fourmoon10The secretary is in Boao Asia.2018In the keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the annual meeting, it was announced that we would reduce the import tariffs on automobiles considerably this year. In this year’s government work report, the Prime Minister proposed to reduce the import tariffs on automobiles.

This tariff reduction is in line with the actual situation of the rapid development of China’s automobile market, especially in the face of the complicated and changeable international economic and trade environment.

5.The transition period of tariff reduction needs effective response.
Today the Ministry of Finance announcedsevenmoononeTariffs will be lowered on the 20 th, which is of great benefit to consumers. In particular, many consumers who buy imported cars are high-end people with relatively well-informed information. Tax reduction is an important choice for consumers, so consumers must feel the effect of reducing tariffs in order not to delay the cycle of buying cars. For manufacturers, there is generally more than one month’s channel inventory, which is paid in the early stage.25%Tariff, the cost is high. Although it is to postpone the tax reduction to ease the inventory pressure, it is difficult to ensure that it will not fall sharply. Therefore, it is an inevitable choice for imported cars to reduce taxes early. But this matter has a great influence, which is not decided by the sales department, so it depends on the efficiency of each brand.

7.What should auto financiers pay attention to when financial leasing companies are under the supervision of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission?
In the past, several major businesses were managed by the Ministry of Commerce, and there were shortcomings such as compliance supervision indicators and risk management in supervision. However, with the unification of supervision in China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, this shortcoming will be filled, which will be a painful process for related enterprises. Financial institutions are not allowed to finance some non-compliant companies. These companies may look for financial leasing companies to cooperate, but under the unified supervision, this "detour" approach will not work. For example, the practice of banks looking for financial leasing companies as channels will be difficult to carry out later.
On the other hand, the company’s compliance and internal control are strengthened. For example, the company is required to have a certain compliance person in charge, and the internal control level should have a strict examination and approval system. From the perspective of risk management, the management of leverage ratio will be more clear.
"At present, there are a large number of financial leasing companies, factoring companies and pawn shops. I am afraid that China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission and local banking regulatory bureaus will face greater pressure after being incorporated. However, it is estimated that China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission is responsible for formulating rules, and the supervision will still be returned to local financial work bureaus.

1.The all-wheel steering system was adopted for the first time in 2019.
According to reports, the 2019 model will be the first car with all-wheel steering system (AWS). It is the third generation and an important brand model, so the outside world pays great attention to this luxury.
The third generation is the first car to adopt the all-wheel steering system, sharing a unified production platform with and, while the latter two models also adopt the all-wheel steering system. The system and electronic damping control are sold as part of the technical suite.
As the flagship model of 2019, the all-wheel steering system is only the tip of the iceberg of its technical equipment. Other technical equipment also includes a matrix-type head-up display that can project vehicle condition information on the windshield. In addition, there is a digital cockpit (InnoCockpit) and auxiliary functions, such as semi-automatic steering and lane keeping system that will intervene when the speed exceeds 60 km/h, which will help the car accelerate and brake. In addition to the AWS system, it is the first model equipped with an infrared camera.
