New Energy Vehicle Sales in China: In July, new energy vehicles (including battery-only and hybrid cars) outsold traditional fuel-powered cars for the first time in China, accounting for 51% of new passenger car sales, a significant increase from 36% a year ago.
Market Trends and Government Support: Despite an overall decline in auto sales by 2.8%, retail sales of new energy vehicles surged by nearly 37%. The Chinese government continues to support this sector through subsidies and favorable policies, while competition has led to a price war among manufacturers.
