China’s January vehicle production volume increases by 0.01% y/y, sales volume decreases by 3.2% y/y
On February 11, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) announced China’s vehicle production and sales results for January 2026.
According to CAAM, in January, the overall operation of the automotive industry was stable. The passenger vehicle (PV) market declined, while the commercial vehicle (CV) market maintained a positive trend. The New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market operated steadily, and vehicle exports continued to grow. The main factors leading to the market decline were: first, adjustments to the NEV purchase tax policy; second, the year-end transition of car purchase subsidy policies across many regions; and third, the pull-forward of some consumer demand in 2025.
In January, vehicle production and sales volumes totaled 2.45 million units and 2.346 million units, up 0.01% y/y and down 3.2% y/y, respectively. Domestic sales and exports accounted for 1.665 million units and 681,000 units, down 14.8% y/y and up 44.9% y/y, respectively.
For PVs, production and sales volumes in January totaled 2.062 million units and 1.988 million units, down 4.1% y/y and 6.8% y/y, respectively.
For CVs, production and sales volumes in January totaled 388,000 units and 359,000 units, up 29.9% y/y and 23.5% y/y, respectively.
For NEVs, production and sales volumes in January totaled 1.041 million units and 945,000 units, up 2.5% y/y and 0.1% y/y, respectively. Specifically, BEV (battery electric vehicle) production and sales volumes totaled 659,000 units and 597,000 units, up 3.8% y/y and 4.0% y/y, respectively; PHV (plug-in hybrid vehicle) production and sales volumes totaled 382,000 units and 348,000 units, with production up 0.5% y/y and sales down 5.9% y/y; and FCV (fuel cell vehicle) production and sales volumes totaled 51 units and 70 units, down 13.6% y/y and 47.0% y/y, respectively.
In January, vehicle exports totaled 681,000 units, up 44.9% y/y. Specifically, PV exports totaled 589,000 units, up 48.9% y/y; CV exports totaled 93,000 units, up 23.6% y/y; and NEV exports totaled 302,000 units, up 100% y/y.
