A few days ago, the Federation of Passenger Vehicles released the data of China's passenger car market in March, which showed that BYD, which once again broke the Chinese record in the month, topped the sales of new energy passenger cars, achieving the "ten consecutive championships" of monthly sales since June last year.
According to the China Association of Passenger Vehicles, passenger car sales in the Chinese market in March were 1.814 million units, down 1.6% year-on-year; of which new energy passenger car sales were 455,000, up 122.4% year-on-year. It is not difficult to see that the fuel vehicle market is still in a state of shrinking downward, and the replacement of new energy for fuel vehicles is accelerating. In March, the penetration rate of new energy passenger cars reached 25.1%, a record high, and achieved explosive growth from 11.1% in the same period last year.
In March, BYD's new energy passenger car sales 104338, becoming China's first brand with monthly sales of "100,000+" new energy passenger cars, entering the top camp of China's passenger car sales; in the first quarter, BYD's new energy passenger car sales soared by 433.4% year-on-year, reaching 284737. That figure is close to half of its full-year 2021 sales.
It is worth noting that BYD's production and sales of fuel vehicles in March showed zero. BYD officially said that it has stopped the production of fuel vehicles and focused on EV pure electric and DM plug-in hybrid vehicles. But on the other hand, the uncertainty of the new energy industry still exists, the industry supply chain is under pressure, the price of key raw materials is soaring, and the epidemic is repeated... The challenges to the rapid growth of the industry are enormous.
In March, BYD's new energy vehicle sales increased by 346.2% year-on-year and 19.3% month-on-month, and its market share further increased to 22.93%. Recently, EV SALES / EV VOLUMES released the latest global new energy passenger car sales data. It shows that BYD won the global sales championship of the month with 87906 global sales in February. This is also BYD's second global title in 2022.
In the industry, it is growing against the trend and is stronger than its new energy counterparts, and the reason is that it benefits from BYD's whole industry chain layout and vertical integration of technology, and it is also a victory for BYD's EV pure electric, DM plug-and-mix "two-legged" walking strategy. With the support of leading technologies such as blade batteries, DM-i super hybrids, and e-platform 3.0, BYD's EV and DM models sold 53,664 and 50,674 units respectively in March. This is very different from other manufacturers' heavy pure electricity, light hybrid or even no hybrid situation. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
