Talk every Monday: automobile production and sales stopped falling in 21 years and accelerated recovery in 22 years
In 2021, China's cumulative production and sales of 26.082 million and 26.275 million vehicles were completed respectively, with production and sales of + 3.4% and + 3.8% respectively year-on-year over the past 20 years, ending the downward trend for three consecutive years since 18 years and turning positive on the whole. The annual sales volume of 22 years was 27.5 million, a year-on-year increase of + 5%.
Passenger cars: the annual production and sales were 21.408 million and 21.482 million respectively, with a year-on-year increase of + 7.1% and + 6.5% respectively. In December, the production and sales of 2527000 and 242200 vehicles were completed respectively, with a year-on-year increase of + 8.4% and + 2% respectively, and a month-on-month increase of + 13.2% and + 10.5% respectively. Independent brands are still strong, accounting for 46.9% in December. In the past 22 years, we paid more attention to the continuation of independent strength and the recovery of joint venture brands. In the past 22 years, the sales volume was 23 million, + 7%.
Commercial vehicles: the annual production and sales were 4.674 million and 4.793 million respectively, with a year-on-year increase of - 10.7% and - 6.6% respectively.

The year is under pressure due to demand overdraft and insufficient demand. In the short term, there is still uncertainty on the demand side of commercial vehicles such as infrastructure, real estate, logistics and passenger transport, which may enter the adjustment period.

The penetration rate of new energy vehicles was 19.1% and that of new energy passenger vehicles was 20.6%. In the past 22 years, we continued to be optimistic about independent brands, accelerated the increase in volume and joint venture to fill vacancies, and the annual sales volume of new energy was 6 million.
