The French authorities consider that the PSA Group has taken all the measures needed to achieve its target of 50 % of sales outside Europe in 2015: opening a third plant and new dealerships in China, renewing the range of vehicles marketed in Latin America, launching two models specifically to be sold outside Europe and lastly, as part of the alliance with GM, developing a joint platform for marketing segment B vehicles in Europe and jointly developing a new generation of small economical petrol engines and vehicle projects in Latin America, Russia and other growth markets.
Cilj projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2C je posledično nadoknaditi tehnološko zaostajanje skupine pri sistemih hibridizacije;
ON THE ROLE PLAYED BY THE 50CO2CARS PROJECT IN RESTORING THE PSA GROUP'S VIABILITY
drugič, menijo, da bo projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 skupini PSA omogočil potrebna sredstva, da bo lahko nadoknadila zaostajanje, saj bo z njegovo pomočjo razrešila številne tehnološke težave, povezane s hibridno tehnologijo:
On the coherence of the 50CO2Cars project with the PSA Group restructuring plan
motorji s kompresijskim vžigom, ki so bili razviti v okviru projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2, bodo omogočili doseganje emisij CO2 v višini [50–70]* g/km v segmentu B (vozila z močjo med 40 in 70 kW) kljub morebitni izključni uporabi tehnologije start stop, tako da bi PSA do obdobja 2017–2018 lahko imela paleto dizelskih vozil z nizko porabo in ravnjo emisij, ki bi bila primerljiva z ravnjo emisij njenih konkurentov na evropskem trgu,
The French authorities stress that the major R&D efforts within the 50CO2Cars project are intended to get to grips with a technology that will make diesel more environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient.
inteligentni dvosklopčni menjalnik eDCT bo omogočal optimizacijo energetskega delovanja hibridnega pogonskega sistema in bo združljiv s širokim razponom moči različnih električnih naprav.
This R&D project will therefore help to implement a strategy to reverse the downward trend in sales of diesel vehicles.
Skupina PSA bo s standardizacijo popravila svoje tehnološko zaostajanje,
Diesel vehicles are at present an important source of revenue for the PSA Group: in 2012, [60-80]* % of the vehicles sold by PSA in Europe were fitted with this type of engine.
v zvezi s sistemom hibridizacije bo projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 poleg tega popolnoma spremenil stroške zaradi najmanjše energetske zasnove (akumulator in močnostna elektronika) in optimizacije mehanske zgradbe (povezava med električnimi napravami in pogonskim sistemom).
PSA has an optimal industrial base, a good brand image and a substantial profit level for this type of vehicle, which is better than for its petrol engines.
Podobno bo standardizacija sistema hibridizacije omogočila povečanje obsega proizvedenih vozil in dostopnosti v segmentu B;
It is not, however, being helped by the current context: the ongoing worsening of the image of these engines in Europe, changes to the regulatory and normative framework (Euro VI) which could entail a surcharge on diesel, but not petrol, engines and thus deter people from buying diesel engines, especially as the strategy of downsizing [34] to comply with standards that has so far been implemented has gone as far as it can and some States or local authorities are planning to adopt a tax system that penalises diesel.
tretjič, francoski organi upoštevajo tudi morebitni obrat v strategiji, ki vključuje nadaljnje izvajanje projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2 ob ukinitvi priključne hibridizacije.
PSA considers that the margin losses connected with the replacement of diesel sales by petrol sales in the European market would be some EUR [500-700]* million.
V zvezi s tem poudarjajo, da tehnologiji (blaga in priključna) nimata niti istega obsega niti istega tržnega učinka.
At a time when the purchasing power of households is declining and consumers have growing ecological concerns, maintaining the competitiveness and brand image of diesel engines (in comparison with petrol engines) is a primary objective for the PSA Group.
Medtem ko bi cena slednjo [38] omejila na vrhunska vozila (z večjim odstopanjem od podobe blagovne znamke, zlasti med podjetniškimi strankami), bi dostopnost prve omogočila širši nabor ciljnih družbenih skupin (z nizkim ali srednjim dohodkom) in tako zadovoljila večji delež strank skupine.
As the price levels of existing diesel hybrid vehicles are not compatible with mass marketing, major investment in R&D is needed to make this technology available as widely as possible.
Francoski organi poudarjajo, da se ti tehnologiji medsebojno ne izključujeta in da je bila skupina PSA sprva naklonjena razvoju obeh, da bi povezala prodajo vrhunskih priklopnih hibridnih vozil s prodajo cenovno dostopnih hibridnih vozil v segmentih B in C. Ukinitev priklopne hibridne tehnologije kot izravnalni ukrep zato ne pomeni „obrata v strategiji“, temveč ukinitev uspešne tržne dejavnosti, ki ne ogroža ponovne vzpostavitve uspešnega poslovanja skupine.
By making diesel fuel more competitive and providing it with a better image, the 50CO2Cars project could, in the view of the French authorities, play a positive part in restoring viability, by maintaining not just sales of diesel vehicles by the PSA Group, but also its margins.
Projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 je pomemben del načrta prestrukturiranja, zaradi česar so francoski organi prepričani o skladnosti strategije hibridizacije, ki je predlagana v načrtu prestrukturiranja.
If the industrialisation plan were ultimately to be successful, the 50CO2Cars project technology would offer a major reservoir for growth in an emerging market by 2020.
Usklajenost sredstev, ki se izvajajo za projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2, s preostalim načrtom prestrukturiranja
Grasping the opportunity to capitalise on the potential outlets for diesel mild-hybrid engines at the end of the restructuring plan would make it possible to secure turnover by diversifying into a promising segment which is part and parcel of the Group's core business (mass produced vehicles).
Po mnenju francoskih organov je prilagoditev industrijske baze skupine PSA izvajanju projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2 bistveni del pristopa načrta prestrukturiranja.
On the need for investment, the French authorities draw a line between the proposed reduction of investment ‘as a compensatory measure’ to limit the extent of the distortions of competition linked to the State aid, and the continuation of the R&D investment that the enterprise needs to ‘restore its viability in the long term’.
Zlasti standardizacija pogonskih sistemov in menjalnikov v dizelskih vozilih skupine bi morala omogočiti racionalizacijo in optimizacijo proizvodnih sredstev:
The French authorities stress that, in its decision-making practice, the Commission has accepted on a number of occasions that a firm's viability could be restored by launching new products in order to increase turnover [35].
na področju motorjev s kompresijskim vžigom je bila v obratih Trémery in Douvrin izvedena naložba v višini [100–200]* milijonov EUR, tj. [0–5]* % naložbe v višini [10–20]* milijard EUR, ki je predvidena v načrtu prestrukturiranja, in delež, za katerega francoski organi menijo, da je „zelo skromen, če ne celo nepomemben“.
The authorities point out that PSA would be forced, if there were no specific State aid for the 50CO2Cars project in the restructuring plan, to implement a ‘counterfactual’ project.
Ta finančni vpliv je od novembra 2012 vključen tudi v srednjeročni načrt skupine PSA in v posodobljeno različico dokumenta, zaradi česar francoski organi menijo, da je ta naložba bistveni del pristopa načrta prestrukturiranja, kakor je bil priglašen.
As it cannot on its own overcome the technological obstacles and would not be able to work on 50CO2Cars with its chosen partners, the Group would have to restrict its investment solely to the minimum necessary to ensure that its diesel engines comply with the regulatory changes.
Glede učinka na sektor naj bi ukrepi spremenili [39] obstoječo zmogljivost proizvodnje dizelskih vozil, pri čemer naj bi se obdržal isti obseg: medtem ko se proizvodna zmogljivost, ki naj bi bila dovolj velika za pričakovanih [ 100000–200000] vozil v tej fazi ob koncu projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2, ne bo povečala, se bo del proizvodnega aparata v segmentu s presežno zmogljivostjo prenesel v segment, kjer zmogljivost morda ni popolnoma izkoriščena, saj je še v razvoju (notranja arbitraža v korist privlačnim proizvodom);
The French authorities stress in this respect that the intervention by the public authorities does not just provide the PSA Group with financial support for the successful completion of the 50CO2Cars project, but also makes it possible for the Group to rally together a consortium of partners (industrial firms, associations, research laboratories, etc.) whose coordinated efforts are needed to resolve the technological obstacles standing in the way of the development of a low-cost diesel hybrid engine.
v zvezi z menjalniki francoski organi podpirajo mišljenje iz uvodne izjave 202 sklepa o začetku postopka: če bo projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 uspešen, bo proizvodnja, za katero se zdaj uporabljajo zunanji viri, začela potekati znotraj skupine [40].
They contend that, in all likelihood, a failure to approve the State aid to the PSA Group as leader of 50CO2Cars would call this project into question not just for the Group, but also for all its partners.
Potrebne naložbe, ki so že vključene v načrt prestrukturiranja, kakor je bil priglašen, so vključene tudi v posodobljeni srednjeročni načrt.
A counterfactual strategy of replacing diesel by petrol would entail additional costs and involve major industrial risks: expertise in diesel would have to be given up, sales would be lost during the transitional period and resources would have to be found to adapt and streamline the Group's production system for petrol engines by drawing on resources which are needed to restore viability.
Francoski organi menijo, da je ta strategija notranje proizvodnje združljiva s ponovno vzpostavitvijo uspešnega poslovanja skupine.
In short, the French authorities consider that the 50CO2Cars project is necessary both to keep the PSA Group's core industrial activity (diesel engines) profitable and to enable the PSA Group's viability to be restored by giving it the wherewithal for growth following restructuring (new range of innovative and profitable vehicles).
S finančnega vidika bo operacija pomenila, da se bo marža dosegala znotraj skupine ter se bo skupina osvobodila valutnih tveganj glede Japonske [41] in logističnih stroškov/zamud, ne da bi se oslabila zmožnost skupine PSA hitrega prilagajanja povpraševanju;
This investment in R&D is therefore fully in line with the targets of the restructuring plan.
poleg tega naložbe, povezane s sistemi hibridizacije, med obdobjem načrta prestrukturiranja znašajo [40–50] milijonov EUR, tj. manj kot [0–5] % načrtovanih skupnih naložb, kar je delež, ki se zdi francoskim organom zelo nizek.
On the Commission's doubts in its opening decision
Zadevajo tudi nastajajoči trg (za katerega zato ne obstaja presežna zmogljivost).
The French authorities understand from the opening decision that the Commission, taking the view that the PSA Group is allegedly lagging behind in the R&D field, considers that the 50CO2Cars project ‘is necessary to restore the viability of the PSA Group only in so far as it may help the Group to offset its backwardness in R&D in comparison with its competitors’.
Zato so bistveni del pristopa skupine PSA iz načrta prestrukturiranja.
They contest the very principle of this finding.
Pozitivni vpliv na prodajo in donosnost skupine
First, the French authorities reiterate that the 50CO2Cars project can help to restore the Group's viability: restoring the environmental image of diesel vehicles; new consumer dynamic (concept of hybrid vehicles available as widely as possible); reservoir for growth at the end of the restructuring plan.
Po mnenju francoskih organov bi projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 pripomogel k večji dinamiki prodaje in donosnosti skupine PSA po načrtu prestrukturiranja:
Second, the structural handicap in terms of R&D, which the notification cites as an explanation for some of the PSA Group's difficulties, lies in the fact that the Group is lagging behind in component standardisation, thereby reducing the productivity of R&D efforts in comparison with those of competitors (scale effect).
v odziv na vprašanja, ki jih je izpostavila Komisija v uvodnih izjavah 210 in 211 sklepa o začetku postopka (o smiselnosti strategije, ki daje prednost motorjem s kompresijskim vžigom pred bencinskimi motorji) ter uvodni izjavi 216 (o poslovnem načrtu za projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 in zanesljivosti z njim povezanih predpostavk), francoski organi menijo, da je izbrana strategija industrijsko sprejemljiva in bo pozitivno vplivala na prodajo skupine.
The 50CO2Cars project should make it possible to remedy this situation, in so far as:
Namesto razvoja nizkocenovne tehnologije hibridizacije za bencinske motorje je bolj zaželena prvotna naložba v izboljšanje ekološke in energetsko učinkovite podobe dizelskih vozil, da se najprej „presežejo pomisleki potrošnikov“, nato pa se rezultati projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2 prilagodijo [42] bencinskim motorjem, ki jih bodo dobavitelji komponent lahko pošiljali po svetu, zaradi česar bo naložba na podlagi ekonomij obsega donosnejša.
first, the 50CO2Cars project will improve the standardisation of some automotive components, in particular the powertrain,
Smiselnost strategije, ki jo predvideva PSA, temelji tudi na tržni analizi, vse to pa kaže [43] na rast prodaje dizelskih vozil v prihodnjih letih;
second, the circumstances in which the 50CO2Cars project is being run will make the PSA Group's R&D efforts more productive, in particular as a result of the synergies offered by coordinated work with various partners, and also follow-up by the public authorities awarding the aid.
v zvezi s finančnim vplivom projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2 so francoski organi predložili poslovni načrt, ki temelji na predpostavkah, o katerih se strinjajo različni članki v medijih in ki vključujejo napovedani pretok sredstev do leta 2026 (ki je upravičen glede na prihodnje posodobitve in nadomestitev standardov EURO VI v tistem času).
Third, and in particular, the French authorities object to the ‘legally new’ nature of the criterion that the Commission adduces in recital 169 of the opening decision, based on the PSA Group's backwardness in the R&D field.
Delo, povezano z R in R v okviru projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2, bo potekalo med letoma 2013 in 2017, prve motorje bo mogoče tržiti med sredino leta 2016 in začetkom leta 2017, gospodaren sistem hibridizacije pa bo sledil kmalu zatem.
They consider that the arguments adduced so far are enough to prove the positive contribution that the 50CO2Cars project will make to restoring the Group's viability.
Pri izračunu donosnosti sta bili uporabljeni dve diskontni meri ([10–13]* % oziroma [13–15]* %), pri čemer druga bolj upošteva nedavno povečanje stroškov financiranja.
It is only as a subsidiary issue that they therefore examine the question of whether such a criterion is met in the case at issue:
V patentiranje nekaterih rezultatov projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2 niso bili vključeni prihodki.
Technological backwardness in hybridisation technologies
Poleg tega so bili obseg in tržne cene novih motorjev s kompresijskim vžigom in hibridnih pogonskih sistemov ocenjeni glede na različne scenarije: scenarij „A“, po katerem se projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 izvaja z državno pomočjo in po katerem bi prodaja hibridnih vozil pomenila dodatno maržo, ocenjeno med [200–300]* EUR in [300–400]* EUR glede na izbrano tehnologijo (nad maržo v višini [2000–3000]* EUR za proizvajalca po prodaji vozila v segmentu B); scenarij „B“, po katerem se projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 izvaja brez državne pomoči in po katerem so marže enake kot po scenariju A, pri čemer organi poudarjajo, da je to izmišljen scenarij, ki ga skupina PSA ne bi mogla doseči (in je predstavljen zgolj za namene teoretične primerjave); hipotetični scenarij „C“, po katerem se namesto projekta Avtomobili 50 CO2, ki se ne izvaja, izvaja alternativni projekt, v okviru katerega so dodatne marže manjše (med [100–200]* EUR in [200–300] EUR).
According to the French authorities, this criterion of backwardness in the R&D field is met for the following three reasons:
Na podlagi teh predpostavk je razlika v neto sedanjih vrednostih [44], ki se izračunajo za proizvode „eDCT“ in „motor/prosti tek“, naslednja:
first, they point out that the three technological building blocks of the 50CO2Cars project cover fields in which the PSA Group continues to lag behind:
Tabela 15
in the case of diesel vehicles, the Group is lagging behind in technologies to limit engine consumption.
Finančni kazalniki za projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2
This is precisely the field targeted by the 50CO2Cars project,
Skupina PSA
in the case of transmissions, the PSA Group is lagging behind in the field of dual clutch transmissions (DCT), largely because of a traditional preference for driven or automatic gearboxes (‘BVMP’), whereas this technology has proven to be less commercially successful than its rival.
(primerjava glede na „hipotetični“ scenarij C)
The 50CO2Cars project will therefore make it possible for the Group to catch up as regards both DCT and eDCT transmissions,
Scenarij A
in the case of hybridisation systems, the PSA Group is lagging behind in the development of an affordable hybridisation technology which is generic enough to be mass produced.
(projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2Cars ob pomoči)
Rival manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda or VAG [36] have (or will soon have access to) generic hybridisation technologies which are therefore better suited to mass production.
Scenarij B*
The French authorities agree in this respect with the Commission's initial comment (in recital 187 of the opening decision) that the existing Stop & Start micro-hybridisation technology [37] is not enough to place it at ‘the technological cutting-edge of CO2 gains’, which requires the successful development of a mild- or full-hybrid technology.
(projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2Cars brez pomoči)
Consequently, the aim of the 50CO2Cars project is to make up for the Group's technological backwardness in hybridisation systems;
[10–13]*-odstotna neto sedanja vrednost
second, they consider that the 50CO2Cars project will give the PSA Group the wherewithal to make up for its backwardness, by resolving a number of the technological problems raised by hybrid technology:
[0–10] milijonov EUR
the diesel engines developed by the 50CO2Cars project will make it possible to achieve CO2 emissions of [50-70]* g/km in segment B (vehicles of a power of between 40 and 70 kW), even if sole use is made of the Stop & Start technology, so that PSA could have, by 2017-18, a low-consumption diesel range with an emission level comparable to that of its competitors in the European market,
[60–70] milijonov EUR
the dual clutch eDCT intelligent transmission will make it possible to optimise the energy performance of the hybrid powertrain and will be compatible with a wide power range of different electrical machinery.
[13–15]*-odstotna neto sedanja vrednost
Standardisation will enable the PSA Group to remedy its technological backwardness,
[50–60] milijonov EUR
lastly, as regards the hybridisation system, the 50CO2Cars project will revolutionise costs because of both the minimal energy sizing (battery and power electronics) and the optimisation of the mechanical architecture (coupling between the electrical machinery and the powertrain).
[90–100] milijonov EUR
Similarly, the standardisation of the hybridisation system will make it possible to increase the volumes produced and thus make it more accessible in segment B;
Motor/prosti tek
In this respect, they stress that the two technologies (‘mild-hybrid’ and ‘plug-in’) do not have the same scope or the same commercial impact.
[20–30] milijonov EUR
While its price would limit the latter [38] to premium vehicles (with a major spin-off in terms of brand image, especially among corporate customers), the accessibility of the former makes it possible to target a wide range of social groups (low- to middle-income) and therefore to satisfy a wider proportion of the Group's customers.
Francoski organi sklepajo, da je relativna donosnost scenarija B ne glede na izbrano tehnologijo v primerjavi s scenarijem C vedno negativna, zaradi česar projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 brez javne podpore „preprosto ne more biti uspešen“.
The French authorities stress that these two technologies are not mutually exclusive and that the PSA Group was initially keen to develop both of them in order to combine sales of premium hybrid plug-in vehicles with sales of affordable hybrid vehicles in segments B and C. Discontinuing the hybrid plug-in technology as a compensatory measure is not therefore an ‘about-turn in strategy’ but the discontinuation of a commercially viable activity that does not compromise the Group's return to viability.
Zelo omejena narava neto sedanjih vrednosti, ki so bile dosežene po scenariju A (zmerno pozitivne v primerjavi s scenarijem C po [10–13]*-odstotni diskontni stopnji, negativne po [13–15]*-odstotni diskontni stopnji), kaže, da so te ravni relativne donosnosti sorazmerne s ciljem razvoja prve generacije inovacij;
The 50CO2Cars project has a full part to play in the restructuring plan and the French authorities therefore consider that the strategy on hybridisation proposed in the restructuring plan is entirely coherent.
poleg tega projekt Avtomobili 50 CO2 zajema štiri vrste tveganja, ki bi jih načrtovana državna pomoč večinoma izravnala:
The coherence of the resources implemented for 50CO2Cars with the rest of the restructuring plan
regulativna tveganja, povezana z novim ciklom homologacije dizelskih vozil,
According to the French authorities, adapting the PSA Group's industrial base to implement the 50CO2Cars project is part and parcel of the restructuring plan's approach.
tehnološka tveganja pri reševanju tehnoloških težav zaradi razvoja cenovno dostopne blage tehnologije hibridizacije,
Standardising the powertrains and transmissions of the Group's diesel vehicles should in particular make it possible to rationalise and optimise production resources:
poslovna tveganja, povezana z ravnanjem potrošnikov in njihovo občutljivostjo za okoljske probleme,
in the area of diesel engines, an investment of EUR [100-200]* million has been made at the Trémery and Douvrin plants, i.e. [0-5]* % of the EUR [10-20]* billion of the investment for which the restructuring plan makes provision, a proportion which the French authorities consider to be ‘particularly modest, if not insignificant’.
finančna tveganja, zlasti v povezavi z omejitvami dostopne likvidnosti skupine PSA.
This financial impact has also been included in the PSA Group's MTP since November 2012, and is included in the updated version of the document, and the French authorities therefore consider that this investment is part and parcel of the approach taken by the restructuring plan as notified.
O IZRAVNALNIH UKREPIH
In terms of industrial impact, the measures are intended to modify [39] existing diesel vehicle production capacity while keeping the perimeter the same: while there will be no increase in production capacity which is considered sufficient for the [ 100000-200000] vehicles anticipated at this stage at the end of the 50CO2Cars project, part of the production apparatus of a segment with excess capacity will be given over to a segment where capacity is potentially not being fully used because it is in development (internal arbitrage in favour of attractive products);
SPLOŠNE PRIPOMBE O OPREDELITVI NAČRTOVANIH UKREPOV KOT SPLOŠNIH IZRAVNALNIH UKREPOV IN NJIHOVEM OBSEGU
as regards transmissions, the French authorities endorse the line of reasoning in recital 202 of the opening decision: if the 50CO2Cars project is successful, production which is currently outsourced will take place in-house [40].
Francoski organi menijo, da Komisija v sklepu o začetku postopka ne poda natančne ocene domnevnih izkrivljanj konkurence.
The investment needed, already included in the restructuring plan as notified, is also included in the updated MTP.
Izravnalni ukrepi, ki jih predlaga skupina PSA, so zato ustrezni že sami po sebi.
