SUMMARY
Global energy polices and high fuel prices are driving automakers in Latin
America towards being environment friendly. Favored by governmental support,
research and development, abundance of raw materials, automakers in potential
markets such as Brazil, Peru and Columbia have begun to increase the use of
ethanol as alternate fuel to reduce costs and environmental impact. Automakers
in the region have begun to manufacture ethanol-driven hybrid-electric
vehicles (HEVs) and vehicles based on flex-fuels and have begun to revamp
production processes to reduce costs and carbon footprints.
In addition, driven by increasing presence of international automakers,
varying market conditions such as improving economic conditions in markets
such as Argentina, Chile and Peru, currency appreciation in large markets such
as Brazil, slowdown in the US economy affecting markets such as Mexico due to
its geographic proximity to the country, automakers in Latin America have
begun to develop differential pricing and promotional strategies to maintain
demand levels and remain competitive.
