Inovev forecasts 45,000 units per year of the new Toyota Crown

- Toyota has just completely renewed its E-segment sedan, the Crown, which is blatantly evolving both aesthetically and mechanically. Indeed, the Crown, which was an ultra-conservative classic sedan with three volumes between 1955 and 2017 and which had switched to the hatchback in 2017, is going further with this new generation launched in the fall of 2022.


- The new version is presented in the form of a raised hatchback with certain traits of the SUV, so it now looks like a Peugeot 408, with the same dropout at the rear quarter window.


- However, three other bodies will be available in 2023, including a more classic hatchback. But it is the version presented here in photo which is put forward and which should be the most sold.


- Unlike previous versions, the new Crown will return to the US market in 2023 to replace the disappearing Toyota Avalon. The last Crown was sold in the USA in 1972.


- On the Japanese market, the Crown represents Toyota's top of the range, below the Century, which is much less popular and has a V8 engine. From a technical point of view, the Crown is also evolving. It now has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder turbocharged Mild-Hybrid engine with a choice of 236 hp or 340 hp. The new generation of the Crown will have to try to relaunch the career of a model which has declined significantly over the past fifteen years, going from 90,000 sales in 2005 to 50,000 in 2015 and 22,000 in 2021. Inovev forecasts 45,000 sales per year of the new generation, half of which in the United States.

The top 15 manufacturers in the world in the first five months of 2022

詳細
The top 15 manufacturers in the world in the first five months of 2022
- In a global market down 12% in the first 5 months of 2022 compared to the first 5 months of 2021, the ranking of the top 15 global car manufacturers has changed somewhat.

- However, the Toyota group remains the world's leading car manufacturer, with 4,175,037 vehicles produced over the period, which represents a slight drop of 3.5% compared to the previous period.

- The Volkswagen group remains the second largest manufacturer in the world, with 3,093,522 vehicles produced, which represents a drop of 16%, notably showing a loss of 250,000 sales in China and experiencing some difficulties in selling its ID3 and ID4.

- The Stellantis group (-5.3%) rose from fourth place to third, taking advantage of the decline of Renault-Nissan (-16.5%) victim of the shutdown of its production in Russia, a direct consequence of the war in Ukraine.

- The Hyundai-Kia group (-3.7%) resisted well and moved from fifth place to fourth, due to the decline of Renault-Nissan.

- The Renault-Nissan group (-16.5%) therefore finds itself in fifth position for the reasons mentioned above.

- The GM group, sixth, is one of the few to progress (+1.8%), but it is mainly thanks to its growth in South America, because the results in China and North America are down slightly . Luckily Wuling is progressing well.

- They are followed by Honda (-12.4%), Ford (-0.2%), Suzuki (+6.6%), BMW (-10.2%), Mercedes (-8.9%), Geely (-12 .8%), Changan (+26.2%), Tata (+19.0%) and BYD which achieved a spectacular breakthrough (+158%). Tesla is right behind.

The Volkswagen plant in Kassel in the age of the electric vehicle

詳細
The Volkswagen plant in Kassel in the age of the electric vehicle
- The Kassel plant (Land of Hesse, Germany) has been manufacturing internal combustion engines for Volkswagen for several decades. Due to the new direction taken by manufacturers following the various decisions of European governance to reduce CO2 emissions, this plant has been transformed to gradually produce electric motors. It was in 2015 that the transition began on the site with the manufacture of the electric motor for the Volkswagen e-Up, Skoda Citigo and Seat Mii. Then the plant gradually ramped up, with the launch of the Volkswagen ID3 and ID4 in 2020, then the ID5 and ID Buzz in 2022.

- From 105,000 units in 2020, the production volume of electric motors increased to 230,000 in 2021 and it will probably reach 250,000 units in 2022, 350,000 in 2023, 450,000 in 2024 and 550,000 in 2025. he Cassel plant could produce 900,000 electric motors per year, mainly for BEVs.

- The manufacturer's objective is to make Kassel one of the group's two factories dedicated to the manufacture of electric motors by 2030-2035, Volkswagen also plans to manufacture components for the next SSP technology platform there.

- A second factory, that of Gyor (Hungary), currently manufactures electric motors for the top of the range of the group, namely Audi and Porsche. The production volume of electric motors in this plant has increased from 70,000 units in 2020 to 130,000 in 2021 and will probably reach 150,000 units in 2022. Eventually, the production volume of this plant could reach 300,000 units per year.

European electric motor production sites

詳細
European electric motor production sites
- European engine production sites are increasingly manufacturing electric motors, in line with new emissions regulations (see article 1 on the 2022-17 Auto Analysis).

- Manufacturers preferred to keep their main internal combustion engine sites to gradually transform them into electric motor production plants rather than opening new factories dedicated to this type of manufacturing. In this context, some combustion engine production plants could however close between 2030 and 2035. Electric motor factories require less labor and fewer components.

- The factories that should survive this change of era are the following:
• Cassel in Germany and Gyor in Hungary for the Volkswagen group, Cleon in France for the Renault-Nissan group, Tremery in France for the Stellantis group. These three manufacturers have the largest engine production capacity.
• We must add Landshut in Germany for the BMW group, Schweinfurt in Germany for the Mercedes group, Wolverhampton in Great Britain for the Tata Motors group (Jaguar Land Rover), Skövde in Sweden for the Geely group (Volvo), Berlin in Germany for Tesla and Hildesheim in Germany for Bosch (electric Fiat 500).

- These ten factories will be the only ones to produce electric motors in Europe. In 2030, they will have a production capacity of 7 million engines per year, half of which for Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan and Stellantis.

The BEV market in Europe in the first six months of 2022

詳細
The BEV market in Europe in the first six months of 2022
- The market for 100% electric cars (BEV) in Europe (29 countries) reached 636,000 units in the first half of 2022 compared to 475,000 in the first half of 2021, which represents an increase of 34% over one year. The market share of these cars nevertheless remains low, at 11.5% of total European registrations, but it is progressing compared to last year, which did not yet reach 10%. It should be noted that this market share is especially noticeable in Western European countries, with Eastern European countries being less fond of this type of vehicle.

- The leading supplier of these electric cars in Europe is the Volkswagen group (with its various brands Volkswagen, Skoda, Audi, Porsche, Cupra) which sold 124,000 BEVs there in the first half of 2022 (compared to 117,500 in the first half of 2021). The Stellantis group (with its various brands Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Fiat, DS) consolidates its second place, with 114,000 units (against 74,000) and is approaching the Volkswagen group. The Tesla group is third, with 83,000 units (against 66,000) and has had a factory in Germany since April 2022 to manufacture its models for Europe. The Hyundai-Kia group is fourth, with 79,000 units (against 51,000), ahead of Renault-Nissan, with 70,000 units (against 66,000) which failed to take advantage of its lead acquired between 2012 and 2018. premium manufacturers BMW (52,000 units) and Mercedes (43,000 units), then the Chinese Geely (26,000 units) and MG (18,000 units). The first American, Ford is tenth (12,000 units) while GM is practically non-existent. Tata Motors (Jaguar Land Rover) and Geely (Volvo) follow well behind.
