Affected by multiple factors such as the epidemic, lack of cores and the price increase of the automobile market, in April this year, the new car-making forces also stopped the trend of collective "floating red".
From the sales data information released by the new domestic car-making forces, it can be seen that the delivery volume in April, the list of new car-making forces, including zero run, Xiaopeng, Nezha. Weilai and ideal cars, without exception, have declined to varying degrees month-on-month, but the most serious decline is the ideal car that fell by 62.2% year-on-year and 24.8% year-on-year.
1st place: Zero-run cars
This month, zero-running cars got a very good result, in April 2022, the sales of zero-running cars reached 9,087 units, down 9.7% month-on-month, up 228.1% year-on-year, and won the first place.
Not long ago, zero-run cars proposed the first domestic CTC technology that can be mass-produced, and will be applied to the upcoming zero-run C01, but for this technology has not received much consumer attention, the reason is very simple, first of all, BYD and Tesla have proposed CTC technology a long time ago, zero-run cars may be the fastest mass production, but by no means the first to propose the concept of the enterprise.
Secondly, for zero-running cars, even if C01 will be introduced to the market quickly, its own manufacturing process is not fine enough, how reliable the battery is, whether the battery consumption can meet the needs of users, and how high the integration of CTC is unknown.
Finally, although the concept of CTC technology is simple and clear, it requires the main engine factory to have a very strong overall horizontal control ability, which requires technical background and enterprise capabilities from many aspects such as body structure, battery design, and BMS battery management system, so for zero-run C01, whether it can be accepted by the market is also an important issue next.
Second place: Xiaopeng Motors
In April, Xiaopeng Automobile's performance was not bright enough, slipping from the first place last month to the second place this month. In April 2022, Xiaopeng Automobile delivered 9,002 units, down 41.6% month-on-month and 74.9% year-on-year. Narrowly won the third place Nezha car.
In terms of specific models, 3,714 Units of the Xiaopeng P7 were delivered, 3,564 units of the Xiaopeng P5 and 1,724 units of the Xiaopeng G3 series were delivered. From January to April this year, Xiaopeng Automobile delivered a total of 43,563 units, an increase of 136% year-on-year.
At present, Xiaopeng is on sale with Xiaopeng P7, Xiaopeng G3 and Xiaopeng P5 and other models, although the epidemic and chips have a greater impact on Xiaopeng Automobile, but fortunately, the decline of Xiaopeng is not large, plus the overall model of Xiaopeng has a good price advantage relative to Weilai and Ideal, so the overall impact of this month is not too big.
Third place: Nezha Car
Compared with the delivery volume of 12,026 units last month, the performance of Nezha Automobile this month has also shown a downward trend, and in April 2022, the delivery volume of Nezha Automobile was 8813 units, down 26.7% month-on-month and 74.9% year-on-year, ranking third among the new car-making forces.
Although it has been affected by multiple influences, Nezha Automobile has entered a relatively stable stage and remained in the first echelon of the new car-making forces.
In 2022, the delivery target of Nezha Automobile is 150,000 units, and at the same time, Nezha Automobile will also launch the first model of the Shanhai platform, Nezha S. This car can not only fill the current blank market of Nezha Automobile in the field of cars, but also help Nezha achieve further improvement in sales.
Fourth place: NIO
In April 2022, the delivery volume of WEILAI Automobile was only 5074 vehicles, down 49.2% month-on-month and 28.6% year-on-year, although it was one place ahead of last month's ranking, but it was still ranked after Nezha Automobile.
Since July last year, the performance of Weilai Automobile has not been stable enough, and the position that has previously occupied the top position of the new car-making force has also been continuously squeezed out. The former "Wei Xiaoli" has also been gradually replaced.
At this stage, the product strength of WEILAI ES6, ES8 and EC6 is not enough to support the market segment, and WEILAI ET7, ET5, and ES7 have not achieved mass production delivery, and cannot form a product replacement. From the current situation analysis, although Weilai has a good performance in cumulative delivery, it is only a matter of time before it continues to develop according to this momentum, and it is only a matter of time before it is surpassed by other new car-making forces.
Fifth place: Ideal car
Although ideal cars have achieved very good results in the market with an ideal one model, this month, the overall performance of ideal cars is still not ideal.
In April 2022, the delivery volume of ideal cars was 4167 units, down 62.2% month-on-month and 24.8% year-on-year, ranking fifth among new car-making forces.

Although the current market is plagued by factors such as the epidemic, lack of core, price increases, etc., the suspension of production and the decline in delivery volume are also helpless moves, but for the new car-making forces, the more in this situation, the more it can reflect how high the risk coefficient of a car company is, after all, in the next time, the competition of the new car-making forces will be more intense, who can get the recognition of consumers in such an environment, who will be more stable in the market.
