lauren fix lauren good to see you good to see you what kind of recovery are we looking at here for 2021 with an auto sales really being at an 8 year low. well there's been a lot of pent up demand for new car sales on a global basis because people weren't buying cars they were kind of sitting on what they had if you were leasing which is very common here in the u.s. people are waiting and extending their lease terms and that can be done if you're coming to the end of your lease contacting the leasing company and so that brings up to about a 1000000 cars a month being traded in and there weren't vehicles to be exchanged because there was no production or lack of components to finish production but now the parts are starting to roll in we're seeing an increase in production so 2021 vehicles will be up and i think we're going to see a pretty good year by guesstimation is based on numbers are going to be somewhere in the 16000000 range and it won't be as high as it was in 2019 but i think we're going to see a really good year for automotive and we're seeing production really vamp up again since 1901 of the sectors that have started to kind of come back to us markets forecasting a rebound in light vehicle production a 14 percent they're looking at about $84300000.00 units based on the current analysis they have now this reflects a continued recovery is right particularly when it comes to major markets china europe and here in the united states and north america do you expect this to happen . yeah i expect on a global basis you're going to see an increase in sales and we remember we had a huge hurt across the whole entire planet so because of that we were able to get product out to people and people weren't buying product as they were sitting at home and waiting now when you're done talking about china in july we saw the start of a ramp up of sales and we're starting to see a big increase especially from the month of november we're going to see china basically come back to where they were it'll be flat by the end of the year so there's a lot of sales going on on a global basis europe is a little bit behind but we're going to see a lot of increase in electric vehicles from neil from tesla from b y d and china and we're also going to see an increased sales here in the u.s. and every manufacturer is ramping up for that because they know that people really want to get new vehicles and they kind of waiting and so what you're seeing happen instead is used car sales of which last year was $41000000.00 vehicles in the u.s. in north america you will see that increase and dollar value about 10 to 15 percent with pickup trucks leading the pack followed by s.u.v.s and city and so we're seeing huge increases in used car sales and demand and we know china for example want to so we're seeing them have 8 quicker recovery rate their auto sector has been and has been pretty quick in this this week spokesman a spokeswoman for china's national development and reform commission said the year on year decrease has contract it to around 3 percent but nothing in both auto outputs and sales that's for the 1st 11 months so far is this a reflection of what we're going to hope to see across the world then. i think we're going to see a reflection across the world of of course china is going to be back up and running quicker they seem to have gotten through the pandemic they are starting to vaccinate people as vaccines become more and more popular people have more and more confidence in purchasing new vehicles and getting out there and getting back to remotely normal life europe will come behind it's going to be a little bit on the slower side but i think japan and a lot of the other asian countries will perk up much quicker we're going to see a big change for next year i think next year auto sales are going to be huge as well as the oil sector you're going to see a big increase there as well so we're hoping for a big recovery here and sooner rather than later i want to shift gears here and you mentioned electric vehicles policy makers here in the u.s. and here in washington specifically they're they're being called to help with support of these of these cars through incentives infrastructure investment president elect joe biden he's been more vocal in supporting these electric vehicles compared to what we saw under a trumpet ministration is this going to be something he pushes even more. or there's going to be a huge push for the green new deal type of. getting people to buy electric cars there isn't a big take here in the us about 2 percent is about average so it has not just been no increase because there are without coven and manufacturers are not making money on any of the vehicles they're selling there's no manufacturer to this day making money on electric vehicles they make money off of carbon credits here in the u.s. especially tesla which has bolstered there's their bottom line as you see they're getting on the s. and p. next week so that's big for them and it'll help their stock value when you're looking at a global basis of electric vehicles we have a problem with infrastructure china has the same problem there's the grid cannot support every single vehicle going electric and that's trillions and trillions of dollars to get the structure up not just that is you don't have enough charging stations right now there's around 40000 charging stations and the administration is talking about 500000 charging stations of which the grid definitely can't support it's not a connected grid it hasn't been updated in many many centuries a century just about pretty much there so have to think about if that's not updated we have to update the infrastructure in order to get the charging stations in place and who's going to fund that and the government can only fund so much of that so will be a lot of private industry involved as well one test that you said obviously they're waiting for them to join the s. and p. meanwhile traditional car companies like g.m. ford and of ca they're only about a fraction of tesla market cap is this really the future of the auto industry. well i don't think electric cars are the future of the auto industry i think it's a piece of the auto industry that's going to always be a different form of propulsion will be gas and diesel we're also going to see some new technology coming in compressed natural gas propane and you're seeing a lot of hybrids we've talked before when i was on a blue gas that's something that china has invested over $60000000000.00 and that is a combination of hydrogen and that's going to be used to charge electric vehicles as well as propel gas powered vehicles so this is some new technology we're starting to see we also have algae coming in on the forefront so start keeping your eyes open for new forms of energy and i think you're going to see a lot more of that as we move into the future we're going to see more of that in the years to come given in a bind and under the hand of ministration lauren fix the car coach thank you as always for breaking this down for us. thank you. for now you can catch my must on demand on the portable t.v. app or simply check it out a part of the t.v. and the next time. the us economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of it is that we're not financially equality and the lack of
