China Automobile Association: Sales of new energy vehicles in May reached 447,000, an increase of 1.1 times year-on-year


Since the beginning of this year, China's auto industry has been under great pressure as a whole. Although the first two months had a good start, we should also see that the terminal market has shown signs of weakness since the end of last year, especially for traditional fuel vehicles. The terminal inventory warning index Continue to be above the line of prosperity and decline. After entering the middle of March, the domestic epidemic situation showed a rapid and frequent trend, the smooth economic cycle encountered obvious constraints, the difficulties of market players increased significantly, and the new downward pressure was further increased. The auto industry is facing the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock, and weakening expectations, and the task of stabilizing growth is very arduous. 

In the second quarter of this year, due to the impact of the epidemic and other factors, the industrial chain and supply chain have been greatly impacted, the terminal market has been greatly affected due to normal business operations, and consumers are waiting to see the market, resulting in large fluctuations in production and sales in the short term . With the introduction of a series of national and local policies to ensure economic growth, the policy effects will be gradually released, the normal economic order will be restored quickly, and the economic operation will soon return to the normal track. Enterprises in the industry are making every effort to seize the important window period in the last month of the second quarter, and while stabilizing the production and sales situation in the second quarter, they are striving to maintain full-year expectations. Especially after entering June, policies such as halving the purchase tax have begun to exert force. It is expected that the production and sales situation will continue to improve in June.
