In addition to Toyota and Martha cerrutti Suzuki , India Tata automobiles, Korea modern automobile, United States General Motors Renault France and cars have showcased their electric or hybrid electric vehicle models.
In the face of the race each other, cheqi industry believes that India market actually electric or hybrid cars not cold, these can be thankless cheqi. If you want to allow India to start these new consumers energy Green cars, the ideal would be a few more years. The following client cheqi and industry analysts ' point of view.
Parties commented:
India market has not prepared. This infrastructure is the greatest obstacle.
--Hyundai Motor India market Director Arvind Saxena
India consumer price sensitivity is far more than other countries consumers. Electric vehicle prices certainly higher than ordinary fuel car prices, its battery prices half of the overall price, this is India consumers is incredible. In my estimation, the Toyota Prius in India market priced 4 million consumers in India, for most, this is a myth.
Electric Scooter and motorcycle is a few years ago began to spread slowly in India. 2009, India's largest producer of two-wheel Motor electric vehicle Co. and TVS Electrotherm India Ltd. 's sales for the 12,000, 2008 over the same period dropped 22,000 compared to almost half. Use cost and battery replacement costs are the main obstacles.
-Automotive consulting company Segment Y Automotive Intelligence Pvt Ltd. Director Paul Blokland.
In India, the little town has a good power supply facilities, also very little family of parking spots are marked with a rechargeable power source. But India frequent power outages, give the normal charging battery is pretty good, let alone electric cars. You can in the India market electric cars, but who will buy?
― The India market's largest motorcycle manufacturer Hero Honda Motors Ltd., Executive Director, Pawan Munjal
In sum, the charging facilities and price is the India market for electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles the greatest obstacle to universal access.

CRI news compared to previous years, this year's Detroit Auto show fewer copies of glitz, but many a detail display. 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. GM and Ford have hope in the next ten years with small cars for their own profit.
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.

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) . You can expect this year, the world's largest automobile company in the field of small cars with unprecedented competition. (Yi Hai)
