Why is FBR harassing the business community? It has come to our knowledge that, recently, the FBR was raiding various business premises in order to gain more tax revenue out of the existing taxpayers pockets instead of focusing on bringing in new tax payers into the loop. This approach was creating harassment issues in the business community and also harmed the image of the Government in the private sector. Even though the Chairman FBR insisted that the raids not be continued, it seemed like they did not stop and the matter reached up to FBR heads in order to stop troubling the taxpayers. The president of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Ahmed Hassan Moughal emphasized that there is a proper channel through which a genuine complaint against the taxpayer can be filed and FBR should take ICCI and concerned market association on board to resolve such issues with mutual efforts. Conducting sudden raids, taking record and computers into possession, arresting counter persons and sealing businesses appeared to be very disrespectful measures taken against the taxpayers. Ahmed Hassan Moughalalso called upon the government and Finance Advisor to stop FBR from pursuing such tactics. RafatFarid Senior Vice President and Iftikhar Anwar Sethi Vice President ICCI also spoke about the matter saying that the business community wants FBR to adopt a friendlier approach in trying to increase tax revenues and expanding the tax base in the country. Furthermore, this has a negative effect on the non-filers because they witnessed such harsh measures against the regular taxpayers, that they felt safe and secure in staying out of the tax net and issues of FBR. This obviously heightens the burden on regular tax payers as it’s unfair that they are forced to pay more tax rather than the FBR focusing on finding measures to bring the non-filers into the net. They further demanded that the Chairman FBR should take action against such officials who are part of harassing the business community and to stop these tactics immediately. Moreover, the taxpayers who were forced to pay fines must be returned their money back. After this coercive approach, the business community was looking forward to witness drastic changes in the FBR reforms by the Government. Moreover, the Government must solve the numerous issues regarding FBR because if these tactics continue, it would eventually discourage tax culture and also hinder further investment in Pakistan.

Exclusive review by Anwar Iqbal
TRACKS OF TRACTOR INDUSTRY AND MARKET IN PAKISTAN Al Ghazi Tractors Ltd., is the second largest producer of tractors in Pakistan. It was founded in 1983. They were producing Fiat brand tractors which was branded as New Holland later. Al Ghazi has a production capacity of thirty thousand units per annum.
T
ractors first emerged in the early 19th century when steam engines on wheels were used to help drive mechanical farm machinery using a flexible belt. The first portable steam engine used for agricultural purposes was invented by Richard Trevithick in 1812 and it was known as the Barn Engine. The Barn Engine was mainly used to drive a corn threshing machine. Advances continued and improvements to engines began to develop as the history of tractors continued. By 1903, Charles W. Hart and Charles H. Parr had successfully built the first American tractor using a two-cylinder gasoline engine.
capacity of the country is 70,000 units. The market is dominated by two manufacturers. Millat Tractor – Massey
tractors in CBU condition.Rana Tractor and Equipment Limited who were the sole distributors for Massey Ferguson
The back bone of Pakistan economy is agriculture. So we can say farm tractors are the main driving force of the Pakistan economy, thanks to the localization programme which was started in eighties by Pakistan Tractors cooperation, the industry achieved 95% localization in terms of production. Surprisingly due to this localization level, Pakistan is producing most cheapest tractors in the world: In 2017 over 60,000 tractors were sold in Pakistan whereas total production
Ferguson, Al Ghazi Tractor New Holland formerly Fiat. Their market share is 60 and 35 percent respectively. The remaining 5 percent share is of numerous brands like IMT, Balarus John Deereetc etc. Horse power of Pakistan tractors are from 55HP to 85HP. The first tractors in subcontinent which include Pakistan also was brought from the world war II during the mid 1940’s. When Pakistan gain independence in 1947 till 1964 Pakistan was importing
Tractors, established an engineering facility in Karachi in the year 1964, to assemble tractors from semi-knocked down kits, not only created new agricultural horizons but also paved the way for transfer of technology. The facility was shifted to Lahore in 1967. It was nationalized in 1972 and renamed as Millat Tractors. In 1991 the government announced the policy of privatization and Millat Group was formed to acquire 51% shares of the company. In 1992 the management

control of the company was handed over to the Millat Group.Now Millat Group is holding 60% shares of tractor market in Pakistan. Al Ghazi Tractors Ltd., is the second largest producer of tractors in Pakistan. It was founded in 1983. They were producing Fiat brand tractors which was branded as New Holland later. Al Ghazi has a production capacity of thirty thousand units per annum. IMT brand Tractors was introduced by Orient Automotive Industries in Pakistan. IMT is a Serbian Brand, Serbia was the part of former Yougosalavia.
Orient Automotive purchased the old plant of Allied Engineering who were producing Ford Tractors. The Russian Tractor brand Belarus is also very popular in Pakistan Since 60’s. It is considered the most durable and powerful tractor. Belarus Tractor was introduced by Fecto Group in Pakistan in the year 1962. In 1981 Fecto Group established their tractor assembly plant. The plant was situated in Lahore. Unfortunately this plant was closed in 2005-06. In the year 2015 a new tractor producer was emerged in Pakistan namely MTW
Pak Assembling Industries (Pvt) Ltd. It is a joint venture company, This company started assembly and marketing of Blarus Tractor again in Pakistan. Ali automobiles Karachi was also started assembly and production of Ford Tractors in late 60’s this company was also nationalized 1972 and renamed as Awami Autos Ltd. However the production and assembly of Ford Tractors was continued till eighties till thetake over of Awami Autos Ltd facilities by Suzuki. After that the franchise of Ford Tractors was shifted

to Allied Engineering Company which was a Haroon Group Company. They establish a new assembly plant for tractor production. Unfortunately this plant was also closed in late nineties. In 2006 again, Ford tractors were manufactured by international tractors Ltd with the brand name Euro-Ford, but this company could not sustain in Pakistani market. Later on in 2010 P.M. Auto Industry started to manufacture and assemble these tractors. They were importing CKD parts from Turkey. However this company was also closed in 2016. One more sad story of tractor
manufacturing in Pakistan is of Deutz Tractors. Deutz is a German origin company and producer of farm tractors also. Pakistan’s Adamjee Group signed a joint venture agreement for assembly of Deutz tractors in Pakistan in the year 1962 the JV company was Adamjee Deutz Pakistan Limited and tractor brand name was AdamjeeDeutz. This company established their assembly plant in Wah a small city near Rawalpindi. They started their local assembled tractor in early 1966. Unfor tunatel y in 1968 some management changes took place in Deutz Germany and principal name
changed as Deutz – Fahr. Subsequently in 1972 the government of Pakistan nationalized the tractor industry and this plant was closed. In 1975 a new tractor was introduced in Pakistan by a State Enterprise Company, Republic Motors Ltd. The tractor brand name was Zetor and the origin was Czechoslovakia, now known as check republic. I personally visited this plant in the year 2009. Now this company is 73 year old. This was also a rugged tractor but Republic Motors ceased their operations in the year 1977 after a huge fire broke out in the factory.

ACADEMIA INDUSTRIAL LINKAGE FOR AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERS IN PAKISTAN Abstract The Academia Industrial linkages will promote commercialization of industrial products and assist academicians for the fine tuning of the engineering curriculum keeping in mind the needs of local industries. Such linkages are extremely important and beneficial for industrial growth. However, this practice is generally not happening in Pakistan and therefore, need special attention. This could be one of reasons that we are still behind in technology and innovation. In contrast, the western world has made significant improvements in the industry in this post-industrial revolution era. Substantially, it was the contribution of academia which has bolstered the requirements of industry by providing authentic solutions by developing or improving the product to fulfill customer needs. This was a two-way solution; industry regularly faces human resource (specific expertise) and time constraints while universities lack in funds to support research activities at the campus. To remain competitive in the market is the biggest challenge that the industry faces today in Pakistan. The only solution to combat with this everdangling sword is innovation. This “innovation” will come from academia or industries establishing their own research and development departments, which do not fit particularly in the economy of scales for small and medium enterprises. The evolution in the industry of China, India and Thailand are being driven by massive efforts towards creating awareness/realization of the importance of academia-Industry link and by executing it in truespirit by bringing Government, academia and entrepreneurs under the same roof.
Background Introduction
and
The objective of Pakistan Society of Agricultural Engineers (PSAE) seminar
Agriculture and land use in Pakistan. (Only major crops) Picture courtesy: Wikipedia
is to establish an academia-industry link and allow the two to benefit together. Such linkages are extremely beneficial for the industry (to find an authentic solution to their concerns) and students (to ascertain current industry challenges and become more useful to the industry). While appreciating the topic of the seminar, one should not overlook the fact that our farm machinery industry supposedly relevant to agricultural engineers does not exist. This industry comprises of over 1000 manufacturers of agricultural equipment but mostly are blacksmiths operating from small workshops. They have low skill level workers with no education and training about modern manufacturing practices. The other segment of the industry is making auto parts, cement and sugar mills turn key projects, automobiles plants, metallurgical units and many other similar industries involved in mechanical engineering projects have no clue that agricultural engineers could be employed, or their universities could be assig ned any research and
development work. The two giants of tractor industry enjoy oligopoly, produce 65000 tractors per annum on average, employ agricultural engineers in their marketing division only. Even tractor plants are not convinced or still unaware that agricultural engineers can work in technical areas and their universities /students are fully capable of undertaking any research assignment related to mechanical engineering. The tractor industry has indigenized production of about 95% and only 5% of the parts are imported. The agricultural engineers neither employ nor are involved in any R&D activities at university level to resolve tractor vendor industry technical issues. Due to CPEC, the trucking sector is booming with new entrants setting up their progressive manufacturing plants. The same thing is occurring in the Automobile sector. Alas, our vocation is totally unrecognized. We need to tap this market which will open new avenues of employment and bring industrial assignments to the agricultural engineering faculties for R&D. We have covered briefly only the farm machinery side of this field, the other fields like irrigation and energy are in the same boat. T hi s si tuati on pro vi des amp le opportunity to discuss a) whose task is this? b) should universities be the promoters of this profession? Isn’t this the Government’s responsibility t o i n t ro d uc e i n d us t r y / ma r k et before starting a new engineering discipline? What were the dynamics that caused the industry to believe that the agricultural engineering vocation is deficient in undertaking auto parts manufacturing and other engineering related jobs, and is rather only of help in the marketing sectors? Is it because the title of the degree confuses the aud ience due to t he word “Agricultural”? We see an issue in the understanding of

Monthly AutoMark International the market which is aggravating with every passing day. Agricultural engineers are trained to solve agriculture related issues not to deal with the manufacturing industry. Moreover, we have strong feelings that when strategy should be worked out to develop academia- Industry link, there is an utmost need to address the lost segment of the industry to introduce agricultural engineering vocation to them. This includes manufacturing /assembly of automobile, tractor and trucking parts. The steel mills, cement industry and sugar mills and similar other sectors where agricultural engineers can perform well as their curriculum fulfills the requirements to undertake jobs in these areas of engineering. At the same time their faculty is fully capable to find solution of the industrial problems falling in manufacturing/product development sector. Once we overcome the above challenges, the following suggestion could help bringing universities closer to the Industry/entrepreneurs.
a- Gap Identification: A vast knowledge gap has been found between the agricultural engineering graduates versus the current challenges present at the grass root level impeding agricultural growth. The major reasons of this gap are coming from the foreign books prescribed for various subjects and the faculty in total isolation with field research and industry. We can’t replace these books but find a solution to keep studen ts current and bri dge field/industry gap. b- Tool Identification: What methodology should be used to minimize this gap? National policy is required to bring universities and entrepreneurs close. Curriculum review to incorporate new developments in the field of science and technology. What else could be done? c-Create Awareness: Make students and teachers aware of the gaps to be able to 1-better educate students and 2students can better equip themselves to deal with local issues to be prepared for the local market.
d- A c a dem i a- In du st ry collaboration: Academia should
visit the industry or arrange seminars to persuade them to engage agricultural universities to find field/industrial solutions for their problems through quantitative and/or applied /fundamental research. The funds should be assigned to MPhil/PhD students to conduct specific research and suggest possible solutions. e- Lobby government to enforce international standards of safety, and product design on the products being sold in the country. This will curtail the tendency of shortcuts taken and supply/produce provided without any considerations of human life and environment. The academia can assist industry to ensure conformity with international standards of their products.
f- Policy Formulation: Federal and provincial Government should declare it mandatory for Industries to offer internship programs (Criteria to decide number of internships to be offered based on size of Industry) to final year students for a minimum period of 5 months. g- Guest speakers should be invited once a year to give lecture on any agricultural Engineering area (Pakistan specific) and invite/ encourage students to a question and answer session. The speaker should be allowed to publicize his product. A nominal fee can be charged to display his products while boarding and lodging could be provided by the university. h-Job fairs/Seminars be arranged in the University Campus to provide first hand awareness to the students about the industry and in return industry’s expectations from the new graduates.
i- Consolation prizes /awards are announced for BSC students conduct primary research on any relevant topic during their summer vacations. j- English Language: Attract students to learn spoken English and business communication for speedy absorption in the Industry.
k- Proper labs and facilities should be provided to accommodate existing issues in the market as well as implement modern and effective practices.
l- Academia should write
letters
t o aut omo bi le p art s manufacturers (around 500) to introduce agricultural engineering curriculum and offer research and development assistance.
Conclusion It is a known fact that academia-industry link will bring innovation, development and competitiveness, which in return will provide a sustainable growth to Pakistan market and dependence on import will be decreased. Agricultural engineering is in an unusual state due to lack of awareness about their curriculum, capacity and capability in the market/industry. This situation has deprived agricultural engineers because majority of the industry engaged in production of spare parts, machines, design & development or other engineering assignments have no introduction of this trade. They are unaware of their potential to the industry. The agricultural engineering faculty (Academia) should devise modus operandi to approach small - medium businesses (industry) on a regular basis to convince /persuade them to bring their product development/ improvement and modernization projects to the university to find theoretical solutions to improve the product. The Government should make a policy to allocate budget to fund basic research to support public need projects. The Government should directly support industry to improve their process, p r o ce d ur es an d r e se ar c h an d development activities to be able to manufacture high tech machines me e t i n g i nt er n a t i o n al qu al i t y standards.

Exclusive Article by Ali Hassan
APMA Budget Proposal FY20 GST cut on bikes to boost ailing sales, APMA chief Sabir Sheikh says
A number of bike assemblers have been in distress for the last few months amid negative sales tren. It is hard to give any specific reason on dwindling bike sales of some big Chinese assemblers and Japanese assembler Atlas Honda Limited (AHL) but market people say that frequent price hike in bikes by the assemblers on rupee-dollar parity has hit consumers’ buying power followed by slowdown in sales in rural areas due to drop in Kharif crop production. Besides, food inflation has also soared to new peak after PTI government coming into power, thus pushing up cost of living. As the government is not in a position to face any further revenue crunch amid looming shortfall of over Rs 300 billion – Chinese bike assemblers said that two per cent cut in general sales tax to 15 per cent would bring down bike prices and help achieving more revenue on rising bike sales. As Budget 2019-2020 is round the corner -- Chairman Association of Pakistan Motorcycle Assemblers (APMA), Mohammad Sabir Sheikh sheds some light on various duties and taxes and its impact on the trade and industry.
Customs duties A number of customs duties exist currently on two wheeler industry that include SRO 655 and customs duties
from 10 per cent to 20 per cent on import of assemblies, sub assemblies, components and sub components. Under same SRO, there is zero per cent duty on raw materials. There are 50 per cent customs duties on OEMs under SRO 656 (2006). Under additional duty for OEMs, another SRO 693 (2006) also prevails. For commercial importers, customs duties hover between 50 to 55 per cent. Chairman APMA, Mohammad Sabir Sheikh urged the government to completely abolish above SROs and introduce a uniform rate of duty for OEMs, commercial importers, parts makers etc.
Sales Tax Currently 17 per cent has been imposed on every locally made items for registered firms and end users. But, non registered firms pay additional three per cent tax in addition to 17 per cent, making a cumulative 20 per cent. In Pakistan, manufacturers and
importers have registered bogus retail shops to save three per cent additional sales tax, which they show low sales and also evade the sales tax. APMA chief said there is a dire need to register every retailer in the tax net. He asked the government to hold a meeting with APMA so that the issue of broadening sales tax could be discussed at length. The government should reduce the 17 per cent sales tax on registered retailers, dealers, importers and manufacturers to 15 per cent. For non registered dealers and retailers, sales tax should be 22 per cent. As the profit margin of retailers is only two per cent and non registered retailers could not justify its sales by paying 22 per cent sales tax. He said he can explain the above issue in details if any FBR and finance ministry representatives can hold a meeting with APMA.
Electric bikes Motorcycle is the biggest segment in terms of petrol consumption. Many people think that bike sector consumes over 60 per cent of total petrol sales in the country. The 70cc bikes, currently plying on the roads, are like toys which have been closed down decades back in many countries. Currently they do not exist in the world except Pakistan.

Monthly AutoMark International As Pakistan mainly deals with China in two wheeler segment, time has changed following rising sales of electric bikes in China. He said Pakistan should start making efforts to shift towards electric bikes to save precious foreign exchange being spent on import of petrol. Electric bike does not have any engine. But unfortunately, our OEMs and part makers have failed to develop a complete engine. Major parts of engine are being imported. Pakistan should strive hard to move towards electric bikes in near future as the country already has body parts and battery makers.
Sooties Now a days, scooties have started making inroads in big cities as girls are seen enjoying the new two wheeler. To support this mode of transport, the government should relax duties and taxes to promot e local manu facturing. Sabir said Pakistani consumers have a bad luck as they have been using same look models of 70cc-125cc for decades with different names. This is because of lack of any government’s interest to prevent production of replica models. Luckily these same type of models have received good response from the consumers especially Honda, Super Power, Unique, Super Star, United, Road Prince, Hi Speed, etc while others could not survive. Every year or a gap of two years, these companies introduce new year’s models with slight cosmetic changes in stickers but keep the main frame, engine, design and chassis same.
Few years back, there were more than 100 bike assemblers registered with the government but now only 40 of them are enjoying success. Many of them had either closed down while others are finding hard due to depressed sales. The parts and accessories have remained same for decades in 70cc-125cc but the brand name of bike is different. In bikes, Honda rules the market because of its quality and good resale value. It is also a market leader in the world. Despite the fact that Honda 70cc125cc bikes are far expensive than Chinese versions, but they excel in sales because of their quality and durability. Honda claims to have achieved over 94 per cent localization. However, Honda bikes, despite being market leader, could not introduce various varieties of bikes and remained focused on two models mainly (Honda CD70cc and Honda 125cc). In India, consumers have over 100 choices from various manufacturers and this choice has emerged in the last 20 years. Sabir Sheikh said Honda 125cc is available in three different designs based on same engine and frame. Same is the case with Yamaha 125cc bike. He said various governments have never
bothered to check this malpractice of big players. Pakistan produces over 2 million bikes per annum in which the share of 70cc bikes is 75 per cent followed by 10 per cent of 100-110cc and 15 per cent by 125-150cc. Sabir said he failed to understand the market strategy of Japanese bike assemblers especially Honda in adopting lukewarm approach in unveiling new models especially when it enjoys reputation and volume which others assemblers lack. To some extent, the Chinese bike assemblers have been taking risk in introducing new models of 70cc-150cc and many of them have tried to change the entire design of bikes. He added Japanese assemblers also get some benefit in customs duties but the price of bikes has been raised several times in the last 14 months to offset the impact of rising cost of imported materials owing to rupee depreciation against the dollar. He said one dollar was equal to Rs 110 in January 2018 which swelled to Rs 126 when PTI government came into power. After heavy turbulence in the last few months, one dollar now sells at Rs 143 in interbank market, making imported parts and accessories costlier. Sabir said in an uncertain business environment especially after the resignation of Finance Minister Asad Umar – it is hard for the businessmen and industrialists to work smoothly. Nobody knows the fate of rupee-dollar parity as market is already a buzz with reports of one dollar to reach Rs 150 by

The company’s net sales turnover for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 increased by 18% to Rs117.98 billion as compared to Rs99.83 billion for the same period last year, while profit after tax decreased by 12% to Rs10.26 billion as against Rs11.64 billion achieved for the same period last year. The overall revenue mainly increased due to improved volumes of Toyota Corolla, whereas, the net profit declined mainly on account of the rise in input
costs due to the depreciation of PKR against USD and JPY. The company, along with its automotive peers, has been raising prices in multiple phases since 2018. Commenting on the performance, Indus Motor Company CEO Ali Asghar Jamali, said that the recent imposition of 10% FED has drastically reduced the sales volumes of 1700cc and above vehicles. This needs to be revisited by the gov ernment in ord er to att ain sustainable volumes for the sector, that will not only support the auto sector but will also result in higher overall revenue to the government. The Board of Directors declared third interim cash dividend of Rs30 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 which, on cumulative basis, adds up to Rs87.5 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to Rs95 per share for the same period last year. The company has extended the warranty period from 2 year or 50,000 km to 3 years or 100,000 km, for all CKD and CBU products i n line with it s commitment to the ‘Customer First’ philosophy.

From truck art on his foxy and bicycles to promoting Pakistan Post, spreading awareness regarding the severe water crisis to urging his country’s airlines to start their operations in Pakistan, Martin Kobler’s efforts remained incredible.
continued from previous page June this year. It means more price shocks in two wheelers. Bike sales showed mixed trend in 9MFY19. For example, Honda bike sales slightly plunged to 823,918 from 838,395 in same period last fiscal. On the contrary, Suzuki and Yamaha sales improved to 17,873 and 18,193 from 15,971 and 15,083 units. Like Honda sales’ decline, United Auto Motorcycle, ountry’s second largest bike assembler also followed the suit as it sold 281,776 in 9MFY19 versus 302,979 in 9MFY18. Road Prince Bike also suffered major sales drop to 123,348 as compared to 167,702 units in July-March 2017-2018. Ravi bike sales plummeted to 19,534 units from 20,825 units. Like tractors, the two wheelers is also rural centric. Tractor sales, however, started recovering from January 2019 after remaining dismal in the last quarter of 2018, but it could not lift cumulative sales in 9MFY19 which stayed flat. Fiat and Massey Ferguson sales plunged to
13,871 and 23,550 units as compared to 20,888 and 31,179 units in 9MFY18. The fall in bikes and tractors sales reflects the state of rural economy, which has been hurt by lower kharif production this year. Keeping in view mixed trend in bike sales and unsatisfactory tractor sales, APMA chief Sabir Sheikh urged the government to reduce general sales tax on these two main segments so that sales could achieve its past glory. Depressed tractor sales reflect poor state of rural economy. According to State Bank of Pakistan’s Second Quarterly Report 2018-2019 on the state of Pakistan Economy, the agriculture sector continued to face issues regarding shortage of water, higher fertilizer prices and decline in output of major kharif crops. Production of crops declined during this kharif season. More specifically, compared to last year, there has been a reduction of 1.1 million bales for cotton, 13 million tonnes for sugarcane, and 0.3
million tonnes for rice respectively. While demand management policies affected manufacturing activities, agriculture was faced with sector specific issues. Scarcity of water remained the main challenge, resulting in decline in area under cultivation of major crops. In addition to water shortages, higher fertilizer and other input prices further complicated the situation during Q2FY19. As a result, the sowing of wheat (the only major crop of rabi season and the largest crop of the year) has been constrained. The performance of livestock and minor crops will be critical in determining the overall growth in the agriculture sector for FY19. Historical data substantiates better growth in production of minor crops when major crops are in distress. If this holds true, minor crops, including fodder, are expected to perform better.

Exclusive Article by Ali Hassan
Pakistan Auto Show 2019 achieves big success? Amid pros and cons, organizers like Petrol Solution and Weldon team, Nabeel Bin Tariq and PAPS2019 Organizing Committee & Head, Mashood Ali Khan and PAAPAM Chairman Mohammad Ashraf Sheikh worked hard to make the show a great success compared to previous Auto Show in Pakistan
That was really a fabulous auto show. Was it really? No really it was not. The Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS2019) should have been the talk of the town, but unfortunately, like past tradition, it had again missed the opportunity in becoming a memorable show due to lack of vision among the vendors and the
organizers. Auto shows like this kind all over the world catch the print and electronic media attention owing to introduction of new innovative products, but PAPS2019, under the leadership of PAAPAM, was just a routine family show where vendors and their families hug
and praise each other, really. Serious efforts by PAAPAM members to bring in Industries Minister Abdul Razzak Dawood for its inauguration failed miserably as the Minister did not turn up. The head of Engineering Development Board (EDB) and other senior EDB officials also could not mark

Monthly AutoMark International their attendance followed by absence of Board of Inves tment se nior management and officials. This gesture shown by government representatives usually hit the sentiments of the organizers. EDB's Asim Ayaz and his team were available at PAPS 2019 for all three days. Surprisingly, Railway Minster Sheikh Rasheed graced the award distribution ceremony and gala dinner but his presence literally did not hold any relevance and significance with the auto show. This year’s show should have excelled with previous shows as 15 new entrants had been granted green field status followed by two in brown field under Auto Policy 2016-2021. However, hardly only two new investors had set up their stalls at the show. If one believes that unveiling of locally assembled Suzuki Alto 660cc in place of Suzuki Mehran 800cc stole the show, well, that cannot be said here with authority. Alto 660cc was not a new vehicle for the Pakistani market as its used imported versions were already available at the used car dealers’ showrooms for the last two years. So there was nothing new in terms of Alto's introduction. However, consumers must have been very excited to hear its actual price in comparison to price of Rs 1.3-1.4 million of its used imported version. But they could not know the price. Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited (PSMCL) had already started booking new Alto with initial advance payment of Rs 500,000 while the rest of the amount would be paid by the customers on getting delivery by June. Market sources said consumers had gone wild for new Alto by booking over 5,000 vehicles which is beyond the target of Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited (PSMCL). They said the company had to suspend the booking for April after exhausting of quota for April. This Alto, having 57 per cent local contents, may cover up the vacuum of Mehran on which the PSMCL financial balance sheet turned into red in first quarter of 2019. Consumers cautiously hope that Alto 660cc would witness complete model change if it is going to stay for long run but not like Mehran on which PSMCL befouled customers by keeping its shape, design, engine etc unchanged for 30 years. Let’s hope for the best
in view of boiling up of competition in the next one to two years among existing assemblers and upcoming new entrants. Vendors say that Pakistan has so far been the only country where Alto 660cc is being assembled after Japan. The next attraction of PAPS was the launching of Changan vehicles under the aegis of Master Motors. Master Motor Ltd. (MML) was all set to start local production of three vehicles Changan M-8, Changan M-9, and Changan Karvaan in April, CEO, Master Motors, Danial Malik announced at the show. MML built the plant in Karachi with a production capacity of 30,000 vehicles per annum within 13 months’ record time. This state of the art environmentally friendly facility is designed to achieve phase-wise automation, with the last phase resulting in full automation by 2025, he said. MML is a Joint Venture between Master Motor Corporation Ltd (MMCL) and Changan International Corporation (with 70/30 equity partnership). This is the first joint venture in Pakistan with a global brand to manufacture cars in Pakistan, claimed Danial. Changan is the No 1 Chinese automobile brand for over a decade now, while it has since been maintaining the average growth of 16.4 per cent per annum. Danial said “we have already started to select vendors and initiate the process
of intensive localization, which will help promote and uplift the local vendor industry and as a result, lower the cost of manufacturing to better compete in regional markets.” CEO Kia Lucky Motors (KLM), Asif Rizvi gave a good news by revealing that KLM is gearing up to start booking of vehicles in June 2019 and launch its SUV, KIA Sportage by August 2019 and 1000cc car KIA Picanto In October 2019. He said the company stands fully committed to localization. “The pace of localization may be a little slower but
not because of the concessionary duty regime or a lack of desire to localize but only due to low volume at the start and simultaneous launch of multiple products not attempted previously,” he explained and requested the EDB to now link the very successful tariff based localization regime to volume, so that high technology products having low volume can be introduced viably. He said that in order to unleash this huge potential in the auto industry, Pakistan needs to take some measures. ”Today 30-38 per cent of the value of a car assembled in Pakistan is collected by the Government in the shape of various levies. While I cannot advocate lowering of duties on CKD kits only as this would have detrimental effects on the viability of localized parts, it can be advocated to reduce CKD duty and an equivalent reduction of duty on components that go into manufacture of local parts,” said CEO KLM adding that the safest reduction of levies would be in the form of reducing sales tax and FED. “Government should take measures to increase volume so that the revenue to the government is earned by smaller levies on larger volume, rather than larger levies on smaller volumes. The former also will serve to increase localization, employment and taxes,” he added. At a time when the world auto assemblers are making serious effort to phase out fossil fuel vehicles with electric cars in the next decade followed by targets set by various countries to introduce electric vehicles, there was no stall of any electric vehicle at the so called grand auto show. There were some reports that some new investors had imported electric cars from China in the last one year but nobody came up for electric vehicle display at PAPS2019. Amid a robust presence of consumers at KIA, Suzuki and Master Motor’s stalls – the hustle and bustle at the Indus Motor Company’s stall was missing as the maker of Toyota vehicles had nothing new to offer at the show. Vehicles like Corolla, Hilux, Fortuner and Revo vehicles now do not lure customers any more. For Honda car lovers, Honda Civic (facelift edition) was shining at the show. However, it was already launched in Lahore prior to PAPS. Both IMC and Honda Atlas Cars had

Pakistan Railways to provide support to local auto parts manufacturers In a bid to achieve a higher ratio of localization of auto parts, Pakistan Railways have announced to provide full support to the local auto parts industry. A majority of auto parts or the raw material to manufacture them is currently being imported from other countries which have put immense pressure on the economy. There is a need to produce auto parts locally in order to stabilize and bring equilibrium to the prevailing economic crisis. In this regard, the Minister of Railways Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad has offered to facilitate the local auto parts industry in producing these parts locally. He was present at the Gala Dinner of Pakistan Auto Parts Show (PAPS) 2019 which continued for three days from 12th-14th April. At this occasion, he said that Pakistan Railways could become a massive market for the auto parts manufacturers. He also wants to discover more opportunities in the auto sector through a partnership with the Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts & Accessories Manufacturers (PAAPAM). He further stated that the business
community needs to take charge in order to address prevailing economic challenges in Pakistan. On this occasion, the Chairman of PAAPAM Muhammad Ashraf Shaikh said that Pakistan Railways was previously one of the biggest customers of auto parts manufactured in Pakistan. The situation has now entirely changed as Pakistan Railways imports these parts. He further urged the government to devise an incentive-based localization plan for the auto parts industry along the lines of Automotive Development Policy (ADP) 2016-21. Former Chairman of PAAPAM, Mashood Ali Khan highlighted that the cooperation of Railways Minister in promoting the local auto parts industry would go a long way in the development of the sector to the desired level of production capacity. Pakistan Auto Parts Show 2019 was a hugely successful event with a number of international exhibitors, auto parts manufacturers and leading automakers taking part to showcase their products and upcoming cars. PAPS has now become the largest automotive event in Pakistan.
Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki Collaborating On Electric Standards The big four Japanese motorcycle manufacturers are reportedly working on unified standards for electric motorcycles. The future of two-wheelers seems to be transforming into electric and now reports out of Japan indicate that Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki are working together on various standards for electric motorcycles. The four Japanese manufacturers plan to form a consortium that will work together to develop common platforms for battery, charging and other items for electric motorcycles and scooters. It does not necessarily mean that the hardware, like batteries and chargers will be shared across brands, but more likely the power source design and charging infrastructure which can be shared across the brands. The move is seen as a boost to get more people to ride electric motorcycles and has been designed to prevent many different st andards from being established for charging stations and other infrastructure. None of the four Japanese two-wheeler giants have a production electric motorcycle yet, but it's no secret that electric motorcycles will be manufactured and introduced at some stage by the brands.
continued from previous page never showcased any new products at PAPS previous shows. IMC always puts on a display a skeleton type Corolla to satisfy visitors of achieving high localization while assembler of Honda vehicles do not take pain for such things. Claiming higher localization by the assemblers looks ridiculous in view of a series of price shocks given by the assemblers to the consumers from January 2018 till April 2019, citing falling rupee against the dollar. Surprisingly, with huge involvement of Chinese businessmen with Pakistan, sizable numbers of Chinese assemblers were also missing at the show. Only few assemblers participated at PAPS. Nobody knows why? In a big city like Karachi with population of over 20 million, people of Karachi always expect to witness something big. In PAPS, vehicle enthusiasts must be
expecting many other variants of vehicles but they returned home disappointed. United Bravo, Chinese branded 1,300cc FAW V2, Hyuandi, JWForland Trucks, Hino commercial vehicles, Dongfeng trucks, Sinotruck and recently launched Isuzu pickup D-Max were nowhere at P AP S, maki n g p eo p le a li t t le disappointed. To make this automotive show truly successful and equally popular in all the classes, PAPS organizers should have forced and encouraged all the auto manufacturers to come to the event and display their vehicles. As per past practice PAPS had always been lacking full participation of the auto sector stakeholders. We hope that next time the organizers will motivate all the local assemblers to become a part of Pakistan's biggest automotive event and exhibit their
products. Sources said that one of the reasons of lukewarm response from stakeholders was exorbitant rent rates for stalls at PAPS. Many of them had already participated at My Karachi 2019. Many stakeholders felt that it was not feasible to pay 500,000 stall rent for three days. Many v en dors and companies' representatives complained that very high rent for stalls discouraged them from participating in this exhibition. Amid pros and cons, organizers like Petrol Solution and Weldon team, Nabeel Bin Tariq and PAPS2019 Organizing Committee & Head, Mashood Ali Khan and PAAPAM Chairman Mohammad Ashraf Sheikh worked hard to make the show a great success compared to previous PAPS.

Show was also need of the time because 15 new Greenfield foreign direct investment had already announced their local productionplan as OEM which started searching local parts manufacturing market.
Era of Pakistan Auto Parts Show PAPS started from 1995, when PAAPAM members first time displayed their products from auto industry platform. Show was organized in Marriot Hotel, Islamabad from 9th to 11th December 1995 in which 42 members were participated. Chaudhry Mukhtar, then Federal Commerce Minister from 1993 to 1996 in Benazir Bhutto led cabinet, was the chief guest.
It was fully sponsored by Export Promotion Bureau and first time in history of Pakistan government officials took a glimpse of specialized and hi-tech parts which were being manufactured in Pakistan.

Indus Motors Increases Car Prices from Rs65,000 to Rs307,000 Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) has once again increased the price of its Corolla and IMV vehicles due to depreciation of Pakistani currency against the US dollar. Meanwhile, the prices of Corolla XLi, GLi, Altis, Grande, Hilux, and Fortuner models have also jacked up due to the constant wave of inflation. After the price revision, the new rates of Toyota Corolla XLI, XLI AT, GLI and GLI AT will be Rs2.109 million, Rs2.184m, Rs2.364m and Rs2.439m, respectively with each increase in price by Rs65,000. Similarly, the price of Altis 1.6 has hiked by Rs100,000 to Rs2.674m, Altis 1.8MT by Rs111,100 to Rs3.069m and 1.8 CVT rising by Rs109,600 to Rs3.205m. The prices of Fortuner’s diesel and petrol
variants has also been revised by Rs307,100 and Rs260,100 to Rs7.819m and Rs7.299m, respectively. Similarly, Hilux prices have been jacked up by Rs80,000 and that of Revo by Rs150,000. A company dealer said the constant rupee depreciation against the dollar has pushed up cost of imports of parts and accessories. According to him, IMC had increased prices due to the increase in the cost of completely knocked down kits and local parts. Last month, Toyota IMC had revised the prices of its vehicles, including Toyota Corolla and its variants, Toyota Hilux and its variants and various other Toyota CBUs. A similar hike in Toyota car prices were seen in November 2018.
MoU signed to manufacture Chinese heavy transport vehicles in Pakistan A memorandum of understanding has been signed, whi ch will allow manufacturing of Chinese heavy t ransp ort vehicles and related technology in Pakistan to reap the benefits of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. The Rawal Industrial Equipment and Malik Group of Companies entered into the agreement in this regard at a ceremony held here at a hotel. Chairman and CEO of Malik Group of Companies Malik KhudaBaksh and CEO of Rawal Industrial Equipment Farrukh Kamal signed the MoU on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, Kamal said that his company had been formed some four years back in view of the increasing trade relations between China and Pakistan in the backdrop of the CPEC. He said that assembly plant for the indigenous manufacturing of the heavy t ransp ort vehicles and related technology was being established at Daudkhel in District Mianwali, which is situated on the route of the CPEC. The assembly plant will start its production by the end of current year. He said that his unit would initially create up to 5,000 job opportunities.
He said that one of the prime productions of this assembly plant would be luxury buses whose demand in the country would increase with tourism prospects increasing in Pakistan. Trucks, tankers, excavators, prime movers, earth moving machinery, and related technology will also be assembled at the plant. Speaking on the occasion, Malik KhudaBaksh said that the main reason his company had entered into the agreement was the massive demand for buses for public transportation in urban parts of Sindh including specialised vehicles required for the proposed Bus Rapid Transit System in Karachi. "This is really need of the hour," he said while adding that he had been in contact with Sindh Transport Department to introduce such buses of Chinese-origin for public transportation service in cities like Karachi. The assembly plant in DaudkhelNearKalabagh will produce 600 Sunlong buses per annum, 5000 Shacman trucks, 10,000 CIMC-RJST Semi trailers and Tankers. Cost of the Project is 7 to 10 million US Dollars. -PR

Govt has no intention to remove FED for cars 1700cc and above There is fake news in the market about the removal of the 10% federal excise duty (FED) on all cars above 1700cc. Our sources confirmed that there is no such intention by the Government or the FBR on the removal of 10% FED. Local cars that have an engine displacement of 1700cc and above will continue to pay the 10% FED which means a higher price for all car manufacturers. The imposition of 10% FED on cars with an engine capacity of more than 1700cc had earlier sent up a trial balloon for the auto sector. Following this, all manufacturers have also hiked prices of its cars by around 11.5% to pass on the impact of recently introduced federal excise duty on cars of over 1700cc c ap a ci t y , c o up l e d w i t h r u p e e depreciation.

Toyota and DENSO reach agreement on transfer contract for consolidating electronic component operations Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki And Kawasaki Collaborating On Electric Standards The big four Japanese motorcycle manufacturers are reportedly working on unified standards for electric motorcycles. The future of two-wheelers seems to be transforming into electric and now reports out of Japan indicate that Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki are working together on various standards for electric motorcycles. The four Japanese manufacturers plan to form a consortium that will work together to develop common platforms for battery, charging and other items for electric motorcycles and scooters. It does not necessarily mean that the hardware, like batteries and chargers will be shared across brands, but more likely the power source design and charging infrastructure which can be shared across the brands. The move is seen as a boost to get more people to ride electric motorcycles and has been designed to prevent many different stand ard s from being established for charging stations and other infrastructure. None of the four Japanese two-wheeler giants have a production electric motorcycle yet, but it's no secret that electric motorcycles will be manufactured and introduced at some stage by the brands, and in fact both Honda and Kawasaki are working on making electric motorcycles as recent patent filings reveal, so we may get to see some sort of electric motorcycle sooner than later, from at least more than one brand. Among the popular brands, so far only Harley-Davidson has gone to town with its electric range in the LiveWire series. Even in India, the world's largest twowheeler market, giants like Hero MotoCorp and TVS Motor Company are believed to be working on several electric two-wheeler products. TVS is likely to introduce some sort of electric scooter. It will be only a matter of time till we begin to see mainstream electrification of two-wheelers.
Toyota and DENSO announce that they have made a formal decision and reached agreement toward concluding a contract to transfer core electronic component operations to DENSO Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and D EN SO C o rp o rat i o n (D EN SO ) announce that they have made a formal decision and reached agreement toward concluding a contract to transfer core electronic component operations to DENSO. In June 2018, both companies reached a basic agreement to consolidate the core electronic component operations of both Toyota and DENSO within DENSO, and began detailed studies. C u rr en t l y, T o y ot a ’s e le ct r on i c component operations are conducted by both Toyota and DENSO. In the future, these development functions and p rod u ct ion op erat io ns wi ll b e consolidated within DENSO. By consolidating these operations within DENSO, which has a high level of expertise in the field of electronic components, a speedy and competitive development and production structure will be established. In doing so, the aim is to also maximize resource utilization, such as by shifting resources created by eliminating duplicate operations within the Toyota Group to new domains that will increase the value of future mobility, thus strengthening the competitiveness
of the Toyota Group overall. In it ial d i scussi ons fo cused o n consolidation of production operations by the end of 2019, and development functions from 2022, but in order to ensure a smooth transfer and to create the new structure faster, both companies agreed to consolidate both development and production in April 2020. Main points of the contract 1. Consolidation of produ cti on operations for electronic components On April 1, 2020, production of electronic components at Toyota’s Hirose Plant will be consolidated within DEN SO. T he land , pr odu ct io n infrastructure (including buildings, equipment, and software), and other items at Hirose Plant will be transferred to DENSO. 2. Consolidation of development functions for electronic components On April 1, 2020, the development functions for electronic components will be consolidated within DENSO. Relevant drawings, development equipment, and other items will be transferred to DENSO. To survive in this era of profound transformation, Toyota and DENSO are accelerating their efforts to enhance the competitiveness of the overall Toyota Group by further strengthening coordination in the Group.

BYD introduces 27-meter long K12A, the ‘world’s longest pure electric bus’ BYD has introduced the K12A, a 27meter (88.5 feet) long bi-articulated bus that it’s calling “the world’s longest pure electric bus.” The company introduced the K12A at its headquarters in Shenzhen, China. BYD’s K12A has a passenger capacity of 250 people and can reach a maximum speed of 70 km/h (about 44 mph). It has a range of 186 miles on a single full charge. BYD claims the K12A is also the world’s first electric bus with a 4WD system that can “switch between 2WD and 4WD smoothly to meet the demands of different terrains, while also lowering th e veh icle ’s overall e ne rgy consumption.”
Electric Bus Revolution
BYD’s K12A looks to set a milestone for electric bus length when it hits Colombian roadways, but electric buses are already making inroads across the world. In 2017, 12 major cities pledged to buy only all-electric buses by 2025, including Los Angeles, which ordered 60 all-electric BYD buses of its own in the same year. We’re seeing smaller cities introduce more electric buses all the time. But China is the undisputed king of electric buses — it’s estimated that 99 percent of all electric buses in the world are in China. The country’s electric buses are even making an impact on overall worldwide oil demand, moreso than electric vehicles at this point . The city where BYD debuted the K12A, Shenzhen, electrified its entire fleet of 16,000 city buses by the end of 2017.

Missing element between the Automotive Industry with Academia The co ll abo rat i o n between industry and the academic world has always been an important but complex topic. Due to rapid evolution of the manufacturing industry and vast transformation throughout academic realm, the subject is now even hotter than it has ever before.The automotive industry is considered to be the backbone of any manufacturing economy, providing millions of direct and indirect jobs.Automotive industry in Pakistan is the one of the fastest growing industries of the country, accounting for 4 percent of Pakistan’s GDP and employing a workforce of over 2,000,000 people. Though Pakistan’s Auto sector is progressing, it still faces many challenges. The crisis of efficient labor is a major weakness for the automobile industries in Pakistan. New auto players are coming to Pakistan and many of them have started their operations in commercial and passenger segments and as a result, dealership network is also growing rapidly. The Pakistan automotive customers today are well tuned to global markets and products, and expect the same level of quality in products and services. Hence,retaining customer’s loyalty is a key concern for car manufacturers in Pakistan.In this scenario, providing effective after sales service for vehicles has growing importance for service centers in Pakistan. If we talkabout dealers’ network in auto industry, there is an acute shortage of qualified staff &technicians from quite a few years.The shortfall of automotive technicians(General and Body/Paint Category)are not new, but as vehicles have grown more computerized and vocational programs have disappeared from institutes, the situation has become more urgent.

In contrast, the Body & Paint pie chart displays very alarming numbers. situation. 45% of the population is below middle and they can’t even speak their local language properly. 30% population are middle, 20% are matric and only 5% of the

Current Situation: Let’s Review the Situation of the Industry. Education Composition of any workshop throughout the General Services
Body & Plant
Now we look at the Jobs mix and profitability of General services and Body/Paint Shop at workshops. JOBS MIX - Profit Normally, 80% jobs are being done on general services whereas 15% jobs are carried out in Body & Paints services in workshops. If we look at the profitability of a workshop, 75% of work shop profit is comin g from Bo dy & Paint Department where as 25% profit comes from General Services. Based on the above situation, it is estimated that skilled labor is both in General and Body/Paint category need more effort to cope up with the future challenges. Current Challenges • No induction of fresh graduates having minimum matric education. • Current intake of graduates into industry doesn’t have basic skills and knowledge of related field. • No creative leading mindset, which can lead to future leadership. • No BIQ(Best in Quality) mindset leading to poor quality products. • Prolonged time consumption when providing basic training to graduates when they are being inducted by dealerships. A Way forward: • Provide platform to technical institutes by automotive industry/Govt and add basic technical courses during their education. • More focus on skill enhancement rather than standard class room education. • Train the Trainer concept by Industries in collaborationwith TechnicalInstitutes and set standards. • Institute and Government to provide on the job training during education period so the people can have awareness about industry exposure and understanding the practical scope. In order to meet the future growth in the Auto sector, it is important to take rapid action in the field of technical education to develop the skill and knowledge. Also, to meet the customer and market demand. Written by Moazzam Abu Bakar Dealer Development Specialist |The

Japan’s big four announce consortium for electric motorcycle battery tech
Toyota shares its hybrid vehicle secrets with rival automakers Toyota Motor Corp. announced on April 3 it will give rivals royalty-free access to about 23,740 of its vehicle electrification p ate nts cul ti vat ed t hrou gh i ts developments of hybrid vehicles (HVs) to accelerate the “green car” market. The auto giant also hopes the effort will cut costs and boost development of electric vehicles (EVs) that share fundamental parts in common with HVs. “To curve carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions globally, the eco-friendly car needs to be spread further and expanded,” said Shigeki Terashi, executive vice president in charge of engineering at Toyota, during a news conference in Nagoya. Revealing that the automaker had received many requests to open its patents, Terashi explained why Toyota decided to share its secrets, saying, “We considered that the next decade or so is a significant period to accelerate the spread of electrically powered cars.” About 7,550 patents related to system control and about 2,590 patents related to motors are among those available for f ree through the end of 2030. Toyota leads the industry in hybrid vehicles that run on two power sources: a gasoline engine and an electric motor system. The firm has sold a total of 13 million HV units, including the Prius gas-electric hybrid that went on sale in 1990s. The HV's mainstay technologies for electrifying vehicles can be utilized in electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). The more automakers use patents based on Toyota’s technologies, the more Toyota can drive down manufacturing costs. Electric vehicles are considered the most promising green cars for the next generation. However, it has been pointed out that Toyota, late to enter the market, lags behind other auto companies. Toyota appears to have decided to share its patents for free to recoup lost ground in the EV market. Terashi said
A laconic statement co-signed by Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha could well be one of the most important news items of the year for the motorcycling world. The four biggest Japanese manufacturers have agreed to work together towards standardizing replaceable battery tech for electric motorcycles. Personal mobility is on a course to abandon fossil fuel, set to make a dramatic turn towards electric drive. Several countries around the world, including some of the biggest European nations, have either announced or are investigating plans to ban the sales of new vehicles powered by internal combustion engines at some point in the next decade. The problem with electric bikes though is that current range per charge can be disappointing, even if you go for the most expensive battery options, which would inevitably translate to costs considerably higher than the average gas o lin e-b ur nin g eq uiva le n t. Charging networks can also pose problems, with some countries offering ex t en si v e co v er ag e wh i l e t he inf rast ructure in others seems insufficient to cater for electric personal vehicles. The first company to announce an ambitious replaceable battery strategy was Taiwan's Gogoro in 2015, followed by T aiwan's KYMC O with the Ionexelectric scooter line and battery tech. The lattermost, enjoying the advantage of being a well known brand name and having a wide global sales network in place, seemed better equipped to lead a replaceable battery future and, sure enough, it issued an open invitation for all manufacturers to join in and design Ionex-compatible batteries. KYMCO started rolling out Ionex-powered
scooters in 2018, yet no other manufacturer has joined its cause. Up until now, the big Japanese manufacturers have displayed endless electric prototypes, but as far as production machines are concerned all we have is a Honda PCX hybrid scooter and some electric-assisted mountain bikes from Yamaha. Honda has also announced a PCX Electric version (pictured below) that will become available in late 2019, but it's only for Asian markets and will only be available for lease sales to corporations and rental businesses. Even the electric EV Cub, that was so well received by the public, still hasn't been tied to specific production dates. But, just as we were thinking that the big factories are turning a blind eye on electric motorcycles, here comes this latest announcement. The main point of the statement is that the four biggest Japanese factories are setting up a common technical base for replaceable batteries and charging stations. The target is rather obvious; it's a race to set global standards and obviously four of the world's biggest motorcycle manufacturers working together makes for a force to be reckoned with. According to Japanese press reports, the deal will initially focus on small commuter electric models, equivalent to engine capacities up to 125 cc. The same reports note that this is also the first ever attempt to set up a workgroup outside the confines of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association. This would also constitute the first time that the Japanese manufacturers displayed clear intent to work on massproduced electric two-wheelers, and this announcement could well prove to be a game-changer.

Toyota’s turnaround strategy could be a key for solving problems with the next-generation eco-car since manufacturing batteries for electric vehicles is costly, and they have a relatively short travel range. “Making efficient use of hybrid vehicles is a way to solve a real-world problem,” said Terashi. “The HV technology can mi n i mi z e C O 2 e m i s s i o n s . ” A l l automakers must meet average fuel economy standards for the vehicles they
sell. By offering them its patents, Toyota can also absorb demand from automakers that got a late start in the hybrid vehicle industry. The carmaker also said it will start selling its vehicle electrification technology for hybrids and provide technical assistance for automakers that purchase it. Toyota said it will extend the limit for its royalty-free access to its FCV patents from the end of 2020 to the end of 2030.

International Automotive Industry - Update
Monthly AutoMark
Renault again proposed merging with Nissan, this time under post-Carlos Ghosn management Toyota to tie up with major Chinese automaker on fuel cell vehicles Toyota Motor Corp. said Monday it will supply its fuel cell vehicle technology to major Chinese automaker Beijing Automotive Group Co. as it seeks to expand business in the world’s largest auto market by volume. In the first such tie-up between Toyota and a Chinese automaker for hydrogenpowered vehicles, the commercial car division of Beijing Automotive Group will manufacture buses with Toyota’s fuel cell system. The production of the buses may increase toward the Winter Olympics to be held in the Chinese capital in 2022. Fuel cell technology, which converts hydrogen and oxygen into electricity, is attracting attention in China along with electric vehicles as the country seeks to address air pollution. Toyota announced earlier this month that it is allowing royalty-free access to nearly 24,000 patents for electrified vehicles, such as gasoline-electric hybrids, seeking to become a “supplier” of low-emission technology as the industry adopts stricter emissions regulations. The patents include those for the fuel cell vehicles.

Renault SA has again proposed a merger with Nissan Motor Co., according to source close to the matter, a move that could ignite a feud within the alliance just as its new management is beginning to operate after the removal of Carlos Ghosn. Nissan rejected the proposal made in mid-April, the source said late w ee kRe n aul t , Ni s san ’s l arg es t shareholder, is seeking to further solidify its partnership with the Japanese company, which contributes about half of the French automaker’s net profit. But some Nissan executives view the partnership balance as unfair, according to sources familiar with the matter. Renault holds a 43.4 percent stake in Nissan, which has a 15 percent stake in the French firm without voting rights. Nissan sold 5.65 million vehicles worldwide last year, 1.5 times more than Renault. The latest proposal comes as the two automakers and Mitsubishi Motors Corp., the third partner in the alliance, launched a new management body in March to steer the world’s secondlargest auto group by volume. Renault
continues to lead the partnership after Ghosn stepped down, with its chairman, Jean-Dominique Senard, appointed as head of the new body. While Nissan and Renault have stressed they will work in a “consultative” manner to strengthen the alliance under the new management team, talk of a possible merger or a review of the capital structure between the two automakers remains a source of tension. In a video message earlier this month, Ghosn, who led Nissan for nearly two decades and was CEO and chairman of Renault, said a “few executives” at Nissan felt threatened about the autonomy of the company due to a possible merger with Renault. Ghosn was initially arrested in November for alleged financial misconduct at Nissan. He was indicted by Tokyo prosecutors for the fourth time on last month over alleged misuse of Nissan funds for private purposes. The French government — Renault’s biggest shareholder — made a similar offer in January after the alliance was rocked by the arrest of Ghosn in November, a source said earlier.
