It was the May Day holiday, and many car companies could not wait to release sales data for April. Brother Reel found that the report cards of many car companies are very outstanding, among which gac aviation Aian's monthly sales increased by 23% year-on-year, and Dongfeng Fengshen's cumulative sales in the first four months increased by 122.3% year-on-year. Of course, affected by the shortage of chips and the epidemic, the performance of car companies has also been frustrated.
GAC Aean
April sales: 10,200 units, up 23% y/y
According to official data, GAC Aeon sold more than 10,200 new vehicles in April, up 23% year-on-year, and cumulative sales in the first four months were 55,086 units, up 113% year-on-year. Judging from this result, GAC Aean is indeed better than in previous years, but there is a gap between April's sales and March's results.
We also noticed that the official said that the current coefficient of cars in the store is as low as 0.16, and it has to be said that the new crown epidemic has a great impact on the supply chain of GAC EAN, and may face the situation of no cars to sell. Not only that, following the beginning of March, GAC Aeon announced on April 8 that the price of some of its models was raised, with an increase of 6,000-10,000 yuan, and only the price of the GAC AION V Plus 70 super fast charging version was reduced by 20,000 yuan.
On April 21, GAC Aean Super Charge and Replacement Center was completed in Guangzhou, and the peak charging voltage of the A480 super charging pile used in the center can reach 1000V, which can realize about 10 minutes to charge the AION V Plus 70 ultracharge version battery from 30% to 80%. Therefore, the price reduction of GAC AION VPlus 70 Super Fast Charger Edition is mainly for promotion. According to the plan, GAC Aeon will also launch a 2.5-minute power exchange technology within this year, and by 2025, it will build more than 1,000 super charging and replacing centers in Guangzhou. It is believed that the construction of the charging and replacing center has a great role in enhancing the competitiveness of products.
Dongfeng Wind God
April sales: 9,597 units, up 25.2% y/y
In April this year, Dongfeng Fengshen sold a total of 9,597 new vehicles, an increase of 25.2% year-on-year; in the first four months, a total of 55,487 vehicles were sold, an increase of 122.3% year-on-year. Under the influence of the epidemic, the supply chain of many car companies is not stable enough. On the last day of March, Dongfeng Passenger Vehicles issued relevant countermeasures, such as allowing retail vehicles to enjoy 100% support directly, and flexibly adjusting authorized loan financial products.
The relevant details of the specific model have not been announced officially, but from the perspective of the previous sales structure, the Yixuan family is still the main source of sales. On April 7, Yixuan MAX's new black and gray super cool fashion dad version was released for pre-sale, and the comprehensive strength of this model is very outstanding, and it has a certain competitiveness in the family car market. On April 13, the first SUV equipped with Dongfeng Mach dual-machine MHD hybrid system , Haoji debuted, although the new car has not yet been launched, but the debut of the new car can get consumers' attention.
DPCA
Sales in the first four months: 39,632 units, up 58% year-on-year
On the last day of April, DPCA announced that it had sold a total of 39,632 vehicles in the first four months of this year, an increase of 58% year-on-year, achieving 17 consecutive months of positive year-on-year growth. Based on the cumulative sales of 31,480 vehicles in the first quarter, DPCA sold a total of 8,152 vehicles in April. It is reported that the annual sales target of DPCA in 2022 is 150,000 vehicles, and only about 26% has been completed at present, and it is still very difficult for DPCA to complete this goal.
Judging from the sales data of the first four months, there is still a gap between DPCA and other car companies. Looking back at the promotion of DPCA in the first four months, it is basically the launch of new models, such as the Citroën C6 co-creation version, versailles C5 X FM version and the new DS 9.
In order to further stimulate sales, DPCA will launch new Citroen C5 AIRCROSS, Citroen C4 L and other models, and Peugeot China strategic models are about to usher in their debut. As the impact of the epidemic subsides and the upcoming traditional peak season, DPCA is expected to gain more room for sales growth.
New forces in car-making
All fell month on month, and the new forces led from zero
In addition to the above traditional car companies, the new car manufacturing forces also announced the sales results in April. At present, Weilai, Xiaopeng, Ideal, Nezha and Zero Run have all announced sales information.
Nio's deliveries in April were 5,074 units, down 48.2% month-on-month, close to the waist. Ideal deliveries in April were only 4,167 units, up 24.8% year-on-year, but down 62.2% month-on-month. As for Xiaopeng Motors, 9,002 units were delivered in April, up 75% year-on-year and down 41.6% month-on-month.
What is surprising is that Nezha Automobile and Zero-run Automobile have successfully grabbed the forefront of the new power camp due to the downward trend of the chain decline. Zero-run vehicles delivered 9,087 units in April, up 228.1% year-on-year and down 9.7% month-on-month, winning the first sales title in the new power camp. Nezha Automobile delivered a total of 8,813 vehicles in April, down 26.7% month-on-month, second only to ZeroCar and Xiaopeng Motors.
However, in general, the five new car-making forces have been affected by supply chain instability, while Weilai and Ideal, whose main forces are located in Shanghai, have been most seriously affected. So who can create good results in the next new car-making forces? Brother Yuan believes that after the epidemic has passed, Weilai and Ideal are expected to return to the forefront of the new force camp, if Zero Run and Nezha continue to expand their market influence during this period, there is an opportunity to compete with "Wei Xiaoli".
From the sales data that has been released, it can be seen that the sales of most car companies in April have declined month-on-month due to the impact of the epidemic, but from a long-term point of view, these car companies have made new car planning, and will continue to exert efforts after the epidemic has passed, we may wish to look forward to it.
