As the new energy vehicles in future automotive market of strategic importance, even if not a high profit return, the automakers are also whole-heartedly. But the new car’s price is too high energy, the market outlook is still very difficult to predict

The NDRC released “vehicle manufacturers and the products (approved 164)” Notice No. 29 of 2008, the surprised there 7 products of new energy vehicles, including hybrid cars FAW Group, Shanghai GM Buick hybrid cars, fuel cell cars of Shanghai Volkswagen Passat, Foton Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Bus, FAW hybrid electric city bus, hybrid bus in Chongqing Changan and Dongfeng Motor hybrid electric city bus.

Strategic importance This is the first large national Development and Reform Commission approved the production of new energy vehicles. Academy of Social Sciences Institute of Industrial Economics Zhao Ying told, “First Financial Daily” said an interview, indicating that the current field of new energy vehicles in China, especially the hybrid side has made good preparation before industrialization. “This is an international trend.” Jia Xinguang

famous car critics said that the past is not so much new energy vehicles business, companies now have a product of, and along with rising oil prices and energy shortages, companies hope to launch more new energy cars. “This is the first Development and Reform Commission approved a new energy vehicles are so many reasons.”

Currently on the market Pin Sale of new energy vehicles to Toyota Prius (parameter configuration Gallery) and represented by Guangzhou Honda Civic, but due to high prices, since the market has been subjected to market cold-shouldered.

According to Understanding, Toyota Prius through a price adjustment, the market guide prices are still 259,800 ~ 279,800 yuan in the high range. Since January 2006 on the market, Toyota Prius sales in the Chinese market less than two thousand five hundred.

Even so, the new energy vehicles in future automotive market of strategic importance, even if not a high profit return, the automakers are also whole-heartedly. Tenth in the just-concluded Beijing International Auto Show, is not only a technical joint venture brand pushing new energy vehicles, own brand, refused to show the field of new energy vehicles in the R & D results.

Analysis, according to Jia Xinguang, Toyota Prius, despite poor sales in the Chinese market, but the world has been the most successful hybrid car, can not afford the price of Chinese consumers also have the name on the early Prius have heard of. “And the first Prius hybrid cars into China, as the market benchmark, Toyota hybrid have been obtained in the absolute standards of right to speak.” This is why the insisted Toyota Prius in China to promote the cause.

High prices Earlier, the state of new energy vehicles, and there is no policy guidance and support, only the State Development and Reform Commission in October 2007 issued a “new energy vehicles production access rules”, the paper provides a new energy vehicles, including hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles (BEV, including solar car), fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), hydrogen engine vehicles, other new energy sources (such as high energy storage devices, dimethyl ether) and automobile.

But how the manner in which new energy vehicles first, the car manufacturers and there is no uniform opinion, and are focused on the debate in their respective technologies into battle. The State Development and Reform Commission approved hybrid production focus, the development of new energy vehicles also have some guidance.

Zhao Ying said, from the announcement of view, the approval of the majority of new energy vehicles are hybrid, “This shows that the country has officially recognized the production of hybrid cars, but hybrid technology is relatively mature, is the current international trend. in the future there will be more and more new energy automotive products NDRC notice board.

Profile of SGL Carbon Fibers and Composites

SGL Group is a specialist in carbon fibres and composites based in Germany with sales in 2009 of Euro1,226 mn (US$1,708 mn). The company’s operations are grouped into three business areas, namely Performance Products (PP), Graphite Materials & Systems (GMS), and Carbon Fibers and Composites (CFC). The CFC unit—which is in turn divided into Carbon Fibers and Composite Materials, and Composite Components—accounted for 17% of total group sales in 2009. In the past few years, SGL Group has taken steps to strengthen its position in the aerospace, wind energy and automotive sectors by acquiring a majority stake in Abeking & Rasmussen Rotec and forming partnerships with Denel Saab Aerostructures, Bard Emden Energy, Benteler, and BMW. Also, its acquisition of Abeking & Rasmussen Rotec has forward-integrated the group into rotor blade production, and established it as the sole European manufacturer of integrated carbon fibres and composites for the wind energy sector. ( http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=145698&rt=Profile-of-SGL-Carbon-Fibers-and-Composites.html )

In fibres, the group is on course to take advantage of the growing substitution of basic materials such as steel and aluminium with components made from carbon fibre by doubling its carbon fibre production capacity by 2012. Its carbon fibres are sold under various brand names. Panox is an oxidised, thermally stabilised polyacrylonitrile (PAN) flame resistant fibre. Sigrafil C is a heavy tow carbon fibre derived from a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor. And Sigrafil T is a partially carbonised polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibre which is used as an asbestos replacement. The company also sells textiles under various brand names, including Sigratex woven fabrics and tapes, unidirectional reinforcement materials, multiaxial fabrics and nonwovens, and Udo unidirectional and multiaxial reinforcement materials.

In 2009 SGL Group registered its first net loss since 2003 as temporary surplus capacity in the carbon fibre market put pressure on prices and margins and made it impossible for it to achieve its sales targets. The excess capacity was caused partly by delays in major projects in the aerospace and wind energy sectors as a result of the global financial crisis. Looking ahead, the CFC business requires a lot of investment and it is likely to be some time until demand returns to pre-crisis levels. However, it continued in 2009 to secure additional orders and turned a loss in the previous year into an operating profit. Bearing in mind the growth expected in wind energy and the growing use of carbon fibre components in the aerospace and automotive sectors, the long-term prospects for this business remain positive.

Seating Systems Report

Posted in July 30th, 2010

Bharatbook added a new report on “Seating Systems Report” which gives overview of Seating Systems market.
 
 Seating Systems Report
 
 This new report takes an in-depth look at the global seating market including the key changes currently underway in the industry and what the future holds for this key sector. The report considers in-house seat manufacture and supply chain developments along with advances in safety, comfort and convenience. An inside industry view is provided by an interview with Johnson Controls and the study also considers trends in seat comfort and material developments in foam, plastics and metal structures. This research is complemented by case studies, along with profiles of all the major industry players. ( http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=145739&rt=Seating-Systems-Report.html )
 
 Background to this Research
 
 The global seating market is clearly led at the tier 1 level by two US companies, JCI and Lear; Faurecia, which is the second ranked supplier in Europe, is much smaller than the two larger players on a global basis. Lear and JCI are also very strong in China owing to their having been early entrants into this market, following General Motors and Volkswagen there in the early days of Chinese market development.
 
 The individual pictures for the major regions show how Faurecia, JCI, Magna and Faurecia have over two-thirds of the North American and European markets; by contrast the data for Japan/Korea shows how these regions are supplied almost entirely by Japanese/Korean companies.
 
 The Japanese supplier Toyota Boshoku is ranked fourth globally owing to its presence in North America and a rapid rise in its business in China in recent years. JCI is unique among the European/North American companies in having a significant presence in Japan; this is a result of its acquisition of the Ikeda seat company some years ago.
