The performance of self-owned brands and new energy vehicles was outstanding. "The retail sales in February achieved a positive growth of 7.5% month-on-month, which is a reasonable trend in line with expectations under the influence of comprehensive factors such as the Spring Festival. From the weekly trend, the weekly sales volume in February did not significantly exceed the retail level of the corresponding week before the Spring Festival in January, but the total sales volume in February was stronger than that in January because there was no extremely low sales factor for the Spring Festival holiday." As for the recovery of the car market, Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the Passenger Transport Federation, was cautiously optimistic. He pointed out that due to the early Spring Festival this year and the overdraft caused by the policy switch, the accumulative retail sales of 2.679 million vehicles in January-February decreased by 19.8% year on year.

"Independent brands have gained significant growth in the new energy market and export market, and the transformation and upgrading of traditional automobile enterprises in the head has performed well, and the share of traditional automobile enterprises such as BYD, Chang'an Automobile, Geely Automobile and Chery Automobile has increased significantly," Cui Dongshu said. China's new energy vehicles are back on the rise.
