Crit’Air vignette The end of the Ford Fiesta really is the end of an era and takes me down memory lane.My first company car (remember those) was a silver Fiesta Mk 2. I hated it as I wanted an XR2 but was too junior. In those days I was young trade union lawyer acting for TGWU members (now Unite) which meant frequent visits to the Ford car plant in Dagenham. The one time that Fiesta let me down however was when I had to visit the Luton Vauxhall car plant. The Saxon sounded at 5, the Vauxhall employees poured out of the factory only to see my Ford Fiesta with its bonnet propped up by an AA man. I knew then it was time to switch to a Vauxhall Astra !I have had the honour of a number of Fords (our company policy meant company cars had to be “perceived” British) including Fiesta, Escort, Cortina, Sierra and a Galaxy but no capri and no mondeo! Remember these? Those were the days but now we move to more environmentally electric cars . Much has been said about lowering emissions and the ULEZ extension but beware if you intend to travel abroad. - You will need a low emission certificate “Crit’Air vignette” to drive through parts of France or face a fixed penalty fine. UK drivers should log on to the official website Certificat-air.gouv.fr to apply.See article here : https://lnkd.in/eMyKyp5KOn the flip side, some things from the past are not lost, as we see the return of the “Chopper” bike ! #MooreBarlow #environmentallyfriendly https://lnkd.in/eYpguR3Y

Country of OriginThe country of origin of a car can be an important factor for some car buyers, but it is not the only factor that people consider. Other factors include features, performance, price, and brand reputation.Brand reputation: Some countries have a reputation for producing high-quality cars. For example, Japanese cars are often seen as being reliable and fuel-efficient, while German cars are often seen as being luxurious and well-engineered.Safety ratings: Some countries have stricter safety standards than others. For example, cars made in Europe are often required to meet higher safety standards than cars made in the United States.Price: The cost of labor and materials can vary from country to country. This can affect the price of a car, even if it is made by the same company in different countries.Tariffs: Some countries have tariffs on imported cars. This can make cars from certain countries more expensive than cars from other countries.Here are some interesting global examples:-Japan: Japanese cars are often seen as being reliable and fuel-efficient. This is due to the country's long history of manufacturing cars, as well as its strict quality control standards. For example, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan are all Japanese car brands that are known for their reliability.Germany: German cars are often seen as being luxurious and well-engineered. This is due to the country's strong engineering tradition, as well as its high labor costs, which lead to higher quality cars. For example, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi are all German car brands that are known for their luxury and performance.United States: American cars are often seen as being powerful and affordable. This is due to the country's large domestic market, which allows car manufacturers to produce cars in large quantities and at lower prices. For example, Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge are all American car brands that are known for their power and affordability.China: Chinese cars are becoming increasingly popular, due to the country's growing middle class and government support for the domestic auto industry. For example, Geely, BYD, and Changan are all Chinese car brands that are becoming increasingly popular in the global market.So why are Indian cars gaining popularity in India? Can we hope see Indian OEMs products in developed markets soon?Ultimately, the importance of the country of origin is a personal decision for each car buyer.#oems #automotivesales #automobilindustrie #carsales #automotiveindustry #JATO

“Twice as many Chinese carmakers exhibited at Europe’s largest biennial motor show this year in Munich compared to 2021, occupying almost two-thirds of the floor space. Many used the show to unveil a bevy of enticing new models intended to win European motorists over from the German brands.Xpeng, which recently agreed a €5bn deal to help Europe’s largest carmaker Volkswagen improve its technology, used the Munich event to reveal that it would start selling cars in Germany, France and the UK. For years, China’s carmakers learned their craft from western rivals, through joint ventures that the international auto groups were required to form. At the same time, China placed significant bets that batteries would dominate technologies needed to decarbonise road transport, and particularly the 90mn cars sold worldwide every year. Now, with a fast-growing EV market and a wealthy, car-loving population, Europe has become the largest crucible of battery car activity outside of China, and a leading target for the country’s carmakers.”“As a ban on petrol or diesel car sales by 2035 looms, the Chinese see an opportunity to capture market share by offering models with advanced technology and world-leading batteries at low prices. Now, after months of fruitless lobbying of politicians to block or deter Chinese imports, the region’s carmakers are preparing to face down their newest rivals. Prospects of a price war one of the main talking points at the Munich event as executives toyed with possible implications of the coming wave. The Chinese are acutely aware of the fertile ground to be found in lower price brackets. Renault’s chief executive Luca de Meo said while prices needed to come down, there were differences in vehicle specifications. The often-made comparison between the low-price Chinese MG 4 and Renault’s electric Megane focuses on the €10k difference, but the French model has a higher-grade battery, better infotainment and installed Google services, he says. ‘It’s a different car.’”“Europe has one of the highest-priced cars in the world and is home to the greatest density of premium or luxury brands, stretching from Sweden’s Volvo to Britain’s Range Rover, Germany’s Mercedes, Audi and BMW and Italy’s Masserati.Price is ‘clearly much more of a challenge in the low price spectrum than in the premium and luxury segments where we operate’, says Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of EV brand Polestar, which is majority owned by Volvo Cars and Li Shufu.‘I am not so much afraid of the price position, I’m much more afraid of the kind of technology they bring, whether they are somewhere ahead of us that is unreachable. That would be frightening.’ Yet on technology too, the Chinese are quietly confident. Technologically, I think we are quite the best,’ says Brian Gu, vice-chair of the Chinese EV maker Xpeng. ‘Also on the cost areas, the scale, in manufacturing, the supply chain and everything that can give us the confidence that we can build something competitive’.”
