China’s March vehicle production, sales volumes decrease by 3% y/y, 0.6% y/y, respectively
On April 10, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) announced China’s vehicle production and sales results for March 2026.
According to the CAAM, automakers accelerated production and operating activities after the 2026 Spring Festival holiday, adding to market vitality. China’s March vehicle production and sales volumes presented a notable month-over-month (m/m) rebound yet a slight year-over-year (y/y) decline, with overall performance recovering somewhat compared with the previous two months. Impacted by multiple factors, the domestic market, where production and sales volumes shrank by double digits y/y, was sluggish. Despite external uncertainties, the export market grew rapidly and maintained strong resilience. The competitiveness of Chinese brands continued to improve.
In March, vehicle production and sales volumes were 2.917 million units and 2.899 million units, down 3% y/y and 0.6% y/y, respectively. Domestic sales and exports accounted for 2.024 million units and 875,000 units, down 16% y/y and up 72.7% y/y, respectively.
Year-to-date (YTD) production and sales volumes were 7.039 million units and 7.048 million units, down 6.9% y/y and 5.6% y/y, respectively. Domestic sales and exports accounted for 4.823 million units and 2.226 million units, down 20.3% y/y and up 56.7% y/y, respectively.
In March, passenger vehicle (PV) production and sales volumes totaled 2.446 million units and 2.412 million units, down 5% y/y and 2.3% y/y, respectively; and commercial vehicle (CV) production and sales volumes totaled 471,000 units and 487,000 units, up 9.1% y/y and 8.9% y/y, respectively. Domestic PV and CV sales volumes accounted for 1.663 million units and 360,000 units, down 19.2% y/y and up 2.7% y/y, respectively.
YTD PV production and sales volumes totaled 5.909 million units and 5.934 million units, down 9.3% y/y and 7.6% y/y, respectively. YTD CV production and sales volumes totaled 1.13 million units and 1.114 million units, up 7.9% y/y and 6% y/y, respectively. Domestic PV and CV sales volumes accounted for 4.013 million units and 810,000 units, down 23.4% y/y and up 0.03% y/y, respectively.
In March, New Energy Vehicle (NEV) production and sales volumes totaled 1.231 million units and 1.252 million units, down 3.6% y/y and up 1.2% y/y, respectively. Specifically, domestic sales were 882,000 units, down 18.3% y/y and accounting for 43.6% of the domestic vehicle sales. By model, BEV (battery electric vehicle) production and sales volumes totaled 818,000 units and 831,000 units, down 2.3% y/y and up 3.2% y/y, respectively; PHV (plug-in hybrid vehicle) production and sales volumes totaled 413,000 units and 421,000 units, down 5.9% y/y and 2.3% y/y, respectively; and FCV (fuel cell vehicle) production and sales volumes both totaled 100 units, down 62.7% y/y and up 65.3% y/y, respectively.
YTD NEV production and sales volumes totaled 2.965 million units and 2.96 million units, down 6.8% y/y and 3.7% y/y, respectively. Specifically, domestic sales were 2.006 million units, down 23.8% y/y and accounting for 41.6% of the domestic vehicle sales. By model, BEV production and sales volumes totaled 1.935 million units and 1.913 million units, down 4.4% y/y and 0.8% y/y, respectively; PHV production and sales volumes totaled 1.029 million units and 1.047 million units, down 11.1% y/y and 8.6% y/y, respectively; and FCV production and sales volumes totaled 300 units and 500 units, down 53.9% y/y and 19.7% y/y, respectively.

China’s February vehicle production, sales volumes decrease by 20.5% y/y, 15.2% y/y, respectively
On March 11, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) announced China’s vehicle production and sales results for February 2026.
According to the CAAM, as the 2026 Spring Festival holiday fell on mid-to-late February and lasted longer than previous years, effective working days in February amounted to only 16 days, which had certain impact on automakers’ production and operating activities and led overall market heat to decline. Judging from the automotive industry’s operation situation during January and February, production and sales were impacted by multiple factors, both dropping year-over-year (y/y). The passenger vehicle (PV) and New Energy Vehicle (NEV) markets weakened, the commercial vehicle (CV) market strengthened further, and exports grew rapidly.
In February, vehicle production and sales volumes were 1.672 million units and 1.805 million units, down 20.5% y/y and 15.2% y/y, respectively. Domestic sales and exports accounted for 1.133 million units and 672,000 units, down 32.9% y/y and up 52.4% y/y, respectively.

Domestic PV and CV sales volumes accounted for 950,000 units and 183,000 units, down 34.2% y/y and 24.7% y/y, respectively.
YTD PV production and sales volumes totaled 3.462 million units and 3.524 million units, down 12.0% y/y and 10.7% y/y, respectively. YTD CV production and sales volumes totaled 660,000 units and 627,000 units, up 7.0% y/y and 3.9% y/y, respectively. Domestic PV and CV sales volumes accounted for 2.35 million units and 449,000 units, down 26.2% y/y and 2.0% y/y, respectively.
In February, NEV production and sales volumes totaled 694,000 units and 765,000 units, down 21.8% y/y and 14.2% y/y, respectively.

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.
