Yesterday, the China Automotive Industry Association (hereinafter referred to as "in Steam Association"), published in February's national automobile production and sales figures. From the data, in February auto production and sales chain down, up, the month the sales 1.2115 million, respectively. This data last month decreased by 27% over the same period last year 46%.
In the conference, the Secretary-General of steam co-Dong Yang, said in February auto production and sales situation is good.
The past two months, data shows that in 2010 U.S. car sales could further widen the gap. In 2009 as a whole, sales of cars in China than the United States more than 3.4 million. 1,2 months of this year, China's total vehicle sales of 2.87 million, the United States 1.48 million, the former is almost twice the latter.
From specific models show that, in February of the "down" to continue to maintain high growth momentum is the SUV, sales rose by 1.22 times. Prior to that, there are professional analysts, the market's bright spot in 2010, will return to SUV and MPV, at least, judging from the February, partly confirmed this view.
In addition to SUV, the semi-trailer tractor is the biggest increase year on year breakdown of models, production and sales were up over last year by 10.6 times and 5.82 times. Taking into account last year, in February, the financial crisis on the real economy most affected, demand for semi-trailer tractor fell to historic lows. As the national economy slowly pick up, this year's sharp increase in year on year, which should be expected.
From the displacement of view, 1.6L and below the dominant model, 2009, in the acquisition of tax policy, under the guidance of halving, 1.6L and the following models the proportion of total passenger cars compared with 2008 increased by 8 percentage points, reaching 70%. In the first two months of such models continue to perform well in the passenger-car market share increased again, reaching 72%.
Although the margin of preference in 2010 reduced the purchase tax by 2.5 percentage points, but the first two months of such models continued to show in short supply, along with the recent structure of all enterprises and capacity adjustments, Dong Yang is expected tight supply and demand situation of such models will soon be eased.
In addition to the performance of 1.6L and the following displacement is still eye-catching models, the independent brand's outstanding performance in February's auto market has a bright spot. In February, passenger car brands were sold 477.4 thousand, accounting for 50.63% of total passenger cars sold, the remaining market share from Japan, Germany, the United States, France, South Korea and other countries. Since last year, sales of own brands to win half of the domestic market share continue to keep this momentum.

At present, the Japanese car after the own brand ranked second, accounting for 19.8% of passenger-car market.
According to February's sales of the situation, Xiong Chuan-Lin predicted China's auto sales in 2015, has maintained 10% ~ 15% growth, and sales in 2010 may reach 16.5 million.
Since last year, China's car market for the extremely rapid growth, Dong Yang believes that different from other industries, the automotive industry at present does not exist a bubble, car prices have also shown an overall downward trend.
