  • Development & Policy Forecast for Global and Chinese NEV Markets
    Development & Policy Forecast for Global and Chinese NEV Markets in 2021 Invited by China EV 100, officials and experts from domestic and foreign government agencies, industry associations, research institutions and businesses attended the 7th China EV 100 Forum in January 15-17, 2021. The summary below captures the observations and insight of the speakers at the forum on the industry trend and policy forecast in the world and China in 2021. Ⅰ. 2021 Global & China Auto Market Trend 1. In 2021, the global auto market may resume growth, and the NEV boom is set to continue. 2020 saw a prevalent downturn of the auto sector in major countries due to the onslaught of COVID-19, yet the sales of NEVs witnessed a spike despite the odds, with much greater penetration in various countries. The monthly penetration of electric vehicles in Germany jumped from 7% to 20% in half a year and is expected to hit 12% in 2020, up 220% year on year; Norway reported an 80% market share of EVs in November, which is projected to exceed 70% for the whole year, topping the global ranking. Multiple consultancy firms foresee a comeback of global sales growth and a continuance of NEV boom in 2021 as coronavirus eases. 2. China's auto market as a whole is expected to remain stable in 2021, 1 with a strong boost in NEV sales. In 2020, China spearheaded global NEV market growth with record sales of 1.367 million units. The Development Research Center of the State Council expects overall auto sales to grow slightly in 2021, which ranges 0-2%.

  • Chapter 2 China's Cars and Parts
    Chapter 2 China’s cars and parts: development of an industry and strategic focus on Europe Peter Pawlicki and Siqi Luo 1. Introduction Initially, Chinese investments – across all industries in Europe – especially acquisitions of European companies were discussed in a relatively negative way. Politicians, trade unionists and workers, as well as industry representatives feared the sell-off and the subsequent rapid drainage of industrial capabilities – both manufacturing and R&D expertise – and with this a loss of jobs. However, with time, coverage of Chinese investments has changed due to good experiences with the new investors, as well as the sheer number of investments. Europe saw the first major wave of Chinese investments right after the financial crisis in 2008–2009 driven by the low share prices of European companies and general economic decline. However, Chinese investments worldwide as well as in Europe have not declined since, but have been growing and their strategic character strengthening. Chinese investors acquiring European companies are neither new nor exceptional anymore and acquired companies have already gained some experience with Chinese investors. The European automotive industry remains one of the most important investment targets for Chinese companies. As in Europe the automotive industry in China is one of the major pillars of its industry and its recent industrial upgrading dynamics. Many of China’s central industrial policy strategies – Sino-foreign joint ventures and trading market for technologies – have been established with the aim of developing an indigenous car industry with Chinese car OEMs. These instruments have also been transferred to other industries, such as telecommunications equipment.

By way of comparison, the S&P 500 was up approximately 0.6% while the Russell 2000 was up approximately 0.7%.

As always, investors will receive the fund’s exact performance figures from its outside administrator within a week or two; meanwhile I continue to waive the annual management fee until the entire fund regains its high- water mark. The fund was absolutely massacred this month, and it was primarily due to our large short position in Tesla, to which I added on each new piece of negative news, much of which was indicative of the kind of outright fraud (see below) that would immediately send a “normal stock” into a death spiral, and yet for most of the month Tesla’s stock kept levitating.

  • Automotive Manager Foreword
    2019 THE OLIVER WYMAN AUTOMOTIVE MANAGER FOREWORD IDEAS TURN INTO STRUCTURAL CHANGE Dear Readers, Several revolutionary ideas shaped the development of the automotive industry over the past decade, but until recently none had reached mass market status. Now, the thoughts show signs of turning into reality and unleashing unprecedented change on the industry and on people’s way of moving. This year’s Automotive Manager maps out the most exciting areas of structural change. Electric vehicles are overcoming users’ doubts over their practicality, as batteries become cheaper and their range increases. So far, they have taken off in one small European market, Norway, and sales are increasing in China. We explain why they are about to become a mass product elsewhere. New models of use such as car-sharing and ride-hailing are gaining popularity in cities throughout the world, and still others, such as car subscription, are being invented and rolled out. The flow of investment funds points to the most promising areas. In an interview, Oliver Blume, CEO of Porsche AG, told us that the company systematically scouts the international startup scene for innovative technologies and business models that will provide it with external expertise. The market changes are expected to shake the industry’s foundations. Most of the evolving products depend heavily on digital technology, leading to cooperative relationships with new partners. There are also signs of a shift in industry power to China, by far the biggest producer of electric cars and a leader in lithium-ion battery technology. The new technologies will have less-obvious impacts too.
