Strong brand lineup can facilitate market-share gains. DFG has Major shareholder (%) three JVs and a comprehensive range of well-received models, which should help minimize sales fluctuations. It is launching economy sedans DFMC 66.86 and JV own brands, which can help gain market share from local brands, Sources: Bloomberg and Sun Hung Kai Financial while the new Infiniti can capture rapid growth in the premium market. Compelling valuation for a market leader. The shares trade at 9X P/E. We are optimistic about an earnings rebound in FY13 and solid growth over the next few years, in view of the company’s strong lineup of models and as Sino-Japan tensions fade. DFG is one of China’s leading automakers and hence a good proxy for the nation’s compelling long-term growth story. Catalysts: Proposed Renault JV; Japanese auto brands regaining market share in China faster than expected; DFG’s domestic-brand business grow exceeding expectations Valuation: DFG’s shares trade at 9X FY13E P/E, below the sector average 1H12 revenues: RMB68bn of 12X. But since the company is one of China’s leading automakers, we Others believe it should trade at least at par with its peers.

But since the company is one of China’s leading automakers, we believe it should trade at least at par with its peers. Historically, the shares have traded at 9X-12X during the middle of the industry cycle and below their long-term mean of 8X during a downcycle. We believe the coming industry rebound justifies a valuation of around 10X. The company has a comprehensive range of well-received models, which should help ensure solid earnings growth over the next few years. As one of the nation’s leading automakers, DFG is also a good proxy for what we believe is a secular growth story. We believe the stock’s current discount to domestic-only brands is not justified in view of its JV exposure and burgeoning own-brand business. We rate DFG a Buy with 12-month target price of HK$15.00 based on 10.4X forward P/E, for 16% upside.

Sun Hung Kai Financial Institutional Research 2 Dongfeng Motor (489.HK) – Initiation of Coverage 10 January 2013 Investment Thesis Sino-Japan tensions to fade Japanese brands contributed 60% of DFG’s PV sales volumes in FY11 and FY12 and have long been popular in China, reflected in their 20% market share. Sino-Japan JVs’ sales have been hit hard since September amid rising tensions, but we believe the worst is over. Figure 3: Japanese auto brands have long been popular in China (L); DFG’s sales by JV (R) (%) ('000 units) 60 1,600 50 1,400 40 1,200 1,000 30 800 20 600 10 400 0 200 Jan 09 Jul 09 Jan 10 Jul 10 Jan 11 Jul 11 Jan 12 Jul 12 0 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12E Chinese brands Japanese brands German brands American brands South Korea brands Other brands DF Nissan DF PSA DF Honda Sources: The Company, WIND and Sun Hung Kai Financial From our conversations with management, we gather that DF Honda’s sales are already above pre-crisis levels while DF Nissan’s sales rebounded to 80% of pre-protest levels in December, well above management expectations. Inventories had also fallen from peaks of 86 days for DF Nissan and 55 days for DF Honda in September, to 1½ months in December. Recovery has been helped by Sino-Japan JVs easing their sales targets for auto dealers. As a result dealers have not had to slash prices to clear inventory, which would have tarnished their brand image. In addition the JVs have offered to repair any of their cars damaged during the protests until 31 Dec 2014. The company usually makes warranty provisions for these expenses, included in other expenses on the income statement, based on sales volumes and historical levels of returns. We believe the company has enough provisions to cover upcoming repair expenses since actual repair expenses have typically been less than warranty provisions in recent years. Management also does not expect much impact on operating expenses. Figure 4: DF Nissan’s marketing initiatives to revive consumer confidence Sources: The Company Sun Hung Kai Financial Institutional Research 3 Dongfeng Motor (489.HK) – Initiation of Coverage 10 January 2013 Steady sales growth to persist DFG’s key models have consistently sold more than 12k units per month. This is likely attributable to its strong JV partners, with Honda and Nissan in particular introducing cars each year that meet or exceed consumer expectations. As a result, DFG has outperformed the industry during difficult times and has been able to adapt to changing consumer preferences.

Its JVs plan to introduce seven new models next year: Concept-S MPV from DF Honda, three from DF PSA, and three from DF Nissan, including the long-anticipated Teana. DF PSA will introduce two compact economy sedan models, which should help it gain market share from domestic brands. In 2014, DFG will produce two Infiniti models in China, which should strengthen its hand in the fast-growing premium PV market.

  • Chapter 2 China's Cars and Parts
    Chapter 2 China’s cars and parts: development of an industry and strategic focus on Europe Peter Pawlicki and Siqi Luo 1. Introduction Initially, Chinese investments – across all industries in Europe – especially acquisitions of European companies were discussed in a relatively negative way. Politicians, trade unionists and workers, as well as industry representatives feared the sell-off and the subsequent rapid drainage of industrial capabilities – both manufacturing and R&D expertise – and with this a loss of jobs. However, with time, coverage of Chinese investments has changed due to good experiences with the new investors, as well as the sheer number of investments. Europe saw the first major wave of Chinese investments right after the financial crisis in 2008–2009 driven by the low share prices of European companies and general economic decline. However, Chinese investments worldwide as well as in Europe have not declined since, but have been growing and their strategic character strengthening. Chinese investors acquiring European companies are neither new nor exceptional anymore and acquired companies have already gained some experience with Chinese investors. The European automotive industry remains one of the most important investment targets for Chinese companies. As in Europe the automotive industry in China is one of the major pillars of its industry and its recent industrial upgrading dynamics. Many of China’s central industrial policy strategies – Sino-foreign joint ventures and trading market for technologies – have been established with the aim of developing an indigenous car industry with Chinese car OEMs. These instruments have also been transferred to other industries, such as telecommunications equipment.

    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.

  • France Carlos Tavares Défend À Nouveau Le Diesel
    BRÈVES DE 10H30 2015/04/21 FRANCE CARLOS TAVARES DÉFEND À NOUVEAU LE DIESEL COMME SOLUTION À MOYEN TERME POUR LUTTER CONTRE LE RÉCHAUFFEMENT Interrogé sur le diesel par un groupe de journalistes en marge du Salon de Shanghaï, le président de PSA Peugeot Citroën Carlos Tavares a expliqué que tout le débat sur cette motorisation venait de Paris. Mme Hidalgo « nous dit qu’elle voudrait se débarrasser de l’énergie fossile, mais je pense que le vrai problème, c’est qu’elle a envie de se débarrasser des voitures à Paris […] Moi, je n’ai rien contre, mais il suffit de nous afficher clairement la couleur », a indiqué M. Tavares. « Ce qu’on a essayé d’expliquer aux députés : qu’il y ait une transition vers de la mobilité propre, c’est une évidence. La transition qui est en train de se dessiner qui serait moins de diesel et plus d’électrique, c’est tout à fait honorable, mais si on veut véritablement traiter la problématique du réchauffement climatique, la seule bêtise à ne pas faire c’est de tuer le diesel maintenant », a ajouté le dirigeant.

  • 2020 Interim Report of the Group for Your Review
    Contents Chairman's Statement 2 Corporate Information 5 Report of the Directors 6 Management Discussion and Analysis 17 Directors, Supervisors and Senior Management 25 Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated 27 Financial Statements and Notes Definitions 56 Chairman’s Statement Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board of Directors, I hereby present the 2020 interim report of the Group for your review. In the first half of 2020, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic and China’s economic downturn, China’s automotive industry sold approximately 10,257,000 units vehicles, representing a year-on-year decrease of 16.9%, of which passenger vehicle sales were 7,873,000 units, representing a year-on-year decrease of 22.4%, and commercial vehicle sales totalled 2,384,000 units vehicles, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.6%. Among which, in the first quarter, the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic was obvious, with the industry sales falling by 42.4% year on year; in the second quarter, the epidemic slowed down and was stimulated by consumption release and favourable policies, and therefore, the recovery of the Chinese auto market was accelerated. The development of the automobile industry in the first half of the year showed the following characteristics: 1. Passenger vehicles ended 22-month negative growth, and the sales growth rate in the second quarter turned from negative to positive, reaching 7.2% in May. Meanwhile, the market share of Japanese brands increased by 3.7%, while that of self-developed brands decreased by 5.2%. 2. Major passenger vehicle manufacturers extended their strategy from a single hot model to a product portfolio strategy, making their market response more flexible, with the products complementing each other, relying on the more effective strategy of product mixtures.
