Battle report! In April, the heavy truck breaks 100,000 again! Liberation sales doubled

According to the latest production and sales data of China Automobile Association, the sales volume of heavy trucks in April was 104,400, an increase of 51.52% year-on-year. From January to April, cumulative sales of heavy trucks totaled 386,400, a cumulative increase of 79.71%.

It should be noted that the sales of heavy trucks in April exceeded 100,000 units - this means that following the sales of 2010 (11.59 million units) and 2011 (106,200 units), heavy truck sales in April will once again embark on 100,000 after 6 years of silence. Car steps!

Among them, the sales of semi-trailer tractors were 224,600, which accounted for 58% of the total sales of heavy trucks, which accounted for more than half of the market; the sales of trailers for the first half of January increased by 117.01% year-on-year – the cumulative increase of tractor-trailers far exceeded the cumulative number of heavy trucks. Increase!

In April, the liberation of heavy trucks sold 22,000 units and regained the championship of monthly sales. In March, Dongfeng had liberation with the slight advantage of 384 vehicles and became the monthly crown in March. In January-April, the cumulative sales of liberation heavy trucks totaled 90,900 vehicles, more than double the 45,000 vehicles sold in the same period last year.

In April, the runner-up of heavy-duty truck sales was Dongfeng, with 20,500 vehicles sold per month. It also successfully climbed 20,000 vehicles. In the four months before Dongfeng, the cumulative sales volume of heavy trucks was 72,500, a cumulative increase of 76.67%. Compared to the emancipation of the Big Brother, Dongfeng has a sales gap of 18,000 units in January-August, which is almost a month's sales. It seems that the space for efforts is still relatively large.

CNHTC is still firmly in third place. In April, it sold 18,000 units and accumulated sales of 64,200 units. The cumulative increase was 77.49%.

Shaanxi Automobile sold 14,200 units in April, accumulatively selling 56,000 units, and accumulatively increased by 81.41% - Kankan was able to run through the broader market. Fukuda sold 10,500 vehicles in April and just passed the threshold of 10,000 vehicles. From January to April, the cumulative sales volume was 37,400, a cumulative increase of 48.88%.

At the same time, on the current transcripts, the gap between Futian and its steamroller Shaanxi Automobile is also growing. In the cumulative sales for the January-April period, Fukuda was behind the 18,700 units of Shaanxi Auto, which was almost two months of sales in Fukuda. In the same period of last year, the cumulative sales volume between Futian and Shaanxi Auto was only 0.58 million.

From the comparison of the cumulative growth rate of each brand, it can be found that although the accumulated growth rate of heavy truck market in January-April reached 79.71%, only four manufacturers outperformed the market, namely SAIC Hongyan, Jiefang, Shaanxi Automobile and Hualing, and the rest. Six are lower than the broader market. Moreover, in the four outperformed markets, SAIC Hongyan had the highest growth rate of 148.53%, followed by liberation with a cumulative increase of 102.39%. In Fukuda, the cumulative growth rate of heavy trucks in January-April was 48.88%, which was at the bottom.

In the first four months of 2017, sales in the heavy-duty truck market surpassed one wave, almost catching up with the prevalence in 2010. In 2010, heavy-duty trucks sold 1.01 million vehicles, which is a milestone in the history of heavy-duty trucks in China.

The reason is that in addition to the need for overload control and vehicle replacement, the national five emission standards have been fully rolled out. At the same time, the “13th Five-Year Plan” has advanced, a large number of infrastructure construction has been accelerated, and multi-site projects have started. Sales of construction vehicles and dump trucks continued to increase. In addition, the Xiong'an New District construction project will be launched, which will in turn bring immeasurable Blue Ocean markets to infrastructure construction, logistics and transportation industries.

With all these factors stimulating, for the freight market, 2017 is destined to be an extraordinary year. Let us wait and see!
