Press Release Summary: The increasing wealth of urban Chinese is turning the scale
in favor of SUVs in the country and RNCOS study predicts the segment to see more
growth in coming years.

Press Release Body: The demand for luxury cars (SUVs) has been growing at a
blistering pace in China since 2004. Particularly the demand for SUVs radically
gathered momentum in the country last year, reaching around 360,000 Units, an
increment of more than 50% from 2006. And according to “China Automobile
Sector to 2010”, a new research study by RNCOS, the rapidly growing earning
power of urban people will further expand the consumer base for this segment of the
auto industry in coming years in China.

We believe that with high economic growth, the average per head disposable income in
China climbed by over 116% in 2007 from 2001, raising the hopes of new working urban
and middle class population. Also, Chinese people spend a large share of their
disposable income on transportation and communication, and this share is
continuously growing, pointing towards the fact that people are now becoming more
attracted towards this auto segment.

Moreover, SUVs are particularly known for their high fuel consumption rate; as a
result, only rich urban population can afford to bear the high operating cost. Thus,
the report forecasts the SUV sales to run at a CAGR of around 20% from 2008 to 2010
due to increasing support from the rich and affluent Chinese people, and large scale
promotion of auto shows.

SUV is just one segment of the auto industry discussed extensively in “China
Automobile Sector to 2010”. This report provides a detailed study on other
important auto segments also, including LCVs, HCVs, passenger cars and two-wheelers
(motorcycles), together with auto component market. It gives an analytical study on
the factors that are pushing growth into the market, like consumer groups and steel
industry. It tracks the market developments and analyzes the opportunities in
various verticals to map out the future direction of the market.

The past and current data given in this research is supplemented by forecast on
vital segments of the China’s auto industry, like premium for passenger cars,
auto steel demand, automobile production, structure of automobile production,
passenger car stock and sales of passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
