...Introduction India’s automobile market has grown steadily over the last seven to eight years, with the exception of the previous two years where the effects of the global downturn were felt, primarily in sales of commercial vehicles. However, even during the downturn, the two-wheeler and three wheeler segments, which were until then experiencing low growth or losing volumes, bucked the trend. India’s automotive industry is well-positioned for growth, servicing both domestic demand and, increasingly, export opportunities. The auto industry currently contributes about 5% of the GDP and is expected to grow five-fold by 2016 and account for over 10% of India’s GDP. In terms of production, the number of automobiles being made steadily increased from 5.3 million units in 2001-02 to 10.8 million units in 2007-08.

...TJPU The Chinese automotive market In accordance to the German car manufacturers Preface The Chinese automotive market is immensely growing and becoming one of the strongest revenue generating market around the world. As the German car manufacturing industry is the third largest in this business sector and therefore it is not surprising that the well known German companies with Volkswagen leading the way want a big market share. According to this initial situation this paper should show up the actual situation of the Chinese markets and their own brands compared to the German and other manufacturers 1.0 Introduction of the market situation The market for automobiles in China has been the largest one in the whole world for now more than 8 years, as they overtook the leadership from the US market in 2008, measured by the total amount of units produced within a year. Since 2009 the numbers for the total production of automobile units exceed the ones of the total European Union or every other comparable market.

...programs on show everyday in diversified channels; hence there are thousands and thousands of TV presenters we can see. Some may leave us a very deep impression while others may not leave a thing in our mind. Here, I’d like to talk about the TV presenter I love, Wu Zongxian, although others may have a mixed feeling about him. Being a TV presenter in Taiwan, Wu started his career in the field of variety shows in the late 1980s, and then he became famous because of his unique style of hosting TV programs and therefore the TV programs he hosted are constantly ahead in the ratings. All these earn him the top salary among those TV presenters in Taiwan, being the local king for many rs. In 2008, he even won the Golden Bell Awards in television industry. His fast reaction and tactfulness in hosting is among the first class, second to few others, and gradually, he formed his own style of hosting TV programs. Because he likes to use those popular words on the internet, and his figure is not like other middle-aged men, he is quite popular among the young audience. However, he also likes to rip on people, open the low gun, speak nonsense, and disrespect women, which, meanwhile, bring him a lot of criticisms. Thanks to the change of the criteria of assessment, Wu was nominated three times for the best TV presenter in 2006,2007 and 2008, and successfully won the golden bell award in 2008 with the popular program “guess, guess, guess”” This is also the best affirmation to him. When I feel...

...dream got realized. Some adjectives to describe him are: anxious, optimistic, and perhaps overly ambitious. Tucker was a visionary; a man who made some changes to the automobile that have become staples in manufacturing plants today. His idea for a seatbelt as well as a directional headlight and windshield that would pop out in the event of a collision changed the way engineers think about cars. No one can dispute Tucker’s will to succeed. He was the eternal optimist who knew that he could help improve the automobile industry. However, despite Mr. Tucker’s optimistic bravado, had he played his cards better, the Tucker Sedan could have been far more successful than it was. Tucker had been around vehicles for many years, whether it be with the Tucker Aviation Corporation or his venture with Harry Miller and occasional trips to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. When he got the idea for a new type of car, he was extremely excited about it’s possibilities. He thought that he could revolutionize the way an automobile worked, and was extremely confident that he could make it happen. Tucker was a confident man. He was confident that he had a great idea and confident that he could find qualified people to help him achieve his dream. To the dismay of Abe Karatz, he stood up before the Government and blasted the “Big 3” automobile makers in Detroit. He said that they were “guilty of negligence, and they don’t care about safety.” What Tucker did took cojones. He was a passionate man who was not...
