Analysis of French Supporting Automobile Industry Plan in July 2012

When the current French auto industry is in trouble and faces massive layoffs, the government has recently issued a helping hand and announced the "Supporting Automobile Industry Plan." The focus is on raising the subsidy standards for environmental protection and clean vehicles and supporting industrial innovation. The French Minister of Production and Promotion, Arnold Montebao, pointed out that the plan is of strategic importance to the French economy and employment.

Supporting the automobile industry plan to increase subsidies for eco-friendly vehicles: The maximum amount of environmental subsidies for electric vehicles will be raised from the previous 5,000 euros to 7,000 euros, and the environmental subsidies for hybrid vehicles will be raised from 2,000 euros to 4,000 euros, for carbon dioxide emissions. Small cars will increase their environmental subsidies ranging from 100 Euros to 150 Euros according to their emissions; the public will be encouraged to buy eco-friendly cars, and government departments will take the lead. In the future, the proportion of electric cars or hybrid cars in government purchases should be at least 25%.

Supporting the automotive industry program involving the entire automotive industry, the French government and the Oslo Group (OSEO), which provides support loans for small and medium-sized enterprises, will provide nearly €600 million in funding to provide finance and credit to automakers, parts and accessories manufacturers. Support is mainly to help SMEs solve short-term financial difficulties and invest in the future. The plan emphasizes the need to support corporate innovation efforts and encourage technological innovation and product leadership.

Unlike the previous government's "stimulus policy," the current government has not introduced a "new-for-new" subsidy policy for cars, and has not provided low-interest loans on a large scale. Saban, the minister of labor, stated that the stimulus policy can only be implemented for a while. Once the stimulus policy is lifted, sales will fall into a cycle of falling prices. Economic Minister Moscovic said that we must have structural reform measures to ensure the sustainable development of the automotive industry. The French Prime Minister Eero pointed out that improving competitiveness is the key to revitalizing the industry. He also entrusted the former president of the National Railway Company of France, Garroe, to put forward proposals for improving competitiveness before the end of the year to take measures to “reverse” the decline of French industries, including the automotive industry. situation.

The automobile industry is one of the traditional pillar industries of the French economy. It plays an important role in economy and employment. The direct and indirect employed population absorbed accounts for about one-tenth of the total employment. Under the influence of the declining economy in Europe, shrinking automobile sales and overcapacity, the French automobile industry is in a difficult position. The data show that the number of French auto industry employment has decreased by 30% in the past 10 years, and the annual motor vehicle production in France has dropped from 3.5 million in 2005 to 2 million in 2012. The second largest automaker in Europe, the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group, recently announced a restructuring plan: It is preparing to lay off 8,000 people nationwide, and in 2014 it will close the Onaisubu Automobile Assembly Plant in the northeastern suburbs of Paris in order to reduce production costs. Turn losses into profits. This plan shocked the French opposition and also reflected the current difficulties in the auto industry. It was difficult to extricate itself again under the blow of the European sovereign debt crisis.

At the press conference held in Paris, Minister of Production and Production of France, Arnold Montpellier stated that the “Support for the Automotive Industry Project” proposed a new industrial strategy that will gradually guide the development of French automobiles. The two French manufacturing brands Citroen and Renault both welcomed the French government’s plan.
