Among them, the export volume of new energy vehicles reached 310,000 units, an increase of 3 times year-on-year, in addition to illustrating the huge prospects of the new energy vehicle market, it also reflects the rise of domestic brands. Everyone can see that their main brands are actively competing in overseas markets, and only from the perspective of "hitting a record high", China's automobile exports have shown an unstoppable new trend. So let's take a look at the situation of the five self-owned brands with the largest export volume last year. (Data from Gaz Motors)
SAIC Motor
Export volume in 2021: 697249 units
Old driver spicy comment: Although in the domestic market, SAIC's performance is not very good, but in overseas markets, SAIC's performance is very good. In 2021, SAIC motor sold a total of 697,000 vehicles overseas, an increase of 78.9% year-on-year, equivalent to every Chinese car sold, one from SAIC.
SAIC Motor's export brands are mainly MG, mg brand has entered 66 countries and regions around the world, ranking among the top ten single brands in 17 countries around the world. Because this brand was first British, it has a greater degree of recognition in overseas markets. MG, which has performed dismal in the domestic market, has performed very well overseas.
In addition to SAIC Passenger Cars, SAIC-GM-Wuling and SAIC Maxus have also performed well in overseas markets. Among them, SAIC-GM-Wuling achieved exports of 146,000 vehicles and bulk parts in overseas markets in 2021, an increase of 88% year-on-year, a record high.
SAIC-GM-Wuling's export business has now covered 40 countries and regions, including Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East and other countries, of which the global export volume of Chebaojun 530 ranks among the best in Chinese-made SUVs, and last year set an export record of nearly 90,000 units/sets. Saic-GM-Wuling, which has been operating in Indonesia for four years, sold 26,000 vehicles last year, an increase of 2 times year-on-year, and is also giving SAIC continuous blood transfusions.
SAIC Maxus last year's overseas sales reached 52,000 units, overseas business in 51 countries and regions around the world, its commercial vehicles and passenger cars two major sectors are actively transforming to the direction of new energy, and with the addition of more and more new energy products, new energy models will also become the main force of SAIC Maxus overseas sales.
Chery Automobile
Export volume in 2021: 269154 units
Old driver's hot comment: Like the Car Group, Chery Automobile is also mixed up overseas, and in 2021, Chery Automobile's export volume reached 269,000 units, a record high. As one of the representatives of Chinese auto brands, Chery's overseas sales have always been relatively eye-catching, and it has been selected as one of the "Top 20 Overseas Images of Chinese Enterprises" five times. Among Chery's products, in addition to the Tiggo series models selling well overseas, the Xingtu brand has also begun to exert its strength, such as Xingtu Lanyue and Xingtu Lingyun have successfully entered the Russian high-end market. Chery can achieve such a good result, which is related to its earlier layout of foreign markets.
According to the data, Chery Automobile began to export in 2001, which was the same year that China joined the WTO, so it also caught up with the good timing, and now it has sold in more than 80 countries and regions around the world, built 10 production bases overseas, and has more than 1,500 sales networks. Although Chery's export models are mainly sold to the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other economically underdeveloped regions, this is also the basis for the accumulation of future entry into other overseas markets.
Some analysts believe that Chery's overseas reliance on technology, and quality is the "stepping stone" of China's automobile exports, technology is the "pass" to the international market, it is with these two advantages, Chery Automobile exports have won the championship for 18 consecutive years, becoming "China's business card". And perennial vehicle tests in Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Russia and other countries around the world, which are the keys to the continuous increase in overseas sales. Although everyone knows that Chery's technology is good, the domestic product layout is relatively late, and the strategy of "having more children and fighting" has actually weakened its own influence, which has led to Chery's inability to squeeze into the echelon of first-line independent brands in China.
Great Wall Motors
Export volume in 2021: 142793 units
Old driver spicy comment: Following the Russian Tula plant, Great Wall Motors put into operation a second overseas factory in June last year - Rayong plant in Thailand, with the production of the Rayong plant, Great Wall's Haval H6 HEV, Haval JOLION HEV and other new products successfully achieved localization production, want to further deepen the Thailand and ASEAN market, these are the foundation. However, there is a saying that H6 car owners all over the world, and it can really be regarded as a "national god car".
In addition, in the South American market, Great Wall Motors and Daimler Group reached an agreement to acquire the Mercedes-Benz plant in Brazil, which will hand over the Plant in Iracemapolis, Brazil, to Great Wall Motors. In the European market, Great Wall Motor officially opened a German subsidiary and set up a European headquarters in Munich in November last year, according to the plan, Great Wall Motor Brand Experience Center will open in Munich and Berlin in 2022, WEY Coffee and ORA Cat are also about to open pre-sales, and the first models are expected to be delivered in the first half of 2022.
Great Wall Motor's 2021 overseas market can be described as frequent, as of now, it has formed 13 domestic full-process vehicle production bases, 4 overseas full-process production bases and 5 overseas KD factories in the world. With the gradual improvement of these production bases, Great Wall Motor's globalization strategy will continue to accelerate.
Geely Automobile
Export volume in 2021: 115008 units
Old driver spicy comment: Among Chinese brands, the easiest to achieve export is Geely Automobile, because Geely's global territory has expanded the most. Since the acquisition of Volvo, the brand's image and popularity have increased significantly around the world. Then it also owns the British London Taxi Company, Malaysian Proton Motors, the British Lotus Automobile shares, and is also one of the shareholders of daimler Group, so Geely Automobile is a brand with a low level of internationalization among its own brand manufacturers, and it is simply "sprinkling water" to go abroad.
Its models have been sold in the Middle East and North Africa, South America, Southeast Asia and other 40 countries, of which Geely Binyue PRO and Boyue are the best-selling, according to the plan, Geely Automobile plans to reach 600,000 overseas sales by 2025, or quite ambitious.
Changan Automobile
Export volume in 2021: 114070 units
Old driver spicy comments: 90% of Changan Automobile's overseas exports come from the "Belt and Road" countries, such as saudi arabia, Pakistan and other countries, Changan Automobile squeezed into the top five sales of the local automobile market, Changan Automobile's export sales in 2021 exceeded 10,000 for several months, and ranked in the forefront of Chinese brands in more than 10 markets, and overseas business is becoming more and more mature.
Changan Automobile said that in the future, it will continue to closely follow the national "Belt and Road" development strategy, further accelerate the layout of overseas bases from the perspective of globalization, maximize the use of global resources, and form a global advantage. In fact, in the layout of overseas business, the pace of Changan Automobile is very close to Geely, so we can see that the gap between their export volume is not obvious, if according to the current growth rate, Changan Automobile is likely to surpass Geely in export sales in 2022.
