It’s been an action-packed start to the new year. The first 15 days of 2021 were filled with a good dose of drama, strategy and innovation. Which is why Autocar Professional’s January 15, 2021 issue is laden with details about how companies are reworking their India strategy and new businesses developing models that promise sustainable profitability.
This 48-page issue is crisp, concise and curated with news, views and trends that can help keep you a step ahead, in terms of automotive industry news.
JV lost, JV gained
The fortnight saw two globally talked-about joint ventures pan out radically different.
Reality check for Honda and India Auto Inc
Lack of sustained consumer demand and low cash flow globally are pinching the bottomline for automakers. It’s no different in India. Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI), which is focussing on high efficiency and cost-effectiveness to tide over the current crisis, recently announced a Voluntary Retirement Scheme.
Volume buzz
However, it’s not all gloom and doom across the Indian automobile sector.
Mobility experiments
New forms of mobility are gaining traction and more companies are exploring alternatives as they look at re-energising growth in a post-Covid world.
But that is not all. This issue is brimming with the fortnight’s big news including the resounding jump in tractor sales for Mahindra and Sonalika and Bajaj Auto becoming the world’s most valuable two-wheeler company.
