Moreover, from 2065438+July 2008, China auto market has experienced negative growth for 20 consecutive months.
Although it seems that the manufacturers are not doing well, don't forget that this is an extraordinary period. So what about their respective sales performance?
FAW-Volkswagen?
In February, the sales of 1 and 2 were still won by North and South Volkswagen, among which FAW-Volkswagen ranked 1 sold 30 185 vehicles in February, down 73.7% year-on-year; The cumulative sales volume of1-February was 2 17599 vehicles, down 28.9% year-on-year, but compared with the sales volume of 1 14700 vehicles in the same period last year, the gap is still very large. The models supporting FAW-Volkswagen's sales in February were Bora, which positioned compact cars, and Magotan, which positioned medium-sized cars, with sales of 4,640 and 3,327 respectively.
SAIC-GM?
In February, SAIC-GM sold13,912 vehicles, down 83.5% year-on-year; 1-The cumulative sales in February were 138, 1 12 vehicles, down 47.5% year-on-year. As the largest and most representative automobile group in China, SAIC's manufacturers saw an avalanche of sales in this epidemic, reflecting the difficulties faced by the whole industry. SAIC-GM's decline almost hit a record low. According to informed sources, the cold wave for two consecutive years has put pressure on the company's performance, and now the arrival of the epidemic has intensified this pressure. Therefore, in order to cope with the crisis, we have to take the form of layoffs and salary cuts to accelerate "slimming". If the terminal sales continue to be bleak, then the future of SAIC-GM will be really difficult.
Chery automobile?

In February, H6 sold 4,033 cars, which almost became the backbone of the Haval family.
Finally?
The automobile market under the epidemic situation is very similar to that during the SARS period in 2003. What about the automobile industry in that year? According to statistics, the automobile sales in China in 2002 was 324,865,438+million, and in 2003 it was 4,390,800. Comparing the time nodes before and after, the growth rate in these two years is the fastest, even reaching 30%, which is unimaginable for any automobile market with a million or more. This also shows that. SARS did not have a devastating impact on the automobile industry.
And different from the SARS period, many policies and measures to encourage automobile consumption have been introduced from the central government to the local governments, and the purchase restriction policies in some megacities and first-tier cities have shown signs of "loosening". Therefore, compared with when the domestic automobile industry recovers, which models are more favorable deserve our in-depth understanding.
