    Analysts said Toyota’s global recall of the first half of this year and in recent months, incidents of domestic frequent vehicles for the new Regulations on the catalyst, only appeared in China in June 7 car recall.

    Although not yet verified the AQSIQ automobile industry, “strike out”, but frequently the recent recall of the automotive market would seem that the new regulations in response to.

    From Toyota’s Lexus line, the general recalled imported cars, and then to recall Subaru Legacy, Outback, and Nissan, Volvo, China’s auto recall all of a sudden become so dense.

    Highlights of new regulations

    1. Legal responsibility for a specific

    Draft Basic Law Article 40 clearly states: producers deliberately concealed, false or improper handling of automotive products for defects, and constitutes a quality laws and regulations of the violations, held in accordance with relevant laws and regulations related responsibilities.

    Quality of products does not constitute an offense under the laws and regulations, shall be ordered to stop production, sale, import, impose illegal production, sale, import value of the products of 2% to 50% of the fine; the illegal income shall be confiscated ; circumstances are serious, shall be ordered to suspend business for rectification.

    3. Clarified the scope of application

    Draft provides for the scope of the Ordinance, namely in the manufacture, import, sale of automotive products, recall and their supervision management, and application of this Ordinance.

    Industry Analysis

    The new regulations has improved but needs refinement

    Well-known car critic bell division, said the auto recall regulations in the past has much to be desired, punishment is too low, and now the new regulations increased the punishment, which is often prompted recently recalled one of the reasons.

    However, auto analyst at PricewaterhouseCoopers Autofacts sudarshan Asia-Pacific region in the interview with this reporter, said that a well-designed, easy to implement the recall system is a mature auto market, an important symbol of China and the United States at this point Germany and Japan, there is a gap between.

    Sudarshan said that China’s current implementation of the new recall system that the Chinese government is working to reduce it to international level. However, the system of standards is not enough refining, he thought, to recall the fine, for example, the value of the vehicles 2% to 50% is very different, and can not explain how the implementation of these penalties. Similarly, the new rules did not “car safety assessment” for detailed instructions.

    Sudarshan said that China should learn from the U.S. Highway Traffic Safety Administration and other global institutions, from the provisions of the Chinese can see the complete implementation process. More important, China can learn from monitoring and implementation mechanisms to help them complete systems.

Perhaps it is for this reason that makes the new 5 Series long-wheelbase version of the market, known as the BMW, the biggest in China in recent years, a release. However, in this grand behind, for the competitors, BMW executives have confidence in no way “mouths Xialiu Qing”, but belligerent.

Future sales of 3 BMW 5 Series car is

With this as the “high-end business so far the most perfect car” to market, distribution of BMW in the Chinese market is also a pawn of the most important final orders. The reason why it is important because in the future in China, sales of BMW, 5 Series models will be one of the most important contributors.

In the listing event, Daley repeatedly stressed: “We expect future sales of three vehicles each type, there is a 5 Series models should be is.” This means that in future sales of BMW, 5 Series at least one-third share.

According to him, the first half of this year, BMW 5 Series sales reached 17,000, a long wheelbase version of the new 5 Series appearance since the Beijing auto show to be very high after the concern, there are a lot of orders, “We believe that the long axis of the new 5 Series listing from the version 5 series will further boost sales. ”

This time, BMW announced the official listing of a total of 4 models, namely, luxury 523Li, 528Li luxury, 535Li 535 Li Luxury and administrative type, price range is 489,600 to 791,600 yuan.

BMW Brilliance Automotive Co., Ltd. President and CEO Kang Siyuan, said: “The new 5 Series long wheelbase version of every detail is tailored for Chinese customers are more in line with customer needs in China. Brand-new design and innovative technology to substantially improve power, fuel consumption and emissions on average by 18%, and has a more spacious and comfortable back room, the price more competitive. ”

It is understood that, in addition to these high-coordination model, the BMW relevant Chinese official told reporters, followed by some low-equipped models will all be released at the same time, in addition to long-wheelbase versions, the Standard Edition to import the new 5 Series will also form introduced during the year, but the people who stressed: “The import of the standard car sales will not be much, but in order to meet market demand, there will still be the introduction of small quantities.”

The new BMW 5 Series Mercedes E-class comprehensive than new?

Daimler Chairman Zetsche has publicly said: “We will be here (in China) to catch up sooner than we entered the other two German high-end brands (BMW and Audi).”

In this year’s Beijing auto show, the new BMW 5 Series long-wheelbase version has just appeared in the domestic market, the BMW Group’s Greater China President and CEO Shi Dengke once said that the new BMW 5 Series sales will certainly be over-Benz E level.

This reporter learned that, in order to make the new BMW 5 Series long-wheelbase version of the Chinese market the success of BMW in its own tension on the production joint venture in providing greater support for. Earlier, reporters discovered during a visit to his factory, the factory most of the capacity is allocated to the new 5 Series long-wheelbase version.

It is this competition between the escalation of the situation, making the original plan by the end of the listing of the new BMW 5 Series long-wheelbase version of listed earlier. Now with the new BMW 5 Series long-wheelbase version of the formal market, although the market has not officially end the war, but the two sides level in the “war of words,” the trend has been upgraded.

Previously listed for the new Mercedes-Benz E-class long-wheelbase version of models, Daley told reporters: “In fact, this generation of Mercedes-Benz E-class and BMW 5 Series we’re old and is a level model, and the new BMW 5 Series Long wheelbase version has been fully beyond the Mercedes-Benz E-class long-wheelbase version of model. ”

However, the super-market data does not exceed or rely on words. Statistics show that during the first half of this year, BMW delivered to customers in China, a total of 75,615 BMW and MINI vehicles, up 101%, so that China overtook the UK as the world’s third largest market for BMW Group. The Mercedes-Benz the first half of this year, Mercedes sold in China, AMG, smart, and Maybach cars nearly 59,600, representing growth of 122% over the same period in 2009. From the perspective of total sales, Mercedes-Benz continues to lag behind BMW, but the growth rate from the point of view, Mercedes-Benz is faster.

From the segments, the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-class sales in the first half of the gap between the small, but Mercedes-Benz E-class is slightly ahead. BMW 5 Series 1.7 million vehicles, while Mercedes-Benz E-class are more than 18,000.

Insiders said that with the loosening of the current high-end sedan market prices, market competition is more intense, for BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in the range of competition will inevitably more complex and more factors. In the new 5 Series long wheelbase version of the recall before the listing, although not involved in long-wheelbase version of model, but for the BMW brand is undoubtedly missing a trick.

July 30, BYD BYD in Shenzhen with Daimler Pingshan base in the “New Technology Co., Ltd. Shenzhen BYD Daimler” was established and plans to launch in 2013 the first car of new energy products.

Another happy news for BYD is led by the Ministry of Industry, the “energy-saving and new energy vehicle development plan (2011-2020)” (the “Plan”) has been completed or will be finalized this month and submitted to the State Council.

Have been disclosed under “planning” the draft shows that by 2020, new energy automotive industry and market size to reach the world’s first, in which new energy vehicles (plug-in hybrid vehicles, electric cars, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, etc.) to maintain reached 5 million. 3-5 at home while also forming the backbone of the new energy automobile company, formed 2-3 furniture has independent intellectual property rights and strong international competitiveness of the power battery, motor and other key components key enterprises, industrial concentration above 80% .

Clearly, BYD will benefit greatly.

“BYD already has developed a new energy vehicles, solar power, energy storage power station as the leading new energy plan. New energy automotive industry of the rapid arrival of the BYD, the opportunities and challenges.” 8 , BYD Auto Public Relations Manager, said to our reporter Xu security, BYD will be as determined as the development of new energy vehicles car companies into the automotive industry since has started to use their own batteries in the field of IT and strong distribution capabilities new energy industries, total investment more than 1 billion yuan, in the motor, battery and electronic control systems are a major breakthrough and progress, and the first to bring dual-mode and pure electric vehicles F3DM tram e6 commercialization.

Hand-Benz high-end market Wayfinding

July 30, listed a low-key ceremony was held in BYD Shenzhen Pingshanyou base. With BYD President Wang Chuanfu and Daimler board member Thomas Weber Boshi La red silk cloth under the plaque, “Daimler-new Technology Co., Ltd. Shenzhen BYD,” announced the operation.

Xu Anjie Shao, the newly formed New Technology Co., Ltd. BYD Daimler-Benz from the BYD and set up their respective 50% funded, joint venture registered capital of 600 million yuan. Under the agreement, both parties will combine the Mercedes – Benz in the field of electric vehicle structure and safety of proprietary technology, as well as Biyadite some car batteries and drive technology to develop next-generation electric vehicle, the first product planned for 2013 market. Daimler and BYD will also research and development of new energy vehicles together to create a new brand.

It is reported that the two companies have already started to organize the engineers, designers and other management personnel to develop new models of early preparations. That a number of persons settled in Germany joint venture company, to serve as the joint venture, including key positions, including chief operating officer; and vice president of BYD Co., Ltd. Lian Yu Bo, will become the new technology of Shenzhen, BYD Co., Daimler company CEO.

“Its product to reduce carbon emissions, Daimler-Benz is the world’s development of new energy vehicles, has been actively looking for partners; BYD happens to have excellent battery technology, in order to win the global consumer recognition, well-known car manufacturers need to work together to enhance the brand. “Orient Securities analyst said an auto industry, both sides have their respective advantages, Daimler hoping to BYD’s battery technologies” shortcuts “to speed up the occupation of the Chinese market and cooperation to meet their needs, so hit it off.

As Shenzhen and Huizhou City are working together to create the new energy automotive industry started the project demonstration area, BYD – Mercedes-Benz electric car project covers an area of 2.387 square kilometers, which covers an area of 1.521 square kilometers Ping Mountain, covers an area of 0.866 square kilometers, Huizhou Daya Bay and the new energy automotive industry demonstration zone covers an area of 59.7 square kilometers.

Peep the new energy vehicles in overseas markets

It is understood that there F3DM BYD electric cars, and E6, which has been open to individuals F3DM sales, but only in the taxi area E6 trial operation. BYD said relevant, BYD – Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles is the high-end positioning of new energy vehicles will not be released to its current F3DM, E6 conflict.

But let BYD is excited or the domestic market. “Planning,” draft show, 2020, China’s new energy automotive industry and market size will reach the world’s first hybrid vehicle to which the representatives of the fuel-efficient cars sold in the world, annual sales reached 15 million. At the same time the next decade, the central government come up with more than 100 billion yuan of the huge amount of money to support energy conservation and new energy automotive industry chain. For the purchase of energy-saving and new energy vehicles to consumers, reduce vehicle purchase tax and consumption tax.

Clearly, this new energy vehicles, “feast” natural and ultimately, BYD.

Xu Ann also introduced have been issued, “on the purchase of new energy vehicles to carry out subsidies for private pilot’s circular” plug-in hybrid vehicle the maximum subsidy for 50,000 yuan each, the maximum subsidy of pure electric passenger vehicles per 60,000 yuan . BYD e6 F3DM and respectively the categories of countries where the highest subsidies. Subsidies for new energy vehicles in Shenzhen as the first pilot city, in addition to national policy subsidies, Shenzhen BYD F3DM also given 80,000 yuan each one-time subsidy, but also the use of vehicles will be introduced subsidies associated with the process.

“These measures will help boost BYD go faster.” Analysts say.

Prior to this, BYD’s new energy auto market, mainly in Shenzhen, BYD to the current global strategy to enter the North American market as a strong point. According to BYD stakeholders introduced in the first half of this year, BYD presence of a number of high-level access to the North American market, develop business for the North American market and established three operations headquarters. Since then, BYD plans to sell in Western Europe has set up a headquarters.

“North American headquarters will be responsible for new energy vehicles, solar cells, energy storage power station in North American sales and technical support, then it would also involve the Bufen product design, service and training.” Individual this has been said in the media.

In fact, BYD has been developed in Europe, plans to sell new energy vehicles, which are expected beginning next year, the sales practices were used in different European subsidies and not to subsidize the national sales of new energy vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles cars.

Imagine chain expansion

BYD President Wang Chuanfu in the strategic plan, the new car is a separate energy and open to the. But with the new energy vehicles rapid expansion of the territory, BYD cars in the new energy behind the energy industry is forming a new network.

“In the BYD’s new strategy in the energy industry, currently include electric vehicles, solar power, energy storage power station.” Recently, at the time this reporter visited the Museum of BYD, BYD to introduce electric vehicles, iron battery and storage power stations, solar power station is BYD’s “three green dream.” Solar panels to battery energy storage energy transfer to the railway station, storage power stations and other electrical equipment to give electric vehicles charge. That for the upper, middle and downstream industry chain grasp the depth will undoubtedly create a good overall efficiency.

The analysts believe that, in fact, more than individual this is associated to the development industry to look further development of electric cars to fix the market, charging problem, BYD, and KB Home, the United States jointly build a new residential energy, it is equipped with electric Automobile charging system.

This reporter saw a house in BYD new energy, “full of” BYD own products: solar power, wind generators, energy storage power plants, water purification equipment, as well as the building itself and the production of solar panels required silicon material, and such green houses in the United States there are five sets of Lancaster City.

In the house, can that BYD dual-mode vehicles and pure electric vehicles e6 F3DM charge.

Wang Chuanfu frankly, BYD’s strategic radiation emerging industry, from wind to solar, from ore, industrial silicon, high purity silicon, polysilicon, slice, modules, installation, solar power stations.

As planned, this new energy industry, BYD network implementation is being prepared.

“Daily Economic News” from the car dealer was informed that, if the dealer stock index (stock number and ratio of sales per month) over 2, will result in dealer cash flow problems. The research data in the vapor, in July vehicle inventory cycle of 55 days from June up to 58 days, that the total vehicle stock coefficient is 1.93, was close to the cash flow “alarm level.”

Data: total inventory coefficient approaching peak

According to data from BARI, in July the national output of 1.238 million vehicles, lower than 4.34%, Central, up 12.88 percent, sales of completed 1,056,200, 6.70% lower chain, up 17.18%, auto stock market soared to 180,000, Inventory growth was slightly higher than average.

Zhao Hang, director of gas research, said in July, the monthly growth in vehicle inventory cycle still continued, from June of 55 days up to 58 days. One passenger car inventory cycle from 57 days up to 60 days, commercial inventory cycle from 49 days up to 50 days.

It is understood that under normal circumstances dealer inventory coefficient generally 1 to 1.3, but the above figures, the July total vehicle inventory coefficient of 1.93, coefficient of passenger cars in the inventory has reached 2, has reached the peak 2.

Sales growth is due to inventory reduction and increased volume of auto companies Yaku. Historical data to reflect the entire car market in June, July and August were at a low level, other car manufacturers had the effect of expansion of production capacity began to emerge, thus leading to the current dealer stocks soaring.

Survey: increasing the pressure on dealer inventory

August 6, Shanghai scorching sun, a city north of own-brand dealership’s sales is not ideal, this reporter saw only two of its showroom sales staff, sales staff told reporters, “Business is pretty short due to the recent, shop customers too much, sales staff are on shift with me. ”

Store marketing to the “Daily Economic News” reporter was told that the dealer storage coefficient has reached 2, mainly due to declining sales and purchase increasing numbers.

Reporter from Beijing Hyundai, Dongfeng Honda, Dongfeng Yueda Kia, FAW Mazda, Changan Mazda and Volvo brand dealer that, due to poor car market as a whole, dealer inventories have increased to varying degrees.

Shanghai, a general manager of Dongfeng Honda dealership told reporters, Dongfeng Honda to go with the trend in the overall market on it, dealer inventories have increased somewhat, but the CR-V and Civic have been better for the market sales, inventory at a relatively reasonable level.

Head of a Volvo dealership also said that Volvo’s stock coefficient has reached about 1.7, with only one around, the second half of macroeconomic development is difficult to judge, so growth in the second half of the car market is difficult to predict.

A reporter from Beijing Changan Mazda dealers understand that entered in July, the store sales decreased, inventory pressures increase. The dealer said that the shop is actively planning a variety of promotions to attract customers, but dealers generally nowadays environment in price promotions, customer response to the activities not so positive.

Mazda dealers in Beijing, another there, the store director of sales and manufacturers strive to avoid the communication and whether cash flow problems, only said, “Now the pressure is indeed a bit difficult to sustain the stock.”

Future inventory pressure for the development of automotive trends, Zhao Hang, said the inventory cycle will continue the growth momentum, all manufacturers should start adjusting capacity to adapt to the market.

Self: dealers how to “blood”

Car dealer inventory increases lead to increased take up of funds, while sales fell to dealer capital return is slowed down, so auto dealers also will finance tight.

From car dealers and auto manufacturers to see between the method of payment, very few dealers will use its own funds for one-time payment, and then extracted from the car manufacturers are cars. Most dealers mostly in the form of bank notes payable to the bank or financial institution to pay a certain percentage of funds, banks or financial institutions would pay the full amount to the manufacturer, until now car dealers to sell to achieve extraction of the recovered funds, further bank or financial institution to pay the balance.

Dealer who asked not to be named the “Daily Economic News” reporter analyzing Road, if the manufacturers mentioned in 100 to 400 thousand yuan average price of the car, the total funding requirements for the 40 million yuan, dealers generally to the agreement 20% of bank funds to pay certain fees and then pay back to bank the remaining 32 million yuan, if the pay is usually within two months free of interest,

“But also the equivalent of interest charges, and general fees in three thousandths or so, credit the amount also depends on the strength and background dealers, distributors poor strength smaller line of credit.” The dealer who added.

The source also said, “If a dealer a few months before the weaker sales are 100, which dropped to 60 months of sales, inventory increases, the occupation of the capital will surge and capital return will go wrong, will appear due to inability to repay bank accounts of the situation, leading distributors of funds strand breaks. ”

Dealers facing tight cash flow of about three kinds of solution paths, one markdowns, sell more cars to speed up recovery of its investment, and second, in consultation with the banks to enhance credit limits, three additional cash by other means.

According to the “Daily Economic News” to report, now more than before the two paths dealers to ensure smooth functioning of capital flows. Beijing Hyundai dealer told a reporter, “Now inventory coefficient close to 2, capital flow under pressure, Beijing Hyundai to the dealer’s profit is 7, we give it away almost all of the other, we and the Beijing Modern Financial consultations to enhance the line of credit, the original is 20 million yuan, now raised to 27 million yuan was. ”

Auto dealers, said a Shanghai, Shanghai Automotive Dealers major financial companies with the docking SAIC, SAIC financial companies have also been raised on the Shanghai Auto’s dealer financial support, to ensure a smooth flow of operation of the cash dealer.

Differences: expanding network of dealers not sure manufacturers

In the case of the cash-strapped dealers, the “Daily Economic News” reporter visited the market, found that major car manufacturers have continued to expand the dealer network, dealers said the market outlook Quedui confused.

Yang Jiang Road in Shanghai’s see, where large-scale changes in more than two years ago, two years ago, only a few here that serves automobile dealers, Volvo gathered here today, the import community, southeast of cars, BYD, Dongfeng Yueda Kia, JAC, MG, BMW, Ford dealer, and many other brands.

Among them, Volvo, Import Volkswagen, Southeast cars, BYD dealers are open for six months or a new store opening soon, next to a forthcoming completion of the FAW-Volkswagen 4S shop.

Shanghai Tong Fu Xiang Li Jianzhong, general manager of auto sales on the “Daily Economic News” the reporter said to Volvo, for example, Jiang Tong Fu Xiang Yang Road store is the Volvo 100 stores in China, but also Volvo China’s flagship store, in the past two years, Volvo added four in Shanghai, 4S shop.

Li Jianzhong, said automobile market influenced by the macro, the second half of the automotive market uncertainty, however, still in the initial state of the Volvo brand, small holdings, in October after the end of last year might be restored to the state.

Zheng Min, general manager at Hai Weishi Huakai sales also told reporters, “The automotive market has overdraft signs in the second half the situation more complicated, the automotive market will depend on the country how to develop the automotive industry’s driving force

Data show that in July, the monthly cycle of the domestic auto stocks are still in the continuation of the momentum of growth, from June’s 55 days to 58 days. Among passenger cars inventory cycle from 57 days to 60 days, commercial inventory cycle from 49 days to 50 days. Widely believed 45 days to 60 days of inventory as a reasonable stock. Thus, vehicle inventories are close to the ceiling. While the overall domestic car sales trend is not optimistic, but the effect of fuel-efficient cars subsidy policy is very clear. 71 of 16 enterprises of energy-saving models automotive products, July’s sales of 57,353, ring up 11.75% than in June, while passenger car sales drop chain in June narrowed from 5.25% to 3.44%.

As the first month of the second half of this year, car production and sales data in July compared to last year does not seem ideal. Industry analysts believe that low-emission vehicle purchase tax by half, “car to the countryside” and “TM” and a series of preferential policies driven car market last year a rare year without off-season, but this year automotive market tends to be more rational production and sales in July have continued the off-season market. Industry that the seasonal decline in auto production and sales volume is normal, and that the two data and the same period last year, growth is still high, sales were up 12.88 percent year on year and 17.18%. But the overall auto market from the current situation to see, 1 – 7 months, the cumulative vehicle production and sales were 9.7103 million and 8.2414 million, the annual 15 million sales target will be completed, or even to break 17 million.

Beijing: August auto market price reduction is the main theme

After reading the data, we look at specific market price, the first market in Beijing, we press survey found that price cuts in Beijing auto market has become the main theme of this month. Whether it is based, mid-size car or a luxury car, all have added to the ranks of markdowns. To specifically find out.

Auto market in Beijing, northern China, markdowns signs everywhere. Firm price has been known for Toyota, but also cutting prices, the new Corolla is not only lower prices, gonna take care, priced from 92,800 to 114,800 yuan, the highest favorable than the old Corolla paragraph 15 thousand yuan. Shanghai VW in the current round of price war has started shaking, Long Yat gave out 2,000 yuan and 2,000 yuan purchase tax package are promotions, polo is also the preferential margins extended to around 2,000 yuan in cash, and bring Yu is launched buy Car Jisong discount package are worth 5,000 yuan. Luxury car is no exception, Volvo C70 straight down 100,000 yuan, XC90 entire department offers 90,000 yuan, the Audi A8 offers 100,000 yuan, 45,000 yuan favorable public Phaeton, BMW 3 Series offers 50 thousand yuan, Reixa Williams ES offers 30,000 yuan.

Auto Dealers: “Now the car price cuts are more like modern Wyatt moving behind me, the original price was 119,800, and now none other 10,005, relatively large price cut. Now is the off-season, the pressure of our larger distributors, we To ensure sales. ”

Shanghai: dealer inventory increases in Adversity

July is the traditional car sales, “low season”, with a variety of models discount, it is easy to draw conclusions auto market downturn, but the industry trend is not entirely the same as the performance of local markets, our correspondent in Shanghai discovered that Shanghai’s auto market is not a depression, compared to June or even a wave of selling a small climax. With the variety of new vehicles will be listed on discounts to increase sales, especially in the national energy subsidies pull, started early in July from 6 at the end of Shanghai’s auto sales pace in the rapidly warming. Lower total small-displacement cars, energy saving car dealer sales boom this wave of the main beneficiaries.
