Mitsubishi Says It’s Not Overly Concerned With Trump’s Tariffs

https://www.carscoops.com/2018/08/mitsu ... p-tariffs/

Mitsubishi is remaining optimistic in the face of potential tariffs from the Trump administration.

The Japanese company imports every vehicle it sells in the U.S. and could be hit hard by a 25 per cent tariff on foreign-made cars sold in the country. Nonetheless, chief operating officer Trevor Mann says the automaker has some things up its sleeve, Automotive News reports.

For starters, it is planning a host of new models to launch from 2020. These will include the next-generation Outlander and a selection of other models using platforms and engines from Renault and Nissan. Mann believes these vehicles will boost Mitsubishi’s appeal.

Further helping Mitsubishi is the fact that the United States is still a very small market for it. Just 10 per cent of the brand’s worldwide sales originate from the U.S. and the country contributes less than 10 per cent to Mitsubishi’s profits.

“It’s not going to be a corporate disaster for us. The impact on us would be less than on many other brands. It’s a bump in the road that we’re going to have to repair,” Mann said.

Mitsubishi operated a production facility in the U.S., but closed it down in 2016. Once 2020 comes around, Mann revealed that the manufacturer may think about restarting U.S. production to protect it from long-term tariffs.

Despite its optimism, the brand does want to increase its footprint in the country. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, Mitsubishi intends on bumping up North American sales by 23 per cent to 190,000. Such a figure outpaces the 18 per cent growth target which it is aiming for globally.

Tariffs 'a bump in the road' for Mitsubishi

http://www.autonews.com/article/2018081 ... mitsubishi



Mitsubishi COO Trevor Mann points to key vehicles such as the Eclipse Cross and Outlander as reasons for his optimism.



TOKYO — The threat of U.S. tariffs couldn't come at a worse time for Mitsubishi, a struggling brand that has just begun a long-awaited recovery in the U.S.

But COO Trevor Mann insists Mitsubishi is well placed to weather a trade storm.

"In the short term," he says, "I would see it as a bump in the road."

U.S. growth plays a key role in Mitsubishi Motors Corp.'s plans, even though the company shuttered its only U.S. auto plant in 2016. Now, as a pure import player, the Japanese carmaker is more exposed than ever to a tariff broadside.

So why the optimism, with the auto industry fretting the possibility of a 25 percent duty? Mitsubishi has several things going for it, Mann said. It starts with a new wave of product due around 2020.

The improvements will include the next generation of the top-selling Outlander crossover and other vehicles that incorporate platforms and engines from Mitsubishi's alliance partners Renault and Nissan. Mann said the redesigns will boost brand appeal and help shield sales from tariffs.

After 2020, Mann added, Mitsubishi may also start thinking about localizing U.S. production again. A U.S. manufacturing footprint would help insulate the brand from long-term tariff damage.

Until then, a short-term tariff impact should be mitigated by the fact that the U.S. contributes only 10 percent of Mitsubishi's worldwide sales — and even less to profits.

"It's not going to be a corporate disaster for us," Mann said of tariffs. "The impact on us would be less than on many other brands. It's a bump in the road that we're going to have to repair."

Mitsubishi was working to fix its U.S. business long before the talk of tariffs, Mann said.

Despite the small U.S. presence, Mitsubishi has prioritized North America as a "focus" market in its midterm business plan.

Mitsubishi hopes to lift North American sales 23 percent to 190,000 vehicles in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. That outpaces the global target of 18 percent growth to 1.3 million.

The U.S. recovery is off to a good start. Sales surged 23 percent to 77,277 vehicles through July.

"Mitsubishi was a bit of a sleeping giant. As a brand, we have great potential," said Mann, who was dispatched to Mitsubishi from Nissan after Nissan's 2016 acquisition of a controlling stake. "I think we're demonstrating that we're waking up."

Mann has concentrated on strengthening Mitsubishi's U.S. retail network. The first step was listening to dealers' suggestions and identifying fixes.

There were plenty.

A major request has been to increase the supply of a centralized inventory. Dealers said they were spending too much time having to swap vehicles among themselves when supply ran short.

Mitsubishi also has been working with dealers and its U.S. sales financing partner Ally to streamline the loan process. Also underway is a review of the automaker's incentive program, Mann said.

"We were not communicating properly with them," he said of U.S. dealers. "We started to re-engage. If you can't talk with people, you can't find out what the issues are. If you can't find out what the issues are, you can't fix them."

Mitsubishi had 353 U.S. outlets at the end of June and wants 10 more by the end of next March.

Localizing production

Dealers will get another boost from next-generation products built through alliance synergies. Those vehicles will start to generate volumes that may warrant localized production, Mann said.

Mitsubishi needs annual U.S. volume of 70,000 to 80,000 for a single nameplate to justify local output, Mann said. But a vehicle such as the Outlander, one of Mitsubishi's best-sellers worldwide, might squeak by on less, especially if it shares underpinnings with Nissan.

"When we start to get more effective models, which are fresher and more fit for market, then I think this is the time when we can start to get the kind of critical mass we need," he said.

Mann said Mitsubishi will re-examine localized production regardless of tariffs.

If Mitsubishi were to resume building vehicles in the U.S., it would likely be in conjunction with Nissan, possibly through an expansion of a Nissan assembly site.

"It would probably be unlikely that we'd build a factory of our own," Mann said.

Leaning on Nissan's U.S. factory network would be one hedge against tariffs. But Mann said there are other possible workarounds, such as tapping Renault-Samsung production in South Korea, which — at least for the time being — has a free-trade agreement with the U.S.

Mann's upbeat assessment comes as Mitsubishi's global recovery gathers speed. The carmaker this month reported a 36 percent jump in operating profit on rising sales in every key market, and because of robust cost savings from working with Nissan and Renault. Worldwide retail sales grew 21 percent to 292,000 vehicles in the fiscal first quarter ended June 30.

Operating profit for the quarter advanced to ¥28.1 billion ($253.9 million) from $186.1 million a year earlier, the company reported.

Parent company net income increased 23 percent to $254.8 million in the April-June period, from $207.8 million in the previous fiscal year.

The healthy results were buoyed by the introduction of new vehicles such as the Eclipse Cross and Outlander PHEV crossovers in the United States, and the Xpander multipurpose vehicle in Southeast Asia.

The upswing underscored the V-shaped recovery CEO Osamu Masuko has pursued in the wake of a 2016 fuel economy scandal and Mitsubishi's ensuing tie-up with former rival Nissan.

Cost cutting

Stepped-up cost cutting also helped bolster profits in the quarter. Mitsubishi has been aggressively cutting operating costs, partly through joint purchasing, logistics and other synergies with Renault and Nissan.

The new synergy lifted results by $85.8 million in the quarter, accounting for about a third of operating income, CFO Koji Ikeya said while announcing the financial results.

Mitsubishi and Nissan have opened a joint training center in the Philippines and a joint national distribution center in Australia. Mitsubishi has said it will use Renault's sales financing subsidiary in the Netherlands. It is already using Nissan's sales financing in markets such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand.

Un bebelus a fost botezat „Jocurile Asiatice” !


“Sper ca acest nume va fi in folosul fiicei noastre in viitor. Pentru ca are jocuri asiatice in numele ei, daca are talentul de atlet, o vom lasa sa devina atlet”, spun parintii. Bebelusul, al carui nume complet este Abidah Jocurile Asiatice, a venit pe lume cu o luna mai devreme, cu doar cateva ore inaintea ceremoniei de deschidere a evenimentului, sambata trecuta la Jakarta si Palembang. Totusi, parinti au precizat ca ii vor lasa fiicei lor, cand va fi mare, posibilitatea de a-si schimba numele daca va dori. Paradoxal, in Indonezia numele bizare nu sunt chiar raritati, anul trecut un alt cuplu si-a numit copilul Pajero Sport, datorita pasiunii tatalui sau pentru modelul SUV 4×4 de la Mitsubishi, in timp ce altele de genul Kentut (flatulenta, in traducere) sau Tuhan (Dumnezeu) si Saiton (Satan) au devenit virale pe retelele de socializare.
