Electric Pickups And SUVs Continue To Power Up GM And Ford's EV Progress
This week, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) revealed it had its second-best quarter despite challenges as its U.S. EV sales improved both during the quarter and in June. General Motors (NYSE:GM) also posted its best quarterly sales figures in more than three years and it owes it to notable increases in pickup truck and EV sales. Moreover, its second quarter EV deliveries reached a record, while its full-size pickup truck deliveries were the highest since 2021.
福特汽車公司(NYSE:F)在面對挑戰時表現出色，本季度是其表現第二好的季度，其美國電動汽車銷量在本季度和6月份均有提高。而通用汽車(NYSE:GM)也發佈了超過3年來最好的季度銷售數據，主要得益於皮卡和電動汽車銷量的明顯增長。此外，通用汽車的第二季度電動汽車交付量達到了歷史新高，而其大型皮卡交付量也是自2021年以來最高的。

In the second quarter, GM delivered 696,086 vehicles, marking a 0.6% YoY increase and highest since the fourth quarter of 2020. GM reported record EV sales that grew 40% YoY to 21,930, boosted by a jump in deliveries of the Cadillac Lyriq. But, EVs still made only 3.2% of its total second-quarter sales. GM sold about 229,000 full-size pickup trucks which is a 6% YoY increase. For the first half of the year, GM's total sales contracted 0.4% YoY to almost 1.3 million vehicles. On a less bright note, the US Environmental Protection Agency revealed this week thatGM failed to comply with the Clean Air Act and will need to pay a penalty of $145.8 million penalty due to excess CO2 emissions over a six-year span. GM has not addmited to commiting any wrongdoing but stated the problem is the result of a change in testing procedures that the EPA put in place in 2016, showing its willingness to resolve the outstanding issues with the federal government.
在第二季度，通用汽車交付了696,086輛汽車，同比增長0.6%，是自2020年第四季度以來的最高水平。通用汽車報告說，由於凱迪拉克Lyriq的交付量增加，其電動汽車銷量創下了紀錄，同比增長40%；但電動汽車銷量仍只佔其第二季度總銷量的3.2%。通用汽車銷售了約229,000輛大型皮卡，同比增長6%。在上半年，通用汽車的總銷量同比下降0.4%，降至近130萬輛。不過更不那麼美好的消息是，美國環境保護局本週透露，通用汽車未能遵守《清潔空氣法》，將因在六年時間內超過二氧化碳排放標準而支付1.458億美元的罰款。通用汽車沒有承認有任何違法行爲，但表示問題是由於EPA在2016年實施的檢測程序變化導致的，這顯示了通用汽車解決與聯邦政府尚未解決的問題的意願。

During the second quarter, Ford reported a slight 0.8% YoY growth as it sold 536,050 vehicles. In June, Ford reported it sold 166,448 vehicles which means its sales contracted 6% YoY. But the bigger picture is that Ford grew its all-electric car sales. During last year's comparable quarter, EVs made 3.5% of its total volume, and their share has now growth to 4.4%. In June, it sold 6,972 EVs which represents a YoY increase of 18%. Also in June, Ford F-150 Lightning sales grew as much as 79% YoY to 2,552 units.
福特第二季度銷售了536,050輛車，同比略微增長0.8%。6月份，福特報告稱銷售了166,448輛車，這意味着其銷量同比下降了6%。但更重要的是，福特增加了全部電動汽車的銷售。去年同期，電動汽車佔其總銷量的3.5%，而現在它們的份額已經增長到4.4%。6月份，它賣出了6,972輛電動汽車，同比增長18%。同時，福特F-150 Lightning汽車在6月份的銷售也同比增長了79%，達到了2,552輛。
