(Page 1 of 3) J.D. Power Asia Pacific Reports: Initial Quality With J.D. Power Asia Pacific Reports: Initial Quality with Domestic Brands in China Improves Significantly, Narrowing the Gap with International Brands Lexus and Mercedes-Benz Rank Highest in Initial Quality in a Tie; Beijing Hyundai and Shanghai General Motors Each Receive Two Model-Level Awards SHANGHAI: 31 October 2013 — Domestic automakers are making strides in improving vehicle initial quality, as Chinese brands significantly narrow the gap with international brands helping drive the overall industry average problem rate in China to a record low, according to the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2013 China Initial Quality StudySM (IQS) released today. The study, now in its 14th year, examines problems experienced by new-vehicle owners within the first two to six months of ownership in two distinct categories: design-related problems and defects and malfunctions. The overall initial quality score is determined by problems reported per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower rate of problem incidence indicating higher quality. Overall initial quality of domestic brands improves to 155 PP100 in 2013, a significant decrease of 57 PP100 from 2012. Initial quality of international brands also improves year over year, to 104 PP100 in 2013 from 117 PP100 in 2012. The gap is quality scores between domestic brands and international brands has narrowed to 51 PP100 in 2013 from 95 PP100 in 2012. The improvement of Chinese domestic brands is largely driven by a significant reduction in the number of problems related to the engine/ transmission and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, each decreasing by 12 PP100. “Chinese domestic brands achieve tremendous improvement in vehicle quality in 2013, with four domestic brands—GAC Motor, Venucia, Roewe and Luxgen1—performing above industry average,” said Dr. Mei Songlin, vice president and managing director of J.D. Power China. “We have seen the gap with international brands continually narrow during the past 14 years from 396 PP100 in 2000.” Overall initial quality across the industry averages 119 PP100 in 2013, which represents the lowest number of problems since the inception of the study in 2000. When examining initial quality by country of manufacturer origin, Korean brands have the highest overall initial quality with an average of 85 PP100, which is an 8 PP100 improvement from 2012. Japanese brands average 104 PP100 and improve by 9 PP100 from 2012. European and U.S. brands each average108 PP100, with improvements of 11 PP100 and 28 PP100, respectively, from 2012. 1 No domestic brand exceeded industry average in the J.D.

Power Asia Pacific 2013 China Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Study,SM initial quality is the most important driver of purchase decisions by new-vehicle buyers. The 2013 China IQS finds that among owners who experience no problems with their vehicle, 36 percent say they “definitely will” recommend their brand to others, while 18 percent say they “definitely will” repurchase the brand. In contrast, among owners who experience more than one problem with their vehicle, the rates of those who say they “definitely will” recommend and repurchase decline to 25 percent and 12 percent, respectively. “To further improve initial quality, automakers should focus on the most frequently reported problems among Chinese vehicle owners, such as issues regarding fuel efficiency and various noise problems,” said Tony Zhou, automotive research director at J.D. Power China. Excessive fuel consumption has remained the most frequently reported problem since 2007. New- vehicle owners in China tend to be particularly sensitive to noise problems; with brake noise and excessive wind noise the second- and third-most-frequently reported problems. Abnormal engine noises and tires—excessive road noises are also among the most frequently reported problems. 2013 China IQS Ranking Highlights Lexus and Mercedes-Benz tie for highest-ranked nameplates in the study, averaging 52 PP100 each. Subaru (64 PP100) ranks third, followed by Volkswagen (66 PP100) and BMW (67 PP100). The model-level rankings show considerable global diversity. Among the 213 models examined in the study, two models from Beijing Hyundai (Hyundai Verna and Hyundai Sonata) and two from U.S. brand Shanghai General Motors (Chevrolet Sail and Buick GL8) rank highest in their respective segments. Receiving one award each are Japanese brands Toyota (Toyota Corolla EX) and Subaru (Subaru Forester); German brands BMW (BMW X1) and Mercedes-Benz (Mercedes-Benz E-Class); and Chinese domestic brands BYD (BYD F0) and Changan (Changan Star 2). In total, 10 vehicle segments are eligible for awards in the 2013 China IQS. Models ranking highest overall in their respective segments are: Compact: BYD F0 Premium Compact: Chevrolet Sail Entry Midsize: Hyundai Verna Midsize: Toyota Corolla EX Upper Premium Midsize: Hyundai Sonata Luxury: Mercedes-Benz E-Class SUV: Subaru Forester Luxury SUV: BMW X1 MPV: Buick GL8 Mini Van: Changan Star 2 The 2013 China Initial Quality Study (IQS) is based on evaluations from 21,181 owners of new vehicles purchased between October 2012 and June 2013. The study analyzes models in 12 vehicle segments and includes 213 different passenger-vehicle models from 65 different brands. The study was fielded from April to August 2013 in 46 major cities across China. About J.D. Power Asia Pacific J.D.

    Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Automobility in China Dr. Toni Marzotto “The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.” (Chinese Proverb)1 Title: The Rise of China's Auto Industry: Automobility with Chinese Characteristics Curriculum Project: The project is part of an interdisciplinary course taught in the Political Science Department entitled: The Machine that Changed the World: Automobility in an Age of Scarcity. This course looks at the effects of mass motorization in the United States and compares it with other countries. I am teaching the course this fall; my syllabus contains a section on Chinese Innovations and other global issues. This project will be used to expand this section. Grade Level: Undergraduate students in any major. This course is part of Towson University’s new Core Curriculum approved in 2011. My focus in this course is getting students to consider how automobiles foster the development of a built environment that comes to affect all aspects of life whether in the U.S., China or any country with a car culture. How much of our life is influenced by the automobile? We are what we drive! Objectives and Student Outcomes: My objective in teaching this interdisciplinary course is to provide students with an understanding of how the invention of the automobile in the 1890’s has come to dominate the world in which we live. Today an increasing number of individuals, across the globe, depend on the automobile for many activities. Although the United States was the first country to embrace mass motorization (there are more cars per 1000 inhabitants in the United States than in any other country in the world), other countries are catching up.

Outlook Revised To Negative On Weakening Sales; 'A-' Ratings Affirmed 22-Aug-2017 03:26 EDT View Analyst Contact Information We expect BAG may see a material decline in annual groupwide sales vol ume in 2017 as a result of increasing market competition, unsatisfact ory execution, and reduced product appeal. We expect BAG's reliance on Benz to increase further, given an expect ed full-year net loss at BAG's proprietary brand and reduction in Hyu ndai dividend. We are revising our outlook on BAG to negative from stable. At the sam e time, we are affirming our 'A-' long-term corporate credit rating o n the Chinese automaker. The negative outlook reflects our expectation of sustained intense co mpetition, leading to difficulty in material near-term improvement of its proprietary brand and performance of the Hyundai JV.

  • New-Vehicle Owners in China Tend to Spend at Non-Dealers Despite Warranty, J.D
    New-Vehicle Owners in China Tend to Spend at Non-Dealers despite Warranty, J.D. Power Finds Audi, Beijing Hyundai Rank Highest in Customer Satisfaction in Respective Segments BEIJING: 27 July 2017 — Vehicle owners in China often turn to non-dealers in the early stages of ownership even when most vehicles are still under warranty, according to the J.D. Power 2017 China Customer Service Index (CSI) Study,SM released today. Owners of 1- to 4-year-old vehicles have made an average of 3.2 visits to dealers and 0.9 to non-dealers for service in the past year. Among new-vehicle owners who indicate having spent on non-dealer service, 71% have visited non-dealers for service over the past 12 months in spite of warranty. Their expenditures on service at dealers and non-dealers in the past year is very close—an average of RMB2,450; USD362 and RMB2,098; USD310, respectively. Car service chain stores and street quick-service centers, which combined account for 66% of all non-dealer service, have become the primary competitors to dealerships. In addition to convenience of location (43%), other top reasons for visiting non-dealers for service include open on convenient days/hours (23%); recommendation from a friend or relative (23%); and speedy service (21%). New-vehicle owners visit non-dealers mainly for such services as lube/ oil/ filter change (40%); other routine maintenance (33%); emergency repairs (24%); and non-emergency repairs (22%). “These reasons are closely associated with service quality and customers’ satisfaction,” said Ann Xie, senior research director at J.D.

We would also like to express our sincere thanks for the valuable advice and recommendations provided by distinguished experts and colleagues. Authors Liping Kang, Ding Ye, Maya Ben Dror, Feng An The Innovation Center for Energy and Transportation (iCET) Beijing Fortune Plaza Tower A Suite 7H, No.7 DongSanHuan Middle Rd., Chaoyang District, Beijing 100020 Tel: 010 -65857324 Fax: 010- 65857394 [email protected] www.icet.org.cn 2 Executive summary China's passenger vehicle production and sales reached over 18 million units in 2013, which marked China’s fifth consecutive year as the world's biggest auto market with an increase of 16.5%1over the previous year. Imported cars totaled 1.2 million units, which marked an annual increase of approximately 7.3%. Mandatory fuel economy standards have delivered an average of about 3% in fuel savings globally, which resulted in GHG emissions and air pollution reduction2. Unsurprisingly, in September 2013, several Chinese national and local level officials declared waragainstair pollution, where transportation was identified as one of seven key target sectors and was in some cases noted to account for as much as 31% of urban PM2.53. China started implementing the first phase of its fuel economy standards in July 2005. Since then, it has introduced three more phases: extending the standard to include fuel consumption targets, corporate average fuel consumption targets and limits, and imported vehicles management (in preparation for including imported cars under the standard).

  • China Light Vehicle Sales Update
    July 2018 China Light Vehicle Sales Update H1 2018: A Synopsis China’s Passenger Vehicle (PV) sales in June increased by 1.5% year-on-year (YoY) to 1.91 mn units, while the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) sector improved by 20.8% YoY. This led to growth of 3.8% YoY for the overall Light Vehicle (LV) market, on total sales of 2.22 mn units for the month. LV production was up by 6.5% in June, leading to year-to-date (YTD) growth of 3.9%. The CADA dealer inventory index stood at 1.93 at the end of June, 21% up on May and 10% up compared to the same month last year. The rate was above the warning line of 1.5 and much higher than the average level seen in the same timeframe over the last six years. However, the retail side of the market has not performed as well as the wholesale side. Insurance data illustrate that the gap between wholesales and retail sales of domestically produced vehicles widened to 1.30 mn units in the first five months of the year, equivalent to 15.4% of total retail sales in May 2018 YTD. In the first half (H1) of 2018, PV wholesales increased by 5.4% YoY. In terms of the three main market segments, the recent strong momentum seen in the SUV market slowed down in H1 to +9%, compared +17% YoY in H1 2017. In contrast, Car sales rose by 6% YoY in the first half of this year, following a 3% YoY decline in 2017 as a whole.
