In January 2022, commercial vehicle sales did not improve, and the month-on-month and year-on-year sales were still in a "double decline" situation, which directly led to the diesel engine sales data in January being very unsightly.
According to data from the China-China Association, in January 2022, domestic internal combustion engine sales were 4.2911 million units, down 12.02% month-on-month and 10.11% year-on-year, "double-down" month-on-month and year-on-year.
Sales of multi-cylinder diesel engines for commercial vehicles, which are closely related to the commercial vehicle market, also showed a situation of month-on-month and year-on-year declines: in January 2022, sales of multi-cylinder diesel engines for commercial vehicles were 184,100 units, down 18.59% month-on-month and 48.27% year-on-year, and the decline was very obvious.
Diesel engines: Sales of 447,000 units in January decreased 35.7% y/y
In January 2021, domestic diesel engine sales were the highest in the past six years, so high the base; coupled with the large amount of market demand in advance overdraft, the commercial vehicle market continued to be sluggish, which eventually led to a sharp year-on-year decline in diesel engine sales in January 2022.
In January 2022, domestic diesel engine sales were 446,700 units, down 9.85% month-on-month and 35.7% year-on-year. Among them, multi-cylinder diesel engines for commercial vehicles sold 184,100 units in January 2022, down 18.59% month-on-month and 48.27% year-on-year. Compared with the overall situation of diesel engines, the decline of multi-cylinder diesel engines for commercial vehicles is even greater.
However, even in this case, there are still some companies that have achieved good results in bucking the trend. Let's take a look at the performance of various companies at the beginning of the Year of the Tiger.
Multi-cylinder diesel engine: Weichai exceeded 50,000 units The whole diesel rose to the third place
In January 2022, the sales volume of multi-cylinder diesel engines was 385,900 units, down 10.59% month-on-month and 34.53% year-on-year, and it was also impossible to get rid of the fate of "double decline" month-on-month and year-on-year. In January, the top ten companies in terms of sales volume were Weichai, Yuchai, Quanchai, Yunnei, Jiefang Power, Xinchai, Foton Cummins, Jiangling, Shangchai and Dongfeng Cummins, accounting for 76.99% of the total sales of multi-cylinder diesel engines in the top ten enterprises. Compared with the data for the whole of last year, the share of the top ten companies has declined slightly.
According to the above table, Weichai won the championship in January 2022 with sales of 53,300 units, but the lead has narrowed compared with last year, accounting for 13.8% of the market share. It was followed by Yuchai, which took second place with 44,600 units and a market share of 11.57%.

The above three are the only companies in January 2022 that have monthly sales of more than 40,000 units and a double-digit market share.

In the multi-cylinder diesel engine market for commercial vehicles, Quanchai has become the only one that can achieve growth against the trend, and the year-on-year growth rate is more than 40%, which is valuable.
In addition, Jianghuai Automobile also achieved an increase in the ranking, selling 0.98 million units of multi-cylinder diesel engines for commercial vehicles in January, with a market share of 5.31%, ranking eighth in the industry.
The relatively large number of single-month sales may be one of the reasons for the relatively large change in the market structure in January 2022 compared to the whole year of 2021. So, in the next few months, can the "rising stars" represented by Anhui Quanchai continue to attack the higher industry rankings? Stay tuned for coverage.
