    #DeliveryToEnjoy Online reservations of the SEAT Mii by Mango on Amazon.fr with delivery in 72 hours a complete success / At the end of the campaign a total of 24 exclusive units of the SEAT Mii by Mango were sold / Customers could easily reserve their car on www.deliverytoenjoy.fr and receive it at their home 72 hours later Martorell/Paris, 08/12/2016. - The #DeliveryToEnjoy campaign launched by SEAT on Amazon.fr, where 15 units of the SEAT Mii by Mango were made available by reservation, exceeded both brands’ sales targets and expectations. The exclusive promotion, enabling customers and users to reserve a car directly via Amazon.fr and receive it at their home in just 72 hours, ended with 24 units sold. The enthusiasm generated by the campaign among Internet users was the reason for pushing back the deadline and offering more units for sale. The goal of the campaign was to provide customers with a shopping experience that is unique, easy, innovative and fast, via a fully online procedure and quick, digital delivery and payment solutions. The positive response to #DeliveryToEnjoy reflects consumers’ new demands and shopping habits as they increasingly begin an online search when they think about purchasing a car. The campaign, which was scheduled to end on 30 October, remained active for a month longer than expected, generating sales of 24 exclusive Mii cars instead of the initial 15, thanks to the success of the initiative. The campaign involved an easy method for customers to reserve and purchase an exclusive Mii by Mango Limited Edition car by making a €500 deposit on Amazon.fr.

  • SK Deputy Minister for Transport and Construction Replies to EMIS
    A 000130 04.01.2017 Committee of Inquiry into Emission Measurements in the Automotive Sector Written questions to Mr. Viktor Stromček - Deputy Minister for Transport and Construction , Slovakia No. Question 1. What level of priority is given to the emission scandal and the on-going type-approval reform by Slovakia as the Member State currently holding the EU rotating presidency? The investigation into the emission scandal is important for the Slovak Republic. This affair is being actively monitored even though the Slovak Republic has not started its own investigation yet. The Ministry of Transport and Construction (hereinafter “the Ministry”), as the type-approval authority, is in contact with the importers of the offending vehicle models, namely VW, ŠKODA, SEAT and AUDI, and is assessing the number of vehicles which have been recalled for corrective servicing. Type-approval reform is envisaged in a draft regulation to cover type-approval of motor vehicles and of their trailers, systems, components and separate technical units for these vehicles, and for market surveillance of these vehicles. The draft regulation introduces no new type-approval processes, but instead new procedures related to independent technical services and market surveillance. Likewise, it introduces new tools and processes to cover cases such as the aforementioned emission scandal. The Slovak Republic supports type-approval reform. However, not all aspects of the new draft regulation proposed by the European Union would bring the desired effect. Rather it would cause an additional administrative burden. We believe that cases such as the emission scandal should be prevented at the earliest stages, as such prior to granting type-approval, for example through a better vehicle testing methodology, and not retrospectively after vehicles, which have failed to meet established requirements, have already either appeared in the market or been sold to customers and registered.

With a population of just 5.4 million people, Slovakia now has three car factories (Volkswagen, PSA concern and Kia) and is very soon to have four – investment by Jaguar Land Rover has already been approved with investment worth 1.4 billion to follow. Today the automotive industry directly or indirectly employs 250,000 Slovaks and represents 44% of total Slovak industrial production, with last year a great one for the Slovaks – more than a million cars rolled off their production belts. With the highest number of industrial robots united under one roof, VW SK factory operates as a car body shop for AudiQ7 SUV and it has the highest level of automation based on industry 4.0 principles. At the moment, another state­of­the­art body making facility which will be dedicated to Porsche Cayenne SUV is under construction in the VW Slovakia factory.

With three operating original equipment manufacturer plants, fourth expected to start production within the coming two years and the innovative network of various suppliers the Slovak automotive industry belongs to the strongest destinations in not only manufacturing, but also continuously building its innovation force. Investors are opting for Slovakia because of the quick solutions they get in the field of administrative matters and bureaucracy, as well as for the quality of the workforce, which is educated and has a long industrial and automotive tradition.
