SUMMARY
Despite earlier predictions, U.S. original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) managed to increase their overall sales of
automotive parts to Germany by more than 20%, and the future for
exports to Germany looks very positive. U.S. manufacturers of
aftermarket accessories and workshop equipment, however, saw
their exports to Germany decrease by approximately 5%.
The number of mergers and acquisitions between U.S. and German
companies remained high during 1998. The widely publicized
DaimlerChrysler merger is expected to be followed by further
mergers as DaimlerChrysler attempts to increase its global
sourcing and, at the same time, reduce its number of suppliers.
During 1998, German production increased by 14%, which equals
34.7% of the production within the EU and 14.1% of world
production (U.S.: 14.7%; Japan 21.2%; France 6.8%). New vehicle
registrations in Germany increased by 6%.
While U.S. imports from other foreign countries stagnated, German
exports to the United States increased dramatically (by 27%).
German vehicles accounted for 6.6% of all new passenger car
registrations in the United States. German manufacturing
facilities in NAFTA countries increased passenger vehicle
production by 39%; sales of these vehicles increased by 40%.

production by 39%; sales of these vehicles increased by 40%.
Taking production at German subsidiaries worldwide into account,
German-branded vehicles now satisfy 17% of worldwide demand.
As a result of the huge increase in new registrations of
German-made vehicles in the United States, the potential for
sales of U.S.-manufactured parts to German vehicle manufacturers
has increased enormously because German manufacturers feel
inclined to include more local content for the U.S. market.
Sales of U.S. OEM parts to DaimlerChrysler, BMW, Audi and
Porsche, as well as to German Tier One systems suppliers,
increased rapidly during 1998 and are expected to continue to do
so during 1999.

During 1998, the German market became more receptive to U.S.-made
vehicles (especially off-road). Acquisitions and mergers between
U.S. and German OEM part manufacturers have led to increased
sales of U.S.-labeled OEM parts.
Since January 1993, intra-European trade is no longer considered
international and it is difficult to obtain reliable
export/import statistics. Many U.S. systems suppliers and
component manufacturers are now based in neighboring EU countries
and, therefore, export/import figures in this report must be
considered provisional.
-- BEST SALES PROSPECTS
Over the last year, German manufacturers have increased their
production and exports dramatically, and now hold almost the same
world share as U.S. manufacturers. Although several German
15/05/00

world share as U.S. manufacturers. Although several German
automobile manufacturers are beginning to complain of over
capacity, some German parts suppliers are increasingly finding it
hard to meet demand, while U.S. parts suppliers have excess
capacity. U.S. suppliers should continue to concentrate on
approaching the purchasing departments at DaimlerChrysler, Audi,
BMW, Porsche as well as the major German Tier One suppliers.
German automobile manufacturers increased their exports to the
United States by 27% during 1998 and, because U.S. consumers like
to see U.S. content in their vehicles, feel a pressure to comply.
The move to increase local content does not only apply to OEM
parts such as used in the chassis, but also to replacement parts
such as brake and clutch parts, exhaust systems and water and oil
pumps. By using locally manufactured replacement parts, German
manufacturers not only cut their manufacturing costs, but reduce
costs for the U.S. consumer at a later date by eliminating the
logistics of supplying such parts from Europe and also the
payment of American customs duty on such parts.
The best prospects for OEM parts are:
Extruded aluminum and magnesium parts
Electronic and fiber optic systems
ABS and EPS brake systems
Catalytic converter systems
Air conditioning and associated parts
In the aftermarket sector, sales fell during 1998. The tuning
market was especially badly hit. Of all aftermarket items sold
in Germany, replacement parts accounted for 63%, chemicals/waxes
for 14%, tires for 12%, and accessories for 11%. Aftermarket
parts that continue to sell well for all types of vehicles are:
Aftermarket leather seat covers
Colorful textile carpets for summer use
Heavy-duty rubber mats for winter use
All types of chemicals and waxes
Air fresheners
Aftermarket accessories for off-road vehicles still sell very
well; the best prospects are:
Chrome bars for front and rear
Extra lights
Winches
Rear tire covers
Suspension kits to raise or lower the vehicle

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
German manufacturers dramatically increased both their production
and their exports worldwide in 1998, while manufacturers from
other countries encountered stagnating or decreasing markets.
U.S. OEM parts manufacturers were able to compete favorably in
this market and increased their exports to the German market by
20%. The DaimlerChrysler merger may have had a positive
influence on sales of Chrysler vehicles in Germany, where
DaimlerChrysler expects to double its Chrysler vehicle sales
during 1999. U.S. manufacturers supplying parts to BMW and
DaimlerChrysler production plants in the United States should now
find it easier to enter the German market.
German manufacturers appear to be leaving the rest of the world
behind in the research and development of high-tech diesel
engines, which have become super-efficient in fuel consumption.
Sales of German manufactured diesel equipped passenger vehicles
rose by 25% in Germany during 1998. DaimlerChrysler, BMW and
Audi are introducing 8-cylinder diesel engines to their luxury
classes. U.S. engine manufacturers should follow this
development closely, as there is likely to be a surge in demand
for diesel engine parts in the near future. Experts believe that
DaimlerChrysler will soon equip the light Dodge trucks (pick-ups)
and off-road vehicles with powerful diesel engines, in order to
combat sales of Japanese diesel vehicles in Africa and South
America.

U.S. manufacturers of OEM parts for heavy goods vehicles (HGV)
should keep an eye on the European market, since registration of
HGVs rose by 12% in 1998. In the same context, U.S. companies
supplying aftermarket products (especially decals, chemicals and
garments) to the trucking industry should improve their efforts
to export to Germany. Truck drivers and employees of transport
companies are probably the most pro-U.S. group in Germany, they
are strongly interested in the U.S. way of life. The sales of
HGVs over 6 tons rose by more than 20% in 1998; exports of such
vehicles to Eastern Europe increased by 52%, while exports to
other EU countries rose by 23%.
High volume passenger vehicles experienced a sales boost, with
54% of consumers opting for vehicles equipped with engines
between 1.5 and 2 liters. Sales of sub-compacts (below one
liter) rose by 31%. Sales of luxury vehicles rose by 7%. Sales
of niche vehicles rose only very slightly, with the exception of
off-road vehicles, where sales rose by 30%. Sales of
convertibles dropped by almost 9%.
Parts and accessories experienced a decline in sales - the sales
of such items have decreased by 15% since the record year 1992,
to DM 3.3 ($ 1.8) billion in 1998. It is expected to fall to DM
3 ($1.7) billion over the next years. Sales of light alloy
wheels, radios (which are now part of integral consoles as OEM
equipment in most cars) and tuning equipment have especially been
badly hit. Most accessories are now offered by manufacturers at
the time of sale and are then installed at the assembly plant,
virtually as OEM production.
Because passenger car owners find themselves more often caught in
heavy, slow traffic, they have started to place more value on
luxury interior items. U.S. manufacturers of aftermarket air
purification systems, leather seat covers, high quality hi-fi and
television systems should take advantage of this increasing
trend. An interesting move is being observed in Germany passenger vehicles are starting to be considered "household
goods" in the same necessity as the washing machine or microwave
oven. The few consumers still looking for a "thrill" are turning
to motorcycles: in 1998, each motorcycle owner bought on average
parts and accessories worth DM 1,050.00 ($583.00), versus the DM
763.00 ($424.00) that individual car owners spent on such items.
U.S. manufacturers of automotive workshop equipment compete
favorably in the German market and continue to hold over 40% of
the import market. U.S. workshop products are regarded highly by
German workshop operators, distributors and wholesalers. The
German market for workshop products is larger than the U.S.
market by more than 6,000 vehicle dealerships. There are almost
57,000 vehicle dealerships (both passenger vehicle and HGV) in
Germany, of which more than 20,000 are licensed. Such
dealerships concentrate on selling services, parts and
accessories; their revenues from such are 50/50. The average
German car dealership sells only 125 vehicles per year.
C.
END-USER ANALYSIS
The market for end-users of automotive equipment consists of two
segments: original parts (OEM equipment) and replacement parts
and accessories. Original parts are purchased directly by German
15/05/00
Página 6 de 35
and accessories. Original parts are purchased directly by German
automobile manufacturers or by their systems suppliers. Contact
information for this segment can be found in the next section
below.

MARKET ACCESS
-- MARKET ACCESS FOR U.S. MANUFACTURERS OF OEM PARTS:
Following is an informal translation of the German Automobile
Association's guide for German OEM producers. This guide provides
an excellent description of the business standards in the German
automotive industry.
(Begin informal translation)
Any agreement between automobile manufacturers and suppliers
should be cooperative and trustful, and should present rights and
duties for both sides. Both parties should share
responsibilities, opportunities and risks.
Manufacturers should inform suppliers about their strategies and
targets as early as possible in order that the suppliers can
structure their research accordingly.
Price analysis for both sides should be taken into account.
Both parties should agree on realistic price increases for
modifications, specifications or any other additional services,
and should cooperate in trying to reduce costs.
Mutual investments should be considered for expensive projects.
Settlement of accounts should be made as soon as possible after a
project has been finished.
Long-term or lifetime contracts can be made, with clauses for
exceptional cost changes, as long as all details are finalized
before the contract is signed.
Projects and construction plans must be kept secret. CAD-data
and product and technical details must not be passed to other
users. An agreement by both parties is necessary for any
exceptions.
Automobile manufacturers must respect trademarks of suppliers.
Quality standards (Q-target, Q-instruments) should be agreed on.
Control analysis and warranties should be considered.

Agents and wholesale companies formed an association, the
"INTERESSEN-GEMEINSCHAFT DER WERKSVERTRETUNGEN FUER KFZ-TEILE
15/05/00
Página 13 de 35
"INTERESSEN-GEMEINSCHAFT DER WERKSVERTRETUNGEN FUER KFZ-TEILE
e.V." (Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Dealers),
whose aim it is to advise new-to-market parts and accessories
manufacturers on marketing and sales opportunities in Germany.
U.S. suppliers should contact this association for advice and
further information concerning market conditions in Germany. (For
contact information, please see this section below, "Major Trade
Associations".)
Another association of OEM and after-market parts dealers is the
"GVA - Gesamtverband Autoteile-Handel e.V." (Association of
Automotive Parts Dealers), which works closely with foreign
manufacturers. U.S. suppliers can contact the GVA Association in
order to find qualified dealers for their particular product.
(For contact information, please see this section below, oMajor
Trade Associationso).
Sales channels used by manufacturers to reach the end-user
differ, depending on whether or not the seller has a
manufacturing presence in Germany. In general, German
manufacturers (as well as foreign companies with subsidiary
operations in Germany) use their own distribution networks.
Smaller companies without a manufacturing base in Germany usually
sell through importers, agents, or wholesalers since those
companies are familiar with local market conditions. Other
well-accepted marketing channels include cooperation, joint
venture, and licensing agreements with German manufacturers,
which then sell through their own distribution networks. Prompt
after-sales service and technical support are considered major
requirements if a foreign supplier is to be successful in this
highly sophisticated market.
Despite efforts on behalf of parts suppliers to gain
independence, the most important outlet for parts and accessories
is through automobile workshops approved by the auto
manufacturers. Therefore, U.S. companies wishing to gain an
insight into any particular network should contact the
appropriate dealer organization.

-- AUTOMOTIVE AFTERMARKET PARTS AND ACCESSORIES WHOLESALERS
15/05/00
Página 18 de 35
With respect to automotive parts and accessories, Germany must be
regarded as three separate regional markets: north, south and
east. Market experts believe that regional German business
practices and attitudes vary so much that it is not advisable, to
enter into an exclusive country-wide contract.
As the distribution path chart shows (see above D; Market
Access), the second most important network outlet to car
workshops is through accessories and parts dealers, as well as
through self-service supermarkets and do-it-yourself outlets.
Major wholesalers and distributors that use such channels and
operate throughout Germany are:

Gas stations are also trying to increase sales of spare parts.
Corporate Intelligence (a British market research company) as
well as Gas Station Associations have forecast that only those
gas stations that can increase their turnover in parts and
accessories as well as perishable goods will have a chance of
remaining in business in the future.
In January 1998, the total number of gas stations in Germany was
as follows:

For detailed information on the above gas stations, interested
U.S. companies should contact the Zentralverband des Tankstellen
und Garagengewerbes e.V. (ZTG), listed in this report under Major
Trade Associations below.
Because of environmental laws which were passed in 1995,
stipulating that gas vapor must be eliminated when filling gas
into tanks and the need to fit new vacuum nozzles to fuel pump
lines, it has not been financially worthwhile to retrofit many
gas stations. It is expected that 20% of all the above gas
stations in Germany will have ceased business by the year 2000.
-- CUSTOMS DUTIES
Customs duties for automotive parts and accessories average
15/05/00
Página 23 de 35
approximately five percent. No customs duties are levied on
imports from the European Union (EU) countries. An import
turnover tax of 17% is currently applied, which in turn is passed
on to the final customer as a value-added tax (VAT). VAT applies
equally to European and German competitors. Trade restrictions
or other non-tariff barriers (such as quotas) do not exist, but
all equipment has to comply with German (and/or European) safety
regulations and technical standards. The metric system of
weights and measures is standard in Germany.
-- TECHNICAL STANDARDS
Technical standards are defined, maintained and approved by:

-- TRADE FAIRS
Participation by U.S. companies in German trade shows is one of
the best means of finding customers in Germany and throughout
Europe. U.S. manufacturers who are not yet represented in the
European market, or those who wish to present new products,
should consider exhibiting at the following international German
trade fairs:

In 1997, a total of 1,290 exhibitors displayed their products in
ten halls covering a total exhibition area of 210,000 square
meters. Over 877,000 people visited the fair, a high percentage
of them from foreign countries.
Although originally a show for new passenger vehicles, trucks and
buses, there has been a marked increase in the display of
automotive original equipment and aftermarket accessories, as
well as workshop equipment. This biennial show is for both the
industry and the general public. In 1997, all new cars and
commercial vehicles were concentrated in and around three major
halls. The remaining seven halls were occupied by parts and
equipment manufacturers and were visited mainly by industry
buyers/representatives. For the first time ever, FCS Frankfurt
organized a catalogue exhibition stand in 1997 for U.S.
manufacturers, generating a total of 452 leads.
