In the first half of 2014, the domestic automotive gasoline engine market was firmly occupied by joint venture brands. FAW-Volkswagen, SAIC-GM-Wuling and Shanghai Volkswagen Power took the top three positions with super high sales, especially FAW-Volkswagen, with a record of 918,600. Outstanding among all competitors, 26.1% of the steady growth also fully reflects the strength of FAW-Volkswagen in gasoline engine sales.
Compared with FAW-Volkswagen, Shanghai Volkswagen, as a brother, is not to be outdone. In the first half of the year, sales of Shanghai Volkswagen gasoline engines climbed 37.2% from last year's 479,500 units to 657,800 units, surpassing Shanghai GM Dongyue Power, ranking third. SAIC-GM-Wuling is far behind FAW-Volkswagen, and the gap of 150,000 units is not chasing after the day. It seems that there is still a long way to go to become the leader of gasoline engine sales. At the same time, it faces a faster growth rate. Shanghai Volkswagen Power, the score of 749,200 units seems to be insufficient to rest easy, how to improve product competitiveness is the top priority of Shanghai GM Wuling. It is also worth mentioning that Chongqing Changan is the only self-owned car company in the top ten domestic sales of gasoline engines. It also has a good performance. The sales volume of 535,000 surpassed Beijing Hyundai's 150,000 units, and the growth rate was 17.3%. Let us have confidence that we will achieve better results in Changan in the future. The growth of Shenlong Automobile is close to 30%, which is second only to Shanghai Volkswagen Power. At the same time, Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi also has a good speed of improvement. In contrast, Dongfeng Nissan and Liuzhou Wuling Liuji are the only two sales decliners among the top ten companies, with a decline rate of 6.5% and 2.5% respectively.
Contrary to the situation in which gasoline engines are firmly occupied by joint venture brands, the diesel engine market is dominated by independent brands. The reason is that diesel engines are mostly large diesel engines for commercial vehicles such as trucks and trucks, and foreign and joint venture brands are less infiltrated. On the other hand, domestic diesel vehicles are restricted and policies are controlled, so that large diesel engines are concentrated in domestic enterprises. among.
Compared with the gasoline engine market, the diesel engine market is generally not high. The highest growth rate of Beiqi Foton is only 16.4%. However, due to the small base, it has not affected the overall market structure. Yuchai, Weichai, FAW Xichai and Quanchai have sold more than 200,000 state-owned enterprises, which are the four giants in the diesel vehicle market. In the first half of the sales, Yuchai and FAW Xichai achieved steady growth, although the growth rate is relatively low, but due to its large sales base, it still has a significant impact on the diesel engine market. However, compared with last year's sales, Weichai and Quanchai have experienced a year-on-year decline, especially for all diesel, which has fallen to 14.3%. This has also caused it to lose its top three position and fall to fourth because of its large sales base. It has a great impact on the entire diesel engine market.
Comprehensive analysis, the domestic engine market sales in the first half of the year showed an upward trend, an increase of 9.3%, gasoline engines accounted for 82.3% of the overall market, is the main force in the engine sales market. The diesel engine is affected by the policy, and it is mostly matched with heavy machinery such as trucks, heavy trucks, bulldozers, etc., and the control rights are mostly in the hands of state-owned enterprises, which also causes the sales growth rate to be low. With the introduction of the national oil products, the requirements for engines, especially diesel engines, will become higher and higher in the future. Improving the technical level of diesel engines and developing clean green power will become a direction for engine development in the future.
