Japan automobile market: 2009 decreased significantly low open low walk 2010





Japan finally compromised to Detroit.

2010-1-20, Japan Government eventually agreed that the United States automobile into their implementation of trade-in program. According to this plan, as long as the United States largest automobile company exports to Japan by car can reach Japan provided 2010 emission standards, Japan consumers buy these products will be around us $ 2752 subsidies.

In Michigan, it seems that Mr Stabenow, Japan Government this approach is consistent with the interests of both sides, and finally reach a win-win situation.

And Detroit three car manufacturers in Japan compared to obtain preferential policy, Japan-us Alliance is also in this period ushered in the 50 anniversary. But because of the political and military reasons, they did not coordinate between is still in the State. Therefore, the Japan economic news "in its editorial in the" cold "to describe the relationship between them. Therefore, part of Detroit's victory let people see the United States. "At this time, Japan has finally bowed to the US," a Senator in media interviews, he said.

However, the real figures have a different interpretation. In can enjoy stimulating policy models, Detroit is no Japan Automobile as active. Now , only of Ford Escape , generic Cadillac CTS Chrysler as well as 's Grand Voyager can enjoy the benefits. Their total sales in the 700 or so. And that figure compared to that in the United States Government trade-in , , Toyota Honda , Nissan , Japan Automobile manufacturers in the United States sold 31.93 million cars. Near the 50 per cent of the total sales volume. Therefore, the United States this move symbolic significance to much larger than the actual economic interests.

Here, the United States largest car manufacturers of the product better than nothing. 2009 Ford sales in Japan has reached the highest level of Detroit, sales for the travelling 3049; Cadillac sales for the travelling 1017; Chevrolet sales for the 748 ; Dodge Chrysler 's sales for the 1267 vehicles. If Europe's vehicle sales in Japan by manufacturer, Japan imported car sales for 17.85 million units. And Europe, North America and Asia, and the market situation, Japan still a relatively closed market.

In the face of the Japan market, the United States the Automotive News ' James ・ Charteris gives solutions, on the one hand, should encourage the purchase of United States goods, on the one hand, requirements for Japan, opening up the domestic market. These measures may not be feasible, for the purposes of the United States automobile, apparently favourable measures, which can help Detroit to sell more cars, which can be changed to the Japan of pressure. After all, Japan's largest automobile market in the United States.

  Decrease in 2009

79.47 million units. Since encountering recall crisis, Mitsubishi Motors in recent years has been in this State. Global credit crisis, a Mitsubishi Motors to reverse the declining popularity of the key. Although Mitsubishi each year seek ways out, but consumer market reaction does not do as it wishes.

Sales, Toyota Motor Group's sales dropped by 7.3% of sales for 199.62 million units. Among them, Toyota declined 6.4% of sales for 137.55 million units; Dafa sales volume decreased by 7.2% to 59.62 million units; Hino sales fell 39.9% to 2.44 million units.

Specifically, in the European market, Hyundai Motor's performance is much better than the Toyota. In 2009, Toyota Motor Europe's market share reduced 4.7% to 5%. Among them, Toyota brand sales decline 3.8%, sales for 71.04 million; Lexus brand sales decline 27.5%, sales for 2.05 million units. European car manufacturer organizations believe that by 2010, Toyota Motor Europe's performance will not be too great a difference.

In contrast , modern and vehicles KIA became one of the two points. Of these, Hyundai Motor's sales 34.18 million units, an increase of 26.6%; KIA car sales up 5.8 percent, sales for 25.24 million units.

Industry insiders said that excessive expansion at the expense of quality of Toyota is suffering a severe credibility crisis, and if not for effective public relations crisis, it is possible to make global sales first Crown. Japan media even worried that this event will destroy the "Japan" of this flagship manufacturing.

Because the accelerator pedal for security breaches, Toyota United States sales company 26, declare a moratorium on the sale of 8 models, temporarily turn off part of the production line. Previous 21, Toyota has recalled 230 million units sold in the United States market of multiple-car, these types of integrated sales accounted for Toyota 2009 United States market 56% of total sales. Cut off the face of Toyota in United States sales decline, staff salaries and idle assets.

This large-scale recall events inflicted heavy losses on the stock price of Toyota Motor Corporation. Last week, the company's stock fell 5, even within a week of cumulative decline of 15%, the market value of the evaporation 25 billion. At the same time, the rating agency also place it on negative watch list.

Reuters January 29 reported that United States Congress affiliates was collecting Toyota and United States safety supervisory departments of e-mail messages and other instruments, to creating of the Toyota recall events. United States House of representatives energy and Commerce Committee, announced on 28 January, 25 February for Toyota recall events held hearings.

United States consumer reports recently revealed that Toyota's reliability rankings has been placed and Honda Subaru-, from 2006 's first name dropped to third.

The Wall Street Journal published Jeff ・ the Knight of an article that the long-term effects are still difficult to predict, but there is no doubt that the short term there will be a very bad influence, this will give the opponent of Toyota in the United States, , for example General, , Ford Motor Company took advantage of the occupation of auto sales markets.

This "back door" event in the car, and issues related to the gas pedal. According to the common social reports, Latin America and the Middle East, sales of Toyota cars, and in the United States recall of 230 million units of the car, the car of the accelerator pedal by Headquarters is located in Indiana El Hart (Elkhart) car parts supplier CTS (Gallery Forum) production company.

But the nightmare is not terminated but the Toyota and CTS company relations of cooperation. According to Toyota's website on 28 January the throttle pedal vendor CTS released a statement saying, Toyota Motor Engineering and manufacturing North America Inc. (TEMA) is working with the CTS is improved pedal designing cooperate closely, in order to effectively repair and gas pedal-related issues. New design of pedal tested, is fully operational CTS to meet problem vehicle replacement pedals. Toyota North American automobile company purchasing Vice President Chris ・ Nielsen said the "CTS is our long-term important suppliers. ”

Previously have waimei reported that Ford Motor Company found in China, production of full-sized commercial vehicles ( Quan Shun (Gallery Forum) classic-commercial vehicle) of the gas suppliers involved in Toyota Motor Corporation (ToyotaMotorCo.)

But in 2009, Toyota has massive recall cars. According to incomplete statistics, only the first 10 months of the year, Toyota has nine global recall involving vehicles reached more than 625 million. Plus this recall of 380 million, and the recall of vehicles of more than 10 million vehicles.

The domestic car industry expert comments, Toyota will surpass GM becomes the first in the world, rely on stringent enterprise management and enterprise culture was of excellent product quality. But over the past 3 years, Toyota seems to have strayed from its emphasized caution, on-demand production, the pursuit of competitiveness of the "Toyota way", used to go increasingly being replaced by speculation, the rapid expansion of the product quality has not been processed in a timely manner, do not hesitate to sacrifice quality for capacity expansion, even in the United States market which Fortune cast down big mistake.

Auto analyst guxinguang pointed out that on this complex products, the law will not be possible to require perfect, just asking for a recall by remedy. Even Toyota's "lean management", it is difficult to avoid in the design and production of such a defect is found, the key is in use when the company discovered defects select attitude: conceal or recall. Generally if you recall, it takes a lot of cost

Enterprises may not recall. In quality assurance and benefits in the event of a conflict, many large corporations have no hesitation in choosing the benefit, but once the exposure, corporate image and product brands will suffer heavy losses.

Japan Shimbun said that, while Toyota is said to suspend sales to completely solve the product defect, but this approach may increase consumer concerns. Suspension of the period, the customer may migrate to other automakers, causing serious source of wastage. Some even predicted that the United States automobile giants will took the opportunity to stage a comeback, Toyota may be forced to "give way".

Japan Shimbun also not without fear, distrust of the Toyota may even undermine the overall reputation of the manufacturing industry in Japan. According to the common social 31 January reported that Toyota recall the incident, the United States domestic Japanese automobile criticism and distrust has more and more.
