Mexican auto suppliers strategize for NAFTA talks


MEXICO CITY — President Donald Trump has made an example out of global automakers that produce in Mexico for the U.S. But auto parts makers south of the border also have a huge financial stake in the upcoming trade talks.

Suppliers here are maintaining a united front with the Mexican auto industry, but the parts community also has strategies for a favorable revision of the North American Free Trade Agreement, industry officials said at a conference here this month.

"The auto parts industry that exports to the U.S. is bigger in terms of sales than all the autos and all the heavy trucks that we sell to the U.S.”, said Oscar Albin, executive president of Mexico's National Auto Parts Manufacturing Association.

In raw numbers, he said, auto parts exports to the U.S. last year were worth about $63 billion vs. $42 billion for light vehicles and $7.5 billion for heavy trucks. About 80 percent of the $80 billion Mexican parts industry's output ends up at U.S. auto factories, while only about 12 percent is sold at home, according to figures from Albin's industry group.

One possible way to expand the pie for North American players, Albin suggested, is finding ways to reduce the participation of supplier nations that contribute little to the NAFTA bloc.

For example, North American countries imported about $78 billion in auto parts last year from China, Japan, Germany and South Korea. Because Japanese, German and Korean automakers make cars in the region, those imports are understandable, Albin said.

It's harder to justify the $30 billion of imported Chinese parts, Albin said. Replacing some of those imports could be an opportunity to create jobs in North America, he said.

Common Starting Issues in Trucking Applications---Part 3



Alternator

If your batteries were not at full charge, your alternator capacity may not be up to the needs of your rig. How old is it? A standard brushed alternator is good for 100-150,000km, a long brush alternator up to 300,000km and we have seen brushless alternators last for over a million kilometres. You get what you pay for. Also if you’re hauling more than one trailer or have additional lighting or other load on your electrical system, the standard alternator output may not be sufficient to run your truck and adequately charge your batteries. Providing you have a quality brand alternator, you can trust the claimed output, and your auto electrician should be able to work out your requirements. If your alternator is running at or near capacity just to run your truck, there’s a fair chance it’s not getting the chance to charge your batteries between starts. But remember, before you invest in a high output alternator, check the wiring for size. Most truck manufacturer’s use the narrowest cable they can get away with so there’s a chance your new high output alternator may be wasted on undersized cabling.

Wiring

It is amazing how many electrical problems are caused by simple wiring issues. Undersized cable is often at fault, or it can be poor quality or corroded terminals. Remember any voltage drop over half a volt is a problem. Finding voltage drop is easy and fixing it is often just a matter of increasing your cable size.

Battery Switch

Battery master switches are common in many heavy duty applications and intelligent battery switches and rollover devices are mandatory in fuel haul vehicles. The quality of the battery switches in the Australian market varies wildly, and we have seen switches with well over half a volt of voltage drop across the terminals. Look for a quality battery switch with less than 0.1V voltage drop across the main contacts.

Bosch plans acquisition of Albertini Cesare S.p.A. in Italy



Stuttgart – Bosch intends to acquire all shares in the Italian company Albertini Cesare S.p.A. Albertini is a manufacturer of die-cast aluminum and produces cast housings primarily for the automotive industry, including for electric steering systems. The company is headquartered in Villasanta, near Milan, and currently employs more then 400 people at two locations in northern Italy. With the acquisition of Albertini, Bosch is securing its ability to reliably supply cast parts for its electric steering systems in the future. Cast housings are an essential component of electric steering systems.

We are confident that local production will pick up speed again quickly. Our goal is to once again supply all our customers fully and with a high standard of quality,said Dr. Dirk Hoheisel, member of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH.“For this, we are relying on the competence and dedication of our associates in Italy.”

The plan is to integrate Albertini into Bosch’s Automotive Steering division. The division employs around 15,000 associates in twelve countries, where it develops steering-system solutions for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

The plan is subject to approval by the antitrust authorities. The former owner will be withdrawing from the company at the earliest possible opportunity. It has been agreed that the details of the agreement will not be disclosed.
