“…1 Due to a relatively large technology gap in high-tech industries, domestic high-tech firms may not possess the capabilities required to reverse engineer and successfully adapt MNEs' technologies. The large technology gap may force MNEs to use their established global supply chains rather than host-country firms, thus decreasing the effects of spillovers (Hatani, 2009). …”

This paper presents a model for the projection of Chinese vehicle stocks and road vehicle energy demand through 2050 based on low-, medium-, and high-growth scenarios. To derive a gross-domestic product (GDP)-dependent Gompertz function, Chinese GDP is estimated using a recursive dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. The Gompertz function is estimated using historical data on vehicle development trends in North America, Pacific Rim and Europe to overcome the problem of insufficient long-running data on Chinese vehicle ownership. Results indicate that the number of projected vehicle stocks for 2050 is 300, 455 and 463 million for low-, medium-, and high-growth scenarios respectively. Furthermore, the growth in China's vehicle stock will increase beyond the inflection point of Gompertz curve by 2020, but will not reach saturation point during the period 2014-2050. Of major road vehicle categories, cars are the largest energy consumers, followed by trucks and buses. Growth in Chinese vehicle demand is primarily determined by per capita GDP. Vehicle saturation levels solely influence the shape of the Gompertz curve and population growth weakly affects vehicle demand. Projected total energy OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2014, 7 7455 consumption of road vehicles in 2050 is 380, 575 and 586 million tonnes of oil equivalent for each scenario.

“…If domestic firms are integrated in captive production networks organized and controlled by foreign TNCs at all, they supply simple, standardized, slow-changing and low value-added components through dependent linkages, and are squeezed by larger and more powerful foreign buyers. This situation suggests that while FDI in integrated peripheries increased rapidly since the early 1990s (UNCTAD 2016), FDI's regional development potential has been decreasing because its effects have mainly been short term, such as job creation, capital formation, trade, and the balance of payment effects while the limited development of predominantly dependent linkages with local firms weakened the potential long-term positive effects of FDI (Young, Hood, and Peters 1994;Hatani 2009). We might therefore expect a limited development of linkages between foreign subsidiaries and domestic firms and the existence of predominantly dependent linkages in the automotive industry of integrated peripheries.…”

This article examines the regional development effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the integrated peripheries of the automotive industry by analyzing supplier linkages between foreign subsidiaries and domestic firms. It develops the spatial concept of integrated peripheries in core-based macroregional production networks. Conceptually, it draws on the dynamic notion of uneven development in contemporary capitalism, namely, on David Harvey's spatiotemporal fix and on the global production networks concept of strategic coupling to investigate the mode of articulation of integrated peripheries into macroregional production networks. Empirically, it analyzes the quantity and quality of supplier linkages in the automotive industry of Slovakia based on unique data collected by the author from both foreign subsidiaries and domestic firms through a survey completed by 133 automotive firms in 2010 and interviews with 50 automotive firms conducted between 2011 and 2015. The empirical analysis uncovered weak and dependent supplier linkages between foreign subsidiaries and domestic firms, which undermine the potential for technology and knowledge transfer from foreign subsidiaries to the domestic economy and positive long-term regional development effects of large FDI by automotive industry corporations in integrated peripheries.
