Published on July 12, 2010 by Tycho
From Reuters:
Vehicle sales of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd rose by an annual 42.1 percent in the first six months of this year, indicating that the Chinese carmaker was on track to achieve its full-year target. Geely Automobile, whose parent Zhejiang Geely Holding Group is buying Ford Motor’s Volvo car unit, sold 195,734 vehicles from January to June, it said in a statement late on Friday.
Privately-held Zhejiang Geely is the biggest carmaker in China, which overtook the United States as the world’s No.1 auto market last year. In March, Geely signed a deal to buy Sweden-based Volvo for $1.8 billion, marking the country’s biggest auto purchase overseas.

Volkswagen plans to Sell 3000 Phaetons in China this Year
Published on June 17, 2010 by Tycho
“We will be delivering over 3,000 Phaetons this year in China,” said Peter Thul, head of brand and product communications for Volkswagen based in Germany. Mr Thul made his remark at a test-drive event for the new Phaeton in Sanya on Hainan island in southern China.
Volkswagen sold 14oo Phaetons in China in 2009, making China the largest market for the luxury sedan. The brand new Phaeton, introduced at the Beijing Auto Show, has to make sure another 1600 make it to the Chinese market.
VW will likely hit the 3000-target. The Chinese economy is booming again, it never really slowed down, and customers will especially appreciate the long-wheelbased car. And this time I can check it personally, the TheTycho.com-towers are near VW’s China headquaters.
Phaetons for the Beijing market arrive there first before moving on to dealers around town, they come by boat from Germany via portcity Tianjin. Last time I looked there were 6 new cars on the parking lot, all in a not too flattering brownish color. Likely demonstrators for dealers, but had better been black.

“China’s auto sales top 2.9m units in first two months”
Published on March 11, 2010 by Tycho
China Daily reports that auto sales over Januari and Februari are up 84 percent compared to the same months in 2009. One reason for this incredible growth are govermen t incentives, mostly for cars with an engine capacity under 1.3 litre and even more for under 1.0. And the economy is growing as a whole so people who waited last year are in today. The annual spring festival did help a bit bit not as much as China Daily seems to think. The annual festival is, ya’kna’, annual. China Daily talks:
China’s auto sales maintained steady growth in the first two months of 2010, buoyed by the nation’s car purchase incentives and strong demand brought by the week-long Spring Festival holidays.
