“We need to start building that facility this year. It’s literally that simple. That’s a new way of doing business. We’re not holding on to these things as chips for negotiation.”–Kumar Galhotra, Ford Blue president, on why the automaker chose now to announce major manufacturing investments in the Midwest, more than a year ahead of union contract negotiations

“The world’s mentality is heading towards a different type of transportation future. But yet, we still live in an internal combustion engine world, no question about that. For Z and for Nissan, this is really at the core of who we are.”–Mike Colleran, corporate vice president, Nissan Motor Co.

“Some people think about radio as being the ‘soul’ of the car. And so, as cars are being reinvented, we want to be part of that reinvention process.”–Richard Stern, CEO of TuneIn, on why the global streaming company is targeting electric vehicle makers for partnerships

“We have a very large network where we’re able to recondition vehicles without having to build the network from nothing. And I think that’s really where we fundamentally differentiate ourselves.
