Ep 4: Mark Tapscott

Our guest this week is Mark Tapscott, Co-Founder of British automotive start-up Longbow Motors. A pioneer in electrification, Tesla alumnus and a self-confessed 'car guy', Mark joins us on The MOVEmnt Podcast to discuss Longbow's commitment to electrification and feather-weight EV design. Mark and the Longbow team are on a mission to restore some of the theatre and emotion of the classic British sports car to the electric segment, focusing on light-weighting and the driver experience in a market that too often overlooks the joy of driving. Described by some as the “anti-Tesla,” Longbow is pushing back against the growing homogenisation of the EV segment with its first two models, the Speedster and the Roadster, both expected to arrive as early as next year.Listen to the full episode to hear Mark's reflections on his time at Tesla, the lessons he learned there, and some exclusive insights on Longbow's ambitious plans for future expansion.

In Episode 3 of The MOVEmnt Podcast, we sit down with Lyft’s EVP of Global Growth, Jeremy Bird, to explore his vision for a hybrid autonomous network. As autonomy ramps up in the UK and Europe welcomes its first commercial robotaxi deployment in Croatia, our conversation couldn’t come at a more critical time in the industry.   In our fascinating discussion we dive deep on some of the vital, and often divisive questions, surrounding autonomous mobility, unpacking uncertainties surrounding job security and the realities of automation. Jeremy outlines his vision of a customer-obsessed approach that connects riders easily and seamlessly with opportunity, while continuing to centre and evolve the driver experience.  Jeremy looks back on his long and storied career, including his time as Chief Field Director for Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign, and how his background in community organising and advocacy continues to shape his leadership at Lyft today.  For the latest articles and insights on all things auto tech, visit ⁠MOVEmnt.net. ⁠ [https://movemnt.net/] Or drop us a follow on LinkedIn at @MOVE: Mobility Re-Imagined.
