The collapse of the global financial order triggered by the aggregation of toxic assets by banks and financial intermediaries has brought forth a challenging situation for the industry. The lack of availability of consumer finance has forced willing buyers to defer their purchase plans as the financers are redefining their risk profiles. Coupled with the crisis is another challenge that is dynamically reshaping the prospects of vehicle manufacturers - that of changing consumer preferences. Previously announced product investments and acquisitions are being stalled. One such case is Daimler’s US$2bn acquisition of Russian truck manufacturer OAO KamAZ. Tata Motors is also having problems in arranging lines of credit to close the Land Rover-Jaguar buyout deal with Ford. Several manufacturers are stalling production, laying off temporary workforce or closing plants to rid themselves of piling inventory. Volvo’s order bookings in the third quarter in fiscal 2008 dropped 99.63% year-on-year. The authors of just-auto’s company profiles have compiled a round-up of the prospects of the top 24 OE vehicle manufacturers.

The second challenge faced by suppliers is re-orienting products to match changing consumer preferences. Demand for trucks and utility vehicles is expected to drop by 10-15% in North America alone in fiscal 2008. Realising this trend, incumbents Ford and General Motors are working on introducing smaller cars in North America. Supplying to these programmes would call for fresh investments to reorient production lines as the production lines were oriented towards supplying to truck and utility vehicle programmes for two decades. At the same time Japanese and Korean OEMs operating in North America are also examining smaller vehicles in their global portfolio to introduce them in North America.

Toyota’s revision of its earnings outlook, a first in several years is a grim indicator of the health of the global automotive industry.
The current economic crisis has set forth two distinct challenges for automotive suppliers globally. First is containing cost and scaling down fixed expenses. Understandably, suppliers with a rationalised manufacturing footprint are better poised to face the demand slowdown. As the consumer credit availability returns to markets, OEMs will source from lower cost production bases. Interestingly, several competitiveness indicators are showing a fall in cost competitiveness of China-based facilities. At the same time, other ASEAN manufacturing bases such as India and Thailand are emerging as sources for higher quality engineered components.
