In the first half of this year, the number of cars in Wuhan was 193,400, with an average of 32,200 vehicles per month, an increase of 24.6% over the same period last year. This is the information that the reporter obtained from the Wuhan Automobile Circulation Association yesterday.

Wang Bin, executive vice president and secretary general of Wuhan Automobile Distribution Association, predicts that according to the current growth momentum, the total number of cars on Wuhan this year should be close to 400,000. Wuhan's automobile sales will usher in the highest point of historical sales, car ownership. It will approach 2.3 million vehicles for the “redemption of red linesâ€.
Approaching the redemption limit is not necessarily limited to purchase In 2012, Wuhan released the Blue Book of Traffic, setting 2.3 million vehicles as the "red line" for car purchase restrictions.
By the end of June, the number of cars in Wuhan had reached 2.58 million, of which 1.8 million were for passenger cars. According to Wang Bin’s forecast, by the end of this year, the number of new cars on the market in Wuhan will reach 400,000, and the total quantity will be close to 2.3 million “redemption linesâ€.
Approaching the redemption limit, will the Wuhan City start to buy? In an exclusive interview with the media, Li Linqing, deputy director of the Municipal Automotive Industry Development Office, believes that purchase restriction is the most extreme way to control traffic congestion. Before using this method, there are still many means available, such as "intelligent traffic" and "partial vehicles in the third ring." Limit the line, "buy the car with the parking space" and so on. He said that the current traffic congestion in Wuhan is related to the low road utilization rate caused by the construction of the city. After the completion of the project, the traffic conditions in Wuhan will be alleviated.
At the same time, the automobile industry has become the leader of Wuhan's manufacturing industry. The target of Wuhan's automobile production this year is 1.5 million. In the context of the downturn in the national auto market, the cars manufactured in Wuhan need the support of the local market. If you buy too fast, it will affect the investment enthusiasm of the auto giant.
The auto market has gone against the trend, but the dealers have complained. Since the beginning of this year, the auto market has been down, showing a trend of lower bids, and the auto market has entered a period of micro-growth. Statistics released by the Provincial Bureau of Statistics show that in the first half of this year, the province's automobile production and automobile consumption growth both declined. According to statistics from the China Federation of International Trade Unions, in the first half of this year, national automobile production and sales increased by 2.64% and 1.43% respectively, an increase of 6.96 and 6.93 percentage points over the same period of last year. Compared with the national and provincial automobile sales, the automobile sales situation in the first half of Wuhan can be said to be “anti-market high songâ€. The sales growth of automobile sales in January-June has reached a staggering 24.6%!
Wang Bin analyzed that the Wuhan auto market went against the trend for two reasons: the rumors of auto purchase restrictions spurred some citizens to accelerate the purchase of cars; the auto price war made some people tempted to start a new car. According to the trend of the first half of the year, the sales of automobiles in Wuhan this year can reach 430,000 to 450,000, which is the highest in historical sales. "The days of dealers should not be difficult."
However, at the symposium on the analysis of the automobile market in the second half of the month of July 24th, the dealers participating in the conference called the bitterness. A dealer representative said that this year's car price war is fierce, many luxury brands are sold at a discount of 20% or even 25%, and the profit is much lower than before. In June, the stock market fell sharply, and many potential car buyers' intentions to buy cars were greatly reduced, which may affect car sales in the second half of the year.
