Recognizes where exactly. It was fun. Ive learned a lot of our culture history, all their travel extremely worth a visit. The theyve come to leave their mark. Chinese makers of electric vehicles flocked to the mobility show and unit with high confidence and even higher production. Want to hear from our correspondent what their chances are on the your team mark and german exports fell again last month was the barrels in industrial slow down. Well get an expert view on how much or how little trade can help europe. Biggest economy get out of this. Im chris kolber. Welcome to the around, the munich and mobility fair, formerly known as the International Auto show openness stores on monday, despite the gathering being held in bavaria. It has a distinctive chinese field twist as a number of chinese electric vehicle. Manufacturers are in munich trying to convert, being years ahead and development into a sizable slice of European Market share. Its the european premier of b y d. The electrical Vehicle Company whos letter stand for build your dreams. Its seal you. Model is on display, like tesla. The chinese manufacturer is setting the tone b y d is the Worlds Largest manufacturer of electric cars and their chances of continued success are good proponents say cars from china are cheaper and technically superior to comparable electric cars from germany or france. So executives arrive in unit with High Expectations and confidence. So we know lots of market still belongs to the traditional gasoline cars markets. So we try to find more and more friends in this kind of new and jeep vehicles built and to work with them to promote the new Energy Technologies of n a or so per dogs. Globally. Europes Car Manufacturers are also going electric, but their transition from combustion engines to batteries will take decades. Hundreds of factories have to be converted. Thousands of workers will need retraining, and countless new models will need to be developed and the billions of euro is needed to make the switch are still being earned from gasoline and diesel cars. I think the, the computation is increasing clearly with the arrival of a lot of new brands with we equally are a challenge of brand without a electric cars with the cube. Good time is going to be by the way, also comes from china. So i think were in good shape to face the competition. Meanwhile, german manufacturers are seeking to get a leg up through lab ration. Chinese providers are going all in on electric, while european are bidding on various power sources. But in the end its the buyers will decide which Car Manufacturers have a future and which dont fall more. Lets bring in dw correspondent christy plots and across the chinese car makers trying to make quite a splash there in munich. What exactly is their plan . Right, well what theyre here to do, chris is to capitalize on the expertise theyve hone in their own home market over the last 20 years. Now, china is undoubtedly the farthest along when it comes to developing. Its in the market. Well, one and every 3 cars produce there is electric. They also have a much more developed charging grid there than in europe and in the United States. So in some ways, here in europe, legacy carmakers like mercedes who stand them, were setting out right now. They were in some ways just getting their feet wet compared to china when it comes to producing ease and china, chinese makers are hoping to cut in on some of that market. So the experience that these manufacturers have made so far on the domestic market in china, thats the reason why they are so confident that they can leave their mark in europe and grab a solid slice of market share. Right, well, as i said, i are the market then china is much farther along and its really interesting when you take a look at these players in china versus the players here in europe, for example. I mean here uh that were, the market is dominated by legacy carmakers like volkswagen, mercedes bmw. Whereas the Chinese Market has been filled by of lots of Small Companies that are maybe only 20 years old. Some times a lot of the times they got their start as Digital Companies or as battery companies. So coming from a more of a start up approach to tackling the problem. So there, hoping to bring this mentality here to quite an old market to shake things up. Now with a german or european car, make us for that matter. Have in store to compete with the chinese. Right, well, i mean uh the brands like mercedes bmw, volkswagen. They of course have the brand history of the brand identity. They have a Customer Base uh that is used to buying those cars and what we are hearing at the trade fare and the other part of munich this morning. Uh from uh, volkswagen for example, is a lot of, weve got this uh, were handling this transition. So electric vehicles, you can trust us as youve always trusted us. So thats definitely the mazda 3 hearing from these legacy carmakers, that theyre hoping that their Brand Recognition and their history will be able to see them through this massive transition. Me. Nevertheless, you mentioned these legacy car makers. Do they feel threatened by whats coming from china in this big market for electric vehicles there . Well, what i can tell you, chris is i have never heard so many german people speaking chinese as i have today. We heard it in the volkswagen speech. I heard it also just on the floor, maybe just little bits of mandarin. Uh that uh, german uh, Business People were thrown around. I also spoke with uh the ceo of cobra. Volkswagen brand. Uh, he also saying hes speaking mandarin and but actually uh on a cobra his cars are being produced in china. So what we are seeing here is some attempted synergy between the chinese and European Markets, maybe learning from each other, but also maybe keeping in a way of keeping your friends close for your enemies closer. Those are corresponding christy plots and speaking to us there from the i a munich mobility show, i guess, the backdrop of growing pressure on the car industry. Drum exports fell slightly in july, drive down by it sluggish, and the National Demand adding to glue of about europes biggest economy. Some analyst fear is on the brink of recession, exports, were down 0. 9 percent. Thats less than an offset expected, but still shows that german industry is struggling to offset the impact of Higher Energy prices since the war in ukraine. As long as you caught me in germanys top trading partner, china has also had an impact. Although x 40. 00 slightly in july after they slumped into Florida Spring invention stem, or hes an expert on a National Trade policy at the kill institute for the World Economy. Welcome to dw events, and lets take a quick look back here at our main topic of the car industry. How much is machinery like chinese electric vehicles for that matter . A threat. The german manufacturers that have made a lot of money selling the products around the world the past. Yes, we do observe that the chinese production has been becoming a competition for german manufacturers of automobiles as well as machinery. We observed for example that the importance of sector of machines, ass last competitiveness to china and this exporting less to china. And then we would expect based on the growth of the 2 economies. Experts overall uh, are down month to month. Uh, the trade with the United States and china, which are 2 of germanys most important writing partners that trade is up. What do you make of that as well . First of all, the data point that you mentioned is a monthly site data. So monthly play data tends to be somewhat volatile, but there is a growing trends within this data point as well. So German Growth of the drum and export growth has been struggling. This entire year, the United States as an import markets for as a, as a market for exports, but it has been somewhat stable. Now, what do we do observed, quite interestingly, is that china as a market for exports has been declining in importance of. So if you look at the data from 2020 a, china has been importing approximately 8 percent of all german exports. Now this value is down to from age to approximately is a 6. 2 percent of the 1st half. So the importance of china as a market for german exports has been declining, mentioned to high financing costs by the inflation slowing growth, and what economists call eroding competitiveness in germany. How much will interNational Trade be able to contribute . Determination already sputtering economic engine as well . To be honest this year, we do expect that export close is going to be a very small. Its not negative button the years to come on. Growth will still come from exports due to the might that economy is around the world are growing somewhat of faster than germany. Take china, for example. Yes, the chinese economy struggling and there is competition. But the chinese economy economies in Southeast Asia are growing fast. And this will contribute to german export quotes in the years to come. There will be some negative news in the next month, next quarters perhaps. But in the long term, there will again be some introduce for 4 or 4 german export class events of briefly if you could, if look at the immediate situation, what could be a signal for a turnaround . A stop of rate increases in the United States for example. Uh yes, absolutely. So Interest Rates claim as a rule because what terms tend to exports our machines, which are capital goods, they have to be invested so high Interest Rates tend to 1st of these durham and exports export machines, for example. So turnaround and the Interest Rates as this has whats, whats helped german exports when some of them are of the kill institute for the World Economy events. And as always, thank you. Youre welcome.
