The nine major car companies 2018 semi-annual results released, Geely became the biggest highlight

Time came to mid-July, and as the auto market entered the off-season, major auto groups also released sales data for the first half of the year. From the perspective of the broader market, the overall output in the first half of this year was 14.085 million units, an increase of 4.15% year-on-year. The overall sales volume was 14.067 million units, an increase of 5.57% year-on-year. The overall growth rate of this achievement is still quite optimistic, compared with the beginning of the year. Analysts believe that 3% is actually very good.

So which car groups have driven the rise of the overall car market, and which car companies are not doing their best? Next, the author will simply check out the mid-year performance of the domestic nine major automobile groups. They are FAW, BAIC, SAIC, GAC, Changan, Dongfeng, Geely, Great Wall and Chery.

FAW Group

Sales in the first half of the year: 1.713 million units

Year-on-year change: 7.1%

FAW Group's cumulative sales in the first half of this year was 1.713 million units, a year-on-year increase of 7.1%. However, FAW Group still relies on FAW-Volkswagen. Because FAW-Volkswagen's cumulative sales reached 797,700 units, an increase of 9.6% year-on-year, while FAW Toyota's cumulative sales volume was 356,100 units, a slight increase of 0.5% year-on-year, while FAW Mazda only had 101,200 units, down 5.2% year-on-year.

After the strategic adjustment of Tianjin FAW, its sales volume reached 12,500 units, an increase of 11.3% year-on-year. FAW Hongqi also had 9363 sets under the guidance of the new strategy, let us see some hope.

BAIC Group

Sales in the first half of the year: 1.203 million units

Year-on-year change: 7.6% increase

The cumulative sales volume of BAIC Group during the year of work this year was 1.203 million units, an increase of 7.6% year-on-year. This achievement achieved 41.5% of their annual target of 2.9 million units. To achieve such results, BAIC's joint venture company is the focus. Beijing Benz has sold a total of 252,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%. Beijing Hyundai has sold 380,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 26.2%.

The growth rate of the two joint ventures, Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai, exceeded the overall growth of the group, which means that the performance of BAIC's autonomy is actually not good. The cumulative sales volume of Beiqi Yinxiang was 109,900 units, down 9.9% year-on-year. The cumulative sales volume of Beijing Automobile was 79,100 units, down 24.6% year-on-year. The only way for BAIC to get the most out of it is new energy. They achieved sales of 54,000 units in the first half of this year, up 78.5% year-on-year, but this is still a lot worse than the 150,000 units they set at the beginning of the year.

SAIC

Sales in the first half of the year: 3.52 million units

Year-on-year change: 10.9% increase

SAIC Group's sales volume in the first half of the year was 3.52 million units. This achievement is still the "aircraft carrier" in China's auto industry. The year-on-year growth of 10.9% also made us see the strong momentum of SAIC. SAIC Group achieved such results, basically a joint venture and independent development. In terms of joint venture brands, SAIC Volkswagen and SAIC-GM respectively seized 1.02 million units and 957,700 units, respectively, with year-on-year growth rates of 5.2% and 10.4%, respectively. Wuling also had a record of 1.052 million units, a year-on-year increase of 3.8%.

In SAIC's autonomous passenger cars, their MG and Roewe contributed a total of 359,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 53.7%, and SAIC Chase also had a score of 66,600 units, an increase of 36.6%. It is foreseeable that SAIC’s aircraft carrier will still be very strong in the second half of the year, and they are still the most influential automobile group in China.

Guangzhou Automobile Group

Sales in the first half of the year: 1.017 million units

Year-on-year change: an increase of 5.53%

Guangzhou Automobile Group sold 1.017 million units in the first half of this year, a year-on-year increase of 5.53%. Compared with SAIC, GAC Group relies more on the performance of the joint venture company. We all know that Guangzhou Automobile Group currently has four major joint ventures. Among them, GAC Toyota's cumulative sales volume was 255,400 units, up 16.37% year-on-year. Guangqi Honda's cumulative sales volume was 338,900 units, up 5.49% year-on-year. GAC Mitsubishi's cumulative sales volume was 75,200 units, up 38.64% year-on-year. These three brands became The most important growth point of Guangzhou Automobile Group.

However, Guangzhou Automobile Group is not smooth, and GAC Fick and GAC Chuanqi's performance is relatively general. Among them, GAC Fick's sales volume was 70,300 units, down 35.17% year-on-year, and Guangzhou Automobile's cumulative sales volume was 268,200 units, up 6.9% year-on-year. Although it is still growing year-on-year, it is a bit weaker than last year's rapid momentum, and this growth rate is also lower than the growth rate of the entire group, in other words, it is dragging its feet.

Changan Group

Sales in the first half of the year: 1.207 million units

Year-on-year change: 15.5% decline

Changan Group's cumulative sales in the first half of this year was 1.207 million units, a drop of 15.5% year-on-year. This is the only one in the nine major automobile groups. Why Changan Group’s performance is so bad, mainly because the joint venture company has dragged its feet. It is also strange to say that the joint venture company is the main force, and Changan’s joint venture company is a “dumping oil bottle”, which is really incomprehensible.

Changan Ford sold 227,700 new cars in the first half of the year, down 38.9% year-on-year. Changan Mazda sold a total of 90,200 units, a slight decline year-on-year. It is basically Baoping. If Changan Suzuki is basically no longer exists, no matter whether it can be withdrawn from China. Changan Suzuki lost the game, Changan Peugeot Citroen sales of only 2022 units, I do not know where to go in the future. The performance of Changan Automobile's own brand also declined, with the result of 497,000 units falling by 14.9%.

Dongfeng Group

Sales in the first half of the year: 1.510 million units

Year-on-year change: 2.64% increase

Dongfeng Group's sales volume in the first half of this year was 1.510 million units, a year-on-year increase of 2.64%. It can achieve positive growth. Dongfeng Group has to thank Dongfeng Nissan for its outstanding performance. Dongfeng Nissan's cumulative sales volume in the first half of the year was 540,500 units, an increase of 14.1% year-on-year. It can be said that Carry has grown the momentum of the entire Dongfeng Group.

In addition to Dongfeng Nissan, basically all the joint venture brands of the Dongfeng system are declining. Dongfeng Honda has been affected by the “operator throttle”, with cumulative sales of 321,300 units, down 4.1% year-on-year, and Dongfeng Renault’s cumulative sales volume of 37,000 units. A small drop of 1.1%, Dongfeng Infiniti cumulative sales of 11500 units, down 9.9% year-on-year, Dongfeng Yulong cumulative sales of 6.87, down 27.3%.

Dongfeng's autonomy is also not ideal. Dongfeng Liuzhou sold 73,800 units, down 28.1% year-on-year. Dongfeng Xiaokang's cumulative sales volume was 145,100 units, down 10.2% year-on-year. Dongfeng Fengshen's cumulative sales volume was 52,300 units, down 18.3% year-on-year.

Geely Group

Sales in the first half of the year: 767,000 units

Year-on-year change: 44% increase

Geely Automobile has been on a super-fast-growing road since last year. This year they have continued this strong momentum. They have completed 49% of the 1.58 million bird sales set at the beginning of the year. The overall development pace is very stable. . Geely's steady play has a great relationship with the sales of very healthy products. In addition to the overall growth of SUVs, the lineup of Vision, Emgrand and Borui is very strong in car products, especially Emgrand, which has always been autonomous cars. The sales champion.

It is worth mentioning that the Lectra brand, as the main brand of Geely's upward climbing, the sales volume of the Lectra 01 continues to climb. It has climbed to the level of 9247 units last month and is already coming to the Wantai Club. 46,252 units, this result is also very good. At present, the Lectra 02 has also been listed. With the price drop and the release of sales, the future Lectra brand will definitely have better performance.

Great Wall Group

Sales in the first half of the year: 472,000 units

Year-on-year change: 2.34% increase

In the first half of this year, Great Wall Motor sold 472,000 units, a slight increase of 2.34% year-on-year. It completed 40% of the 1.16 million targets set at the beginning of the year. The results can only be regarded as general. The main problem is the growth of SUV products. The problem of powerlessness, because the performance of the entire SUV market has not been good since 2018, in the past June, the SUV market has a negative growth of 4.4%. In the first half of this year, the sales volume of the Great Wall SUV was 403,000 units, a year-on-year increase of only 1.32%.

In terms of brand segmentation, the cumulative sales volume of Harvard brand in the first half of this year was 325,300 units, down 17.55% year-on-year. The cumulative sales volume of WEY brand was 77,600 units. The overall score was relatively stable, but from the ring point of view, VV7 fell by 4.48 in June. %, VV5 fell by 7.93%, and the performance is not particularly outstanding.

Chery Group

Sales in the first half of the year: 343,000 units

Year-on-year change: 8.8% growth

Chery Group's sales volume in the first half of this year was 343,000 units, an increase of 8.8% year-on-year. The main reason for this achievement is that its brands have performed well. The cumulative sales of Guanzhi reached 30,500 units, an increase of more than 400%. Jaguar Land Rover The sales of 79,000 units, an increase of 178,000 units, the Chery brand sold 21.18 million units, an increase of 4.5%.

In addition, the cumulative sales of Chery's new energy vehicles also reached 33,400 units, a surge of 258.7% year-on-year. Chery's performance this year is still good, although the total amount is different from the top ranked group, but the overall growth momentum is still happy.

Written at the end

Through the sales data of major groups, it is not difficult to see that in addition to the growth of SAIC, Geely, Great Wall and Chery's own brands, other auto groups are basically relying on joint-venture vehicles to drive sales, with the development of the auto market, polarization I am afraid that the phenomenon will continue. Who can win and who will be eliminated? We will wait and see.
