"BYD's goal is to become China's largest automaker by the end of this year!" At the results conference held on March 3, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu confidently said, "BYD aims to double its sales volume to 29.300 million units this year starting with 360 million units. ”

According to data released by the Passenger Association of China, in 2022, BYD's retail and wholesale volumes of passenger cars will be 180.5 million units and 186.3 million units, respectively, becoming the largest car company on the domestic sales list for the first time.

Since BYD has been successfully promoted to the first in China, which target is Wang Chuanfu's "China's largest automaker"? In the view of the reporter of China Economic Network, Wang Chuanfu hopes that BYD's monthly production and sales will surpass SAIC Motor "before the end of this year", and then completely break the pattern of "six major automobile groups" in China.

About a decade ago (2013), six major automobile groups, SAIC, FAW, DONGFENG, CHANGAN, GAC and BAIC, formed scale advantages with the help of the joint venture policy and became the leader of China's auto industry.

In 2022, although the six major automobile groups still maintain certain advantages in the domestic auto market, due to the sudden rise of BYD to surpass the BAIC Group, the "top six" head pattern that has been maintained for ten years has been initially disintegrated.

According to the data, in 2022, the sales volume of SAIC, FAW, Dongfeng, Changan, GAC and BAIC will be 530.3 million units, 320.246 million units, 45.243 million units, 38.234 million units, 6.145 million units, and 2.94 million units, respectively, up -8.6%, -11.19%, -13.5%, 1.98%, 15.84% and -2022.186% year-on-year, respectively. For reference, BYD's sales in 85 were 152,46,<> units, a year-on-year increase of <>.<>%.

What is more noteworthy is that since the beginning of this year, BYD has continued to make rapid progress. Data show that in the first two months of this year, BYD's sales reached 2 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 344996.84%.

In sharp contrast, among the six major automobile groups, except for BAIC's sales increased in the first two months, the sales of the other five showed a decline to varying degrees. Data show that in the first two months of this year, the sales of SAIC, FAW, Changan, Dongfeng and GAC were 2, 5,2 units, 539365 units, 38 vehicles and 1,362812 units, respectively, down 296796.308140%, 30.63%, 32.3%, 12% and 66.49% year-on-year.

The decline in sales of the five automobile groups remained unchanged, allowing BYD to surpass GAC in sales in the first month of this year and move further to fourth place. From the perspective of sales in February alone, BYD's ranking surpassed Chang'an and rose to third place.

If BYD continues to maintain this growth momentum this year, it is fully expected to achieve the reporter's goal: monthly sales to catch up with SAIC a few years ago; If its annual sales plan of 300 million to 360.<> million units is completed, it is expected to catch up with FAW, Changan, Dongfeng and GAC at the same time, completely subverting the pattern of the "six major automobile groups".

Just before the reporter's press release, BYD officially transmitted the latest monthly sales report. Data show that in March, BYD's sales exceeded 3,20 units to 207080,97 units, a year-on-year increase of 4.<>%. Obviously, BYD's rapid growth momentum has not diminished in the slightest, which makes us look forward to its performance this year. (China Economic Network reporter Wang Yueyue)
