Without waiting for the data of the Association, DPCA, which has been growing positively year-on-year for 16 consecutive months, took the lead in releasing the sales results of the first quarter of 2022: 31,480 vehicles, a cumulative increase of 79% year-on-year.
This is indeed a good thing for an automotive group that has been silent for many years. From 2020 after the DPCA Group said to revitalize, quickly launched a lot of French models that meet the needs of consumers, Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X's French romance, Dongfeng Peugeot's new 4008 domineering return, plus in pure electricity on the 30th anniversary of DPCA also launched the 30th anniversary of the first pure electric model Dongfeng Fukang ES600, it is said that this B-class new energy model listed on March 28, has now received 30,000 customer orders...
Now the data given by DPCA Automobile Group is that the cumulative sales volume in the first three months reached 31,480 vehicles, according to the previous plan, the sales target of DPCA automobiles this year is 150,000 vehicles, and breakeven is achieved. According to this data, at least 35,000-40,000 vehicles should be completed every quarter to achieve the set target. However, it must be admitted that January, February and March in the Chinese market belong to the off-season during the Chinese New Year, so whether this data can be completed depends on the statistics from April to June.
However, this year should be a special year for DPCA, the 30th anniversary of its establishment, during which it has ups and downs. In order to be able to complete the established sales tasks, DPCA also has a series of reform measures, according to the plan of Stellantis, DPCA will adopt the "two-bedroom and one-hall" model, that is, DPCA will be retained as a production base to maintain the existing share ratio, while the DPCA factory will be open to third parties. Stellantis will manage the Peugeot brand under DPCA and Dongfeng Group will manage the Citroën brand.
Ghost Bucket Car View: It is said that Dongfeng Motor and Stellantis Group have set up a working group to negotiate the adjustment of the equity of Dongfeng Dongfeng Motor. In this way, the foreign side for Dongfeng Peugeot Holdings under DPCA Automobile reached 75%, and the Chinese side held 75% in dongfeng Citroen brand, and the equity of DPCA remained unchanged. However, it has not yet been determined. I just don't know if such an equity change will promote Ta's sales?
