    Japanese vehicle production is declining dramatically

Dongfeng Honda dealers from the news, CR-V production in May 4000 only about which the average monthly production last year less than half.

    Liu Hong, deputy general manager of Dongfeng Honda, a recent interview in Chengdu Chinese Commercial News reporters Cai Fang and Shi Biaoshi, such effects are expected to continue at least into July. He is very optimistic that because the Japanese earthquake, automobile stimulus withdrawal, rising oil prices and some city vehicles, and other factors limit the impact of China's automobile market growth this year will be far lower than previously expected 10 to 15%, " Perhaps only 5%. "Dongfeng Honda to present his case, for example," sales of less than expected, the main market demand is not restricted, but because of production capacity. "

    Europe and America, were caught autonomous cars

    Affected not only Japanese car prices, because Japan is an important supplier of auto parts, Volkswagen, Ford and other U.S. and European companies are also affected. Ford has issued a message: the shortage of spare parts from Japan because the company is likely to slow or suspend its production activities in the Asia Pacific region. According to the Chengdu Commercial Daily report, Volkswagen, General Motors, the South East Mitsubishi, Changfeng Automobile Guangzhou, Guangzhou Toyota, Shanghai GM, Dongfeng Nissan has a variety of models imported from Japan, the use of core components, which will directly by the shortage of Japanese parts suppliers.

    Own brand, can not escape, while most brands announced a 100% independent intellectual property rights, but in the context of global sourcing, a number of companies are also key components from Japan, such as engine control computers and automatic gearbox. In particular, some techniques used Japanese cars own brand, by the impact. Although not yet under their own brand business-to-the attitude of the Japanese earthquake, but that does not mean to escape the Japanese earthquake affected. For example, many domestic enterprises have launched their own brand of independent engine, but because of lack of key parts of technology, such as engine management systems, turbochargers, hydraulic tappets, variable valve timing, variable valve lift, and other advanced components Most still rely on imports or foreign giants in the domestic supply of production plants, many of them imported from the Japanese companies.
