De Japanse autofabrikant Mazda zal de lancering van zijn eerste speciale elektrische auto met twee jaar uitstellen tot 2029, de investeringen in elektrische voertuigen met bijna de helft verminderen en overschakelen op hybride en in China geproduceerde ge\u00eblektrificeerde producten naarmate het veranderende Amerikaanse en Europese regelgevingsbeleid de strategie\u00ebn van de autofabrikanten bijstuurt.<\/p>\n

Maar in tegenstelling tot andere autofabrikanten die miljarden aan kosten hebben geboekt voor het veranderen van koers, zal Mazda de overstap maken met vrijwel geen waardeverminderingen of afschrijvingen, zei CEO Masahiro Moro. Mazda, een laatkomer op het gebied van volledig elektrische auto's, schakelde een versnelling hoger voordat het de fondsen volledig vastlegde.<\/p>\n

\u201cHebben we voorzieningen moeten afwaarderen of afschrijven? Dat hebben we niet,\u201d zei Moro op 12 mei bij de bekendmaking van de financi\u00eble resultaten van de Japanse autofabrikant voor het boekjaar dat eindigde op 31 maart. \u201cWe hebben de beslissing genomen voordat we begonnen. Voor EV's met batterijen zijn we altijd voorzichtig geweest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mazda Motor Corp., een zelfbenoemde \u201copzettelijke volger\u201d van EV's, liep achter op de wereldwijde rivalen bij de ontwikkeling van de technologie, deels vanwege zijn beperkte R&D-budget en deels uit voorzichtigheid. Maar doordat Mazda te laat was, kon het de miljarden dollars aan verspilde investeringen vermijden die werden ge\u00ebist door rivalen zoals Honda Motor Co<\/a>., General Motors, Ford Motor Co. en Stellantis.<\/p>\n

Pivot naar hybride, EV's uit China<\/h4>\n

Mazda is nu van plan om drie nieuwe hybrides te lanceren in de periode 2028-30, naast de hybride versie van de vernieuwde CX-5 die volgend jaar wordt verwacht. Die hybrides zullen de door Mazda ontwikkelde opzet hebben, met een superlichte Skyactiv-Z viercilindermotor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWat interne manuren betreft, verschuiven we middelen terug van werk aan elektrische voertuigen naar interne verbrandingsmotoren en hybride voertuigen,\u201d zei Moro. \u201cIn combinatie met de Skyactiv-Z vormt ons eigen hybride systeem een uitstekende combinatie met een motor die uitzonderlijke prestaties en effici\u00ebntie levert.\u201d<\/p>\n

Om aan de vraag naar EV's op bepaalde markten te voldoen, zal Mazda in de tussentijd vertrouwen op producten die in China zijn ontwikkeld met zijn lokale partner Changan Automobile Co. Het bedrijf zal deze in China gebouwde EV's exporteren naar markten zoals Europa, Australi\u00eb en Zuidoost-Azi\u00eb als onderdeel van zijn \u2018lean-asset\u2019-strategie.<\/p>\n

Mazda heeft zijn activiteiten in China al gepositioneerd als een wereldwijd exportknooppunt voor EV's, met namen als de CX-6e\u00a0crossover<\/a> en de 6e sedan<\/a> naar Europa.<\/p>\n

Mazda was van plan om zijn eerste EV op de markt te brengen in 2027. Nu start de autofabrikant uit Hiroshima de productie van zijn eerste EV op zijn vroegst in 2029. Moro noemde de versoepeling van de normen voor brandstofverbruik, de Amerikaanse invoerrechten, de bezuinigingen op wereldwijde stimuleringsmaatregelen voor EV's en de afnemende vraag.<\/p>\n

Als gevolg daarvan zal Mazda zijn investeringsplan voor elektrificatie terugbrengen tot 1,2 biljoen yen (6,5 miljard euro) tot 2030, in plaats van een eerder budget van 2,0 biljoen yen (10,8 miljard euro), aldus Moro. De grootste tegenvaller was het aantal accu's dat het bedrijf nodig denkt te hebben om aan de vraag te voldoen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hebben onze totale investering in elektrificatie opnieuw bekeken en er zijn geen bijzondere waardeverminderingsverliezen op kapitaalgoederen\u201d, aldus Moro. \u201cWat BEV's betreft, zijn we een bewuste volger geweest, die de markttrends zorgvuldig heeft gevolgd. We bepalen de timing van beslissingen voordat we verder gaan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Lean-asset\u2019 strategie<\/h4>\n

Mazda volgt een lean-asset strategie die investeringen minimaliseert en flexibiliteit maximaliseert. Het bedrijf wil nu de capaciteit hebben om 200.000 tot 250.000 EV's te produceren tegen 2030, zei Moro. Dat zal goed zijn voor ongeveer 15% van het wereldwijde volume van het bedrijf.<\/p>\n

De nieuwe doelstelling is veel lager dan Mazda's oorspronkelijke verwachting om in 2030 tussen de 25 en 40% van zijn wereldwijde verkoop uit EV's te halen. Het aantal registraties van EV's in de VS daalde vorig jaar voor het eerst in minstens tien jaar na de intrekking van het federale belastingvoordeel voor EV's, waardoor zowel oudere merken als EV-specialisten zoals Tesla werden getroffen.<\/p>\n

Daarentegen genieten hybrides van een robuuste vraag in de VS, Mazda's grootste en belangrijkste markt. De hybride variant is goed voor ongeveer 35-40% van de CX-50 verkopen.<\/p>\n

Mazda was van plan om zijn eigen EV's te bouwen in zijn Hofu assemblagefabriek in het westen van Japan voor export naar markten zoals de VS. De plannen om vlakbij in Iwakuni een fabriek voor batterijpakketten te bouwen liggen nog steeds op schema. Moro noemde het een \u201cbelangrijke troef\u201d en zei dat het tijd zal kosten om de kwaliteit te verifi\u00ebren en de productie op te starten.<\/p>\n

Verkoop en winst zullen naar verwachting weer aantrekken<\/h4>\n

Moro's beoordeling kwam op het moment dat Mazda een 72% daling van de operationele winst rapporteerde tot \u00a551,6 miljard (\u20ac279 miljoen) in het volledige fiscale jaar dat eindigde op 31 maart. Ondanks de daling bleven de activiteiten van het bedrijf in de zwarte cijfers nadat het in de eerste twee kwartalen van het fiscale jaar back-to-back operationele verliezen had geleden.<\/p>\n

Het nettoresultaat daalde met 69% tot \u00a5 35,1 miljard (\u20ac190 miljoen) ten opzichte van een jaar eerder. Maar opnieuw kwamen de resultaten terug van een verlies in de eerste helft om het jaar positief af te sluiten. De bedrijfswinst en het nettoresultaat overtroffen nipt de prognoses van Mazda, hoewel de wereldwijde verkoop achterbleef bij Mazda's doelstelling van 1,28 miljoen voertuigen.<\/p>\n

De wereldwijde verkoop daalde met 6% tot 1,22 miljoen voertuigen in de periode van 12 maanden. De leveringen daalden in elke markt, met een daling van 6% tot 582.000 in Noord-Amerika, de belangrijkste regio van het bedrijf. Het volume in Europa daalde ook met 6% tot 164.000; in China daalde het met 4% tot 71.000.<\/p>\n

In afwachting van een robuuste CX-5<\/a> lancering verwacht Mazda dat de verkoop en winst weer zullen toenemen in het huidige fiscale jaar dat eindigt op 31 maart 2027, omdat het bedrijf zijn activiteiten aanpast om de tarieven te absorberen.<\/p>\n

Moro ziet het bedrijfsresultaat verdrievoudigen tot \u00a5150,0 miljard (\u20ac811 miljoen) en het nettoresultaat meer dan verdubbelen tot \u00a590,0 miljard (\u20ac486 miljoen). Kostenbesparingen, gunstige wisselkoersen en betere verkopen zullen de stijging aanjagen en de last van stijgende grondstof- en logistieke kosten compenseren.<\/p>\n

Mazda verwacht dat het wereldwijde verkoopvolume met 8% zal toenemen tot 1,32 miljoen voertuigen. De CX-5 zal dit jaar ongeveer 350.000 eenheden leveren van zowel de uitgaande als de vernieuwde generatie.<\/p>\n
