After Ford & Hyundai, GM to Make India Export Hub

27/02/2009 ,The Financial Express

Taking a cue from Ford India, Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki, General Motors is planning to make India its hub for exporting engines, powertrains as well as cars to neighbouring countries, the US and Europe.

Despite the slowdown and funds crunch, GM India hopes to match last years growth of 10% even though the industry is expected to remain flat.

The company, in addition to the launch of the new sedan (above Optra) Chevrolet Cruze and a premium mini car (on the same lines of Spark), will launch a number of different fuel models of the existing platform in India during 2009, said Karl Slym, president and managing director, GM India.

Disclosing this in Chennai on Thursday on the sidelines of the launch of its new Captiva and Spark Music cars, he said, Given the cost advantage and other positive options, GM will look at exporting engines as well as cars out of India to global markets. We have been exporting cars to Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh in a small way. Once the market sentiment improves, the company will think of exporting in a big way.

According to Slym, the company has already invested in producing 2,25,000 cars per annum across its two plants in Halol of Gujarat and Talegaon, Pune. The company has also invested in manufacturing engines/power trains with various options (diesel, petrol and other alternate fuels) keeping in mind the long-term perspective. P Balendran, VP, GM India, said, We are looking at exporting engines as well as cars to the global markets. We will wait for the market to improve and accordingly start tapping the overseas markets. Exports is considered to be one of the key growth area for GM India over a period of time.

Honda drives in power bikes

NEW DELHI: Lakhpati wheels continue to hit Indian roads. After Suzuki and Yamaha brought in their million-rupee bikes in India, it is now the turn of another Japanese auto major — Honda — to drive in its power bikes.

Honda, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI), Friday unveiled the CBR1000RR Fireblade and the CB1000R (both 1000cc), which would cost a pocket-heavy Rs 12.5 lakh and Rs 9.5 lakh respectively (ex-showroom Delhi).

And the company sounded optimistic on demand for them, which though would be limited. “We are confident of selling around 100 bikes in the first year,” said NK Rattan, sales and marketing Head of HMSI. “The Fireblade is among the few bikes in the world to sport a combined anti-lock braking system,” he added.

Toyota launches CNG powered Innova

NEW DELHI: Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) today announced the availability of the (CNG) powered Innova, the first energy efficient multipurpose vehicle in the country, which is available in all petrol grades of the Innova.

The dual fuel Innova will use CNG as an alternate fuel. The Innova, India’s most popular multipurpose vehicle since its launch in 2005, will now provide customers a more economical and environment friendly driving option.

The Innova comes with a 1998 cc, 16V DOHC VVTi petrol engine which is compatible with CNG. The CNG Innova has a manual selector switch that enables the driver to easily switch from gasoline to CNG and vice versa. The on-board cylinder has a capacity of approximately 12kg of CNG and the running cost on CNG for the Innova is estimated to be around Re. 1.6/km or even less depending on the driving cycle.

Taking into account mileage, increased engine oil life and reduced maintenance costs, the CNG Innova offers about 50% saving over diesel in running costs. The CNG Innova will be priced at around Rs 85000 higher than the current petrol version.

Announcing the launch of the first ever CNG Innova in India, Mr. Hiroshi Nakagawa, Managing Director, TKM, said “Toyota is an environment conscious company committed to the cause of nurturing and protecting nature in its myriad forms. With CNG having established itself as an eco-friendly, reliable and economic fuel, TKM is pleased to announce India’s first ever energy efficient MPV in India. This is yet another step in our efforts to make the environment more inhabitable.”

TKM has tied up with the leading CNG kit supplier M/s Minda Auto Gas Ltd to supply the CNG kits. The sophisticated kit is not only safe; its advanced Lambda control system ensures that it meets the Euro III emission norms. To ensure that there are no flaws in the fitment process, TKM has a special arrangement with M/s Minda Auto Gas Ltd to retro fit the kits on the Innova.

“CNG can reduce carbon-monoxide emissions by over 90 percent and offers better utilization of natural energy resources. Offering the Innova with a CNG kit will only add to its long standing appeal as it will not only be eco- friendly; it will also be hugely economical. We invite our customers to discover the true value unleashed by the new CNG Innova," said Mr. Sandeep Singh, Deputy Managing Director, Marketing, TKM.

In the first phase of launch, the CNG Innova has been introduced in Delhi, Mumbai, Surat, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. The CNG Innova will also soon be launched in Baroda and Vijaywada. All Toyota dealers in the above 7 cities are equipped to sell and service the CNG Innova.

Since its launch in 2005, the Innova has been the market leader with sales exceeding over 1.62 lakh vehicles so far. It has dominated the MPV market and appealed to MPV customers as well as Sedan buyers who prioritize spaciousness and performance, achieving a 36% market share in the MPV segment in calendar year 2008. In January this year, TKM launched the updated version of the Innova with advanced and dynamic styling.

Honda Siel Cars to increase CR-V price by 30 pc

NEW DELHI: Carmaker Honda Siel Cars India on Friday said it will increase the prices of its sports utility vehicle CR-V by about 30 per cent in May, 2009, besides gradually hiking the rates of other models.

"Devaluation of rupee is impacting our business, because a significant portion of our components are imported from Japan and Thailand. This impact is about 30-35 per cent in case of CR-V," Honda Siel Cars India (HSCI) President and CEO Masahiro Takedagawa said.

"We will increase the prices of CR-V in May and it will be about 30 per cent, otherwise we will make loss," he added.

CR-V is imported to India as a completely built unit. The company would gradually increase the prices of its other models that are manufactured in India, Takedagawa said.

Asked what could be the quantum of price increase for the models like City, Accord and Civic, he said: "Due to devaluation of rupee, our (CKD) completely knock down units have been impacted by about 9-10 per cent. But the price increase may not be in that level."

The company, which is present in India through a joint venture with the Siel Group, has indefinitely put on hold opening of its second manufacturing facility in Rajasthan. It has also cut its production by 50 per cent from the beginning of this year.

Tata Motors may take Sumo, Safari to Latin America

MUMBAI: Automobiles major, Tata Motors is planning to launch sports utility vehicles (SUVs) in Latin America. The company may launch the Sumo and Cars of the future 20 must-drive vehicles for 2009

Safari in partnership with Fiat by the end of this year, officials close to the development said, adding the company is in advanced stages of talks with Fiat.

Fiat and Tata Motors already have a 50:50 joint venture in India, which was signed in October 2007. The JV will manufacture and market SUVs in Latin America, officials said.

Tata Motors passenger car business unit president Rajeev Dube said: “I can only confirm that something is on at the global level with Fiat. The Latin American market has a lot of potential for SUVs but it’s too early to reveal the exact plans.”

Tata Motors MD Ravi Kant had earlier announced plans to jointly develop some products with Fiat for some markets. The SUVs may be manufactured at Fiat’s existing facilities in Cordoba, Argentina.

A new facility may also be set up in Latin America. In both cases, Fiat would be a strategic partner, and products may be developed at a later stage. The JV will market the products throughout Latin America.

Tata Motors has been exploring growth opportunities in several global markets for its commercial and passenger vehicles. In fact, Tata Motors is also believed to be evaluating plans to launch Nano, the Rs 1 lakh car, in Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa within four years.

Of late, Latin America has emerged as an attractive destination for automobile and component manufacturers due to its healthy growth rate, similar norms for safety, emission and quality compared to India and less competition from big automobile brands. Tata Motors is currently passing through a rough patch, given its quarterly loss and a drop in domestic demand.

However, during the launch of Xenon on Wednesday, Tata Motors of-ficials said they were re-thinking plans to manufacture pick-ups in South Africa owing to recessionary trends.

Honda chief Fukui to step down in June this year

Japan based Honda Motor Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr. Takeo Fukui will be stepping down in June 2009 to hand over the company’s reins to Mr. Takanobu Ito, who is currently the Senior Managing Director. Ito’s career trajectory has been strikingly similar to that of Mr. Fukui, moving from R&D to Senior Management, leading many people to speculate early on that he would be stepping into Fukui’s shoes at some point. Mr. Fukui (64) who has been Honda’s CEO for the past 6 years said that the company needed someone young like Ito (55) to overcome the current economic downturn.

Thanks to its cautious approach, Honda has so far managed to deal with the economic crisis in a far more effective manner than other Japanese car companies like Toyota and Nissan. Mr. Fukui pulled out of Formula One racing last year when no serious buyer emerged for the team and channeled the funds to the development of a new generation of cars. He also refrained from building a car factory in Russia unlike rivals, at a time when sales were at their peak.

Tata Motors to launch diesel Nano by 2010

MUMBAI: TATA Motors could follow up the launch of Nano’s petrol variant on March 23 with a diesel variant by the middle of next year. "We are Nano part-suppliers for the diesel version and have been asked to start supplying to the Tatas in six months," a vendor told ET.

"If vendors start supplying by August-September, the company should be able to roll out the diesel version by the middle of next year after extensively testing the product."

Multiple auto industry sources indicated this version could come with a price tag of Rs 2 lakh, making it the cheapest diesel car. The Tata Indicab, priced at Rs 3.06-3.3 lakh ex-showroom, is currently the cheapest diesel car. Against this, the base variant (without AC) of the petrol Nano will be priced at Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom) and deluxe variants could cost Rs 1.4-1.6 lakh.

In response to an email query about the launch of the diesel version, Tata Motors said, "We would make the announcement at an appropriate time."

However, a company source said Tata Motors is unlikely to manufacture diesel Nanos at its interim facility in Pantnagar. As the company has tested the gasoline engine, it will ramp up capacity of the petrol variant. Once the Sanand (Gujarat) facility comes up and a sufficient number of petrol Nanos are built, it could start with the diesel variant, the source added.

Currently, the company plans to produce petrol variants from its Pantnagar facility. Industrial experts said the demand for diesel versions could be high because of Tata Motors’ strength in the diesel vehicle segment. "Historically, Tata Motors has fared much better in all of their diesel versions compared with petrol versions," said
an analyst.

Ratan Tata chairman Tata Group, while unveiling the Nano at the Delhi Motor Show in January 2008, had said the petrol versions would be followed by diesel versions.

Other vendors, when asked about the launch of the Nano diesel, said they had been asked to develop products for diesel versions. "We are suppliers for petrol as well as diesel versions. We have developed products and would be able to supply to the Tatas at one month’s notice," said a vendor who supplies engine parts for Nano.

Vendors also told ET, for March and April, the company has asked them to supply components for 1,000-1,500 Nano units. Moreover, the company is believed to have manufactured 600 units in February. These 600 units would be sent to all dealers throughout India for display after March 23.

If industry sources are to be believed, the Nano diesel would be powered by a 624-cc engine as its petrol counterpart. The company is also looking at higher engine options like a 684cc two-cylinder DiCor diesel engine. The diesel Nano would be available in three versions — basic, deluxe and luxury.

Tata Indica Vista EV

Tata Indica Vista EV

The Tata Indica Vista EV will be a more practicable option for the consumer: capable of carrying four individuals, adequate luggage space, with a predicted range of up to 200 km and acceleration of 0-60 kmph in under 10 seconds. Tata Motors continues its innovative approach with the Indica Vista EV too, using super polymer lithium ion batteries which have superior energy density to conventional batteries.

The first such vehicle to be developed by the company is the Indica EV, which is currently undergoing extensive tests in Europe.

Besides these three new cars, Tata Motors is displaying the new generation Tata Indica Vista itself. Launched in India in August 2008, it has received excellent customer response. It has received two prestigious Indian awards -- the UTVi Autocar Best Value for Money Car Award and the Business Standard Motoring Jury Award. Also on display is the Tata Xenon 2.2 litre double-cab, an ideal dual-use vehicle with contemporary styling and superior convenience.

Tata Nano Europa, for future launch in international markets, displayed at 79th Geneva Motor Show

Geneva, March 3, 2009: Tata Motors today presented at the 79th Geneva Motor Show the Tata Nano Europa, intended for a future launch in select international markets. The company has also displayed the Tata Prima, a concept luxury sedan, and the Tata Indica Vista EV, an electric vehicle based on the award-winning new generation Tata Indica Vista.

Speaking on the occasion at the Geneva Motor Show, Mr. Ratan N. Tata, Chairman of Tata Sons and Tata Motors, said, “In India, the Nano will be launched on March 23, and the cars will be on display at company dealerships from the first week of April. The Nano has also generated wide interest in developed countries, since it’s unveiling in Delhi and its presentation here last year. We are delighted to present the Nano Europa for future launch in such markets. The Indica Vista EV represents the work of Tata Motors on alternate technologies, while the Prima is an iteration of a luxury sedan we will introduce. They together signify the ongoing evolution in our cars.”

Tata Nano Europa

With a length of 3.29 metres and width of 1.58 metres, the Tata Nano Europa continues to be stylishly petite but surprises with its spacious interior and generous leg space. The slightly longer wheelbase of 2.28 metres combines excellent space and manoeuvrability, further improving on the benchmark standard set by the Tata Nano. The enhanced spaciousness is complemented by redesigned interiors, marked by smooth curves and a high tech yet gentle feel.

To meet the driving needs of its target customers, the Tata Nano Europa will be powered by a 3-cylinder sporty all-aluminium MPFI engine matched with a 5-speed automatic transmission, and electric power steering. The gasoline engine will be class-leading, providing high fuel efficiency and low CO2 emission of less than 100 gm / km meeting the twin goals of being environmentally friendly and stylish – just like the Tata Nano.

The Tata Nano Europa meets all safety regulations. In addition to the all sheet-metal body, its energy absorbing design, use of advanced restraint systems, ABS, ESP and Air Bags will enhance passenger safety.

Just like the Tata Nano, the Tata Nano Europa incorporates exterior compactness with interior comfort and seeks to provide motorists the pleasure and utility of personal mobility combined with affordability and environment-friendliness, in a world where smaller, fuel-efficient cars are emerging as a preferred choice.

Tata Prima

The Tata Prima, the concept luxury sedan designed by Pininfarina, is an iteration of the next generation luxury sedan from Tata Motors. It combines the fundamental design characteristics of the Tata brand, as seen in the Tata Indigo, with sporty curvatures to create a coupe-like silhouette, simple yet refined with an inherent premium.

The Tata Prima’s large wheelbase of 2.70 metres endows it with excellent interior space that a luxury sedan demands. The subtle treatment of the C pillar, the hallmark of a Pininfarina design’s gracefulness and sporty characteristic, brings forth a coupe-like sloped cabin and tapering back without compromising interior space. The result is that the Tata Prima concept exudes an overall elegance, endowed with style, luxury and comfort and proportions that are classical yet modern.

The result is that the Tata Prima concept exudes an overall elegance, endowed with style, luxury and comfort and proportions that are classical yet modern.

Bajaj XCD 135 DTS-Si hits powerband!

India's second largest two-wheeler manufacturer, Bajaj Auto Ltd. launched one of its first products of 2009, the XCD 135 DTS-Si, in January end and the deliveries began in February 2009. The bike has been welcomed by consumers and within the first fifteen days, Bajaj Auto sold more than 10,000 units of the new XCD 135 DTS-Si.

Bajaj Auto's facility located at Pantnagar which was commissioned in 2007, will now start the manufacturing of the new XCD 135 DTS-Si to meet the increasing demand for the new bike. Bajaj Auto was languishing at the back of the mid-level or 125cc segment and none of its earlier launches managed to shake Hero Honda top standing in the respective segment. With the sales of the new bike growing by the day, Bajaj Auto might have a winner on their hands with the new XCD.

The company is trying its best to promote the bike and wants to ride the wave of freshness until it lasts. The new TV commercial of the XCD 135 DTS-Si is already on air. With aggressive marketing and nation-wide availability of the bike, Bajaj Auto is aiming to sell close to 20,000 bikes by the end of February.

The XCD 135, fittingly bridges the gap between the popular 125cc segment and the steadily developing 150cc segment, providing buyers the best of both worlds.

Mercedes makers, dealer asked to compensate for misleading consumer

NEW DELHI: Daimler Chrysler, makers of luxury car Mercedez Benz, and one of its dealers here have been asked to pay Rs.500,000 by a consumer court for misleading a customer by selling a limited edition of a car under the garb of it being the latest model.

"It is apparent and crystal clear that the complainant had been sold by way of misrepresentation (of) a limited edition, which was never launched in the market," the Delhi State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission headed by Justice J.D. Kapoor ruled in a recent order.

Terming the acts of the carmaker and its dealer, TNT Motors Ltd, as "the grossest kind of deficiency in service and an unfair trade practice", the Commission held them equally responsible for misrepresenting the consumer and ordered the company to refund the cost of vehicle on its return.

Intercard (I) Ltd, another car dealer that had bought the car in 2003 for personal use, approached the Commission and urged it to direct the auto major and its dealer to return the whole amount taken against the purchase of the car or exchange it with the latest version, besides demanding Rs.200,000 as compensation.

The consumer had gone to the dealer in February 2003 to purchase the C-180 model of Mercedez Benz, a regular edition, but the complainant was supplied with C-180K version, a limited edition, by stating that it was latest model and launched recently in the market.

The Commission was not impressed with the contention that the car had already been used for over 50,000 km by the consumer.

"It is immaterial whether the complainant has run the car for 50,000-60,000 km as what is material for us is that such gross misrepresentation was made by the manufacturer and the dealer and that the customer suffered huge financial loss, mental agony, harassment and lost mental peace," the Commission said last week.

It also asked the dealer and manufacturer to pay Rs.20,000 as the cost of litigation.

The court also dismissed the plea of the car company that the complainant was not a consumer and said: "At the outset, to say that the complainant is not a consumer is highly fallacious argument as there is a distinction between commercial activity and commercial purpose. Had the complainant purchased the vehicle for further sale to earn profit only then it could have come within the ambit of commercial purpose.

"He had purchased only one vehicle for his use and merely because it was engaged in some commercial activities does not mean that it was used for commercial purpose."

We expect a fairly flat sales growth curve for the industry for the first quarter ending March, 2009”.

The segment-wise cumulative sales in the month of February, 2009 are as follows: A2 Segment (Santro, i10, Getz & i20) 34,285 units; A3 Segment (Accent & Verna) 3900 units; units, A5 Segment (Sonata Transform) 66 units; and SUV Segment (Tucson) 3 unit.
