Fuel car price war resumes
After retail sales of new-energy vehicles in the Chinese market surpassed those of fuel vehicles for two consecutive months, fuel vehicles, which are gradually becoming a niche choice, are once again fighting a price war.On 24 September, Buick announced the launch of the new-generation Buick Enclave Plus with its starting price further reduced to 169,900 yuan. This price is a 60,000 yuan cut from its guide price of 229,900 to 259,900 yuan.This move is not an isolated case, as a number of models such as Passat, Dzire and Mondeo have recently adopted similar pricing strategies, further confirming the trend of pragmatic pricing in the fuel car market.Some consumers say that the promotional efforts of popular joint venture models such as the Passat and Camry, which have been reduced to less than 150,000 yuan, were ‘unthinkable in the past’.In terms of trends, the rapid growth of the new energy vehicle market has exacerbated the competitive pressure on fuel vehicles, and during the traditional low season of July and August, new energy vehicles delivered some of the best sales figures in history, further eroding the market share of fuel vehicles.Behind this trend is the growing concern of consumers for environmental protection and economy. According to statistics, the monthly sales penetration rate of new energy passenger car market in July and August has consecutively exceeded 50%, making fuel cars face unprecedented challenges.In order to seize the traditional ‘Golden Nine and Silver Ten’ sales season, major automobile companies have made price adjustments for new cars on sale and to be listed at the Chengdu Auto Show in late August and early September, further promoting the escalation of the price war.A distinctive feature of this round of fuel car price war is the ‘direct official price cut’. This type of price adjustment is different from previous time-limited offers or individual dealer price cuts, and it is widely believed that straightforward price adjustments help guide consumers to place orders and reduce wait-and-see sentiment.Since the beginning of 2023 to the present, car companies have tended to use limited-time offers or price adjustments through dealers. This has instead spawned waiting behaviour and shop comparisons among consumers, making it difficult to translate concessions into actual sales.It should be noted that a recent report submitted by the Automobile Dealers Association shows that current auto dealers are generally facing losses in new car sales, with increased risk of cash-flow deficit operations and broken capital chains.The intensification of the price war has led to a rise in the overall discount rate, and the cumulative loss of the overall retail market in the first eight months reached 138 billion yuan, which has forced many automobile companies to sell at a loss through price reductions in order to generate cash flow as much as possible and to complete the inventory clearance.On the other hand, the price-cutting strategy may bring about an increase in sales volume in the short term, but in the long run, the price war will undoubtedly be a test of the industry's profitability.Independent brands in the replacement of joint venture brands to become the protagonist of the market, generally faced with the dilemma of ‘increasing revenue does not increase profits’. Data show that in the first half of the year, the net profit of 30 major domestic automobile listed companies and only 1/3 of Toyota, about 2/3 of the Volkswagen Group.Source: Interface News

Dubai to launch air taxi project
Khalid Al Ouadi, Head of Public Transport Systems Management at the Roads and Transport Authority of the Dubai Transport Authority, recently announced that Dubai's first air taxi stand will be announced soon and is expected to be officially operational in the first quarter of 2026. The project will initially have four stations, with more details to be announced later.Ovadi made the announcement on the sidelines of the recent Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference and Exhibition, Emirates News Agency reported on 18 September. The air taxi project is one of Dubai's pioneering initiatives in the field of airborne autonomous transport, aiming to provide a modern and efficient mode of transport with a focus on connecting key areas of the city such as hotels and airports.Taylor Trilotta, General Manager, Middle East, Gobee Aviation, said the air taxi service is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2026, with early operations likely to be realised by the end of 2025. The first phase will include four strategic landing sites at Dubai International Airport, Downtown, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, and the project will see the construction of dedicated take-off and landing zones, electric charging facilities, passenger zones and security screening areas.Electrically powered and environmentally friendly, the air taxis will be able to carry four passengers and a pilot at speeds of up to 320 kilometres per hour and a range of 160 kilometres. Compared to helicopters, air taxis operate more smoothly and quietly, with noise levels not exceeding 45 decibels, effectively mitigating urban noise pollution.Trilotta pointed out that air taxis will significantly reduce the travelling time from Dubai International Airport to The Palm from the existing 45 minutes to 10 to 12 minutes, which will help reduce traffic congestion in the city and enhance the travelling experience. In addition, the rollout of air taxis will help reduce reliance on traditional modes of transport, lower carbon emissions and support Dubai's sustainable development goals.The project is being taken forward on the basis of an agreement signed at the Dubai Global Government Summit, where Gobee Aviation was granted an exclusive licence to operate air taxis in Dubai for a period of six years. The agreement covers route planning, infrastructure development and aircraft supply to ensure the smooth implementation of the project.Declaration: This article comes from the East Money.com.If copyright issues are involved, please contact us to delete.

For the first time in history! This automotive giant, may close its local factories!
A file photo of the Volkswagen logo taken in Wolfsburg, Germany. AFP/USAVolkswagen Group said in a statement on the 2nd that the company is considering closing one of its car manufacturing plants and one parts plant in Germany for the first time and terminating an employment protection agreement that has been in place since 1994 in a bid to further cut expenses.Volkswagen passenger car brand profit margins have been low for a long time, and the company hopes to improve its financial situation by reducing costs. However, cost-cutting has become more difficult as consumer spending has slowed during the transition to electric vehicles. In a statement, Volkswagen Group's chairman of the board of management, Ogbomu, said, ‘The general environment has become tougher and Germany is gradually falling behind in terms of competitiveness.’VW currently employs about 650,000 people worldwide, nearly 300,000 of whom are in Germany. The closure plan, if implemented, would be the first time in Volkswagen's history that a plant has been shut down in Germany, and could lead to conflict with VW's labour council in Germany. Daniela Cavallo, chairwoman of VW's labour committee, said the committee would ‘strongly oppose’ the board's proposal.Declaration: This article comes from the Internet.If copyright issues are involved, please contact us to delete.

Pet Auto Parts Market from the Perspective of Investment and Financing: New Opportunities on the Blue Ocean Circuit
Against the backdrop of the booming global automobile industry, China's automobile and its parts industry has occupied a pivotal position in the international market by virtue of its advanced production technology and perfect supply chain system. With the rise of the pet economy and changes in the travel habits of overseas consumers, a new market segment - the pet auto parts market is quietly rising overseas, becoming the focus of industry attention.Blue Ocean Potential of Pet Auto Parts MarketAccording to Google Trends data, in the past 90 days, the global search heat of the term “pet travel” (pet travel) has continued to be high, showing that the close integration of pets and automobile travel has become a new life trend. Especially in countries and regions such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand and Australia, users are particularly concerned about pet travel. The Investment and Finance Research Institute points out that behind this trend is the pursuit of high-quality and high-freedom lifestyles by Generation Z consumer groups, who are more willing to bring their pets along to enjoy the fun of outdoor self-driving, thus driving the rapid growth of the pet auto parts market.Hot Sales Trend and Consumer PreferenceAccording to the sales data on Amazon.com, pet car seats have become hot-selling products, with monthly sales easily exceeding thousands of units, with prices ranging from $17.59 to $79.99. These hot-selling products generally have “waterproof”, “adjustable harness”, “portable and breathable”, “removable” and “waterproof” features. These hot-selling products generally have “waterproof”, “adjustable seat belt”, “portable and breathable”, “removable”, “easy to use”, “easy to remove”, “easy to use”, “easy to use”, “easy to remove”, and “easy to use”. These hot-selling products generally have core functions such as “waterproof”, “adjustable harness”, “portable and breathable”, “detachable”, “easy to clean”, etc., which meet the needs of pet owners in different scenarios. The Investment and Finance Research Institute believes that as consumers' requirements for product quality and experience continue to improve, the pet car accessories market will pay more attention to the innovation and practicality of products.In terms of material selection, environmentally friendly and durable, waterproof and easy-to-clean materials have become the mainstream trend. Meanwhile, in order to enhance the comfort of the pet's ride, sellers have adopted ergonomic design and advanced material technology. For example, breathable materials with PVC mesh surfaces are favored for their good breathability and comfort. In addition, multifunctionality is also one of the key concerns of consumers, such as the design of pet car seats doubling as carriers or travel beds, which further meets the diversified needs of pet owners.How to Layout Overseas MarketIn the face of this blue ocean market full of opportunities, the Investment and Financing Research Institute offers the following suggestions for entrepreneurs who want to engage in cross-border e-commerce in this field.Precise positioning and market research: Understand the pet keeping preferences and traveling habits of the target market, and aim at the demand of segmented scenarios, so as to provide strong support for product design and marketing.Social media marketing: Take advantage of the high traffic and strong dissemination of social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, etc., and increase product exposure and conversion rates through scenario-based marketing and vertical field seeding.Festive promotions and limited-time offers: Seize major festivals in overseas countries and launch promotional strategies such as full-price discounts and coupons, and utilize Shoptop and other e-commerce tools to create an atmosphere of hot sales and a sense of urgency through “limited-time promotions”.Continuous innovation and customized services: Continuous innovation in product design, providing customized services and personalized pet elements to meet consumers' pursuit of product uniqueness and personalization.The Investment and Financing Research Institute believes that the business of pet auto parts cross-border e-commerce, as an emerging and full of potential segment, will bring unprecedented development opportunities for entrepreneurs who dare to take risks and try. However, to stand out in this blue ocean, sellers need to have a keen market insight and continuous innovation, while focusing on product quality and user experience improvement. Only in this way can they stand invincible in the fierce market competition.Market data further confirms this trend. Relevant statistics, the global auto parts and accessories market size will grow from $697.84 billion in 2023 to $108.73 billion in 2031, with a CAGR of 5.7%. Meanwhile, finance.yahoo data shows that the global pet accessories market size is expected to reach $55.4 billion in 2030, with a CAGR of 6.8%. Among them, the pet car seat market, as an emerging segment, has particularly great growth potential. The Investment and Finance Research Institute believes that the market demand for pet car seats and other products will continue to expand as pet owners' awareness of pet travel safety improves.Declaration: This article comes from the China Youth Kandian.If copyright issues are involved, please contact us to delete.

Small Animals Can Cause Big Problems with Cars
Critters can inflict serious punishment on your customers’ vehicles. By Thomas Dayton June 13, 2023 You may be familiar with “Just Rolled In,” a YouTube channel highlighting some of the most terribly maintained and unsafe vehicles brought into shops across the country, along with strange “customer states … ” complaints that must be seen to be believed.

Of these, nearly 200 people are killed each year, and (presumably) a much larger number of deer!
