SAIC-GM-Wuling, which won the mini vehicle sales championship consecutively in 2006 and 2007, announced its sales in the first half of this year. Despite the impact of factors such as steel price hikes, high oil prices, and implementation of the National III Standard, SAIC-GM-Wuling’s sales volume in the first six months still set a new record in the mini vehicle sector, reaching 351,831 units. Among them, the mini-commercial vehicles showed strong performance, an increase of 17.7% year-on-year, setting a new high of 331,802 in one fell swoop, and the market share was about 46%, accounting for almost half of the entire market. According to reports, SAIC-GM-Wuling’s sales target for 2008 was 620,000 in total. In the first half of the year, it has completed 57% of the annual sales task. From the current sales situation, the target of completing 620,000 vehicles in the year is expected to be achieved in advance. In addition, sales volume of new products such as Wuling Hongtu and Wuling Rongguang continued to climb, and sales volume should further increase in the second half of the year.
Since the first half of this year, SAIC-GM-Wuling has made continuous breakthroughs in product quality and technological innovation, especially the launch of Wuling Hongtu and Wuling Rongguang, as well as the B-engine with "high-power, low fuel consumption" characteristics at Wuling. The successful matching of Wuling Hongtu and Wuling Rongguang not only won the full recognition of the market, but also greatly enhanced the brand image of SAIC-GM-Wuling.
