Auto Manufacturing History
Eras of Invention (late 17th century – 1890s):
 A small steam car was demonstrated in 1678
The early automobiles manufacturing companies: Panhard
et Levassor, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, Winton, Ford, etc.
 After 1930, the number of auto manufacturers declined
sharply as the industry consolidated and matured.
 By 1960s, foreign competition arose as Japanese
appeared as a serious auto manufacturing nation.
 Captive imports and badge engineering swept through
the U.S. and UK, resulting in major acquisitions and
merges by the end of 1960s.
Auto Manufacturing History



As the 1973 oil crisis, automobile emissions control
rules, Japanese and European imports, and stagnant
innovation changed American industry.
Small imported cars outperformed large American ones,
and the domestic auto industry began to fail. Small
performance cars from BMW, Toyota, and Nissan took
the place of big-engined cars from America and Italy.

Regulation History

Emission Regulation Act
 Since 1970, emissions from motor vehicles were regulated by
Transport Canada under the authority of the Motor Vehicle
Safety Act (MVSA) and it was later amended in 1993.
 In 1999, with the passage of the proposed amendment to the
Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), automotive
emissions regulations have become the responsibility of
Environment Canada.
 In 2001, Canadian government published the Canada Gazette
Part I to develop and implement services and measures over the
next decade to further protect the health of Canadians and the
environment by reducing emissions from vehicles, engines and
fuels.

Global Auto Ownership
Porter’s Model for Automakers
Barriers to entry
 Weak supplier power
 The threats to substitute products is low
However, are offset by
 Strong rivalry among competitors
 Bargaining power of consumers

Supply Chain
Auto Suppliers

Facing a number of challenges including:
 A lack
of pricing power, high labor costs,
decreasing volume and increasing raw
material costs;
 NAFTA-only suppliers are losing market
shares to global suppliers.
 Suppliers are trying to increase value-added
content, supply systems instead of
components, technology innovations, etc.
 Acquisitions, joint ventures, etc.
M & A of Auto Suppliers

Changes in Gas Price vs. SUV & Hybrid Auto

Current Auto Manufacturing
Manufacturers’ Unit Price Comparison

On average, vehicles from US car makers
were sold for $21,597 in 2005, which was
13% below the comparable sales price for
the Japanese car makers’. It was mainly
due to:
 Missed
design opportunities
 Heavy employee-level discounting
 Higher labor costs
Manufacturers’ Operating Margins
Comparison

US automakers’ operating margins are lower than their
major competitors’.

Cost Structure - CAPEX
Cost Structure – R&D
Cost Structure – Health & Pension

The U.S. “Big Three” reported that pension and health
cost them $1,500 per vehicle produced currently.
Interoperability Costs

Imperfect interoperability impose costs due to higher
costs of design and production and slower
implementation of design changes.

“ACEA agreement” is a voluntary agreement between European
automobiles manufacturers association and the European
Commissions. Its goal is to reduce 25% of 1995’s level of vehicle
CO2 emissions by 2008. Automakers are questioned for failing to
deliver the emissions cut.
- Japan automakers joined the agreement later and aimed to reduce
23% in vehicle CO2 emissions by 2010 (from 1995 levels).
Australia: voluntary commitment to improve fuel economy by 18%
by 2010.
Canada: has proposed a 25% improvement in fuel economy by
2010.
China: Introduced new fuel economy standards in 2004; weightbased standards to be introduced in 2 phases (2005 and 2008).
California: CARB approved GHG emissions reductions for
automobiles, currently under legislative review.
New York: Clean Cars Bill proposing to follow California standards
is currently in committee. Several other NE states have indicated
they will follow CA’s lead.
Emission Standards Comparison
However, automakers are questioned for failing to
deliver the emissions cut.
Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda, Audi, Volvo, BMW and
Volkswagen are the worst performers among a
group of 20 manufacturers surveyed by the
Institute for European Environmental Policy
(IEEP) for T&E, the European Federation for
Transport and the Environment.
There will be additional manufacturing associated
with CO2 emission constraints.
