  • The Future of Mobility Ride-Hailing and New Businesses to Fuel $7Tn+
    EQUITY RESEARCH | June 4, 2019 | 6:25 AM EDT The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. THE FUTURE OF M BILITY Ride-hailing and new businesses to fuel $7tn+ global mobility market The next 10 years of mobility will bring more change in the way that people and products move than any decade since the invention of the automobile. Emerging technologies and business models like ride-hailing and sharing, autonomous driving and delivery, micro-mobility and even eVTOL (flying cars, finally) stand to disrupt profit pools that we estimate exceed $700bn, and venture backed startups and incumbents will attempt to address over $7tn in spend- ing. Given the size of the opportunity, it should come as no surprise that access to capital has created a hyper competi- tive environment marked by massive operating losses driven by marketing, subsidies, incentives, and capital in- vestment. As this environment matures and rationalizes, we expect consolidation that will lead to profitability, the establishment of category leaders, and significant opportunities for investors. Heath P.

    Carmakers promise Chinese drivers a breath of fresh air 27 April 2014, by Julien Girault last year showcasing a new air-cleaning system that filters out polluting particles and pollen. And Japanese rival Nissan has offered its "Forest AC" system since 2010 in its luxury Infiniti range—which besides filtering the air, can add a hint of leafy aroma to help keep the driver alert. 'Intelligent filtration' Wang Jiran, a visitor to the Beijing auto show, said he now takes a keen interest in whether or not a car has an in-built air purifier.

The grey haze is a familiar sight over Chinese cities, where an explosion of traffic in recent years has further worsened the pollution belched out by booming factories and coal-fired power plants.

  • Technology Drive Sees 'Connected Car' Link-Ups in China 27 Apr 2016 at 13:45
    Technology drive sees 'connected car' link-ups in China 27 Apr 2016 at 13:45 BEIJING - China has the youngest premium car buyers in the world, and their tech-savvy demand for "connected cars" -- coupled with Communist regulations -- is driving international automakers into the arms of the country's Internet giants. Growth is slowing and competition intensifying in the world's number one car market, but it also boasts Mercedes Benz buyers with an average age of 37, and Audi's customers even younger at 36. In contrast, the average Mercedes buyer in the US was over 54, according to IHS Automotive. China's "Internet savvy" cohort is the youngest premium customer group in the world, Hubertus Troska, China chief for Mercedes' parent Daimler, said at the Beijing Auto Show this week. Visitors look at the new Mercedes Benz E- Class Long Wheelbase during the 'Auto China "We really want to be at the forefront of connectivity and telematics 2016', the 14th Beijing International Automotive in this country, so we're going with the best technology that we Exhibition. have," he added. Automakers are racing to offer "connected" car services, which include in-car internet access, entertainment systems, and easy integration with smartphones, traffic lights, and other vehicles. The global market for such connected-car technologies will be worth about 123 billion euros by 2021, according to consultancy PwC. With more than 600 million smartphone users, China's consumers particularly prize such features. As many as 60% of Chinese drivers would switch car brands solely in order to have complete access to data and applications inside their vehicle, according to consultancy McKinsey, compared to only 20 percent of Germans.

    BUSINESS MONDAY, APRIL 21, 2014 In the driving seat China’s yuppies are new market force SHANGHAI/BEIJING: Global automakers are scrambling to meet the demands of China’s young urban professionals, who want a car that makes them stand out, yet don’t always have the money to splurge on a top-end model. After nearly two decades of frenzied growth driven mainly by the very wealthy, China’s auto market is maturing, yet remains ferociously competitive with manufacturers having to react quickly to shifting consumer trends. Today’s emerging buyer has more modest financial means, yet aspires to own a car that’s “different”. People like Zhou Wenxi, a BEIJING: Visitors look at a Ferrari car on display at the China International Exhibition Center BEIJING: A Rolls Royce Ghost extended wheelbase car on display at the China 32-year-old Shanghai cram-school owner, during the “Auto China 2014” Beijing International Automotive Exhibition in Beijing yesterday.
