In March, the heavy truck market, how to describe?
Unusually cold spell in early spring? The crash? Dismal? Aihong?
How to describe are not over. Was informed of the latest network of the first commercial vehicle, heavy truck market in March total sales all kinds of vehicles of 66000, sharply down 32% than the same period last year 9.7 million, and the number is less than in the past six years (2009-2014) sales in March the average value (. Vehicles), market downturn miserable intense degree, perhaps only 2012 can compared with. Because of the 1 and 2 in the market is not ideal. Therefore, heavy truck market in the first quarter of 2015, sold only 13.37 million, down 34%.
Why is the season into the off-season?
Specifically, in March various companies have varying degrees of decline. Dongfeng heavy truck, and FAW this old strong sales of heavy truck, 1.5 million vehicles, 1.15 million cars and 1.2 million cars, fell by 26%, 21% and 21%; and automobile Futian respectively car sales 9000 and 8000, decline for 38% and 48%; always showed good JAC heavy truck was not spared, March sales of 3400 units, down 21%; SAIC Iveco Hongyan, Valin and North Ben heavy truck sales 925 vehicles, 1762 bus and 900 cars, decline reached 77%, 32% and 35%. Hongyan has become the largest enterprise sales year-on-year decline in March.
First commercial vehicle network analysis, as the traditional sales season in March, but suffered such a big setback, the main reason has five aspects:
One is the economic growth rate continues to decline, especially in the manufacturing industry as the representative of the real economy is still in a recession, predictably, a quarter GDP data is not good; two is the real estate industry is very low, around the project started to decrease, underemployment, is a fatal blow to the production nature of the heavy truck market; the three is the 2015 Spring Festival came late, so many projects where the start is late, the sales of March caused some impact; four is the January 1, 2015 country four emission regulations implemented nationwide, the heavy truck industry in the end of 2014 the number of country's three stock car ahead of the phenomenon on the card, it has great negative impact this new car sales in 2015; five is the four country after the upgrade, four new car is generally higher than in three car prices rose more than 2, some areas of the user acceptance is not high, coupled with the logistics market downturn, user cash phenomenon still exists.
At least 19% decline in heavy truck market in the first half of all calls
A quarter of the past, the domestic heavy truck market total car sales 13.37 million, than 20.29 million in the first quarter of last year fell by 34%, and each enterprise is also spared all decline. Wherein, Dongfeng to stable industry leader position, cumulative sales of 3.03 million vehicles, down 23%; heavy truck for second place, cumulative sales of 2.53 million, fell 25%; FAW cumulative car sales 1.97 million, down 40%. Fourth and fifth respectively, Futian Shaanqi heavy truck 18000 and total sales of 15900 vehicles, down 46% and 39%.Jac a quarter of the cumulative sales of heavy truck 0.90 million, down 18% is the mainstream businesses decreased amplitude minimum; Hongyan, Valin and North Pennines first quarter sales were 2127 vehicles, 4102 vehicles and 24.54 vehicles, the decline of 73%, 31% and 20%.
According to this trend, on the heavy truck market in the first half of the two digit decline is inevitable. Our simple to calculate, this year in April compared to the same period in accordance with the flat (which is already the most optimistic forecasts), 5 and 6 months, fell 10% to calculate, then in April of this year, sales of heavy truck market is 8.8 million units, sales in May for 6.65 million units, sales in June to 5.73 million vehicles, 2015 years 1-6 month accumulative total sales volume is expected to about 34.56 million vehicles, compared with the same period last year, down 19%.
As a result, the heavy truck market in the first half of the year, "down" is not the aspect, "decline in the number of" is of concern to everyone.
