In the first six months this year, passenger vehicle retail sales in China are estimated to have totaled 8.75 million units, down 20.0 percent year on year.

According to the CPCA, NEV retail sales in China in June are estimated to have amounted to 1.037 million units, down 7.0 percent year on year, while increasing by 9.0 percent month on month. In June, the market share of NEVs reached 62.8 percent, exceeding 60 percent for the third consecutive month.
