Were heard from last March to acquire Volvo since the stock has moved from a lucky dollar to close at 4.1 HK yesterday, turned 4 Fan.

Union release

“Today is a milestone in the history of Geely is also the history of Volvo’s milestone.” This is Mr. Li’s opening remarks. Volvo Group CEO Stifen and Lewis Booth, Ford Motor CFO (Lewis Booth) points out in the left and right side of Mr. Li.

Before the start of a news conference, Mr. Li and Booth are required before the group photo in a Volvo S60, This just unveiled at the Geneva auto show new car, Volvo is likely to be as lucky after the merger, the first in the country running a model.

Press conference, the Swedish Volvo Car Corporation, said trade unions to support the planned acquisition of Geely, Geely and Ford for the purchase agreement signed release.

To cater for the interests of trade unions, Mr. Li said that Volvo will long continue to reside in Belgium and Sweden. However, he quickly corrected himself and stressed the need to “always remain so.”

Obviously, Geely management attitude towards the Volvo factory in Europe, let the Volvo side reassured. “We got all the information we want.” Volvo is one trade union organization representing the interests of the company in charge layers, “leader” trade union leader Glen Magnuson told reporters, “We support the acquisition. ”

Delivery of the third quarter

Currently, the acquisition of all funding in place, while Geely is also ready for future business development of Volvo Cars of working capital loans.

In addition to stock acquisitions, the agreement also involved a Volvo car, Ford, Geely, and intellectual property rights between the three parties, parts supply and R & D to reach the important provisions. These agreements will ensure the independence of Volvo car operations, to continue the existing business plan and future sustainable development.

As for the establishment of factories in the Chinese market plan, and Mr. Li said that “the establishment of several factories in China, when the building has not been set, however, must be entering the Chinese market, the development of the Volvo is very important.”

While the entire conference, and Mr. Li have appeared a bit nervous. After entering the interactive session, Mr. Li described a number of interesting ideas. He spoke of the importance of the Chinese market and to make a tiger than Volvo, must return to nature.

“Must be restored predation ability, not only for viewing in a cage. The company has 80 years of history, its technology, brand, Zhiliang and trained a team must release the energy out.” Says Li Shufu.

As for the specific delivery time delayed by the second quarter, three quarters, Mr. Li said that apart from the Chinese government approval, it will also involve more than the national government for approval. In fact, last December, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said it will support the auspicious of the acquisition of Volvo.

Mr. Li’s new challenge has begun

Concern and attention in the outside world, China Zhejiang Geely Automobile Company acquired the ultimate success of luxury car brand Volvo has become a major international automotive industry. Li Shufu, Geely head of population in “rural guy,” married “international star”, writing the history of the development of a national car legend.

This is a victory for Mr. Li is also a victory for the lucky team. Leaving aside the many around the Geely controversial acquisition of Volvo, just look at M & A itself, Li and his auspicious reason to be proud of.

Whether the acquisition of Sichuan Tengzhong Hummer deal fails, or the acquisition of Volvo’s lucky win in Germany, the background is the degree of deepening economic globalization. Reflected in the auto sector, global mergers and acquisitions and the pace of industry consolidation is accelerating. With overseas acquisitions, is also China’s auto enterprises to accelerate the development of one of the important path.

Prior to the acquisition of Volvo, Geely already started from a low-end brand in the high-end development to strategic transformation. This transformation, in the background, “humble” the lucky case, it is not easy. With Volvo’s European old aristocratic image and technical level, how much change can be lucky or the existing pattern of China’s auto industry.

From the perspective of the individual entrepreneur, while M & A is a high-risk path to achieve growth, but once the cross-border mergers and acquisitions with the explosive growth of the enterprise, then the value of the individual entrepreneurs, to upgrade, also has a geometric pace. From a hero of the bush to the world-class entrepreneurs, perhaps deep in the heart of the soaring ambitions of Mr. Li’s.

In any case, for a local car brand, this is a great acquisition. Geely and Volvo’s “Cross of Love” can bear fruit, it would be not only the achievements of China’s automobile industry, the achievements of the international automobile industry.

However, the fragrance of champagne while intoxicated people, but one can not blindly drunk. For the unlucky, the case for Mr. Li, to close at its Volvo, the new career path is the starting point is the beginning of new and difficult challenges. How to face challenges, overcome difficulties related to this “Love Cross” in the future fate.

Geely talk aside first. In recent years, China’s financial, industrial enterprises “sea” case there are many – which is of course the ever-growing Chinese economy a major performance. With the country’s overall economic strength is gradually increased, some companies grow rapidly. But frankly, Chinese corporations combined with excellent success, really small. This situation in fact is not surprising that academic research has long had: on average, the returns from the acquisition are significantly lower than the cost of capital.

Perhaps the “unhappy family is unhappy in its own.” Each “sea” of the enterprise itself is different, different problems, so the frustrations and challenges are not the same. However, one thing is common. Overseas M & A, as an international business operations, the situation faced by domestic investment than the more complex and also more traps. Compared to domestic operations, including legal risk, currency risk, collection risk, management risk of moral hazard, have all a challenge.

Some companies, in domestic development has been relatively smooth, so the “sea” battle full of confidence. Pride is certainly commendable, but dreams are often friable. Since many companies do not have the ability to manage outside, or on the cultural differences and understanding the lack of in-depth analysis, or understanding of the local labor relations is not enough, originally thought to be alone is to conquer the capital acquisition side of the romantic idea be real idiot.

A classic case of cross-border M & A failure is a TCL Thomson’s expedition. Li Dongsheng said that TCL proprietor: Globalization must go this route, do not go today, go tomorrow. Such words reflect the belief in and pursuit of Li Dongsheng, but he later said “of course not the pace too fast, too fast will be wrestling.” Because of the loss TCL Thomson business digest considered far from adequate, but also because of investment in the country’s labor relations are poorly understood, underestimated the strength of the local union, ultimately failed.

In the automotive industry, also has a well-known failures that SAIC bought Ssangyong. After several years of trials, the case eventually ended regret. It was concluded that the reason for different corporate culture of both sides, and in the face of serious problems, lack of SAIC’s experience in resolving the crisis brought about by the subsequent financial crisis, this acquisition also ended in failure.

Perhaps Li and his team are determined before the acquisition of Volvo, it has been on the journey of Chinese companies overseas M & A clear understanding of all the hard chest. Even so, Geely’s acquisition of Volvo, still can not avoid the reality and future of critical questioning. When the two sides finally signed an option agreement to discuss the purchase price or have little significance in itself, but Geely “snake swallowing” Volvo can digest well, or a question mark.

Currently, Volvo union shift in attitude, expressed support for the acquisition of China Geely, which is an important sign Geely to remove obstacles. However, the Nordic tradition of strong trade unions, will be the test of time in the future management of the auspicious and adaptability. Meanwhile, the corporate culture integration, operations management capabilities overseas, are waiting to sort out one by one unlucky team, and upgrade. Opportunities and challenges and to challenge even greater than the opportunity, this is Mr. Li must face reality.

“Volvo will be in production right here?” On March 29 morning, the Changan Ford Mazda (hereinafter referred to as Changan Ford) plant in Chongqing Zhang Xiang (a pseudonym), as the workers participated in the Ford Focus, under 50 million vehicles line of the ceremony, he asked, feeling a bit complicated, “China Business” reporter, “Early in the morning, I heard on the radio the sale of Volvo to The bad news, Geely will be willing to let us continue to produce it?”

March 28, Geely Group, a formal contract with Ford, with 18 billion dollars in price from Ford bought Volvo in the hands 100% of the shares and related assets.

After signing the agreement, Volvo the world’s only foundry manager Chan An Ford pushed to the cusp of a series of variables need to deal with Ford and Changan together. “Geely Volvo acquired the key to success is how quickly the product to market and expand market share, therefore, does not rule out the OEM Changan Ford Geely scrap possible.” By the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Industrial & Economic director Zhao industrial system Britain on the “China Business” the reporter said.

However, the current situation, between Changan and Ford seems to have found a way to solve the problem, and they even plan a larger “conspiracy.”

Open a Running

“Uneasy”, the Chang’an wait is finally over that already can not change the results – March 28, Chairman Li Shufu, Geely became the winner of the Volvo takeover battle.

Although mentally prepared, but still need to respond to the results of Chang’an spend a lot of thought.

Back in early 2009, Volvo acquired the face of Geely, exert its utmost situation, give up the bid for Volvo Changan Automotive Group to open a new path. April 2009, Changan Automobile Group, parent company of soldiers loading the Group General Manager Xu Bin personally meet with Volvo executives, actively promoting a new generation of strategic models Volvo S60 settled in Chang’an Ford. Xu Bin see this project is very important, Chang’an Automobile has also invested elite team in consultation with the Volvo. In the same year in September, Ford CEO Alan Mulally and Changan Automobile further high-level consultations, received after Ford’s support, S60 project in October 2009 signed a secret agreement. It demonstrates, S60 will be on Changan Ford production for a period of 10 years, this way, with Changan Ford is producing the S40 and S60, Volvo’s flagship model S series sedan resource attribute all of Changan Ford.

Geely in the face of fame for its own benefit as soon as possible, it has almost become the face of this purchase storm Chang thrust, but through this, “Running”, the Chang’an Automobile is still somewhat realistic. After all, the industry in the field of breach of contract case after another, so, in the Ford Geely signed an agreement to acquire Volvo, the Changan Ford in the first time to confirm the acquisition of the situation and had taken the initiative to inform the outside world -

“Our understanding of the situation is Changan Ford existing project will be respected and maintained continuity!” March 29 morning, Ford executives on the “China Business” reporter, said: “Geely has never been high so far with us contact, and talk about issues related to foundry, which is in line with international acquisitions practice, before the signing of the acquisition agreement, will be the highest level of contact, control to a small extent, but since Ford has been the attitude is to let Chang Ford to continue under the existing OEM agreement. ”

Pay close attention to the cost OEM

According to report, in Geely Volvo and Ford on the issue of negotiations, both sides have spent a tremendous effort on the Volvo existing cooperation projects and business plans have been consulted. From March 28 to see the signing of the agreement, the agreement concerning acquisition of shares in addition to outside content, also Volvo cars, Geely Group and Ford Motor over intellectual property between the three parties, parts supply and R & D reached an important provision. These provisions fully guarantee the independence of Volvo car operations, to continue the existing business plan and future sustainable development.

Ford is clearly smart, Volvo in the removal of the heavy burden, even with the Changan Ford plant to maintain 2009 production levels of 15,000 Volvo models, Ford will still be profitable. “China Business” reporter learned from the internal Chang’an, the Geely before buying Volvo, Ford, Volvo China from where the profits come mainly from two aspects: first, OEM profit, as Volvo is on behalf of the Changan Ford’s production work form, the OEM charges in accordance with the joint venture Changan Ford shares allocated more than, that is, Ford 35%, 15% of Mazda, Changan 50%; then the sales profits, that is, when the vehicles wholesale to dealers profits, as Chang’an in Volvo’s role is OEM, so almost all owned by Ford, sales of all profits. Geely acquisition of Volvo, Ford can no longer enjoy the profits of the sale of Volvo, but the OEM piece of the profit, Ford will not mistake according to take.

According to “China Business” reporter learned from Chang’an, where, although no sale of OEM cost high profits, but still very attractive addition to S60 Changan Ford got production, the foundry costs will increase. In addition, the amount of OEM costs with sales of related models, in accordance with the Changan Ford’s plans, S40 and S80 of the 2010 sales target is 22,000, while for S60 planning capacity is 20,000, so, one can imagine Ford, Volvo car from the future who will be the foundry costs soared. “From an international background, although Ford’s situation better than GM and Chrysler, but in 2009 Ford had just returned to profitability in the financial crisis need to re-rise of the ruins of the need to speed up the Chinese market provides a steady stream of profits. “industry sources said a car.

While Chang, its body already earned from the Volvo OEM costs, as increased sales of models and can bring more profits, Chang’an why not?

Strategic alliance

In fact, in addition to the present to see the “bundling” to bring the good, the Ford and Changan Automobile in fact is a greater opportunity to plan the new bureau.

“China Business” reporter from Changan Group Internal understand formally signed with Geely recently (March 16), Mulally also like “visit relatives” as to China, loaded with soldiers and Changan Automotive Group Holdings high-level secret talks. Volvo sold in the most sensitive period, Mulally this “may arouse suspicion,” the act led to widespread industry speculation. The “China Business” reporter obtained the information through surveys show, Ford and Changan Automotive Group Volvo not only talked about after the sale, Ford foundry agreement on how to conduct problems, and may allow the two sides are planning a shock auto industry global strategic alliances.

“We want to start at a higher level of strategic cooperation, and is prepared to achieve in the international market more substantial breakthrough.” Forthright character of soldiers loading Xu Bin, general manager for the establishment of strategic alliances to Mulally’s Hydrangea. The proposal for Xu Bin, Mulally also responded positively, he said: “Ford has the China market as the most important market for planning and development to accelerate the Group’s strategic cooperation with Changan Ford has been formed within the consensus, clear targets and with a strong team. “It is understood that the two sides will develop, market development and other aspects of the lead in realizing the value of alliances. For example, Ford could use its network in Europe and the United States market, to help develop the market of Chang’an achieve the purpose, and Chang’s own brand models developed to provide technical support; and Chang are ready to use local advantages to Ford for the policy to facilitate more , and the expansion of the Ford brand in China to provide financial support.

In response, the British Civil Shen, president of Changan Ford some meaningful way to the “China Business” told reporters: “Now, Ford is already the world’s first and second in North America Automotive Group, Changan also rushed to the first quarter of this year’s second-largest automotive group in China position, but now Ford’s market share in China is not significant. “He believed that Ford and Changan Automotive Group will certainly consider further strengthen cooperation, join forces to do more things.

“Changan Automotive Group and Ford alliance-building concept, with the current development trend of the world automotive industry.” Chinese Academy of Social Sciences researcher Luo Zhongwei work by the “China Business” told reporters, “In the past, Chinese enterprises and transnational car car enterprise of cooperation, more is to build a manufacturing base, the latter is the advantage of China’s manufacturing advantages; and now, as China’s market position significantly increased, the relationship between Chinese and foreign car enterprises gradually changing, and the establishment of strategic alliances Obviously it is a good way. “Zhao Ying also” China Business “told reporters:” the emergence of new Auto Union is not impossible, after all, Ford needs China market! ”

Lost after luxury brands Volvo, Ford’s global competitiveness is bound to face challenges, and the choice is quickly rising with Changan Group established a strategic alliance for Ford in terms of nature is essential. Perhaps, as recently as Mulally’s statement: “What is the true partnership? Is that you have me, I have you.”

Currently in the global field, with turbocharged Engine Increasingly become a trend, even though it has always been dedicated to naturally aspirated engine technology, BMW and Honda have begun the gradual development and popularization of pressurized aircraft. This is mainly derived from the supercharged engine unparalleled advantage. With the same power than a naturally aspirated engine, supercharged engine’s displacement is much smaller, not only light weight, power and economic benefit of improved and high torque of the supercharged engine is naturally aspirated engine dynamic characteristics impossible.

For this reason, and now more and more car buyers to lock eyes for the turbo model. As a small country such models, many people often break the car’s limits, the choice between car and SUV. Currently equipped with 1.8T engines only Chinese Taishengdafei an SUV, but there Roewe 550 sedan, Octavia, speed step Teng Teng and several. From the point of view for home, A-class cars and SUV seems a good choice, then in China and that several cars between Taishengdafei How do we choose?

Cars and SUV’s main advantage is usually in the power, comfort, control and economy of.

Santa Fe is based on the precursor platform development SUV, transmission efficiency is the same as that several cars, together with the engine they are 1.8T, roughly the same power level, the power difference is mainly determined by curb mass. Santa Fe is based on the car platform the SUV, so curb mass lighter than the much more traditional off-road-type SUV, with these cars compared to only 100-200 kg weight. As the 1.8T engine 2.4L engine has comparable power, coupled with its peak torque at low speed can be achieved, so the difference in power on the course in the actual driving experience is not obvious. Especially the way most people drive everyday driving in the city, they feel almost the same acceleration.

B-level Santa Fe is a car based on the development of the SUV, its rear suspension uses a relatively rare and more class-Link Design. As a foundation on Santa Fe in control in fact reached the level of several cars. Although the focus of Santa Fe will be slightly higher, most people do not often limit driving more, so under normal cornering ability of their essential difference is not the same.

Comfort is people get very serious, and in the traditional SUV concept car seems less comfortable. In this regard appear to be in turn. As the Santa Fe in the design is no different with the car, so its noise control, vibration and other aspects of mitigation are not inferior to conventional cars. From the platform view, Santa Fe levels but also slightly higher than several A-class car, plus SUV’s open space, Santa Fe in terms of comfort but a slight edge.

Differences in terms of economy and power performance similar to Santa Fe in the transmission efficiency as high, its economic impact in terms of factors that only the dead weight of more than cars. The resulting effect is roughly equivalent to a B-class car with the A-Class fuel consumption differences between, and not essentially different.

Although based on the development of B-class car platform, SUV, but the Santa Fe SUV should still have the quality. Such as its 207mm ground clearance is not any higher than a sedan, plus targeted to the chassis strengthening in the domestic traffic of such a complex case, Santa Fe is undoubtedly more practical choice.

Santa Fe advantage of space is essential, and because the width and height are obviously more than cars, together with the space-door hatchback design brings flexibility, Santa Fe either space or luggage compartment space travel are public cars are than can not. Especially the trunk, Santa Fe’s volume of 850 liters, so far has not done a sedan. In response to travel, long-distance travel, almost all domestic 1.8T Santa Fe 1.8T models can not do so fully.

In fact, the results of this SUV and the car in many cities than there is on the same course, the only difference is that in the other when compared with the displacement model, SUV models will be expensive. However, in this comparison, the situation is just the contrary – Santa Fe 1.8T starts at only 126,800 yuan is the lowest number of models. This last factor is the consumer can see the benefits, it also let us give the final answer is easy: It is clear, if not non-sedan car is not the consumers, Santa Fe 1.8T certainly more worthy of favor.

German Borg Warner (BorgWarner) announced the new Volvo limousine “S80″ with the company’s two Turbocharger “R2S”. With Volvo’s new 2.4L inline five-cylinder diesel emissions Engine“D5″ Supporting Use.

The new D5 engine 2 turbine maximum power output of 151kW (205PS) / 4000rpm, maximum torque of 420N · m. Compared with the original D5 turbo engine, the output power increased by 15kW (20PS), torque increased 20N · m, as an integrated model, fuel consumption from 13.7km / L increased to 14.9km / L. CO2 emissions to 164g. Comply with European emissions regulations “Euro5″.

R2S system consists of a small high-pressure turbine and a large low-pressure turbine in series. At lower engine speeds, the small high-pressure turbine began operation, reducing turbo lag (TurboLag), immediately after operation to achieve high torque, resulting in improved acceleration. Thus, even the weight is about 1700kg models accelerate from standstill to 100km / h takes only 8 seconds. At higher engine speeds, the large-scale turbines become operational, further increasing the air pressure, improved re-acceleration at high speeds, when the output power. In addition, by supporting the use of EGR (exhaust gas recirculation device) to improve the fuel efficiency and reduce the exhaust of harmful substances.

Turbocharger Is used to increase Engine Power and reduce emissions of the important parts. The use, maintenance and improper maintenance, easy to break down, causing the engine not working properly. In this paper, turbo Turbocharger Some common faults and treatment are described below: 1: turbocharger oil leakage Phenomenon I: oil consumed in large quantities, but the exhaust smoke color normal, power is not reduced. Cause: This is usually caused by oil leakage due. Treatment: (1) should first check the engine oil system external tubing (including the turbocharger into the return pipe) whether oil spills; (2) check whether the turbocharger exhaust outlet with oil. If oil can determine the turbine end of the seal ring damage, replace the seal ring. Phenomenon 2: Big oil consumption, blue smoke exhaust run, but the power does not decline. Reason: As the device-side pressure turbocharger oil leakage, oil through the engine intake manifold into the combustion chamber caused by burn, there are several possibilities: (1) turbocharger return pipe is not blocked, the oil in the middle of the Bearing of rotor assembly accumulates too much pressure gas flows along the rotor shaft impeller. (2) close to the compressor impeller end of seal ring or rejection damaged oil ring, oil will enter the impeller chamber, and then with the indoor air with the inlet pressure into the pipe into the combustion chamber through. Treatment: (1) Open the compressor outlet directly or engine intake pipe (rubber hose), mouth guard, the wall is oil adhesion. If yes, please check whether the return pipe flow turbocharger. Such as poor General is due to the middle of the Bearing from excessive oil product should be installed after the return pipe to clear the compound. (2) If the flow were due to the impeller end of the sealing ring oil ring damage or rejection caused by the disintegration of the turbocharger should be repaired. Three phenomena: oil consumed in large quantities, to take blue smoke or black smoke exhaust, and power down. Reason: (1)PistonAnd the cylinder gap between the excessive wear and tear, oil fleeing into the combustion chamber and burned. (2) was the turbocharger air inhaled in the process, encountered greater resistance to air flow. (Such as air Filter Plug, air hose from being sucked into the warp or squash, etc.), compressor inlet pressure of the lower office, causing oil leakage into the compressor, together with the compressed air into the combustion chamber burned. Treatment: (1) Check the soft-wall straight into the air and whether the oil, it was flattened, so there is airflow obstruction or air filter clogging. (2) If the orifice and the wall with oil, air filter should be cleaned or replaced. 2: a metal friction sound Phenomena: black smoke exhaust, power down, and turbocharger are abnormal noise. Reason: (1) If metal friction sound is the turbocharger rotor bearings or excessive thrust bearing wear, impeller and supercharger Shell to friction. (2) If it is not metal friction sound, but the air the sound of the turbocharger rotor speed due to rotation, the rotation generated voice, or inlet and outlet interfaces generated due to bad connections leak phenomenon. Treatment: (1) the former should be considered the wear replacement of defective parts for repair. (2) which should be carefully distinguished, targeted solution. 3: Turbocharger bearing damage Phenomenon: turbocharger bearing failure, the engine power down, oil consumption is high, black smoke, severe turbocharger not work. Reason: (1)Lubricating oil Inadequate pressure and flow. a. supercharger journal and thrust bearings of lubricating oil in short supply; b. between the rotor and the bearing journal to keep floating oil shortage; c. turbocharger has high-speed operation, while the oil is not supplied in time. (2) debris or sediment into the lubrication system. (3) oil oxidized. a. Diesel engine oil overheating, from the piston and cylinder wall, the gas between the Cuanguo too; b. cooling water leak into the engine oil; c. improper use oil and oil without the required periodic replacement. Treatment: (1) Check the oil pressure is normal, whether the oil volume requirements. (2) according to requirements, oil changed regularly, and ensure that oil clean. (3) strictly follow the regulations, use of oil, not mixed. (4) should avoid the engine to work under high temperature conditions, maintaining the engine’s normal operating temperature. Above phenomenon appears to open the turbocharger cleaning, and replace the corresponding parts. When found in turbocharger oil leakage, it must check the return pipe and turbocharger Diesel Ventilation tube is blocked, the oil cooler is working properly. When they find oil into the oil mashed should immediately change the oil and in accordance with the provisions of Oil filter, The only way to rule out the turbocharger failure to ensure that its work under the best conditions.

As international oil prices rise again, in Oil The profits are enormous challenges, in this context, China’s oil prices in the short term will still be high. Meanwhile, demands on people for the improvement of living standards and power performance requirements, Small displacement The turbo-charged “T” electric car is popular.

The reason is that: on the one hand, gasoline prices continue to remain at high, and people for the increasingly demanding quality of life; the other hand, environmental protection requirements, there is an increasing emphasis on Car Emissions impact on society.

In this context, if the need for a balance of small displacement and large power requirements, pressure Engine Will be the best choice, as we know the 1.8T, 2.0T models, powerful self-evident, and the various car brands manufacturers have increased 1.6T, 1.5T, 1.4T engines of R & D efforts.

As the most widely used turbocharged engine, 1.8T is the best choice for many high-end models, such as the Passat, Roewe, with its dynamic performance equivalent to regular 2.4-liter displacement engine, while the displacement is more than 2.4 liter engine is much smaller.

Dongfeng latest product popular “View Plaza TT” is equipped with the 1.8T engine. The car on April 20 in Shanghai Auto Show Announced the latest price ,11.98-145800 yuan price range making it the world’s lowest current turbocharged cars.

Wind power tilt decades has created this model, trying to cost-effective, high performance quickly open the market in order to Own brand China tops the century of the competition.

“Yi Jing TT” using German technology and German manufacturing standards to build, is a true German car, in the application of management tools, “Yi Jing TT” used “Renault series of” strict manufacturing processes and management system to ensure “Yi Jing TT” consistent quality of German cars.
