In the domestic ** report, Toyota's sales ** often become a hot spot, but in 2023, Toyota has achieved growth, and even in the Chinese market, where the sales of new energy vehicles have soared, Toyota's decline is far less pessimistic than ** advertised, showing that the strong are not in vain.
In 2023, Toyota's sales will reach 11.23 million units, a year-on-year increase of 7%; Volkswagen, by contrast, sold less than 10 million vehicles, which means that Toyota has further strengthened its position as the world's largest car brother.
Toyota's growth in markets outside of China underscores that Toyota is still in a strong position, not declining because of the rise of electric vehicles, but rather relying on gasoline vehicle technology to remain at the forefront of the automotive industry.
Even in the Chinese market, where the electric vehicle industry is the fastest-growing, Toyota's sales decline is far less exaggerated than reported by **, with data showing that Toyota's sales in the Chinese market will only decline by 2% in 2023, highlighting that Toyota is still holding its ground in the Chinese market, where the penetration rate of electric vehicles has reached 30%.
In contrast, after several years of surging sales of electric vehicles, China's electric vehicle market has further exposed its weaknesses in the cold winter of 2023, with six or even five percent off battery life in winter, and when the snowstorm causes traffic jams, electric car owners dare not turn on air conditioning, etc., all of which have led to a sudden large increase in fuel vehicle sales in December**, and Toyota's sales in the Chinese auto market in December have also suddenly increased significantly**.
When it comes to energy-saving cars, it is actually Toyota that has turned on energy-saving technology, but instead of electric vehicles, Toyota chose fuel technology, and developed the Prius in the 1990s by combining small-capacity batteries with gasoline engine technology.
According to the report of the United States**, the Prius has become the longest life and the most likely model in the energy-saving car, and there are still some Prius with an age of 20 years and 480,000 kilometers in the used car market in the United States, and American consumers believe that the fuel cost of this car is as low as 4 liters, even if it is used for 20 years, it is still very reliable, and you can go with fuel.
Electric vehicles are started by Tesla, but before Tesla entered the Chinese market in 2019, its sales have actually slowed down, and it is the factory in Shanghai, China and the Chinese market that finally drove Tesla to break through one million units, Tesla's Shanghai factory will reduce the manufacturing cost of Tesla cars by 60%, and the sales of electric vehicles in the Chinese market account for 60% of the world's total, all of which provide opportunities for Tesla's leap.
In 2023, electric vehicle sales will account for less than 10% of total car sales outside of China, and fuel vehicles will still dominate the market, and with more electric vehicles on the road, Nordic countries are now discovering the disadvantages of electric buses in the cold winter weather, which has also made Nordic countries that have actively promoted electric vehicles reconsider the development of electric vehicles.
The impact of these factors has made Toyota, the fuel car giant, in the domestic first major event to promote electric vehicles but has achieved good results, Toyota with its own achievements to prove its tenacity and vitality, perhaps it said that electric vehicles will not replace fuel vehicles is not its helpless statement in this automobile era, but the fundamentals of the automobile market will still be in fuel vehicles.
