March 11 earthquake occurred in Japan makes the emerging recovery of the Japanese economy suffered heavy losses, Japanese car prices are inevitable. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi and other car manufacturers were forced to stop production plants, including vehicle and parts plants. Earthquake impact on the Japanese automotive industry in the end be? Whether the impact of the global car very far? For the automobile, the Japanese earthquake will bring a bit of the development of its power? With many questions, an interview with Automotive Network China's auto editor of the newspaper reviews Jiang East radium.

    Automotive Network: seismic impact of the Japanese automotive industry? Whether the Japanese automotive industry will have to destroy the blow?

    Lei Jiang East: Japan's major auto companies have factories in the earthquake damaged by different degrees, for the supply of spare parts in Japan and overseas, had no small impact. Although the week after the earthquake, the part of the auto companies have announced the resumption of production, but that does not mean that effects have disappeared. We need to note that some parts of Japan since the earthquake and discontinued businesses, and enterprises not only these parts supplier for Japanese auto companies, but also European and American automotive supplier companies, from this perspective, this earthquake will have an impact in a wider context. Of course, for now, because of inventory and other factors, the impact will not soon show up. But if you can not resume production as soon as possible, it will have a significant impact the global auto industry, we need to pay close attention to developments.

    Automotive Network: China's auto market in the earthquake in Japan would be affected?

    Jiang Dong Lei: First, in Japan, domestic production, imports into the domestic vehicle will be significantly affected, this effect has already begun to appear in the distribution terminal. In addition, a point mentioned earlier, due to inadequate supply of key components of the domestic auto companies of joint venture will soon appear, part of the European Department, the U.S. Department vehicles would also be implicated.

    Automotive Network: industry, there is a saying that the earthquake will lead to many Japanese car firms to the vehicle, parts and components factories to China, so many of the core technology will come along to, which is the development of China's auto industry has some role in promoting this talk is reasonable?

    Jiang Dong Lei: I personally believe this view is very idealistic, but unrealistic. China began decades ago with multinational companies in an attempt to market for technology, but so far results are not ideal. Decades of effort have not seen the results, is this a small earthquake can bring a qualitative leap in it? Moreover, the core technology, multinational companies the possibility to get the Chinese to produce very low.

    Automotive Network: As the world's automotive landscape is extremely important piece of the earthquake so many Japanese car firms have been hit to varying degrees, this will not affect the pattern of world car?

    Jiang Dong Lei: As many Japanese auto production throughout the world, and formed a good system, so the earthquake will only make the output of many Japanese car prices being affected, but will not produce significant changes in pattern of world automobile. I predict that this year the world crown from Toyota's head may be transferred to the general body, but it is not only to make judgments based on the earthquake, I think that many factors could cause this result.

    Automotive Network: the impact of the earthquake is huge for Toyota?

    Lei Jiang East: Japan in the number of car prices most affected by the earthquake was undoubtedly the Toyota. Last year, when Toyota's recalls in the United States because, to a certain degree of loss suffered, the years and then suffered a rare earthquake can be described as being the first man-made disaster after the event. However, there is an old saying in China Toyota who used very appropriate at this time - a blessing in disguise a blessing in disguise. Some time ago, Toyota announced the Vision 2015, which highlighted emerging markets should pay attention to and increase the localization rate of the local. The earthquake has left Toyota in Japan have been hit, which may stimulate the Toyota allowed to accelerate the progress of development in emerging markets. Moreover, the earthquake triggered the nuclear crisis, in fact, to some extent, delayed the development of pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles to extend the transition period, which is the hybrid leader Toyota is also a good thing.
