China's rise has surpassed the century-old tradition of Europe and the United States.
As far as China is concerned, some professionals have said that we are a hundred years behind compared to Europe and the United States.
As long as you look at the situation of domestic cars in the gasoline car era, you will find that the entire Chinese market is basically occupied by German, Japanese, American and other manufacturers.
Especially for top-of-the-line cars and luxury cars, there is no room for national cars at all, and national cars seem to be only equipped with a few low-end products, counting on winning by relying on the best.
However, with the continuous development of the times, especially the arrival of the era of new energy vehicles, China, which has lagged behind Europe and the United States for a hundred years, will finally increase its support in 2022.
Let's start with a statistic to understand why I say this, which is the chart from the "National Passenger Car Market Analysis for December 2022" published by the Passenger Car Association.
As can be seen from this figure, from January to December, the domestic car sales crown was won by BYD, and FAW-Volkswagen, which has long occupied the domestic market sales crown, was squeezed to second place by BYD, and BYD officially ended the sales crown of China's car market for a long time by the joint venture brand"Usurpation"History.
At the same time, domestic cars occupy three of the top five spots, with BYD in first place, Changan Automobile in third place, and Geely Automobile in fifth place.
In fact, if you take a look at the situation of new energy vehicles, you will understand this more deeply.
At present, in the new energy vehicle industry, China has come to the forefront of the world, BYD, Li Weixiao, Huawei has won the world, Nezha, Leap, etc., along the way, the expressiveness of its products is obvious to all.
Europe, America, Japan and South Korea and other brands, in the new energy vehicles, has always been a slow step, slow step, completely uncompetitive, Volkswagen, Toyota, BBA and other old car companies to launch electric vehicles, will not be enough at all.
At the same time, China has been at the forefront of the world in the fields of electric batteries, automatic driving, engines, and electronic control. Thanks to the efforts of Chinese manufacturers, the entire chain of today's automotive industry, from design to manufacturing to sales, has quietly changed.
Automobile design, from the previous core mechanical quality to today's more electrified, more intelligent software, coupled with the change of automobile manufacturing and sales methods, it can be said that the traditional way is slowly being abandoned by the times.
Of course, I still have to say that the new energy vehicle industry seems to be the leader at present, but we can't be complacent, after all, the automotive industry is a long-distance race, and many examples in the past are laggards, so we still have to continue to work hard.
