BYD was on the hot search two days ago, one is that the sales of 100,000 vehicles in March, an increase of 160% year-on-year, cattle!
The other is to announce the suspension of the production of fuel vehicles! The world's first! cattle!
BYD said it would stop production of fuel vehicles from March 2022. In the future, BYD's automotive segment will focus on pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. However, ATD's fuel vehicles are still on sale, and fuel owners can also enjoy perfect after-sales service.
In addition, the rumors about BYD's new round of price increases have been officially debunked.
So BYD's suspension of fuel vehicles is actually not surprising, but BYD is slightly earlier than we expected. The reason why it dares to be the first person to eat crabs is mainly for several reasons:
Sales are growing fast, and new energy is enough to support
Looking at BYD's sales in recent months, it has continued to break through upwards, surpassing 100,000 vehicles in March, all thanks to new energy vehicles. EV pure tram sold 53664 units, DM models sold 50674 units, new energy soared 346.2% year-on-year! It is foreseeable that BYD's sales will exceed 1 million vehicles this year, and it should not be a problem to become the top three domestic brands.
So the sales of new energy models are enough to support BYD, and BYD's current new energy orders have not yet been delivered as high as nearly 400,000 vehicles, where is the energy to build a few fuel vehicles that cannot be sold in a month? Now everyone buys BYD is definitely going to new energy, and basically will not choose fuel vehicles. So BYD's discontinued fuel vehicles are forced to be helpless? It's really a bit Versailles.
New products continue, and sales are guaranteed
In addition to the sales guarantee of star models, BYD also has many new energy products on the road, gradually showing a situation of blooming everywhere. In addition to the destroyer 05 that has been listed, this year BYD will successively bring a number of new cars such as Han DM-i, Han DM-p, 2022 Tang, BYD Seal, Frigate 07, etc., giving everyone more rich choices, but also a strong guarantee for BYD's sales to advance again.
In the general direction of the market, BYD is at the forefront
Of course, BYD decisively stopped production of fuel vehicles, or because new energy is the trend of the times. In recent months, the penetration rate of new energy in the mainland has continued to increase rapidly. According to the data of the Association of Automobile Associations, the domestic retail penetration rate of new energy has reached 21.8% in February, and it will continue to increase after that. With the blessing of multiple technologies such as blade battery, DM-i super hybrid and e-platform 3.0, BYD has completed a gorgeous turn on the track of transforming new energy, and has thrown off its opponents several streets, which has been well confirmed by sales and public reputation.
So who will be the next car company to follow up? At present, it has officially announced plans: Changan Automobile and BAIC Group will fully stop selling fuel vehicles in 2025; Toyota Motor will stop selling fuel vehicles in China, Europe and North America in 2030; Lexus brand will stop selling fuel vehicles in 2035; Volkswagen will stop selling fuel vehicles in the European market in 2035; Honda Motor will fully stop selling fuel vehicles in 2040; Nissan Motor will stop selling fuel vehicles after 2025; kia Automobile will stop selling fuel vehicles in the EU market in 2035 BMW Group will stop selling fuel vehicles in the EU in 2030; Mercedes-Benz will stop selling fuel vehicles in 2030...
