Bike leasing in Europe and the USA: Volkswagen Financial Services and Pon Holdings form strategic alliance VW FS acquires 49 percent stake in Pon bike leasing subsidiary Bike Mobility Services Partnership to focus on accelerating expansion of bike leasing in Europe and the USA Market potential of EUR 10 billion in 2028 for European company bike leasing Bike leasing offers employees and commercial customers extra benefits and makes the e-bike more accessible to more people. Braunschweig, Amsterdam, Munich, 5 September 2023 – Volkswagen Financial Services ("VW FS") and Pon Holdings ("Pon") are intensifying their partnership in company bike leasing. Within this framework, VW FS will acquire a 49 percent stake in the Pon bike leasing subsidiary Bike Mobility Services (BMS). The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on this strategic alliance was signed at the IAA Mobility motor show in Munich today. The aim is to jointly expand in the growing bicycle and e-bike leasing business in Europe and the USA. "Our partnership with Pon is another important step in our development into a broad-based mobility services provider, thereby supporting the strategic goals of the Volkswagen Group," said Dr. Christian Dahlheim, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen Financial Services AG, at the IAA. "There is great potential in bike leasing as an additional profit pool, which perfectly complements our current mobility portfolio. We are thus systematically expanding our service offering for commercial customers and supporting our long-term growth in the European fleet business. We are determined to fully exploit the strengths of Europe's leading automotive captive company and the world's leading bike company." Janus Smalbraak, CEO of Pon Holdings, added: "Together with VW FS, which already has a global footprint and global financial structure in place, I am convinced we hold a unique position to accelerate the international expansion of bicycle leasing together. The company bike fulfills a clear need of employees, employers and governments, which is why we have been able to grow the business so fast in the last five years. The e-bike plays a vital role in future commuting and the lease option provides employees with much broader accessibility made possible by their employers. The outlook for both Europe and USA is very promising. It is exciting to join Volkswagen in its further steps in the bike market and work together on mobility offerings." BMS is Europe's leading bike leasing company and operates in six countries (Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Sweden, and recently the USA). It is currently providing company bikes to over 600,000 employees working in 65,000 companies from large corporations to SMBs. 90 percent of its lease bikes are electric, delivered and serviced through a network of 8,000 bike dealers. The BMS brands are BusinessBike, Lease a Bike and B2Bike. In Germany, VW FS and BMS have already been working together successfully for over three years. BMS is part of Pon.Bike, the world's leading bike company. Company bike leasing as a growth market Germany is a frontrunner in company bike leasing, where it is firmly established as a successful model for promoting employee motivation. It makes bikes, and especially e-bikes, broadly accessible for the whole employee base. Many enterprises of all sizes, from freelancers to large corporations, as well as public authorities and the public sector, now provide their employees with a company bicycle. The company bike, as an alternative means of commuting, helps to reduce congestion and emissions while improving health. Following the significant investments of national governments and municipalities in cycling infrastructure and mobility solutions, bike leasing is evolving strongly in many European markets such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia, the UK, and France. The European market potential for company bike leasing is estimated to reach EUR 10 billion in 2028. "The growth potential in the USA is also significant, with cities and state governments investing heavily in bike infrastructure," Janus Smalbraak noted. "BMS just opened its first US office in San Francisco and has already signed large corporations for company bike leasing. Our existing presence and retail relationships in the USA can help enhance our partnership and our offer to US employees, companies, and retailers." Cycling has experienced worldwide growth for many years. According to the the German Bicycle Industry Association (ZIV), sales of the bicycle industry in Germany were at a record level of around EUR 7.26 billion in 2022. The main drivers of this positive development are e-bikes, which are becoming increasingly popular and accounted for 48 percent of total sales in 2022. In 2023, the association expects more e-bikes to be sold than conventional bicycles without an electric motor for the first time. This growth trend with e-bikes taking the lead is similar for the whole of Europe. This is also applicable to the USA, where the market ramp-up of e-bikes is only beginning. "There are clear parallels to the automotive industry in the development of the bicycle industry. The higher the investment for a bicycle, the more relevant financial services are in order to boost and stabilize sales for manufacturers. Through the cooperation with Pon, VW FS intends to become Europe's largest captive in the bicycle industry," Dahlheim explained. Volkswagen and Pon: A long tradition The cooperation between Pon and the Volkswagen Group has a long tradition. For example, the Volkswagen Bus (Bulli in German) was created more than 75 years ago on the basis of a sketch by Ben Pon, Sr. The largest importer for the Volkswagen Group brands in the Netherlands is Pon. Just recently, Porsche and Pon announced the establishment of two joint ventures for the development of e-bikes and solutions in the field of micro mobility. In addition, the Volkswagen Group and Pon Holdings are together developing Europcar in the direction of a global mobility platform. The investment of Volkswagen Financial Services AG in Bike Mobility Services is subject to approval by the regulatory authorities and by the Supervisory Boards of Volkswagen AG and Volkswagen Financial Services AG.

Magna Steyr may build Chinese cars in Europe Magna already builds cars for BAIC in China. Magna International is in talks to produce vehicles for Chinese brands in Europe as they expand in the region. The supplier’s Magna Steyr contract manufacturing facility in Graz, Austria has some spare output capacity, according to Magna Europe President Uwe Geissinger. “Whether we make them in Graz or a new facility depends on how the talks turn out,” he said in an interview. The Austrian-Canadian supplier has been producing cars for the Chinese market for BAIC at a joint-venture facility in the Asian country but will tread carefully when it comes to future partnerships. "We are closely studying the financial standing of any new production partner," Geissinger said. Only one in 10 of new entrants in the market have the potential to succeed, he said. (ANE)

Un teaser durante la key note alla IAA

i bev suv della triade in Italia e Europa

Ma quale valore ha un marchio sorpassato, con percezione dubbioso se hai d'altra parte un brand nuovo come Cupra che funziona molto bene, che ha attirato una clientela piu facoltoso, quale e anche molto migliore e in grado di trasportare i nuovi valori di una era in transizione. Seat in ogni caso e di iero, non di domani e non ha mai avuto neanche il minimo di carattere e brio.

Quanti anni sono che hanno prodotto in Alfa la Alfasud? Nonostante Alfa sta anche oggi per ruggine e qualita scarsa in Germania.

Secondo me per molto mercati il problema di Seat era la sua storia "Fiat" (e anche la vicinanza del nome), con questi radici per Seat era sempre gia in una situazione "terra bruciata" in senso della percezione dei possibile clienti - un problema che Skoda non ha avuto.

La Passat in USA non esiste piu.

...e parallelo ai prodotti nuovi Mercedes al momento sta aumentando la sua capacita ingegneristica in Cina. Stanno raddoppiandoil headcount del team dello sviluppo a Shanghai e Bejing da 1200 a 2300-2400. Diventera sempre piu chiara dove in futuro sara la industria automotive. (Automobilwoche)

36000, ma la maggior parte Arona, Ateca e Ibiza low cost.

Zipse alla sera della IAA (Automobil-Industrie, traduzione automatica con DeepL) Politica industriale Il capo di BMW Zipse critica il divieto di circolazione delle auto a combustione Il CEO di BMW Oliver Zipse ha criticato aspramente la politica industriale tedesca e il divieto dell'UE di produrre nuove auto a benzina e diesel a partire dal 2035. "Ritengo che la decisione politica di eliminare gradualmente le auto a combustione sia una negligenza", ha dichiarato al quotidiano "Handelsblatt" (1 settembre). Per la costruzione di massa delle auto elettriche mancano materie prime come litio, cobalto e terre rare. L'Europa diventerebbe così dipendente dalle importazioni e politicamente ricattabile. "E dove si ricaricheranno tutte queste auto elettriche? Nel 2035 non ci sarà un'infrastruttura completa per le auto elettriche in Europa", ha detto Zipse e ha avvertito: "Alla fine, questo potrebbe anche diventare un problema sociale. Quando la mobilità non sarà più accessibile". Un divieto senza un'alternativa valida a lungo termine soffocherebbe la crescita di un intero settore ad altissimo valore aggiunto. La Cina, invece, ha sviluppato e promosso la sua industria automobilistica lungo l'intera catena del valore con una chiara strategia di politica industriale. "Si parte dalle miniere, si continua con la raffinazione delle materie prime e si finisce con la cella della batteria", ha detto Zipse. "L'Europa ha un problema strutturale Ha aggiunto che la Germania, in collaborazione con l'UE, si sta concentrando solo sull'alimentazione a batteria, ma "è saggio, in un continente con una forte industria ma senza accesso alle materie prime essenziali per le batterie, promuovere solo questa tecnologia?". Per costruire masse di auto elettriche, è necessario garantire la disponibilità di materie prime, "ed è qui che l'Europa ha un problema strutturale". La mobilità elettrica è il principale motore di crescita per BMW e senza dubbio il percorso più importante per la mobilità individuale del futuro, "ma non è l'unico".

Immatricolazioni Cupra in Germania: 45% Formentor, 25% Leon, 20% Born, 10% Ateca. Primi 7 mesi totale ca. 38.000 vendite (Skoda in questo periodo 97.000)

IAA - La Mission X oggi allo stand open air nel centro storico di Monaco b

Hai ragione senza dubbio, solo che +/- 2/3 delle Passat Combi gia da anni sono vendute in Germania dove questa grandezza non e una problema troppo rilevante.

Lo stand di Tesla sulla IAA

No, G45 e nuovo anche se la base rimane una sorta di Clar come anche G60 e G70.

0 sedan, 1 Combi, 2 Coupe, 3 cabrio, 4 grancoupe, 5 suv, 6 suv coupe, 7,8 cinesi 1combi/hatch dipende dalla base, 8 sempre cinese

Si…what else??

Si con unaquota vendite sopra 60% della produzione totale in Cina.

Le berlinone, sopratutto quelli full electric, si vende a Cina, quindi se azzecano il gusto cinese con la nuova 4P poi potrebbe essere un successo relativo per Maserati, se no, poi sara un flopone.

Ma questa assenza di sensori di distanza non e nuovo per la versione LCI. Gia gli esistenti Tesla 3 fanno le manovre e misura della distanza per parcheggiare con le telecamere. Almeno a quella di un amico piemontese (comprata questa primavera) e cosi e provando la macchina devo dire che funziona benissimo con queste camere (almeno adesso durante l'estate, da vedere come funziona nel inverno con camere sporchi, salate)
