South America 2025 and the Asian automotive industry progression.

SELVO S30 - AMSIA MOTORS





SOUTH AMERICA
The automobile market will grow significantly by 2025, becoming one of the top three growth markets globally for light vehicle sales and presenting opportunities for improvements in fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions, according to a forecast by IHS Automotive, the leading provider of comprehensive content, expertise and insight on the global automotive industry.

IHS Automotive forecasts that nearly 2.3 million additional vehicles will be sold in South America by 2025, equal to the output of 10 modern assembly plants. Most of the growth will occur in Brazil, followed by Argentina and Colombia.

Brazilian lawmakers late in 2012 enacted legislation providing tax benefits aimed at encouraging manufacturers to improve vehicle efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, and increase local research and innovation. Brazil Ministry of Trade and Industrial Development (MDIC) hired IHS Automotive Consulting to help them understand the growth potential under the new law and provide guidance on how Brazil could significantly improve the fuel efficiency of Brazilian vehicles and reduce CO2 emissions by 2017.

Paulo Cardamone, Managing Director, IHS Automotive Brazil, says, �The new automotive regime will promote green technology, help Brazilian consumers by significantly improving the fuel efficiency of light vehicles and, in the process, make Brazilian vehicles technically competitive with those in Europe, the U.S. and Asia. Brazil can become a net exporter of vehicles in the not too distant future.� ref: www.ihs.com

ASIA.
The last twenty years have been an exciting time for the Automotive industry, given its challenges. To achieve, succeed or survive in a global market made some winners, resulting better or worse than others. Volkswagen with Tata Motor's merger was quite interesting: as it joined force in the South Asian market. Following that Fiat-Chrysler�s with Japan�s Suzuki and Maruti, but challenges prove to be there. Hyundai-Kia enforced its market gain with lots of efforts.

China revealing its might, has its very own car giant, as America�s GM recuperated from the mess of joint ventures between Chinese and foreign Automotive manufacturers. China and GM Motors General Motors launched Chinese brands resulting with rising sales across Asia.

EUROPE.
Europe's revitalization came through after a price, with GM�s Peugeot-Opel division enjoying a come-back but market is saturated. Ford taken over by IBM ware company was quite the shocking move for a company that is a stranger in Automotive industry. Regarding an investment, apparently they will sell the production operation to Magna.

EMISSION FREE.
Now, given that technology is improving targets for carbon-dioxide emissions are relatively at ease by offering natural-gas hybrids. Making methane gas and liquid fuels from bacteria and algae made the even stricter CO2 targets for 2025 much more attainable.

While hydrogen fuel cells are at work, these are competitive only in countries where the government has mandated the provision of hydrogen filling stations. Similarly, fully electric cars are predominant only in countries that can produce electricity cheaply, such as nuclear-powered France.

Provided the market intelligence report and diligent research for the emerging markets for the last 5 years, in addition to South America and Asia - opportunity presented itself and growth for Amsia Motors.
Competitive technology, efficiency, clean and green environment friendly automotive vehicle manufacturing is the edge with the focus of being cost effective.

Therefore without further due, implementing the resources strategically for expansion and growth in the emerging markets in Asia, South America primarily apart from Africa and the Middle East.

4 x 4 Double cabin Pick -Up, TRACKER by AMSIA.




There are over 170 auto makers in China, compared with around 35 in the in the US. By 2018, manufacturers are expected to have a combined output of 30 million cars, which would amount to an excess of 10 million units. Chinese government efforts to reduce pollution and congestion by imposing restrictions on car buyers don�t help.

And the competition is growing. Foreign automakers, desperate to offset declining sales in Europe, are investing heavily in China. General Motors has plans to boost its capacity to 5 million vehicles by 2015, and has outlined an $11 billion investment plan for the next four years. Ford opened a $300 million plant that will more than double its capacity in China. German giant Volkswagen wants to increase its workforce by a third by 2018, while luxury automaker Jaguar Land Rover is looking to boost its number of dealerships in Cina to 200 from 116.

Passenger vehicle exports, by both domestic and foreign companies, surged in the first four months of the year, according to the latest statistics.

From January to April, exports of sedans, sport-utility vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles, and minivans accelerated 24 percent from a year ago to 194,200 units, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

Overall, automobile exports increased by a more modest 12.7 percent to 316,000 units during the same period, dragged down by a 1.7 percent dip in the exports of commercial vehicles, to 121,900 units.

"China has become an important passenger vehicle export hub," said Namrita Chow, manager and senior analyst of consulting firm IHS Automotive.

Rest assured, with Amsia Motors largest Global Fortune 500 Automotive manufacturing Partners - the company last week set a new sales target of 552,000 vehicles, up from a goal of 507,200 units established at the beginning of the year. The revised target represents a 24 percent increase from its sales in 2012.
new-car sales in China rose 31 percent to 142,000 in the first quarter, a record for the automaker. Growth was driven by a 24 percent rise in deliveries by joint venture Auto manufacturing.

Joint ventures increased sales 37 percent in April to 45,303 units on demand for new models.
In July, the join venture Partners began a third assembly plant, in China, raising the partnership's annual capacity to 750,000 vehicles from 450,000 units.

Considering the import and export market's strong competition and growth, industry experts prognosis are that the main key players will remain to grow and sustain - while the smaller local Brands trying to compete with price compromising quality in the export market may decline sharply.

Given the advantage of technology, expertise, and excellence Amsia thrives forward strategically in both passenger, sports utility and commercial vehicles.

As the plans for Amsia Sergipe, in Brazil is undergoing strong impacted preparations, this new market presents enormous potential to expand and succeed with great magnitude.
