Globally renowned leader in golf carts celebrates milestone with unprecedented deals and giveaways

"Seventy years after the first E‑Z‑GO vehicle was built in that sweltering one-room shop, we continue to build vehicles and provide services that exceed the expectations of our loyal customers," said Rob Scholl, President and CEO for Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc., which designs and manufactures E-Z-GO vehicles. "We are proud to create National Golf Cart Day to not only celebrate and recognize how far we've come as a leader in the golf cart industry, but to see how far we will go in our next 70 years."

To celebrate this milestone E-Z-GO will recognize National Golf Cart Day with a celebration at its Augusta, Ga. headquarters and offer unprecedented, nationwide sales and giveaways including: $500 off all vehicles on top of current promotions (up to $3,400 off), 0% APR for 36 months and 2.99% for 48 months and 35% off select parts and accessories.

Anyone who purchases a golf cart between June 13, 2024 and June 15, 2024 will be entered into a chance to win four tickets to Universal Orlando and a two-night stay at a local Orlando hotel. Golf cart fans are also encouraged to enter the National Day Calendar giveaway on Facebook and X for prizes that all brand fans will love.

Market conditions drive international airlines away from Brazil, Airbus says
Complicated market conditions have prevented foreign airlines from launching local operations in Brazil, planemaker Airbus' head in the country told Reuters. In 2018, rules which had limited the size of the stake a foreign investor could hold in an airline were overturned in a bid to open up competition among carriers in Latin America's largest economy. Still, market share in Brazil is dominated by just three companies: Azul, Gol and LATAM, the latter the result of a merger in the 2010s between local airline TAM with Chile's LAN.

The US wants to decouple its military supplies from China - but can it?
China's central role in the global supply chain has prompted the United States to initiate a series of measures to de-risk its relationship with the world's second largest economy as relations worsen. For the US defence industry, it seems inevitable that Washington will want to go further and seek to cut out China completely. China now plays a central role in the global economy as a leading producer of everything from the raw materials used to make basic equipment and rare earth metals to the hi-tech equipment that is vital to the production of some of America's most advanced weapons.

Chinese automakers seek retaliatory tariffs on EU cars, state media reports
SHANGHAI/BEIJING/BERLIN (Reuters) -Chinese automakers have urged Beijing to hike tariffs on imported European gasoline-powered cars in retaliation for Brussels' curbs on exports of Chinese-made EVs, the state-backed Global Times newspaper said on Wednesday. In a closed-door meeting on Tuesday also attended by European car companies, China's auto industry "called on the government to adopt firm countermeasures (and) suggested that positive consideration be given to raising the provisional tariff on gasoline cars with large-displacement engines," according to the report. The meeting, organised by China's Ministry of Commerce, was held in Beijing and attended by SAIC, BYD , BMW, Volkswagen and its Porsche division, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said.

Detroit Three automakers should exit China, leading analyst says
Legacy U.S. automakers such as Ford Motor and General Motors should leave the China market to preserve capital amid the costly electric vehicle (EV) transition, a leading auto analyst said on Tuesday. “I think you have to see the [Detroit Three] exit China as soon as they possibly can,” said John Murphy, Bank of America Securities analyst, at his annual presentation of “Car Wars,” a closely watched industry report. Murphy's guidance for the Big Three came during a discussion of the harsh cost-cutting measures they would have to take to be competitive with EV manufacturers like Tesla, as well as carmakers abroad.

China targets Europe's farmers, and not its automakers, in response to EU tariffs on electric cars
The Chinese government is taking aim at European farmers instead of German automakers by launching an investigation into European Union pork imports, just days after the EU said it plans to impose provisional tariffs on China-made electric vehicles. The Commerce Ministry didn't mention the EV tariffs when it announced Monday that it is opening an anti-dumping investigation into pork from Europe, but the move is widely seen as a response to the EU move on electric cars.

EU subsidy probe cools China EV sector's will to invest in Europe, survey finds
The European Union's anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric vehicles has cooled Chinese firms' EV sales and harmed their confidence in investing in Europe, a survey of Chinese EV companies showed on Wednesday. Some 82% of vehicle and industry chain firms said the subsidy investigation had eroded their confidence in investing in Europe in the near future, the survey by the China Chamber of Commerce to the EU and the China Economic Information Service showed. The poll, conducted in April and May, was part of a report on Chinese EV manufacturers and Europe.

Paramount is 'quite impaired' at this point: Kevin Mayer
The 2024 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is bringing together the world's best and brightest executives from the realm of creative marketing and advertising. Candle Media Co-Founder and Co-CEO Kevin Mayer sits down with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi by the Cannes waterfront to talk about where linear TV and sports streaming fits into the broadening streaming landscape, as more platforms like Amazon Prime (AMZN) adopt ad-supported subscription tiers. "One of the reasons paid TV is in such [a] secular and substantial decline is the cost of those sports rights. And everyone had to bear the cost of those sports rights. So you had every consumer, almost every household had paid TV 10 years ago, and everyone was paying not only for the entertainment that they loved, but also for sports," Mayer explains. "And not everyone watched the sports. And I think that helped drive the decline down. People were paying for something in a very expensive thing that they didn't really want to watch. "So I think Netflix (NFLX) will put their toe in the water, but they've become a very successful entertainment company without sports. They have sports-related programming, but not the actual sports rights." Mayer finds that these major streaming companies need to incorporate these new sports partnerships in order to "feed their ecosystem in some way." Mayer's resume also includes his tenure as the CEO of TikTok, COO of the popular app's parent company ByteDance, and the chairman of Disney's Direct-to-Consumer & International segment. Mayer comments on the potential ban of TikTok within the United States and the acquisition sage surrounding Paramount Global (PARA, PARAA). Catch up on Yahoo Finance's full coverage of this year's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. This post was written by Luke Carberry Mogan.
