Inflection point has been Chongqing card bus market will be overwhelmed


On November 15, the reporter went to Chongqing, a “mountain city,” and began a three-day market visit. In 3 days, the reporter visited a number of trucks, bus manufacturers, dealers and users, and has a deeper understanding of the Chongqing commercial vehicle market.


The results of the visit are still no suspense, and Chongqing has not escaped the curse that the entire commercial vehicle market has fallen. The truck market and the passenger car market have experienced different degrees of decline.


However, it is gratifying that signs of the recovery of Chongqing's card and passenger car market have begun to appear. The slow rise in sales volume has also given a shot to the dealers who have been dejected for more than half a year, allowing them to have optimistic expectations for the market next year.


Truck: The trough will be overturned


Although the overall market showed a downward trend, compared with Inner Mongolia, Henan and other places, the Chongqing truck market performed slightly better this year.


"So far, our total sales volume has fallen by nearly 30% from the same period last year," said Gan Yuanliang, manager of Chongqing SAIC Motor Sales Co., Ltd. The 30% decline is also the general decline in Chongqing heavy truck market.


In response to the declining market, dealers have also taken various measures to survive the off-season. “The company has shrunk its subordinate network this year and optimized personnel and venues. Our office was previously full of people. Now there are only three or four people. About a third of the people are optimized, and sales personnel are temporarily assigned positions. Waiting for the market to improve. On the other hand, the company focused most of its efforts on direct sales, significantly reducing the secondary network. The third is to reduce the down payment, the payment method is more flexible." Gan Yuanliang told reporters.


Fortunately, after eight months of decline, the Chongqing truck market showed signs of recovery. "From September onwards, there will be a certain degree of warming. I have done this year's monthly sales curve, sales after September compared with the first nine months of sales increased." Gan Yuanliang said.


“I am optimistic about the truck market in Chongqing next year. Next year, the Chongqing-Guizhou-Suiyang Railway will start construction and the duration will last four years. As far as I know, high-speed rail projects will start next year, so I remain optimistic about next year. "Shannan Automobile dealer Simon Liu said in this way.


Passenger cars: Overall decline Local recovery


The truck market is the hardest hit in this year's decline in sales of the commercial vehicle market. In contrast, although the passenger car market has declined, the overall situation is better than the truck market.


“This year Chongqing’s bus market as a whole has shrunk, but the tourism market has performed well. The industry’s competent authorities have added a portion of their business qualification indicators, which has led to an increase in the sales of coaches. Both passenger and bus have experienced a certain degree of decline, but both In terms of brands, Yutong’s share is relatively large, with sales falling compared to last year; Suzhou Jinlong’s sales are around 90 million yuan, and Xiamen Golden Brigade’s sales are around 80 million yuan, both of which are higher than last year. Slight decline; Dajinlong's sales this year increased compared to last year.” Industry sources told reporters.


The person also mentioned: "From the perspective of market segments, Yutong has an advantage in the passenger transport market and occupies a relatively large market share. Daikin Dragon has a clear advantage in the field of coaches; the bus market is dominated by Hengtong buses. The school bus market in Chongqing is still in its infancy and the overall demand is small."


Natural Gas Vehicles: Unfinished


Through the visit, the reporter found that, although close to the gas source, the use of natural gas vehicles in Chongqing is not very large. Except for buses using CNG, Chongqing has very few natural gas vehicles.


“Chongqing's passenger vehicles also have a small number of natural gas vehicles. It is understood that the operation is not good. Buses are all CNG vehicles and rarely use LNG vehicles with better endurance.” The industry insiders told reporters.


Although natural gas trucks have been put into use in many areas of the country, the market for natural gas trucks in Chongqing is still very low.


“On the one hand, the construction of filling stations is not perfect; on the other hand, relevant policy subsidies have not yet been clearly in place. However, the sanitation and road vehicle lines are all within the network coverage of gas stations and are more suitable for the promotion and use of natural gas vehicles. With the gradual improvement of gas station network construction, some relatively fixed road freight companies will slowly introduce natural gas vehicles. Natural gas vehicles will be gradually promoted in Chongqing, "said Gan Yuanliang.
