All new Dogbuses are Irizar, see them everywhere. Our coach manufacturing is dying too. We had PMC, CCMC, Denning etc. Though Alan B Denning is still producing in small numbers still. Quote:

I remember when the AUD was at parity with the USD we were getting hurt badly by imported parts. The current situation is very much more favourable but we can no longer take advantage of it was we no longer build cars in Australia.

Yes some people saw it coming but they were constantly ridiculed or given names like Dr. Doom.

The lower value of the dollar makes us more competitive on the export market when your business is rivaling global markets but then again it can effect local production depending on where the company resources come from (imports or local)
So many other factors come in with the floating of the aud. |
