There are now two possible bidders for the French glassworks, Holophane.
The Evreux commercial court has chosen two potential buyers: a consortium led by Nicolas Riou, a shareholder of the Riou Glass group, and the American fund PHP (Peaked Hills Partners), which previously purchased the Arc International factory in Arques, France. In November, the two chosen businesses will each make a case for why they ought to buy the Les Andelys, France facility.
Following a spike in energy costs last year, French automotive glass manufacturer Holophane requested to go into receivership. The glassworks located in Andelys, Normandy, France are focused on manufacturing fog lights and optics for automobiles.

The first update for the Volkswagen Virtus has been released nearly a year after it was first released. Commencing with the Highline model, the new Virtus will be equipped with automated headlamps and automated coming-and-going home lights. The entire Virtus lineup is available with rear fog lamps in addition to this feature.
The Volkswagen Virtus is now safer thanks to the addition of auto headlamps and rear fog lamps. The goal of these two features is to improve visibility in low-light and nighttime situations. Even the 1.5-liter petrol Taigun GT has automated headlamps and automated entering and exiting the house.
Compared to the Vento it replaced, the Virtus is more substantial and upscale. With modern features like a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 7-inch virtual cockpit instrument console, it has a new, sleeker design. Modern features that were absent from the Vento, its predecessor, include a wireless charger, ventilated front seats, and a push start/stop button.
