Summary:

Extract from the report (an incomplete part of just one of 61 brands covered): Volvo Falling sales of its aging large platform cars in Europe and North America were responsible for Volvo missing its 200x sales targets. The XC90, however, continues to be a major success, with build edging beyond xxx vehicles last year and this year’s mid-life update expected to maintain much of its momentum into 2007. The new, second generation S80 and C70 have only modest sales targets, as does the forthcoming C30. A larger volume lift towards the target of xxx units by 200x can be expected once the XC50 and S60/V70/XC70 replacements come on stream. Major expansion above this level is not believed to be possible using only existing plants – capacity at Torslanda, Uddevalla and Ghent is xxx vehicles. Large scale growth above this level must come from two sources: China where initial, low-volume S40 assembly begins in China at the end of 200x and North America, where Ford may build the second generation XC90 from late 200x. In calendar 2005, Volvo built xxxx vehicles. Future Fact: Volvo is the only Premium sector make moving all its vehicles onto one architecture. C30 Place of build: Ghent, Belgium Codename: xxxxxx Platform: xxxxxxx Segment: Lower Medium Drive: FWD/AWD Engines: 2.5 litre I5 turbo, 2.4 litre I5 turbodiesel Lifecycle: 2006-20xx Next model action: A ‘Design Concept’ version from the 2006 NAIAS will be followed by the production car at the Paris show in September. Expect only five-cylinder versions at first, with 1.8 and 2.0 litre Ix engines to be added in mid 200x. Production will start in November with build of xxxx for calendar 200x though build could be double that in 200x, particularly if Volvo decides to sell the car in the USA. Sources there believe that market could absorb at least xxx cars per year. The C30’s first and only facelift is due in 20xx. Successor: TBA S40 Place of build: Ghent, Belgium; xxxx*, China Codename: xxx Platform: xxx Segment: Upper Medium Drive: FWD/AWD Engines: 1.6 litre I4, 1.8 litre I4, 2.0 litre I4, 2.4 litre I5, 2.5 litre I5 turbo, 1.6 litre I4 turbodiesel, 2.0 litre I4 turbodiesel, 2.4 litre I5 turbodiesel Lifecycle: September 2003-20xx. Initially only front-wheel drive versions were built but the T5 AWD appeared in July 2004. The S40 1.6 and 1.6D were then added in January 2005. These entry-level variants joined the existing 2.0 litre turbodiesel and 2.4 litre I5, 2.5 litre I5 turbo and 1.8 litre I4 petrol variants. The most recent range additions were the 2.0 litre S40 2.0 and the 2.4 litre D5 in June. Assembly of up to xxx units/annum in China at Mazda and xxxx plant is expected to start in December. Production at Ghent totalled xxx units in 2005. Next model action: First facelift due in March 20xx at the Geneva show, second facelift at Paris in September 20xx. Successor: An updated Ford C1 architecture is expected to be used.
