In May, the sales of cars have grown negatively. The German system has surpassed the Japanese system.

Following the first negative growth in the auto market in April, new car sales continued to show a negative growth in May, and the decline over the same period last year. On June 9th, the latest production and sales data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers showed that the production and sales of automobiles reached 1,348,900 and 1,382,800 vehicles, respectively, which was 12.14% and 10.90% lower than the previous month, a 4.89% decrease from the same period of last year. % and 3.98%; from January to May, automobile production and sales completed 7,777,700 units and 7,791,200 vehicles, respectively, an increase of 3.19% and 4.06% year-on-year, respectively, an increase of 52.4 and 49.19 percentage points over the same period of last year. The only good news is that in May, 72,100 vehicles were exported, a record high.

The worst time has not yet passed. For weak car sales in May, the analysis of the CFS pointed out that the fuel price fluctuations in May were very severe. After a sustained surge, the price dropped drastically. After the rebound at the end of the month, it fluctuates violently at around US$100/bbl, which is generally high. The oil price, the contraction of the auto market is inevitable; the measures for bus treatment and the disclosure of three fees are further severe, and the auto market continues to shrink slightly.

Not only that, due to the withdrawal of the financial subsidy policy to promote the auto market; the national economic growth rate is declining; monetary policy tightened, deposit and lending rates are rising and many other factors, the CJTU is still not optimistic about market expectations. This year, the overall forecast for the auto market is negative growth. Cui Dongshu, deputy secretary-general of the National Passenger Vehicle Market Information Association, said that if the hidden car sales last year were counted as sales last year, then the car market this year is a more negative growth.

According to Rao Da, General Secretary of the Federation of Travel Unions, sales of narrow passenger vehicles in June were slightly higher than in May, but the cumulative market growth rate of passenger vehicle retail sales in the first half of the year may be less than half of the 2008 unfavorable market. Therefore, the most difficult period of the car market has not yet passed.

"This kind of weak sales may continue into July and August. At the same time, because the sales base after September last year is very large, it is difficult to increase in the fourth quarter of this year. Therefore, negative growth will not be ruled out throughout the year." Dongfeng Honda Liu Yuchun, Deputy Minister of Sales, told this reporter that “the consumer spending in the previous year and last two years was too large, and this year’s return to normal is not necessarily a bad thing.”

The market share of local brand passenger cars continued to fall. The shock of the Japanese earthquake on Japanese cars continued to ferment. In April, the sales fell further in May when sales were sluggish. What attracts people's attention is that in the absence of car sources, the price of Japanese cars is firm, which in turn makes its market share further decline. In May, the Japanese, German, U.S., Korean, and French systems sold 153,800, 186,500, 126,800, 93,100 and 30,200 vehicles, respectively, which accounted for 14.74% of the total passenger vehicle sales. 17.88%, 12.16%, 8.93% and 2.90%, Japanese share is rarely surpassed by German.

In May, local brand passenger vehicles sold a total of 452,500 vehicles, which was a decrease of 9.91% month-on-month and a decrease of 5.91% year-on-year, accounting for 43.39% of the total passenger vehicle sales. The occupancy rate decreased by 0.58 percentage points month-on-month and 2.71 percentage points year-on-year.

According to statistics from the CLUCC, in addition to Dongfeng Nissan’s record of 57,000 vehicles, the sales of the other four Japanese manufacturers including Guangzhou Automobile Honda, Dongfeng Honda, FAW Toyota, and GAC Toyota did not exceed 20,000 in May. Some of them were normal. 1/4 to 1/3 of the month.

Accor and Camry have sold more than 15,000 vehicles in the past month. In May, the sales volume was only about 6,000. The Corolla and Corolla were also frequent visitors to the 10,000 clubs. In May, only 2,000 units were in the SUV. The CR-V also fell from 15,000 to 5,000.

In contrast, the Nissan performance is still relatively good, Tian Hao won the B-class car championship with 12,000 results, sales increased by more than 4,000 vehicles in April, Sylphy and Hacker also maintain a high level, it is learned that Nissan is Fully mobilize global resources to support the Chinese market because the Chinese market has higher profits, while Toyota and Honda insist on a global balanced development strategy and do not have too much resources for China.

“We are on a three-day shift and a four-day vacation,” said a senior executive of a Japanese auto company that did not wish to be named. “It is expected that production will gradually return to normal in July and August. I hope that we can make up for some in the second half of the year. loss."
