The 2013 Import and Export Market for Public Transport-Type Passenger Motor Vehicles with Diesel or Semi-Diesel Compression-Ignition Internal Combustion Engines in Chile

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on public transport-type passenger motor vehicles with diesel or semi-diesel compression-ignition internal combustion engines in Chile face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying public transport-type passenger motor vehicles with diesel or semi-diesel compression-ignition internal combustion engines to Chile? How important is Chile compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of public transport-type passenger motor vehicles with diesel or semi-diesel compression-ignition internal combustion engines vary from one country of origin to another in Chile? On the supply side, Chile also exports public transport-type passenger motor vehicles with diesel or semi-diesel compression-ignition internal combustion engines. Which countries receive the most exports from Chile? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for public transport-type passenger motor vehicles with diesel or semi-diesel compression-ignition internal combustion engines in Chile.

I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for public transport-type passenger motor vehicles with diesel or semi-diesel compression-ignition internal combustion engines for those countries serving Chile via exports, or supplying from Chile via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by
