As 2021 becomes a thing of the past, everyone can't help but ask who was the fiercest car company last year?
Undoubtedly, the fiercest car company is BYD Auto! As a leading domestic car company, coupled with the identity of the new energy vehicle market leader, BYD Automobile's heritage has always been very deep, with the global chip shortage problem that appeared at the beginning of 2021, it has made many people further realize how strong its strength is!
It should be known that in the context of the current global chip shortage industry, BYD is one of the few manufacturers in the car company that can develop and manufacture chips by itself. Unlike other car companies temporarily clinging to the Buddha's feet, in fact, those who know BYD know that before they build a car, they have already put their hands into the semiconductor field, and BYD founder Wang Chuanfu once said a famous saying in an interview: If I did not build a car, I would build semiconductors!
As for BYD's strength in the semiconductor field, it can be seen from the following dazzling honors: China's largest manufacturer of automotive-grade MCU (micro-control unit) chips; IPM (intelligent power module) maintains the top three in China; CMOS image sensor ranks fourth; the world's first and only semiconductor supplier in China to realize the large-scale loading of SiC (silicon carbide devices); and a small number of semiconductor manufacturers in China that have pre-installed LED light sources for pre-production.
Boy! If it were not for BYD's performance in the new energy vehicle market, and the global chip shortage this year that led to the suspension of work and production of many car companies, I am afraid that everyone would not know that BYD has been so powerful in the semiconductor field! In fact, BYD's achievements in semiconductors are enough to make it a supplier, which means that even if it does not build cars, it will occupy a very important position in the automotive industry.
It is thanks to its strong performance in semiconductor and other industries that BYD is not only unafraid in the face of global chip shortages, but also makes sales performance to a higher level. According to bydir shares officially announced its latest sales data, its new car sales in December were 99112 units, an increase of 75.97% year-on-year; in 2021, the sales volume of the BYD brand was as high as 740131 vehicles, an increase of 73.34% year-on-year, and the sales growth rate led the market!
And we dig into the more detailed aspects of sales data, BYD sold a total of 603738 new energy vehicles in 2021, a sharp increase of 218.3% over the same period last year; among them, the most eye-catching model in the whole year is undoubtedly the Song SUV series in the Dynasty family, and the sales performance of the car has entered the top three of the SUV rankings for several consecutive months, becoming the fastest and most ferocious SUV of the year. In addition, BYD e-network also began to exert efforts this year, such as the first Dolphin based on BYD e-station 3.0, which was just listed at the end of August, and handed over 10,016 units of sales in December, gradually becoming another powerful growth point for BYD pure electric passenger car products!
Big Hero Car Talk: There is no doubt that due to the influence of a variety of force majeure factors in recent years, the automobile market has seen a certain degree of reshuffle, and many low-key and powerful brands have begun to gradually enter the explosive period, such as BYD Automobile, which has been laid out in advance for several years, and has led the global automotive industry in many fields, becoming the light of domestic goods loved by more and more consumers!
