news

the production and sales of various new energy vehicle companies in august are released. let's take a look at the sales of each company. among them, byd once again took the lead, with sales exceeding 370,000 vehicles; ideal won the championship of new forces for two consecutive years, but failed to maintain 50,000 vehicles; wenjie also failed to maintain 40,000 vehicles. leapmotor exceeded 30,000 vehicles for the first time; weilai sold more than 20,000 vehicles for consecutive months; xiaomi sold more than 10,000 vehicles for consecutive months; and polar fox finally entered the 10,000-vehicle club. what are the reasons for these changes in the new energy vehicle market? what variables will appear in the rankings next?

byd still leads the pack

byd is still the first without any suspense. byd sold 373,083 new cars in august, of which 370,854 were passenger cars, a year-on-year increase of 35.3%.

according to byd's sales report, from january to august, byd's new energy vehicle sales were about 2.3284 million units, a year-on-year increase of 29.92%. in august, a total of 31,451 new energy passenger vehicles were sold overseas, of which 30,451 were exported; the total installed capacity of new energy vehicle power batteries and energy storage batteries was about 18.846gwh, and the cumulative installed capacity in 2024 was about 107.920gwh.

in addition to sales, byd also delivered an impressive interim financial report in august, especially achieving a significant increase in gross profit margin and net profit in its automotive-related businesses.

ideal failed to hold the 50,000 steps

the first place among new power brands is still ideal auto. in august, ideal auto delivered 48,122 new cars, a year-on-year increase of 37.8%. in july, ideal auto broke the historic 50,000-car mark, but unfortunately it did not continue this performance in august.

li xiang, chairman and ceo of ideal auto, said: "in the new energy vehicle market with a price tag of more than rmb 200,000, ideal auto's market share reached 18% in july, surpassing tesla to become the sales champion of new energy vehicle brands. in august, it continued its strong momentum and won the sales champion of china's emerging power brands."

in july, ideal auto's sales soared again due to the delivery of its latest model l6. however, as the l6's hot period on the market ended, it was not surprising that the sales volume in august did not stabilize at 50,000 units. the sales volume approaching 50,000 units also once again proved that ideal auto's strength is firmly in the first echelon of new forces.

sales volume surged year-on-year

seres announced its august sales, with new energy vehicle sales reaching 36,181 units, up 479.55% year-on-year; among them, the sales of the wenjie brand series reached 34,242 units, up 949.40% year-on-year, but still a certain gap from the performance in july. with the increasing number of models under the wenjie brand and the increase in the internal subdivision and configuration of the models, the wenjie brand will have more opportunities to achieve sales breakthroughs in the future.

in addition to the increase in performance, the cooperation between seres and huawei has also entered a new stage. on august 23, the two parties held a signing ceremony for a deepening strategic cooperation agreement and seres automotive investment in shenzhen. this also means that seres is no longer just a "oem enterprise", but has become an in-depth partner.

aion continues to maintain 35,000

in august, gac aion sold 35,355 vehicles, which is also the global sales data. aion also continued to maintain the top three level of pure electric sales in the country. the first is byd, and the second is not other new forces, but most likely tesla, which has not yet released accurate data. in july, gac aion's global sales were 35,238 vehicles, so there was not much change in august.

leapmotor hits new high again with over 30,000 units sold

in august, leapmotor delivered 30,305 vehicles, setting a new record and increasing by more than 113% year-on-year. among them, leapmotor suv family delivered more than 72%, which not only got rid of the previous route of "online car-hailing", but also delivered more than 8,000 vehicles of its new model leapmotor c16.

with the launch of a number of cost-effective suv models, leapmotor has become the new force with sales exceeding 30,000 for the third month, growing faster than many old new forces. this is related to leapmotor's adherence to the "cost-effective" route.

nio has exceeded 20,000 vehicles in a row

in august, nio delivered 20,176 new vehicles, exceeding 20,000 vehicles for four consecutive months; from january to august this year, nio delivered a total of 128,100 new vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 35.77%.

on august 28, nio's "banyan 3.0.0" smart system has been fully launched. next, nio's new brand ledao will also debut, and the first batch of stores will officially open. the debut of ledao is expected to bring nio's sales to a new level.

zeekr delivered 18,000 vehicles

in august, zeekr delivered 18,015 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 46% and a month-on-month increase of 15%. from january to august, a total of 121,540 vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 81%.

in august, zeekr launched several new models, which made many old car owners unhappy. but it was good news for zeekr's sales.

xiaopeng is still waiting for a breakthrough

in august, xpeng motors delivered a total of 14,036 new vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 3% and a month-on-month increase of 26%. in august, xpeng celebrated its 10th anniversary and laid out its future plans for ai.

more importantly, the launch of the more affordable smart pure electric hatchback coupe xiaopeng mona m03 broke the record for the highest order volume of all xiaopeng models. many industry insiders believe that it will no longer be a luxury for xiaopeng to exceed 20,000 units in monthly sales in the future.

nezha auto remains flat

nezha auto delivered 11,005 vehicles in august, which was basically the same as the 11,015 vehicles in the previous month. in august, nezha auto announced that its new nezha x large five-seater pure electric suv was officially launched. in order to continue the success of the flagship model nezha u, the new nezha x has increased the quantity and materials while the price has also been reduced by 10%.

at the same time, the hunting version of nezha s will also be launched. nezha automobile is still working hard to increase sales with more and more models. the delivery breakthrough of the cost-effective model nezha l did not come as expected.

xiaomi's performance remains the same

in august, the delivery volume of xiaomi su7 continued to exceed 10,000 units, and the delivery target of over 10,000 units has been achieved for three consecutive months. it is expected to complete the annual delivery target of 100,000 units ahead of schedule in november.

in the past two months, xiaomi motors has finally stopped dominating the hot search list with its parent company, as it did when it was first launched. although xiaomi has not released specific sales figures of over 10,000 units, the continuous delivery results are close to the production capacity figures it has previously released. it seems that xiaomi motors is still expanding production capacity while ensuring delivery.

polar fox sales exceeded 10,000

in august, the sales volume of polar fox automobile exceeded 10,000, and the sales volume from january to august was 35,861, a year-on-year increase of 198%. behind this achievement is polar fox's constantly improving product matrix and market positioning.

although arcfox has reached a new sales height, it still needs to work harder as the new energy market enters the second half.

a variety of new cars support lantu

in august, lantu auto delivered 6,156 new vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 54%. from january to august, a total of 42,547 vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 90%.

the monthly sales of lantu motors also achieved a "four-consecutive increase", and lantu will have more breakthrough opportunities in the future. the new lantu dreamer and lantu zhiyin started pre-sales at the end of august, and the orders for the two cars exceeded 24,000 in 4 days, which will surely continue to help the sales growth in september.

zhiji auto continues to move forward

in august, zhiji auto delivered 6,117 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 239%, exceeding 6,000 vehicles for three consecutive months. although such a result does not sound too exaggerated, the average price of zhiji models exceeds 200,000 yuan, and they are mainly pure electric, so it is not easy to sell them in large quantities.

at present, the new zhiji l6 was officially unveiled at the chengdu auto show and started pre-sale, and will be launched in september, which will also help zhiji auto continue to increase its sales.
