German Manager Magazin: BYD, Lufthansa and Volkswagen – The newsletter “Manage: Mobility” 004443

Dear reader, dear reader,

Where were you ten years ago today? One of our esteemed readers will certainly know that. Matthias Müller (72) competed on Martin Winterkorn (78) as Volkswagen boss in Wolfsburg on September 25, 2015. Nothing was less than getting the diesel scandal that had just become public. Zu Müller’s credo became two words the following year with a lot of PR-Esis: “Just make.” If that were so simple, my colleague Michael Freitag might have less to do. However, he has compiled a whole series of new dramas from the Volkswagen Empire these days, in which others have long played the leading role than the miller, which was shot in 2018, more.

Perhaps BYDS marketing strategists should consider whether they should change the Chinese car manufacturer in Germany in BYN. In any case, “Build your Nightmares” would fit better for the German market than “Build Your Dreams”. In any case, the market expectations of Vice -chief Stella Li (55) are largely built on sand, as my colleague Christoph Seyerlein researched. A car dealer told him about a “total false start” and another of missing vehicle registrations. The discrepancy between the desire to sell 120,000 vehicles in 2026 and the reality 2024 – there was just 2891. Here is a detailed analysis about the tough struggle of the Chinese attackers for market shares in Germany

Some car suppliers are older than the car. The door lock builders from Kiekert look back on a story that began in 1857 in the North Rhine-Westphalian Heiligenhaus. As a lock and cohered factory. 168 years later, the company filed for bankruptcy – and blame the previous Chinese owner. The operational business continues in the provisional procedure at all locations, the provisional insolvency administrator Joachim Exner said. The group of companies, which is considered the inventor of the central locking, currently employ a total of 4,500 people with an order stock of around 10 billion euros.

Researchers at the University of Bochum have determined in elaborate procedures, What consequences a speed limit would have on German highways 

. Result: The number of fatal traffic accidents would decrease by more than a third. Maike Metz-Peter from the Chair of Economic Policy and Applied Econometry at the Ruhr University Bochum analyzed around half of the entire German motorway network and data from 2017 to 2019. Extrapolated to all previously unlimited sections, a speed limit of 120 kilometers per hour would prevent 53 fatal accidents with 58 fatalities, 649 serious accidents with 904 seriously injured and 801 slight accidents with 1375 slightly injured. The resulting accident costs amount to 216 million euros per year.

I prefer to take my foot from the gas – if I don’t sit in the ICE as so often – in the future!

Your Claas Tatje
