More than vehicles. The fair of the Automotive Industry, IAA, starts in Munich. Chinese automakers are eagerly awaited.
Once upon a time there was a motor show: What started in 1897 in Berlin as the International Motor Show (IAA), stayed there for nearly 50 years and was then headquartered in Frankfurt am Main for seven decades. But now it belongs to history. Two years ago - still under Corona conditions - the organizer, the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), completely revamped the concept in an attempt to ensure the fair's survival as a "world's only mobility platform". in a new location: right next to Munich.
On September 5, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will open the fair. And every time it appears, the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) declares that it is no longer about cars as such, but about "urban mobility", about "mobility ecosystems" and no longer about a single transport. It is possible that these verbal jokes are intended to divert attention from the fact that not so many car manufacturers come to Munich anymore, but many more bicycle manufacturers.

Towards conquering the European market
Of course, German national manufacturers will not miss the opportunity to appear in the Bavarian capital: first of all BMW, based in Munich, but also Volkswagen and Mercedes Benz.
But the list runs out quickly: Renault from France is there, luxury electric car maker Lucid from the US and Rimac, a noble sports car maker from Croatia. The European Stellantis Group sends only Opel to the German subsidiary from its extensive portfolio. Newcomer Vinfast, from Vietnam, withdrew its commitment shortly before the start of the fair.

But what should be particularly interesting is the presentation of the Chinese manufacturer BYD (Build Your Dreams). The Shenzhen company - which recently replaced Volkswagen as the market leader in China - wants to launch its European market conquest in Munich, where it plans to introduce six vehicles at the same time.
In Munich, the Chinese will present SEAL U and its luxury sub-brand DENZA as a European premiere. BYD, which made it big as a developer of smartphone batteries, takes advantage of this very advantage: the battery in BYD cars does not require nickel, cobalt or manganese and is relatively cheap to produce. When it comes to software and technical tricks for electric vehicles, the Chinese have long been the benchmark, at least in their home market.

Tesla also arrives
Megjithëse makinat elektrike kineze janë ende një gjë e rrallë në rrugët gjermane (sipas Qendrës së Menaxhimit të Automobilave, vetëm 1,448 BYD sheh në rrugë, krahasuar me 207,000 VW), situata mund të ndryshojë shpejt, veçanërisht pasi te makinat kineze, si për shumë produkte të tjera edhe çmimet bien. Prodhuesit nga Japonia dhe Koreja e Jugut, të cilët erdhën në Evropë në vitet 1980 dhe 1990, duhet të shërbejnë si shembull (paralajmërim): pasu me ata u tallën, ata tani janë po aq pjesë e skenës së përditshme në rrugët gjermane sa një VW Golf.
Por që të mos flasin të gjithë vetëm për kinezët, organizatorët kanë investuar shumë përpjekje për të tërhequr në Mynih pionieren e makinave elektrike Tesla, e cila përndryshe u drejtohet vetëm eventeve të brendshme për të prezantuar produktet e saj. Tesla do të jetë e pranishme në të ashtuquajturën Hapësirë ??të Hapur në qendër të Mynihut dhe do të shfaqë atje modelin 3 të rishikuar.
Është e rëndësishme të dihet se koncepti i panairit parashikon dy vendndodhje: nga njëra anë, Hapësira e Hapur e lartpërmendur në pika të ndryshme në qendër të qytetit për publikun e gjerë dhe, nga ana tjetër, terrenet e panairit në periferi të qytetit për vizitorët profesionistë.Sipas organizatorëve, pavionet janë 90% të rezervuara. BYD është i pranishëm në të dyja vendet.
Kohë të vështira
Natyrisht, edhe prodhuesit gjermanë do të marrin forcë nga dobësia dhe nuk do të duan t'ua lënë terrenin kinezëve pa luftë. Boshllëku i Coronas është mbushur dhe zinxhirët e furnizimit në pjesën më të madhe funksionojnë përsëri. Rrjedhimisht, qarkullimi dhe fitimet u rritën fuqishëm në tremujorin e dytë: industria automobilistike mbetet një motor rritjeje në ekonominë gjermane të goditur.

Por gjendja nuk do të vazhdojë kështu. Ekspertët parashikojnë kohë të vështira. Konsulenca AlixPartners beson se "Kina është në rrugën për t'u bërë një superfuqi e automobilave" dhe se epokës së fitimeve rekord për prodhuesit gjermanë "po i vjen fundi”. Konsulentët e EY besojnë se "era po fryn gjithnjë e më shumë kundër" prodhuesve perëndimorë.
In this sense, the fair will once again revolve around the automobile and who is ahead in the race for electric vehicles. For the Chinese market, the answer seems clear: studies predict a market share of 65% for domestic manufacturers in 2030.
For those who find all this too much, that there is a lot of talk about vehicles, they can ride a bike in Munich as well. In the English garden, the "green lung" of Munich, there will be a four-kilometer test track for bicycles of all kinds. And those for whom the car is the real enemy will also be present. Several action alliances have already announced a large demonstration and blockades and other obstructive actions./ DW
