Fiat Group. Достижения/неудачи

[alfaman]

Всетаки пресса дело интересное. Fiat к французам за деньгами поехали, PSA за микрики расплатиться не может. Вот и решали чем французы будут долги отдавать. А журналисты нечего не знают и сами додумывают.

В 2009 мы увидим только 500 Кабрио и 149.

Быстрый Митька накрылся медным тазом?

Имеется ввиду в линейке новых моделей.

Кстати, в прошлом месяце Митька с 11 поднялся на 7 место. Пока что у себя в
Италии конечно. Но тоже неплохо.

Новые автомобили БМВ подрожают примерно на 20%, думаю к другим европейским маркам это тоже относится. Это вступило в силу из за повышения евро и новых таможенных пошлин.

Fiat-PSA could join to be world's No. 4 carmaker

А, ну вот 4-м SUV в семействе Mitsubishi Outlander XL, Citroen C-Crosser, Peugeot 4007 станет Alfa Romeo.

Ребята собираются выпустить большой седан - копию 4porte, верно? Преемника 166, так?
Ну пусть по такому же принципу выпустят компактный кроссовер на базе старшего брата.

Fiat puts JV proposals to government for approval!

Fiat has reportedly put forward its plans for two joint venture agreements to the Chinese central government for approval. The plans appear to show that Fiat plans to work with both Chery, and Guangzhou Auto Group.

Chery and Fiat previously came to an agreement to produce the Alfa Romeo in China, but until now, no news of its Chinese domestic production came to light. Fiat also signed up with Guangzhou Auto to provide platforms and support for a range of new cars. Previously Fiat was signed up with Nanijng Automotive, but a rash of issues such as low sales, bland vehicles, and Nanjing being rather preoccupied with their new MG venture, prematurely ended their Nanjing JV.

The breakup of the Fiat-Nanjing JV left Fiat without access to any factories to produce any cars domestically in the PRC, and have thus been importing a varying range of small cars into China, however, sales of these imported models have been far from excellent.

Fiat is reportedly planning to work with Chang’an Suzuki to produce the Fiat Sedici in the PRC. The Sedici is essentially a remodeled Suzuki SX4 that both Fiat and Suzuki worked on, the two models are sold side by side in certain foreign markets, but it will be the first time Suzuki and Fiat have worked together in the PRC.

На условии, что VW выкупит акции AR наконец. Свет в конце тоннеля забрезжил. Впрочем, это тоже слухи.

Statement from the Chief Executive of Fiat, Sergio Marchionne

The reorganisation announced today represents an important step for Fiat Group Automobiles which will equip it to face future market challenges in the most efficient and immediate manner.

The changes we are experiencing in the automotive sector require that we adapt our organisational structure rapidly.

Mr. Cravero’s appointment as head of Alfa Romeo forms part of a specific Group strategy of developing personnel with the highest potential and involving them in the decision-making process. Mr. Cravero is a professional with considerable experience in both the engineering and commercial areas. I am convinced that he is the best possible choice for Alfa Romeo.

In parallel with Mr. Cravero’s appointment, we are establishing four new functions, which will have transversal responsibilities within the company while maintaining separate responsibility for each individual brand in order to protect and develop the specific identity and recognition of each brand in the market.

This new structure will enable us to achieve greater synergies and improved integration of those activities which are common to the various brands.

The reorganisation will also provide Fiat Group Automobiles with a much leaner and more flexible structure, increasing its ability to take advantage of new business opportunities and further reducing response times.
