Not easy, after two years of public opinion and controversy, the new car-making forces have completed the verification from 0-1 and begun the growth of 1-10, but obviously this extraordinary node in 2022, so that the new car-making forces a variety of shortcomings and sales problems, began to appear, this from the April sales, very obvious.
Zero running cars
To my surprise, zero-run cars won the championship in April's sales of new car-making forces.
On May 1, zero-running cars can't wait to release their latest delivery data, according to official data, the cumulative sales of zero-running cars in April were 9,087 units, which is the first time that zero-running cars have topped the delivery list of new forces.
But let me be honest, although the zero-run car narrowly won the championship in April sales, combined with its previous release of intelligent power CTC (cell-to-chassis) battery chassis integration technology, I still feel that it is somewhat "unworthy". You know, the so-called CTC, simply put, is the battery, chassis and car body for integrated design, in order to reduce the weight and quantity of parts, and the key to the problem is that CTC as early as two years ago, has been a very mature technology.
And the zero-run car that claims to be "the first domestic CTC battery chassis integration technology" has to say this, there is only one reason, that is, to create momentum. Of course, I can understand that the new forces of car-making always like to use an invention to show their innovative ability, so since it is innovation, it must have a truly subversive technical output, rather than such an ambiguous word game!
Xiaopeng Motors
According to official data, Xiaopeng Automobile's cumulative terminal sales in April were 9002 vehicles, an increase of 75% year-on-year, down 41.6% month-on-month, specific to the model, Xiaopeng Automobile's main model is Xiaopeng P7, its terminal cumulative sales in April were 3714 vehicles, Xiaopeng P5 sales were 3564 vehicles, and Xiaopeng G3 sales were 1724 vehicles.
To be honest, under the impact of the current epidemic and the supply of parts, as well as the impact of logistics, the sales performance of Xiaopeng Automobile is quite acceptable, but He Xiaopeng's original sentence "The core of intelligent cars is not manufacturing, but operation", which really makes me grumpy, so Xiaopeng Automobile, now, is it whitewashed?
Nezha car
In the sales volume in April, the sales volume of Nezha Automobile is also quite eye-catching. According to the official data of Nezha Automobile, the cumulative delivery volume of Nezha's terminals in April was 8813 vehicles, an increase of 120% year-on-year and a decline of 26.7% month-on-month. One thing to note here is that the overall sales volume of Nezha last year was better than that of zero-running cars, but this year it was at this time and another time. However, everything is undecided, all are dark horses, we will wait and see.
Nio, the ideal car
Unfortunately, the sales performance of Weilai and Ideal in April was not ideal. According to relevant data, the cumulative sales of the terminal of Ideal Automobile in April were 4167 units, down 24.8% compared with the same period last year; the cumulative delivery of weilai automobile in April was 5074 units, down 28.56% year-on-year and 49.18% month-on-month, close to the waist. This sales volume set a new low in its six months.
Of course, this time Weilai's sales decline, affected by the epidemic, supply chain companies have a lot to do with the suspension of production; and the ideal side is mainly in Changzhou factories affected by the epidemic. But I have to say that the competition of the new forces of car-making has reached a white-hot competition node, and the breakthrough battle between the king and the loser and the final survivors can be much more difficult to fight than the original qualification tournament.
