After establishing a confident market share in Europe and commanding over 20% of the market in China, Volkswagen is hoping to finally make a splash in the one market it can’t quite seem to get a hold on – the US. Its strategy? Placing even more confidence in its EV future.

That confidence is coming from an incredibly successful first half for 2021. Volkswagen reported close to $13 billion in operating profits, beating pre-pandemic numbers. And, with the money, Volkswagen aims to expand its EV batteries and software, as well speed up its transition away from internal combustion engines.

This also plays into Volkswagen’s strategy for its market share showdown with Tesla, its main EV competitor and currently the world’s largest EV maker. Volkswagen believes with its renewed vision for an electric future, it can overtake Tesla by 2025.

CEO Herbert Diess echoed the company’s confidence, adding that most automakers are working out of the same playbook.

“Everyone is starting with a white sheet of paper. … We start from scratch. We have new competitors, Tesla probably being the most serious and the most successful, and it will depend a lot on the electrification strategy of the other market participants,” Diess said. “We feel strongly we are early, we have a strong platform, and we have a wide range of cars.”

The automaker plans to stop selling gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035 in Europe, and shortly after in China and the U.S.

CMHA’s 2026 report estimates paver and wall production

CMHA’s 2026 report estimates paver and wall production

CMHA's 2026 Hardscape Production Report combines confidential survey data from 41 manufacturers with broader industry estimates to track segmental concrete pavement and retaining wall production in the US and Canada.

  • 01CMHA surveyed 26 pavement and 38 segmental retaining wall (SRW) producers, with many making both products, combining confidential data with broader industry estimates.
  • 02NALP forecasts mild to moderate 2026 growth with regional variation, as inflation pressures consumers and landscapers struggle to hire qualified crews and maintain margins.
  • 03Manufacturers expect future product innovation around sustainability, stormwater management, design flexibility, and installation efficiency.

EPA’s $251M loan backs Pure Water, boosting supply for ~105K

EPA’s $251M loan backs Pure Water, boosting supply for ~105K

EPA approved a $251 million WIFIA loan for the Pure Water Project, an advanced purification plant in Los Angeles and Ventura counties expected to add capacity and reliability for about 105,000 customers and provide the region’s first local water supply. Under WIFIA terms, deferring principal until construction is substantially complete is expected to save about $13.6 million.

  • 01The $251 million Pure Water loan includes deferred principal payments following substantial completion of construction, a structure EPA expects to save about $13.6 million over the life of the loan.
  • 02For a utility planning potable reuse, the repayment calendar is a benchmark worth asking for alongside the interest rate and the loan size.

RIEGL’s miniVUX-4UAV hits 150 scans/sec in 120° FOV

RIEGL’s miniVUX-4UAV hits 150 scans/sec in 120° FOV

In a 120-degree field of view, RIEGL's new miniVUX-4UAV drone lidar captures up to 133,333 measurements a second at up to 150 scans a second. RIEGL lists 12 mm accuracy and 8 mm precision.

  • 01The miniVUX-4UAV’s upgrade targets its 120-degree field of view, with up to 133,333 measurements a second and up to 150 scans a second. RIEGL’s product page lists the miniVUX-3UAV at up to 100,000 measurements a second at 120 degrees and up to 100 scans a second.
  • 02The scanner's 12 mm accuracy and 8 mm precision are sensor figures. Finished-survey accuracy still depends on the GNSS/IMU, calibration, flight geometry and processing, so the RiLOC-E-25 versus RiLOC-F choice matters more with a sharper scanner.
  • 03On the full datasheet, check the miniVUX-4UAV’s maximum range. The miniVUX-3UAV lists maximum ranges of 170 to 330 m across 100 kHz, 200 kHz and 300 kHz settings (depending on target reflectivity).
