The timetable for the ban on the sale of fuel vehicles by various car companies has been released: the tide has not receded, who is still "swimming naked"?

Before BYD suddenly announced the suspension of fuel vehicles, a number of large international car companies had announced that they would stop selling fuel vehicles in the future a few years ago. Where have these companies announced that they will stop selling fuel vehicles in the future? Who is still swimming naked while there is still the tide?

At present, new energy vehicles are growing in an "explosive" manner, strongly seizing the market share of fuel vehicles. According to the data, in 2021, the total wholesale volume of new energy passenger vehicles in China increased by 181.0% year-on-year to 3.312 million units, and the retail sales volume increased by 169.1% year-on-year to 2.989 million units; in 2021, the total wholesale volume of domestic fuel vehicles fell by 4% to 17.79 million units, and retail sales fell by 6% to 17.16 million units.

BYD: Starting sales of fuel vehicles in March 2022

In this context, many auto brands have been concentrating their superior resources to force the new energy vehicle market, of which the fastest and most advanced is BYD, the leader of independent brand new energy vehicles.

As the world's first car company to stop selling fuel vehicles, BYD announced plans to stop selling fuel vehicles on April 3. There is no excessive warm-up, planning, route, etc., directly to the opponents to come to a "surprise", thanks to BYD's strong position in the new energy vehicle market now.

According to the data, due to BYD's suspension of fuel vehicles in March 2022, fuel vehicle sales were 0, including cars, SUVs and MPVs. In March's production and sales data, BYD's new energy vehicle sales were 104878 units, up 333.1% from 24,218 units in the same period of 2021, of which new energy passenger car sales 104338 units, an increase of 345.2% from 23,386 units in the same period of 2021.

In 2021, Changan's Chinese brand passenger car sales will be about 1.2042 million units, an increase of 23.08% year-on-year. Among them, the vast majority are fuel models. With the release of The Changan iDD Hybrid System in 2021, Changan Automobile has also begun to gradually electrify.

However, in order to achieve the new energy transformation of all models in 2025, Changan Automobile may have to speed up a little.

BAIC Group: Fully stop selling fuel vehicles in 2025

Nissan plans to invest 2 trillion yen ($17.6 billion) over the next five years to electrify more of its product lines, such as the launch of 20 all-electric models and models equipped with Nissan e-POWER technology in the next five years.

At present, Dongfeng Nissan has launched the first e-POWER model in China, and in order to follow the current development speed of domestic new energy vehicles, Nissan's product launch speed in the Chinese market needs to be accelerated.

Toyota Motor: Discontinuing the sale of fuel vehicles in China in 2030

In December 2021, Toyota launched 15 electric vehicles, changing the previous "resistance" to pure electric models. Akio Toyoda, the helmsman of Toyota Motor, has said on many occasions before this that "pure electricity is the wrong route." Helplessly, the hand of fate in the market can hold the head of all "strong dragons", even if you are the first in the world.

As a global auto giant, it may be difficult for Toyota motor to complete the complete transformation of products, but it is believed that it will not be too difficult to keep up with the current iteration speed of new energy vehicle products.

On December 14, 2021, Akio Toyoda unveiled 15 new electric vehicles at the Battery Electric Vehicle Strategy Briefing and announced a 10-year-long electric vehicle plan.

Among them, in the Chinese market, Toyota and Lexus will introduce 35 new electrification products in 2025, including 10 pure electric models, and by 2035, Lexus will only sell electric vehicles, that is, fully transform into a pure electric brand.

Volkswagen: Discontinue sales of fuel vehicles in Europe in 2035

The Audi brand of the Volkswagen Group will also launch its last new fuel model in 2025, Audi will stop selling fuel models by 2030, and the Volkswagen brand will announce that it will stop selling fuel vehicles in the European market in 2035.

In June 2021, the relevant person in charge of Volkswagen said that the Volkswagen brand will stop selling traditional fuel vehicles before 2035, and will produce and sell pure electric vehicles at that time, but this plan is only for the European market. The Chinese and U.S. markets will push back the shutdown relatively.

Honda Motor: Fully stop selling fuel vehicles in 2040

In April last year, Honda Motor said that pure electric and fuel cell models will account for 40% of total vehicle sales in 2030, 80% in 2035, and increase to 100% in 2040, and stop production of fuel vehicles.

In January 2022, Honda Motor China President Katsushi Inoue said that it aims to sell 800,000 pure electric vehicles by 2030, noting: "If you can't win the competition in China, which is promoting electrification, you will be eliminated by the world." We want to change all areas, and we will decide the winner in the next five years."

As the "technology Honda" in the minds of global car fans, Honda's plan for 2040 seems to be a bit of a "big pie". This still needs 18 years of waiting, 18 years can grow a good man, but the automotive market is in an era of rapid change, the market can not wait for Honda 18 years, this answer is difficult to answer.
