The Automobile Industry Pocket Guide 2014–2015 THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY POCKEt guide 2014–2015 The Automobile Industry Pocket Guide published by ACEA Communications department Please order your personal copy via [email protected] This paper is made in an environmentally-friendly way and according to FSC certification © ACEA_SEPTEMBER 2014 THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY POCKEt guide 2014–2015 Foreword The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) produces this Pocket Guide annually in order to provide a clear overview of the main characteristics of one of Europe’s key industries. These statistics show an industry that continues to provide employment and mobility for Europe’s citizens, generate tax and trade revenue for governments, and lead the world in terms of innovation. In 2013, around 13.6 million new cars, vans, trucks and buses were registered in the EU. Sales have dropped by over a quarter since the pre-crisis peak in 2007, but things are now gradually improving. With the European economy slowly recovering, ACEA predicts that sales in Europe will recover moderately over the next few years. As one of the cornerstones of Europe’s economy, ACEA is continuing to contribute constructively to discussions with policy makers and other stakeholders in order to consolidate this growth and strengthen the global competitiveness of the automobile sector - thereby fully supporting the EU’s industrial renaissance. ACEA believes that the right policy environment can deliver this – that means a policy environment that is based on three building blocks: driving innovation, fostering growth through international trade, and building a supportive and smart regulatory framework.

The i­blue concept allows mass­production of highly eco­friendly vehicles ­ today. CO 2 emissions are at the core of eco­politics ­ Hyundai can make even further progress in reducing CO2. As the need to reduce green house gases, cut consumption and preserve resources becomes ever more imperative, new developments are crucial. With the i­blue concept, Hyundai has combined several cutting edge technologies to meet ever­rising customer and legislative demands. The result is a range of technologies, based upon the i10, i10 CNG, i30 and the forthcoming i20, engineered to set new practical standards in CO2 reduction and fuel economy. “The i­blue concept can be thought of as an introduction of features that will naturally evolve in future Hyundai cars.

The business items which will be addressed at the annual meeting are set out in the notice of annual meeting and the accompanying proxy circular. We encourage you to vote your shares in person, or by phone, fax or internet, as described in the proxy circular. As in prior years, those not attending the annual meeting in person can access a simultaneous webcast through Magna’s website (www.magna.com). As you are aware, 2010 was a year of significant change for Magna. In August 2010, Magna completed the plan of arrangement and related transactions (the ‘‘Arrangement’’) announced in May 2010. The Arrangement, which was approved by over 75% of Magna’s disinterested shareholders, represented an historic milestone for Magna as it collapsed the dual-class share structure which had been in place since 1978. In conjunction with the Arrangement, the consulting, business development and business services agreements through which Frank Stronach has provided his knowledge and expertise to Magna and its divisions were amended to extend the expiry date of each agreement to December 31, 2014, after which they will automatically terminate.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Collaborative and dynamic future for EU automotive research On 15 November, 240 key stakeholders in automotive research and innovation met in Brussels for EUCAR’s annual conference. Innovation is key to delivering the benefits of cleaner, safer and smarter mobility for society, in the past and even more in the future. The automotive industry is Europe’s biggest private investor in research and innovation; spending more than €50 billion on R&D each year and employing more than 12 million people all over Europe. The ‘Innovating Mobility: Pushing the boundaries of automotive R&D’ conference was opened by Stefan Deix, EUCAR Director. Deix underlined that the auto industry faces many challenges, but quoted Peter Drucker to point out that “the best way to predict the future is to create it.” This motif of active collaboration was expanded upon by the reception’s key-note speakers: Jack Metthey of the European Commission’s DG for Research & Innovation, and Torbjörn Holmström, Senior Advisor to CEO Technology & Research, at the Volvo Group. Lively presentations and discussion followed with a range of experts from industry and academia. Urban Wass, EUCAR Chairman 2017, emphasised the importance of the next Framework Programme (FP9), which should focus on the further development of today’s technologies and completely new ones, as “both need to be addressed in tandem.” Research and innovation also need to produce concrete results according to Wass, who highlighted the “need to integrate new technology into vehicles, and vehicles into transport systems, providing numerous opportunities for European industry.” However, the automotive industry simply cannot do this alone.
