And Brazil than, it seems that Chinese automobile export performance was far inferior to Brazil, but in fact, Brazil the independent brand development is weak, even in Brazil domestic sales can only be regarded as a "fraction", the whole Brazil industries have become international auto processing workshop. Independent brands in China in recent years has achieved good results, but if you do not remain vigilant, not breakthroughs in core technology areas, nor does it rule out the possibility of Brazil old ways possible.

Where displacement cars accounted for 45.2%,>1L of 1L and ≤ 2L displacement volume of car license plate 53.2%. And China's automobile market consumers enthusiastic in pursuit of large, luxury models differ from the boom, Brazil automobile market small cars guide consumption does very well. And the same for China in developing countries, should Brazil automobile market to get back in the present situation of small-displacement hold sway. The other hand, in the present own-brand models in China, the major vehicle just below 2.0L displacement, this also for the own-brand cars in China export Brazil provided opportunities. 2011 Brazil cars and light commercial vehicles (including domestic and imported) fuel sales Time Fuel Total 2011 Gasoline 376998 Ethanol 51 Flexible fuel 2848071 Diesel 200554

Enterprise view, traditional European and American cars are still Brazil brand for consumers the most enthusiastic. Fiat, Volkswagen and General Motors ranked Brazil car sales in former "top three", which VW in 2011 sales passenger cars 591,000, down 2.2%, sales of light commercial vehicle 113,000 units, an increase of 17.2%; Fiat sales passenger cars 597,000 units, down 2.4%, selling 157,000 light commercial vehicles, an increase of 5.5%; GM sales passenger cars 529,000 units, down 5.8%, Sales of light commercial vehicle 103,000 units, an increase of 7.3%. Brazil consumer preference for European and American cars, but also from an important aspect for the domestic car companies to enter Brazil when preparing markets for products, understand Brazil consumption characteristics of the automobile market.

In recent years, Japanese and Korean car companies in Brazil the growth of the market more quickly. However, Japanese car in 2011 in Brazil's poor performance. It is worth mentioning is that modern cars, 2010 in Brazil for 109.8% a huge growth in passenger car sales, but this year's increase reached 41.6%, although the amount is not much, but its potential is great. In addition, Brazil domestic car companies in the country's passenger car sales almost to zero, in the light vehicles market and only a Brazil Aqrale the company's sales of 36 cars. This shows that, although Brazil automobile market is not small, but there was no independent brand involved cannot take market share, more than a little feeling of desolation. Therefore, Brazil automobile market, a development status, should be wary of China automotive industry!

From the macroeconomic situation, United Kingdom think-tank Centre for Economics and business research has recently published the latest annual global economies ranked show in 2011, Brazil's economy of scale for the first time more than United Kingdom, as the world's sixth largest economy and Latin America's largest economy. 2012 Brazil economy will continue to achieve positive growth, Brazil's Central Bank survey recently revealed that economists for 2012 Brazil economic growth forecast for the 3.4%.
