We begin today’s kaleidoscopic look at the China Ev market with a report from Caixin Global that China has replaced Japan as the #1 auto exporter. At least for now. As the Russian market stabilises we may see it swing back to Japan.
Chart of the Day: China tops Japan as world’s No. 1 auto exporter
China retained its momentum as the world’s No. 1 auto exporter during the first half of 2023, exporting 300,000 more cars than Japan in the period after overtaking its rival in the first quarter. The results were largely driven by gains from rising demand for new-energy vehicles (NEVs) and increased Russian deliveries.
China’s auto exports between January and June surged 77.1% from a year ago to about 2.34 million cars, according to data released by the General Administration of Customs.
