Transport Equipment Business 1/2 Transport Equipment Business 1/2 Nabtesco Operating Review Transport Equipment Business Fiscal 2012 Highlights Net sales in the Transport Equipment Business fell 8.3% year on year to ¥44,262 million, while operating income shrank 30.6% year on year to ¥4,214 million. Sales of railroad vehicle equipment saw a decline due to a seasonally driven lack of new vehicle launches in the domestic market as well as a decrease in sales to China. Sales of commercial vehicle equipment rose, reflecting growing demand for trucks in emerging countries. Marine vessels equipment sales fell on the back of a stagnant vessel market. In December 2012, Nabtesco established a joint venture with Minda Industries, Ltd. in India. The joint venture aims to strengthen the commercial vehicle equipment business in India. In March 2013, Nabtesco acquired OCLAP S.R.L. (Italy). Going forward, Nabtesco intends to expand sales in Europe, including sales of the new electric-driven door operating system and other products. In April 2013, Nabtesco established a production base for marine vessels equipment in Shanghai, China. The base will support further promotion of sales in the Chinese market. Outlook for Fiscal 2013 For fiscal 2013, Nabtesco is expecting net sales in the Transport Equipment Business of ¥48,700 million, up 10.0% year on year, and operating income of ¥5,300 million, up 25.8%. Sales of railroad vehicle equipment will increase, reflecting the recovery of sales to China and the launch of new vehicles in the domestic market. Marine vessels equipment sales are expected to decline due to the impact of stagnant vessel demand at home and abroad. Sales of commercial vehicle equipment are forecasted to grow due to expanded external demand for trucks, mainly from Southeast Asian markets.

  • 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.

    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.

  • The Volvo Group Creates Business Area Dedicated to Accelerating Electrification
    P R E S S R E L E A S E The Volvo Group creates business area dedicated to accelerating electrification The new business area Volvo Energy will strengthen the Volvo Group’s business flow of batteries over the life cycle as well as the customer offer for charging infrastructure. At the same time, the environmental impact from electric and hybrid electric commercial vehicles and machines will be reduced by giving used batteries a second life in different applications. “There is a great and growing interest for electric vehicles and machines among our customers. This is of course very positive as it accelerates the transition towards more sustainable transport solutions. Our ambition is to offer our customers the most competitive solutions when it comes to electrification, including batteries and charging infrastructure. With Volvo Energy, we are taking a holistic view of the entire life cycle, which benefits both our customers’ business and society as a whole, says Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO. Already today, the Volvo Group’s offer of electric vehicles and machines ranges from city buses and trucks for waste management, construction and urban distribution to compact excavators and loaders. The roll-out of additional, electric vehicles and related services will continue with high pace and later this year, it will also include e.g. heavy-duty trucks for regional transports or construction. Volvo Energy will be a business area with full profit and loss responsibility. It will have both an internal role, providing batteries and charging solutions to the Volvo Group’s other business areas, and an external role, offering used, remanufactured and refurbished batteries to customers for use across different applications.

This paper classifies parts-supply keiretsu into (1) Toyota suppliers and non-Toyota suppliers and (2) Nissan suppliers and non-Nissan suppliers and then conducts a comparative analysis of the suppliers to test differences in (a) firm performance, (b) customer scope, and (c) product diversity. The following results emerge from the analysis: (a) in regard to “firm performance (return on sales),” Toyota suppliers outperformed non-Toyota suppliers, but there was no difference between Nissan suppliers and non-Nissan suppliers; (b) with respect to “customer scope,” both Toyota suppliers and Nissan suppliers outperformed non-Toyota suppliers and non-Nissan suppliers, respectively; (c) as for “product diversity,” Toyota suppliers have less product diversity than non-Toyota suppliers, but there was no difference between Nissan suppliers and non-Nissan suppliers. These results indicate that the strategic behavior of Toyota suppliers differs from that of Nissan suppliers in that Toyota suppliers achieve high profitability by broadening customer scope and simultaneously narrowing product a) Graduate School of Economics, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] A version of this paper was presented at the ABAS Conference 2019 Autumn (Min, 2019).
