本协议是 北京Porsche ups its support for rural education******China Daily - Porsche plans to expand its partnership with the UN Children's Education Fund to fund education in rural China after three years of successful cooperation on an earlier project, company executives said.
The belief that knowledge and education are the keys to a brighter future underpins the company's partnership with the fund, said the Chief Executive Officer of China operations for the German luxury brand Helmut Broeker.
This year, the company is tailoring the support it offers for different age groups of Chinese youth.
"We hope that those youth of different ages in rural communities could all have the chance to realize their potential regardless of where or how they live," Broeker said.
UNICEF and Porsche are opening new frontiers for cooperation as a follow-up to their three-year partnership on the METRU project, which is short for Mobile Educational Training and Resource Units.
"We start an integrated set of interventions for children from birth to three years old in some of China's poorest and most difficult-to-reach counties under a project named Integrated Early Childhood Development, or IECD for short," said Broeker.
"The new project not only concerns the newborn child's physical condition but also pays attention to their mental growth."
UNICEF and Porsche together are supporting this process for China's most underprivileged children. Porsche plans to make a donation of four Cayenne SUVs and contribute a total of 23 million yuan (.68 million) for a three-year period for the IECD program.
"This year we will start working with very young children following the huge volume of evidence which tells us that the youngest children need integrated care, nutrition, support, stimulation, protection and specialized learning and development opportunities," said Tim Sutton, deputy representative of UNICEF China.
"And they need this in an integrated fashion, in all spheres of life if they are to grow and bloom to their full potential."
Broeker said that at the same time, their work in supporting teachers in primary schools through METRU also continues.
"With our support to ambitious art students in the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute through our 'Empowering the Future' Art Contest, which has been held for the third year, we can provide overall support to young Chinese people of every age," said Broeker.
Since 2009, Porsche has partnered with UNICEF on METRU in addition to the recently launched IECD, which are all part of the "Empowering the Future" initiative, the cornerstone of the brand's corporate social responsibility program within the country.
METRU has donated more than 15 million yuan to provide better care and improve the welfare of children in rural areas and facilitate the transportation of essential supplies for their health and education.
For example, the six Porsche Cayenne SUVs donated to METRU in Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan provinces are specially modified to overcome the rough terrain that has long prevented these areas from receiving regular aid and support in the past.
By the end of September, UNICEF and Porsche had delivered training, qualified instructors and resources to 8,189 teachers and 131,804 students across 441 schools in Sichuan and Gansu provinces. They also began reaching out to more than 2,000 teachers and more than 40,000 students across 86 schools in Yunnan province.
"We concentrated and will continue to concentrate our efforts on the western regions because we already see a mature educational environment for young people in eastern coastal areas," said Broeker. "Porsche's projects are going to more surrounding regions, from Yunnan province, to Sichuan and Gansu provinces."
"And our IECD program will even reach Shanxi and Guizhou provinces," said Broeker.
Integrated early childhood development
Though Chinese living standards have been improving rapidly in recent years due to a growing economy, many children living in rural and remote regions of China are still in need of urgent support.
According to UNICEF, about 30 million children under age 6 have no opportunity for early education, with no more than half of Chinese aged 3 to 6 in kindergarten or pre-school.
Porsche aims to initially provide comprehensive services, including high-quality psychological care and pre-school education to 8,000 children under age 3 in 160 villages in Shanxi and Guizhou provinces.
And their families will also receive professional guidance with regard to childcare and teaching. Furthermore, pregnant women are also included in the project, allowing them to take a prenatal examination so that the health of their children is being monitored before they are born.
The German executive paid a visit to children and teachers in three schools in Sichuan province in 2010.
"Children's smiles impressed me when our vehicles arrived with books and other equipment. And I was also touched by the very motivated teachers," said Broeker.
"When I left the schools, I saw the areas devastated by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, with villages buried. I felt that we have to commit more to further support the program," he said.
Then in 2011, Broeker sent the company's manager for the southern region to monitor the implementation of the program firsthand, and last month, Porsche's sales director represented the company on a fact-finding mission about the progress of efforts in Gansu province.
"I would like to participate in the IECD project next year to see what kind of activities we have done and identify some areas in which we can provide more support," Broeker said. "We are not merely concerned about being successful in this market. We are also sincere about giving what we can back to the society in which we are operating."
Broeker said that in all of Porsche's charitable initiatives, the brand has always been dedicated to improving the situations of rural youth and raising public awareness of their needs.
"For Porsche, caring for the underprivileged youth of China is more than only a single act of philanthropy. It is a long-term commitment."
"The rainbow, a key component of our program logo, represents hope and a bright future for youth education. We are coloring children's life with a spiritual bridge that connects the heart through real actions and strong emotions from everyone in Porsche," he said.
科技有限公司 (“ BMW to invest 100m euros in China******Kuwait News Agency (Berlin) - BMW Group announced Monday evening that it inked an agreement with the Chinese Brilliance Auto (or Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd) under which the German automaker will invest EUR 100 million in the world's largest car market.The agreement was signed under the joint patronage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, now on a three-day official visit to Germany, spokesperson of the Munich-based Group told reporters here.
The funds will be channeled to the purchase of equipment for an auto manufacturing factory and a center for economic research in China, according to the spokesperson.

”)与 您(“客户”) ,就您使用Government gives Chinese auto brands greater chance******NZweek - With government support, home-grown auto brands will have a good chance to enter an official vehicle market currently dominated by foreign brands, analysts have said.China's official vehicles, or those purchased by government departments for official use, are currently dominated by foreign brands like Volkswagen, Audi, Toyota and Buick.
Premier Li Keqiang said at a Sunday press conference that spending on hospitality, overseas trips for official purposes and purchases of official vehicles will be reduced.
The government has shown its support for indigenous automobile brands in a draft catalog of car models for government procurement released last year.
The catalog, released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in March 2012, included only domestic car models.
"The direction of China’s official vehicle reform is very reasonable," said Li Shufu, chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, a leading automaker.
Li said the government’s policies will bring benefits for the country's indigenous brands.
The Hongqi H7, a luxury car model manufactured by the China FAW Group Corporation, has been ordered by more than 10 provincial government and some central government departments, company president Xu Xianping said.
However, since government procurement only accounts for about 3 percent of China’s auto market, experts believe the procurement is mainly intended to encourage purchases of domestic brands.
"From a long-term perspective, the government’s support for indigenous brands should concentrate more on research and development," said Zhang Peijie, general manager of FAW Car Co., a subsidiary of FAW Group.
To gain the trust of consumers and become competitive in the market, Chinese auto companies must continuously improve their product quality, Zhang said.
测试期产品和服务( “试用”) ,在北京市海淀区签订的协议。为更好保障您的权益,请您在同意本协议之前务必审慎阅读,充分理解本协议的全部内容,特别是免除或限制责任的条款,Minister takes lead in promoting electric vehicles******
Xinhua (Beijing) -Chinese Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang, who has championed the research and development of new engery vehicles for decades, didn't miss a chance to promote the new industry.
During China's annual legislative session, Wan abandoned his official sedan and took a small electric car instead as commuter vehicle.
The silver electric vehicle (EV), with a slogan "zero-pollution, zero-emission" posted on the car body, carried Wan back and forth between the conference venue, his office and the media center.
"Colleagues of the ministry are more willing to take EVs, as every kilometer they travel means a reduction of PM2.5 emission, compared with gas vehicles," Wan told a press conference on Thursday on the sidelines of the annual session of National People's Congress, China's top legislature.
Wan spent 10 years from 1991 as an auto engineer in the research and development of new energy vehicles for the Audi Corporation in Germany.
By the end of 2000, Wan returned home at the invitation of the Ministry of Science and Technology and was appointed chief scientist and group leader of a key national electric vehicle project.
In April 2001, he began to work in Tongji as director of the center of new fuel automobile. Four months later, he became Assistant President of Tongji. In July 2004, Wan was promoted to president of the university.
In 2007, Wan, a non-Communist party member, was appointed the country's minister of science and technology.
China started promoting new energy vehicles in 2009, with public transportation as a pilot zone.
By last year, there were 27,800 new energy vehicles in the country's 25 cities, and 80 percent of them were buses, figures showed. The number is expected to reach 39,000 by the end of this month, according to Wan.
Many cities have been encouraging residents to buy new energy vehicles to help reduce air pollution.
In Beijing, new car buyers have to obtain license plates through a monthly plate lottery. However, those who buy electric cars will not have to enter the lottery due to a series of preferential policies for new energy vehicles that will be rolled out in the first half of 2013.
Subsidies are offered to private buyers of new energy vehicles, but Wan said this is only being adopted for now, and a more coordinated development will be needed in the long run.
"Such coordinated development needs a combination of charging facilities, environmental protection measures, industrial development policies and efforts of power sectors," he said.

已经签署本协议。Faw shows small possibility on VW’s stake increasing request******A few days ago, Germany media reports said Volkswagen was considering increasing its stake in Faw-VW, to be from the current 40% to 50%.
On this issue, Faw official told reporters that "there is no message and there is less possibility." "Faw group has 60% shares, which remained unchanged. "A few days ago, both Faw-Volkswagen and Faw group insiders said to reporters.
While Faw group is developing its own brand, feels rather overwhelmed in the technology regard. Informed sources disclosed that Volkswagen showed commitment on the Faw's own-brand research and provided a strong support, but asked to increase its stake in Faw-VW's shares.
"If the matter is settled and declared, Faw group will face big losses, seriously affecting the corporate image, that is why although the transfer of the shares could help Faw group grow his own brand and development, this matter still cannot be settled. "Mai Wei consulting firm manager Cheng Wenbing said .
It is apparent that after experiencing a series of non-cooperative obstacles, Faw-VW does not intend to abandon outperform equity goals, even upped the goal to reciprocal shareholdings.
Faw group insiders think it will face many difficulties if Faw-Volkswagen plans to outperform stock. "Faw is directly under central enterprises, stock changes must be approved by SASAC and other departments, which means that this really wasn't a thing of both Faw and Volkswagen. Beijing's attitude will determine the direction of things. "The above people says," it would not exclude the possibility that Faw Group promises to increase holdings of Volkswagen stock, but basically zero possibility of overweight 10%. ”

However, as long as having some knowledge of Japanese car in China situation, people will hear about the event bursts between the two countries. Japanese car sales declined dramatically in Sept of 2012. While causes other brands sales increase. Japanese car revenge increase in Sept and Oct seem like compensatory growth.
Compared with other European or Korean brands, what is the real situation of Japanese auto market performance? If we assume boldly that delete 2012 from Japanese auto history, we will find its market performance is still slow that industry average.
According to China Passenger Car Association 2011 and 2013 statistics, the fastest growth auto companies are Changan Ford and FAW-Volkswagen, which have increased 69.27% and 48.71%, the next are Beijing Hyundai, DPCA, Shanghai Volkswagen, Geely Auto and Shanghai GM, and then are Japanese brands.

But the worst Chery, sales decrease 30.42% in 2 years.
Therefore, even if we delete 2012 statistics, Toyota Jan to Oct total sales in China grow less than 10% over last year. Dongfeng Nissan is quite similar. But Honda is a little better, which is close to 20% increase.
If put 2013 and 2011 years Sept and Oct sales together, it is easy to find that Toyota sales of Sept and Oct are less than before. FAW Toyota decreases 5.15%, GAC Toyota decreases 11.27%. Honda seems like walk out of the event. Sept and Oct sales of Dongfeng Honda and GAC Honda have increased 55.61% and 27.78%. Dongfeng Nissan earns 21.9% growth than before.
2013 Auto industry average growth from Jan to Oct is 1.22 times than 2011. Compared with the industry average growth, we will find that Dongfeng Honda just reaches average growth. But GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, Dongfeng Nissan and FAW Toyota are behind industry average.
From sales rank perspective, Dongfeng Nissan, which sale of the first 8 months exceeded Beijing Hyundai 80 thousand, is influenced by sales of last 4 months, and pass the Chinese market sales rank 4 to Beijing Hyundai. Dongfeng Nissan is not possible to take back top 4 from Beijing Hyundai. The distance between them is more than 120 thousand volume. FAW Toyota, which is ranked top 7 for couple of years, now is ranked 11, which has 90 thousand sales from top 7 Great Wall.

But the same analyst warned that sales of luxury and ultra-luxury cars in China is currently slowing. Also, there is widespread speculation that the central government may impose a 20 percent sales tax on luxury cars from next month.

Mr. Tian made the comments at the recently concluded Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, where he confirmed that the joint venture will not reduce its 2013 target of 580,000 vehicles sales.
"Everyone is saying that Toyota is changing," Mr. Tian (pictured above) proudly stated. "In the past Toyota has been critiqued as excessively conservative and moderate," Mr. Tian acknowledged. He was quick to add though, that the new Toyota is aiming to attract a younger and more mainstream segment of the market with the launch of several new models.
As with many other Japanese brands, Toyota sales in China suffered last year. Despite this, FAW Toyota was able to fulfill its 2012 target of 490,550 vehicle sales. Later in March of this year, Toyota brought the 86 sports car (pictured below) to China and announced the new Ranz own brand, whose models will be manufactured in Tianjin. Toyota also has plans to bring over brand new versions of the RAV4 and Vios to the country sometime later this year. FAW Toyota was also keen to announce that it will strengthen sales of its current models, including the current generation RAV4 and Corolla.
Despite overall growth in the Chinese passenger automobile market reaching 25 percent last quarter, sales of Japanese brands, including FAW Toyota, fell 15 percent. Many analysts believe that Japanese manufacturers have not fully recovered from the massive sales declines they suffered last year. FAW Toyota's sales for the quarter totaled 115,000 units, which Mr. Tian pointed out is slightly better than other Japanese brands. "Even if this isn't an especially good performance, it is still acceptable," he commented.

The legislation will reportedly establish stricter price standards than those introduced in 2011, which should help domestic own brand manufacturers develop in the government car market.At the end of 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued standards reducing the maximum price of government cars from 250,000 yuan (,783) to 180,000 yuan (,643) and their maximum engine displacement from 2.0 L to 1.8 L. The new standards will reportedly reduce the maximum price for eligible government vehicles to 160,000 yuan (,461) while maintaining the same engine displacement, which should prove favorable to own brand manufacturers.
Several provincial and municipal governments, such as those of Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Hunan and Anhui, have taken measures to ensure that their existing fleets are "converted to own brand models." There have been many recommendations made by the government to promote the purchase of domestic own brand vehicles for use as government cars, but none of them have been officially made into law.
Own brand models accounted for only 20 percent of vehicles purchased for government use in the first half of 2011.

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai December 3) - According to a Securities Dailyreport appearing today, Chery Automobile has officially denied that it has any involvement or association with Jiugui Liquor, which has been invested in by its Board Chairman, Yin Tongyue. Jiugui Liquor has recently been the subject of a scandal due to accusations that its beverages contain excessive amounts of toxic plasticizer.
In the statement, Chery explained that Mr. Yin (pictured above) does not directly control the companies he has invested in. Although Jiugui's largest shareholder, Guofu Fund, is 30 percent owned by Mr. Yin, its investment decisions are made independently.
Mr. Yin, who is a prominent figure in the automobile industry, has expanded his influence into other fields. However, Chery emphasized that Mr. Yin is still committed to the automobile industry, and is by no means an exclusive stock trader. "[We're] afraid if it wasn't for the [Jiugui] plasticizer scandal... only those in the automobile industry would mention Chery."

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai December 5) - BMW China President and CEO Christoph Stark will officially announce his retirement this weekend, Economic Observer Newsreported today, citing internal sources. Mr. Stark will reportedly continue to assume his post until the beginning of next year, when his replacement will be announced. The news comes not long after rival German manufacturers VW and Mercedes-Benz announced changes to their respective management teams.
The 59 year old Mr. Stark (pictured) originally planned to leave the company at the end of next year, but due to personal reasons, he announced his retirement ahead of schedule. Under his leadership, Mr. Stark, who speaks fluent Chinese and is very knowledgeable about the country's market, enacted a series of pricing and sales strategies that saw BMW's annual sales volume grow from under 20,000 units to 300,000 units in eight years time.
Many in the industry credit Mr. Stark with the success of BMW's domestic production program. BMW, along with its Chinese partner Brilliance Automotive, is currently able to manufacture up to 300,000 vehicles and 400,000 engines every year in China. Furthermore, Mr. Stark helped bring an unprecedented amount of local talent, setting a standard for foreign automobile manufacturers in China.
BMW has yet to announce Mr. Stark's successors, but several in the media predict he or she will come from the manufacturer's German headquarters, due to the increasing importance of the Chinese market. According to various reports, certain departments, including finance and marketing, will need to report more often to German headquarters.

Suppliers are back on solid ground. The government is formally out of the auto business. Automakers are spending more money -- on auto show exhibits, it appears. Even Cobo Center is spruced up and ready for prime time.
The stage is set for the 2014 edition of the Detroit auto show -- severe cold temps and snow aside -- and expectations are riding high.
"It's a good time to be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the North American International Auto Show," Rod Alberts, executive director of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association, said Thursday during a preview of the 2014 show at Cobo Center in downtown Detroit.
His biggest headache? Prepping for Vice President Joe Biden's scheduled visit on Wednesday morning. The whole house has to be swept in advance by the Veep's security detail.
Look for Biden, a Corvette owner, to visit the Chevy stand to check out the new Z06.
That's the same time dealers will get a chance to privately preview the show.
Alberts said ticket sales for the dealer preview should hit 450, up from 250 in 2013, the first year dealer tours were offered. And about half of those dealers are expected to come from outside the Detroit area, Alberts said.
With the number of media credentials tracking 10 percent above 2013, 3 days before the start of press previews, show organizers expect to exceed the 5,212 journalists that attended last year.
Of note, there are new journalists credentialed from Ecuador, Hungary, Croatia, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay this year; while journalists from Namibia, Luxembourg and Nigeria are no shows, so far, this year.
On Wednesday and Thursday, some 25,000 to 30,000 people -- most of them engineer types from suppliers -- are expected to attend Industry Days.
There are lots of changes on the show floor. Chrysler Group plans the biggest Mopar exhibit ever. At the Cadillac stand, the venerable wreath is gone from the crest.
Lexus, Mazda, Acura, Audi and Mercedes plan significantly new displays. And like every year in recent memory, more monster video screens will adorn the walls.
And then there are the new cars and trucks. And no doubt, a few surprises.
Cue the red carpet and fire up the spotlight.

(601238.SH, hereinafter "GAC"), made a speech at Global Auto Forum that GAC has to delayed its IPO because of Changhe Auto shares takeover. But he still believes that mergers and acquisitions is the tendency in the future. Just like developed auto market such as Japan and USA, China auto will build its inner growth power by auto industry mergers and acquisitions.
Zhiyong ZHANG, an auto industry analyst believes that mergers and acquisitions is not just a simple merge of companies, and shall not decide by government. An easy decision may cause a failure in the future.
In March 2009, government has published . It points out that government encourages big auto companies mergers and acquisitions. Government encourages FAW, Dongfeng, SAIC, and Changan mergers and acquisitions national wide, and encourages Beijing Auto, GAC, Chery and China National Heavy Duty Truck mergers and acquisitions locally.
In 21 May 2009, GAC announced that it brought up 29% shares of Changfeng Auto with 1 billion Yuan, which makes GAC as the biggest shareholder of Changfeng. Then Changfeng changed its name to “GAC Changfeng”. Fangyou ZHANG, president and general manager of GAC takes president of GAC Changfeng by himself. According to memo between GAC and Changfeng, both sides will invest 10 billion Yuan into Hu Nan to build 500 thousand production capacities annually.
Vista looks prefect, but the merger has delayed GAC IPO accidently. Qinghong ZENG said that GAC consulted with government officer about the influence of merger between two companies. The answer was it would not influence GAC IPO. However, after merger, GAC IPO has been stopped because of not enough shares taking and peers competition. Qinghong ZENG felt pity at that moment.
“We considered about buying more shares. But according to policy, more than 30% shares buying will cause widely buying from all shareholders, which cost too much.”
In 2011, GAC has initiated the second round Changfeng reorganization, which has launched shares exchange plan. It plans to exchange every Changfeng share with 1.6 GAC A shares. Then GAC Changfeng exits stock market, and GAC launch Shanghai Stock Exchange. GAC final come back to A share, and becomes the first auto company launches A H overall.

The belief that knowledge and education are the keys to a brighter future underpins the company's partnership with the fund, said the Chief Executive Officer of China operations for the German luxury brand Helmut Broeker.
This year, the company is tailoring the support it offers for different age groups of Chinese youth.
"We hope that those youth of different ages in rural communities could all have the chance to realize their potential regardless of where or how they live," Broeker said.
UNICEF and Porsche are opening new frontiers for cooperation as a follow-up to their three-year partnership on the METRU project, which is short for Mobile Educational Training and Resource Units.
"We start an integrated set of interventions for children from birth to three years old in some of China's poorest and most difficult-to-reach counties under a project named Integrated Early Childhood Development, or IECD for short," said Broeker.
"The new project not only concerns the newborn child's physical condition but also pays attention to their mental growth."
UNICEF and Porsche together are supporting this process for China's most underprivileged children. Porsche plans to make a donation of four Cayenne SUVs and contribute a total of 23 million yuan (.68 million) for a three-year period for the IECD program.
"This year we will start working with very young children following the huge volume of evidence which tells us that the youngest children need integrated care, nutrition, support, stimulation, protection and specialized learning and development opportunities," said Tim Sutton, deputy representative of UNICEF China.
"And they need this in an integrated fashion, in all spheres of life if they are to grow and bloom to their full potential."
Broeker said that at the same time, their work in supporting teachers in primary schools through METRU also continues.
"With our support to ambitious art students in the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute through our 'Empowering the Future' Art Contest, which has been held for the third year, we can provide overall support to young Chinese people of every age," said Broeker.
Since 2009, Porsche has partnered with UNICEF on METRU in addition to the recently launched IECD, which are all part of the "Empowering the Future" initiative, the cornerstone of the brand's corporate social responsibility program within the country.
METRU has donated more than 15 million yuan to provide better care and improve the welfare of children in rural areas and facilitate the transportation of essential supplies for their health and education.
For example, the six Porsche Cayenne SUVs donated to METRU in Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan provinces are specially modified to overcome the rough terrain that has long prevented these areas from receiving regular aid and support in the past.
By the end of September, UNICEF and Porsche had delivered training, qualified instructors and resources to 8,189 teachers and 131,804 students across 441 schools in Sichuan and Gansu provinces. They also began reaching out to more than 2,000 teachers and more than 40,000 students across 86 schools in Yunnan province.
"We concentrated and will continue to concentrate our efforts on the western regions because we already see a mature educational environment for young people in eastern coastal areas," said Broeker. "Porsche's projects are going to more surrounding regions, from Yunnan province, to Sichuan and Gansu provinces."
"And our IECD program will even reach Shanxi and Guizhou provinces," said Broeker.
Integrated early childhood development
Though Chinese living standards have been improving rapidly in recent years due to a growing economy, many children living in rural and remote regions of China are still in need of urgent support.
According to UNICEF, about 30 million children under age 6 have no opportunity for early education, with no more than half of Chinese aged 3 to 6 in kindergarten or pre-school.
Porsche aims to initially provide comprehensive services, including high-quality psychological care and pre-school education to 8,000 children under age 3 in 160 villages in Shanxi and Guizhou provinces.
And their families will also receive professional guidance with regard to childcare and teaching. Furthermore, pregnant women are also included in the project, allowing them to take a prenatal examination so that the health of their children is being monitored before they are born.
The German executive paid a visit to children and teachers in three schools in Sichuan province in 2010.
"Children's smiles impressed me when our vehicles arrived with books and other equipment. And I was also touched by the very motivated teachers," said Broeker.
"When I left the schools, I saw the areas devastated by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, with villages buried. I felt that we have to commit more to further support the program," he said.
Then in 2011, Broeker sent the company's manager for the southern region to monitor the implementation of the program firsthand, and last month, Porsche's sales director represented the company on a fact-finding mission about the progress of efforts in Gansu province.
"I would like to participate in the IECD project next year to see what kind of activities we have done and identify some areas in which we can provide more support," Broeker said. "We are not merely concerned about being successful in this market. We are also sincere about giving what we can back to the society in which we are operating."
Broeker said that in all of Porsche's charitable initiatives, the brand has always been dedicated to improving the situations of rural youth and raising public awareness of their needs.
"For Porsche, caring for the underprivileged youth of China is more than only a single act of philanthropy. It is a long-term commitment."
"The rainbow, a key component of our program logo, represents hope and a bright future for youth education. We are coloring children's life with a spiritual bridge that connects the heart through real actions and strong emotions from everyone in Porsche," he said.

General Motors Co.
General Motors’ 4.3-liter EcoTec V6 engine.
General Motors’ GMC truck unit said its Sierra full-size pickup truck will come with a standard 4.3-liter V6 engine that has the highest torque rating among standard V6 engines in the large-pickup segment – 305 lb-ft.
Anyone familiar with the truck business knows that a claim of the highest torque usually means an engine’s horsepower is not so impressive. After all, even though torque is arguably what moves us, drivers relate better to horsepower. And the competition has more.
Ford Motor Co’s F-150 truck comes with a 3.7-liter V6 with 302 horses and Chrysler Group LLC’s Ram 1500 gets 305 from its 3.5-liter V6. Still, while the GMC truck’s 285-horsepower rating is the same as its 5.3-liter V8s were putting out in the late 1990s. So things are improving.
While truck makers prefer to talk about muscle for hauling, towing and acceleration, the real reason they are focusing on six-cylinder engines is fuel economy. Tougher federal fuel-efficiency standards are forcing car companies to improve gas mileage significantly across their entire lineups. As a result, some are now touting trucks for how far they go on a gallon of gas.
The Ram 1500 (with two-wheel-drive) is rated at 23 miles per gallon on the highway — an amazing number for a large pickup. General Motors has said it will focus more on practical power and things like towing capacity. The company said EPA fuel economy estimates for the Sierra and its Chevrolet Silverado sister vehicle will be released later. The trucks will also be available with a 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s.
The 2014 Sierra V6 goes on sale later this year with a starting price of ,085, which includes a destination charge of 5. The V6 version will follow the launch of the 5.3-liter model this summer.

According to a report appearing in the Nanfang Dailyearlier this week, Acura China said that their goal was to ensure profits for their dealerships.During its six years in the country, Acura has failed to make successful inroads among Chinese consumers. The manufacturer's performance has dropped significantly over the last two months, with nearly 20 percent of its dealerships leaving the Acura sales network. According to Takuya Tsumura, head of Acura China's business division, the manufacturer's domestic sales network fell from 39 dealerships in 2011 to 32 dealerships this year. In Mr. Tsumura's own words, Acura China's key goal is to prevent dealerships from leaving its network in the future.
Acura's sales in China have been relatively poor. The manufacturer reported selling a total of 2,300 vehicles in China this year, falling slightly from 2011. By comparison, Acura sold a full 12,163 vehicles in the US in October alone, surpassing rivals Audi and Volvo.
可利用该等运营数据优化和改善BAIC hires Mercedes CLS designer Peter Arcadipane******
Paul Tan's Automotive News -According to a report by GoAuto, the Beijing Automotive Group (BAIC) has hired Peter Arcadipane to oversee a 130-strong team as its design director. Formerly of Mercedes-Benz, the Australian had a hand in penning the CL, CLS (pictured) and M-Class models.
His new role will see him give rise to a line-up of world-class vehicles with "sophisticated styling and great proportions," besides generating a recognisable identity and DNA for BAIC's future products.
"Many people keep pushing this thing that 'we must do Chinese design' but what has actually been proven by the customer is that in China, the majority of people that are buying new cars, and especially people that are buying the more expensive cars, are preferring an international look," Arcadipane told GoAuto.
Among the first of these future products is a RWD medium-large sedan with Daimler underpinnings, reports GoAuto, with crossovers and SUVs also part of the brief.
"The basic plan is to do a lot of products. Any brand that wants to go upmarket and increase volume and profits, you have to more or less go in a lot of the very key segments," said the Australian.
Arcadipane isn't new to China – he spent two years in Shenzhen designing an all-new Denza EV (first motor show debutant pictured above, at the 2012 Beijing show), which should turn up at the Guangzhou show in November ahead of an early-2014 launch.
BAIC's subsidiaries include Beijing Auto, Beijing Automobile Works and Foton. It also builds cars with Hyundai (under the Beijing Hyundai JV) and Daimler (under the Beijing Benz and Beijing Foton Daimler JVs). The Chinese carmaker is preparing to launch an IPO in Hong Kong early next year.
BAIC hired Ferrari Daytona designer Leonardo Fioravanti as a chief design officer in 2012. Other Chinese carmakers that have hired foreign designers in recent times include Chery (Hakan Saracoglu from Porsche), Great Wall Motor (Andreas Deufel from Mercedes-Benz), Geely (Peter Horbury from Volvo) and Brilliance (Dimitri Vicedomini from Pininfarina).

Bernstein.
Carmakers such as General Motors, Volkswagen and Toyota are outspending Chinese brands on research and development and lead in engineering, said Max Warburton, an auto analyst at Bernstein, which has a neutral rating on China's auto industry. The Chinese have the will and money to make their auto industry world class, he said.
"The Chinese are 80% of the way there; 20% doesn't sound very hard, but it's probably the most complex bits to get right," Warburton, who is based in Singapore, said last week. "They'll be spending until they make it work and eventually they'll end up with Chinese carmakers on the world stage."
China's brands are losing share in their home market as foreign manufacturers increase local production and introduce lower-priced models. The country's automakers spend less than 2% of revenue on research and product development, or about half the global average, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
Of the more than 100 Chinese automakers, SAIC Motor stands the best chance of becoming a world-class manufacturer as it has learned a huge amount from its joint-venture partner GM and has more experienced engineers compared with the rest, Warburton said.
The Bernstein team was also "positively surprised" by the progress made by smaller, independent Chinese automakers such as Geely Automobile Holdings, Warburton said. A teardown of Geely's EC7 model showed that the Hangzhou, China-based company had a clear grip of engine technology and called it almost competitive with global automakers.

违反与Nissan China target: 10% market share******Last year’s series of events posed serious impact on all Japanese car brands in China. The first half year’s market changes also proved that the recovery will be long lasting.
Therefore, China Nissan Motor Co. tried to change the original model of depending on passenger car to realize fast growth and turns to use multi-plates, including passenger car and light commercial car in order to reach the 10% market share in China earlier.
Although Nissan Motor Co. all emphasized that they were resuming, the sales curve was not smoothly rising. On July 2,Nissan published China sales which showed that this June, the sales in China market was 101,000 units, declining 7.7% year-on-year, terminated recovery situation in Apr. and May and showed negative growth again.
However, Nissan Motor Co.still believed that they could finish the originally-made annual sales target in China, 125,000 vehicles. Nissan Motor Co. China P.R. Director told Southern Metropolitan Daily reporter that the sales from Jan. to Jun. accumulated 591,600 units, declining 8.3 year-on-year. However, Dongfeng-Nissan’s overall retails rose 1.7% from a year earlier and Zhengzhou Nissan basically realized the original target.
Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said that Nissan’s target of 10% Chinese market share won’t be realized until 2017. However, this year Nissan China sales, 125,000vehicles, was equal to actual sales in 2011, which means that the top priority is to change depending on passenger car to promote market share.
Nissan Motor Co. is undoubtedly the most active car giant who implement the system of “joint venture, independent brand development”. Meanwhile, Huo Jing said that in China market, Nissan will still provide Venucia the technology, production and sale support to realize the strategy of new energy motor. She also revealed that Dongfeng Sport brand’s culture, product orientation and the complete brand framework will be announced during Beijing Auto Show next year.

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai June 26) - Increasing overproduction has become an increasingly contentious issue in the Chinese automotive market. However, at a recent event detailing his company's overseas sales strategy, BAIC Group Chairman Xu Heyi stated that he is not especially worried about the issue, the Beijing Youth Daily reported today. In his view, it is important to consider not only domestic demand for automobiles, but also demand from overseas markets. He points out that Chinese automobile exports are estimated to make up 30 percent of the country's total automobile sales by 2020. Therefore, if China's annual cumulative automobile production capacity reaches 30 million units, total export volume should be around ten million units.
BAIC's stated goal is to sell 400,000 vehicles to foreign customers by 2020. 70 percent of those vehicles will be manufactured overseas. In order to achieve that sales result, BAIC has established a new subsidiary company exclusively dealing with developing and managing its overseas operations. The subsidiary, which is based in Beijing, will oversee the export of own brand vehicles and auto parts, foreign investment and international cooperation. Regional centers will be established in Africa, Western Asia, the former Soviet Union and Latin America over the next three to five years.

实施任何改变或试图改变产品和服务提供的系统配置或破坏系统安全的行为;利用技术或其他手段破坏、扰乱Japanese auto industry leaders stand strong as survivors******The 2013 Tokyo Motor Show has been an unprecedented love fest.
On Tuesday, the afternoon before the first press day, the bosses of each member of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association stood shoulder to shoulder on the same stage, as the sound of a revving engine from each of their lineups roared in turn.
It was an unusual show of solidarity. And it wasn't the last.
The next day at the show, Toyota President Akio Toyoda, sitting astride a Honda motorcycle, smiled and waved to the cameras along with Honda Motor CEO Takanobu Ito. That's like the head of Ford happily posing behind the wheel of a Chevy Corvette.
Japan's automakers have bonded as survivors.
It's one thing to get through a sales downturn. It's quite another to be struggling through the worst global financial crisis in 80 years, be battered by a currency rate that turns the exports you rely on into money-losers -- and then see your factories, and those of your rival countrymen, devastated by an earthquake.
At the Tuesday event, top executives from Japan's five largest automakers took turns on the stage talking about their experiences in the quake, their appreciation of monozukuri (making things) and their hopes for the future. For example, Toshiyuki Shiga, Nissan's vice chairman, recalled being in a videoconference when the quake hit. He spent the night at Nissan's disaster response center.
The gathering also partially reflected a shared awareness that the Tokyo show is being eclipsed on the international stage by auto shows in Shanghai and Beijing. The top executives wanted to remind the international press that there's value in coming to Tokyo, both in seeing vehicles and new technology and in having access to those same executives.
But the theme of survival was never far from the conversation.
Take the "Pine Tree of Hope."
That was the name given to the lone surviving pine tree, from a grove of some 70,000, on a spit of land hit by the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami.
To commemorate it, 14 Japanese automotive manufacturers joined to produce a scale model of the tree using car sheet metal, some salvaged from cars damaged by the catastrophe. Metal craftsmen carefully shaped more than 1,000 pine needles, plus cones and bark.
They didn't approach the task lightly. A final assembly team of seven younger staff members, drawn from about a half-dozen companies, traveled to the site to view the tree in person. Upon return, the guy who had shaped the tree's bark tore up his work and started over, to get it just right.
In any country with multiple automakers, those companies are both fierce rivals and, to some extent, colleagues with a shared destiny. For now, the Japanese industry leaders are standing shoulder to shoulder more than usual.
运营或他人对产品和服务的使用;以任何方式干扰或企图干扰Chinese firm wins A123 despite US tech transfer fears******Reuters - China's largest auto parts maker won U.S. government approval to buy A123 Systems Inc (AONEQ.PK), a maker of electric car batteries, despite warnings by some lawmakers that the deal would transfer sensitive technology developed with U.S. government money.The sale of the lithium-ion battery maker to a U.S. unit of Wanxiang Group was approved by a U.S. government committee on foreign investment, according to a statement from the Chinese company. The companies later said the deal had been completed.
Last month, Wanxiang's U.S. unit agreed to pay 7 million for A123's automotive battery business and related assets in a bankruptcy auction, beating U.S. rival Johnson Controls Inc (JCI.N) of Milwaukee.
But the transaction still needed approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a government body led by the Treasury secretary. The committee approved the deal on Monday night, according to Wanxiang.
"Wanxiang America looks forward to closing the transaction and to continuing to foster the technologies A123 has worked so hard to develop," said Pin Ni, the president of Wanxiang America Corp, in a statement.
Jason Forcier, president of the newly formed A123 Systems LLC's auto business, said Wanxiang was focused on pushing A123 to profitability within a few years. "Wanxiang obviously brings financial stability to the company that we haven't had in at least the last six to 12 months," he said in a telephone interview.
Some members of Congress and the Strategic Materials Advisory Council - a group including retired military leaders that is focused on protecting the U.S. industrial supply chain - said the sale to Wanxiang could jeopardize U.S. energy security and they asked the U.S. committee to block it.
A123 had received a 9 million grant from the U.S. government as part of a stimulus program to promote clean energy, although about half of that money was never released.
The company filed for bankruptcy in October due to weaker-than-expected demand for hybrid vehicles and technical problems.
The company makes batteries for Fisker Automotive, BMW (BMWG.DE) hybrid 3- and 5-Series cars, and General Motors Co's (GM.N) all-electric Chevrolet Spark, which is scheduled for release later this year. China's SAIC Motor Corp (600104.SS) and India's Tata Motors (TAMO.NS) also are customers.
The money raised by the sale will be used to repay the battery maker's debts of about 6 million.
BLUNTING CRITICISM
Wanxiang tried to blunt criticism of the deal by excluding A123's defense contracts from its bid at the auction. Those were sold separately to Illinois-based Navitas Systems for .25 million.
"There is no question that CFIUS process is there to fully protect national security issues and we are glad that we could have addressed all the concerns CFIUS has," Wanxiang America's president said in an email to Reuters.
Among the lawmakers who remained opposed to the sale were two senators who questioned the government's funding of the battery company even before its bankruptcy.
"Technology produced by A123 and funded by U.S. taxpayers should not simply be shipped off to China so that the military applications for these materials can be reproduced abroad," said a statement from Senator John Thune, a Republican from South Dakota.
Thune and Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, called on CFIUS to give a full briefing on the A123 review.
A123 received its U.S. government funds, which it used to build manufacturing plants in Michigan, as part of a billion program to promote clean energy.
Chinese companies have been pouring cash into overseas investments, and with that money has come concerns around the globe that companies with ties to Beijing may not play by free-market rules.
The CFIUS recently rejected a bid to build wind farms in Oregon by Ralls Corp, owned by two executives of China's Sany Group SANYG.UL. The committee has also blocked multiple deals by Huawei Technologies Co HWT.UL, a Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer.
Wanxiang may have soothed the concerns of CFIUS members with its history of investing in the United States.
The company generates about billion in U.S. revenue by supplying parts to GM and Ford Motor Co (F.N). It has bought or invested in more than 20 U.S. companies, many of which were in bankruptcy, according to a congressional report.
Forcier said with Wanxiang's backing, A123 will invest in areas where it sees growth, including batteries for hybrid and microhybrid vehicles. While the auto business will make up half of the company's sales this year, the electric grid unit is expected to become its largest business within the next several years.
He also said A123 hopes to leverage its ties to Wanxiang into more business in China, where it operates through a joint venture with SAIC. Forcier said A123 will operate as a stand-alone entity and no major job cuts are planned.

未经New Chinese tax on luxury automobiles rumored to be announced soon******
Gasgoo.com (Shanghai May 21) - Recently rumors of impending taxes on luxury vehicles have been appearing across the Chinese media. In a report appearing the Nanfang Dailytoday, an anonymous official from a German luxury car manufacturer confirmed the rumors, but was unable to provide detailed information regarding when such taxes will be implemented. "The Ministry of Finance, State Administration of Taxation and other relevant departments are currently in the process of researching [the policies]," the source commented.
According to the rumors, luxury automobiles carrying price tags of at least 1.7 million yuan to 1.8 million yuan (4,346-0,484) will be eligible for a luxury tax of 20 percent. An official from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, who also wished to remain anonymous, said that the relevant government departments are currently in the process of revising the policies, and will later collect opinions from the people. How the new tax will affect the current emission-based taxes purchasers of luxury vehicles have to pay is also being researched.
The last time a new tax was implemented on luxury automobiles in China was March 2006. In the run-up to the new policy, luxury vehicle sales jumped as buyers scrambled to pick them up before price rises. For their part, luxury automobile manufacturers are currently awaiting more official information from the government before making any changes to their marketing strategies.
Industry Analyst Sun Shiqing points out that the policy will mostly influence ultra luxury brands, such as Bentley and Rolls-Royce, who will have to seriously reconsider thier pricing policies in order to account for a 20 percent tax on thier models.
However, fellow Industry Analyst Zhang Zhiyong explains that the overall effect from new tax policies on the market will be limited, as total annual sales of vehicles prices over 1.7 million yuan are currently under 5,000 units. However, he also pointed out that the new policies may influence the attitude of consumers in the luxury vehicle market and the overall development of the segment. "Sales and production numbers in the Chinese automobile market are the highest in the world, but vehicle prices are not developing alongside other developed markets." Mr. Zhang predicts that these variables in the Chinese market will shift over the next few years until they are in line with the rest of the world.
书面同意,您不能单独或(和)结合其它方式展示和使用Daimler creates dedicated China sales operation at Stuttgart HQ******China Daily - German automobile giant Daimler AG, which owns the Mercedes-Benz car brand, has established a special sales unit in its Stuttgart headquarters dedicated to growing vehicle sales in China, amid a slowdown in China's luxury car market.
The move comes after it integrated all sales activities for imported and locally produced passenger cars, under the umbrella of Beijing Mercedes-Benz Sales Service Co Ltd earlier this year.
The new unit will be headed by Bernhard Auer, a sales specialist who is highly experienced in China, who most recently managed Mercedes' rival Audi AG's sales operation on the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong.
Hubertus Troska, a member of Daimler's management board responsible for China, said: "We have made numerous measures to help our Chinese business over the past six months and there continue to proceed step by step.
"May saw a continuation of the positive sales trend from the previous months and we are keeping our foot on the gas together with the sales organization in Germany."
The company said in a statement that the new China unit had been set up at the company's central sales section in Stuttgart and is being named Sales Management China.
It will coordinate all passenger car sales functions relating to the Chinese market, which remains its most important passenger car market, and will be able to "serve the Chinese automobile market even more effectively".
The statement added that the new dedicated department is to address market requirements and specific needs of the Chinese business even more effectively and to provide colleagues in China with support from headquarters.
"Together with an expansion and rejuvenation of our product range, a decisive factor for our sustained success is the consistent development of our dealer network, among other things," said Troska.
"In this way we are continually opening up in cities and regions in which Mercedes-Benz has not previously had an adequate presence."
Troska previously told China Daily that the company plans to open 75 new dealerships in 2013, including those in 36 cities in which the brand previously had no presence at all.
"Mercedes-Benz will then have more than 300 dealers in China," he said.
He said the company will keep expanding its Mercedes dealer network in China by around 50 new sites a year, particularly away from the well-known mega-cities.
Statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers show that in the first quarter, domestic sales growth in the luxury vehicle segment - led by three German brands Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - slowed to 4 percent, well below the 13 percent annual growth in the overall passenger car market.
The easing was blamed on the new Chinese leadership's guidelines on curbing public spending, especially on luxury items.

During interview, Bo Gao is confident with the future of Jaguar- Land Rover. “Frankly speaking, Jaguar- Land Rover achievement is partly because we enter Chinese market late. But we find that luxury auto demand annually now is around 1.2- 1.3 million, and the figure will increase to 3 million at 2020. We are very confident to have a sustainable development in China.”
At present, south China is the main market for Jaguar- Land Rover. As it known, Jaguar- Land Rover has 177 certified dealers, and 124 of them are operating already, include 30 dealers in south China. Guangzhou has license plate limitation policy which benefits small displacement auto. “The best way is to cooperate with local luxury auto dealer closely,” Bo Gao comments that “used car market in China is very potential, and we work with local dealers, and promote our small displacement engine model car simultaneously.” As reporter understood, Bo Gao is very busy for dealer network building recently. He arrives and departs Guangzhou and Dongguan at the same day, because of two new 4S shop open for business, and he will leave after interview for 30th 4S shop ceremony at Shenzhen.

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai December 5) - BMW China President and CEO Christoph Stark will officially announce his retirement this weekend, Economic Observer Newsreported today, citing internal sources. Mr. Stark will reportedly continue to assume his post until the beginning of next year, when his replacement will be announced. The news comes not long after rival German manufacturers VW and Mercedes-Benz announced changes to their respective management teams.
The 59 year old Mr. Stark (pictured) originally planned to leave the company at the end of next year, but due to personal reasons, he announced his retirement ahead of schedule. Under his leadership, Mr. Stark, who speaks fluent Chinese and is very knowledgeable about the country's market, enacted a series of pricing and sales strategies that saw BMW's annual sales volume grow from under 20,000 units to 300,000 units in eight years time.
Many in the industry credit Mr. Stark with the success of BMW's domestic production program. BMW, along with its Chinese partner Brilliance Automotive, is currently able to manufacture up to 300,000 vehicles and 400,000 engines every year in China. Furthermore, Mr. Stark helped bring an unprecedented amount of local talent, setting a standard for foreign automobile manufacturers in China.
BMW has yet to announce Mr. Stark's successors, but several in the media predict he or she will come from the manufacturer's German headquarters, due to the increasing importance of the Chinese market. According to various reports, certain departments, including finance and marketing, will need to report more often to German headquarters.

Ltd (CAPSA) 's affiliated brand DS officially launched the first model DS5 to the market.In early September, the Economic Observer reporter ever visited CAPSA, but the original plan of visiting factory were temporarily canceled. According to CAPSA insiders, on DS5 line, DS4 sedan version are debugging the production, because the models are still in secret stage, it not convenient to be saw by the media.
DS4 sedan version will be listed before or after next year's Beijing auto show and DS concept SUV model that has been showed at the Shanghai Auto Show this year will be put into production in the second half of next year.
This releases a positive sign, namely China-made models of DS brand started to focus on mass models in China which are not listed in PSA France headquarters, which is partly due to CAPSA shareholder pressures.
PSA is mired in losses in Europe, which fast needs a new profit growth point, while the precondition that ChangAn Automobile puts joint venture China equity into public company in the fourth quarter is also that China-made models will make profits by 2015. These demands from shareholders all require DS brands to quickly launch mass vehicles in China and turn a profit.
When DS5 was listed, PSA has invited France "Goddess" Sophie Marceau as endorsements to enhance consumer understanding of the French romantic culture of DS series. Whether DS China-made models will be able to attract Chinese young consumers will be the most important factor for PSA to reach 200,000 cars target.

Four Ministries popularizing New Energy Auto Eve: Nissan Major Forays China by Kai Chen******Dongfeng Nissan has signed a big contact with Dalian government on September 13. It concerns with 1000 Kai Chen e30 electronic cars.
“Both of interior and configuration of Kai Chen e30 are aiming private consumers and public market in the future. But e30 must get close to public purchase at moment.” Hongbin Yan, vice director of Dongfeng Nissan Kai Chen business unit said.
Kai Chen has found for 3 years only, which is not able to develop a mass production pure electronic car obviously. According to Kai Chen disclosures, e30 is Lingfeng series actually. Researcher of Dongfeng Nissan has not changed much after introducing Lingfeng.
“Nissan electronic cars will be introduced to Kai Chen in the future. And it will become joint venture China owned brand later.” Inner staff of Nissan said. However, it is even difficult for Nissan to hand over its obsolete model to joint venture China owned. Why Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan, decides to hand over its key technology to joint venture China owned this time?
“Ghosn has considered a while for sure. But his electronic car plan can’t afford to loss Chinese market. But Chinese new energy policy forces Nissan to take joint venture.” Inner staff of Nissan said.
When Kai Chen found, it did not think it would have electronic car, the trump of Ghosn. Ghosn has tried to introduce Lingfeng into Chinese market. But it has not popularized widely except limited in Guangzhou, Wuhan and Dalian.
According to national new energy subsidy policy, foreigner brands or joint venture brands new energy cars cannot have subsidy. Therefore, even Lingfeng made in China, and included in MIIT car directory, it still unable to compete against pure electronic cars which have subsidy.
Electronic car business of Kai Chen totally depends on Chinese national subsidy. But whether Kai Chen is able to take the opportunity is all depend on its ability. And it is not free lunch for Kai Chen introducing Lingfeng. Ghosn asks for 1 million sales in 2017, but Kai Chen sales is only 100 thousand now.
Ghosn forecasts that it is able to join “Ten Million Club” in 2016, and will not distance from Toyota, GM and Volkswagen too far. But it is not ultimate goal for Ghosn. It is very hard for traditional auto manufacturer exceeding top 3. But electronic auto is the highland for Ghosn.
In Chinese market, it has mass production electronic car SAIC Rover E50, Changan E30, Beijing Auto E150EV and BYD E6 which are totally made in China. Shanghai Volkswagen and Pan Asia Technical Center designed Springo pure electronic car is joint venture, which cannot share government subsidy.

These vehicles are considerably expensive, carrying price tags above the 400,000 yuan (,023) mark. The Lexus CT is the only one with a starting price under 300,000 yuan (,017).

承诺将不断提升产品质量和服务水平,尽最大努力确保产品和服务的连贯性与安全性。同时请您理解并同意,Symbol of Chinese privilege challenging Audi******Bloomberg News -Chairman Mao Zedong's Red Flag sedans go on sale to the public today (NZ time) after a US0 million (NZ1m) overhaul, pitting the symbol of Communist privilege against Volkswagen's Audi for China's elite.
China FAW Group, which built the first Hongqi — as the brand is known in Chinese — for Mao in 1958, will hold an event this evening (NZ time) to mark the start of retail sales, according to Fan Xiaojing, a marketing executive with the state- owned automaker. He declined to provide pricing details.
Formerly called First Automotive Works, started by the Communist Party as a linchpin of China's industrial policy, FAW Group has delivered more than 500 Red Flags to government agencies and has been included by the Commerce Ministry as an item for foreign aid. To win private sales, FAW will have to compete against brands from Audi to BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
"China's auto market is like a jungle full of ferocious beasts," Cao He, an analyst with China Minzu Securities Co. in Beijing, said by telephone.
"The Red Flag is like a panda that grew up in a man-made environment. It won't survive unless it has the toughest type of DNA in its blood."
FAW made about 1500 Red Flag cars — reserved for high-ranking government and Party officials — in the 24 years before the brand was discontinued in 1982 for excessive gas consumption.
The revived brand is receiving a similar boost from the current Communist Party leadership.
Communist Party chief Xi Jinping said in a closed-door meeting in December that "it doesn't look good" for government officials to ride in foreign-brand cars all the time, according to the 21st Century Business Herald on March 13.
Last month, FAW delivered 12 Red Flag sedans to China's eastern Zhejiang provincial government, which bought the cars to support the Party's government-car reforms, the company said in a statement on its website.
In April, French President Francois Hollande was ferried in a Red Flag L5 limousine during his state visit to China. The automaker sent 20 Red Flag sedans to Fiji for use at the Group of Seventy Seven summit.
The car was included by China's Commerce Ministry among items the government may donate to foreign countries and the automaker said it's actively liaising with Chinese embassies and overseas governments to "fly the Red Flag in all corners of the world," according to its website.
FAW, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in July, plans to invest at least 10.5 billion yuan (NZ.1b) into developing the Red Flag through 2015, the company said on its website. The car was developed by FAW, which owns full intellectual-property rights over its engine, chassis, body design and electronics, according to the company.
"At the current stage, the biggest responsibility of FAW is to make Red Flag brand work," Chairman Xu Jianyi said last year. "It is a matter of dignity to the Chinese people as well as the responsibility of FAW as the very first automaker in China."
To promote the brand to Chinese consumers, FAW plans to set up Red Flag service facilities in major cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, according to the company.
Workers were still cleaning up the 500 square-metre Red Flag outlet overnight (NZ time) at Beijing's upscale Jinbao shopping street, home to dealerships for Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz.
Shop assistants were wiping down the four brand-new H7 Hongqi sedans temporarily parked on the pedestrian pavement, opposite the shopping mall housing boutiques for Gucci, Omega and Burberry.
Li Yong, 59, a retired civil servant, was among those who stopped to gaze at the gleaming H7 Red Flag.
"To older people like me, the Red Flag is an icon of status and glory," said Li, who was visiting the Mercedes-Benz dealership across the street. "I would like to buy the car if I need it, but my son thinks otherwise. He isn't emotionally attached to the Red Flag brand at all and wants a Mercedes instead. That's why I'm here today to take a look as well before he buys it."

How car marketers harness the viral power of BuzzFeed to reach millennials******Some automakers are feeding the viral content cravings of millennials to deepen their brand appeal.
Volkswagen, Ford, Toyota, Mini and others are diversifying their ad strategies by deploying quirky posts on BuzzFeed, a millennial-dominated social news site known for its "Top (insert number)" lists in every topic imaginable.
The site employs more than 100 journalists who report on topics such as politics and business, but its calling card lies in the contagious lists that persuade many of its 85 million unique monthly users to plaster their social news feeds with outlandish photos and Internet memes.
Just some examples:
• 25 Party Appetizers That Should Be Banned For Life
• 21 Dogs Who Are Prepared For Black Friday
• 15 Terrible Love Lessons We Learned From Disney Princesses
Toyota and BuzzFeed's ad content staff once came up with a post dubbed "11 Dances You Should Totally Do In The Car" to name-drop the 2014 Corolla, while Volkswagen played with its "Happiness" theme on "9 Songs That Will Turn Your Frown The Other Way Around." BuzzFeed's ad creative team is separate from the editorial operation.
More than half of BuzzFeed's monthly visitors come via mobile devices.
"With the 2014 Corolla, we know that we have a new kind of consumer -- they're hyper social digital natives connected to everything they care about from friends, to entertainment, to researching for their first new car," wrote Dionne Colvin-Lovely, Toyota's national marketing media manager, in an e-mail Q&A. "Connecting with them meant meeting them where they already were."
Automakers are enticed by the shareability of BuzzFeed content.
BuzzFeed's 1.3 social lift benchmark indicates that for every 10 people who come across a given post on the site, an additional three will follow via social media referrals, said Jonathan Perelman, BuzzFeed's vice president of agency strategy and industry development.
Toyota's "11 dances" post garnered a social lift 3.6 times higher than the BuzzFeed benchmark.
Automotive marketers are eager to tap into this viral potential with lighthearted features that are often centered on humor rather than the horsepower and fuel economy of the latest hot hatches and small crossovers.
The selling part comes later once the branding seed sprouts.
In one case, a Mini BuzzFeed campaign tied to its "Not Normal" marketing pitch last year showed a 33 percent boost in purchase intent among those exposed to content through social sharing. Perelman said 30 percent of content advertising traffic comes through social media.
"The power for auto brands, really any brand, but really for automotive brands is you can tell a really compelling, sometimes funny story that's adding value to the consumer so that they're not only going to want to engage with that ad, but also share it with their friends," Perelman said in an interview.
"There's an implied endorsement that you as my friend understand what I like. You're going to have a significant lift in your feelings toward the brand. That's the power today in social content marketing. Being able to be in the conversation, adding value to the consumer and tapping into the networks where people are already communicating."
Automakers collaborate with BuzzFeed's 30 member ad creative team to come up with the most attention-grabbing content.
Each side bounces ideas off the other until settling on a concept that the BuzzFeed ad team brings to life. Automakers pay for individual campaigns, each one including several posts centered on a common theme, on a one-off basis.
But Perelman said BuzzFeed is in talks with auto companies to create more consistent content in an "always on" approach.
The content is housed on dedicated pages for each brand that are flanked by the Facebook or Twitter feeds of the companies in addition to banner ads across the top.
"The unique content that is created on BuzzFeed directly helps us engage with millennials in a humorous way to bring them something that interests them yet ties back to our brand guidelines and messaging that we would like to share in order to grow favorable opinion," wrote Erica Bigley, Ford's digital media manager, in an email Q&A.
'Real time' marketing
Volkswagen capitalized on this year's Super Bowl hype with a twist, honoring the losing San Francisco 49ers instead of the champion Baltimore Ravens.
Right after the game, BuzzFeed posted, "So Your Team Lost, But Here Are 10 Reasons Why It's Still Awesome To Be A San Francisco Fan" to tie into the "Happiness" angle. VW and BuzzFeed had content prepared for whoever lost.
Reasons included, "Nic Cage Filmed his greatest movie ever, The Rock, in your town," and "You have the coolest Chinatown outside of China."
"It was a great way to tap into one of the real powers of social media right now, which is this notion of real time," Perelman said.
"There's an idea to expand upon real-time marketing as planned spontaneity. We knew a team was going to lose. It sucks for them, but we knew a team was going to lose. Working with VW on what mattered to them, which was happiness, let's celebrate the team that lost. It was unexpected [and] it was in real time."

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai December 25) - Mitsubishi aims to sell around 25,000 vehicles in China next year, China Business Newsreported today, citing a statement made by Mitsubishi Sales China General Manager Hiroyuki Nagasawa.
According to Mr. Nagasawa, the new Outlander SUV (pictured), which made its debut in Beijing this week, will make up 80 percent of those sales. The Outlander, which is currently sold as an import model, is available in five different variations with two different engine options, priced between 229,800 yuan and 344,800 yuan (,456-,700). Mr. Nagasawa believes that the price for the Outlander is relatively low for an imported model.

However, representatives from Mitsubishi stated that the 300,000 sales target for 2015 will remain unchanged.
The new joint venture company between GAC and Mitsubishi was officially registered this October. Mitsubishi has previously stated its intent to set up its largest SUV manufacturing center worldwide in China within the next five years.

Changan Automobile Vice President Wang Zhongsheng said, “CX-5 equipped with "SKYACTIV Technology" is of excellent technical power, high efficiency and energy saving, safety and comfort and environmental protection, and it will be an important breakthrough and a big success in the Chinese market.” In fact, Changan Mazda seniors have expressed more than once confidence in the domestic cx-5 on various occasions. For example, one manufacturer manager had predicted in an interview with the media that domestic CX-5 would be very popular after on sale and it may be hard to not to increase car sales during a short time. Changan Mazda’s confidence in the CX-5 can also be reflected in the go-public activity with the theme of "Out of your Imagine".
Market researchers believe that CX-5 is the hope for Changan Mazda to bring about an upswing. Compared with the previous product, CX-5 does have extraordinary strengths with "SKYACTIV Technology". It is said that compared to the imported models before, domestic CX-5 is more advanced with high-end equipment and favorable price and is more fuel-efficient.
In addition, along with the introduction of new products and technology upgrades, Changan Mazda also launched auto warranty service on July 1 ahead of the national ruled time, which applies to all of its products and the warranty time is also longer than the national provisions. When purchasing CX-5, customers can immediately enjoy the warranty service, which is undoubtedly a big help for the sales.
It is obvious that CX-5 is indeed a very competitive car. So, whether can Changan Mazda make an inexorable rise by CX-5 ? We will check in the future market.

According to the CAAM study, production and sales numbers from January to November totaled 17.48 million units and 17.49 million units, respectively. The two figures represent respective year-on-year growth rates of 4.5 percent and four percent. Total automobile sales this year are expected to exceed 19 million units.
The CAAM believes that the low growth rates signify that the Chinese automobile market is still in a period of restructuring. Production capacity currently outweighs market demand, which has put a considerable amount of strain on manufacturers and their dealerships to decrease their inventory levels. This in turn has led to decreasing profits all around.

Benz reorganizes product strategy and come back. Volvo is coming to say goodbye to the generation abandoned by Ford. Except Audi, all high-end luxury brandsare active to adjust their strategy for Chinese market combat 2014-2015 seasons.
Different from BMW chasing Audi alone but others sit and watch, with their “clubs”member increase, second round luxury segment competition full of uncertainty. At present, in China, Audi sit top seat stable. BMW has luxury configuration and waits for a fight. Benz is under reorganization and integration. Volvo is just like a black horse.
In 2013, BMW seniormanagement is turbulence. Chinese luxury automobile segment ends its savage growth. BMW sales with inside and outside crisis even turn down to single figure growth. Last March, Ange takes CEO and president position of BMW Great China market instead of Stark. The first time he told his BMW growth expectation in front of media: 10%.
In fact, Ange underestimates purchase power of Chinese luxuryautomobile consumers. 2013 sales of BMW in Chinese market hit record high to 391 thousand, which has increased 19.7% over last year, and total beyond Ange expectation. On 6 Jan, Ange immediately came back after finishing his Christmas holiday from north German, and assembled media conference.

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai June 26) - Increasing overproduction has become an increasingly contentious issue in the Chinese automotive market. However, at a recent event detailing his company's overseas sales strategy, BAIC Group Chairman Xu Heyi stated that he is not especially worried about the issue, the Beijing Youth Daily reported today. In his view, it is important to consider not only domestic demand for automobiles, but also demand from overseas markets. He points out that Chinese automobile exports are estimated to make up 30 percent of the country's total automobile sales by 2020. Therefore, if China's annual cumulative automobile production capacity reaches 30 million units, total export volume should be around ten million units.
BAIC's stated goal is to sell 400,000 vehicles to foreign customers by 2020. 70 percent of those vehicles will be manufactured overseas. In order to achieve that sales result, BAIC has established a new subsidiary company exclusively dealing with developing and managing its overseas operations. The subsidiary, which is based in Beijing, will oversee the export of own brand vehicles and auto parts, foreign investment and international cooperation. Regional centers will be established in Africa, Western Asia, the former Soviet Union and Latin America over the next three to five years.

Recently, Gang Yan so expressed during interview that marketing company of JAC passenger car has almost 100 director level executives, but now head office at He Fei only takes 25 people, others are sent to local marketing regions.
As it known, JAC has entered passenger cat segment for 5 years. It has launched 7 models into market, but only 2 realize profit by now. With the decline tendency of commercial car segment, JAC is badly in need of “the third foot” passenger car to take the pressure.
JAC has modest company culture for a long time. Therefore, when Gang Yan announced his strict reformation policy, it might conflict with company culture.
JAC is still rethinking the lesson of 3.15. Gang Yan mentioned about “rustgate” of JAC Tong Yue again. On March 15, CCTV advocacy channel has broadcasted that JAC Tong Yue has rust problem. It does not influence JAC sales, which still increases 21% in the first half year. However, it has reflected passenger car department of JAC reacting slowly and bad communication with customer.
From Gang Yan’s perspective, rustdoor underscores functional departments set unreasonable after JAC passenger and commercial car marketing integration. The similar problem does not only exist in after service department, but also spreads all over marketing, brand design and strategy making departments as well. Both former JAC marketing company and Xing Yue muti-functional auto marketing company own independent sales, market, service and administration departments. It has left almost 100 executives after the two company merged.
Compared with sales region policy, new marketing organization is more submerged and in detail as province unit. JAC passenger car marketing company delegates enough to province subsidies. Province marketing directors is approved to make local policy against specific local market situation within power range. It aims the stiff competition, and sales improvement.
JAC passenger car has invested more than 8 billion since its first passenger car Bin Yue launched marketing in 2008. The company has put 7 products into market, but only He Yue and Bin Yue has realized profit. JAC has sold 274 thousand vehicles in the first half year of 2013, which increases 21% over the same period of last year. Particularly net profit achieves 520 million Yuan, which increases 62.58% over last year. However, 90% profit comes from trucks and Refine series.
Rethinking the development and frustration of JAC passenger car, Gang Yan believes it is because of marketing factor, but not production factor. Both comes from An Hui Province of China, people inside industry comment Chery and JAC by “grandiose aims but puny abilities” and “grandiose abilities but puny aims”, which means JAC’s R & D much better than its marketing, but Chery is opposite.

"We have to fix China," Zetsche told reporters today at the North American International Motor Show in Detroit. "And that's what we're doing."
Daimler is negotiating its role in a possible initial public offering by Chinese partner Beijing Automotive Group Co., the CEO said, without giving details. There are no talks with China's sovereign-wealth fund to buy a stake in the automaker, he said, denying a media report from last week.
Zetsche has vowed to retake the top spot Mercedes lost to BMW in 2005 by the end of the decade at the latest. Audi, No. 2 in global luxury sales since 2011, is pursuing the same goal. Mercedes fell further behind BMW and Audi in sales last year as it grew more slowly in China, the world's biggest car market, than its two main rivals.
Daimler, based in Stuttgart, Germany, has named Hubertus Troska to its board with responsibility for China and is combining its separate sales organizations in the country for imported and locally produced cars into one entity.
"We have to give the new people a chance," said Zetsche. "This is a good starting point."
New products will give Daimler momentum this year, the CEO said. Daimler presented a refreshed E-Class sedan in Detroit and will introduce an overhauled version of the flagship S-Class sedan later this year.

Mitsubishi managed to sell just 40,000 automobiles in China this year, far less than the 60,000 units it sold in 2011. Furthermore, import Mitsubishi sales in 2012 only managed to reach 15,000 units. However, representatives from Mitsubishi stated that the 300,000 sales target for 2015 will remain unchanged.
The new joint venture company between GAC and Mitsubishi was officially registered this October. Mitsubishi has previously stated its intent to set up its largest SUV manufacturing center worldwide in China within the next five years.

"Our intent was not to offend anyone and we're deeply sorry if anyone was offended," Ryndee Carney, a Detroit-based GM spokeswoman, said yesterday in a telephone interview. "We're reviewing our advertising approval processes to make sure this doesn't happen again."
The English-language ad for the Chevrolet Trax sport-utility vehicle featured a 1920s motif and included music from Austrian performer and disc jockey Parov Stelar, she said. The South China Morning Post reported on the ad, using the word "racist" in a headline.
Jeff Chung, a Hong Kong-based automotive analyst at Daiwa Securities Group Inc., said the incident is unlikely to affect GM's sales in China.
"They've got a good model lineup," Chung said. "Chinese people are more confident nowadays. If the product is good, then they buy it."
'Insensitive marketing'
Commentary in Chinese social media wasn't as forgiving.
"It's hard to imagine that this sort of insensitive marketing appeared in a western country with such a large Chinese population," Xu Guozhen, a vice president at Siemens AG's China operations, wrote on his Weibo microblog. "This was a mistake on the part of the GM management in North America."
GM wants to expand sales in China and plans to spend billion through 2016 on new plants and products in the country. GM is targeting 5 million deliveries in China by 2015. Sales of GM and its Chinese joint ventures increased 11 percent to a record 2.84 million last year. The company already sells more vehicles in China than its home market.
The latest Chevy ad never appeared in China, Carney said. It began running in Canada on March 4 and was also available online through Chevrolet Europe websites, she said. The company ended all versions of the ad by yesterday, Carney said. GM took the step after receiving a complaint, she said.
More blunders
The episode is one of several marketing blunders prompting public apologies by automakers this year.
Ford Motor Co. apologized in March for ads in India, including a version depicting former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi with three tied-up and gagged young women.
The ads weren't requested by Ford or intended for paid publication, WPP Plc's JWT India unit said in an e-mailed statement in March. The agency fired an undisclosed number of employees.
Hyundai Motor Co., based in Seoul, and a dealer for GM's Buick brand apologized for posting on Chinese social media while alluding to an outcry over the murder of a 2-month-old baby. Hyundai also apologized for a promotional video posted on Google Inc.'s YouTube depicting a man trying to kill himself in his vehicle.
GM fell 2.1 percent to .18 at the close yesterday in New York. The shares have increased 4.7 percent this year, compared with an 11 percent gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

Sure. That'll happen.
But it didn't hurt to ask. Marchionne and Gov. Bill Haslam were together on Father's Day in the little town of Pulaski, Tenn., where the Fiat boss was cutting the ribbon, so to speak, on a new Fiat group parts factory. Fiat is planning to hire 850 people there, on top of about 200 others who already are on site making auto lights and suspension parts.
But consider this: What a wacky turn of history it is that in 2013, the governor of Tennessee would even be in the situation of asking the head of Fiat S.p.A. to consider pulling his auto company out of Italy and relocating it in the land of sipping whiskey, tobacco farms and recording studios.
How many locked doors have come open in the past few years to make this conversation even remotely plausible?
Not so long ago, Fiat and Italy were indivisible. Fiat owned the Italian home market. Imports were scant. Fiat's global ambitions were meager.
Not so long ago, Fiat was struggling as a financial holding of General Motors, which had its own financial issues gurgling under the surface. In truth, it looked for a while that Fiat might simply cease to be.
Fiat not only reversed that outlook; it rebounded enough to re-emerge as a powerful force on the North American landscape to rescue Chrysler from its own certain death.
And rather than simply sitting back in the shadows like a silent partner, which Renault has elected to do in the United States despite its financial control of Nissan, Fiat has had the newfound gumption to reintroduce its brands into the United States, overcoming its chagrin at having failed epically here back in the 1980s.
Despite now being joined at the hip with one of the Detroit 3 -- emphasis on "Detroit" -- Fiat's CEO has dared to ruminate in public about the possibility that old geographic roots don't necessarily confine him in the future. He actually has indicated that Fiat's global headquarters do not absolutely have to remain in Turin.
In other words, things are different now.
The future will take us to strange new places. The fact that Tennessee was even part of the day's conversation just shows you how yesterday's implausibilities are today's opportunities.

Over 22000 Lexus IS cars to be recalled in China******
Gasgoo.com (Shanghai January 31) - Toyota China announced that it will begin recalling 22,869 imported Lexus IS luxury cars in the country next month, chinanews.com reported today, citing an announcement made by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. The recall, which will begin on February 5, will target Lexus IS cars manufactured between January 2006 and September 2011.
The IS cars (pictured) in question are suspected to possess a design flaw in which the front windshield wipers risk being damaged when being used to forcibly clear large amounts of snow or similar material. The screws fixing the wipers in place may end up being damaged, which may prevent the wipers from functioning properly, posing a potential safety risk.
Toyota China will conduct free inspection and replacement of all vehicles in question. The manufacturer and its certified dealerships will contact owners of affected vehicles.

Subsidies for green cars not bringing expected results******China Daily - Despite unprecedented efforts by the government to promote green vehicles, growth in this market has failed to meet expectations.
When a program to subsidize alternative-energy vehicles was launched in 2009 by the central government, authorities projected that the collective sales of these vehicles in select pilot cities would reach 53,000 by 2012.
However, sales fell far short of the mark. In the 25 pilot cities, 27,432 vehicles were sold, 4,400 of which were to private owners and the rest to public fleets.
Sponsored by four central government ministries, the pilot program started in 25 major Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Shenzhen.
It was only the first of many measures intended to stimulate the growth of a green car market.
Subsidies for green cars not bringing expected results
In May 2010, the four ministries issued another subsidy policy for private vehicles using alternative energy. This subsidy was set according to the battery capacity of the vehicle at a rate of 3,000 yuan per kilowatt-hour.
Buyers of plug-in hybrid cars could receive up to 50,000 yuan in subsidies, and subsidies of up to 60,000 yuan would be given to buyers of pure-electric cars.
Since the nationwide program was initiated, the governments of pilot cities have also come up with their own promotional plans to provide additional local subsidies.
During the two sessions this year, the four ministries reached a consensus to extend the subsidy policy for alternative-energy vehicles for another three years.
Although leaders say they remain resolute in their support of green cars, it is still uncertain if the three-year extension of the subsidy policy will have the intended effect on the market.
Local protectionism
There are barriers that prevent the subsidy policy from working effectively, including local protectionism.
In addition to the State subsidy policy, first-tier pilot cities have formulated local subsidy policies, but many of these have been criticized as discriminatory to products made outside of the city.
For example, some may offer tax rebates for producers of these vehicles, but non-local enterprises may be ineligible because they pay no taxes in the area except for sales tax paid by dealers and buyers.
Consequently, regional policies in each area allow support to flow only to locally built models and practically exclude models by non-local manufacturers.
As a leader in China's alternative-energy vehicle market, Shenzhen-based BYD can be taken as an example.
Since trial operations for the model began in 2010, more than 800 BYD E6 electric cars have been added to the local taxi fleets in Shenzhen, according to the latest available statistics.
The E6 has officially entered the commercial stage, and with accumulated mileage surpassing 12.5 million kilometers, it is one of the world's largest and most successful pilot programs in this field.
However, the model has not been promoted successfully outside Shenzhen because of local restrictions in subsidy policies.
Guangzhou is in the same province as Shenzhen, but in the city, the Nissan Leaf has been selected as the main demonstration model of electric vehicles.
Because the city's subsidies were recently expanded to include hybrids, local automaker Guangqi Toyota was naturally one of the main beneficiaries.
When the local subsidy program was launched last year in Shanghai, the qualified models were the Roewe E50, the Sail Springo, and the Lifan, all of which are locally produced.
The BYD E6 was reportedly unable to enjoy the subsidy policy because it was temporarily not in line with standards in Shanghai.
In Beijing and Hangzhou, the stories are similar.
Only locally manufactured models like the Foton in Beijing and Zotye in Zhejiang can benefit from the subsidy policy.
Therefore, local protection is a major obstacle restricting the popularization of green vehicles. It is also one of the main reasons for the slow development of the alternative-energy vehicle market in various cities.
If the central government's subsidies continue to be used alongside local subsidies with a protectionist tendency, a major side effect will be fragmentation of the market, while the commercial prospects of alternative-energy vehicles will remain uncertain.

However, Tesla in China is just open for reservation, and it is still uncertain when it is allowed to do business in China, and how is the market going at that moment. The uncertainty based on three aspects: how Tesla solves its brand squatting, when it passes Chinese government approval procedure and whether it is able to break dim market performance for new energy vehicles.Tuosule Auto Sales Ltd. is found by Tesla in China. The first experience store is located in Beijing. According to Beijing Industry and Commerce Bureau information, Tesla registers Tuosule on November 7, 2012. Register capital is 2 million US dollar. And legal representative is Deepak Anuja, CFO of Tesla. Its operation time is 30 years.
However, it is still unclear when Tesla opens for business in China. According to approval procedure in China, Tesla has to fit the following requirements before it opens for business. The first is founding head sales company in registered location, and then set local distribution companies. Secondly, the company products have to pass 3C certification test, environment protest test and Inspection and Quarantine Center of State Administration of Quality Supervision business test. The third, applying for import automobile certification for Automobile Dept. of Commercial Ministry. The last is Lithium battery Certification.
As reporter known from New Energy Automobile Test Center in Shanghai, Tesla has applied 3C certification last year, and the test is almost finished. However, staff of Automobile Dept. of Commercial Ministry told reporter that the dept. has not received Tesla application for import automobile certification and the company has not filed up to now.
Musk, founder of Tesla, told media during interview that Tesla will be sold at the same price all around the world, but only extra for transportation and tax. At present, Tesla Model S price is around 70 to 100 thousand US dollar. If the model is sold in China, price should include 25% import tax, 17% VAT & consume tax. Therefore, the price should be around 600 to 850 thousand Yuan.
Tesla is still researching for vehicle configuration, price and selling location in China. Besides, how to charging the vehicle is another problem for potential buyers. In USA, Musk can build charging station by his company. However, companies such as State Grid monopolizes charging station build in China.
Tesla experience store staff is not worried about the charging problem. “First, buyers of Tesla normally are rich. They will not have any charging problem bothering them in their houses. Besides, Models S has 500 km range after one charging, which means it is able to drive for couple of days. ”
