologies, Siemens, Rex Power Magnetics and HERO ELECTRIC VEHICLES PVT LTD (all listed as Co-Inventors on the new 2026 patents), Electric Mobility Canada, National Research Council Canada / Conseil national de recherches Canada, Magna International and Electron Energy Corporation. The ReGenX Generator innovation has been replicated and validated more than 22 times independently in Canada, Italy, France and Holland since 2008 (https://lnkd.in/eF8ptWSx) and is currently being replicated by Chinese physicists at Beijing University. The US patents were issued in 2018. https://lnkd.in/e6JZGu2M Thane C.

Q3 is done... well, almost! It's hard to believe another month of 2026 has gone within a flash. As we head into Q4, there are plenty of factors that will make the final quarter of the year particularly interesting. Higher return volumes, fuel price volatility, BEV demand and ongoing new car registration activity are all set to influence market dynamics in the months ahead. For a deeper look at the latest trends and what they could mean for the market, take a read of this month's editorial, expertly summarised by Chris Plumb. #Automotive #UsedCars #Remarketing #BEV #AutomotiveIndustry #MarketInsights

Sponsored by NTEA – The Work Truck Association Every innovation you'll see next year starts here. Not in vendor emails. Not on spec sheets. Not in another PowerPoint deck promising "game-changing solutions." It starts in one room where the entire commercial vehicle ecosystem collides. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀? The OEM engineer who designed it is standing at booth 2147. Ten-minute conversation saves you six months of retrofits. The upfitter explaining why your "standard" configuration won't survive Michigan winters? Just prevented $87K in warranty claims. That hallway conversation between a fleet manager and component supplier? They're solving the hydraulic issue that's been killing your uptime. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: You can't Google what's changing in chassis architecture. You can't email your way to understanding new EPA requirements. You can't Zoom into the room where product roadmaps get revealed. Work Truck Week isn't where you go to see what's new. It's where you go to see what's next. Before it breaks your specs. Before it disrupts your builds. Before your competitor figures it out first. I watched a municipality do a year's worth of business in one week there. Not hype — actual contracts signed because the right people were finally in the same room. Some rooms move industries forward. Others watch from the parking lot. Your choice. #WorkTruckWeek #WTW26 #CommercialVehicles #FleetStrategy #Upfitting #TheUpfitInsider

Automakers’ OEM parts pricing is pushing customers away. Prices have risen for four straight years, and dealers are losing post-warranty customers at a rate that signals a structural retention problem. OEM parts are now often unaffordable once warranties expire. For example, a Honda alternator costs US$450 OEM versus US$250 aftermarket. Labour rates offer little relief when parts carry markups of 50–80%. Customers respond by going to independent repairers, who offer cheaper parts and often better warranty terms. Automakers enjoy high parts margins, but dealers bear the cost. Service retention has dropped to 54% for two-year-old vehicles, creating an affordability ceiling that makes keeping customers “mathematically impossible” on some vehicles. For business leaders, pricing strategy must prioritise long-term customer value over short-term margin. For pricing teams, now is the time to review parts pricing, warranty terms, and customer value to rebuild trust and retention.
