In January 2013, sales of new cars in China grew one and a half times

The growth in sales of new cars in China in January 2013 amounted to more than 45% compared to January 2012. This was announced by the General Secretary of the Chinese Association of passenger vehicles Mr. Rao Yes.

Last month, sales of cars were set up a new record since 2010, RAO emphasized, in total in January 2013, 1 million 704 thousand 185 cars and minivans were sold in China, which is 9.2% more than in December 2012.

Such high results, according to the Secretary General of the Chinese Association, were achieved thanks to the designated growth of the country's national economy and an additional five working days compared to the last month. He added that "it would be reasonable to expect a drop in sales of new cars in February by at least 35% relative to January, since the number of working days will be much less due to the celebration of the new year on the lunar calendar."

Meanwhile, according to RAO Da, "the decline in the Chinese economy, which began in 2010, ended. The car's market is gaining high speed." Sales of the largest foreign car manufacturer in China, Generl Motors grew by 26%last month, to 300 thousand cars, and the implementation of the American Ford took off to a record 135%, up to 44 thousand vehicles. Even the Japanese auto industry, against the backdrop of the negative attitude of Chinese consumers to their products, sold 20% more Toyota, Honda and Nissanov.
