The German is said to have an intimate relationship to the car; you keep also the inventor of the automobile. Just all of this is of little use when, as currently, the cards are mixed, says Henrik Böhme.
There are a lot of things they say about the Germans. For example: The automobile is the Germans ‘ favorite child. But now the question arises: is that so? (Assuming there has ever voted.) What can you say: in Spite of all the trickery and fraud of the German manufacturer, the German does not do without a car. Neither on the Buy nor on the Drive. So, although, more recently, all of the flight of shame to speak, but then still go on holiday. So, there is little growth to be diligently bought more mobile sub-sets (but the seers speak of a stable market). Fun Fact: The German buy again more frequently – caution: diesel cars.
For all, the get now Gasping: electric cars are now in this country and more Coming in. Admission winner in the first half of the year are pure electric cars with an increase of 80 per cent, in the case of hybrids plus at least 70 percent. In the quantities expected, of course, all of this still looks modest, the market share of pure electrical vehicles is still modest 1.7 percent. For comparison, A third of all registered cars will be powered by a compression-ignition engine, i.e. Diesel,. But the 48,000-approved E-cars and Plug-in hybrids in Germany has been overtaken in the last half of the year, Norway (44.000) and the Scandinavians are considered as the E-car Benchmark.

Bad news of Daimler and BMW
Nevertheless, it would be presumptuous, but to write simply wrong: The German car industry is in good health. The opposite is true. The past days have been full of bad news. Daimler, for example, that the profit forecast correct with the star, and Within two weeks, the new group had to head down twice. Wasn’t so doll, what the old boss, Dieter Zetsche, has left to his successor. Also, Daimler (O-Ton Zetsche 2015: “we will not be deceived”), has long had its own diesel scandal, must place a high three-digit million amount to the side.
The Bavarian competitor to the BMW CEO Harald Krüger came before, so to speak, under the wheels, and a cleared out, the owner family was the nice Mr Kruger to nice. In any case, the Performance in the direction of E-mobility and more – agreed to mention the share price to. At BMW, you’re crying, apparently, still Herbert Diess, who would like BMW to become chief, but has not been, and moved to Wolfsburg VW. There, he mixes for two years the Store with a very risky strategy pivot direction of the E-car.
How will Donald Trump choose?
But also in the case of Volkswagen, the trees grow not up into the sky, to the 30 billion euros of Diesel-criminal payments, the expense to the company, that, Yes, at the same time at least as expensive technological renovation need to brace for. At the end of the money must be earned, and that is only on cars sold. But just the world is weakening through all sorts of hardships, such as trade conflicts, etc. economic recovery, and the note of the car maker once: On key markets such as the USA and China, the manufacturers had to accept a significant reduction in Sales. The whole of the year, Auto analysts expect the Bank, rather red than black.
To make matters worse, of course, is not at all clear where the chief Twitterer of the White house will move, which relates to punitive duties on European car manufacturer. There’s some kind of reigns at the Moment as to rest on the Front, but that could well be the calm before the big storm.
Since so a lot of things, and just for the car manufacturers – as Germany’s flagship industry is a bride – to-be together in the coming months, maybe years, more of a gravel road as a race track. The political support in this country seems to be, at least, even if times have changed since also. This is because, unlike earlier, as the German Chancellor had the first name “car” to come out of the Chancellery, now – finally, one would like to say – a clear message: Do something, we have saved you long enough ass!
