現在是時候點評一下上半年車市的贏家和輸家了。隨著6月過去,今年上半年車型、動力技術、品牌銷量、國際車市、公眾認知等指標的贏家和輸家都已經一目了然。
國際市場:輸家 歐洲 ????2007年,歐洲共賣出了近1,600萬輛乘用車,創造了歷史紀錄。不過,自那以后歐洲車市逐年轉冷。今年五月,歐洲車市銷量同比下降了近7%,當月銷量創下了近20年來年的最低值。有人預計,歐洲車市將于今年觸底,但也有很多人并不這么樂觀。歐元區的失業率已經達到歷史性的12.2%,幾乎所有人買新車都是為了替換舊車,很少有新需求的跡象。 |
International markets: Loser Europe ????The European auto market peaked in 2007 at nearly 16 million new passenger vehicles, and it has been in retreat ever since. Through May, sales were down nearly 7%, while results for the month itself were their worst in 20 years. Some expect the plunge to bottom out this year, but others aren't so optimistic. The unemployment rate for the Eurozone has reached a record 12.2%, and most of the new car business is simply going to replace older, worn out vehicles with little evidence of fresh demand. |
