March, Japan automobile market increase in new car sales of spring-3%





With approach of spring footsteps, March, Japan Automobile sales school "Spring". Sales rose to become the country's overall characteristics of the automotive market, and car sales year-over-year increase.

According to the Japan Automobile Dealers Association, April 1, statistics, 3-month new car in Japan (excluding mini cars) sales for 443298 units, an increase of $ 37.2%. This is the country's automobile sales in the first 8 months of continuous growth.

According to statistics, March Japan mini car (engine displacement 0.66L) sales of 231196 vehicles, an increase of 3.7%, for the third consecutive month of growth.

In accordance with automobile brand classification, Toyota ( is not included brand Lexus) continues to be Japan, sales of automotive market incumbent champion, total sales 204514 cars, sales volume increased 50.7%, close to the month in Japan the new cars (excluding mini cars) half of the sales.

Imported car sales, Japan imports March car sales up 9.8 percent for 25492, continuous 5 months to achieve growth. , Including , public Benz , BMW , Audi , imported car brand sales year-over-year increase of 12.8% to $ 23494. Public (not including its sub brand), Japan sales in imported car brand in the win every time, for 6252 units, an increase of 17.7%.

Sales from the rally is gratifying, Japan automobile market has started to seem to emerge from the shadow of the financial crisis. However, the Japan automobile sector market prospects still reveals a deep concern.

It is understood that for fiscal 2009 Japan car sales rise biggest contribution is the Government buying green vehicle implementation of tax cuts and purchase subsidy policies. The policy will end in September this year, 10 months after the automobile market can maintain it's growth to the Japan industry left a lot of suspense.

Ribenqichegongyexiehui March 18, published a report on the FY 2010 Japan Automobile sales prospects are not encouraging. The report noted that the Government purchase subsidy policy after 2010 ~ 2011 March the significant drop in auto sales.

3, Japan automobile market has three highlights of King, of course, belongs to the Toyota hybrid cars Prius (Gallery Forum) ; kill out of "dark horse" is a newly launched hybrid cars ― ― ― CR-Z Honda; through price positioning, revealing the future of dominating the intent is Nissan green leaves. These three cars are new energy vehicles.

With the burst of the bubble economy, Japan automobile market in 1990, after reaching its peak downturn. However, hybrid vehicle's marketing and promotion of electric vehicles is reflected in the auto market advantage and hope. In my opinion, this is also different from other developed countries Japan automobile market.

Prius sit champion

This year, declared in the global implementation of large-scale recall, the United States Congress held hearings, Toyota chapter men to consumers an apology, companies face criminal investigations and penalties, and a series of news reports on the Toyota air waves. Many industry insiders worry that recall the aftermath of the events will impact the Toyota sales in the global market. At least now, the Japan Automobile manufacturers in the domestic market continues to favour.

Japan Automobile Dealers Association's statistics show that the Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle sales for the 3 month in the local community, not only 35546 far higher than 2 month 27008 and 11 months in a row, a single type of monthly sales champion. Association spokesman said: "recall events seem to have no impact on Japan market demand for the Prius. ”

As far as I know, part of the Toyota Prius models announced the recall, only a very small number of Japan consumers cancel the order. Currently, the models presented in Japan the supply status, order a Prius consumers need to wait 3 months before pick-up.

In addition, the Prius to 277485 sales reach for fiscal 2009 Japan Champion models. Toyota's car while creating a record ― the first hybrid cars become Japan market annual Champion single models.

Honda CR-Z popular

26 February, Honda in Japan market price of approximately $ 16 million to 18 million yuan of sports hybrid vehicle CR-Z. The company plans to pass the car, driving pleasure and energy-saving emission reduction of eye on Zimmermann.

At that time, Honda's sales target is 1 month. However, the company announced that as of 24 March, the number of orders CR-Z has been exceeded 1 million units, exceeding the monthly sales goal of 10 times.

Market performance beyond CR-Z Honda expected, this also implies a necessity. As last year, the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight-style market, hybrid vehicle appearance will become the mainstream car market in Japan. Market feedback shows that low-cost or the cost of hybrid cars more easily in the Japan market success.

CR-Z's hot prompted more Japan Cheqi in hybrid vehicle market. 29 March, Toyota officially announced , will provide up to Mazda for hybrid electric vehicle technology. Mazda will be 2013 launches hybrid models, the loading of the engine by Mazda independent development, Ni-MH battery, hybrid control system, converters, energy recovery brake system from Toyota parts manufacturer. The two companies is a win-win cooperation, not only can you enable Mazda hybrid vehicle listing as soon as possible, as well as its contribution to Toyota through the expansion of the production, further reducing the cost of hybrid cars.

Nissan green competition

30 March, Nissan released the vehicle leaves the factory price guide. This will be in December this year listed on the EV at 376 million yen (about 28 million). According to the present Japan domestic consumers to purchase electric car, green leaves of grants standard consumer-oriented is the actual price is 299 million yen (approximately 22 million RMB). Industry in Japan, the price of 300 million yen is considered as electric vehicle achieving one of the basic conditions.

The prices are published at the same time, Nissan is also based on the Japan current average automobile prices, , oil prices fuel consumption, price, etc., will be the green leaves and the same level, with the performance cost of using gasoline vehicle individually. Monthly traffic 1000 km, age 6 years, the green leaves of the purchase price plus the fee for the use of 307.6 million yen, and the level of the cost of gasoline vehicle was 311 million yen. This in part explains, in the Japan market, electric vehicles from price point can fully compete with gasoline vehicles. For ordinary consumers, this is perhaps the slogan than environmental protection and energy saving, the more practical and easier to persuade them to heart.

In the Nissan announced the green leaf price second day Mitsubishi , cars will be already listed on the EV i-MiEV price reduced 61.9 million yen, the car after enjoying Government subsidies for actual prices to 284 million yen.

Japan-country automotive analysts believe that green is not listed, but as the publication of its prices, the Japan market in electric vehicle price war has started prematurely. This competition will make electric cars prices more easily accept ordinary consumers, accelerated its popularity.

At the same time, Japan is vigorously promoting fast charge station, and other supporting facilities of the building, plus the Government's focus on energy conservation and development of traditional, electric vehicles in Japan's popularity may be far ahead of other markets. (Chang Cheng)

Jaguar brand story 75 anniversary cosmedia luxury





Any one proud to trend top classic brand has its profound cultural heritage and adhere to constantly challenge traditional quality. Jaguar is exactly that, the world's top luxury brand in the luxury automotive sector continually bring to the world leading luxury experience, through the baptism of 75 years in the years to write a narrative which for praise of romances.

Jaguar, inherent dynamic luxury genes

Jaguar's birth process can be traced back to 1922, the North of England by the seaside town of Blackpool, where a name is William Lyons of locomotive enthusiasts in the 21-year-old birthday was caught in a 30-year-old engineer William Walmsley, they just clicked immediately and their determination to stem a career. In 1922, 4 September, they founded the swallows cross-hopper cars company (Swallow Sidecars), is committed to making the era's most rare and luxury product and leaping to high-end industry. This is the predecessor of Jaguar cars.

The 1920s and early 1930s, the company launched the "SS" and the automobile motorcycle across bucket. When new cars SS100 in 1935 the official release of Lyons wanted to replace a more bold's new name. In consultation with the advertising company's suggestion, he will eventually be new name locked into "Jaguar (Jaguar)". Accordingly, SS100 became the world's first Jaguar cars. "Jaguar" is particularly relevant for this appellation, underlines as cats General grace, and Leopard's extraordinary dynamic and agile agility. Lyons has declared: auto "is what we can produce the most viable products", this burning see today still stood the test of time. Since new "Jaguar" brand focus highlight all of the subsequent cars.

Glorious journey, the mountaintops of the King of the track speed

Jaguar's founder William Lyons youth often take part in competitions, and the locomotive as its name Jaguar (PUMA) is the symbol of the surface of the Earth's most violent animal, so the pursuit of speed is Jaguar's nature.

During World War II, the company was involved in the production of aircraft parts of experience improving knowledge on aerodynamics, also enhances design skills. In William Lyons of personally led by several major technical staff, including William Heynes, Walter Hassan, Claude Baily together developed a new engine, and so laid the company become world leaders in the automotive industry. It is named XK, the two-letter combinations also in later decades become speed, taste and status symbol.

In 1945, the SS company Lyons will read today you are familiar with Jaguar car company (Jaguar Car Ltd.), then the company has an extremely great new chassis and exciting XK engine, but haven't had the complete sports car manufacturing. So they decided to take a small amount of production to raise media coverage, and possibly win some competition again. In order to catch up with the auto show in 1948, the responsibility falls on the Lyons, he must be the only two or three months time to design a fit body. XK120 Roadster in this context it has to be born, known as the Jaguar, elegant and refined, and comfort are unmatched. The name of this car that is derived from "bear", it is also worthy to become the world's fastest cars.

1950 Jaguar XK120 dispatched three went to France to participate in the world famous Le Mans 24 hour race on sledge, awareness of Jaguar to produce world-class racing. Then Lyons to pure racing concept make it more XK120C well known name is: C-Type. 1951 three C-Type car finished, participated in the Le Mans race. At that time, people think that Jaguar fleet results are unknown, but by Peter Walker and Peter Whitehead driving C-Type car debut race is made a brilliant record.

In 1954, C-Type upgraded to D-Type, as pure racing, D-Type in full consideration in the design of the aerodynamic performance. Single cross built body and from the aircraft's fuel tank design gives D-Type extremely competitive. Thus it ruled 1954-1957 years of Le Mans race, the creation of three consecutive years of great, Jaguar in the racing sector booming.

1961-launched E-Type let Jaguar realized a major leap forward. And the XK120 in 1948, it perfectly captures the limelight, the pulse of the times. The car can reach 150 miles of the magic/hour of speed, as the most famous of a sports car is the New York Museum of modern art, permanent collections is the history of the automobile industry real landmark models.

In 1956, Lyon

S for automotive sector contributions and was canonized as jazz, but also because of the circuit on suffering from can't find opponents, racing departments also disbanded. However circuit success is why Jaguar sales growth, XK120, XK140 XK150 Roadster are wide and well received.

Great innovation, leading the luxury car market of dynamic elegance

In the early 1960s, Jaguar introduced the Mark II (the predecessor of the XJ6) and the subsequent launch of the XJ series is winning. Perfect XJ become 20 century best Jaguar cars, it provides a new platform strategy for the development of the entire brand.

In 1968, the company launched the XJ6, it is undoubtedly the most elegant saloon Jaguar, then just a listing. In auto start losing individuality, Jaguar remains its distinctive style.

In 1972, 71-year-old Sir William Lyons, Jaguar company retirement has become the world's most watched car company. The XJ12 was his last contribution to Jaguar. Subsequent modification of the XJ series continues, as the XK series, become a timeless classic.
