From various automobile enterprises display models is not difficult to guess the future of the automotive business trends. Which, from General Motors and auto show the Ford models, we can find two automobile enterprises in the next ten years are based on the theme of small cars.

United States automobile industry's new favorite Ford: Ford Motor Company's product research and development department supervisor Derek ・ library Zack (Derrick Kuzak) declared that Ford latest use of global production systems was listed on the new models can be shortened 8 to 14 months. The main trick is Ford's new production system can be used to test new models of cars to reduce by half the number. In this way, the Ford Motor Company to three years, a new vehicle speed to market with new products. At the same time, the new production system operation reduces the engineers ' work, and Ford in meet the consumer demand for more ease.

It is reported that Ford's new global production systems is not a Ford's own research and development, but from Ford partners up to Mazda Motor Company introduced and modify. Ford in Mazda Motor Company's global production systems based on joined the Volvo car company computer projects, allowing the production system is more suitable for Ford's development.

In addition, the Ford Motor Company by consolidating internal automotive research and development teams, reduce the complexity of the operation, in different models on a unified parts change makes the Ford production speeds have increased significantly. For example, the Ford Fiesta cars and the Taurus cars on the seat are changed to the same model, which makes two cars of the seat can be used by the same manufacturer design and delivery.

General Motors: GM's North American District new President Mark ・ Royce (Mark Reuss) declared that General Motors hopes to the latest version of the Chevrolet music compact cars open market employed, and profits.

In the North American market, small car profits is not a simple thing. Small cars are inexpensive, and all major automobile enterprises in selling small car are using discounts and other tools to increase sales and meet current customer on economic fuel performance requirements. Prior to this, GM has been considered, the introduction of small cars will loss.

But the Heraeus claims that General Motors has been appointed the new music estimates the cost, from supplier spend to logistics costs, etc. are done again. Heraeus admit that last year bankruptcy reorganization makes General Motors in structural costs and labor costs fall. General Motors from the United States Government borrowing large loans, making General Motors had to consider the interest payment. Generic companies must be from the sale of every vehicle on profits to support the entire enterprise.

To reduce costs and improve productivity, General Motors and Ford can go hand in hand, and the efficiency of the famous automobile companies and Japan Korea automobile company in terms of efficiency, a relatively short. Global small car market competition will become the exception this year. General Motors this flagship brand for new recruits and new Chevrolet music Chevrolet Cruz. Ford Motor Company this year, the main products have new Ford Carnival (Gallery Forum) and new Ford Fox (Gallery Forum) .

As the world's largest automotive manufacturers, Toyota is trying to face defeat in the near future a turnaround after the fight.

In fact, as the world's first automotive export country, Japan's exchange rate turbulence cheqi in 2008, its loss. The production base is moved to North America, in hybrid cars expansion spree avoiding exchange rate fluctuations.

Toyota expressed the hope that the next five years for United States customers with a range of traditional and alternative models of diesel locomotives, including the highly successful in Toyota's third generation Prius models, 2015 launch rechargeable hybrid cars, electric vehicles and fuel cell hybrid vehicle.

Toyota original plan in 2010, so that hybrid cars by annual shipments reach 1 million units, with North American expansion, this goal seems to be in a stone's throw away.

Relative to the Toyota can be plugged in new energy vehicle availability, other manufacturers to be radical. Of these, from China announced that BYD to E6 electric car will be inserted in the second half of this year and sold in the United States open.

As with BYD is European producers of radicalism, missed the first round of development of the hybrid cars of strategic opportunity, European producers seem to be completely disillusioned from diesel strategy. Mass , Audi , Volvo , BMW have launched a new product, they either use pure electric, either use plug electric technology.

With 800 million vehicle gets in Tokyo why?

2011-05-02T09:30:00.009-07:00

In early December of last year, the reporter should Japan Ministry of inviting, with China media delegation visiting Japan. This activity is the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs "2009 promotion of Chinese and Asian news media communication and strategy of the reciprocal relationship between the present and future" activities. Total including Hong Kong Pao, the Beijing News, yangcheng evening news and the Chongqing evening news "and other home media participation in 8.

Interview exchange involving Japan-China relations policy, food safety, waste sorting, married, one child policy, intellectual property protection, rainwater and disability policy, etc. Which can give lessons or inspiration to Chongqing, press summary statement to choose, to extend the Chongqing, for "he mountain jade stone".

"Hey, traffic jam!" Chongqing people, almost every day suffering from traffic jam.

9 a.m. rush period Tokyo street to traffic.

Journalist in Tokyo, daily shuttle to the individual blocks, it is difficult to encounter a traffic jam. Tokyo Highway not wide, much narrower than that of Chongqing. Each time you travel, the organizers arranged a very compact, as from 9: 00 interview Tokyo Chamber, 10: 30 interviews of Waseda University. This gives a press fairly wondering: can arrive? results every time.

Tokyo is a city with 13 million population, 800 million motor vehicles of the metropolis, tenure is several times more than in Chongqing, but why not plug?

Development of rail transport

Travel preferred Metro tourism open private car

Kobe's bright Lantern Festival

Reporter's experience and investigation, first, Tokyo has developed subway transportation. According to Tokyo Metro company, since 1927 Ueno-Asakusa opening paragraph, the Corporation has grown to 5 large arteries total , operational mileage (Gallery Forum) located 292 km 214 stations daily capacity of 800 000. Tokyo Office, regardless of the public, the Metro travel preferred. Every morning, Tidewater Office orderly in subway mouth into emission, become a major landscape.

Secondly, almost no one self-driving car to work. In Tokyo, road vehicles, taxis, tourist bus, truck or food truck. Looked around Tokyo urban and rural areas, all of the House are full of private cars. The Japanese master told reporters that Japan nationals are known national petroleum resources shortage, so restrained unnecessary cost. "We had the whole city traffic jam 's, now only in tourism, holidays or leisure is the main motor cars, take the subway, it is a low-carbon life!"

Officials is no exception. Before leaving Japan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shinjuku has a going-away, was attended by the Secretary of State Secretary and Counsellor Kawamura Tai Long (equivalent to my Secretary, foreign news), the international reporting officer Akamatsu Wu (equivalent to my Foreign Ministry spokesman), administrative officer Okada Sheng (Hu Jintao to visit Japan time Party Chief translation). Feast, officials are each take the subway home.

Watching them leave back, suddenly aware that reporters such a big city such a narrow space, traffic is so smooth that covers Tokyo City vehicle density, and Chongqing streets late at night. People can also!

Extension of Chongqing: self city purposes on after hours, the major traffic arteries of the traffic jam or a slow down, but doesn't solve the rush hour traffic flow of contradictions, particularly yuao and yellow garden bridge, hourly flow 1.5 million, is the design value of the number of times. Although the traffic management Department is working on single or double number limit line programme, but also to 1 or only solvable urgency; look for the bus or private car, almost 95% of all single cycle. It is the root cause of the problem, should speed up the development of rail transport, and energy-saving emission reduction and to fundamentally solve the traffic jam of stubborn.

Fix parking difficult

Street only a short stop residential building parking platform between

To solve the parking difficult, Tokyo street side has many parking lot, usually three or four layers, can stop a few hundred vehicles; void between the houses, built steel parking station, you can stop a few vehicles to tens, so road (including branch road) no mess out misplaces vehicles. Journalists travelling in a bus stop in Tokyo street, have a special identity that is less than 1 hour.

Residential areas as long as there are clearance Department built parking station

In addition to good hardware facilities, quality of Japan motorists are commendable. In Chongqing, the public through the crossing, even walk along the zebra crossings, motor also does not make people and quickly; the most bustling Ginza in Tokyo or Shinjuku, the reporter had customarily Zebra is the car ahead, but the drivers often take the initiative to stop that. The master informed, "Japan traffic enforcement pedestrian priority principle, regardless of whether you pass the main road, or a small fork in the road, as long as a show of hands, the bus will stop you. ”

In the interview of Tokyo, Kobe, Tokushima, see Police directing traffic at intersections, hear the sound of the Horn, never seen auto Flash pushed in front. It should be said that the people of Japan is a rule of life, when adhering to the rules as a socio-cultural, natural and smooth traffic to achieve a harmonious.

Extension: Chongqing, Chongqing automobile surge in recent years, increasingly obstructing blocking the streets. Car parking is difficult, more difficult. Can be predicted that the city will also be a substantial increase in motor vehicles, and nowadays city has more than 100 vehicles Mo million units, vehicles and contradictions have exceptions, if half of the increase to Tokyo ― 400 million units, the entire highway or will become a huge parking lot. Should plan ahead!

Kobe earthquake Museum not forget once disaster

In 1995, Jan 17, morning of the Kobe earthquake, the scale of Leeb 7.3, 6500 people died. "As many houses as Kobe, wood structures of houses, so direct died in the earthquake not many people, but the fire caused by the earthquake, has claimed many lives. "The master said.

Journalists came to Kobe, is winter. The night, the streets of Ginkgo biloba leaves, yellow like the large snow fall. To cherish the earthquake victims, each year, the Kobe is in the East Garden-Cho, a 25-day lit Lantern Festival. Night, written specifically for the commemoration of the erection of various coloured bright as daylight, hundreds of thousands of people came from across the country, in the Mozart Requiem in roaming the dead sea, visit the lamp.

The Memorial is the most ambitious ceiling design: it is a block of glass, the above storage one pond of clear water, water bubbling, like tears. Ask the Lord: "that's the moral people sad tears?" answer: "no, because the big earthquake in a lot of people were burned to death under the ruins. Their thirst, architect designed the water, and let their soul to get water to moisten and comfort. ”

Extension of Chongqing: Kobe earthquake is a natural disaster, Chongqing heavy bombing is a man-made disaster. Not to forget once disaster, is a form of the original meaning of remembrance. In Chongqing hundreds of war memorial site, our forms are not available, the content is tedious, for instance, the big crossing track jiaochangkou massacre site, the form of surviving, but of the Museum.

In order to forget the past, Chongqing's monuments, but also the Tim?

Reporter: e-class models to date is not a homogeneous? back will have other models?

Weber: with the new e-class cabriolet's first episode, we put the e-class all the family members have been introduced. Current e-class cars family members including the E-class, e-class Coupé car, travel, and today released the latest version of the Roadster. The next e-class sedan more focus, that is, in Chinese-made version.

Reporter: now the Chinese market in addition to electric cars, from since last year, including public Audi introduced some diesel vehicles. Early this year and force pushed diesel Audi TDI V6, Benz probably when will China launched diesel engine?

Weber: I think diesel cars in the future in China is very market development prospects. Benz also from relevant departments to understand the diesel version models in China's technical requirements and other issues, the two sides are very willing to jointly promote the development of diesel vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz has a very mature of diesel engine technology and product, now powered by diesel technology products, including SUV and other very much. At present we are observing the market including the oil and other conditions are ripe for the introduction of diesel products.

Mercedes-Benz design sculpture

Reporter: this year will not be the electric version of the Smart into China?

Weber

Kohler: B-class fuel cell car is now a small batch production, about 300 vehicles. First car has been delivered to Germany for a customer, for every day used, mileage (Gallery Forum) can reach 400 km, zero emissions, no competition on the market today.

This car is currently take the form of leasing. Having regard to the comparison of new technology, in addition to the security issues ― the car maintenance need professionals to do it, the car with the high-voltage battery are specially trained people. So now these maintenance, high-voltage battery maintenance work has to be done by our professional repair shop to do it.

Journalists: please you to estimate for the next five years to 10 years in the Mercedes-Benz products, regardless of the fuel cell or pure electric vehicles such products account for?

Kohler: the next five to 10 years, according to current trends, the introduction of new energy vehicles will account for approximately to the entire Benz family models of 5% to 10%. I think this should be a high proportion, because the market will be soon, also from now on, the next five to 10 years, consumer expectations for car is kind, customer for new car demand. If the market and customer demand increases in this area, you may have this type of car would sell a lot, so much of the production cost is lower; if the amount is small, the cost is certainly drop down, these are all we have to face some very real problem.

People on new energy cars of acceptance, such as electric power for 70kW feeling and to feel 70kW internal combustion engine is completely different, therefore the understanding and acceptance of electric vehicles, will affect the future development of new energy cars.

Reporter: there are no plans and mcg other brand cooperation for the development of new energy?

Weber: for cooperation, we have a very open mind. As long as there is a suitable partner, in some appropriate products and projects, we are very happy to cooperate with them. On the other hand, because the Benz itself in product research and development technical team strength is very strong, so we are currently in the research and development have made a lot of results. Whether electric car, hybrid car or a fuel cell car, our research and development team has a very strong strength.

In lower cost areas, we may be more consideration to different vendors or third parties, for example we've talked to BMW as well as other manufacturers consultations, in some parts, one part or integration components, etc; also by a third party to supply for our car battery. Maybe in the near future, we may cooperate with Chinese manufacturers.

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.

Japan automotive market on Detroit, is still a difficult to profit. 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

According to the statistics of the United States now automobile market in 2010, the situation is not very good, including the Detroit three vehicle manufacturer with a variety of organisations are of the view that the 2010 sales United States automobile market in 1100 million to 12 million vehicles. The European automobile manufacturers organization forecasts, the EU 27 Member States and their free trade agreement countries motor vehicle sales in 2009 1448.15 million units in 2010 will be about 150 million reduction.

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.

Toyota crisis comes from behind the crisis management system

2011-04-22T09:30:00.009-07:00

The current spate of recall event is not Toyota automotive technology and a symbol of quality deterioration, however exposed it is an urgent need to resolve the problem: after successful implementation of global expansion and how to implement their own traditional management philosophy and penetration of existing quality management system and establish a unified crisis management system.

Hailed as "the world's most powerful" Toyota, not only is the quality of big Japan pride of global enterprises. Toyota is synonymous with good sound, the production technology and quality management in the manufacturing industry are featured. After the 1990s, Japan economic long-term stagnation, many outstanding Japanese global market presence continues to recede, but Toyota has dominated the development and growth as the world's largest automobile manufacturer.

With United States University of Michigan Professor Jeffrey ・ Lake, he tracks and on Toyota cars more than 25 years, did not find that this enterprise in technology capabilities and business ethics, evidence of any deterioration. However this massive recall events indeed due to Toyota's North American factories use brake plate parts, those parts are designed with Japan domestic use of Denso products are different. The problem seems to be out here, Toyota rapidly expanding global markets, had to give up to Japan as a center of totalitarian management.

In this process, as Toyota management culture most important genes "on any slight danger signals from and to continuous improvement," the concept is not valid to be implemented and integrated into other areas of the factory. The management took advantage of around the United States, the three giants forces recession continues to snatch the market share and lower costs, Toyota while achieving a world of dreams, but because of some minor quality management blunders, will soon face serious crisis of confidence.

Recall events exposed by the more serious problem is the lack of effective global manufacturers of crisis management system. As early as last fall of Toyota Motor North America market began to have problems, according to Toyota's tradition, this is enough to cause guard of Japan. In January of this year, in the absence of a clear description of the reason for the massive recall announced and stop the production. This seriously hurt the feelings of consumers, the long-established "secure instantaneous Toyota" image, has become greatly reduced so that consumers are scared of Toyota "". Company heads out to the media to explain officially has entered the 2 month later. This slow corresponds not only provide consumers with even more of a variety of media with a play space, accelerates on Toyota's criticism of public opinion.

Then, the energy-saving automobile brake problems are Prius exposure, Japan by this press release is also touches that however is instantaneous human illusion, changed the software will be corrected, some they start thinking that it will not need to be amended, since it is not a quality problem, let alone an apology to the consumer. This attitude once again diminished consumer confidence to Toyota. In fact, United States in the same period Ford vehicle energy-saving car also has the same brake failed, but because it corresponds to the whole body but rather quickly. While Toyota event has risen to beauty day (Gallery Forum) two competing Foreign Affairs officials.

In Japan, due to the purchase of Prius can receive government subsidies, in 2009, raised a lot of consumers a long line waiting for the turn of the car, now some salespeople had to face the cold eye of consumers. Many stock researcher complained Toyota neglect investor relations work, this event seems to Toyota aren't fit. According to some researchers estimate that Toyota because this recall event will yield approximately 30 million units, this will affect Japan nominal GDP about 0.12 percentage.

Toyota in Japan made an example of the global manufacturing industry, but in the world after the early became a negative example. Best enterprise is unable to produce the perfect product, but to follow a minimum of social responsibility is an essential obligation, so once you have a problem, the corresponding capacity of enterprises will be subject to severe test. Good crisis management system and is also becoming an indispensable outstanding enterprises.

We all know, compression can be accompanied by a decline in the quality of products, while Toyota is there to customer security over economic interests before they let people cannot help but wonder.

Japan Foreign Minister Okada g 19 February said: "hope Toyota as soon as possible to win back customers worldwide trust", although this is Toyota's own things, but "it might turn into a State of things", Japan Government will do its utmost to support the Toyota.
