Just into May, a number of new car-making car companies have announced the results of April delivery. Judging from the data, under the background of greater pressure on epidemic prevention, the sales volume of various new car manufacturers in April was not ideal. Among them, the most unexpected thing is that the delivery volume of zero-running cars reached 9,087 units in April, which won the first place in the monthly delivery volume of new car-making forces for the first time.
Specifically, zero-run cars delivered 9,087 units in April, a slight decline of 9.7% month-on-month, but still surpassed all the new power brands and won the sales championship for the first time. The year-on-year increase was as high as 228.1%, achieving a year-on-year increase in delivery volume of more than 200% for 13 consecutive months. In terms of cumulative deliveries, the cumulative sales of zero-run cars from January to April reached 30,666 units, up 419.3% year-on-year.
The zero-run cars that successfully broke through 10,000 in March did not have much decline in April, and still reached a high level of 9,087 units; it was really in response to the three days of the taxi, and it was impressive. At the same time, Zero Run is expected to become the fourth car company to achieve listing. In March, Zero Run Auto released a Prospectus for Hong Kong stocks. According to the prospectus, 40% of the net proceeds of Zero-Run Auto are expected to be used for research and development of new models, autonomous driving technology, and three-electric system technology; 25% will be used to increase production capacity, such as the construction of the Hangzhou factory that will start this year, improving the level of factory automation, etc.; 25% will be used to expand business and enhance brand awareness, including overseas businesses such as opening overseas flagship stores in the European market in 2023.
This was followed by 9,002 Xiaopeng motors, up 75% year-on-year; this year, 43,563 units were delivered, an increase of 136% year-on-year. Specific to the model, the Xiaopeng P7 as the main sales force, a total of 3714 new cars were delivered in April; the new compact car Xiaopeng P5 delivered 3564 units in April; and the Xiaopeng G3 only delivered 1724 new cars. Although Xiaopeng Automobile fell by more than 40% month-on-month in April, it still achieved more than 9,000 deliveries, which is quite good in the context of insufficient supply chain.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Xiaopeng G9 is about to be listed, and the future sales may continue to rise, although the current new car has not directly affected the sales of Xiaopeng Automobile, but it has earned enough heat.
According to the latest delivery data released by Nezha Automobile, the delivery volume of Nezha Automobile in April was 8813 units, an increase of 120% year-on-year and a decline of 26.7% month-on-month. In terms of cumulative sales, the cumulative delivery volume of Nezha Automobile from January to April reached 38,965 units, up 240.1% year-on-year. At present, the main sales products of Nezha Automobile are concentrated in entry-level pure electric products of about 100,000 yuan, and in April, Nezha V car series delivered 5694 vehicles, and Nezha U car series delivered 3119 vehicles. It is worth mentioning that Nezha Automobile will launch the first product under the Shanhai platform this year - Nezha S, and sales may continue to rise.
In addition, in terms of capital market, Nezha Automobile's parent company, Hezhong New Energy, has been rumored to be in an IPO for many times, and it has been reported earlier that United New Energy will conduct an IPO as early as the second half of this year, but Nezha Automobile said that there are no details to disclose at present.
Weilai, the former "boss" of the new car-making forces, has now been involved in the second echelon of the new car-making forces, and the fall behind is very obvious. According to the latest delivery data released by WEILAI Automobile, WEILAI Automobile's delivery volume in April was only 5074 units, down 49.2% month-on-month, close to the waist, an increase of 13.5% year-on-year. In terms of cumulative deliveries, NIO's cumulative deliveries from January to April reached 30,845 units, an increase of 13.5% year-on-year.
At the same time, Weilai was greatly affected by supply chain shortages in April. On April 9, Li Bin, chairman of WEIO, said that due to the impact of the epidemic, since March, the company's supply chain partners in Jilin, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places have stopped production, and due to the above reasons, many users' vehicles will be delayed in the near future. Weilai said that it expects to release the 2022 ES8, ES6 and EC6 equipped with the latest smart cockpit hardware in late May, and the new large five-seat SUV ES7 will also be released at the same time. In addition, NIO will also deliver ET5 models in the third quarter of 2022.
Finally, the ideal car that has been relying on only one model to hit the world was tragically "Waterloo" in April, and the delivery volume of the ideal car in April was only 4167 units, an increase of only 24.8% year-on-year, and a month-on-month decline of 62.2%, which was very surprising. In terms of cumulative deliveries, the cumulative delivery volume of Ideal Automobile from January to April reached 35,883 units, an increase of 98.1% year-on-year. The new car, the Ideal L9, which was originally scheduled to be released in April, was also postponed due to the cancellation of the Beijing Auto Show.
And like Weilai, it is greatly affected by the shortage of supply chains. Shen Yanan, co-founder and president of Ideal Automobile, said that since the end of March, due to the rebound of the epidemic in the Yangtze River Delta, the supply chain, logistics and production of the whole industry have been seriously disrupted. Ideal Auto's Changzhou base and more than 80% of its suppliers are located in the Yangtze River Delta region, and some suppliers are unable to supply or completely stop production. The inability to continue production after the existing parts inventory was digested had a great impact on the production of ideal cars in April, resulting in delays in the delivery of new cars for some users.
