SHANGHAI, Aug 12 (SMM) - The ranking of emerging car makers changed drastically in July, with most companies achieving a substantial increase in delivery, except for NIO.

LiAuto delivered 8,589 vehicles in July, surpassing NIO and Xiaopeng and topping the list in terms of delivery volume. The main reason is that its modified models have significantly upgraded hardware and software configuration and improved fuel consumption and driving range, making it more attractive to consumers.

Xiaopeng delivered 8,040 cars in July, ranking the second. The debut of LFP version Xpeng P7, which is cheaper than the old model, boosted sales.

NIO delivered just 7,931 cars in July, 1.9% lower than in June. The delivery volume of NIO was lower than that of LiAuto and Xiaopeng for the first time this year. This is because its rival introduced standard-range Model Y at lower prices and NIO lacks flagship model.

In terms of cumulative sales, NIO still ranked first with a total delivery volume of 49,800 units by relying on its high-quality services and customer loyalty. The gap between LiAuto and Xiaopeng gradually narrowed as LiAuto was catching up quickly. LiAuto may outstrip Xiaopeng in August as the upcoming price cuts of Model3 and BYD Han, the two most powerful rivals of Xiaopeng P7, may have certain impact on sales of Xiaopeng P7. The delivery volume of Hozon Auto and Leap Motor exceeded 6,000 units and 4,000 units respectively in July, achieving 5 consecutive months of increases.

[CAAM on FAW-GAC Strategic Cooperation: Calls for Better Support Policies]
On September 29, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) published an article titled “FAW and GAC’s Strategic Cooperation Provides a New Model for High-Quality Industrial Development.” It said that, objectively speaking, corporate equity cooperation and strategic restructuring involve assets, personnel, debt, and local interests. Cross-regional integration still faces practical problems such as the transfer of production capacity quotas, tax revenue sharing, and long approval chains, which to some extent constrain industrial consolidation and high-end development. CAAM will continue to serve as a bridge between the government and enterprises, promptly collect and report the difficulties and demands encountered by enterprises during integration, and call on relevant parties to improve supporting policies in areas such as capacity replacement, tax revenue sharing, asset disposal, and personnel resettlement, so as to clear obstacles for market-based integration. At the same time, CAAM will strengthen operations monitoring and industry self-discipline, promote typical experience in resource integration, guide enterprises toward rational development, orderly competition, and collaborative innovation, and foster an industrial ecosystem featuring survival of the fittest and collaborative progress. This will inject stronger momentum into the high-quality development of China’s intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry and accelerate the building of a world automotive power.
