At the time of the financial turmoil that hit the auto industry, SAIC and Dongfeng turned against the market for light commercial vehicles. Experts predict that the relaunch of the urban logistics market led by the expansion of domestic demand and the support of the national policies for the rural market are the reason for the predictable layout of these enterprises.
Dongfeng and Nissan increase capital by 1 billion
At the end of last month, Dongfeng and Nissan once again promoted cooperation and the two companies jointly invested RMB 1 billion to build the foundation of the second plant of Zhengzhou Nissan. This means that Dongfeng and Nissan will launch a full-scale attack on China's light commercial vehicle sector two years later.
After the completion of the factory, Zhengzhou Nissan, as an important production base, will become an important part of Nissan's global commercial vehicle development. Zhengzhou's Nissan production capacity will not only increase from the current 80,000 to 200,000. By 2012, Zhengzhou Nissan will produce at least five new Nissan and Dongfeng brand light commercial vehicles. Nissan LCV (light commercial vehicle) business in China, Okazaki Harumi said that in the Nissan plan, Zhengzhou Nissan will assume 20% to 25% of Nissan's global LCV business.
SAIC "Oka" aims at domestic and overseas markets
In the evening of the Dongfeng Layout Light Commercial Vehicles, SAIC's commercial vehicle strategy also went deeper, and they leaned heavily on Nanfang Iveco, Nanjing Automobile's most profitable asset.
At the end of September, Nanjing Iveco Leaped into Europe to be the first to be listed in Shanghai. This is a 6-month improvement project after SAIC acquired Nanjing Auto. For such preparations, Nanjing Iveco's general manager Zhou Liang explained that Yuejin Eurocard will meet the requirements of the European truck standard and adapt to the Chinese market price, and establish the “State III light truck new coordinatesâ€.
Xiao Guopu, Vice President of SAIC Motor and General Manager of Commercial Vehicles Division stated that Nanjing Iveco's light commercial vehicle business is an important part of SAIC's commercial vehicle strategy. SAIC will support Nanjing Iveco in terms of funding, technology, manpower, and channels, especially Yuejin continued the development of the light truck business.
Zhou Liang, general manager of Nanjing Iveco, stated that “the light truck is the largest share of the commercial vehicle segment market, and Oka will become one of the main products for expanding the domestic commercial vehicle market. In the global market, we will also use the parent company IVECO’s The international sales network supports Oka's exports."
Logistics promotes the development of light commercial vehicles
Since May of this year, the Chinese auto market has experienced a continuous decline for four months. When some companies consider reducing production, why did Dongfeng and Nissan aggressively expand their production and chose to promote the development of light commercial vehicles in China?
Due to the early release of user demand in the first half of this year, this year's light-duty card market went up to mid-year with a year-on-year growth of 23%. With the full implementation of the National III standard on July 1, in order to maintain the growth momentum in the first half of the year, light truck companies have successively issued price cards and launched new brands in order to occupy the market.
According to expert analysis, China’s exports have been affected by the global financial crisis and the country has proposed a strategy to expand domestic demand. The just-concluded Third Plenary Session of the 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will, through the decision to promote rural reform and development, make light commercial vehicles more convenient for passengers and goods. Traffic workers have great opportunities for development.
According to Yang Yongzhong, general manager of Yunnei Power, the impact of the financial crisis on the passenger car and heavy truck market will be apparent next year, while the performance of the light truck market will be relatively stable, because the development of the rural market gives greater opportunities to light commercial vehicles.
