AVDtrade’s Post

Nowadays, many automotive importers in Thailand have a very bad reputation in service, with a common expression “Waiting on parts”, they didn’t aware that this expression could make some manufacturers could not continue their automotive business here, when their customers switched to their competitors. It’s true that nobody can hold all 100% of the components in his inventory, but the importers need to overcome the limitation in import in the parts, especially from the Chinese manufactures. From experiences with the Chinese manufacturers, it’s not straightforward to import the parts without any precautionary measure. But still there are some ways to reduce the lead time from Chinese manufacturers’s factories to Thailand. This is a time bomb waiting for the time, as I could see from many pages in many platforms , there are many customers waiting on parts for more than six months, which is unacceptable, and now the reputation of the brands are spreading very fast. Though the sailing from China’s port to Thailand port is estimated to be 9-10 days. It should have arrived within a month not in six or more months. Wait and see who will be the next one who cannot cross this simple logistics management.

Automotive Exports Are On Edge! Cengiz Eroldu, Chairman of the Automotive Manufacturers Association (OSD), announced that automotive production dropped by 7% in the January-September 2024 period, with the share of domestic production falling below 30%, while exports remained stable. He highlighted the threats posed by the economic slowdown in Europe and competition from China, with a 44% decline in truck exports. Eroldu emphasized the need for measures to protect local production and noted that high taxes (ÖTV) are making it difficult for the middle class to purchase cars, while luxury vehicle sales are rising. He also pointed out that some suppliers are relocating production abroad due to Turkey’s declining competitiveness. https://lnkd.in/dVh_Mbkp #atfforwarding #atfweeklyvoyage #news #automotive#export #turkey #china #europe

China's car exports surged to a record high in April, data showed on Friday, as domestic sales slipped 5.8% from a year earlier amid intensifying price competition and consumers' caution about spending on big items during a shaky economic recovery. Car exports jumped 38% year-on-year to 417,000 units in April, continuing strong momentum from the previous month which posted a 39% growth in exports, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) said. https://lnkd.in/gfkV5x48
