Finally, the first EQS 450+ with a faulty CATL battery, at 300,000 km. CATL is otherwise the only cell manufacturer with a system so reliable that it doesn't even need service centres in Europe, because the failure rate is minimal compared to LG cells, which have proven to be extremely critical in practice. EOLHC is the most likely end of life for this battery, not a cell failure itself. A new battery is no longer offered by Mercedes at all, and a "Refurbished" one is around €55,000, which is unrealistically expensive. Our visit to CATL headquarters gave us an insight into the likely purchase price of the cells, which is probably in the range of €12,000, while the housing and the rest of the pack make up the remainder of the cost. Used batteries go for €7,000 to €14,000. Part number: A7893400027 Defect: damaged cells, self discharge delta Now lets build diagnostic bench protocol, repair manual and training material.

Croxton All things being equal, reviving this route would be good route for tourism. Perhaps future trams, taking a small number of passengers at a time e.g 40 or 50. @PTChimusoro @ZtaUpdates @rcmatopos @MatoboRDC @MatoboLodge

For a while now, I have been saying things are happening in Zimbabwe. Today South African community coffee chain Platō Coffee announced the opening of two outlets in the Harare Metropolitan Area. 1. Pomona | Where the city new light industry are located and moving to. 2. Ruwa | Zimbabwe’s largest and quickest growing satellite town. Today Ruwa is home to a growing middle class community. What does this mean ? The disposable incomes are growing around Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 . Ruwa is particularly an investors dream. Modern highway with two flyovers under construction. An airport direct line in the works and a railway line and a new shopping mall in the works powered by @terraceafrica @abbandiki Welcome to Ruwa Platō Coffee.

The second stop of the media tour was the Fats and Feed Pvt Ltd oilseed processing and crushing plant, which forms part of a certified agribusiness and stockfeed entity. The plant specialises mainly in soya bean crushing and processing into oil. It employs over 270 people, with only 25 from Harare while the rest are locals. The company prioritises employment of women and youth, with young people constituting the bulk of the workforce. Fats and Feed has also partnered with the National Railways of Zimbabwe for the transportation of coal to the plant's boiler. In addition, construction of a 2.8MW solar power plant is on course, where excess energy will be fed onto the national grid. #BulawayoTour

Tanzania and Angola have agreed to link the Indian and Atlantic Oceans by rail, connecting the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (TAZARA) to Angola’s Benguela Railway through Zambia and the DRC. — The project will connect Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam port with Angola’s Lobito port, creating a trans-African transport corridor. — China signed a USD 1.4B agreement in 2025 to modernise TAZARA, while the US and EU are backing the Lobito Corridor. — Angola has also invited Tanzania to invest in its Lobito oil refinery project, with Tanzania’s state energy firm assessing the proposal.

I haven't seen a single land baron being held accountable. Not one. People lose their hard-earned money, families lose their homes and land scandals keep making headlines yet the big fish seem untouchable.

EXEMPLARY USE OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT FUNDS After receiving support from the Industrial Development Fund (IDF), Pump and Steel Supplies has significantly scaled up production, beneficiation and value addition. Pump and Steel is transforming local raw materials into high quality finished products, creating jobs and reducing the import bill. This is exactly what the fund is meant to accomplish. This is yet another success story from the Industrial Development Fund.
