Molden and Schmidt: the sustainable motoring podcast

Busting the myths around sustainable motoring - that's the theme of an insightful new podcast from Emissions Analytics. Cutting through the polemics, such as the destructive pro- and anti-electric-vehicle debate, the podcast aims to get at the truth.

Its founder Nick Molden, and former Volkswagen executive Oliver Schmidt, have joined forces to confront the thorniest issues facing the industry.

Can Europe meet the 2035 deadline for banning ICEs? Should governments promote hybrids ahead of BEVs? And how on earth do we tackle the pollution caused by tyres?

From the dilemmas facing consumers, to the US-China EV tariff wars, Nick and Oliver pick their way through the disinformation to get to the bottom of the big questions for motoring's future.

The podcast brings together two of the sector's most experienced independent analysts - who used to be on opposite sides of the fence.

As chief executive of Emissions Analytics, which specialises in real-world vehicle testing, Nick runs large test programmes internationally. He was instrumental in exposing the misleading fuel-economy figures, and excessive pollutant emissions, which led to Dieselgate - and crossed swords with Oliver in his role at Volkswagen.

But now Nick and Oliver have found common cause - using their knowledge to help make sense of the often confusing and contentious world of sustainable motoring.

Their podcast - Molden and Schmidt - is available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple and the Emissions Analytics website.
