The RV market only took the third quarter to tie the whole year of 2022, and the new products shined in 2023, a sharp increase of 2 3 year-on-year
According to the statistics of the authoritative agency China Automotive Data in November, as the absolute backbone of the business travel industry, the sales of self-propelled RVs (excluding sojourn hanging) in the first three quarters of 2023 will be 11,062, a year-on-year increase of 280%, which is close to the full year of 2022 sales in just nine months. Among them: the high sales volume and fast growth rate from March to June are mainly due to the fact that tourism or leasing companies prepare cars in advance, and the heat of the consumption season from July to September has not decreased, which has jointly contributed to the overall prosperity of the RV market in 2023. From the perspective of competition pattern, the share of the top 10 enterprises is 470%, down 07%, always in a state of rapid change. At present, the main players in the market are still relatively limited, mainly dominated by the head M-class bus companies (such as Yutong, SAIC Maxus, Jiangling, etc.), while emerging (modification) companies continue to emerge, such as Hubei Wiltefing, Hubei Heli, etc. At the same time, China Automotive Data makes a judgment on the development trend of the RV industry in the next few years: intelligent, luxury and environmentally friendly products will rise rapidly, more energy-saving, low-emission and renewable recycling energy utilization may become the keyword, and leasing and second-hand housing vehicles are expected to expand, which will further enrich the consumption pattern.
In 2023, a total of 896 new products will be declared in the business travel category (excluding duplicate declared models), with an average of 747, a year-on-year increase of 669%。Due to the official implementation of the national VIB emission standard nationwide on July 1 last year, there was a short-term explosion of commercial models dominated by passenger cars in June. The remaining 11 months are relatively balanced, showing a trend of "first suppressing and then rising", except for Q1 during the Spring Festival holiday, Q2 to Q4 have more than 90 new products in a single month. Overall, the business travel market will be thriving in 2023, with continuous efforts in the research and development of new products, and the rapid recovery of the whole industry in the post-epidemic period, laying a solid foundation for continuing to grow bigger and stronger. Specifically, see:
There are a total of 560 models in the sojourn category, an increase of more than 40% compared with 392 models in 2022, once again hitting a record high. In a single month, the max-min was 66 in April and 22 in March, with a monthly average of 467 models, it is the absolute leader of new business travel products. Among them: a total of 519 motorhomes, a year-on-year increase of more than 60%. Sojourn has become the only negative growth player in the whole spectrum, with a total of 41 models throughout the year, a decrease of more than 40%, mainly affected by the switch of the central axis - it can be seen that the volume of sojourn hanging brought by the C6 quasi-drive still needs time.
There were a total of 147 business models, a year-on-year increase of more than 90%, and the sudden increase in the middle of the year also became the main driving factor. There were a total of 189 camping models, a year-on-year increase of more than 1740%, especially since Q2, the small camping has soared all the way and become a new star model. Considering that its technical threshold is easy to pass, the product specifications and shape are flexible and changeable, the interest is strong, the plasticity is high, it is more friendly to the majority of individual consumers, and it has the potential to become a family leisure and camping vehicle.

The smash hit cab category (chassis car, heavy cargo transportation) has only 84 models, accounting for 94% is less than 10% of the share, given that it is only suitable for C-type forehead RV modification, and there are relatively few options, it is reasonable that the limelight is slightly weaker. In addition to business travel, the cab cabin chassis can also be used for special transportation and sales of medical vehicles and other modifications, which is a very practical basic variant car.

The B-type VAN class dominates the RV industry, and the six C-type categories go hand in hand, and JMC Light Bus CAB and Foton Truck focus on the chassis business
The following focuses on the new products of Sojourn. Referring to the international practice of ABCD type 4 RV standards, combined with light buses, trucks, trailers and other infrastructure types, the 560 new products in 2023 are classified
There are a total of 16 A-type RVs, accounting for 2Although 9% are at the bottom of the seat, all of them are more than 8 meters long, highlighting the characteristics of "large space". Among them, there are a total of 11 heavy-duty trucks, including domestic SINOTRUK SITRAK, Shaanxi Automobile Delong, joint venture Qingling GIGA, and parallel imports of Benz Arocs and Volvo FM. A total of four large and medium-sized passenger cars are in second place, including Ankai A9 series "big three-axle" and Jinlong Longwei second-generation "small three-axle", Dongfeng Special Automobile and Hubei Saijia cooperation of large school bus special three-axle bus.
There are a total of 175 Type B RVs, accounting for 313%, the length is not more than 6 meters, almost all of them are new light passenger van products. The remaining only six large and medium-sized passenger cars (including special), three MPVs and a one-piece pickup deformation car, specifically: the use of the bus body + three types of chassis "small A-type" should actually be regarded as B-type, such as the above Dali-Hemu AX6-Nanqi three bottoms, Qingdao Chuntian-Peony Zhongba-JAC three bottoms; The number of MPV RVs has plummeted, with only three models in Changshu East China and Zhejiang Xingchi throughout the year; The pickup truck is a one-piece 5-ton RV modified by Chengli Special Automobile using Dongfeng Mengshi, which is a special variant.
As an absolute mainstream model, Type C RV also focuses on C-ticket blue plate models, with a total of 328 models, accounting for 586% is almost sixty percent, which can be subdivided into six categories of basic vehicles: light passenger car cab class leads with 84 models, light truck category ranks second with 68 models, including 32 3-ton small trucks, 29 4-ton blue light trucks and 7 6-ton large light trucks (**w 6 tons); There are 60 "small C-type" heavy trucks, and compared with the "big A-type", it can be seen that most of the heavy truck chassis vehicles in the industry are gathered here; The number of 45 models of medium trucks and 43 models of single-row pickup trucks is similar, the former is actually an extension of large and light trucks, and the latter is obviously more suitable for RV modification; The two-row pickup category has the smallest number of 28 models, but it is also a significant increase from only six in 2022. It can be seen that the C-type RV has the most abundant solutions, and the truck category has also surpassed the light passenger chassis vehicle, occupying the commanding heights of the industry's new products in one fell swoop.
D-type RV is trailer-type, corresponding to the 9-word O class sojourn trailer, in the third quarter of 2023, affected by the "central axis" switch, the number of the whole year is slightly lower, 26 single-axle models are more than 15 double-axle models, **W are below 3 tons, mainly catering to the trailer demand of C6 tickets. This year, there is no new product declaration for three-axis heavy-duty sojourn hanging, which shows that the + market demand for miniaturization is more concentrated.
In terms of mainstream base cars, the author chooses the number of TOP3 market segments, among which: the most light passenger van category is the JMC New Transit V362 MCA, with a total of 55 models, accounting for 1 3 of the same kind, which is a passenger style of the central axle version; The largest number of light passenger cars in the cab category is Nanqi Wolfon, with a total of 47 models, accounting for 56 of the same kind0%, covering 4-6 tons; The largest number of small C-type cabin heavy trucks is SINOTRUK SITRAK, with a total of 32 models and 53 of the same kind3%, which is also the most accepted heavy-duty truck chassis in the market.
Although 2023 is not friendly to new light passenger car cab products, the situation of Nanqi Ousheng dominating the list has continued, but the proportion of its new product matching rate in the industry has dropped to 560%, in view of the popularity of mature and standardized various forehead cabins, car companies are also facing the bug of serious homogenization of chassis vehicles. In this context, JMC has sprung up, with a total of 21 supporting models throughout the year, accounting for 1 4, and four lineages (Transit T8 New Transit New Generation Fushun) can meet the preferences of all kinds of users and provide new choices for car companies. Facts have proved that the increasingly large market is still willing to try the so-called "different flavors". Here are just two examples:

With the switch of the new generation V348 and JMC Fushun, the five industry supporting facilities throughout the year are also gradually interesting, which can provide more mature technology and better economic chassis solutions for RVs.
In February, the dynamic incentive plan is different from Jiangling's main promotion of light passenger cab chassis cars, Beiqi Foton has developed more N class truck chassis in the RV circle, and its Xiangling series has become the first supporting chassis car in the industry for 3-ton small truck RVs, and from 4 tons of blue light trucks to 6-7 tons of large light trucks, from Aoling to Omar series have begun to intervene, and it is also a focus strategy that fully combines its own product advantages.
