Carpool: Chinese giants use idled foreign plants to fuel global expansion (SCMP)
|
|
|
Chinese carmakers, saddled with excess capacity and weak demand at home, are taking a new approach to global expansion: utilising idled facilities abandoned by international marques.
By adopting an asset-light strategy, companies from Geely Auto to Great Wall Motor (GWM) can assemble their cars overseas at lower costs, broadening their influence on the global automotive sector, according to analysts.
“Mindful of profitability as well as geopolitical and operating risks, Chinese carmakers are......

Experte: Mindestpreise für E-Autos aus China bringen nichts (DPA-AFX)
|
|
|
Mindestpreise statt Zollaufschläge: Die neue Strategie der EU zu chinesischen Elektroautos droht nach Ansicht eines Experten vollständig ins Leere zu laufen. Die chinesischen Hersteller agierten im europäischen Markt überhaupt nicht mit Dumpingpreisen, argumentiert der Leiter des privaten Instituts Center Automotive Research (CAR), Ferdinand Dudenhöffer.

Zudem würden Investitionen in der EU oder eine Begrenzung der Exporte positiv angerechnet.. --- Aus seiner Sicht versuchten Hersteller wie BYD, MG oder Great Wall, in Europa technologisch Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen, etwa mit großen Reichweiten und praktischen Kleinwagen. Dumping stehe nicht auf dem Programm..

When Great Wall Motor Co. Ltd. set its sights on Brazil, the Chinese carmaker quickly learned that success would depend on more than exports. To better crack Latin America's largest auto market, the company has had to rethink everything from engine technology to after-sales services — and even how Brazilians drive.
“Brazilians love to drive fast, and they prefer small cars,” Zhang Gengshen, president of Great Wall Motor's Brazilian and Mexican operations, said in an interview with Caixin in early December. “The massive sugarcane industry has led to the wide use of biofuels in Brazil, where many cars run on ethanol. These usage habits are completely different from those in China.”
Zhang's observations come at a pivotal moment for China's auto industry. As trade tensions with the U.S. and Europe intensify, Chinese carmakers are pivoting aggressively to countries in the Global South. Brazil, the world's sixth-largest auto market with annual new car sales of more than 2 million units, has becom...
