Chinese car makers make hay while tax break in force, but sales could stall in 2017

Chinese giants Geely, Great Wall Motors and Chery Automobile see a rush in sales before a government tax break expires at end of the month


China’s domestic car sales soared in November, ahead of the expiry of a government tax break on cars with engines below 1.6 litres.
Geely Auto, one of the country’s largest privately owned car manufacturers and the owner of Volvo Cars and the London Taxi Company, has reported record sales for the month, thanks to a rush by customers to buy before a government reduction in purchasing tax expires at the end of the year.
However, the same reason could leave the car maker vulnerable to a downturn in 2017, according to analysts.
Geely’s November sales soared 99 per cent year-on-year to a record 102,422 cars, of which only 1,721 were exports.
Last October, China cut the purchase tax in half on cars with engines below 1.6 litres — from 10 to 5 per cent, aiming to boost sluggish sales.
Geely’s November growth was also partly driven by the popularity of its new SUV models as well as consumer enthusiasm to buy smaller engine cars before that tax cut expires at the end of the month, said analysts from Morgan Stanley in a recent research note. Nearly 80 per cent of Geely’s cars have engines no larger than 1.6 litres.
“Strong SUV models and the ‘pre-buying’ effect should continue to support Geely’s sales into December,” they said.

Great Wall Motors also announced on Tuesday that its November sales jumped 43 per cent on-year to 129,087 units, while smaller rival Chery Automobile said its October sales rose 39 per cent to 50,780 units, again attributed to buyers taking advantage of the tax break.
However, according to a latest survey from Market News Internationals Indicators, the bumper end-of-year sales run contrary to other declines in consumer sentiment.
Its MNI China Car Purchase Sentiment Indicator edged down to 88.3 in November from 90 in October, weighed down by a noticeable rise in expected petrol costs.
Industry analysts now have serious concerns China’s car market could stall badly early in 2017.
“We view Geely as the most vulnerable within what could be an industry downturn in 2017,” Morgan Stanley analysts said, as purchase tax rates return to normal.
An aggressive capacity expansion plan by some makers in 2017 to 2018 could also drag down margins, they add, while more intense competition in China’s SUV segment could put further pressure on the company’s pricing and margins.

As a result, it has maintained its “Underweight” rating on Geely’s Hong Kong-listed stock, with a price target of HK$6 in the next 12 to 18 months, down 26 per cent from the current level.
Credit Suisse analysts have also downgraded China’s car sector as a whole to “Market Weight” from “Overweight”, due to the deceleration in sales growth from the fourth quarter and added margin pressures next year.
They actually reckon the tax cut policy could be extended into 2017, but warn the rate may increase as some point from (the current) 5 per cent to 7.5 per cent.
Looking ahead, Credit Suisse analysts expect Chinese passenger vehicle sales growth to slow to 3 per cent in the first half of 2017, as consumers are put off buying when the tax is reintroduced, describing the fourth quarter as benefiting from “front-loading demand”.
They also expect increased margin pressure on traditional car makersr, because of tougher fuel efficiency rules being introduced on petrol and diesel engines.
Lou Jia and Eric Hu, analysts from Bank of China International, however, predict quite the opposite to their peers, and expect the government to further scale down the vehicle purchase tax break from 5 per cent to 2.5 per cent, to maintain the recovery in domestic car demand, which would certainly benefit Chinese car makers.
They argue that Geely Auto, especially, could be less vulnerable than other domestic peers to potential tax policy changes, given that one of its key SUV models does not qualify for the tax benefit and will continue to drive its revenue growth, regardless of any cut or rise.

London's iconic black cabs are coming to Sydney

It may seem like the transport space is becoming crowded, but there's still room for improvement if the appearance of iconic London cabs in Sydney is any indication. On the street from Thursday, December 8, the vehicles are arriving thanks to taxi and ride-sharing app GoGatch, in collaboration with startup London Rides, created by British car enthusiasts Ross Pendergast and Elgan Potter.

The service is aimed at people who are not satisfied either with ride-sharing services, such as Uber, or traditional cabs, and brings some perks to the table.

Drivers will be required to wear a uniform of white shirt and black waistcoat, and each will be trained to make sure that they have expert knowledge of the city's streets, based on training which London cabbies undergo.

"We took elements of the Transport for London Knowledge driver training for prospective drivers, particularly around the customer focus and WHS elements, and integrated it into the two days of training we are providing drivers in Sydney," Pendergast said.

"The Transport for London Knowledge test includes around three years of practical training so that qualified drivers know their way around London without the use of a navigation system. In Sydney, passengers and drivers have developed trust in Google Maps providing accurate and most efficient route planning including directions and traffic updates."

The cars boast more spacious interiors, too. There's enough room for five passengers, but folding seats ensure that smaller groups can take advantage of the unused space.

"Passengers have told us that cleanliness and quality of customer service are their main frustrations with many traditional transport vehicles. The London Taxi TX4 vehicle is the only purpose built vehicle of its kind and by placing professional drivers behind the wheel, we are able to offer something completely new for the local market," Pendergast said in a statement.

The service will be allowed to operate under the same rules that legalised UberX in NSW in December of last year. Rideshare drivers are now allowed to operate with a hire care driver authorisation and a business registration for the car. Under these same rules, the London Rides cannot be hailed in the streets, but only booked via the GoCatch app.

Even with its "permium" perks, London Rides fares will be consistent with Sydney taxi fares, set by the NSW Transport regulations for taxis.

"Our experience in other markets has proved that passengers prefer to ride in a London Taxi vehicle. It's business class service for the price of economy," Pendergast said.

London Rides and GoCatch hope to have 85 vehicles rolled out by Christmas, 115 by mid-March of next year, and are aiming for 1,000 by 2018. As of December 14, there were 7,347 taxis operating across NSW.

London mayor to double funding to tackle air pollution

Campaigners hail announcement that funding for air quality measures will rise to £875m over the next five years

"A further £65m will be used to compensate and encourage taxi drivers to switch from the oldest black cabs – those more than 10 years old – to new ones capable of zero emissions, meaning they will either run on batteries or hydrogen."

Volvo-Mutter Geely Holdings bleibt auf Rekordfahrt

Weiter hochtourig läuft das Geschäft der chinesischen Zheijang Geely Holdings (ZGH) mit den Kernmarken Geely und Volvo. So verzeichnete Geely im November einen Absatzsprung um 99 Prozent und liegt jetzt im Gesamtjahr bei Plus 44 Prozent.

Bereits mehrfach in diesem Jahr hat Geely die Absatzprognose angehoben, wahrscheinlich wird auch das zuletzt gesetzte Ziel von 700.000 Einheiten übertroffen werden: bereits Ende November notierte die Verkaufszahl bei exakt 657.621 Einheiten. Besonders gut lief es im November mit +99 Prozent auf über 102.400 verkaufte Autos. Weil es auch bei Volvo mit +7,4 Prozent weltweit gut läuft, hat ZHG inzwischen auch die mittelfristige Gesamtprognose angehoben und peilt für 2020 einen Fahrzeugabsatz von zwei Millionen Einheiten jährlich an.

Dann schon mit der kürzlich aus der Taufe gehobenen neuen Marke Lynk & Co, mit der die Chinesen auch in Europa an den Start gehen werden. Insgesamt haben die zur ZGH gehörenden Marken Geely und Volvo in den ersten 11 Monaten 1,13 Millionen Fahrzeuge verkauft.

Ausschlaggebend für den starken Aufschwung insbesondere bei Geely ist die aktuelle Modelloffensive mit einer Schwerpunktsetzung im SUV-Bereich. So gehören der neue Boyue SUV, der Emgrand GS SUV und das SUV Vision zu den Modellen mit den höchsten Absatzzuwächsen im Geely-Portfolio. Topgewinner war aber mit +33 Prozent (28.842 Einheiten) die neue Emgrand Limousine.
