Global Automotive Market - What is next
Summary:
"November auto sales were well below year-ago levels," according to a statement from Cox Automotive. "The sales pace last month was likely closer to 13 million, below our forecast of 13.4 and significantly lower than November 2020's pace of 15.9 million. Sales in November were similar to October – slow."
The chip shortage continues to constrain new-vehicle availability, Cox Automotive added. The market is very uneven right now, with some brands and products facing greater shortage than others. Notably Toyota reported significant sales drops last month due to tight inventory. Meanwhile, Ford inventory has improved since summer.
"The market is stuck in low gear," Cox Automotive senior economist Charlie Chesbrough said in a press release. "We believe there are potential buyers out there, but many are waiting on the sidelines, put off by limited selection and high prices."

Agriculture and Farm Equipment Sector| January 2022
Summary:
Last week, farmers, ranchers, and federal agency officials offered up their advice on how to do that to Congressmembers in two separate hearings. The first hearing was dedicated to the conservation programs through which the USDA pays farmers to adopt sustainable practices and take land out of production.
These programs—especially the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)—are uniquely popular among farmers and most farm and environmental advocacy groups. But the programs don’t always deliver on their promises around improving soil health or maximizing carbon sequestration.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) saw a 39% decrease in second quarter 2020 sales compared to the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic impacted FCA's sales, employees, and customers. FCA's sales dropped as leadership closed manufacturing sites, customers could no longer purchase vehicles, and employees faced reduced hours, pay cuts, and job losses. To address this, FCA offered online sales and financing programs. It prioritized retail customers over fleet sales as it worked to recover lost business. The pandemic stressed FCA's organizational commitment and its employees through changes to work conditions and financial stability concerns.

Manufacturing Sector - Canada - February 2023 and March 2023.pptx
Summary:
Canadian manufacturing sales declined 3.6% to $71.5 billion in February, following a 4.5% increase in January. The decreases were observed in 12 of 21 industries, led by the petroleum and coal product (-14.9%), motor vehicle (-12.3%) and primary metal (-4.2%) industries. Conversely, the machinery (+3.0%) and electrical equipment, appliance and component (+6.0%) industries posted the largest increases. Year over year, total sales were up 3.8% in February.
The monthly decline resulted from lower volumes and prices as sales in real terms decreased 2.4% in February and the Industrial Product Price Index edged down 0.8%

Global Automotive Market - What is next
Summary:
"November auto sales were well below year-ago levels," according to a statement from Cox Automotive. "The sales pace last month was likely closer to 13 million, below our forecast of 13.4 and significantly lower than November 2020's pace of 15.9 million. Sales in November were similar to October – slow."
The chip shortage continues to constrain new-vehicle availability, Cox Automotive added. The market is very uneven right now, with some brands and products facing greater shortage than others. Notably Toyota reported significant sales drops last month due to tight inventory. Meanwhile, Ford inventory has improved since summer.
"The market is stuck in low gear," Cox Automotive senior economist Charlie Chesbrough said in a press release. "We believe there are potential buyers out there, but many are waiting on the sidelines, put off by limited selection and high prices."

Agriculture and Farm Equipment Sector| January 2022
Summary:
Last week, farmers, ranchers, and federal agency officials offered up their advice on how to do that to Congressmembers in two separate hearings. The first hearing was dedicated to the conservation programs through which the USDA pays farmers to adopt sustainable practices and take land out of production.
These programs—especially the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)—are uniquely popular among farmers and most farm and environmental advocacy groups. But the programs don’t always deliver on their promises around improving soil health or maximizing carbon sequestration.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) saw a 39% decrease in second quarter 2020 sales compared to the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic impacted FCA's sales, employees, and customers. FCA's sales dropped as leadership closed manufacturing sites, customers could no longer purchase vehicles, and employees faced reduced hours, pay cuts, and job losses. To address this, FCA offered online sales and financing programs. It prioritized retail customers over fleet sales as it worked to recover lost business. The pandemic stressed FCA's organizational commitment and its employees through changes to work conditions and financial stability concerns.

永久可查学历认证【微信：A575476】【(QMUE毕业证书)英国爱丁堡玛格丽特女王大学毕业证成绩单Offer】【微信：A575476】（留信学历认证永久存档查询）采用学校原版纸张、特殊工艺完全按照原版一比一制作（包括：隐形水印，阴影底纹，钢印LOGO烫金烫银，LOGO烫金烫银复合重叠，文字图案浮雕，激光镭射，紫外荧光，温感，复印防伪）行业标杆！精益求精，诚心合作，真诚制作！多年品质 ,按需精细制作，24小时接单,全套进口原装设备，十五年致力于帮助留学生解决难题，业务范围有加拿大、英国、澳洲、韩国、美国、新加坡，新西兰等学历材料，包您满意。
【业务选择办理准则】
一、工作未确定，回国需先给父母、亲戚朋友看下文凭的情况，办理一份就读学校的毕业证【微信：A575476】文凭即可
二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信：A575476】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。
留信网认证的作用:
1:该专业认证可证明留学生真实身份
2:同时对留学生所学专业登记给予评定
3:国家专业人才认证中心颁发入库证书
4:这个认证书并且可以归档倒地方
5:凡事获得留信网入网的信息将会逐步更新到个人身份内，将在公安局网内查询个人身份证信息后，同步读取人才网入库信息
6:个人职称评审加20分
7:个人信誉贷款加10分
8:在国家人才网主办的国家网络招聘大会中纳入资料，供国家高端企业选择人才
→ 【关于价格问题（保证一手价格）
我们所定的价格是非常合理的，而且我们现在做得单子大多数都是代理和回头客户介绍的所以一般现在有新的单子 我给客户的都是第一手的代理价格，因为我想坦诚对待大家 不想跟大家在价格方面浪费时间
对于老客户或者被老客户介绍过来的朋友，我们都会适当给一些优惠。
选择实体注册公司办理，更放心，更安全！我们的承诺：可来公司面谈，可签订合同，会陪同客户一起到教育部认证窗口递交认证材料，客户在教育部官方认证查询网站查询到认证通过结果后付款，不成功不收费！
