On April 3, BYD announced its March sales, and the data showed that the entire series sold 104388 vehicles in March this year, up 160.9% year-on-year. This is also the first time that BYD's monthly sales of passenger cars have exceeded 100,000, a record high. Among them, DM models sold 50674 vehicles, EV models sold 53664 vehicles, sales volume is almost the same, fully reflecting BYD's adherence to DM plug-in, EV pure electric "two legs, go hand in hand" strategy.
And BYD sales soared, is expected, more important news is that BYD in the announcement of sales at the same time, the official announcement will stop the production of fuel vehicles, although this is sooner or later, but BYD so decisive, so early to stop the production of fuel vehicles, it is indeed unexpected by many people, which also makes BYD become the world's first car company to stop production of fuel vehicles. As soon as this news came out, it was like throwing a stone on the calm water, which attracted the attention and heated discussion inside and outside the industry.
In fact, BYD's suspension of fuel vehicles is also in line with the development trend of the industry and the needs of enterprise development, from the perspective of sales in March alone, in addition to DM and EV models, fuel vehicles have only sold 50 vehicles, and the total sales are compared, that is about equal to zero. In fact, not only in March this year, BYD has been such a sales share since a long time ago. Since this is the case, it is really better to stop production completely and devote more energy to the research and development and manufacture of new energy models.
Of course, BYD fuel vehicle users do not need to worry about the maintenance of vehicles in the future, BYD said in the "Statement" that it will continue to provide perfect service and after-sales protection for existing fuel vehicle customers, as well as the supply of spare parts throughout the life cycle to ensure worry-free travel.
Under the general trend of new energy, no brand can stand alone, and if you want to continue to develop, abandoning fuel vehicles and fully investing in the embrace of new energy is the only way. In fact, most car companies in the world have plans to stop selling or stopping the production of fuel vehicles. As can be seen from the following schedule, many multinational brands or groups are still more cautious, in contrast, BYD is indeed very advanced.
Indeed, at present, no car company can do what BYD does, and almost all sales are contributed by new energy models. In terms of models, Han sold 12,359 vehicles in March and Tang sold 9,625 vehicles, performing steadily in the mid-to-high-end market. The Qin family has sold 24,797 vehicles, of which Qin PLUS is likely to win the first place in China's A-class new energy sedan sales in March. The Song family sold a total of 26,729 vehicles, and with the blessing of DM-i, Song DM sold 22,381 vehicles in a single month, which has won the national plug-in SUV for four consecutive months.
While the veterans are steadily rising, the brand newcomers are also eye-catching, of which dolphins sold 10,501 vehicles, since the listing in August last year, a total of nearly 60,000 vehicles have been sold, the same class is unparalleled. The Yuan family sold a total of 12,881 vehicles, of which the newly listed Yuan PLUS sold 10,025 vehicles, with a strong momentum.
It is believed that with the launch of new vehicles such as destroyer 05, frigate 07 and seal, THE UPWARD MOMENTUM OF BYD's sales will continue.
