CHINA-EU AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY UPDATES
#coronarampup #reboot #automobilindustrie #china
On April 29th I moderated the first “Corona Situation Room” with selected experts from the automotive industry in China and the EU.
The COVID19 crisis is the reason for the new format of the CAR Institute, organizer of leading conferences of the automotive and mobility industry in Germany and China. Especially the global automotive industry with open markets as well as international supply chains and just-in-time deliveries is facing extraordinary challenges. This initiative aims to offer orientation and support for the automotive industry in managing the COVID19 crisis and to improve the German-Chinese economic cooperation.
One expert from China and one from Germany, as well as a company representative, gave an update on the current situation. An open discussion with all speakers followed them.
The briefing took place in an exclusive round (by invitation only) and will provide a first-hand exchange of information for and with decision-makers on current issues such as production, supply chain implications, digitization, and market demand trends.
CORE QUESTIONS
- Production and supply chains in Germany and China in times of Corona. What experiences have been made in China and Europe since the beginning of the crisis?
- What are the new challenges in the field of logistics?
- Case study Duisburg Port on German-Chinese cooperation in logistics
- What possibilities and measures are there to make up for the lost potential after the shutdowns?
SPEAKERS
- Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Dudenh?ffer, CAR Institut
- Zhixin Wu, VP CATARC
- Erich Staake, CEO Duisburger Hafen AG (duisport)
- Moderator: Dr. Hans-Peter Kleebinder
DISCUSSION
Zhixin Wu reported the establishment of a new data management system to optimize and secure supply chains in China, the extension of state BEV funding and announced measures to optimize standards in China for the European automotive industry.
Erich Staake reported the first train that arrived from Wuhan in Duisburg 10 days ago since the outbreak of the COVID19 crisis, the trend that more finished products are currently being transported by rail to China and the potential for optimizing the capacity utilization of freight trains in both directions.
Ferdinand Dudenh?ffer predicted that China will emerge stronger from the COVID crisis as the economic locomotive of the global automotive industry. The USA remains unpredictable. Just in time delivery strategy will remain with stronger risk coverage and a more digitalized supply chain.
CONCLUSION
Corona shows us the vulnerability of our global economic system, which is based on the division of labour, optimization of manufacturing, labour costs, just-in-time production, and low-cost logistics processes.
60% of the participants came from China, 40% from Europe. Representatives from IBM, NIO, BMW, Huawei, CFLD German Desk, China Fortune Land Development, China International Promotion Agency, etc.
The final mood barometer among the 24 participants produced the following result:
How do you personally assess business development in the next 3 months?
8% optimistic / 55% cautiously optimistic / 33% pessimistic / 4% very pessimistic
