China Produced a Record 30 Million Autos in 2023 on Russian Exports​

(Bloomberg) -- China’s auto production climbed to a record in 2023, riding on surging exports of electric vehicles and shipments to Russia that filled a void created by the exit of Western manufacturers.
The nation’s carmakers churned out 30.16 million vehicles last year, and wholesale deliveries — which include shipments to dealers — rose to 30 million, according to China Association of Automobile Manufacturers data released Thursday. Both surpassed previous records set in 2017. Exports surged 58% to 4.91 million units.
“Price discounts have impacted the market and the recovery of auto consumption is ongoing,” said Chen Shihua, CAAM’s vice secretary general, in a briefing. “Toward the end of the year, the auto market performed better than expected and production and wholesale volumes broke records,” he said.

Russia was the top destination for Chinese auto exports in 2023, receiving more than 841,000 vehicles in the first 11 months of the year, more than twice the number sent to runner-up Mexico. Chinese carmakers have taken advantage of the withdrawal of companies like Volkswagen AG and Toyota Motor Corp. following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.

However, China’s export drive may face headwinds this year. The boost from Russia isn’t expected to recur as the local market stabilizes, the European Union has launched an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese EVs, and some countries like the US are mulling raising import tariffs, said Xu Haidong, CAAM’s deputy chief engineer.

SAIC Motor Corp. remained China’s biggest auto exporter, while Chery Automobile Co. claimed the No. 2 spot, boosted by its shipments to Russia. Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. and Chongqing Changan Automobile Co. followed in third and fourth places, according to CAAM.

The Fulwin A8 is no ordinary compact sedan. It measures 4,780 millimeters in length with a 2,790-millimeter wheelbase, a size that promises ample interior space. The highlight of the Fulwin A8, however, is its powertrain. It is equipped with the Kunpeng Super Hybrid C-DM system, a fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5T engine, and an electric motor. This combination enables the sedan to cover up to 127 kilometers on electric power alone and over 1,400 kilometers when utilizing both power sources. The car’s fuel efficiency is noteworthy, delivering a mileage of 4.2 liters per 100 kilometers. The 1.5T engine churns out a power of 115 kilowatts and 220 Newton meters of torque, while the electric motor boosts the performance by contributing 150 kW and 310 Nm of torque.

The Fulwin A8 is not just about power and efficiency; it is also about smart technology. It comes equipped with Qualcomm’s 8155 chip and Chery’s Lion 5.0 intelligent cockpit system. These advanced features offer Level 2 plus driving-assist functions and a fast-booting infotainment system that enhances the overall driving experience.

Impressive Performance in Pre-launch Event​

Prior to the official launch, Chery Automobile showcased the capabilities of the Fulwin A8 in a remarkable challenge event. The sedan covered a distance from Wuhu in Anhui province to Shenzhen in just 20 hours. This feat demonstrated a maximum range of 1,624 kilometers and a minimum fuel consumption of 3.48 liters per 100 kilometers, a testament to the car’s exceptional performance and efficiency.
With the introduction of the Fulwin A8, Chery Automobile strengthens its foothold in the hybrid vehicle market, offering consumers a car that perfectly blends power, efficiency, and advanced technology.
