ASIA PACIFIC TRENDS |
LIKELY IMPACT AUSTRALIA |
|
Total vehicle production (2008) 30.4 million (44% of global sales): Japan 38% China 31% South Korea 12.5% India 7.7% Thailand 4.6% Indonesia, Malaysia 1.8% Australia 1.1% |
Increased competition will likely negatively impact on Australian vehicle manufacturer and component supplier export markets
Vehicle Imports account for 78% of passenger motor vehicle sales and rising by 2% per annum |
|
Average growth rate (2008) 4.2%: China 9.8% India 7.3% Vietnam 6.3% Australia 2.5% |
Increased demand for Australian resources in line with Government economic forecasts. |

Vehicle System |
Training Consequences |
|
Chassis System: Use of new materials (light weight steels, high strength aluminium, magnesium, composites, paints (nano technology): ü reduced weight in body chassis and components ü Improved vehicle finishing ü Reduced aerodynamic drag – body design ü Increased driver/passenger comfort – noise insulation, seat design, climate control, safety |
Traditional trades training for apprentices will be replaced by demand for underpinning knowledge and skills in electronic systems and materials technology.
Increased demand for skills training through public providers (TAFE) and industry training providers.
Increasing reliance on partnership between manufacturers and component suppliers with TAFE institutes: Teacher industrial experience Teacher professional development TAFE access to new technology
|
|
Power Train: Reduced weight (use of aluminium, magnesium, ceramics) Engine design and configuration (downsizing, boosting) Transmission design (continuous variable transmission, duel clutch transmission) Alternative fuels (clean diesel, gas (LPG, CNG, LNG), ethanol Direct fuel injection Electric drive, battery technology (lithium) Hybrid (electric, petrol/gas) Electronic controls – drive-by-wire (management systems) Emissions control |
|
|
Running Gear: New materials (ceramics, plastics) Tyre technology Electronic controls – drive-by-wire (steering, brakes, suspension, stability) |
|
|
Control Systems: Integrated intelligent transport systems (remote diagnostics) Safety management (collision avoidance) Communications (telematics, voice recognition) Security Adaptive lighting |
