A few do‘s and don‘ts of incentive programs Comparison of 2009 to 2020 • Incentive Programs 2009 • Recommendations for 2020 – Different programs in different European countries – Coordinated approach across all countries – Small programs proved ineffective – Significant billion-Euro size required for credible effects – Included in-stock and pre-registered vehicles – Only effective for suppliers if focused on new vehicles, while aftermarket offers complementary opportunities – Full focus on just automotive retail created a time lag for effects on production – Overstocking not as pronounced as 2020 allows for quicker transmission into new-car production – Scrappage schemes lead to over-proportionate demand for lowest-price vehicles and import production – Incentives should focus on potential average new-car buyers in order to focus on demand creation – General support of “up-to-date” vehicles without technical discrimination (France offered CO2 bonus) – Too narrow focus on e.g. electric/ plug-in vehicles would aggravate supply shortages but not support total market – Showroom traffic was greatly increased due to possible bargains after the immediate effects of the crisis – Positive secondary effects only to be expected when overall consumer confidence has stabilized Current prospects for a strong European automotive supplier industry 19 May 2020 Strategy& 11
