1. China Vies(竞争) to Be World’s Leader in Electric Cars from https://www.360docs.net/doc/4d524053.html, Published:

April 1, 2009

TIANJIN, China— Chinese leaders have adopted a plan aimed at turning the country into one of the leading producers of hybri(混合)and all-electric vehicles within three years, and making it the world leader in electric cars and buses after that. The goal, which radiates from the very top of the Chinese government, suggests that Detroit‘s Big Three, already struggling to stay alive, will face even stiffer(强烈,严厉)foreign competition on the next field of automotive technology than they do today.

―China is well positioned to lead in this,‖ said David Tulauskas, director of China government policy at General Motors.

To some extent, China is making a virtue(品德)of a liability. It is behind the United States, Japan and other countries when it comes to making gas-powered vehicles, but by skipping the current technology, China hopes to get a jump on the next.

Japan is the market leader in hybrids today, which run on both electricity and gasoline, with cars like the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight. The United States has been a laggard(落后者)in alternative vehicles.

G.M.‘s plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt is scheduled to go on sale next year, and will be assembled in Michigan using rechargeable batteries imported from LG in South Korea.

China‘s intention, in addition to creating a world-leading industry that will produce jobs and exports, is to reduce urban pollution and decrease its dependence on oil, which comes from the Mideast and travels over sea routes controlled by the United States Navy.

But electric vehicles may do little to clear the country‘s smog-darkened sky or curb(限制)its rapidly rising emissions(排放)of global warming gases. China gets three-fourths of its electricity from coal, which produces more soot(烟灰)and more greenhouse gases than other fuels.

A report by McKinsey & Company last autumn estimated that replacing a gasoline-powered car with a similar-size electric car in China would reduce greenhouse emissions by only 19 percent. It would reduce urban pollution, however, by shifting the source of smog from car exhaust pipes to power plants, which are often located outside cities.

Beyond manufacturing, subsidies(津贴)of up to $8,800 are being offered to taxi fleets(队)and local government agencies in 13 Chinese cities for each hybrid or all-electric vehicle they purchase. The state electricity grid(系统网络)has been ordered to set up electric car charging stations in Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin.

Government research subsidies for electric car designs are increasing rapidly. And an interagency panel is planning tax credits(税收抵免)for consumers who buy alternative energy vehicles.

China wants to raise its annual production capacity to 500,000 hybrid or all-electric cars and buses by the end of 2011, from 2,100 last year, government officials and Chinese auto executives said. By comparison, CSM Worldwide, a consulting firm that does forecasts for automakers, predicts that Japan and South Korea together

will be producing 1.1 million hybrid or all-electric light vehicles by then and North America will be making 267,000.

The United States Department of Energy has its own $25 billion program to develop electric-powered cars and improve battery technology, and will receive another $2 billion for battery development as part of the economic stimulus program enacted by Congress.

Premier Wen Jiabao highlighted the importance of electric cars two years ago with his unlikely choice to become minister of science and technology: Wan Gang, a Shanghai-born former Audi auto engineer in Germany who later became the chief scientist for the Chinese government‘s res earch panel on electric vehicles.

Mr. Wan is the first minister in at least three decades who is not a member of the Communist Party.

And Premier Wen has his own connection to the electric car industry. He was born and grew up here in Tianjin, the longtim e capital of China‘s battery industry, 70 miles southeast of Beijing.

Tianjin has thrived(兴盛)in the six years since Mr. Wen became premier. It now has China‘s first bullet train service (to Beijing), a new Airbus factory and an immaculate(整洁的)new airport. Tianjin has also received a surge of research subsidies for enterprises like the Tianjin-Qingyuan Electric Vehicle Company.

Electric cars have several practical advantages in China. Intercity driving is rare. Commutes are fairly short and frequently at low speeds because of traffic jams. So the limitations of all-electric cars — the latest models in China have a top speed of 60 miles an hour and a range of 120 miles between charges —are less of a problem.

First-time car buyers also make up four-fifths of the Chinese market, and these buyers have not yet grown accustomed to the greater power and range of gasoline-powered cars.

But the electric car industry faces several obstacles here too. Most urban Chinese live in apartments, and cannot install recharging devices in driveways, so more public charging centers need to be set up. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries also have a poor reputation in China. Counterfeit(仿制品)lithium-ion(锂离子)batteries in cellphones occasionally explode, causing injuries. And Sony had to recall genuine (真的)lithium-ion batteries in laptops in 2006 and 2008 after some overheated and caught fire or exploded. These safety problems have been associated with lithium-ion cobalt(钴)batteries, however, not the more chemically stable lithium-ion phosphate(磷酸盐)batteries now being adapted to automotive use.

The tougher challenge is that all lithium-ion batteries are expensive, whether made with cobalt or phosphate. That will be a hurdle for thrifty Chinese consumers, especially if gas prices stay relatively low compared to their highs last summer.

China is tackling the challenges with the same tools that helped it speed industrialization and put on the Olympics: immense(极大的)amounts of energy, money and people.

BYD has 5,000 auto engineers and an equal number of battery engineers, most of them living at its headquarters in Shenzhen in a cluster of 15 yellow apartment buildings, each 18 stories high. Young engineers earn less than $600 a month, including benefits.

When Tianjin-Qingyuan puts its entirely battery-powered Saibao midsize sedan on sale this autumn, the body will come from a sedan that normally sells for $14,600 when equipped with a gasoline engine. But the engine and gas tank will be replaced with a $14,000 battery pack and electric m otor, said Wu Zhixin, the company‘s general manager.

That means the retail price will nearly double, to almost $30,000. Even if the government awards the maximum subsidy of $8,800 to buyers, that is a hefty(数额巨大)premium(加价).

Large-scale production could drive down the cost of the battery pack and electric motor by 30 or 40 percent, still leaving electric cars more expensive than gasoline-powered ones, Mr. Wu said. But Mr. Wu has plenty of money to pursue improvements. He interrupted an interview at his co mpany‘s headquarters on Thursday to take a call on his cellphone, politely declined an offer from the caller, and hung up.

The general manager of a state-controlled bank had called to ask if he needed a loan, he explained.

2.China Automotive Electronics Industry Draws Worldwide Attention

Exploring opportunities for manufacturing vehicle systems in China from https://www.360docs.net/doc/4d524053.html,

by The RightSite Team on Tue, 2009-10-13 12:42

With the rise of the nation's middle-class and the increasing popularity of personal vehicles, more cars are now purchased everyday in China than in any other country in the world. This burgeoning(迅速成长)auto consumption, together with the industry's move toward more advanced and cost-effective auto electronics systems, has already become a driving force behind the growth of China's automotive electronics industry. This week, RightSite takes a close look at China's automotive electronics industry parks and how to capitalize on the opportunities brought by this sector.

Fast Growth of Automotive Electronics Industry

◆China's auto electronics industry expected to reach RMB 148 billion by 2009

◆Five consecutiv(连续的)e years of market growth

◆Local electronics market projected to exceed RMB 300 billion by 2012

Even for industry leaders such as GM, Ford, V olvo and Toyota, the financial crisis has made 2009 a tough year for car sales. In the midst of this gloom(沮丧,昏暗), however, the steady growth of China's auto market in China brings some hope to the rest of the industry. Although the total vehicle sales in China fell by 14.4% in January, the numbers for personal vehicles hit a new record of 860,000 cars nationwide. This marks the first time in history that China sold more cars in a single month than the US and if this trend continues then China may officially become the world's largest car market in 2009.

Besides the overall growth of China's car industry, another important trend for investors is the growth of the automotive electronics market. According to a report on the 2009-2012 outlook of China auto electronics industry published by China Investment Consulting (CIC), the value of China's auto electronics sector(部门)reached more than RMB 137 billion (US$20 billion) in 2008 which represented a year-on-year increase of nearly 13%.

On top of the upward trend for China's automotive market in general, sophisticated electronic systems such as fuel injection(注入), anti-lock braking, tire pressure monitoring systems and in-car entertainment systems have been playing a growing role in automotive marketing and manufacturing. Because of this increasing demand for electronic controls and monitoring systems in the industry, CIC predicts that the size of China's auto electronics sector will grow to RMB 200 billion (US$29.2 billion) by 2010.

Automotive Electronics Manufacturing Bases Take Shape.

With the continuous government support and huge market demand, China has also seen large- scaled automobile industrial base take shape. Large clusters of the auto industry are mainly located in Yangtze River Delta region, Pearl River Delta Region, Bohai Ring Region and North-eastern China area. The rapid development of the automotive industry in return has accelerated the growth of the automotive electronics market. At the moment, over 50% of the auto electronics makers are located in clusters which will enhance cooperation between companies at the same time lower transportation costs for moving material and products.

A Survey of China's Auto Electronics Industrial Parks

Wuhu Auto Electronics Industrial Park

Located in Wuhu Economic and Technological Development Zone in Anhui province, Wuhu Auto Electronics Industrial Park was established in 2006 as the first national-level auto electronics park in China. The park focuses on engine electronic controls, auto body electronics controls, safety and fault diagnosis(诊断)systems and onboard information systems. At the moment, the park has attracted more than 30 companies including Chery Auto, Siemens VDO, Motiontec Automotive, and ATECH Automotive.

Changchun Auto Electronics Industrial Park

Changchun Auto Electronics Industry Park was established in 2007 as the second national-level auto electronics industry park in China. The park is located in Changchun Automotive Industry Development Zone and has a planned area of 5 sqkm. The city government of Changchun has also allocated another 15 sqkm to the park for future expansion. The total sales revenue(税收)of companies in the auto electronics park is expected to reach RMB 8 billion (US$1.71 billion) in 2010. Changchun, the capital city of Jilin province, is an important industrial city as well as a leading automobile production base in China.

Wuhan Auto Electronics Industrial Base

Wuhan Auto Electronics Industrial Base was established in 2004 by the Hubei provincial government. The industrial base, located in the Wuhan Donghu Hi-Tech Industrial Zone, consists of a main industrial park, an institutional centre and several project centers. At present, the industrial base has attracted over 36 new & hi-technology enterprises to move in. Most companies in the park focus on the development of vehicle chassis electronic controls, electronic brake systems, electronic stability programs (ESP), cruise control and telematics technology.

Shanghai Auto Electronics Industry Base

Shanghai Auto Electronics Industry Base is located in the Shanghai International Auto City and has a planned area of 0.8 sqkm. Two R&D centers specializing in multi-media in-car systems and auto electronics diagnosis & inspection systems are under construction now. The aim of the Shanghai auto electronics industrial base is to concentrate auto electronics makers who formerly were scattered throughout various districts of Shanghai into a cooperative cluster in Jiading, a centre for auto component manufacturing.

Chongqing Konggang Auto Electronics Industrial Base

Konggang Auto Electronics Industrial Base is located in Chongqing Konggang Industrial zone, a city-level industrial zone approved by the Chongqing municipal government in 2002. The industrial base occupies over 2 sqkm and has an initial investment capital of over RMB 2 billion.

Dalian Jinzhou Auto Electronics Industrial Park

Established in 2002, Jinzhou Auto Electronics Industrial Park is located in Dalian Jinzhou Development Zone, a provincial industrial zone in Dalian. Occupying over 2.7 sqkm, the park now has over 40 auto electronics companies, of which 60 are foreign-invested. Major investors include Alpine, Dalian Alps Electronics and TianYuan Electronics.

3.2009 Shanghai Auto Show: Chery Launches Four New Sub-Brands from https://www.360docs.net/doc/4d524053.html,

Published Apr 17, 2009

SHANGHAI, China — Chery Automobile is extending its domestic(本国的)product range to four brands and launching more than a dozen new models at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show next week. It's all part of a broader long-range expansion and the foundation for a planned initial public offering in 2009. Currently, the company markets all its vehicles in China under the Chery brand. This year, it is adding three new brands —Riich, Rely and Karry— each with its own separate sales and marketing network.

Chery is seen as the core, mainstream brand. It will continue to sell a wide range of affordable vehicles in different sizes and body types, from the new QQ me minicar to the Tiggo3 hybrid crossover. It will also unveil the redesigned Fengyun 2 sedan and hatchback.

Karry (Kairui in Chinese) will be comprised mainly of small commercial vehicles aimed primarily at the rural market, beginning with the new Viewsonic microvan.

Riich (Ruiqi in Chinese) is the company's premium(优质)brand. Its four basic series include sedans, minicars, crossovers and minivans. Chery already has introduced the G6sedan and the M1 minicar, and will present debuts of the G5 sedan, the M5 sedan and the X1 crossover at the Shanghai show next week.

Rely (Weilin in Chinese) is aimed more at business users. That brand will market a range of MPVs, crossovers and SUVs. Eventually, it may add pickups as well. Next week, the brand will unveil a variety of new models, including the X5 utility vehicle, the V5 and V8 crossovers and the H3 and H5 minivans. A Tiger3 pickup is

also in the works.

Chery has designed new logos for each of the three new brands. The most distinctive — and derivative — is the Riich logo, which closely resembles Bentley's familiar winged B.

Inside Line says:Chery is spending more money and flexing its muscles in the local market. But its eye remains on more lucrative pastures(利润丰厚的市场)overseas. —Hu Lei, Correspondent

5.Chrysler CEO on Chery Deal From https://www.360docs.net/doc/4d524053.html, Posted by: Matt Vella on January 02, 2009

Chrysler‘s corporate b log, TheFireHouse (registration required) just posted (about 15 mins ago) an interesting ―interview‖ between the blog‘s ―editor‖ and Chrysler Group President and CEO Tom LaSorda. The topic? The dea l to distribute Chery‘s made-in-China small cars, a.k.a. subcompacts, a.k.a B-segment vehicles, in North America. Though somewhat padded, the exchange hits up some interesting topics, notably the political implications and the copmany‘s lack of non-truck or SUV models.

The exchange with the juicy in bold:

Question – Why partner with Chery, or any Chinese car company for that matter, instead of building the car here in North America or at a DaimlerChrysler plant in China?

LaSorda –―Well, first of all, we‘r e talking about a B-segment, which is a very small compact car, and if you look at the U.S. market or even in NAFTA, all the B-segment vehicles are being imported from the Asia region. The major reason is their cost structure and their ability to engineer and design in those segments. And we really cannot compete nor can anyone making it in this region.‖

Q – This being an election year, will this be used as a political statement about more jobs going to China?

LaSorda –―Well, first of all, I can‘t contro l what people say politically. What I can control is the fact that we are already exporting cars into China –the Chrysler Group. We‘re also producing locally the 300, the minivan into China, and most people don‘t know that we‘re exporting a large percenta ge of the componetries of these cars –the engines, the transmissions and major high-cost parts that are made by Americans and Canadians primarily – are being shipped over to these markets for us in China. I tell you, there are a lot of jobs being preserved by our growth in China and our exports there. And this (the Chery deal) will have no impact because we‘re not even involved in the B-segment today.‖

Q – Can China build a quality car that will satisfy North American consumers?

LaSorda –―Well, absolute ly, and our role here is to ensure that our engineering and design and quality teams are working with Chery along the way to meet the stringent standards, not only in North America but around the world. And that teamwork will continue throughout this proje ct.‖

Q – Will this car mean the death of the Hornet, the muscular small car concept that we saw at the Geneva auto show this year?

LaSorda –―The Hornet is a great statement of our design. It is also a statement that it‘s something that we‘re going to co ntinue to take a look at, and depending on the business case going, we‘ll look at that independently from this particular project.‖

Q –How will this help the Chrysler Group‘s attempts here in the United States to shift some of the mix away from pickup trucks, minivans and SUVs with gas prices high right now?

LaSorda –―Well, the consumers are, quite frankly, just looking for choice, and the fact that the Chrysler Group doesn‘t even play in this segment, it‘s very important that we do. This is important for our growth here, but not only here in the NAFTA region - and I‘m talking Canada, Mexico and the United States - but the European markets and other growth areas, where the growth is going. We need to follow with a cross-section of great cars and trucks across our whole portfolio(系列产品). That‘s why we need this in this region as well. Our attempt here will help us in this region because the gas mileage of this car will be exceptionally good and we‘re looking forward to this coming in to help us as this segm ent is growing in this region and we just need to play a part.‖

6.Geely rises to record high on Volvo progress From https://www.360docs.net/doc/4d524053.html,

Posted by: Ian Rowley on October 29,2009

Even with confirmation from Ford that China‘s Geely is the preferred buyer for the U.S. automaker‘s Volvo marque, there are still concerns that the long-rumored deal won‘t get off the ground. Bloomberg News reports that talks may yet fail as the two companies must still resolve protection for intellectual-property rights. Bloomberg notes that Beijing Auto couldn‘t work out a deal to buy Opel earlier this year due to similar concerns.

For sure, Chinese automakers are renowned, if that is the right word, for the similarities between their cars and those of foreign rivals. Indeed, one of the highlights of the Shanghai auto show in April was the Geely GE (pictured above) which is, if nothing else, a first-class Rolls Royce Phantom imitation. The Geely GE is not yet on sale and perhaps shouldn‘t be taken too seriously. Still, at the time, Rolls Royce said it was considering legal action.

Analysts, meanwhile, say that even if the V olvo deal is finally sealed, success isn‘t guaranteed. While backers of overseas expansion reckon that such deals can help the Chinese automakers get footholds in European and U.S. markets, access to advanced technologies, and, in the case of brands like V olvo, a chance to piggyback on their reputations for sturdiness and safety, the record of Chinese automakers doesn‘t offer too much encouragement. China watchers warn that making big deals work may be even tougher for its automakers, given the challenge of bridging the large cultural and legal differences between China and elsewhere.

For all that, there were signs today that many investors like the prospect of Geely paying a possible $2 billion for V olvo. Shares in Geely Automobile Holdings, which is listed in Hong Kong, rose 4.5% at one point, reaching a record high despite the market as a whole declining.

The latest gains - Geely‘s stock has quadrupled this year - followed comments from Li Shufu, the carmaker‘s founder and chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, the parent of Geely Automobile Holdings. ―We are

delighted with the progress of our discussions with Ford,‖ he said in a statement on Oct. 28.―This is an important strategic step for Geely.‖

7.Geely's Volvo coup raises eyebrows from

https://www.360docs.net/doc/4d524053.html,

Nicolas Van Praet, Financial Post Published: Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Chinese automaker Geely has become a shining star in its domestic market by selling affordable small cars to buyers hungry to jump off their scooters and into auto ownership.

Now it wants to build up its image and international credibility with a takeover of a Swedish corporate icon prized for its safety technology and reputation for quality: Volvo.

Ford Motor Co. said Wednesday it picked Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. Ltd.'s as its preferred bidder to buy its Volvo unit. Terms of Geely's bid were not disclosed but estimates for a transaction price are in the US$2-billion range.

"Ford believes Geely has the potential to be a responsible future owner of V olvo and to take the business forward while preserving its core values and the independence of the Swedish brand," Ford Chief financial officer Lewis Booth said in a statement. "But there is much work that needs to be completed."

There is no specific timeline to conclude the negotiations, Mr. Booth said. Ford will not retain a stake in V olvo, he said.

Geely welcomed the development, saying V olvo's manufacturing plants, research facilities, union agreements and dealer networks would all be maintained. V olvo management would be independent and headquartered in Gothenberg, Sweden, Geely said. The company said it would enhance Volvo's access to sales networks and parts sourcing opportunities in the growing Chinese market, where automakers now sell more new vehicles than the United States.

But exactly how a deal will play out is unclear.

Ford said that in any sale the deep connections between Ford and V olvo in shared component supply and engineering would have to be resolved. The Detroit maker of F-150 trucks and Focus cars is understood to be worried that its patents and other intellectual property may leak to rivals in China.

The nature of Chinese state involvement in a transaction and subsequent ownership is also unknown. Geely said its bid is backed by "Chinese banks" which it did not name.

Chinese automakers are desperately trying to shed their reputation for low-quality so they can grow their share of the domestic market and speed up their export capablity. In 2008, barely one in three new vehicles bought in China were Chinese brands.

By leveraging the capacity of some parts suppliers and selectively buying some of them, Geely has introduced several vehicles and brands at higher price points than its namesake Geely marque, China-based auto consultant Bill Russo said in an analysis published Oct. 27. These include Gleagle, London Taxi, Shanghai Maple and Emgrand.

"Geely intends to increase their brand equity by sourcing from the world's leading auto parts suppliers, and in the process upgrade their image from a maker of ?affordably priced cars' to one that delivers ?safe, fuel efficient, and environmentally-friendly cars,'" Mr. Russo said.

However, unlike previous acquisitions by Chinese companies of Western automotive assets like SAIC's purchase of the Rover brand, a deal for V olvo isn't about buying off-the-shelf technology for a cheap price. And some analysts say Geely may be biting off more than it can chew.

"I'm somewhat stunned to be honest that Ford are even entertaining it," said Paul Newton, a London-based analyst for IHS Global Insight. "If [Geely] was a larger concern with a bit more international experience, I'd say that ?Yeah, it could well be a posit ive thing for the Chinese companies.' But Geely I'm not so sure. They don't have a joint venture. They don't have any alliances with anyone. And they're buying a very complex, subtle, European premium brand that is struggling."

1。中国阿多诺(竞争)将在电动汽车从https://www.360docs.net/doc/4d524053.html,出版日期:2009年4月1日世界领导者

天津,中国- 中国领导人通过的探针杂交变成领先生产商之一的国家在三年内(混合)和全电动汽车的计划目标,并把它之后,在电动汽车和公共汽车的世界领先地位。我们的目标,它是由我国政府最高层的辐射,建议,底特律的三大巨头,已经为生存苦苦挣扎,甚至将面临更严厉的(强烈,严厉)对未来汽车技术发展比他们今天所做的外国竞争。

“中国完全有能力带领本,”戴维说Tulauskas,对中国政府的政策主管通用汽车。

从某种意义上说,中国正在对赔偿责任的美德(品德)。它是仅次于美国,日本和其他国家在谈到使天然气动力汽车,但目前的技术跳过,中国希望获得对下一个跳。

日本是混合动力车市场的领头羊,这对电力和汽油的运行,如丰田Prius和本田Insight的汽车。美国一直落后(落后者)替代车辆。通用汽车的插电式混合动力车雪佛兰Volt定于明年上市销售,并会在密歇根组装使用LG公司在韩国进口可充电电池。

中国的意图,除了创造一个世界领先的产业,将产生就业和出口,是减少城市污染,减少对石油的依赖,从中东和旅行过来由美国海军控制的海上航线。

但是,电动汽车可能无助于清除该国的烟雾昏暗的天空或抑制(限制)其迅速崛起的排放量(排放)全球变暖的气体。中国获得的煤炭,产生更多的煤烟(烟灰),超过其他燃料的温室气体3的电力的四分之三。

一个由麦肯锡公司的报告估计,去年秋天代之以一个类似规模的中国电动车汽油动力汽车将减少温室气体排放量只有百分之十九。这将减少城市污染,但是,通过将来自汽车排气管烟雾发电厂,这往往是位于城市以外的来源。

除了制造业,补贴(津贴)高达8800美元正在向的士车队(队)和当地政府机构在13个每个混合或全电动汽车,他们购买中国的城市。国家电网(系统网络)已下令成立电动汽车充电站,在北京,上海和天津。

政府为电动车设计研究的补贴正在迅速增强。和一间小组正计划税收抵免(谁对消费者购买替代能源车辆税收抵免)。

中国要提高其年生产能力为50万混合动力或全电动车和巴士由2011年底的2,100去年,政府官员和中国汽车高管说。相比之下,CSM Worldwide的一家咨询公司,并为汽车制造商预测,预计,日本和韩国一起将生产110万混合式或全电式,届时将和北美制造267,000辆轻型车。

美国能源部有它自己的250亿美元的项目,开发电动汽车和改进蓄电池技术,将获得的经济刺激方案的一部分,由国会通过另一项200亿美元用于电池开发。

国务院总理温家宝强调,他不会选择的电动汽车的重要性,成为科学和技术部部长:万钢,在上海出生的前奥迪在德国汽车工程师,谁后来成为我国政府的研究小组首席科学家两年前电动汽车。

万先生是在至少30年谁是不是共产党员的第一部长。

温家宝总理和他的电动车行业自己的连接。他出生于天津,成长在这里,对中国的电池行业,北京东南70英里的长期资本。

天津蓬勃发展的6年(兴盛)自温家宝成为总理。现在已经有中国的第一个子弹列车到北京的服务(),一个新的空中客车工厂和一个完美无暇的(整洁的)新机场。天津还收到了像天津清源电动汽车公司的企业研究资助激增。

电动汽车已经在中国几个实际好处。长途驾驶是罕见的。通勤相当短,往往因交通挤塞在低速行驶。因此,全电动汽车的限制- 在中国的最新型号有60英里的时速和120公里之间的收费范围内的最高速度- 是一个问题较少。

首次购车者也作出了四名中国市场的五分之四,而这些买家尚未习惯于更大的权力和汽油动力车的范围。

但电动车行业面临一些障碍也在这里。城市中的大多数居住在公寓里,不能在车道上安装充电设备,因此需要更多的公众收费中心即将成立。可充电锂离子电池在中国也有穷人的声誉。假冒(仿制品)锂离子(锂离子)的手机电池偶尔爆炸,造成伤亡。和索尼不得不召回真正的(真的)锂离子电池的笔记本电脑在2006年和2008年后,一些过热和起火或爆炸。这些安全问题有着密切的联系与锂离子钴(钴)电池,但是,并非越化学性质稳定的锂离子磷酸盐(磷酸盐)现在正在适应汽车用电池。

更艰巨的挑战是,所有的锂离子电池的价格昂贵,不论是否与钴或磷的。这将是一个节俭,中国消费者的障碍,特别是如果油价保持相对较低的高点相比,他们去年夏天。

中国在处理与它的速度,有助于工业化,把奥运:巨大的(极大的)数量的能源,金钱和人相同的工具的挑战。

比亚迪汽车有5000名工程师和同等数量的电池工程师,他们大部分在其总部设在深圳生活在一个公寓楼的15黄群,每18层楼高。年轻的工程师收入低于每月600元,包括福利。

当天津清源把今年秋季发售,其完全由电池供电的赛宝中型轿车,身体将来自轿车,通常为14 600美元,与汽油发动机配备销售。但是,引擎和油箱将被替换为14,000元电池和电动马达,吴邦国说张志新,该公司的总经理。

这意味着零售价将增加近一倍,达到近3万元。即使政府奖励的8800美元的最高资助的买家,这是一个沉重的(数额巨大)溢价(加价)。

大规模生产可以降低电池的包和百分之30或40电动机的成本,仍然让电动车比汽油动力的昂贵,吴先生说。但吴先生有很多钱,以寻求改进。他打断了他的公司在上周四总部接受采访时对他采取手机通话,礼貌地拒绝了对方提出的,并挂断了电话。

一个国家控制的银行总经理曾打电话询问他是否需要贷款,他解释道。

随着国家的中产阶级的崛起,而私人汽车的普及,更多的汽车已成为中国购买日常比任何其他国家在世界上。这个新兴(迅速成长)汽车消费,加上业界对更先进和具成本效益的汽车电子系统的举动,已经成为一个落后于中国的汽车电子产业增长的动力。本周,RightSite需要在中国的汽车电子产业园区密切关注,以及如何利用这一部门带来的机遇。

快速增长的汽车电子产业

◆中国汽车电子产业,到2009年预计将达到1480亿人民币

◆五consecutiv(连续的)电子市场的增长年

◆当地的电子市场预计将超过3000亿元,到2012年

即使是行业领袖,如通用,福特,沃尔沃,丰田,金融危机已经使2009年是艰难的一年汽车销售量。在这个黑暗(沮丧,昏暗),但是,中国在中国汽车市场的稳步增长中带来了一些希望到其他行业。虽然中国汽车销售总额在1月份下降14.4%,而私人汽车的数量达到了860,000辆的全国新纪录。这标志着中国历史上第一次在一个卖单月比美国更多的汽车,如果这种趋势继续下去那么中国可以正式成为世界上最大的汽车市场在2009年。

除了在中国的汽车行业,投资者的另一个重要趋势的总体增长是汽车电子产品市场的增长。据对2009-2012年中国汽车电子产业由中国投资咨询部(CIC),在中国汽车电子行业的价值(部门)发表展望报告,2008年更达到了超过1370亿人民币(约合200亿美元),较今年增加同比增长近13%。

论对中国的汽车市场在一般情况下,如燃油喷射(注入)先进的电子系统呈上升趋势外,防抱死制动,轮胎气压监控系统和车载娱乐系统已发挥了在汽车销售和制造业增长的作用。由于这种电子控制日益增加的需求和监测业务系统,议会预测,中国的汽车电子部门的规模将增长到2010年的2000亿人民币(约合二九二零零零零零零零零美元)。

汽车电子制造基地初具规模。

随着政府的不断支持和巨大的市场需求,也看到了中国大型汽车产业基地初具规模。汽车产业大集群,主要是长江三角洲地区,珠江三角洲地区,环渤海地区和东北地区东部的中国。对汽车行业的快速发展反过来促进了汽车电子市场的增长。目前,超过50%的汽车电子产品制造商设在集群将提高,同时公司之间的合作提出的材料和产品,降低运输成本。

与在大胆多汁的交流:

问题- 为什么与奇瑞的合作伙伴,或任何中华汽车公司为此事,而不是建立在北美的汽车在这里或在戴姆勒克莱斯勒公司在中国工厂?

拉索达- “嗯,首先,我们在谈论一个B段,这是一个非常小的紧凑型轿车,如果你看看美国市场,甚至在北美自由贸易协定,所有的B段正在进口车亚洲地区。最主要的原因是他们的成本结构和他们的工程师和设计能力,在这些领域。同时,我们实在不能让任何人竞争,也不能在这一地区的。“

Q - 这是一个选举年,这将被用作创造更多的就业机会去中国的政治声明?

拉索达- “嗯,首先,我无法控制别人怎么说政治。我可以控制的事实是,我们已经出口到中国的汽车- 克

莱斯勒集团。我们还制作了当地300,小型货车进入中国,大多数人不知道,我们出口的这些车的componetries很大比例- 在发动机,变速箱和费用较高的主要是制造的零件主要是由美国人和加拿大人- 正在向客户交付了超过我们这些市场在中国。我告诉你,有很多的就业机会被我们的增长在中国,我们的出口有保留。这(奇瑞交易)不会有任何影响,因为我们甚至没有在B段涉及的今天。“

Q - 中国能否建立优良的汽车,将满足北美的消费者?

拉索达- “哦,绝对,我们的职责是确保我们的工程设计和质量团队正与奇瑞前进的道路上,以满足严格的标准不仅在北美,但在世界各地。而且整个团队将继续这个项目。“

Q - 如何将这种帮助在美国的克莱斯勒集团的企图在这里转移的混合一些远离皮卡,小型货车和SUV的高油价现在?

拉索达- “嗯,消费者坦率地说,只是寻求选择,而事实上,克莱斯勒集团甚至没有发挥在这一领域,这是非常重要的是我们做的事。这是在这里为我们的成长很重要,但在这里,不仅在北美自由贸易区- 我说加拿大,墨西哥和美国- 但欧洲市场和其他领域的增长,其中增长的发展方向。我们要遵循一个跨大轿车和卡车的一段跨越我们整个产品组合(系列产品)。这就是为什么我们需要在这个地区这一点。我们尝试在这里将帮助我们在这一地区,因为这车油耗将特别好,我们期待着这次进来帮助,因为这部分我们是在这个地区不断扩大,我们只需要发挥作用。“

发布者:10月29,2009伊恩罗利

即使从福特证实,中国的吉利,是美国汽车制造商的首选买家沃尔沃牌子,仍有忧虑,传闻已久的交易将不下车的理由。彭博社报道说,会谈还可能因为这两家公司未能仍然必须解决的知识产权的保护。彭博指出,北京汽车不能工作了收购欧宝今年早些时候因同样的关注。

当然,中国著名的汽车制造商,如果是正确的话,他们的汽车之间以及外国竞争对手的相似性。事实上,在4月的上海车展的亮点之一是吉利通用电气公司(见上图),即如果没有别的,一流的劳斯莱斯幻影模仿。吉利GE是尚未出售,或许不应该太认真对待。然而,在当时,罗尔斯罗伊斯公司表示,它正考虑采取法律行动。

分析家同时,说,即使沃尔沃终于密封处理,成功是没有保证。虽然海外扩张的支持者认为,这种交易可以帮助中国汽车制造商在欧洲和美国获得立足点市场,获得先进技术,并在如沃尔沃,一对坚固和安全,其品牌声誉的机会搭载案件我国汽车记录不提供太多的鼓励。中国观察家们警告说,使工作有较大的交易,可为汽车制造商甚至更严厉,由于衔接的大型文化和法律与中国和其他地方不同的挑战。

对于这一切,有迹象显示,像今天的吉利付出了沃尔沃可能斥资2亿美元前景许多投资者。吉利汽车控股有限公司,这是在香港上市的股票上涨4.5%,在一个点,达到创纪录的高,尽管随着市场整体下降。

最新的收益- 吉利的股价已翻了两番,今年- 其次从李书福的汽车制造商的创始人,浙江吉利控股集团,吉利汽车控股母公司主席的意见。“我们与福特的讨论取得进展感到高兴,”他说,在10月28日的声明。“这是一个重要的吉利的战略步骤。”

尼古拉凡Praet,金融邮报:星期三,2009年10月28日

中国吉利汽车已成为国内市场的一颗璀璨明星通过销售廉价小型车买家的饥饿跳下将其摩托车和汽车的所有权。

现在要建立一个与瑞典公司为它的安全技术和质量信誉收购珍贵的图标:沃尔沃的形象和国际信誉。

福特汽车公司周三表示,作为其首选投标人挑选浙江吉利控股集团有限公司的单位购买其沃尔沃。吉利的出价的具体条款尚未透露,但对于一个交易价格估计,美国分别为2亿美元之间。

“福特认为,吉利有可能成为未来的主人负责沃尔沃,并采取业务发展的同时保持其核心价值和瑞典品牌的独立性,”福特首席财务官刘易斯布斯在声明中说。“但还有许多工作需要完成。”

有没有具体的时间表,以结束谈判,展位先生说。福特将不会保留在沃尔沃的股份,他说。

吉利的发展表示欢迎,称沃尔沃的制造工厂,研究设施,工会协议和经销商网络都将予以保留。沃尔沃管理将是独立的,在瑞典哥德堡总部,吉利说。该公司表示,将加强沃尔沃的访问和零部件采购销售网络在不断发展的中国市场,现在卖汽车比美国更多的新车辆的机会。

但究竟如何处理将发挥出来还不清楚。

福特说,在任何销售福特和沃尔沃之间共享组件中的深供水工程和连接都必须解决。的F - 150卡车底特律汽车制造商和重点是理解为担心其专利和其他知识产权可能会泄漏到中国的对手。

在交易中国家的参与和随后的所有制性质也不明。吉利表示,其出价被“,”中国银行支持的,它没有名称。中国汽车制造商拼命地摆脱低素质,使他们能发展其国内市场份额,加快出口capablity声誉。2008年,几乎没有一人在中国购买了3辆新车中的品牌。

通过利用一些零部件供应商的能力和选择性地购买其中的一些,吉利推出了数辆汽车在比其高价位同名吉利牌子,中国的汽车品牌顾问鲁索说,条例草案10月27日发表的分析。这些措施包括Gleagle,伦敦出租车,上海华普和Emgrand。

“吉利打算增加从世界领先的汽车零部件供应商采购的品牌资产,并在这一过程升级从'制造商的形象价格适中汽车的一个,提供'安全,省油,以及环保车,'“罗素先生说。

然而,像不像由上汽的罗孚品牌,沃尔沃汽车交易购买西方公司以前收购的资产中不是一个便宜的价格买现成的现成技术。一些分析师说,吉利可能贪多嚼它。

“我有点吃惊地说实话,福特更有趣了,”保罗牛顿说,一个咨询公司IHS Global Insight的总部位于伦敦的分析师。“如果[吉利],是一个具有较大国际经验多一点关心,我会说'是的,这很可能是为中国企业积极的事情。'但吉利我不那么肯定。他们没有一个合资企业。他们没有与任何人的任何联盟。而且他们买一个非常复杂的,微妙,欧洲顶级品牌是挣扎。“
