Securities Times ·  Jul 2 09:21

On July 1, several new energy auto companies released their sales and delivery data for the first half of 2024, revealing the hot temperature of the new energy auto market even further. Some new energy force auto companies have been eliminated from the market one after another and forced to reorganize; a large number of joint venture auto companies have suffered a cliff-like decline in sales, with overcapacity.

Behind the highly white-hot competition in the auto market, there is a significant replacement of fuel vehicles by new energy vehicles.$BYD COMPANY (01211.HK)$Leading domestic new energy auto companies generally saw an increase in sales in the first half of this year. Data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers showed that in some months of the first half of this year, the market penetration rate of new energy vehicles has exceeded 50%, and fuel vehicles have gradually become a minority in the new car market.

BYD remains the leading company.

According to the latest announcement from BYD, the company sold 341,700 new energy autos in June, including 145,200 pure electric vehicles and 195,000 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

In the first half of 2024, BYD's cumulative sales reached 1.613 million, a year-on-year increase of 28.46%. Among them, pure electric vehicles sales reached 726,200, a year-on-year increase of 17.73%; sales of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles were 881,000, a year-on-year increase of 39.54%.

In terms of sales scale and growth rate, BYD's plug-in hybrid vehicles have officially surpassed pure electric vehicles. Several brokerages pointed out in research reports that the sustained hot sales of BYD's plug-in hybrid models have laid a solid foundation for the overall increase in its sales scale. The reason for the continued market recognition of BYD's plug-in hybrid models is also due to their iteration in technology.

In May of this year, BYD released its latest fifth-generation DM-i dual-mode hybrid system, continuing to refresh and reduce auto fuel consumption.

Pacific Securities analysis shows that BYD's new generation DM technology engine has a thermal efficiency of 46.06%. By comparison, Japanese brands such as Toyota and Honda, which emphasize fuel economy, have a dedicated engine thermal efficiency of about 41% in their hybrid systems. This means that BYD's share in the hybrid market is expected to continue to increase.

Recently, from the market feedback, after the launch of BYD Qin L DM-i, the Sealion 06 DM-i and other multi plug-in hybrid models, Japanese car "leaders" such as Corolla, Camry, Accord, Atlas, and Sentra have all started to reduce prices.

New force companies experience a general increase in deliveries.

Apart from BYD, several new auto companies have delivered and sold well in the first half of the year.

Compared to the standard annual rate of 2.5%, customers can save more than 20,000 yuan in interest. The activities end on July 31st.$Chongqing Sokon Industry Group Stock (601127.SH)$Data shows that in June 2024, Chongqing Sokon Industry Group Stock sold 44,126 new energy autos; of which Sokon autos sold 41,457, a year-on-year increase of 631.42%.

Traditional auto retailers face increased inventory pressure.

The new energy auto market has been growing rapidly, while the market share of gasoline-fueled cars is further diluted, which also exacerbates the pressure on auto dealers who are mainly engaged in gasoline-fueled car sales.

On June 30th, the latest "China Auto Dealer Inventory Warning Index Survey" released by the China Automobile Dealers Association showed that the inventory warning index of China auto dealers in June 2024 was 62.3%, an increase of 8.3 percentage points YoY and 4.1 percentage points MoM. The inventory warning index is above the boom-bust line, and the auto industry is in a period of recession.

The China Automobile Dealers Association pointed out that as the midway benchmark of the annual task assessment approaches, the inventory level of dealers has increased. In order to impact the half-year target, dealers have adopted the strategy of "quantity for price", resulting in serious price cuts for new cars and low profits for bare car sales.

Therefore, the experts of this association suggest that dealers should estimate the actual market demand rationally according to the actual situation. At the same time, they should increase the promotion of the "scrappage and new vehicle replacement policy", strengthen services to boost consumer confidence, and put cost reduction and efficiency improvement first to prevent business risks.
