  3) L'information donnée par Bloomberg, sachant que la SAIC vise l'objectif de 3 millions de véhicules vendus en 2010, avec ses différents "joint-ventures" et compte donc poursuivre son expansion en levant des fonds à hauteur de 1,2 Milliard d'euros :

 

SAIC Motor Halts Shares Pending Sale of New Stock

    June 19 (Bloomberg) -- SAIC Motor Corp., China’s largest domestic carmaker, said trading in its Shanghai-listed shares will be halted June 21 pending an announcement about a share placement to be reviewed by its board within a week.

    China, which surpassed the U.S. as the world’s largest vehicle market last year, is encouraging domestic automakers to develop their own brands and alternative-energy technology to compete with global rivals including Ford Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Co. SAIC, which owns the British Rover and MG sports-car brands, debuted its E1 electric concept car at the Beijing auto show in April.

    “Fundraising is of great importance to SAIC right now as it needs to develop next-generation models for its Roewe and MG brands,” John Zeng, a Shanghai-based analyst with IHS Global Insight, said in a phone interview today. “It is also in talks with General Motors to buy next-generation technology for the Buick LaCrosse and it needs money to build a plant in Wuxi after the LDV purchase in the U.K.”

    MG Cars

    SAIC re-branded Rover cars in China as Roewe after taking over the design rights in 2005. It plans to start making MG brand cars at its plant in the U.K. by the end of this year, spokeswoman Zhu Xiangjun said in January.

    The company said in October it planned to buy equipment from LDV Group Ltd. and move some tooling to China after the U.K. vanmaker collapsed and was sold to Eco Concept Ltd.

    The Shanghai-based company aims to sell more than 3 million vehicles this year, and achieve sales of 245 billion yuan ($36 billion) compared with 140 billion yuan in 2009, according to a filing to the Shanghai stock exchange on April 1. SAIC’s May sales rose 26 percent from a year earlier to 289,239 units, the automaker said on June 7.

    Most of SAIC’s vehicles are made with its partners GM and VW. The company aims to sell 180,000 of its own brand vehicles this year, President Chen Hong said in March.

    The automaker’s shares have dropped 40.1 percent to 12.05 yuan since the beginning of this year compared with a 23 percent decline in the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index. They fell 3.8 percent yesterday.

A mi-chemin entre l'Angleterre et l'Allemagne, non ?  (je ne sous-entends pas que ça ressemble à une française!!). Mais effectivement, c'est plutôt réussi.

[perkins]

Le groupe américain General Motors (GM) et son partenaire chinois  SAIC Motor Corp. vont produire conjointement de nouveaux moteurs et des systèmes de transmission, vient de déclarer le groupe GM. Ces moteurs seront utilisés dans le monde entier, a précisé Kevin Wale, le president de General Motors en  Chine, à Shanghai.

Une nouvelle étape dans ce "joint-venture":

GM Plans High-Tech Engines With China Partner


General Motors Co. will team up with its Chinese partner to develop powertrain technologies geared at making cars more fuel-efficient, as the global race to prepare for tougher fuel-economy requirements heats up.
The move aims to boost the fuel economy of small gasoline engines by tapping such technology as turbo-charging -- previously used to go faster -- to travel longer distances on the same amount of fuel.

To meet fuel-economy regulations that are expected to become tougher in markets around the world, "we need to continue to advance technology levels of engines and transmissions not just in China but around the world," Daniel Hancock, GM's vice president of global strategic product alliances said in a telephone interview with The Wall Street Journal Wednesday.

GM and SAIC Motor Corp. Wednesday signed an agreement in Shanghai to jointly develop a family of several high-tech small engines and advanced automatic transmissions.
"Together, we will continue to quickly provide our customers leading-edge technologies that improve vehicle fuel efficiency and deliver robust performance," said Tom Stephens, GM vice chairman of global product operations, in a statement.

The new small engines, whose efficiency will be enhanced by technologies such as turbo-charging and gasoline direct injection, should provide "up to 20%" gains in fuel economy over powertrain technologies available today, Mr. Hancock said.

Those technologies, to be made available in engines ranging from one liter to 1.5 liters, are to be deployed in cars "in a few years" in China as well as markets around the world where GM operates, he said.

The engineering work will be conducted in Detroit and at the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center, the two companies' joint venture engineering and design center in Shanghai, he said.

Mr. Hancock declined to elaborate further but noted that the new technologies are "all directed for the interest of [fuel] efficiency while still maintaining good vehicle performance."

The joint development is "significant" because it marks the first time when GM and SAIC – partners for more than a decade already – are going to develop "base" propulsion technology, going a step further than simply integrating existing engine and gearbox technologies into automobiles.

Mr. Hancock said the new technologies are necessary for the U.S. auto maker to meet more stringent fuel-economy requirements around the world. Those anticipated requirements are "definitely going to drive us toward coming up with more efficient propulsion systems and more efficient vehicles in the future," he said.

The joint GM-SAIC development program also could let GM close the gap that was opening with rivals in the development of fuel-efficient cars to deal with the prospect of tougher fuel-economy requirements in China. Ford Motor Co., for instance, is deploying a new family of high-tech engines called "Ecoboost" this year in the U.S. and later around the world.

The technologies, such as turbo-charging and gas direct-injection, that Ford have used to deliver up to 20% better fuel economy in "Ecoboost" engines are similar to those GM and SAIC say they plan to develop. Japan's Nissan Motor Co. has said it is working on similar technology. Ford is aiming to launch in China cars with "Ecoboost" engines late this year. By 2013, the Dearborn, Mich., auto maker is expected to be producing approximately 1.5 million "Ecoboost" engines globally.

Dans le Financial Times du 07/10/2010, un article sur la relance de MG par la SAIC, quelques extraits :

MG plans first all-new car in 15 years
...

The first cars will be made from knocked-down kits brought from China. However, if the new model proves successful, MG plans to increase the amount of assembly it does in the UK – and thus give new life to what was once one of Europe’s largest car plants.

MG has given London-based advertising agency DCH a brief to remind carbuyers of its heritage, without dwelling on sepia-tinged nostalgia for models made by MG Rover, which went into administration in 2005. “We’ve got to get across the idea of having a great past with a bright, exciting future”, says Guy Jones, MG Motor’s UK sales and marketing director.

...

The company will sell the MG6 in a five-door fastback version, followed by a four-door saloon, and sell it for £16,000 to £20,000 – a modest price for a car of its size. If MG manages to revive its brand in Britain – and later in Europe – it will have ample room to expand on the sprawling Longbridge site, whose facilities include a mothballed paint shop.

...

“MG Rover was a failing business that couldn’t fund new investment, and couldn’t survive”, says Mr Jones. “This is the polar opposite – part of one of the fastest-growing businesses in the world”.

Les projets de MG et la première voiture entièrement nouvelle depuis 15 ans
...

Les premières voitures seront fabriquées à partir de kits démontés et apportés de Chine. Toutefois, si le nouveau modèle est un succès, MG prévoit d'augmenter le montant de l'assemblage, il le ferait au Royaume-Uni - et donc cherche à donner une nouvelle vie à ce qui était autrefois une des usines automobiles les plus grandes  de l'Europe.

MG a donné à l'agence de publicité DCH basée à Londres un texte  pour rappeler son patrimoine en matière automobile, sans s'attarder sur la nostalgie et les modèles réalisés par MG Rover, qui est entré en administration en 2005. "Nous avons à faire passer l'idée d'avoir un grand passé avec un avenir brillant et fascinant", dit Guy Jones, directeur les ventes de MG Motor UK et directeur du marketing.

...

La société vendra le modèle MG6 dans une version fastback cinq portes, suivie d'une berline quatre portes,  pour un prix de £ 16,000 à £ 20,000 - un prix modeste pour une voiture de sa taille. Si MG réussit à relancer sa marque en Grande-Bretagne - et plus tard en Europe - il aura suffisamment d'espace pour l'expansion tentaculaire sur le site de Longbridge, dont les installations comprennent un atelier de peinture en sommeil.

...

"MG Rover a été une entreprise en difficulté qui ne pouvaient pas financer de nouveaux investissements et ne pouvait pas survivre», dit M. Jones. «C'est la situation diamétralement opposée - elle fait  partie de l'une des activités les plus dynamiques au monde".

SAIC Motor Corporation Limited Near General Motors Company IPO Stake Buy-Reuters
Thursday, 11 Nov 2010 01:19am EST
Reuters reported that General Motors Company is in the final stage of talks to sell equity to SAIC Motor Corporation Limited as part of its initial public offering. The two government-funded automakers are currently finalizing how much of a stake SAIC would buy in General Motors Company after discussions involving technology sharing and SAIC's ambitions to move beyond the China market.

    China's Largest Automaker to Invest in GM

    SAIC Motor Corp., China's largest automaker and a joint-venture partner with General Motors, is preparing to buy about $500 million worth of stock in the Detroit automaker, according to a newspaper website.

    The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that SAIC is one of several foreign investors who could buy GM shares worth more than $1 billion as part of an initial public stock offering scheduled for Nov. 18. GM and SAIC wouldn't comment on the report when contacted by The Associated Press.

    The U.S. government, which now owns 61 percent of GM but is looking to reduce its stake to around 40 percent in the IPO, has said the company would seek foreign investment as well as investment from the U.S.

    Foreign investment in U.S. automakers and other companies is common.

    Investment from sovereign wealth funds is considered good for a company because the funds tend to hold stakes for a long time, providing stability, the newspaper said. But it's also a touchy issue for the Obama administration, especially if some individual investors in the U.S. are unable to buy shares in the IPO.

    U.S. taxpayers gave GM $50 billion to get it through bankruptcy protection last year. The automaker has repaid or plans to repay $9.5 billion, and the government hopes to get the remaining $40 billion back through the IPO and several follow-up sales.

    A final decision by SAIC could come in the next few days, according to the newspaper, which cited people familiar with the situation that it did not identify.

    GM and its investment advisers plan to release the stock's final price on Wednesday. The actual sale will take place on Thursday. The U.S. government and GM's other owners are selling 365 million shares of common stock. The IPO target price is between $26 and $29 per share. In addition, GM is selling 60 million preferred shares for about $50 each. The preferred shares will pay a dividend of 5.5 to 6 percent per year, a person briefed on the matter told The Associated Press Friday.

SAIC prendra une part dans GM en cas d'accord de Pékin / source
dimanche 14 novembre 2010 19h15

DETROIT, 14 novembre (Reuters) - SAIC Motor Corp 600140.SS a conclu un accord de principe pour prendre une participation dans General Motors (GM) [GM.UL], mais cet accord reste suspendu à l'approbation des autorités chinoises pour cette transaction qui devrait renforcer les liens existants entre les deux groupes, a déclaré une personne proche du dossier.

Le gouvernement chinois doit donner son feu vert avant mercredi pour un investissement de SAIC lors du retour en Bourse (IPO) de GM, a précisé la source.

Le montant de l'investissement que pourrait réaliser le constructeur automobile chinois n'est toutefois pas encore certain. Les négociations entre les deux groupes ont porté sur un montant d'un milliard de dollars (731 millions d'euros), voire moins.

GM et SAIC n'étaient pas joignables dans l'immédiat pour faire un commentaire.
