Ferrari iets positiever over 2017

Ruim 3 procent meer sportwagens verkocht.

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) Ferrari heeft in het derde kwartaal van 2017 meer sportauto's verkocht, wat de omzet deed stijgen en zorgde dat de outlook voor dit jaar opwaarts werd bijgesteld. Dit maakte de Italiaanse fabrikant van sportauto's donderdag bekend.

In het derde kwartaal werden er 2.046 Ferrari's afgeleverd, 3,4 procent meer dan dezelfde periode een jaar terug, toen dit er 1,978 waren. Hierdoor liep de omzet op met bijna 7 procent op tot 836 miljoen euro. Tegen constante wisselkoersen kwam de omzetstijging uit op ruim 9 procent.

Het aangepaste EBITDA-resultaat steeg met 13 procent tot 266 miljoen euro en de nettowinst kwam bijna een kwart hoger uit op 141 miljoen euro.

Outlook

Ferrari denkt dit jaar nog altijd ongeveer 8.400 auto's te verkopen. Maar waar de fabrikant bij de halfjaarcijfers nog uitging van een omzet van 3,3 miljard euro en een aangepaste EBITDA van 950 miljoen euro, is dit nu 3,4 miljard euro en 1 miljard euro.

Aan het einde van het jaar wil Ferrari de schuldpositie hebben verlaagd tot minder dan 500 miljoen euro. Halverwege het jaar zei de fabrikant nog te mikken op circa 500 miljoen euro.

De koers van Ferrari ging donderdag in Italië twee procent lager.

BMW roept 1 miljoen auto's terug in de VS

Gepubliceerd op 3 nov 2017 om 16:43 | Views: 0

BAY.MOTOREN WERKE AG ST 02 nov
89,94 +0,63 (+0,71%)

WASHINGTON (AFN/RTR) - BMW roept in totaal 1 miljoen auto's terug in de Verenigde Staten. Dat heeft te maken met twee verschillende defecten die tot brand kunnen leiden. De Duitse automaker sluit niet uit dat er ook in andere landen auto's terug worden geroepen, maar BMW Nederland zegt dat de problemen hier niet spelen.

Het gaat bij een van de twee terugroepacties om Amerikaanse auto's uit de 3-serie die tussen 2006 en 2011 zijn geproduceerd. Bij zo'n 670.000 voertuigen kan een probleem bij de bedrading van de verwarming en airconditioning leiden tot oververhitting en mogelijk brand.

Het andere probleem betreft een klep in de motor van 740.000 voertuigen uit de 1-, 3- en 5-serie en van de X3, X5 en Z4 die kan gaan roesten. Al deze auto's zijn tussen 2007 en 2011 gemaakt.

Omdat een gedeelte van de voertuigen beide problemen heeft, gaat het in totaal om zo'n 1 miljoen auto's. Die rijden vrijwel allemaal in de Verenigde Staten rond, maar er zijn ook 15.000 auto's in Canada getroffen.

BMW op koers

Ruim procent meer auto's verkocht in derde kwartaal.

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) BMW ligt goed op koers voor een succesvol 2017 en liet zich ook met meer vertrouwen uit over de winstontwikkeling. Dit bleek dinsdag uit een update van de Duitse autofabrikant.

In het derde kwartaal verkocht BMW 590.415 auto's, 1,2 procent meer dan in dezelfde periode vorig jaar. De omzet liep met 0,3 procent op tot 23,4 miljard euro, waarbij wisselkoerseffecten een negatieve impact hadden. De operationele winst daalde evenwel met 3,2 procent naar 2,3 miljard euro. De nettowinst daalde met 1,8 procent naar 1,8 miljard euro.

Zowel de omzet als de winst lag na negen maanden hoger dan in dezelfde periode vorig jaar. Daarbij zat de EBIT-marge binnen de gewenste marge van 8 tot 10 procent.

BMW verwacht dat de winst voor belasting dit jaar "solide" zal stijgen in vergelijking tot 2016, toen dit 9,7 miljard euro was. De fabrikant denkt te kunnen profiteren van de nieuwe BMW 5 serie en de Mini Countryman.Bij de vorige kwartaalupdate zei BMW nog te rekenen op een "licht" hogere winst.

Elektrisch Opel moet in 2020 winstgevend zijn

Gepubliceerd op 9 nov 2017 om 08:18 | Views: 702

RÜSSELSHEIM (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - Opel en Vauxhall gaan zich vooral op elektrische en hybride auto's richten. De auto's van het bedrijf moeten op meer markten worden verkocht en er moet meer technologie gedeeld worden met moederbedrijf PSA Peugeot Citroën. Dat komt naar voren uit een donderdag gepubliceerd toekomstplan voor de onderneming.

Verder moet Opel groeien op de markt voor kleine bedrijfswagens. De Duitse automaker moet dan over drie jaar alweer winstgevend zijn.

Opel moet een Europese leider worden voor auto's met lage CO2-uitstoot. Dat gaan de Duitsers doen, door hun voertuigen op minder verschillende bodemgroepen te baseren en met minder motoren aan te bieden. Die technologieën worden gedeeld met het Franse moederbedrijf, de maker van Peugeot, Citroën en DS.

Corsa
In 2024 moet ieder Opel-voertuig een elektrische of hybride versie hebben. In 2020 zijn dat er al vier. Zo komt de nieuwe Corsa als volledig elektrische auto op de markt. Opel heeft met de Ampera e nu al een elektrische auto op de markt.
In de plannen voor Opel is ook een beter gebruik van de fabrieken van de Duitsers opgenomen. In combinatie met kostenbesparingen elders moet dat ervoor zorgen dat de Duitse automaker bij een jaarlijkse verkoop van 800.000 voertuigen al geen verlies meer lijden.

Plannen
De plannen voor Opel lijken op de herstructureringsplannen die de Franse automaker zelf uitvoerde. Topman Carlos Tavares richtte zich daarbij op de meest winstgevende modellen en elimineerde overbodige kosten.

PSA Peugeot Citroën kocht Opel in maart voor zo'n 2,2 miljard euro van General Motors. De Fransen willen met de aankoop een tegenwicht voor Volkswagen vormen. Het bedrijf herhaalde nog maar eens zich aan de bestaande cao-afspraken van Opel te willen houden. Daardoor vallen er zeker tot eind volgend jaar geen gedwongen ontslagen.

Failure of Opel recovery plan would be serious for staff - PSA CEO

REUTERS quoted Mr Carlos Tavares CEO of PSA Group as saying that a failure of turnaround efforts at Opel would spell "very serious" consequences for workers at the German division and the company as a whole.

PSA has given Opel until 2020 to return to profit as part of a recovery plan aimed at shifting the German brand's model lineup onto PSA's architecture, with the French parent pursuing 1.7 billion euros in savings from its acquisition of Opel.

Mr Tavares said that PSA CEO says failure of Opel recovery plan would be serious for staff.

German automakers set for record output in 2018 - VDA

Reuters reported German automakers, on course for record production this year, expect further output growth in 2018 powered by strong demand in Asia.

Mr Matthias Wissmann VDA President said that producers including Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW may increase output "significantly" this year from 2016 levels to between 5.6 to 5.7 million units in Germany and about 10.8 million in the rest of the world. He said that "The automotive sector is and will remain a growth market.”

Mr Wissmann during an industry conference said that "Current projections indicate that 2018 will also be a stable year, without being more specific.”

Separately, Mr Wissmann said he expects demand in Germany for electric cars to show "a further significant gain" over the next three years as German carmakers plan to more than triple their offerings of purely battery-powered vehicles and plug-in hybrids to nearly 100 models from about 30 at present.

Mazda's China JV to recall 206,570 Mazda 6 cars

Reuters quoted a Mazda spokesman as saying that Mazda Motor Corp's joint venture with FAW Group Corp has begun recalling 206,570 Mazda 6 cars because of a potential issue with the vehicle's brake-assist system in cold weather. The spokesman said that a brake-assist system in the affected midsize sedans could malfunction under extremely cold weather.

The affected cars were produced in China by the FAW-Mazda joint venture between November 2012 and March 2016.

The spokesman said that the company will replace the affected component. He said that the issue has caused 11 known "small" accidents, adding that no injuries or deaths were reported.

BMW to build test track for self-driving cars in Czech Republic
Auto News - Published on Tue, 19 Dec 2017

Reuters quoted German luxury automaker BMW as saying that it will spend over EUR 100 million on a test track for self-driving and electric cars in the Czech Republic, as it expands its foray into alternative driving technologies. The construction of BMW's first vehicle testing project in eastern Europe will create several hundred jobs in the Czech Republic, where costs are lower than in neighbouring Germany.

BMW said that the project is due to go on stream at the start of the next decade. BMW-owned properties near its Munich headquarters, in France and in Sweden are no longer sufficient to accommodate the carmaker's expanding tests of self-driving vehicles.

The group, which also includes the Rolls-Royce and MINI brands, plans to introduce its first highly automated iNEXT model in 2021 and has teamed up with Intel, Mobileye, Delphi, Continental and Fiat Chrysler to develop a market for driverless vehicles.

Meanwhile, it also plans to increase battery-powered offerings to 25 models by 2025, about half of which will be fully electric.

GM urges judge to throw out disputed ignition switch deal in Manhattan

Reuters reported that lawyers for General Motors urged a federal bankruptcy judge in Manhattan to throw out a settlement that would require the company to pay USD 1 billion to car owners suing over faulty ignition switches. The carmaker made its argument on the first day of a scheduled three-day bench trial before Judge Martin Glenn of the US Bankruptcy Court in New York. The trial will determine the validity of a deal the car owners said they reached in August with a trust that holds many GM liabilities from before its 2009 bankruptcy.

The claims stem from GM's 2014 recall of 2.6 million vehicles with defective ignition switches, including one linked to 124 deaths.

Lawyers for the car owners say the trust agreed to a deal in August but walked away several days later, instead accepting GM's offer to help pay for its defence against the car owners' claims.

The judge questioned how that came about, noting GM had an interest in dissolving any deal that required it to pay more.

Glenn said, referring to a two-hour meeting between the trust and GM in August, after which the trust dropped the agreement with the plaintiffs "I have trouble saying it passes the smell test."

But attorneys for the carmaker and the trust told Glenn the trust had every right to drop the agreement.

Mr Susheel Kirpalani, a lawyer for GM, said that "Sometimes people simply get cold feet, even when they get married," "and the same applies to settlements, your honour."

The carmaker said the deal with the car owners had never been signed, rendering it non-binding. Mitchell Karlan, an attorney for the trust, on Monday also said plaintiff lawyers contradicted each other in their testimony on when the agreement was allegedly reached.

Ford doet goede zaken in december
GM en Chrysler blijven achter.

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) De autoverkopen in de Verenigde Staten lieten in december in 2017 een gemengd beeld zien. Dit bleek woensdag uit cijfers van grote autofabrikanten als General Motors, Ford en Fiat Chrysler.

Bij GM daalden de verkopen afgelopen maand op jaarbasis met 3,3 procent tot een totaal van 308.539 auto's.

Bij Chrysler daalden de verkopen ook, en zelfs met 11 procent tot 171.946 stuks.

In tegenstelling tot GM en Chrysler wist Ford de verkopen juist op te voeren met 0,9 procent tot 242.049 voertuigen.

In november was het ook louter Ford dat meer wist te verkopen dan een jaar eerder.

BMW drives to new sales record but still lags Mercedes - Report

AP quoted German high-end carmaker BMW as saying that it booked record sales for the seventh year in a row in 2017, but continued to trail rival Mercedes-Benz. The Munich-based group said in a statement that sales of its core BMW-brand cars rose by 4.2 percent to almost 2.1 million last year.

The statement said that growth was primarily driven by the strong performance of its X-series SUVs and updated 5-series limousines. While sales in China grew by 15 percent, European sales edged forward by one percent and business in the Americas declined by two percent.

Despite the record performance, BMW was still unable to catch up with Mercedes, which held on to the pole position in the luxury segment with sales of 2.3 million units last year.

Nevertheless, sales chief Ian Robertson insisted that the BMW group as a whole was "the world's leading premium automotive company".

Nissan, NASA extend research into autonomous vehicles in California's

IANS reported that in a bid to create a roadmap for the technology and business evolution of the automotive industry, Nissan announced a fresh agreement with NASA. NASA Ames Research Centre in California's Silicon Valley and Nissan will collaborate on research and technology development for future autonomous mobility services, including a working demonstration in Silicon Valley.

Researchers from the Nissan Research Centre in Silicon Valley and NASA Ames have been working together to advance autonomous vehicle systems.

In January last year, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nissan introduced Nissan Seamless Autonomous Mobility (SAM), a new platform for managing fleets of autonomous vehicles, developed from NASA technology.

Mr Maarten Sierhuis, director of the Nissan Research Centre in Silicon Valley, said that "We built SAM from technology NASA developed for managing interplanetary rovers as they move around unpredictable landscapes. The final stage of our existing research agreement with NASA will bring us closer to that goal and test SAM in a working demonstration on public streets."

The research collaboration with NASA roadmap consists of three workstreams of inter-related innovations in autonomous drive (Intelligent Drive), electrification (Intelligent Power) and infrastructure technologies.

BMW close to 10-year supply deal for battery minerals - FAZ

Reuters reported that BMW is close to signing a 10-year supply contract for lithium and cobalt, the company’s procurement chief told Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , amid an industry-wide scramble for raw materials needed for electric car batteries.

Mr Markus Duesmann told the paper that “The aim is to secure the supply all the way down to the level of the mine, for 10 years. The contracts are ready to be signed,” according to an excerpt of an article made available to Reuters on Friday.

Demand for minerals for batteries such as cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models.

Rival Volkswagen has said it is pushing to secure long-term supply contracts to avoid material shortages as it aims to invest EUR 34 billion (USD 42 billion) in battery-powered cars by 2022 to challenge Tesla.

Separately, BMW said it had put a procurement partnership with Daimler on ice, given a probe into potential antitrust behaviour by German carmakers, FAZ said.

In a sign of the growing importance of high-grade Nickel for long-range batteries, German chemicals giant BASF has entered talks over a supply partnership with Russian miner Norilsk Nickel to produce battery chemicals in Europe.

Belgium’s Umicore, which competes with BASF and Johnson Matthey in cathode materials for automotive batteries, this week raised EUR 892 million to expand that business.

Tesla reports record USD 675.4 million loss in Q4 2017

San Francisco Electric car maker Tesla reported a record loss of USD 675.4 million – USD 4.01 per share -- on a revenue of USD 3.29 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Palo Alto car company partly blamed the worst-ever figures on the high costs related to the production of its Model 3 electric sedan. Tesla, which lost USD 121 million in the same quarter last year, said revenue was up 36 per cent over the same period in 2016 because of the deliveries it made of the luxury electric Model S sedan and Model X crossover.

The report said that "Revenue from automotive products rose to USD 2.7 billion for the final quarter of 2017 -- up from USD 1.99 billion in the year-earlier quarter."

Tesla also reported that revenue from its energy storage products -- batteries and home electric storage systems -- rose by six per cent.

The Zero Emission Vehicle credits that the company earns for building zero-emissions vehicles, which it can then sell to companies that produce too few such cars -- rose to USD 179 million for the quarter from USD 20 million during the same period in 2016.

German carmakers in a spin ahead of diesel ban ruling - Report

Reuters reported that a court will decide whether German cities can ban heavily polluting cars, potentially wiping hundreds of millions of euros off the value of diesel cars on the country's roads. Environmental group DUH has sued Stuttgart in Germany's carmaking heartland, and Duesseldorf over levels of particulate matter exceeding European Union limits after Volkswagen's 2015 admission to cheating diesel exhaust tests.

The scandal led politicians across the world to scrutinise diesel emissions, which contain the matter and nitrogen oxide (NOx) and are known to cause respiratory disease. There are around 15 million diesel vehicles on German streets and environmental groups say levels of particulates exceed the EU threshold in at least 90 German towns and cities.

Local courts ordered them to bar diesel cars which did not conform to the latest standards on days when pollution is heavy, startling German carmakers because an outright ban could trigger a fall in vehicle resale prices, and a rise in the cost of leasing contracts, which are priced on assumed residual values.

The German states concerned, where the carmakers and their suppliers have a strong influence, appealed against the decisions, leaving Germany's federal administrative court - the court of last resort for such matters - to rule on whether such bans can legally be imposed at local level.

Remo Klinger, a lawyer for DUH, said that "The key question is whether bans can already be considered to be legal instruments. It's a completely open question of law."

Paris, Madrid, Mexico City and Athens have said they plan to ban diesel vehicles from city centres by 2025, while the mayor of Copenhagen wants to ban new diesel cars from entering the city as soon as next year. France and Britain will ban new petrol and diesel cars by 2040 in a shift to electric vehicles.

Evercore ISI forecasts a 5 percent fall in diesel residual values could result in a drop of EUR 1.6 billion in operating profit across eight European and US carmakers.

Analysts at Bernstein Research said that diesel bans in Europe would hit French carmaker Peugeot hardest, followed by Renault. Among German carmakers, Daimler's global fleet exposure to diesel is around 38 percent, BMW's 35 percent and VW's 26 percent, Bernstein said in a report from 2016.

The investment by Mr Li Shufu, which Daimler confirmed in a regulatory filing in Germany, represents 9.69 percent of the company. Daimler in a statement said that it was pleased to have Mr Li as a “long-term-oriented shareholder” and described him as “ an especially knowledgeable entrepreneur with a clear vision for the future, with whom one can constructively discuss the change in the industry.”

GM to propose wage freeze, no bonuses for South Korean workers this year - Report
Auto News - Published on Tue, 27 Feb 2018

Showed an internal letter seen by Reuters General Motors Co will propose a base wage freeze and no bonuses this year as well a suspension of some worker benefits at its money-losing South Korean unit, in an effort to cut costs. GM announced last week it would shut a plant in the city of Gunsan, southwest South Korea, by May and decide the future of its remaining three plants in the country within weeks.

GM said in the letter sent to team leaders laying out its proposal for this year's wage talks with its South Korean union "It is impossible to pay 2018 bonuses/one-time payments in 2018."

Company officials said that GM Korea has paid about KRW 10 million in bonuses to each worker almost every year.

To "improve the manufacturing competitiveness of GM Korea," GM will propose freezing base wages this year and limit future wage increases below inflation, the letter showed.

The proposal includes suspending benefits including school tuition for employees' children and gold medals and travel expenses for long-serving workers, while removing complementary lunches and other benefits.

A GM Korea spokesman declined to comment, while a union spokeswoman said it has not officially received the proposal.

GM executives have complained that South Korea's relatively high wages and unyielding unions have contributed to its problems in the country.

South Korea was once a major export base for GM, but saw slumping sales in recent years as GM scrapped its Chevy brand in Europe.

Meanwhile, GM Korea held a board meeting on Friday morning to discuss a plan to ask GM headquarters to extend the maturity date for some of the debt owned by the unit, an official at stakeholder Korea Development Bank said.
