Hey there, future drivers! Did you hear the buzz? In November, China’s car factories were super busy! They made 3.44 million carsβthat’s like having a car for every person in a big city! ππ
But wait, there’s more! They sold 3.32 million cars in just one month. That’s a lot of new wheels on the road! π£οΈ
From the start of the year up to November, over 27.9 million cars were made in China. Sales were even better, reaching 27.94 million cars. That’s a big number! π
Zooming Ahead with New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) β‘
Have you heard about NEVs? They are cars that run on electricity or other clean energy. In November, China made nearly 1.57 million NEVs, which is 45.8% more than last year! That’s like having almost half more cars than before. π
They sold 1.51 million NEVs too, which is 47.4% more than last year. NEVs made up 45.6% of all new cars sold in November. That’s almost half of all cars! How cool is that? ππ³
Trade in Old Cars for New Ones! π
China has a special program where people can trade in their old cars for new ones. If you trade in your old car for a new energy vehicle, you get 20,000 yuan (that’s about $2,781) as a bonus! If you choose a new fuel-powered car, you get 15,000 yuan. That’s a great deal! π°
By Monday, over 5 million cars were traded in this year. This helps the environment and gets people driving newer, cleaner cars. π
Mr. Chen Shihua from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said that the car market keeps getting better, thanks to programs like this. ππ¨
Isn’t it exciting to see so many new cars and how China is moving towards cleaner energy? Maybe one day you’ll drive an NEV too! π
