  • Q&A for FY 2021 Financial Results and Mid-Term Business Plan 2024
    Q&A for FY 2021 Financial Results and Mid-Term Business Plan 2024 Q&A concerning FY2022 outlook Q. Sales units in FY 2022 full year outlook indicate a very large volume. How much volume is anticipated as a stretch target? Please explain the details including the market status by region and inventory optimization status. A. In the first half of FY2021, the sales units were greatly reduced due to COVID-19 pandemic impact. In FY 2022 ending March 2023, the forecasted volume is larger than the sales volume in FY 2021 ended in March 2021 in each segment. For overseas CV business, the sales units have already been on a recovery trend in markets such as Vietnam, Australia, Russia, and Kenya based on the pre-COVID level. Furthermore, sales units are expected to recover in North America and Malaysia in FY 2022. In addition, inventory levels in markets are getting low as sales have been recovering, for which inventories need to be replenished. Backed by these factors, we are expecting a record high volume. For LCVs, the inventory level is low in Thailand, and new pickup trucks (PUPs) are positively received in Australia, which are the reasons why a large sales volume is estimated in the outlook. Thus, it is not particularly a stretch target. Q. Please tell us your outlook for the impact of semiconductor shortage. A. The situation is in flux where the order is confirmed only for the next two weeks’ supply for both CVs and LCVs. Reduction in production is a risk factor for both CVs and LCVs mainly in the first half of FY 2022.

  • Suzuki Announces FY2019 Vehicle Recycling Results in Japan
    22 June 2020 Suzuki Announces FY2019 Vehicle Recycling Results in Japan Suzuki Motor Corporation has today announced the results of vehicle recycling for FY2019 (April 2019 to March 2020) in Japan, based on the Japan Automobile Recycling Law*1. In line with the legal mandate, Suzuki is responsible for promoting appropriate treatment and recycling of automobile shredder residue (ASR), airbags, and fluorocarbons through recycling fee deposited from customers. Recycling of these materials are appropriately, smoothly, and efficiently conducted by consigning the treatment to Japan Auto Recycling Partnership as for airbags and fluorocarbons, and to Automobile Shredder Residue Recycling Promotion Team*2 as for ASR. The total cost of recycling these materials was 3,640 million yen. Recycling fees and income generated from the vehicle-recycling fund totalled 4,150 million yen, contributing to a net surplus of 510 million yen. For the promotion of vehicle recycling, Suzuki contributed a total of 370 million yen from the above net surplus, to the Japan Foundation for Advanced Auto Recycling, and 20 million yen for the advanced recycling business of the Company. For the mid-and long-term, Suzuki continues to make effort in stabilising the total recycling costs. Moreover, besides the recycling costs, the Company bears 120 million yen as management-related cost of Japan Automobile Recycling Promotion Center and recycling-related cost of ASR. The results of collection and recycling of the materials are as follows. 1. ASR - 60,388.3 tons of ASR were collected from 450,662 units of end-of-life vehicles - Recycling rate was 96.7%, exceeding the legal target rate of 70% set in FY2015 since FY2008 2.
