In Feb. 2009, Chinese government issued Revitalization of Chinese Automobile Industry, pointing out the aims to produce 0.5 million pure electric power automobiles, plug-in hybrids and normal hybrids in three years, accounting for 5% market share in automobile market. It was also stipulated that all Chinese domestic automobile manufacturers must have the certified automobile products of new energy and energy alternatives. The development focuses of Chinese new energy automobile industry are pure electric automobiles, plug-in hybrids, special engines, power modules, driver components and optimal design etc.

Chinese government promises that they will provide finance and tax relief for the new energy automobiles. They will encourage various government departments to use the new energy automobiles. During 2009 to 2011, Chinese government will invest 10 billion Yuan (1.46 billion US Dollars) to support the development of new energy automobiles, technological innovations and the research of special parts.

It is estimated that the sale volumes of new energy automobile will account for 5 to 10% in the whole Chinese automobile sale volumes in 2012.

India’s automotive market with an average of 20 percent annual increase seems a lucrative spot for global automakers. The race to hit this hot spot for car sales still continues. Being the second most populous country in the world, and a promising automotive industry economy, automakers like Renault, Hyundai and other automakers are trooping over to this country to seize success — a success which lies in keeping tag prices low and squeezing margins.

“Not being in India would be a huge strategic mistake,” said Carlos Tavares, Nissan Motor Co. Executive Vice President in a statement for The Associated Press on the sidelines of the Frankfurt auto show.

“It’s an investment for the future.” he added to his statement.

As March ended, India had total car sales of 1.1 million for the year. Compact hatchbacks accounted for three quarters of that volume. Although lesser than China’s car sales volume, it proves to be a fast growing market.

J.D. Power and Associates, predicts that if India will maintain this growth, by 2012, Indian car sales will be doubled to 2 million. For manufacturers with their Indian bases, car production is expected to rise dramatically to 3 million by that time.

“All the car makers know that India is one of the markets offering the best growth potential,” said Pete Kelly, a director at J.D. Power and Associates’ automotive forecasting unit.

India’s consumers demand for inexpensive and fuel-efficient vehicles, with a cabin for five or six passengers and an air-conditioning that will give comfort amidst the heat of the country.

Japanese automakers had already set foot on India’s auto market and expanded their sales and production in India. These companies are Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co., and Suzuki Motor Corp.,

With French automaker Renault SA of France, Nissan entered India this year. The two global car makers signed a passenger car venture with India’s local automaker Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. The group plans to build a plant in Chennai city. Nissan will use the plant to export compact vehicles to the European market.

American based Chrysler LLC (maker of Dodge AC compressor) is not in good financial condition to join this Indian auto market venture together with the global automakers.

Last Tuesday, Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault announced that the construction of the plant will probably start by 2010.

Inspired by Tata Motor’s ambition of the RS 1 Lakh, or the cheapest car, Nissan and Renault is also considering the feasibility to manufacture a car with a tag price of lower than $3,000.

Hyundai’s step in venturing the Indian auto market is by way of the Santro. The Santro is designed with extra head room for turbaned passengers and give extra attention to the rear seats where most Indian passengers occupy said Thomas Rauh, Hyundai Motors spokesperson in his statement for The Associated Press.

“It’s a dogfight down there,” said Rauh.

“It would not help us to go downmarket.” he added.

Rising fuel prices, unstable financial markets and taxation changes with the apparent aim of getting us to use our cars less often (or at least pay more to use them) have been just some of the issues that have affected the automotive industry in the past 12 months. This article looks at what 2008 may hold for the automotive industry and road users in general.

The US economy and the resulting weakness of the dollar looks like it may well contribute to the price of crude oil continuing to rise as investors have been holding the commodity instead of dollars. This means that as the cost of a barrel of crude oil comes close to the $100 figure then so fuel prices have also continued to rise.

So do higher fuel costs mean we are likely to buy or use cars, vans and Lorries less in 2008? Well seemingly not based on a latest poll of motorists. Despite fuel prices increasing at alarming rates a whopping 79 percent of motorists questioned said they had not changed their petrol and fuel buying habits and had no plans to do so. In fact the motorists questioned said petrol prices would have to increase at even more alarming rates to stop them from filling up.

Environmental issues would it seem not be as important as governments throughout the world as over 1 in 3 motorists confirmed they had no plans to replace their vehicles for more environmentally friendly cars before 2010.

And so if motorists are seemingly unaffected by rising fuel costs and are prepared to continue driving despite increased road tax and the impact on the environment surely positive times are ahead for the industry in 2008?

Well before car manufacturers and dealers start doing cartwheels, caution would certainly be advised as whilst General Motors can seen promising performance in emerging markets they have seen big losses in both American and European markets.

And with the world economy in such an uncertain state as 2007 draws to a close 2008 could well see new car sales fall with used car sales increasing. Car sales and indeed sales of all types are also likely to increase via the internet in 2008 so car dealers (new and used) without an internet presence should really be looking at establishing themselves in this emerging marketplace.

And what of the actual motorist, what does 2008 have in store for us? Well how about further increases in vehicle tax, more toll roads, increased congestion charges and still a seeming lack of a viable alternative to road use through reliable, clean and safe public transport.

The good news for some motorists on one front is that whilst the government is seemingly do all they can to penalise the motorist, insurance premiums including car insurance, van insurance and motor trade insurance are pretty stable. In fact with such competition in the insurance industry the cost of insurance like combined motor trade insurance could even fall and savings could be made.

And motor traders who are looking to make savings on their motor trade insurance premiums in 2008 using a specialist insurance broker could well be the route to take to make sure they get the protection they need at a price that is right.
