In the first two months, the increase in production and sales of cars exceeded the same period of last year

According to the data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to February of 2015, the production and sales of automobiles were 331,170 and 3,381,100, an increase of 14.06% and 14.72% respectively. Among them, the production and sales of passenger cars were 2,762,200 and 2,873,400, an increase of 17.76% and 19.53% respectively, which was higher than the industry's 3.70% and 4.81%.

Among them, the production and sales of cross-type passenger cars have seen a large decline; the production and sales of passenger cars saw rapid growth, but the growth rate was slightly lower than that of the industry; the production and sales of SUVs continued to grow at a rapid rate; MPV was mainly due to the adjustment of the company's models and other reasons, and the growth rate of production and sales was quite significant. Judging from the overall performance of the passenger vehicle industry, demand for SUVs continues to grow at a relatively fast pace, demand for cars is generally stable, and MPVs have increased after the adjustment of corporate models. The performance of crossover passenger vehicles remains low.

In terms of new energy vehicles, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in the first two months of this year amounted to 12,853 units and 12,440 units, an increase of 2.8 times and 2.9 times year-on-year. The production and sales of pure electric vehicles were 6,519 and 5,996 vehicles, an increase of 3.4 times and 4.2 times year-on-year. The sales and sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles were 6,334 and 6,444, an increase of 2.3 times and 2.2 times year-on-year.

In addition, data from China’s imported automobile database shows that in the first two months of this year, China’s customs had cumulatively imported 160,000 vehicles, a year-on-year decline of 18.3%; market terminals sold a total of 139,900 imported vehicles, a year-on-year decline of 19.9%. The imported car market also fell to the lowest point in the market in the past two years.

As far as the market for imported cars is concerned, the import volume of cars has fallen below 20,000, which has dropped to 16900 units, which is a drop of 39.88% compared to the same period of last year. The SUV models still hot in China are still not changed. The fate of the decline continues to drop by 20.37% year-on-year in February to 40,600 vehicles. Wang Guo, senior manager of the Ministry of Automotive Machinery Market, said in an interview: "At present, China's imported car market has entered a period of deep adjustment, coupled with less work days in February of this year, which promotes further cooling of the imported car market."

Insiders pointed out that: In 2014, both the production and sales of the Chinese automotive market grew and it was the first in the world for six consecutive years. Therefore, many automobile manufacturers have made double-digit increases on the basis of last year when setting production and sales targets for the whole year. In order to complete the task as much as possible, some manufacturers in the first and second months of this year carried out pressure storage operation in advance, and the inventory pressure in March was even more serious.

In an interview with a certain brand dealer, the market sales in January this year were not as good as those in the past two months, but they were not as good as last December, a month-on-month decline of about 23% in January, and sales in January and March dropped again. Super-two percent, and April is the traditional off-season sales season, so if the market does not recover significantly in May and June, it is estimated that many car dealers will not be able to complete sales tasks in the first half of this year. Many dealers also said that with current sales, it is difficult to complete the tasks given by the manufacturers during the first half of this year.
