China ist das Autoland Nummer eins Gerade bestätigten neue Zahlen einmal mehr diese Entwicklung: Während die  Autokonzerne in den vergangenen Jahren in Europa und in Amerika mit heftigen  Einbußen kämpfen mussten, kann der Markt in der Volksrepublik China vor Kraft  kaum laufen. So haben die Autoverkäufe im Reich der Mitte im Oktober um mehr  als 70  Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahresmonat zugelegt und damit auch  ausländischen Herstellern zu einem ordentlichen Absatzschub verholfen.  Sagenhafte 1 ,2  Millionen neue Autos fanden im Oktober in der Volksrepublik  einen neuen Besitzer, wie der chinesische Herstellerverband mitteilte. In den  ersten zehn Monaten des Jahres wurden damit in China fast 10 ,9  Millionen Autos  verkauft ? das ist ein Plus von fast 40 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Der  Herstellerverband rechnet mit insgesamt zwölf Millionen verkauften Pkw in  diesem Jahr.  Damit verfestigt sich ein Trend, der mit dem großen chinesischen  Konjunkturprogramm zum Jahresende 2008  begonnen hatte: Im Januar hatte China die USA als größter Autoabsatzmarkt abgelöst. Von der hohen Nachfrage nach  Autos profitieren auch die ausländischen Hersteller, die in China in  Gemeinschaftsunternehmen mit chinesischen Firmen produzieren. Die Opel- Mutter General Motors (GM) etwa verkaufte im Oktober rund  167.000  Autos und  damit doppelt so viele wie im Oktober vorigen Jahres, wie das Unternehmen in  Shanghai mitteilte. China hat also einmal mehr seine Vitalität unter Beweis  gestellt.

"Dongfeng Motor Group '09 profit up 58% to $915 mln

Shanghai, April 14 (Gasgoo.com) Dongfeng Motor Group Co. (0489.HK) said today that its profit rose 58% last year to 6.25 billion yuan ($915 million) as vehicle sales were boosted by government incentives, Bloomberg reported.

Dongfeng Motor Group, a Chinese partner of PSA Peugeot-Citroen, Honda Motor and Nissan Motor, boosted sales of vehicles by 44% in 2009 to 1.9 million units, with sales of passenger cars growing 45.6% to 1.05 million. Sales at its joint venture with PSA jumped 52% to 270,006 cars.

"The sales growth of Dongfeng's PSA Peugeot venture, which was previously the weak point for the group, helped beef up Dongfeng's 2009 profit," a Hong Kong-based analyst said. "Dongfeng will continue to grow this year in line with the market expansion."

Dongfeng and Honda have decided to invest 1.15 billion yuan to build a second plant for their joint venture in China as vehicle demand rises in the Chinese auto market. The factory will start production by late 2012, with an initial capacity of 60,000 units.

Last year, China overtook the United States to become the world's largest auto market, with sales rising 46% 13.6 million vehicles, after the government cut sales taxes for small cars and offered subsidies to rural auto buyers.

Dongfeng Motor Group's passenger car sales last month grew 60.94% from a year earlier to 34,100 units and output increased 74.07% to 31,400 units."

"Dongfeng Motor expects chances for overseas M&A

Shanghai, April 14 (Gasgoo.com) China's major automaker Dongfeng Motor Group Co (0489.HK) expects to have opportunities for mergers and acquisitions in the global auto sector that is still reeling from the fallout of the global recession, Reuters reported today.

"The company will closely monitor opportunities for overseas acquisitions," Xu Ping, chairman of the Hong Hong-listed company of Dongfeng Motor Corp, told reporters in a news conference on today.

Xu added that the possible appreciation of China's currency, the yuan, would further strengthen Dongfeng's position in making any acquisitions. The Chinese yuan is believed to see it value rise again in the next few months. And some Chinese auto companies hope to "go global" by M&A.

Dongfeng Motor, the Chinese joint venture partner of Nissan Motor, Honda Motor and PSA Peugeot Citroen, is also ready to follow suit after China's largest private automaker Geely Holding Group signed a definitive deal late last month to buy the Volvo car unit from Ford Motor.

Dongfeng Motor Group's profit rose 58% last year to 6.25 billion yuan ($915 million) as vehicle sales were boosted by government incentives. Its sales grew by 44% in 2009 to 1.9 million vehicles, with sales of passenger cars up 45.6% to 1.05 million."

"PSA Peugeot plans to build third Dongfeng JV plant

Shanghai, May 7 (Gasgoo.com) French carmaker PSA Peugeot is still committed to building a third plant for its Chinese venture with Dongfeng Motor Group to accelerate expansion in the world's largest auto market, Reuters reported today.

PSA Peugeot aims to sell about 400,000 cars in China this year, approaching the annual capacity of 450,000 units of the current two facilities it operates with its Chinese partner Dongfeng Motor in Wuhan, eastern China.

"PSA and Dongfeng are both committed to our third China plant. We are still discussing the details of the new facility with our partner," said a PSA executive.

The joint venture, Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile Company Ltd., sold 120,300 cars in the first four months of this year, up 63% from a year earlier, he said.

The French automaker has set a target to sell 2 million vehicles annually in China by 2020, raising the company's share in the Chinese market to 10% from the current 3.5%.

Earlier this week, PSA Peugeot signed an initial agreement with Changan Automotive Group to form a 50-50 vehicle-manufacturing venture, its second JV in China.

The new venture may use Changan subsidiary Hafei Auto's existing plant in the southern city of Shenzhen to make light commercial vehicles and passenger cars."

The president of Dongfeng Motor Co., a joint venture in China between Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Co. and China's Dongfeng group, expressed a desire Friday to produce electric vehicles there.

Dongfeng Motor is Nissan's 50-50 venture with the Dongfeng group.

While hinting at a possibility of teaming up with a Chinese parts maker if the company starts producing the car in China, Nakamura avoided specifying any timing that the automaker would start production.

"We'd like to study (the timing) by looking into sales volume and government measures to boost car purchases," Nakamura said.

Meanwhile, Nakamura said new car sales in China are likely to top 15 million vehicles this year, and added the automaker aims to achieve a 2010 sales target of 1 million units by November."

Dongfeng showed off the fantastic Tai Concept Car at the Beijing Auto Show, although it seemed to be fairly a demure stand at Dongfeng which mostly showed off their joint venture produced wares instead of their self produced vehicles.

The Tai Concepet car was Dongfeng?s shot at bringing their own brand upmarket, which is something that most Chinese makers are aiming to produce over the next few months to explore new markets, both Chery, Geely and Hawtai are aiming for this segment, whilst Dongfeng are playing catch up.

Out of the major state owned automakers, Dongfeng is certainly slipping behind in their ability to launch their own branded cars. FAW and SAIC are already leading the way with their self developed B50/B70 and MG6/Roewe 550 models, Dongfeng is not the only late comer though, Guangzhou Auto is on the verge of building its own cars and so are Beijing Auto but the difference here is that Beijing and Guangzhou Auto are using tried and tested platforms in the form of the Saab platforms and the Alfa-Romeo platforms, but it appears that Dongfeng are quite content with using the Citroen ZX platform for their S30 sedan.

The future does not bode well for Dongfeng if they plan to go global."

Among them, sales of Fengxing Joyear (Jingyi) had a year-on-year growth of 94%, much higher than the overall growth of the domestic passenger car market. Joyear enjoyed particular popularity in Shenzhen.

It is understood that Joyear is a vibrant MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) model. Its excellent all-round properties cater to people's various car needs in daily journey, traveling, business reception and the like. It enhanced life's richness.

The 2010 Joyear uses a reinforced chassis, which provides protection to the fuel tank when it is running on a bumpy road so as to improve the whole car's performance.

Besides, the 2010 Joyear adopts as many as 15 key NVH technologies. NVH refers to noise, vibration and harshness, three standards for evaluating the comfort level of a car. Joyear boosts its comfort level by optimizing dust proofing equipment, strengthening the stiffness of its suspension system and perfecting its heat and noise insulation design.

In additional to the booming market in Shenzhen, Joyear is also a sought-after car in other areas. Tao Liwen, general manager of the marketing department in Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd, said Joyear's approximately 100% growth rate is attributed to its stabilized quality, coupled with the changes of lifestyle brought about by Chinese economic development."
