    Mazda backs carbon-neutral biofuel research

    Mazda is currently involved in joint research projects and studies as part of an ongoing industry-academia-government collaboration to promote the wide-spread adoption of biofuels from microalgae growth. As part of its ‘Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030’ long-term technology development programme, the company is committed to reducing its average ‘Well-to-Wheel’ CO2 emissions to 50% of 2010 levels by 2030, and to 90% by 2050.

    Expecting that internal combustion engines combined with some form of electrification will still account for around 95% of the vehicles it produces in 2030, and that liquid fuel will remain dominant in the automotive industry until at least 2040, Mazda considers a renewable liquid fuel essential to drastic CO2 reduction. Because, when burnt, algae biofuel only releases CO2 recently removed from the atmosphere via photosynthesis as the algae grows.

    Mazda considers its development to be critical to achieving the carbon-neutrality of cars powered by the internal combustion engine. Microalgae biofuel has numerous positive attributes as a renewable liquid fuel. Algae fuels can be farmed on land unsuitable for agriculture, can be grown with minimal impact on freshwater resources, can be produced using saline and wastewater, have a high flash point, and are biodegradable and relatively harmless to the environment if spilled.

    The United States Department of Energy estimates that if algae fuel replaced all petroleum fuel in the USA, its growth would require an area equivalent to just 0.42% of the American land mass -less than one seventh of the area of corn harvest in the USA in the year 2000. Improving productivity and reducing costs are fundamental to the widespread future availability of algae biofuels. To that end, Mazda is lending research-accelerating technical support to both research into genome editing by Hiroshima University and the study of plant physiology by the Tokyo Institute of Technology, which is intended to lead to a breakthrough in these areas.

    21.920,46 +463,17 (+2,16%)

    TOKIO (AFN) - De aandelenbeurs in Japan is woensdag opnieuw met een stevige winst gesloten. Beleggers trokken zich op aan sterke bedrijfsresultaten en verwerkten het besluit van de Bank of Japan, die het zeer ruime monetaire beleid onveranderd liet. Wel verlaagde de centrale bank de inflatieverwachtingen. Ook de andere beurzen in het Verre Oosten wonnen terrein ondanks een tegenvallend Chinees industriecijfer.

    De Nikkei-index in Tokio ging 2,2 procent hoger de dag uit op 21.920,46 punten. De Japanse hoofdindex verloor desondanks in de grillige beursmaand oktober ruim 9 procent. Sony won 4,7 procent. De Japanse elektronicagigant is positiever geworden over zijn financiële prestaties dankzij sterke resultaten in het afgelopen kwartaal. Chiptester Advantest verhoogde eveneens zijn winstverwachting en werd beloond met een koerswinst van bijna 13 procent. Spelcomputermaker Nintendo zakte 0,3 procent na tegenvallende kwartaalcijfers.

    De beurs in Shanghai stond tussentijds 1,5 procent in de plus en de Hang Seng-index in Hongkong klom 1 procent. Uit cijfers van de Chinese overheid bleek dat de bedrijvigheid in de industrie van het land in oktober minder sterk is gegroeid dan verwacht.

    De All Ordinaries in Sydney eindigde 0,4 procent hoger. De Kospi in Seoul klom 0,5 procent. Zwaargewicht Samsung verloor 0,4 procent. Het Zuid-Koreaanse technologieconcern boekte een recordwinst in het afgelopen kwartaal, maar waarschuwde voor zwakkere resultaten in de toekomst.

    Japan infuriated by South Korean order of Nippon Steel to compensate WWII workers

    Reuters reported that Japan denounced South Korea's Supreme Court ruling ordering Japan's Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp must compensate four South Koreans for their forced labour during World War Two as unthinkable. The ruling prompted a swift and angry reaction from Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, speaking in parliament, said the matter had been completely and finally settled by the 1965 treaty and this verdict is a decision that is impossible in light of international law

    Foreign Minister Taro Kono, who summoned South Korean ambassador Lee Su-hoon after the verdict, said it fundamentally overturned the legal basis for bilateral friendship since the normalisation of ties in 1965. Kono told reporters he hoped Seoul would do what was needed to prevent the matter from affecting cooperation between the two US Asian allies in trying to rein in North Korea's nuclear program.

    Japanese Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kotaro Nogami told a news conference that if Seoul did not respond promptly, Tokyo would consider its options, including international arbitration.

    There are 14 similar damages lawsuits pending in court against firms including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd and Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co Ltd. A panel endorsed by the South Korean government in 2012 unveiled a list of 299 Japanese companies which it said committed "war crimes".

    JFE cuts profit outlook on severe rains and BF glitches

    Reuters reported that Japan’s No 2 steelmaker JFE Holdings cut it’s annual profit forecasts on Tuesday due to technical glitches at their plants and higher costs of electricity, distribution and subsidiary materials. JFE trimmed its recurring profit forecast for the year to March 31 to JPY 250 billion (USD 2.2 billion) from an earlier estimate of JPY 260 billion. The reduction comes as JFE now expects to produce 28 million tonnes of crude steel for the year, down from its previous plan of 29 million tonnes, due to severe rains in July and September and technical trouble at one of its three blast furnaces in western Japan.

    JFE Executive Vice President Shinichi Okada told a news conference “The No 2 furnace in Kurashiki steelworks has been shut since Oct 23 due to technical trouble, but we expect the furnace to resume operation in November and return to full operation in late December.”

    Toyota roept in Nederland 60.000 auto’s terug

    In Nederland moeten ruim 60.000 auto’s van Toyota terug naar de garage. Volgens het autoconcern zijn er technische problemen met de airbags. Het gaat om voertuigen tussen de elf en achttien jaar oud, laat een woordvoerder weten.

    Economieredactie 01-11-18, 10:00 Laatste update: 11:51

    Ruim 12.000 auto’s moeten in Nederland terug vanwege mogelijke problemen met de ontsteker van airbags van leverancier Takata. Bij bijna 48.000 andere auto’s draait het om mogelijke problemen met de airbagcomputer. Wereldwijd roept de Japanse autoreus bijna 2 miljoen auto’s terug naar de garage vanwege problemen met de airbags.

    Van de bijna 2 miljoen auto's is er bij bijna 1,1 miljoen auto’s sprake van een defect in het controlesysteem van de airbag. Daarnaast roept Toyota in Japan zelf nog bijna 300.000 wagens terug omdat de zogeheten inflator van de airbag onder bepaalde omstandigheden kapot kan gaan. Verder is er nog een terugroepactie van 600.000 auto’s vanwege problemen die betrekking hebben op de Takata-airbags.

    Door problemen bij die airbagleverancier Takata moesten er een paar jaar geleden nog vele miljoenen wagens van verschillende merken terug naar de garage. Defecten aan het airbag-opblaassysteem waarbij onder meer metaaldeeltjes door de auto konden worden gelanceerd, werden toen gelinkt aan diverse dodelijke ongelukken.

    Veiligheid
    De afgelopen kwam Toyota ook al in het nieuws met terugroepacties. De Japanse autofabrikant maakt bekend dat ruim 2 miljoen hybrides terug naar de garage moeten, inclusief de veel verkochte Prius en de Auris. Een fout in de software kan ertoe leiden dat de stroom van de auto’s uitvalt, waardoor ze stil vallen. Het gaat hier om hybrides die tussen oktober 2008 en november 2014 zijn geproduceerd. Van de 2,43 miljoen auto’s rijden er 290.000 rond in Europa, 1,25 miljoen in Japan en 830.000 in Noord-Amerika.

    In 2015 werden in Nederland 20.477 auto’s teruggeroepen voor een software-update. Het ging toen om de Prius Wagon en de Toyota Auris uit de productieperiode mei 2010 tot en met november 2014.

    21.687,65 -232,81 (-1,06%)

    TOKIO (AFN) - De Japanse aandelenbeurs is donderdag met verlies begonnen aan de nieuwe beursmaand. Vooral de Japanse telecombedrijven gingen in de uitverkoop door de vrees voor lagere winsten in de sector. Ook enkele tegenvallende bedrijfsresultaten drukten op het sentiment. Elders in het Verre Oosten gingen de beursgraadmeters omhoog.

    De Nikkei-index in Tokio sloot uiteindelijk 1,1 procent lager op 21.687,65 punten. NTT Docomo kelderde bijna 15 procent tot het laagste niveau in ruim een jaar tijd. Het Japanse telecombedrijf liet weten de tarieven flink te gaan verlagen en waarschuwde voor een negatieve impact op de winst vanaf volgend jaar. Concurrenten KDDI en Softbank raakten 16 procent en 8,2 procent kwijt.

    Het Japanse technologieconcern Panasonic verloor bijna 6 procent na een daling van de operationele winst in het afgelopen kwartaal. Yahama Motor verlaagde de winstverwachting voor het lopende boekjaar en duikelde bijna 15 procent. Murata Manufacturing, dat onderdelen maakt voor smartphones, klom daarentegen bijna 10 procent na een verhoging van de winstverwachting.

    De Hang Seng-index in Hongkong noteerde tussentijds 1,5 procent in de plus en de beurs in Shanghai ging 0,5 procent vooruit. De Kospi in Seoul zakte 0,2 procent. De All Ordinaries in Sydney sloot 0,2 procent hoger. Mijnbouwgigant BHP Billiton won 2,8 procent. Het bedrijf kondigde aan 10,4 miljard dollar terug te geven aan de aandeelhouders via inkopen van eigen aandelen en een speciaal dividend.

    Honda raises forecasts on solid motorbike sales

    Economic Times reported that Japan's Honda Motor was raising annual forecasts after first-half profits rose over 19 percent on brisk sales of motorcycles in Asia. Japan's third largest automaker now expects net profit to reach JPY 675 billion (USD 6 billion) for the fiscal year ending March, down from last year but a still an increase from its forecast last quarter. It also revised up annual sales to JPY 15.8 trillion. The company said it was seeing strong growth in the sales of motorbikes in Indonesia, Vietnam and other Asian countries, and touted cost-cutting efforts.

    It said net profit in the April-September period was up 19.3 % to JPY 455.1 billion while operating profit jumped 21.7 % to JPY 513.9 billion. Its sales rose 5.0 % to JPY 7.87 trillion.

    Mr Satoru Takada, an analyst at TIW, a Tokyo-based research and consulting firm, told AFP ahead of the results that "Honda enjoyed strong sales of motorcycles. This offset the negative impact of floods in Mexico on its production.”

    Honda was forced to temporarily halt operations at its largest auto factory in Mexico due to floods in June, and said at the time that it would lose 50 billion yen as a result.

    Japan consortium wins contract for 100MW Oman solar plant

    Construction Week Online reported that a Japanese Omani consortium has won a contract from the sultanate's state-owned oil firm, Petroleum Development Oman for a 100 MW photovoltaic solar power plant in the country's South. Works on the project, which will provide power for PDO’s interior operations, include its design, procurement, construction, commissioning, financing, operation, and maintenance, according to Oman News Agency. The Marubeni consortium, made up of Japan's Marubeni Corporation as the lead founder, Oman Gas Company, Bahwan Renewable Energy Company, and Modern Channels Services, won the bid. The plant, the first of its type in the sultanate, will be located at Amin, which lies in southern Oman in PDO’s concession area, approximately 210km northwest of the wilayat of Thumrait.

    PDO said the project's power output will be structured within an independent power producer (IPP) model under the terms of a power purchase agreement spanning 23 years.

    Speaking on the deal, Raoul Restucci, managing director of PDO, said that “We look forward to working with the Marubeni Corporation and consortium partners to build our first IPP renewable energy project, another building block in support of Oman's outstanding potential in renewable energy.”

    The move is the latest in a line of solar initiatives by PDO.

    Japanse piloot op Heathrow drinkt tien keer teveel

    Een Japanse piloot is aangehouden op het Engelse vliegveld Heathrow omdat hij liefst tien keer de toegestane hoeveelheid alcohol had gedronken. De avond voor zijn vlucht werkte hij twee flessen wijn en een pitcher bier naar binnen. Het incident vond dit weekend plaats, meldt de Japanse tv-zender NHK.

    Sander van Mersbergen 01-11-18, 20:50

    Katsutoshi Jitsukawa zou zondag met een toestel van Japan Airlines naar Tokyo vliegen, maar zover kwam het gelukkig niet. De chauffeur van een busje dat de crew vervoerde, rook een alcohollucht een waarschuwde de politie. Uit tests bleek dat de man een alcoholgehalte van 1,89 promille in zijn bloed had.

    Voor piloten in Engeland is 0,2 de limiet. En, ter vergelijking: autobestuurders zijn in Nederland strafbaar als ze een promillage van 0,5 hebben.

    Volgens de tv-zender heeft Jitsukawa toegegeven dat hij de avond van te voren twee flessen wijn (bij elkaar 1,5 liter) en een pitcher bier (1,8 liter) heeft gedronken. Hij blijft tot eind deze maand vastzitten. Op 29 november verschijnt de piloot voor de rechter.

    Hij zou 1 van de 3 piloten zijn op de vlucht naar Tokyo. Die vertrok uiteindelijk toch, met meer dan een uur vertraging.

    Ingrijpen
    De Japanse overheid gaat volgens NHK ingrijpen. Nu zijn er nog geen wettelijke alcohollimieten voor piloten: vliegtuigmaatschappijen hanteren hun eigen regels. Regelmatig gaat het mis: vorige week nog miste een andere Japanse piloot, van All Nippon Airways zijn vlucht. Ook hij had de avond van te voren fiks doorgehaald: zijn kater was te hevig om te kunnen werken.

    Ook op Schiphol werd deze zomer een piloot aangehouden omdat hij gedronken had. Hij had een promillage van 0,26, waar 0,2 is toegestaan. De piloot werkte voor ‘een buitenlandse luchtvaartmaatschappij'.

    TOKIO (AFN) - De aandelenbeurs in Japan is vrijdag met een stevige winst geëindigd. De opmerkingen van de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump, die zei een goed gesprek te hebben gehad met zijn Chinese collega Xi Jinping, zorgden voor hoop op een spoedig einde van het handelsconflict tussen beide landen. Ook op de meeste andere beurzen in het Verre Oosten werden flinke winsten geboekt.

    De toonaangevende Nikkei-index in Tokio ging 2,6 procent hoger het weekeinde in op 22.243,66 punten. De maker van geautomatiseerde fabrieksmachines Keyence dikte ruim 11 procent aan na een verhoging van het dividend.

Ook de Japanse toeleveranciers aan de Amerikaanse techgigant Apple stonden onder druk na tegenvallende vooruitzichten van de iPhone-maker.

    De Hang Seng-index in Hongkong boekte een tussentijdse winst van 3,6 procent en de beurs in Shanghai kreeg er 2,1 procent bij. Volgens ingewijden wil Trump tijdens de G20-bijeenkomst in Argentinië eind november een handelsdeal tekenen met China. De Kospi in Seoul ging 3,5 procent vooruit en de All Ordinaries in Sydney eindigde met een plusje van 0,1 procent.

    Honda and GAC Group JV to build Chinese plant for new-energy cars

    Reuters reported that Honda Motor Co's joint venture with GAC Group will invest CNY 3.27 billion (USD 469 million) in new-energy vehicle production in China. The Honda-GAC joint venture will build a new plant with capacity to produce 170,000 new-energy vehciles a year, the filing said. New-energy vehicles include all electric battery cars as well as plug-in hybrid vehicles.

    A source close to the joint venture said that the plan envisages Japan's Honda producing GAC's Trumpchi GS4, a battery powered compact SUV, to sell through Honda outlets operated with GAC.

    The Honda-produced car is likely to be sold with the Trumpchi badge rather than Honda's, the source said, declining to be named because he is not authorised to speak on the matter.

    It is a highly unusual arrangement but provides a quick way to meet Beijing’s requirements for such vehicles to represent 10 percent of an auto manufacturer’s production by 2019.

    Mazda sale update for first 6 months

    Global retail volume for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 was 796 thousand units, up 1.7 % year on year, a record high for the first six months of any year, owing to the solid sales of crossover models such as Mazda CX-5 and Mazda CX-8 in global markets, as well as with the effect of launch of updated products. By market, the sales in Japan and the ASEAN market such as Thailand and Vietnam, significantly contributed to growth in global retail volume.

    Retail volume by market was as follows.
    Japan
    Retail volume was 103 thousand units, up 6.7 % year on year, due to the contribution of the CX-8 which remained strong since the introduction, as well as the high level of sales volume of the CX-5 which was equivalent to the previous year.

    North America
    Despite a difficult condition in the sedan market, any impact in that segment was offset by brisk sales of the all crossover models in the U.S., where retail volume was 151 thousand units and equivalent to the previous year. For North America as a whole, retail volume was 222 thousand units, up 1.6 % year on year, with increased sales volume in Canada and Mexico.

    Europe
    Although the sales declined in Germany, European retail volume was 135 thousand units, up 2.4 % year on year due to the increased sales in Russia significantly outpacing the market’s growth, and also year-on-year growth, in the other markets like Spain. By model, robust sales were recorded for the CX-5.

    China
    Retail volume was 133 thousand units, down 10.6 % year on year due to the reduction in sales of major models including Mazda3, being impacted by the market environment weakening from the demand slowdown.

    Other markets
    Retail volume in total was 202 thousand units, up 8.5 % year on year. In the key market of Australia, although retail volume was 56 thousand units, down 5.2 % year on year, the CX-5 continued to sell well, and the newly launched CX-8 got off to a solid start. In the ASEAN market, the sales in Thailand and Vietnam were strong, and also in other markets such as Chile with record sales.

    Financial performance on a consolidated basis for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 was as follows. Net sales amounted to JPY 1,729.1 billion, an increase of JPY 72.5 billion or 4.4 % compared to the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year mainly due to the increased sales and vehicle mix improvement.
