HDFC BANK

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR WORLD

The Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was amongst the first to receive an 'in principle' approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a bank in the private sector, as part of the RBI's liberalization of the Indian Banking Industry in 1994. The bank was incorporated in August 1994 in the name of 'HDFC Bank Limited', with its registered office in Mumbai, India. HDFC Bank commenced operations as a Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995.

HDFC is India's premier housing finance company and enjoys an impeccable track record in India as well as in international markets. Since its inception in 1977, the Corporation has maintained a consistent and healthy growth in its operations to remain the market leader in mortgages. Its outstanding loan portfolio covers well over a million dwelling units. HDFC has developed significant expertise in retail mortgage loans to different market segments and also has a large corporate client base for its housing related credit facilities. With its experience in the financial markets, a strong market reputation, large shareholder base and unique consumer franchise, HDFC was ideally positioned to promote a bank in the Indian environment. HDFC Bank began operations in 1995 with a simple mission: to be a “World Class Indian Bank.” We realized that only a single minded focus on product quality and service excellence would help us get there. Today, we are proud to say that we are well on our way towards that goal.a.) Origin and development of the industry:-Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The first banks were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, both of which are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the "The Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras. The presidency banks were established under charters from the British East India Company. They merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The Reserve Bank of India formally took on the responsibility of regulating the Indian banking sector from 1935. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers.A couple of decades later, foreign banks such as Credit Lyonnais started their Calcutta operations in the 1850s. At that point of time, Calcutta was the most active trading port, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and due to which banking activity took roots there and prospered.First of all we must note the fact that these institutions have changed very much in character since their origin, and consequently nowadays perform many functions unknown to those of former times. The first banks seem to have arisen in connection with the business of exchanging money. In ancient times and especially in the middle Ages the varieties of coins were greater even than at the present day, and they were much less perfectly and honestly minted. Specialists were, therefore, required to determine their exact value and equivalence and to exchange coins of one mintage for those of another, and their BANK were in great demand at fairs and other places where merchants of different nations met forpurposes of trade. Inasmuch as they kept their boxes or chests of coins on benches or "banken," the name bankers came to be applied to them. On account of their technical knowledge and the fact that they were obliged constantly to keep on hand considerable quantities of the precious metals, this business in the early Middle Ages was usually carried on by goldsmiths, but later it was sometimes assumed by the governments of large commercial cities, as, for example, by Amsterdam in 1609, by Hamburg in 1619, and by Nurnberg in 1621. Of these latter the Bank of Amsterdam was the most important and may be regarded as typical of these early institutions.From the earliest times also, bankers have been the chief agents through which foreign exchanges have been conducted. As dealers in coin and bullion they had international

connections and a knowledge of international affairs not possessed by other merchants, and were, therefore, in a position to undertake the settlement of international accounts by means of orders drawn on bankers in other countries or other cities with whom they had regular business transactions. As keepers of other people's money they also promoted saving, and banks thus became in time the chief savings institutions of the country.

b. Growth and present status of the industry: -Currently (2009), banking in India is generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to manage volatility but without any fixed exchange rate-and this has mostly been true.With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time-especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially retail banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. One may also expect M&As, takeovers, and asset sales.In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time an investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank since the RBI announced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the private sector banks would need to be vetted by them.

Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector Bank of India in Punjab National Bank in 1993, 29 private banks (these do not have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 31 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over

53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively Introduction of many more products and facilities in the

banking sector in its reforms measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set up by his name which worked for the liberalization of banking practices.

The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being put to give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance than money. In 1995, the Brookings Institution published a paper entitled “The Transformation of the U. S. Banking Industry: What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been.”

Over the two decades 1984–2003, the structure of the U.S. banking industry indeed underwent an almost unprecedented commercial banks and savings institutions and by a growing concentration of industry assets among a few dozen extremely large financial institutions. This is not news. As mentioned above, the decline in the number of banking organizations has been ongoing for more than two decades and has been well documented in the literature.3 Nevertheless, a brief overview will serve to clarify both the scope of the decline and the increasing concentration of assets among the nation’s largest banking organizations

At year-end 1984, there were 15,084 banking and thrift organizations (defined as commercial bank and thrift holding companies, independent banks, and independent thrifts). By year-end 2003, that number had fallen to 7,842—a decline of almost 48 percent (figure 1). Distributed by size, nearly all the decline occurred in the community bank sector (organizations with less than $1 billion in assets in 2002 dollars),

and especially among the smallest size group (less than $100 million in assets in 2002 dollars). Yet the community banking sector still accounts for 94 percent of banking organization

The Bank’s staffing needs continued to increase during the year particularly in the retail banking businesses in line with the business growth. Total number of employees increased from 14878 as of March31,2006 to 21477 as of March 31, 2007. The Bank continues to focus on training its employees on a continuing basis, both on the job and through training programs conducted by internal and external faculty.

The Bank has consistently believed that broader employee ownership motivation. The Bank’s employee stock option scheme so far covers around 9000 employees.

It is more important for every organization to know about from where and where to spent money. And balanced between these two things rupee earned and rupee spent are required for smooth running of business and financial soundness. This type of watch can control and eliminate the unnecessary spending of business. In his diagram it includes both things from where Bank earned Rupee and where to spend.

The combined entity would have a nationwide network of 1167 branches; a strong deposit base of around Rs. 1,22,000 crores and net advances of around Rs. 89,000 crores. The balance sheet size of the combined entity would be over Rs. 1,63,000 crores.On March 27, 2008, the shareholders of the Bank accorded their consent to a scheme of amalgamation of Centurion Bank of Punjab Limited with HDFC Bank Limited. The shareholders of the Bank approved the issuance of one equity share of Rs. 10/- each of HDFC Bank Limited for every 29 equity shares of Re. 1/- each held in Centurion Bank of Punjab Limited. This is subject to receipt of Approvals from the Reserve Bank of India, stock exchanges and other requisite statutory and regulatory authorities. The shareholders also accorded their consent to issue equity shares and/or warrants convertible into equity shares at the rate of Rs. 1,530.13 each to HDFC Limited and/or other promoter group companies on preferential basis, subject to final regulatory approvals in this regard. The

Shareholders of the Bank have also approved an increase in the authorized capital from Rs.450 crores to Rs.550 crores.

Promoted in 1995 by Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC), India's leading housing finance company, HDFC Bank is one of India's premier banks providing a wide range of financial products and services to its over 11 million customers across hundreds of Indian cities using multiple distribution channels including a pan-India network of branches, A TMs, phone banking, net banking and mobile banking. Within a relatively short span of time, the bank has emerged as a leading player in retail banking, wholesale banking, and treasury opera tions, its three principal business segments.

The bank's competitive strength clearly lies in the use of technology and the ability to deliver world-class service with rapid response time.

Over the last 13 years, the bank has successfully gained market share in its target customer franchises while maintaining healthy profitability and asset quality.

As on March 31, 2008, the Bank had a network of 761 branches and 1,977 ATMs in 327 cities. For the year ended March 31, 2008, the Bank reported a net profit of INR 15.90 billion (Rs. 1590.2 crore), up 39.3%, over the corresponding year ended March 31, 2007.

As of March 31, 2008 total deposits were INR 1007.69 billion, (Rs. 100,769 crore) up 47.5% over the corresponding year ended March 31, 2007. Total balance sheet size too grew by 46.0% to INR

1,331.77 billion (133177 crore). Leading Indian and international Publications have recognized the bank for its performance and quality.

Centurion Bank of Punjab is one of the leading new generation private sector banks in India. The bank serves individual consumers, small and medium businesses and large corporations with a full range of financial products and services for investing, lending and advice on financial planning. The bank offers its customers an array of wealth management products such as mutual funds, life and general insurance and has established a leadership 'position'. The bank is also a strong player in foreign exchange services, personal loans, mortgages and agricultural loans.

Additionally the bank offers a full suite of NRI banking products to Overseas Indians. On 29th August 2007, Centurion Bank of Punjab merged with Lord Krishna Bank (LKB), post obtaining all requisite statutory and regulatory approvals. This merger has further strengthened the geographical reach of the Bank in major towns and cities across the country, especially in the State of Kerala, in addition to its existing dominance in the northern part of the country. Centurion Bank of Punjab now operates on a strong nationwide franchise

of 404 branches and 452 A TMs in 190 locations across the country, supported by employee base of over 7,500 employees.

In addition to being listed on the major Indian stock exchanges, the Bank’s shares are also listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

c. Future of the industry:-

The burden of reporting and other regulatory requirements will fall heavily and disproportionately on small banks unless remedial action is taken. Further advances in information technology will permit the development of new products, BANK, and risk-management techniques but may also pose important competitive and supervisory issues. Nonbank entities will continue to

offer bank-like products in competition with banks, raising anew the question of whether banks are still “special” and, more fundamentally ,whether banks are sufficiently different from nonblank firms to justify the maintenance of a safety net for banks. It is useful, therefore, to try to chart the course of the banking industry in the next five to ten years and to consider what policy issues the industry and regulators will face. The authors of this study do not pretend to be clairvoyant. They are mindful of the many financial predictions that were once offered with confidence but turned out to be wrong or premature. This study is perhaps best described as an exercise in strategic thinking. Its approach is to analyze what has happened in the recent past, consider in detail reasons for expecting recent trends to continue or to change, and draw the consequences for bank and regulatory policies. As always, uncertainties abound, and events that may now appear fairly improbable may in fact shape the future. This paper closeswith a discussion of a number of such possible events. The futureof-banking study addresses three broad questions:

1. What changes in the environment facing banking can be expected in the next five to ten years?2. What are the prospects for different sectors of the banking industry in this anticipated environment? Because the banking industry is not monolithic and different segments of the industry have, to some degree, different opportunities and vulnerabilities, the study considers separately the prospects for large, complex banking organizations; regional and other midsize banks; community banks; and limited-purpose banks.3. What policy issues are the industry and regulators likely to face in the years ahead? Separate consideration is given to

State Bank of India-Company Profile

The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth

century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years

later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809). A

unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of

Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the

Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their

amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921.

Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either as a

result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European

commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernise India's

economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled from similar developments

in Europe and England, and was influenced by changes occurring in the structure of both

the local trading environment and those in the relations of the Indian economy to the

economy of Europe and the global economic framework.

Establishment

The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability, joint-stock

banking in India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the decision to allow the

Bank of Bengal to issue notes, which would be accepted for payment of public revenues

within a restricted geographical area. This right of note issue was very valuable not only for

the Bank of Bengal but also its two siblings, the Banks of Bombay and Madras. It meant an

accretion to the capital of the banks, a capital on which the proprietors did not have to pay

any interest. The concept of deposit banking was also an innovation because the practice of

accepting money for safekeeping (and in some cases, even investment on behalf of the

clients) by the indigenous bankers had not spread as a general habit in most parts of India.

But, for a long time, and especially upto the time that the three presidency banks had a right

of note issue, bank notes and government balances made up the bulk of the investible

resources of the banks.

The three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time.

Each charter provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately subscribed and

the rest owned by the provincial government. The members of the board of directors, which

managed the affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary directors representing the large

European managing agency houses in India. The rest were government nominees,

invariably civil servants, one of whom was elected as the president of the board.

Business

The business of the banks was initially confined to discounting of bills of exchange or other

negotiable private securities, keeping cash accounts and receiving deposits and issuing and

circulating cash notes. Loans were restricted to Rs.one lakh and the period of

accommodation confined to three months only. The security for such loans was public

securities, commonly called Company's Paper, bullion, treasure, plate, jewels, or goods 'not

of a perishable nature' and no interest could be charged beyond a rate of twelve per cent.

Loans against goods like opium, indigo, salt woollens, cotton, cotton piece goods, mule

twist and silk goods were also granted but such finance by way of cash credits gained

momentum only from the third decade of the nineteenth century. All commodities,

including tea, sugar and jute, which began to be financed later, were either pledged or

hypothecated to the bank. Demand promissory notes were signed by the borrower in favour

of the guarantor, which was in turn endorsed to the bank. Lending against shares of the

banks or on the mortgage of houses, land or other real property was, however, forbidden.

Indians were the principal borrowers against deposit of Company's paper, while the

business of discounts on private as well as salary bills was almost the exclusive monopoly

of individuals Europeans and their partnership firms. But the main function of the three

banks, as far as the government was concerned, was to help the latter raise loans from time

to time and also provide a degree of stability to the prices of government securities.

Major change in the conditions

A major change in the conditions of operation of the Banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras

occurred after 1860. With the passing of the Paper Currency Act of 1861, the right of note

issue of the presidency banks was abolished and the Government of India assumed from 1

March 1862 the sole power of issuing paper currency within British India. The task of

management and circulation of the new currency notes was conferred on the presidency

banks and the Government undertook to transfer the Treasury balances to the banks at

places where the banks would open branches. None of the three banks had till then any

branches (except the sole attempt and that too a short-lived one by the Bank of Bengal at

Mirzapore in 1839) although the charters had given them such authority. But as soon as the

three presidency bands were assured of the free use of government Treasury balances at

places where they would open branches, they embarked on branch expansion at a rapid

pace. By 1876, the branches, agencies and sub agencies of the three presidency banks

covered most of the major parts and many of the inland trade centres in India. While the

Bank of Bengal had eighteen branches including its head office, seasonal branches and sub

agencies, the Banks of Bombay and Madras had fifteen each.

Presidency Banks Act

The presidency Banks Act, which came into operation on 1 May 1876, brought the three

presidency banks under a common statute with similar restrictions on business. The

proprietary connection of the Government was, however, terminated, though the banks

continued to hold charge of the public debt offices in the three presidency towns, and the

custody of a part of the government balances. The Act also stipulated the creation of

Reserve Treasuries at Calcutta, Bombay and Madras into which sums above the specified

minimum balances promised to the presidency banks at only their head offices were to be

lodged. The Government could lend to the presidency banks from such Reserve Treasuries

but the latter could look upon them more as a favour than as a right.

The decision of the Government to keep the surplus balances in Reserve Treasuries outside

the normal control of the presidency banks and the connected decision not to guarantee

minimum government balances at new places where branches were to be opened effectively

checked the growth of new branches after 1876. The pace of expansion witnessed in the

previous decade fell sharply although, in the case of the Bank of Madras, it continued on a

modest scale as the profits of that bank were mainly derived from trade dispersed among a

number of port towns and inland centres of the presidency.

India witnessed rapid commercialisation in the last quarter of the nineteenth century as its

railway network expanded to cover all the major regions of the country. New irrigation

networks in Madras, Punjab and Sind accelerated the process of conversion of subsistence

crops into cash crops, a portion of which found its way into the foreign markets. Tea and

coffee plantations transformed large areas of the eastern Terais, the hills of Assam and the

Nilgiris into regions of estate agriculture par excellence. All these resulted in the expansion

of India's international trade more than six-fold. The three presidency banks were both

beneficiaries and promoters of this commercialisation process as they became involved in

the financing of practically every trading, manufacturing and mining activity in the sub-

continent. While the Banks of Bengal and Bombay were engaged in the financing of large

modern manufacturing industries, the Bank of Madras went into the financing of large

modern manufacturing industries, the Bank of Madras went into the financing of small-

scale industries in a way which had no parallel elsewhere. But the three banks were

rigorously excluded from any business involving foreign exchange. Not only was such

business considered risky for these banks, which held government deposits, it was also

feared that these banks enjoying government patronage would offer unfair competition to

the exchange banks which had by then arrived in India. This exclusion continued till the

creation of the Reserve Bank of India in 1935.

Presidency Banks of Bengal

The presidency Banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras with their 70 branches were

merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India. The triad had been transformed into a

monolith and a giant among Indian commercial banks had emerged. The new bank took

on the triple role of a commercial bank, a banker's bank and a banker to the government.

But this creation was preceded by years of deliberations on the need for a 'State Bank of

India'. What eventually emerged was a 'half-way house' combining the functions of a

commercial bank and a quasi-central bank.

The establishment of the Reserve Bank of India as the central bank of the country in 1935

ended the quasi-central banking role of the Imperial Bank. The latter ceased to be bankers

to the Government of India and instead became agent of the Reserve Bank for the

transaction of government business at centres at which the central bank was not

established. But it continued to maintain currency chests and small coin depots and

operate the remittance facilities scheme for other banks and the public on terms stipulated

by the Reserve Bank. It also acted as a bankers' bank by holding their surplus cash and

granting them advances against authorised securities. The management of the bank

clearing houses also continued with it at many places where the Reserve Bank did not

have offices. The bank was also the biggest tenderer at the Treasury bill auctions

conducted by the Reserve Bank on behalf of the Government.

The establishment of the Reserve Bank simultaneously saw important amendments being

made to the constitution of the Imperial Bank converting it into a purely commercial

bank. The earlier restrictions on its business were removed and the bank was permitted to

undertake foreign.

Imperial Bank

The Imperial Bank during the three and a half decades of its existence recorded an

impressive growth in terms of offices, reserves, deposits, investments and advances, the

increases in some cases amounting to more than six-fold. The financial status and security

inherited from its forerunners no doubt provided a firm and durable platform. But the

lofty traditions of banking which the Imperial Bank consistently maintained and the high

standard of integrity it observed in its operations inspired confidence in its depositors that

no other bank in India could perhaps then equal. All these enabled the Imperial Bank to

acquire a pre-eminent position in the Indian banking industry and also secure a vital place

in the country's economic life.

Stamp of Imperial Bank of India

When India attained freedom, the Imperial Bank had a capital base (including reserves) of

Rs.11.85 crores, deposits and advances of Rs.275.14 crores and Rs.72.94 crores

respectively and a network of 172 branches and more than 200 sub offices extending all

over the country.

First Five Year Plan

In 1951, when the First Five Year Plan was launched, the development of rural India was

given the highest priority. The commercial banks of the country including the Imperial

Bank of India had till then confined their operations to the urban sector and were not

equipped to respond to the emergent needs of economic regeneration of the rural areas. In

order, therefore, to serve the economy in general and the rural sector in particular, the All

India Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the creation of a state-partnered and

state-sponsored bank by taking over the Imperial Bank of India, and integrating with it,

the former state-owned or state-associate banks. An act was accordingly passed in

Parliament in May 1955 and the State Bank of India was constituted on 1 July 1955. More

than a quarter of the resources of the Indian banking system thus passed under the direct

control of the State. Later, the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in

1959, enabling the State Bank of India to take over eight former State-associated banks as

its subsidiaries (later named Associates).

The State Bank of India was thus born with a new sense of social purpose aided by the

480 offices comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head Offices inherited from

the Imperial Bank. The concept of banking as mere repositories of the community's

savings and lenders to creditworthy parties was soon to give way to the concept of

purposeful banking subserving the growing and diversified financial needs of planned

economic development. The State Bank of India was destined to act as the pacesetter in

this respect and lead the Indian banking system into the exciting field of national

development.

HISTORY

Bank of China (BOC) started its operations in Shanghai in 1912. Later in 1928, it was designated as China's foreign exchange bank. A year later, BOC London Agency was established, which was the first overseas branch of any Chinese bank. Over the next two decades, BOC built a global network comprising 34 overseas branches, which enhanced its foreign trade capabilities.

With the People's Republic of China becoming a reality in 1949, BOC was brought under government control.

In 1984, BOC successfully issued Samurai bonds in Japan. This was the first overseas bond issue by modern China.

During 1993, China initiated a process of foreign exchange system reform. BOC played a critical role in the unification of exchange rates, foreign exchange purchases and sales, the incorporation of foreign-funded enterprises into the foreign exchange sales system. A year later, BOC embarked on a transformation from a specialized bank to a state-owned commercial bank.

BOC become the third note issuing bank in Hong Kong in 1994 by issuing its BOC notes denoted in Hong Kong Dollars. Late in 1995, BOC issued Macau Pataca notes. The issuing of both Hong Kong Dollar and Macau Pataca notes helped stabilize the financial markets of Hong Kong and Macau.

BOC International Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the bank specializing in investment banking, was incorporated in 1998 in Hong Kong. Three years later, Bank of China (Hong Kong) was incorporated as a result of the merger of 10 member banks of the former BOC Group, which not only marked a new level of BOC's operations in Hong Kong, but also a critical move forward for the restructuring of BOC.

In 2002, BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. A year later, Bank of China (Hong Kong) was appointed as the clearing bank for personal CNY business in Hong Kong.

During 2004, BOC and Volvo (China) Investment Company signed a cooperation agreement, according to which the bank was to provide Volvo (China) and its branch and subsidiary companies with credit support in short and long term loans, project loans, acceptance of bills, guarantees; and letters of credit, among others. In addition, BOC also offered financial services including cash management, settlement of foreign exchange, receivables, banker's acceptance, settlement and sales of forward exchange, and other financial services.

The bank opened a representative office in Bahrain in 2004. This was the first venture in the Middle East by a Chinese bank. Later in the same year, after receiving approval from the Chinese Government, the bank officially changed its name to Bank of China.

The company entered into a strategic agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in 2005. The RBS, as a part of the deal, acquired a 10% stake in the company at a cost of $3.1 billion in 2005. The company received approvals from regulatory authorities in 2005 for establishment of Jiangsu branch of BOC Insurance making it the first branch of BOC Insurance and the first property insurance company in Jiangsu.

In 2006, BOC and Jilin Social Insurance Company signed a fund custody agreement, strengthening their cooperative relationship. During the same year, BOC signed an all-round cooperation agreement with Beijing Rural Commercial Bank. Bank of China opened the first Olympic-licensed products outlet in Macau and also launched Export Quanyida, a new product for trade financing in 2006.

BOC signed a strategic cooperation agreement with State Development & Investment Corp in 2006. BOC became the first bank to be approved for conducting Renminbi and foreign currency swap transaction in inter-bank foreign exchange market in 2006. BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) signed an agreement with BOC Group Insurance Company in 2006 to purchase 51% of the shares of BOC Group Life Insurance Company. The same year, Bank of China developed Import Huilida, a new product for trade financing. The company came out with an initial public offering in 2006 and was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In 2006, Bank of China became the first bank in China to be dual-listed in both the international and domestic capital markets. At the end of 2006, BOC acquired Singapore Aircraft Leasing Enterprise, broadening financial services platform.

In 2007, Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited entered a product and service agreement with Moody's KMV, which will enable BOC to implement a more effective internal credit rating system and facilitate its development of credit models according to Basel II requirements. BOC bought 83.5% stake in a fund management affiliate from its BOC International Holdings Ltd. and BOC International (China) Ltd. units, in January 2008.

In July 2008, BOC bought 30% stake in Heritage Fund Management SA of Switzerland. In March 2009, SOHO China Ltd entered into a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with Bank of China, Beijing Branch pursuant to which BOC Beijing and the company formed a long-term strategic cooperation relationship for a period of five years. In April 2009, Financial One Corp. announced that its wholly owned subsidiary in China, Chailease International Finance Corporation (CIFC), signed a strategic alliance agreement with Bank of China. The agreement is aimed to create a new platform to serve the Taiwanese and Chinese SMEs (Small and medium-sized enterprises) in China. In June 2009, China National Building Material Co.

SWOT ANALYSIS

Bank of China (BOC) is in the business of commercial banking, including corporate and retail banking, treasury business and financial institutions banking. The bank leverages its strong domestic market position to attain economies of scale and gain a competitive advantage. However, the slow down of the Chinese economy may affect the profitability.

Strengths

Deep branch banking presence enabling strong domestic market position

Bank of China Limited is one of China’s largest state-controlled commercial banks. The bank's distribution strength is evident from the number of branches and outlets. The number of branches and outlets including the 9,983 outlets in Chinese Mainland was 10,789 at the end of 2008. The bank’s strong branch banking presence enables it to sustain its core banking activities (deposit taking and traditional lending). Moreover, it enables the bank to increase its market share. For instance, at the end of 2008, the bank’s market share of RMB-denominated corporate loans stood at 6.54%, an increase of 0.29 percentage point from the previous year-end. In 2008, the bank’s market share of foreign currency-denominated corporate loans continued to lead the market, reaching 19.45%. Strong domestic market position enables the bank to sustain repeat business volumes.

Weaknesses

Declining insurance premium collection

The bank’s insurance operations show weakness in premium collection. Net life insurance premium income declined from CNY8, 197 million ($1,181.6 million) in 2007 to CNY5,242 million ($755.6 million) in 2008. Continued weakness in premium collection could pose asset-liability mismatch for the insurance operations.

Opportunities

Business opportunities with SME

The Bank is exploring business opportunities with small and medium sized enterprises (“SME”). It has launched new financial services for SME customers in 11 cities located in the “Yangtse River Delta” area. With an emphasis on risk management and efficiency enhancement, BOC has set up operational models for SME development. It has streamlined business flows and developed customer service efficiency, and launched a series of competitive and diversified products in the year which has doubled the loan balance for SMEs. SME constitutes more than 99.6 percent of the total number of companies in China. Additionally, SMEs have also accounted for 70 percent of the nation’s import and export trade volume. Some Chinese banks, especially city commercial banks, consider SMEs as their target clients. More and more foreign banks in China including BOC are beginning to realize the great opportunities available through offering financing to SMEs.

Increasing demand for insurance in China

For the last few years, demand for both life and non-life insurance has been increasing in China.

Threats

Slowdown of Chinese economy likely to affect profitability

In FY2008, the financial crisis spread from developed countries to emerging market economies and developing countries and from financial industry to the real economy. As a result global economy slowed to a considerable extent. The US, Euro Zone and Japan have been suffering economic recession. Against an extremely uncertain background, IMF predicted a 1.3% decline in global economic activity for 2009. The People's Republic of China, which is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and has grown at an average 9.9% a year, since free market reforms in

COMPANY VIEW

A statement by Xiao Gang, Chairman of Bank of China Limited is given below. The statement has been taken from the company’s 2008 annual report.

I am delighted to report to all our shareholders and the public our 2008 business results. The Group achieved a profit attributable to shareholders of the Bank for the year of RMB64.36 billion, a year-on-year increase of 14.42%. Earnings per share (EPS) also recorded an increase of RMB0.03 to RMB0.25. Moreover, the ratio of identified impaired loans to gross loans decreased from 3.17% to 2.76%. At the same time, our total market capitalisation reached RMB669.997 billion at the end of 2008, making Bank of China the sixth largest listed bank in the world. The Board of Directors has proposed a cash dividend of RMB0. 13 per share for 2008 for approval at the Annual General Meeting on 18 June 2009. 2008 saw great transformation and turbulence in the operating environment for banks.

The global financial crisis, triggered by the U.S. subprime crisis, worsened as the year progressed. The impact of this crisis also proliferated quickly from the developed countries to the emerging markets and developing countries, and from the financial sector to the real economy, greatly affecting the global economy. While China’s economy maintained stable growth, it is facing heightened The Group achieved a profit attributable to shareholders of the Bank for the year of RMB64.36 billion, a year-on-year increase of 14.42%. Earnings per share (EPS) also recorded an increase of RMB0.03 to RMB0.25. Moreover, the ratio of identified impaired loans to gross loans decreased from 3.17% to 2.76% challenges as a result of natural disasters and the global financial crisis.

The Bank responded with a scientific approach that revolved around our strategic goal of becoming a leading international bank. We accelerated the transformation of our service model and optimized our business structure. We also continued to strengthen our risk management and internal control. Moreover, we enhanced our infrastructure and product innovation to increase our overall profitability and competitiveness, and to ensure rapid and sustained growth of all major lines of business.

We improved our market share and key operating indicators for our corporate banking business. We also made significant breakthroughs in the marketing of key projects and further improved the quality of our customer base. In personal banking business, we accelerated the development of a new service model and profitability model that focus on middle and high-end customers. This delivered a rapid increase in both the number of target customers and the corresponding financial assets. In our financial markets business, the Bank maintained its leading position in various areas, including spot and forward foreign exchange and domestic gold transactions. In addition, the Bank made progress in its integration of domestic and overseas operations and further expanded its platform for diversified operations. As the sole banking partner of the Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, employees of the Bank provided excellent financial services during the Games with zero error and zero customer complaint. Their dedication, professionalism and performance were widely

acclaimed by both domestic and foreign customers. As a result, our franchise and international reputation and our competitive advantage were further enhanced, improving the foundation for our future growth and development. As well as generating outstanding financial results, the Bank also

continued to improve its corporate governance with clear accountability, authority and proper checks and balances. There were improvements in our decision-making, execution and supervision mechanisms. The Bank convened its Annual General Meeting through videoconference in two different locations for the first time in its history. The Work Rules of Independent Directors of Bank of China Limited was established and our information disclosure was enhanced. We understand the underlying drivers of the disposal of shareholdings by our strategic investors, UBS AG and RBS Group, on 31 December 2008 and 14 January 2009 respectively. In the past three years, the Bank was involved with our strategic investors in 87 projects covering more than 40 areas, including corporate governance, risk management, corporate banking and personal banking. The scope and extent of cooperation were beyond the core agreements, and the results exceeded our original expectations. These initiatives had a positive impact on our corporate governance, business growth and enhanced our competitiveness.

Looking ahead to 2009, the global financial crisis may continue to worsen, and cause the global economy to remain sluggish, adding greater downward pressure. In response to the current situation, the government unveiled a series of key measures to expand domestic demand, promote restructuring and maintain growth. These are expected to promote China’s continued rapid and stable development. From an overall perspective, the key strategic opportunities for the development of the banking industry in China are not expected to fundamentally change. The opportunities faced by the banks still outnumber challenges in 2009. In view of the opportunities and challenges, the Bank will continue its strategic development plan by taking a systematic approach to capitalize on opportunities while facing challenges. We will focus on expansion of our scale and accelerate the restructuring of our Bank’s service and growth models. Moreover, we will further enhance our risk management and internal control while further developing our overseas businesses and promoting infrastructure development and innovation. It is also our plan to strengthen our business structure and continue the reform of our human resources management. We will build on our franchise and improve our corporate culture so as to enhance our competitiveness, profitability and the sustainability of development. Our efforts will facilitate the development of the Bank’s various lines of business and enable the Bank to continue to achieve milestones in line with the Bank’s successful development in the last one hundred years. On a final note, I would like to express my deep appreciation to the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Supervisors for their significant contributions. I also wish to express my gratitude to our shareholders and the public for their kind support, and to the management and staff across the globe for their diligence. It is due to their dedicated efforts that Bank of China has sustained growth in a year characterized by challenges.

HISTORY

Konosuke Matsushita established Matsushita Electric Industrial (Matsushita) in 1918, as Matsushita Electric Housewares Manufacturing Works. In the same year, the company launched its first product electric attachment plug. For the first few years, the company engaged in making products like bicycle lamps, before moving on to the electric iron in 1927, and radio and dry cell battery production in the 1930s.

The company set up an export trading department to carry out research and market development in 1932. Three years later, Matsushita Electric Industrial was incorporated. In 1939, the company established Matsushita Dry Battery's Shanghai factory to produce dry batteries for communications.

The company entered into a technical cooperation agreement with Dutch manufacturer Philips in 1952 and produced its first black and white TV and moved into the consumer goods market. The company established Matsushita Electric Corporation of America in 1959. Two years later, the company established National Thai. In 1962, the company established National Panasonic, a sales company in Europe. The company's first video cassette recorder was marketed in 1964, and eventually its subsidiary, JVC developed the vertical helical scan (VHS) format that triumphed over rival Sony's Betamax technology. In 1971, Matsushita Electric was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In the following year, the company established Matsushita Electric Singapore.

The company acquired Motorola TV Division; and established Quasar Company in 1974. Two years later, the company established a research and development company Microelectronics Technology in the US. Matsushita established Panasonic Finance in the US in 1985. Three years later, Matsushita Electric Trading merged with Matsushita Electric Industrial. In 1990, the company acquired MCA, a diversified international entertainment conglomerate engaged in the production and distribution of theatrical, television and home video products. By 1995, the company marketed its first consumer digital video camera.

The company closed its North American semiconductor operations in late 1998 due to poor performance and acquired a stake in Mobile Broadcasting to introduce digital televisions. In 1999, the company bought a 9% stake in Symbian, a consortium created by several companies including Psion, Nokia and Motorola.

Matsushita liquidated its mobile phone company in the UK and absorbed a number of its wholly owned subsidiaries during 2001. Matsushita divided and transferred its LCD business and all other related businesses to Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology, the company's joint venture with Toshiba, during 2002

Panasonic Corporation History


In the following month, Panasonic and SANYO Electric entered into the Capital and Business Alliance Agreement. As per the agreement, Panasonic and SANYO will form a close alliance in business with the prospect of organizational restructurings of both companies.

In April 2009, Panasonic sold its stake in Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology (a joint venture with Toshiba that develops, manufactures and sells liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light emitting displays) to Toshiba. In June 2009, Panasonic develops 85-inch Full HD Plasma Display that is outfitted with many convenient features for professional uses.

COMPANY VIEW

A statement by Kunio Nakamura, Chairman and Fumio Ohtsubo, President of the board of Panasonic is given below. The statement has been taken from the company’s 2009 annual report.

Conditions in the electronics industry in fiscal 2009, the year ended March 31, 2009, remained extremely severe both in Japan and overseas, as the U.S. financial crisis spread throughout the world. From October 2008, in particular, the effects of the much greater-than-expected appreciation of the yen, global downturn in consumer spending and ever-intensified price competition adversely affected the industry.

Panasonic’s business environment is being driven by changes in the structure of markets, namely the expansion of emerging markets and a shift in demand to lower-priced products, at the same time as the world is experiencing a recession and shrinking demand. It is crucial in a climate like this to speedily implement bold reforms in preparation for future growth. With this in mind, we are going all out to do what we must to overcome these difficult times. We are integrating and eliminating

manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas, withdrawing from unprofitable businesses, recognizing impairment losses on fixed assets, reassigning and downsizing workforce and taking other forthright actions.

In October 2008, we changed our name to Panasonic and unified our corporate brands worldwide under the Panasonic brand. This move has set the stage for harnessing all of our efforts and successes to drive growth in years ahead.

When Konosuke Matsushita founded the Company he set forth the mission of contributing to the progress and development of society through business activities. This unwavering management philosophy still serves as the cornerstone for our ongoing efforts to develop wide-range businesses connected with people’s lives—in diverse fields extending from consumer businesses, such as digital consumer electronics and home appliances to devices, automotive electronics, and systems and solutions. In all these businesses, under the name of Panasonic, we will fully exert the collective strengths of the Group, as we seek to build brand value and raise our corporate value further. Thank you for your continued sup

Siemens Aktiengesellschaft Business Description

Halske by Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske. In 1853, Siemens and Halske built a telegraph network in Russia, which stretched from Finland to the Crimea, covering a distance of around 10,000 kilometers. The group was contracted by the Russian government to provide maintenance services. In 1855, Werner von Siemens established a subsidiary in St Petersburg. In 1858, the subsidiary Siemens, Halske & Co (renamed Siemens Brothers in 1865) was set up in the UK.

Werner von Siemens discovered the dynamo-electric principle in 1866, which revolutionized the electricity transmission, by making the transmission economical. Werner von Siemens built a telegraph line between London and Kolkata, India, in 1870. This project was followed by the start of a transatlantic telegraph cable from Ireland to the US, in 1874. The ownership of the group changed from Werner von Siemens to his brother Carl and his sons Arnold and Wilhelm. The group was converted into a limited group, in 1890.

In the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the group followed inorganic growth strategy and acquired many firms around the globe. During the First World War, most of its establishments were destroyed and the group split into several smaller companies in the post war period. The group went through a similar experience during the Second World War. It again re-acquired its businesses in the post war period.

Siemens & Halske, Siemens-Schuckertwerke, and Siemens-Reiniger-Werke merged to form Siemens, in 1966. This merger enabled the convergence of power and communications engineering. Later the group formed a joint venture with Bosch. The production of large-scale integrated circuits began, in 1973. The group built the first 64 kilobyte memory chip, in 1981.

Siemens was comprehensively reorganized, in 1990. The group's large business units were divided into smaller entities to compete effectively in the global marketplace. Siemens continued to realign its business portfolio to better serve the technology sector. In 1990, the group created the largest European group in the computer industry, Siemens-Nixdorf Informationssysteme (SNI). Siemens was able to further enhance its place in the IT sector through the acquisition of Plessey, in the UK, in 1991; and Rolm, in the US, in 1992. In the US, Siemens also acquired Westinghouse's fossil power plant activities, in 1998. In an effort to build a stronger position in the US, the world's largest market for electrical and electronic products, Siemens was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in 2001.

In 2002, Siemens sold Unisphere Networks to Juniper Networks and several other business activities to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR). Siemens concluded the sale of its life support systems business to Getinge of Sweden, in 2003. In the same year, the group acquired Cycos and followed it up with the acquisition of the flow division of Danfoss and the acquisition of Oxford Instruments' stake in

COMPANY VIEW

A statement by Peter Loscher, President and Chief Executive Officer at Siemens, is given below. The statement has been taken from the company’s annual report for FY2009.

Dear Shareholders,

In fiscal 2009, the financial markets and the entire global economy plummeted, hit by the worst crisis of the post-war era. Confidence in the markets was profoundly shaken, and the fallout has been dramatic. Although there are now signs that the situation is gradually stabilizing, it’s still too early to say when the global economy will be back on its feet.

One thing is clear: the current crisis has transformed the world and the environment in which we do business. The role of the state, in particular, has changed. I have great admiration for the decisiveness that governments and parliaments all over the world exhibited in preventing the situation from worsening. The stimulus programs they launched worldwide kept markets from collapsing. Applying the lessons learned from the crisis, governments have now begun to revise the regulatory framework in which markets operate. However, there is a real danger that the enhanced role of the state will open the door to isolationism and protectionism. We don’t yet know to what extent policymakers will be able to avoid this pitfall.

One thing we’ve learned from the crisis is that a quick fix is no substitute for sustainable action. This apparently simple truth was ignored too often by too many players. Today, it’s obvious: when sustainability is disregarded, responsibility falls by the wayside, trust is destroyed, economies are weakened and people suffer.

Siemens stands for sustainability. Long before sustainability became a household word, our company’s founder, Werner von Siemens, announced: “I won’t sell the future of my company for a quick profit.” This has been the guiding principle at our Company ever since its founding. And it’s a legacy we feel bound to uphold. The success of our long-term approach has also gained recognition outside the Company. We’re very pleased to have captured the No. 1 position in the Diversified Industrials sector of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index – the most widely used yardstick for sustainable business activity.

We’re relieved that the German and U.S. authorities investigating the allegations of bribery against Siemens have concluded their proceedings, and we’re proud that the Company is now an international benchmark in the area of compliance. For us, these developments are both a confirmation of our efforts and an incentive to remain vigilant, professional and highly focused in all our activities.

7.5 billion, substantially exceeded the fiscal 2008 figure. At E2.5 billion, net income from continuing activities was 32 percent higher than for fiscal 2008, while undiluted earnings per share climbed 36 percent, to E2.60.

A large part of this success is attributable to reductions in our sales, general and administrative (SG&A) costs. A year earlier than planned, we’ve already reached our target of slashing these costs by E1.2 billion compared to fiscal 2007.

Poised for the challenges ahead

As we embark on fiscal 2010, we’re well-equipped to master the challenges that lie ahead. First of all, we’ll have to continue proving our mettle in an environment that remains difficult. As a company geared primarily to the later stages of the business cycle, we’ve been hit relatively late by the recession. This, in turn, means that some of our long-cycle businesses are not likely to feel the repercussions of the crisis until fiscal 2010. Nevertheless, we’re convinced that government stimulus programs will help offset a decline in business with our private-sector customers.

New global economic parameters

The financial crisis has not only brought to light some undesirable developments; it’s also accelerating the ongoing structural transformation of the global economic order – in two key respects:

First, we’re experiencing a shift in the global balance of economic power. The world’s emerging countries will be the growth regions of the future, even more so than in the past. This applies particularly to the BRIC countries – Brazil, Russia, India and China – and the countries of the Middle East. Experts are predicting that these countries will account for half of all global economic growth in the years to come. At the same time, it’s unclear when Europe’s economies will again be able to match the strong growth rates of the pre-crisis years.

Second, governments worldwide are strongly committed to achieving a balance among the three key components of sustainability: environmental stewardship, economic development and social responsibility. This commitment is articulated in the statements signed by the leaders of the industrialized countries at this year’s G20 summits in London and Pittsburgh. Acting on their resolve, heads of state and government leaders have now initiated investments in environmentally compatible, energy-efficient green infrastructures.

The crisis as an opportunity

The crisis and the measures taken to overcome it are bringing us not only tremendous challenges but also major opportunities. As an integrated technology company with outstanding infrastructure knowhow, we’re a highly regarded partner worldwide when it comes to enhancing the energy efficiency and environmental compatibility of infrastructures.

worth E23 billion – more than any other company in the world. For 2011, our target is to generate E25 billion in this segment with our Environmental Portfolio.

We also have excellent business prospects in the emerging countries. Our Company has been doing business in most of these countries for many decades and in the BRIC countries for over 100 years. We’re a well-respected business partner in these regions. We know the people, and we’re familiar with their cultures. We understand the challenges facing our local customers, and we have the solutions they need.

The fast-growing middle-market segments in the BRIC countries also offer tremendous business potential for us. However, to realize this potential, we’ll have to redouble our efforts to drive the development of products and solutions tailored to these segments. And this means sharpening our focus on core functionalities and on products that are extremely robust, user-friendly and reasonably priced. The challenges involved in penetrating such markets are considerable. But we’re meeting them with the same perseverance and commitment to reliability and quality that have already made our Company a leading player in high-end markets.

Siemens in fiscal 2010

Against the backdrop of a relentlessly challenging market environment, we anticipate a downturn in revenue in fiscal 2010 in the mid-single-digit range – a considerably smaller decline than the double digit drop posted in fiscal 2009. We aim to generate a total Sectors profit of between E6 billion and E6.5 billion and expect profit from continuing operations to increase some 20 percent compared to fiscal 2009. Despite the global economic challenges, we intend to continue investing heavily in

research and development in order to further expand our leading market and technology positions and strengthen the foundation for our profitable, long-term post-crisis growth.

Having left the burdens of the past behind, we’re now looking ahead to fiscal 2010 and the years beyond with determination and self-confidence. Thanks to our outstanding innovative strength, our global presence and, above all, our highly committed and motivated people, we have everything on board that we need to be a leader in the infrastructure markets of tomorrow.

Hitachi was founded by Namihei Odaira in 1910, as a small electric repair shop. It was incorporated as a joint stock company in 1920. The company moved from electrical repairs into producing transformers, fans, locomotives, elevators and refrigerators. In 1940, the company set up a 5,000 line automatic telephone exchange. Hitachi set up its first research facility in 1942 and this was followed by expansion into computer and nuclear energy research after World War II. The company was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1949.

The company moved into water turbines and electricity generation in the early 1951s. Hitachi produced Japan's first diesel electric locomotive in 1956 and entered the US market in 1959 with the establishment of Hitachi America.

Hitachi entered a period of diversification in the 1960s. It built an experimental nuclear reactor in 1961. In 1963, the company released the first large-scale computer developed exclusively with its own technology. The company manufactured carriages for the Shinkansen Bullet Train and built monorails linking different places in Japan, in 1964. In the late 1960s, Hitachi began to develop color televisions, air conditioners and silicon transistors for mass production.

The company developed a computer-aided traffic control system for the Shinkansen Bullet Train and completed a prototype for a visual information processing robot in 1970. The company took part in the world's first demonstration of fiber optic communication systems in 1976. Hitachi also established key subsidiaries in chemical and material production during the 1970s and began the commercial operation of Japan's first 460,000 kw nuclear power station.

Further international expansion occurred with the creation of subsidiaries in Europe (1982) and Australia (1983). Hitachi was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 1982. The company's non-profit making organization, The Hitachi Foundation, was established in 1985, to promote cultural, educational and scientific exchanges between Japan and the US. During the 1990s, Hitachi followed the path towards new technology, developing a range of products and services, like liquid crystal displays and optical data transmission equipment.

In 2000, the company developed the 52.5 Gbits/in2 perpendicular magnetic recording methods. Hitachi announced a joint venture with Omron in 2004, aimed at combining the Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) and other information equipment businesses of both organizations. In the same year, the company entered a joint venture with NEC to manufacture backbone routers/switches. In 2004, the company started to develop, manufacture and market rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for hybrid electric vehicles, in another joint venture with Shin-Kobe Electric Machinery and Maxell.

Hitachi, Toshiba and Matsushita reached an agreement to establish a joint-venture to manufacture and sell Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panels for flat panel TVs, in 2004. In 2005, Hitachi announced that it h

COMPANY VIEW

A statement by Takashi Kawamura, Representative Executive officer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hitachi, is given below. The statement has been taken from the company’s 2009 annual report.

The world economy faced unprecedented difficulties in the past fiscal year as the financial crisis triggered by the US subprime loan problem threw the economy into disarray in the latter part of 2008.

The market shockwaves spread to the Hitachi Group’s businesses, causing a large drop in demand in auto-related and other businesses that were viewed as growth fields. The impacts were particularly acute during the second half of the fiscal year. Even now as I write this letter, the outlook is unclear, with concerns about further restrictions on lending, the risk of shrinking IT investment and persistent sluggishness in consumer spending. The picture for the economic environment is far from rosy as

things stand today.

Under these bleak conditions, Hitachi saw consolidated revenues fall 11% from the previous fiscal year, to ¥10,000.3 billion, and operating income fell 63%, to ¥127.1 billion. Furthermore, we posted a net loss of ¥787.3 billion, ¥729.2 billion worse than our fiscal 2007 result. One of the main reasons for this wider loss was business structure reform expenses in flatpanel TV, automotive systems and certain other businesses, including impairment losses relating to fixed assets. Higher net equity in losses of the affiliated semiconductor company and the write-off of deferred tax assets were among other factors that also brought about this bottom-line result.

In terms of our financial condition, the large net loss significantly eroded stockholders’ equity. As a result, the debt-to-equity ratio (interest-bearing debt/ (minority interests + stockholders’ equity)) worsened by 0.53 points from March 31, 2008 to 1.29 at March 31, 2009. The annual cash dividend per share applicable to fiscal 2008 was ¥3.0, as we decided to suspend the year-end dividend.

I deeply regret that we were unable to live up to shareholders’ expectations with our fiscal 2008 performance.

We have positioned fiscal 2009 as a year to make a fresh start at the Hitachi Group. Hitachi has many years of experience and know-how in the Social Innovation Business, which includes social infrastructure and information infrastructure. Indeed, this is one of the sources of our strength and we will therefore concentrate business resources on the Social Innovation Business going forward. In this way, we will proceed with efforts to transform Hitachi into a company that can generate stable profit growth.

History

Tata Motors launches its first truck in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz

Tata Motors is a part of the Tata Group manages its share-holding through Tata Sons. The company was established in 1935 as a locomotive manufacturing unit and later expanded its operations to commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with Daimler-Benz AG of Germany. Despite the success of its commercial vehicles, Tata realized his company had to diversify and he began to look at other products. Based on consumer demand, he decided that building a small car would be the most practical new venture. So in 1998 it launched Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car. Designed to be inexpensive and simple to build and maintain, the Indica became a hit in the Indian market. It was also exported to Europe, especially the UK and Italy. In 2004 it acquired Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle, and in late 2005 it acquired 21% of Aragonese Hispano Carrocera giving it controlling rights of the company. It has formed a Joint Venture with Marcopolo of Brazil, and introduced low-floor buses in the Indian Market. Recently, it has acquired British Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which includes the Daimler and Lanchester brand names.

The SECOND generation Tata Indica's excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry.

After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in India, Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by launching the Tata Sierra, a multi utility vehicle. After the launch of three more vehicles, Tata Estate (1992, a stationwagon design based on the earlier 'TataMobile' (1989), a light commercial vehicle), Tata Sumo (LCV, 1994) and Tata Safari (1998, India's first sports utility vehicle). Tata launched the Indica in 1998, the first fully indigenous passenger car of India. Though the car was initially panned by auto-analysts, the car's excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a major improvement over the previous version and quickly became a mass-favourite. Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to South Africa.The success of Indica in many ways marked the rise of Tata Motors.

Vehicles

Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle

With the success of Tata Indica, Tata Motors aimed to increase its presence worldwide. In 2004, it acquired the Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company of South Korea. The reasons behind the acquisition were:

Company's global plans to reduce domestic exposure. The domestic commercial vehicle market is highly cyclical in nature and prone to fluctuations in the domestic economy. Tata Motors has a high domestic exposure of ~94% in the MHCV segment and ~84% in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment. Since the domestic commercial vehicle sales of the company are at the mercy of the structural economic factors, it is increasingly looking at the international markets. The company plans to diversify into various markets across the world in both MHCV as well as LCV segments.

To expand the product portfolio Tata Motors recently introduced the 25MT GVW Tata Novus from Daewoo’s (South Korea) (TDCV) platform. Tata plans to leverage on the strong presence of TDCV in the heavy-tonnage range and introduce products in India at an appropriate time. This was mainly to cater to the international market and also to cater

LG Corp.

to the domestic market where a major improvement in the Road infrastructure was done through the National Highway Development Project.

Tata remains India's largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer and Tata Daewoo is the 2nd largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer in South Korea. Tata Motors has jointly worked with Tata Daewoo to develop trucks such as Novus and World Truck and buses namely, GloBus and StarBus.

Hispano Carrocera

Hispano Carrocera

In 2005, sensing an opportunity in the fully-built bus segment, Tata Motors acquired a 21% controlling stake in Hispano Carrocera SA,[9] the leading European bus and coach cabin maker. In 2009, the company picked up the remaining 79% stake in Hispano Carrocera SA for an undisclosed sum, making it a fully-owned subsidiary.

Jaguar Cars and Land Rover

Main articles: Jaguar Cars and Land Rover

After the acquisition of the British Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business, which also includes the Daimler, Lanchester and Rover brands, Tata Motors became a major player in the international automobile market. On 27 March 2008, Tata Motors reached an agreement with Ford to purchase their Jaguar Land Rover operations for US$2 billion. The sale was completed on 2 June 2008.

In addition to the brands, Tata Motors has also gained access to two design centres and two plants in UK. The key acquisition would be of the intellectual property rights related to the technologies.

Joint ventures

LG Corp.

Tata MarcoPolo released this low-floor bus in India and now it is widely used as public transport in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Lucknow

Tata Motors has formed a 51:49 joint venture in bus body building with Marcopolo of Brazil. This joint venture is to manufacture and assemble fully-built buses and coaches targeted at developing mass rapid transportation systems. The joint venture will absorb technology and expertise in chassis and aggregates from Tata Motors, and Marcopolo will provide know-how in processes and systems for bodybuilding and bus body design. Tata and Marcopolo have launched a low-floor city bus which is widely used by Delhi, Mumbai,Lucknow and Banglore transport corporations.

Tata Motors also formed a joint venture with Fiat and gained access to Fiat’s diesel engine technology.Tata Motors sells Fiat cars in India and is looking to extend its relationship with Fiat and Iveco to other segments. Tata has also formed several JV's with many small companies in various countries around the world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nano.jpg

In January 2008, Tata Motors launched Tata Nano, the least expensive production car in the world at about Rs. 1,00,000 (US $2,500) The city car was unveiled during the Auto Expo 2008 exhibition in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi

Tata has faced controversy over developing the Nano as some environmentalists are concerned that the launch of such a low-priced car could lead to mass motorization in India with adverse effects on pollution and global warming. Tata has set up a factory in Sanand, Gujarat and the first Nanos are to roll out summer 2009.

Tata Nano Europa has been developed for sale in developed economies and is to hit markets in 2010 while the normal Nano should hit markets in South Africa, Kenya and countries in Asia and Africa by late 2009. A battery version is also planned.

Tata has also been approached by a province in France named Moselle to setup Tata Nano manufacturing plant.

Tata AceTata Ace

Tata Ace was India's first mini truck

Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed sub-one ton mini-truck, was launched in May 2005. The mini-truck was a huge success in India with auto-analysts claiming that Ace had changed the dynamics of the light commercial vehicle (LCV) market in the country by creating a new market segment termed the small commercial vehicle (SCV) segment. Ace rapidly emerged as the first choice for transporters and single truck owners for city and rural transport. By October 2005, LCV sales of Tata Motors had grown by 36.6 percent to 28,537 units due to the rising demand for Ace. The Ace was built with a load body produced by Autoline Industries. By

LG Corp.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tataintroace.jpg

2005, Autoline was producing 300 load bodies per day for Tata Motors. Ace is still one of the number maker for TML, TML sold the 2,000,000th Ace in August 2008, within 4 years since its introduction.

Tata Ace has also been exported to several European, South American and African countries. Electric-versions of Tata Ace are sold through Chrysler's Global Electric Motorcars division.

Compressed air car

Tata OneCAT

Tata OneCAT

Motor Development International of France has developed the world's first prototype of a compressed air car, named OneCAT. In 2007, MDI owner Guy Negre was reported to have "the backing of Tata".

It has airtanks that can be filled in 4 hours by plugging the car into a standard electrical plug. In 2008 MDI planned to also design a gas station compressor, which would fill the tanks in 3 minutes. There are no gasoline costs and no fossil fuel emissions from the vehicle when run in town, but "the compressed air driving the pistons can be boosted by a fuel burner".

OneCAT is a five seat vehicle with a 200-litre (7.1 cu ft) trunk. With full tanks it is said to run at 100 km/h (62 mph) for 90 kilometres (56 mi) range in urban cycle. There are severe physical arguments pleading against those figures. In December 2009 Tata's vice president of engineering systems confirmed that the limited range and low engine temperatures were causing difficulties.

Electric vehicles

Tata Motors unveiled the electric versions of passenger car Tata Indica and commercial vehicle Tata Ace. Both run on lithium batteries. The company has indicated that the electric Indica would be launched locally in India in about 2010, without disclosing the price. The vehicle would be launched in Norway in 2009.

Tata Motors' UK subsidiary, Tata Motors European Technical Centre, has bought a 50.3% holding in electric vehicle technology firm Miljøbil Grenland/Innovasjon of Norway for

LG Corp.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Catvertroquette.jpg

US$1.93 M, which specialises in the development of innovative solutions for electric vehicles, and plans to launch the electric Indica hatchback in Europe next year.

Operations

The Tata Safari DiCOR is one of Tata's best-selling vehicles in India and also has been fairly successful in the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe

Tata has tried to revamp all its models in order to satisfy the consumer

The purchase of Jaguar and Land Rover is expected to help give Tata Motors gain a foothold in the European and American markets.

Tata relies on its subsidiaries for sales outside India. Seen here is the Range Rover Sport.

the Canadian and Ontario governments, with the US government investing a total of US$57.6 billion under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

While no GM shares are currently available to the public, the company plans an initial public stock offering (IPO) in 2010.

GM plans to focus its business on its four core US brands: Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC. In Europe, following a period of negotiation to sell a majority stake in its Opel and Vauxhall brands, GM decided to retain full ownership of these operations.

On February 23, 2010, GM sold Saab Automobile to Spyker Cars NV. GM is winding down its Hummer, Pontiac, and Saturn brands, the latter two remaining under the old GM, now known as Motors Liquidation Company.

History

History of General Motors

General Motors was founded on September 16, 1908, in Flint, Michigan, as a holding company for Buick, then controlled by William C. Durant. General Motors Co-Founder was Charles Stewart Mott, whose carriage company was merged into GM at the time of its creation. Over the years Mott became the largest single stockholder in GM and spent his life with his Mott Foundation, whose benefit was shone on the City of Flint, Michigan, his adopted home. It acquired Oldsmobile later that year. In 1909, Durant brought in Cadillac, Elmore, Oakland and several others. Also in 1909, General Motors acquired the Reliance Motor Truck Company of Owosso, Michigan, and the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company of Pontiac, Michigan, the predecessors of GMC Truck. Durant lost control of GM in 1910 to a bankers' trust, because of the large amount of debt taken on in its acquisitions coupled with a collapse in new vehicle sales. The next year, Durant started the Chevrolet Motor Car Company and through this he secretly purchased a controlling interest in GM. Durant took back control of the company after one of the

LG Corp.

most dramatic proxy wars in American business history. Durant then reorganized General Motors Company into General Motors Corporation. Shortly after, he again lost control, this time for good, after the new vehicle market collapsed. Alfred P. Sloan was picked to take charge of the corporation and led it to its post war global dominance. This unprecedented growth of GM would last into the early 1980s when it employed 349,000 workers and operated 150 assembly plants.

GM previously led in global sales for 77 consecutive years (1931 to 2008), longer than any other automaker.

Reorganization

General Motors Chapter 11 reorganization

On July 10, 2009, a new entity, NGMCO Inc. purchased the ongoing operations and trademarks from General Motors Corporation. The purchasing company in turn changed its name from NGMCO Inc. to General Motors Company, marking the emergence of a new operation from the "pre-packaged" Chapter 11 reorganization. Under the reorganization process, termed a 363 sale (for Section 363 which is located in Title 11, Chapter 3, Subchapter IV of the United States Code, a part of the Bankruptcy Code), the purchaser of the assets of a company in bankruptcy proceedings is able to obtain approval for the purchase from the court prior to the submission of a re-organization plan, free of liens and other claims. It’s used in most Chapter 11 cases that involve a sale of property or other assets. This process is typical of large organizations with complex branding and intellectual property rights issues upon exiting bankruptcy. The new company plans to issue an initial public offering (IPO) of stock in 2010.

GM's remaining pre-petition creditors' claims are paid from the remaining assets of Motors Liquidation Company, the new name of the former General Motors Corporation, although the directors of that company believe its debts far outweigh its assets. This means that while the former GM's bondholders may recover a small portion of their investment, former GM shareholders (now shareholders of Motors Liquidation Company) will likely not receive anything.

Also on July 10, 2009, GM announced plans to trim its U.S. workforce by 20,000 employees as part of its reorganization by the end of 2009 due to economic conditions.

The following table is a comparison (estimates) of the new GM and the old GM:

North America

Core brand focus

In North America, GM will focus primarily on its four core brands — Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC — while selling, discontinuing, or scaling back its other brands. The White House characterized the GM restructuring as a shift toward a new leaner, greener GM, which will aim to break even with annual sales much lower than previously stated. President Obama declared that the restructuring "will mark the end of an old GM, and the beginning of a new GM; a new GM that can produce the high-quality, safe, and fuel-efficient cars of tomorrow; that can lead America towards an energy independent future; and that is once more a symbol of America's success."

In the middle of 2005, GM announced that its corporate chrome emblem "Mark of Excellence" would begin appearing on all recently introduced and all-new 2006 model vehicles produced and sold in North America. However, in 2009 the "New GM" reversed this, saying that emphasis on its four core brands would dictate downplaying the GM name.

Production of SUVs and trucks vs. cars

In the late 1990s, the U.S. economy was on the rise and GM and Ford gained market share producing enormous profits primarily from the sale of light trucks and sport-utility vehicles.

Following the September 11 attacks, a severe stock market decline caused a pension and benefit fund underfunding crisis. GM began its Keep America Rolling campaign, which boosted sales, and other auto makers were forced to follow suit. The U.S. automakers saw sales increase to leverage costs as gross margins deteriorated.

In 2004, GM redirected resources from the development of new sedans to an accelerated refurbishment of their light trucks and SUVs for introduction as 2007 models in early 2006.

LG Corp.

Shortly after this decision, fuel prices increased by over 50% and this in turn affected both the trade-in value of used vehicles and the perceived desirability of new offerings in these market segments. The current marketing plan is to tout these revised vehicles extensively as offering the best fuel economy in their class (of vehicle). GM claims its hybrid trucks will have fuel economy improvements of 25%.

Sales

In 2005, GM promoted sales through an "employee discount" to all buyers. Marketed as the lowest possible price, GM cleared an inventory buildup of 2005 models to make way for its 2006 lineup.

SUV sales

LG Corp.

In 2008, rapidly rising gasoline prices resulted in a 30% drop-off of sales of SUVs. These had been GM's most profitable product, often returning profits of US$10,000 to US$15,000 per vehicle. Sales of SUVs had been decreasing since 2004, and in May 2008, a US$2 billion investment program for a new SUV platform, the CXX program, was canceled. During the first 6 months of 2008, GM lost $18.8 billion; by late October, its stock had dropped 76%, and it was considering a merger with Chrysler. In only 12 months (October 2007-2008), GM sales in the US dropped 45 percent. GM's concentration on SUVs as a profit center dated from the 1990s.

General Motors plant in Arlington, Texas produces its largest SUVs. On Tuesday, December 23, 2008, the Janesville, Wisconsin plant, which produced the Chevrolet Tahoe, the Suburban, and the GMC Yukon, and the Moraine, Ohio plant which produced the Chevrolet Trailblazer and the GMC Envoy idled production. GM has yet to confirm future product plans for the idled facilities.

Small car sales

"As part of General Motors Company (GM)'s restructuring, it plans to revive one of its idled U.S. factories for the production of a small car (the factories under consideration included one in or near the cars in busville and Orion Township areas of Michigan, one in Wisconsin, and one in Tennessee; the factory in Michigan was ultimately selected to be revived, but only 1,200 out of a former 3,400 jobs will be left). The new small car will add to a group of small and fuel-efficient vehicles that the company is planning to roll out in the near future. The retooled plant will be capable of building 160,000 cars annually, including both small and compact vehicles.

Canada

In March 2005, the Canadian Crown-in-Council provided C$200 million in incentives to General Motors for its Ontario plants to expand production and provide jobs, according to Jim Harris. Similar incentives were promised to non-North American auto companies like Toyota. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, said the money pledged for the project by the provincial Crown of Ontario and by the federal government was well spent.

China

The Buick brand is especially strong in China, led by the Buick Excelle subcompact. The last emperor of China owned a Buick. The Cadillac brand was introduced in China in 2004, starting with imports from the United States. GM pushed the marketing of the Chevrolet brand in China in 2005 as well, moving the former Buick Sail to that marque. The company manufactures most of its China market vehicles locally through Shanghai GM, a joint venture with the Chinese company SAIC, which was created on March 25, 1997. The Shanghai GM plant was officially opened on December 15, 1998, when the first Chinese-built Buick came off the assembly line.

LG Corp.

The SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile joint-venture is also successfully selling trucks and vans under the Wuling marque (34% owned by GM).

GM plans to invest $250m to create a research facility in Shanghai to develop hybrid cars and alternative fuel vehicles.

Labor relations

2007 General Motors strike

On September 24, 2007 General Motors workers represented by the United Auto Workers union went on the first nationwide strike against GM since 1970. The ripple effect of the strike reached into Canada the following day as two car assembly plants and a transmission facility were forced to close. Overnight a tentative agreement was reached, however, and UAW officials declared the end of the strike in a news conference at 4 a.m. on September 26. By the following day, all GM workers in both countries were back to work.

A new labor contract was ratified by UAW members exactly one week after the tentative agreement was reached, passing by a majority 62% vote. In the contract are several product and employment guarantees stretching well into the next decade. One of GM's key future products, the Chevy Volt, was promised to the GM Poletown/Detroit-Hamtramck plant in 2010. Also included is a VEBA (Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association) which will transfer retiree health care obligations to the UAW by 2010. This eliminates more than $50 billion from GM's healthcare tab. It will be funded by $30 billion in cash and $1.4 billion in GM stock paid to the UAW over the next four years of the contract. It also eliminates 70% of the labor cost gap with GM's Japanese rivals.

A strike at American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings Inc. will result in lost production of an additional 230,000 vehicles in the second quarter, with an estimated $1.8 billion impact on earnings before tax, and a total strike cost of $2.81 billion.

Together with the United Auto Workers, GM created a joint venture dedicated to the quality of life needs of employees in 1985. The UAW-GM Center for human resources in Detroit is dedicated to providing GM salaried employees and GM UAW members programs and services related to medical care, diversity issues, education, training and tuition assistance, as well as programs related to work and family concerns, in addition to the traditional union-employer health and safety partnership.

2008 Canadian Auto Workers bargaining

In an unusual move, GM Canada and the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union ratified a new collective bargaining contract in May 2008, four months before the expiration of the existing contract. As part of the agreement, among other production commitments, GM pledged to maintain production at the Oshawa, Ontario pickup truck plant. Less than three weeks later, GM announced that rising gasoline prices and falling truck sales made it necessary to close certain truck and SUV plants, including the Oshawa pickup plant. In response, CAW members staged a

LG Corp.

12-day blockade of the GM Canada headquarters. After further discussions with the CAW, GM agreed to compensate workers at the truck plant, as well as making product commitments for the Oshawa car assembly plant.

Labor costs

GM announced elimination of lifetime health benefits for about 100,000 of its white collar retirees at the end of 2008.

Auto racing

General Motors has an extensive history in numerous forms of racing. In particular, the Chevrolet Corvette has long been popular and successful in international road racing. GM also is a supplier of racing components, such as engines, transmissions, and electronics equipments.

GM's Oldsmobile Aurora engine platform was successful in the Indy Racing League (IRL) throughout the 1990s, winning many races in the small V-8 class. GM has also done much work in the development of electronics for GM auto racing. An unmodified Aurora V-8 in the Aerotech, captured 47 world records, including the record for speed endurance in the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America. Recently, the Cadillac V-Series has entered motorsports racing. GM has also used many cars in the American racing series NASCAR. Currently the Chevrolet Impala is the only entry in the series but in the past the Pontiac Grand Prix, Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Malibu, and the Chevrolet Monte Carlo were also used.

In touring cars (mainly in Europe), Vauxhall is a key player and former champion in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) series and competes with a Vauxhall Vectra in Super 2000 spec, although have announced plans to withdraw at the end of 2009. Opel used to participate in the DTM series and also in the 1980s in the World Rally Championship and other Rally Series with Group B Spec Opel Manta's before this category of Rallying was banned. Chevrolet competes with a Chevrolet Cruze in the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). Tempus Sport and RML also compete with privately run Lacettis in the BTCC.

In Australia, there is the prestigious V8 Supercar Championship which is battled out by the two main rivals of (GM) Holden and Ford. The current Holden Racing Team cars are based on the Holden Commodore and run a 5.0-litre V8-cylinder engine producing 635 bhp (474 kW). These cars have a top speed of 294 km/h (183 mph) and run 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. The Holden Racing Team is Australia's most successful team in Australian Touring Car History. In 2006 & 2007, the Drivers championship was won by the very closely linked HSV Dealer Team.

Alternative propulsion initiatives

The company has long worked on alternative-technology vehicles, and has recently led the industry with ethanol burning flexible-fuel vehicles that can run on either E85 (ethanol) or gasoline. The company was the first to use turbochargers and was an early proponent of V6

LG Corp.

engines in the 1960s, but quickly lost interest as the muscle car race took hold. They demonstrated gas turbine vehicles powered by kerosene, an area of interest throughout the industry, but abandoned the alternative engine configuration in view of the 1973 oil crisis. In the 1970s and 1980s, GM pushed the benefits of diesel engines and cylinder deactivation technologies with disastrous results due to poor durability in the Oldsmobile diesels and drivability issues in the Cadillac V8-6-4 variable cylinder engines. In 1987, GM, in conjunction with AeroVironment, built the Sunraycer, which won the inaugural World Solar Challenge and was a showcase of advanced technology. Much of the technology from Sunraycer found its way into the Impact prototype electric vehicle (also built by Aerovironment) and was the predecessor to the General Motors EV1.

GM supported a compromise version of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard increase from 27 mpg-US (8.7 L/100 km; 32 mpg-imp) to 35 mpg-US (6.7 L/100 km; 42 mpg-imp), the first such increase in over 20 years.

Hybrid electric initiative

Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid 2009.

In May 2004, GM delivered the world's first full sized hybrid pickups, the 1/2-ton Silverado/Sierra. These hybrids did not use electrical energy for propulsion, like GM's later designs. In 2005, the Opel Astra diesel Hybrid concept vehicle was introduced. The 2006 Saturn Vue Green Line was the first hybrid passenger vehicle from GM and is also a mild design. GM has hinted at new hybrid technologies to be employed that will be optimized for higher speeds in freeway driving.

GM currently offers two types of hybrid systems. The first type, used in the Saturn Vue, Saturn Aura, and Chevrolet Malibu, is what GM calls the BAS Hybrid system a type of mild hybrid

LG Corp.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chevrolet_Tahoe_Hybrid_DC.JPG

which was canceled in 2009. The second hybrid drive system, co-developed with Daimler AG and BMW, is called a "Two-Mode Hybrid". The two-mode is used by the Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon and will later be used on the Saturn Vue (cancelled), Cadillac Escalade, GM 1/2-ton pickups and possibly other vehicles.

GM's current hybrid electric models:

2009 Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid (discontinued) 2009 Saturn Aura Green Line Hybrid (discontinued) 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid 2009 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid (discontinued) 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid 2009 Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid 2009 GMC Sierra Hybrid

GM has recently introduced the concept cars Chevrolet Volt and Opel Flextreme, which are electric vehicles with back-up generators, powered by gasoline, E85, or fuel cells. According to GM, a production Chevrolet Volt will be available by late 2010 as a 2011 model.

The GM Magic Bus is a hybrid powered bus.

GM sold 843 hybrids of all types during the first quarter of 2008, according to the industry newspaper. Compare that with Ford, which sold 5,225 hybrids during that time. CSM Worldwide, expects GM to seriously increase its hybrid output, turning the automaker into a serious contender within the next few years. He expects it to produce 40,000 to 50,000 hybrids this year, more than doubling last year's production.

All-electric vehicles

General Motors EV1

Electric car EV1 shown plugged into charging station

GM was the first American company (in the modern era) to release an all-electric automobile. In 1990, GM debuted the revolutionary "Impact" concept car at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It was the first car with zero-emissions marketed in the US in over three decades. The Impact was

LG Corp.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GM_EV1.jpg

eventually produced as the EV1 for the 1996 model year. It was available through dealers located in only a few regions (e.g., California, Arizona, Georgia). Vehicles were leased, rather than sold, to individuals. In 1999 GM decided to cease production of the vehicles.

On September 16, 2008, as part of its 100th anniversary celebration, GM unveiled the "production" version of the Chevrolet Volt at the GM headquarters in Detroit.

Battery packs for electric vehicles

GM will build battery packs with LG Chem in Michigan. GM also plans to build an automotive battery laboratory in Michigan. GM will take full responsibility for all the battery management systems and power electronics. The company will build a new factory in Michigan, but a specific site has yet to be announced, in part because negotiations are ongoing with state and local authorities on the usual financial incentives and approvals. LG Chem's US subsidiary, Compact Power of Troy, Michigan, has been building the prototype packs for the development vehicles and will continue to provide integration support and act as a liaison for the program.

Hydrogen initiative

Sequel, a fuel cell-powered vehicle from GM.

GM has prided its research and prototype development of hydrogen powered vehicles, to be produced in early 2010, using a support infrastructure still in a prototype state. The economic feasibility of the technically challenging hydrogen car, and the low-cost production of hydrogen to fuel it, has also been discussed by other automobile manufacturers such as Ford and Chrysler.

Flexible-fuel vehicles

The E85, FlexFuel, Chevrolet Impala LT 2009.

GM produces several flexible-fuel vehicles that can operate on E85 ethanol fuel or gasoline, or any blend of both. Since 2006 GM started featuring a bright yellow gas cap to remind drivers of the E85 capabilities, and also using badging with the text "Flexfuel/E85 Ethanol" to clearly mark the car as an E85 FFV.

GM is the North American leader in E85 flex fuel vehicles, with over 3 million FlexFuel vehicles on the road in the U.S. As of 2009, GM offers 18 ethanol-enabled FlexFuel cars and trucks in the US, and produce more than one million new FlexFuel vehicles. GM's goal is to have half of their annual vehicle production be E85 or biodiesel capable by 2012.

Brazilian market

Brazilian Chevrolet Celta FlexPower.

GM's largest overseas subsidiary is General Motors do Brasil, which started producing flexible-fuel vehicles since its inception in the Brazilian market in 2003. Like other Brazilian flex-fuel vehicles, GM's flex fuel cars and light-duty trucks are optimized to run on any mix of E20-E25 gasoline and up to 100% hydrous ethanol fuel (E100). GM launched its first flex fuel in June 2003, the Chevrolet Corsa 1.8 FlexPower, just two months after the first flex car was launched by another Brazilian carmaker.

GM do Brasil also introduced the MultiPower engine in August 2004, which was capable of using natural gas (CNG), ethanol and gasoline (E20-E25 blend) as fuel, and it was used in the multifuel Chevrolet Astra 2.0 model 2005, aimed at the local taxi cab market. The Brazilian GM Powertrain unit also developed the EconoFlex technology, used for the first time in the Chevrolet Prisma 1.4, which allows the flex fuel engine to maximize fuel economy and power.

Due to the success and rapid consumer acceptance of the flex versions, GM sold 192,613 flex vehicles and 135,636 gasoline-powered automobiles in 2005, jumping to 501,681 flex-fuel vehicles, while only 949 cars and 6,834 light trucks powered by gasoline were sold in 2007, and reaching new car sales of 535.454 flex fuels in 2008, representing 97 percent of all cars and light duty trucks sold in that year.

Philanthropy

Since 1996, General Motors has been the exclusive source of funding for Safe Kids USA's "Safe Kids Buckle Up" program, a national initiative to ensure child automobile safety through education and inspection. Through 2002, the Pace Awards program led by GM, EDS, and SUN Microsystems, gave over $1.2 billion of in-kind contributions which includes computers to over 18 universities to support engineering education. In 2009, the GM led group has helped the Pace Awards program worldwide. General Motors is a leading contributor to charity. In 2004, GM gave $51,200,000 in cash contributions and $17,200,000 in-kind donations to charitable causes.

Politics

In the 2008 election cycle, General Motors contributed $802,414, with 52% of that amount going to the Democrats and 48% to the Republicans. GM's Saturn division put up a display at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show congratulating Barack Obama on his election as the first African-American president of the United States.

Environmental issues

In the middle of 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) removed 23,000 cubic yards (18,000 m3 ) of contaminated sediments and soil from the General Motors site in Massena, New York for disposal at a licensed facility in Utah. The amount contained 13,000 cubic yards (9,900 m3 ) of contaminated sediments dredged from the St. Lawrence River. The sediments had been stored on the site since 1995. There was also 10,000 cubic yards (7,600 m3 ) of contaminated sludge from the active wastewater treatment plant on the General Motors property. The Political Economy Research Institute ranks GM 18th among corporations emitting airborne pollutants in the United States. The ranking is based on the emission quantity (8 million pounds in 2005) and toxicity.

In September 2006, the state of California filed suit against General Motors, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, and Ford. The companies were accused of producing cars that emitted over 289 million metric tons of carbon per year in the United States, accounting for nearly 20% of carbon emissions in the United States and 30% of carbon emissions in California. This lawsuit was dismissed by a judge in September 2007.

The Union of Concerned Scientists ranked General Motors as seventh out of the eight world's largest automakers in 2007 for environmental performance. The report noted that GM manufactured the most vehicles achieving 30 mpg-US (7.8 L/100 km; 36 mpg-imp) or better, but also the most vehicles under 15 mpg-US (16 L/100 km; 18 mpg-imp).

History

LG Corp.

Main article: History of Toyota

Toyota started in 1933 as a division of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works devoted to the production of automobiles under the direction of the founder's son, Kiichiro Toyoda. Its first vehicles were the A1 passenger car and the G1 in 1935. Toyota Motor Co. was established as an independent company in 1937.

Recent company developments

2007–2010 financial crisis

On May 8, 2009, Toyota reported a record annual net loss of US$4.2 billion, making it the latest automobile maker to be severely affected by the 2007-2010 financial crisis.

2009–2010 vehicle recalls

Main article: 2009–2010 Toyota vehicle recalls

In January 2010, Toyota announced recalling up to 1.8 million cars across Europe, including about 220,000 in the UK, following an accelerator problem. The US Transportation Department has opened an investigation into brake problems in Toyota vehicles. This is after the department received 124 reports from drivers about the issue, including four involving crashes.

The company said its recall could cost the company up to US$2 billion (GB£1.25 billion) in lost output and sales. Toyota later recalled the Prius model after problems were found in the ABS system. Many Toyota models were involved, covering 2007-2010 model years. The U.S. Sales Chief, James Lentz, was questioned by the United States Congress committees on Oversight and Investigations on February 23, 2010, as a result of recent recalls.

On 26 March Toyota said it would halt production in France and Britain for 12 days because of poor sales following vehicles recalls. On 6th April 2010, The US government sought a record penalty from Toyota for deliberately hiding information on defective accelerator pedals.

On April 13, 2010, Toyota will be temporarily halting sales of the 2010 Lexus GX 460 after Consumer Reports issued a rare "Don't Buy" warning amid concerns the large SUV has handling problems that could cause it to roll over during sharp turns.

On April 16, 2010, Toyota announced that it will recall 600,000 Sienna minivans because the rusting spare-tire cable could create a potential road hazard.

On April 19, 2010, Toyota has declared that it will pay the US$16.375 million fine, which was imposed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on April 5, for failure to notify the NHTSA regarding the brake problem.

Name

LG Corp.

Toyota headquarters in Toyota City, Japan

Vehicles were originally sold under the name "Toyoda" (トヨダ), from the family name of the company's founder, Kiichirō Toyoda. In September 1936, the company ran a public competition to design a new logo. Out of 27,000 entries the winning entry was the three Japanese katakana letters for "Toyoda" in a circle. But Risaburō Toyoda, who had married into the family and was not born with that name, preferred "Toyota" ( トヨタ ) because it took eight brush strokes (a fortuitous number) to write in Japanese, was visually simpler (leaving off the diacritic at the end) and with a voiceless consonant instead of a voiced one (voiced consonants are considered to have a "murky" or "muddy" sound compared to voiceless consonants, which are "clear"). Since "Toyoda" literally means "fertile rice paddies", changing the name also helped to distance the company from associations with old-fashioned farming. The newly formed word was trademarked and the company was registered in August 1937 as the "Toyota Motor Company".

In predominantly Chinese-speaking countries or regions using traditional Chinese characters, e.g. Hong Kong and Taiwan, Toyota is known as " 豊田 ". In predominantly Chinese speaking countries using simplified Chinese characters (e.g. China), Toyota is known as " 丰田 " (pronounced as "Fēngtián" in the Mandarin Chinese dialect). These are the same characters as the founding family's name "Toyoda" in Japanese, which translate to "fertile rice paddies" in the Chinese language as well.

From September 1947, Toyota's small-sized vehicles were sold under the name "Toyopet" (トヨペット). The first vehicle sold under this name was the Toyopet SA but it also included vehicles such as the Toyopet SB light truck, Toyopet Stout light truck,[26] Toyopet Crown and the Toyopet Corona. However, when Toyota eventually entered the American market in 1957 with the Crown, the name was not well received due to connotations of toys and pets. The name was soon dropped for the American market but continued in other markets until the mid 1960s.

Company overview

LG Corp.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Toyota_Headquarter_Toyota_City.jpg

With over 30 million sold, the Corolla is one of the most popular and best selling cars in the world.

The Toyota Motor Company received its first Japanese Quality Control Award at the start of the 1980s and began participating in a wide variety of motorsports. Due to the 1973 oil crisis, consumers in the lucrative U.S. market began turning to small cars with better fuel economy. American car manufacturers had considered small economy cars to be an "entry level" product, and their small vehicles employed a low level of quality in order to keep the price low.

By the early sixties, the US had begun placing stiff import tariffs on certain vehicles. The Chicken tax of 1964 placed a 25% tax on imported commercials vans. In response to the tariff, Toyota, Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. began building plants in the U.S. by the early eighties.

In 1982, the Toyota Motor Company and Toyota Motor Sales merged into one company, the Toyota Motor Corporation. Two years later, Toyota entered into a joint venture with General Motors called NUMMI, the New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc, operating an automobile-manufacturing plant in Fremont, California. The factory was an old General Motors plant that had been closed for two years. Toyota then started to establish new brands at the end of the 1980s, with the launch of their luxury division Lexus in 1989.

In the 1990s, Toyota began to branch out from producing mostly compact cars by adding many larger and more luxurious vehicles to its lineup, including a full-sized pickup, the T100 (and later the Tundra); several lines of SUVs; a sport version of the Camry, known as the Camry Solara; and the Scion brand, a group of several affordable, yet sporty, automobiles targeted specifically to young adults. Toyota also began production of the world's best-selling hybrid car, the Prius, in 1997.

With a major presence in Europe, due to the success of Toyota Team Europe, the corporation decided to set up TMME, Toyota Motor Europe Marketing & Engineering, to help market vehicles in the continent. Two years later, Toyota set up a base in the United Kingdom, TMUK, as the company's cars had become very popular among British drivers. Bases in Indiana, Virginia and Tianjin were also set up. In 1999, the company decided to list itself on the New York and London Stock Exchanges.

Toyota Deutschland's headquarters in Cologne

In 2001, Toyota's Toyo Trust and Banking merged to form the UFJ, United Financials of Japan, which was accused of corruption by the Japan's government for making bad loans to alleged Yakuza crime syndicates with executives accused of blocking Financial Service Agency inspections. The UFJ was listed among Fortune Magazine's largest money-losing corporations in the world, with Toyota's chairman serving as a director. At the time, the UFJ was one of the largest shareholders of Toyota. As a result of Japan's banking crisis, the UFJ was merged again to become Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.

In 2002, Toyota managed to enter a Formula One works team and establish joint ventures with French motoring companies Citroën and Peugeot a year after Toyota started producing cars in France.

Toyota ranked eighth on Forbes 2000 list of the world's leading companies for the year 2005. The company was number one in global automobile sales for the first quarter of 2008.

On December 7, 2004, a U.S. press release was issued stating that Toyota would be offering Sirius Satellite Radios. However, as late as January 27, 2007, Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite radio kits were not available for Toyota factory radios. While the press release enumerated nine models, only limited availability existed at the dealer level in the U.S. As of 2008, all Toyota and Scion models have either standard or available XM radio kits. Major Lexus dealerships have been offering satellite radio kits for Lexus vehicles since 2005, in addition to factory-equipped satellite radio models.

In 2007, Toyota released an update of its full size truck, the Tundra, produced in two American factories, one in Texas and one in Indiana. "Motor Trend" named the Tundra "Truck of the Year," and the 2007 Toyota Camry "Car of the Year" for 2007. It also began the construction of two new factories, one to build the RAV4 in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada and the other to build the Toyota Prius in Blue Springs, Mississippi, USA. This plant was originally intended to build the Toyota Highlander, but Toyota decided to use the plant in Princeton, Indiana, USA, instead. The company has also found recent success with its smaller models—the Corolla and Yaris—as gas prices have risen rapidly in the last few years.

In 2009-2010, the company was heavily in debt and had to request a loan of more than $3 billion from a bank backed by the Japanese government.

Logo and branding

The 1936 Toyota Model AA, with the original Toyoda logo

In 1936, Toyota entered the passenger car market with its Model AA and held a competition to establish a new logo emphasizing speed for its new product line. After receiving 27,000 entries, one was selected that additionally resulted in a change of its monikor to "Toyota" from the family name "Toyoda." It was believed that the new name sounded better and its eight-stroke count in the Japanese language was associated with wealth and good fortune. The original logo no longer is found on its vehicles but remains the corporate emblem used in Japan.

Still, there were no guidelines for the use of the brand name, "TOYOTA", which was used throughout most of the world, which led to inconsistencies in its worldwide marketing campaigns.

MEGAWEB, Toyota's permanent exhibition showroom and museum in Odaiba, Tokyo

To remedy this, Toyota introduced a new worldwide logo in 1989 in conjunction with and to differentiate it from the newly released luxury Lexus brand. There are three ovals in the new logo that combine to for the letter "T", which stands for Toyota. The overlapping of the two perpendicular ovals inside the larger oval represent the mutually beneficial relationship and trust that is placed between the customer and the company while the larger oval that surrounds both of these inner ovals represent the "global expansion of Toyota's technology and unlimited potential for the future."

The logo started appearing on all printed material, advertisements, and dealer signage starting in 1990 and on the cars themselves in 1991.

Toyota Trademarks

The stylized Toyota logo word in stylized form, trademarked at the USPTO, and filed by Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha

1957 is the year the first Toyota vehicles were exported to the United States by the Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.[35] However, it wasn't until Friday, June 9, 1967 that the first trademark application with the USPTO for TOYOTA was filed by Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Gaisha. The trademark application was filed for Automobiles and motor trucks in Class 19, Non-metallic Building Materials. It also indicates the first use of the trademark name was on March 29, 1958. The application also includes a reference that, "Toyota" translates in English to, "Richfield." This is likely a variation of the Toyoda family name translation of "fertile rice paddies." U.S. trademark registration was on January 30, 1968.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Toyoto-T-logo1989-trademarkia.jpeg

Toyota's marketing efforts have focused on emphasizing the positive experiences of ownership and vehicle quality. The ownership experience has been targeted in slogans such as "Oh, what a feeling!" (1978–1985, in the U.S.), "Who could ask for anything more" (1986–1989), "I love what you do for me, Toyota!" (1990–1997), "Everyday" (1997–2000)", "Get the feeling!" (2001–2004), and "Moving Forward" (2004–present).

Toyota philosophy

The Toyota Way

Toyota's management philosophy has evolved from the company's origins and has been reflected in the terms "Lean Manufacturing" and Just In Time Production, which it was instrumental in developing. Toyota's managerial values and business methods are known collectively as the Toyota Way.

In April 2001 the Toyota Motor Corporation adopted the "Toyota Way 2001," an expression of values and conduct guidelines that all Toyota employees should embrace. Under the two headings of Respect for People and Continuous Improvement, Toyota summarizes its values and conduct guidelines with the following five principles:

Challenge Kaizen (improvement) Genchi Genbutsu (go and see) Respect Teamwork

According to external observers, the Toyota Way has four components:

1. Long-term thinking as a basis for management decisions.2. A process for problem-solving.3. Adding value to the organization by developing its people.4. Recognizing that continuously solving root problems drives organizational learning.

The Toyota Way incorporates the Toyota Production System.

Toyota Production System

Main article: Toyota Production System

Toyota has long been recognized as an industry leader in manufacturing and production. Three stories of its origin have been found, one that they studied Piggly-Wiggly's just-in-time distribution system, one that they followed the writings of W. Edwards Deming, and one that they were given the principles from a U.S. Army training program (Training Within Industry). It

LG Corp.

is possible that all these, and more, are true. Regardless of the origin, the principles described by Toyota in its management philosophy, The Toyota Way, are: Challenge, Kaizen (improvement), Genchi Genbutsu (go and see), Respect, and Teamwork.

As described by external observers of Toyota, the principles of the Toyota Way are:

1. Base your management decisions on a long-term philosophy, even at the expense of short-term goals

2. Create continuous process flow to bring problems to the surface3. Use "pull" systems to avoid overproduction4. Level out the workload5. Build a culture of stopping to fix problems, to get quality right the first time6. Standardized tasks are the foundation for continuous improvement and employee

empowerment7. Use visual control so no problems are hidden8. Use only reliable, thoroughly tested technology that serves your people and processes9. Grow leaders who thoroughly understand the work, live the philosophy, and teach it to

others10. Develop exceptional people and teams who follow your company’s philosophy11. Respect your extended network of partners and suppliers by challenging them and

helping them improve12. Go and see for yourself to thoroughly understand the situation (genchi genbutsu)13. Make decisions slowly by consensus, thoroughly considering all options; implement

decisions rapidly14. Become a learning organization through relentless reflection and continuous

improvement

Operations

Toyota Pavilion at the Expo in Aichi

Toyota has grown to a large multinational corporation from where it started and expanded to different worldwide markets and countries. It displaced GM and became the world's largest automobile maker for the year 2008. It held the title of the most profitable automobile maker (US$$11 billion in 2006) along with increasing sales in, among other countries, the United States. The world headquarters of Toyota are located in its home country in Toyota, Aichi,

Japan. Its subsidiary, Toyota Financial Services sells financing and participates in other lines of business. Toyota brands include Scion and Lexus and the corporation is part of the Toyota Group. Toyota also owns majority stakes in Daihatsu, and 16.7% of Fuji Heavy Industries, which manufactures Subaru vehicles. They also acquired 5.9% of Isuzu Motors Ltd. on November 7, 2006 and will be introducing Isuzu diesel technology into their products.

Toyota has introduced new technologies including one of the first mass-produced hybrid gas-electric vehicles, of which it says it has sold 1 million globally (2007-06-07), Advanced Parking Guidance System (automatic parking), a four-speed electronically controlled automatic with buttons for power and economy shifting, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Toyota, and Toyota-produced Lexus and Scion automobiles, consistently rank near the top in certain quality and reliability surveys, primarily J.D. Power and Consumer Reports although they led in automobile recalls for the first time in 2009.

In 2005, Toyota, combined with its half-owned subsidiary Daihatsu Motor Company, produced 8.54 million vehicles, about 500,000 fewer than the number produced by GM that year. Toyota has a large market share in the United States, but a small market share in Europe. Its also sells vehicles in Africa and is a market leader in Australia. Due to its Daihatsu subsidiary it has significant market shares in several fast-growing Southeast Asian countries.

According to the 2008 Fortune Global 500, Toyota Motor is the fifth largest company in the world. Since the recession of 2001, it has gained market share in the United States. Toyota's market share struggles in Europe where its Lexus brand has three tenths of one percent market share, compared to nearly two percent market share as the U.S. luxury segment leader.

Worldwide presence

In 2002, Toyota initiated the "Innovative International Multi-purpose vehicle" project (IMV) to optimize global manufacturing and supply systems for pickup trucks and multipurpose vehicles, and to satisfy market demand in more than 140 countries worldwide. IMV called for diesel engines to be made in Thailand, gasoline engines in Indonesia and manual transmissions in the Philippines, for supply to the countries charged with vehicle production. For vehicle assembly, Toyota would use plants in Thailand, Indonesia, Argentina, South Africa and Pakistan. These four main IMV production and export bases supply Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania, Latin America and the Middle East with three IMV vehicles: The Toyota Hilux (Vigo), the Fortuner, and the Toyota Innova.

Virginia. A new plant slated to be built in Blue Springs, Mississippi has been put on hold owing to the financial crisis that erupted in late 2008. Toyota had a joint-venture operation with General Motors at New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI), in Fremont, California, which began in 1984 and ended in 2009. It still has a joint-venture with Subaru at Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA), in Lafayette, Indiana, which started in 2006. Production on a new manufacturing plant in Tupelo, Mississippi was scheduled for completion in 2010 but is currently on indefinite hold. North America is a major automobile market for Toyota. In these assembly plants, the Camry and the Tundra are manufactured, among others.

Toyota marketing, sales, and distribution in the U.S. are conducted through a separate subsidiary, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. Toyota uses a number of slogans in its American TV commercials such as It's time to move forward, Smart way to keep moving forward, or Moving forward. It has started producing larger trucks, such as the new Tundra, to go after the large truck market in the United States. Toyota is also pushing hybrid vehicles in the US such as the Prius, Camry Hybrid, Highlander Hybrid, and various Lexus products.

Toyota has sold more hybrid vehicles in the country than any other manufacturer. Toyota is a public corporation and the company's shares are traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange. Toyota also sponsors Club Deportivo Guadalajara.

Electric technology

Toyota Prius, flagship of Toyota's hybrid technologyMain articles: Hybrid Synergy Drive and Hybrid electric vehicle

Toyota is one of the largest companies to push hybrid vehicles in the market and the first to commercially mass-produce and sell such vehicles, an example being the Toyota Prius. The company eventually began providing this option on the main smaller cars such as Camry and later with the Lexus divisions, producing some hybrid luxury vehicles. It labeled such technology in Toyota cars as "Hybrid Synergy Drive" and in Lexus versions as "Lexus Hybrid Drive."

The Prius has become the top selling hybrid car in America. Toyota, as a brand, now has three hybrid vehicles in its lineup: the Prius, Highlander, and Camry. The popular minivan Toyota Sienna is scheduled to join the hybrid lineup by 2010, and by 2030 Toyota plans to offer its entire lineup of cars, trucks, and SUVs with a Hybrid Synergy Drive option. Worldwide sales of hybrid vehicles produced by Toyota reached 1.0 million vehicles by May 31, 2007, and the 2.0

million mark was reached by August 31, 2009, with hybrids sold in 50 countries. Toyota's hybrid sales are led by the Prius, with worldwide cumulative sales of 1.43 million by August 2009. Toyota's CEO has committed to eventually making every car of the company a hybrid vehicle.

Lexus LS 600h hybrid sedan.

Lexus also has their own hybrid lineup, consisting of the GS 450h, RX 400h, and launched in 2007, the LS 600h/LS 600h L.

Toyota has said it plans to make a hybrid-electric system available on every vehicle it sells worldwide sometime in the 2010s.

Toyota and Honda have already said they've halved the incremental cost of electric hybrids and see cost parity in the future (even without incentives).

Hybrids are viewed by some automobile makers as a core segment of the future vehicle market.

Plug-in hybrids

Main article: Plug-in hybrid

Plug-in Prius concept

After General Motors announced it would produce the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid, Toyota announced that it, too, would make one. Toyota is currently testing its "Toyota Plug-in HV" in Japan, the United States, and Europe. Like GM's Volt, it uses a lithium-ion battery pack. The PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) could have a lower environmental impact than existing hybrids.

On June 5, 2008, A123Systems announced that its Hymotion plug-in hybrid conversion kits for the Prius would be installed by six dealers, including four Toyota dealerships: Westboro Toyota

Environmental record

The Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) implemented its Fourth Environmental Action Plan in 2005. The plan contains four major themes involving the environment and the corporation's development, design, production, and sales. The five-year plan is directed at the, "arrival of a revitalized recycling-based society." Toyota had previously released its Eco-Vehicle Assessment System (Eco-VAS) which is a systematic life cycle assessment of the effect a vehicle will have on the environment including production, usage, and disposal. The assessment includes, "... fuel

efficiency, emissions and noise during vehicle use, the disposal recovery rate, the reduction of substances of environmental concern, and CO2 emissions throughout the life cycle of the vehicle from production to disposal." 2008 marks the ninth year for Toyota's Environmental Activities Grant Program which has been implemented every year since 2000. Themes of the 2008 program consist of "Global Warming Countermeasures" and "Biodiversity Conservation."

Since October 2006, Toyota's new Japanese-market vehicle models with automatic transmissions are equipped with an Eco Drive Indicator. The system takes into consideration rate of acceleration, engine and transmission efficiency, and speed. When the vehicle is operated in a fuel-efficient manner, the Eco Drive Indicator on the instrument panel lights up. Individual results vary depending on traffic issues, starting and stopping the vehicle, and total distance traveled, but the Eco Drive Indicator may improve fuel efficiency by as much as 4%. Along with Toyota's eco-friendly objectives on production and use, the company plans to donate $1 million and five vehicles to the Everglades National Park. The money will be used to fund environmental programs at the park. This donation is part of a program which provides $5 million and 23 vehicles for five national parks and the National Parks Foundation. However new figures from the United States National Research Council show that the continuing hidden health costs of the auto industry to the US economy in 2005 amounted to 56 million US dollars.

The United States EPA has awarded Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc (TEMA) with a ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award in 2007, 2008 and 2009

In 2007, Toyota's Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) fleet average of 26.69 mpg-US

(8.813 L/100 km; 32.05 mpg-imp) exceeded all other major manufactures selling cars within the United States. Only Lotus Cars which sold the Elise and Exige powered by Toyota's 2ZZ-GE engine did better with an average of 30.2 mpg-US (7.79 L/100 km; 36.3 mpg-imp). In recent years, there has been some competition between Toyota, General Motors and Volkswagen for the unofficial title of 'worlds largest automobile maker' by sales volume.

Over the last decade, the company has successfully changed its image from a scooter

manufacturer to a two wheeler manufacturer. Its product range encompasses scooterettes,

scooters and motorcycles. Its real growth in numbers has come in the last four years after

successful introduction of a few models in the motorcycle segment.

The company is headed by Rahul Bajaj who is worth more than US$1.5 billion.[3]

Bajaj Auto came into existence on November 29, 1945 as M/s Bachraj Trading Corporation

Private Limited. It started off by selling imported two- and three-wheelers in India. In 1959, it

obtained license from the Government of India to manufacture two- and three-wheelers and it

went public in 1960. In 1970, it rolled out its 100,000th vehicle. In 1977, it managed to produce

and sell 100,000 vehicles in a single financial year. In 1985, it started producing at Waluj near

Aurangabad. In 1986, it managed to produce and sell 500,000 vehicles in a single financial year.

In 1995, it rolled out its ten millionth vehicle and produced and sold 1 million vehicles in a year.

According to the authors of Globality: Competing with Everyone from Everywhere for

Everything, Bajaj has grown operations in 50 countries by creating a line of value-for-money

bikes targeted to the different preferences of entry-level buyers.

BONUS SHARES The board has recommended issue of bonus equity shares to the shareholders in the proportion of one equity share of Re.1/- each for every one equity share of Re.1/- each held by them by capitalising an equivalent amount standing to the credit of the general reserve account of the Company for approval of the shareholders through Postal Ballot. The said bonus equity shares will be issued and allotted to those shareholders whose names appear in the register of members and in the beneficial

LG Corp.

ownership position held with the depositories as on the record date to be fixed later. 5. AMENDMENT TO MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION The board has approved a proposal for amendment to the capital clause of the memorandum of association of the Company for increase in the authorized share capital from Rs.25 Cr to Rs.50 Cr, in order to accommodate the increase in share capital after the proposed issue of bonus equity shares. This is subject to approval of the shareholders through Postal Ballot. The board has recommended the proposed issue of bonus equity shares to be considered and approved by the shareholders by passing appropriate resolutions through Postal Ballot process in accordance with the rules governing Postal Ballot and in order to complete the issue of bonus equity shares within two months as required under SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulation, 2009.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS Growth in two-wheeler demand will come mainly from rising population in target age and income groups and increased use of personal transport. Smaller towns are expected to contribute more to the industry growth. TVS StaR City and TVS Sport motorcycles stand to gain from this. Customer acceptance, appreciation of the new technology and positive word of mouth will result in increased sales of TVS JIVE motorcycles. Apache RTR 180 has further strengthened the Companys position in the premium segment. However it requires frequent refreshes and upgrades to remain on top of mind of younger customers. The Company has a strong presence in the sub 100cc ungeared scooter segment. The launch of TVS wego in the large scooter segment further increases the Companys growth prospects in the scooter category. OPERATIONS REVIEW Quality: The Company has significantly improved the quality of all its existing and new products. Steps have also been taken to improve the quality of after-sales service. The combination of these measures has enabled the Company to achieve best in class customer satisfaction.
