In the first half of the year, NIO and WM Motor failed to achieve a win, and challenging traditional car companies may become empty talk

According to statistics, there are more than 60 new car manufacturers. At this year's Beijing Auto Show, dozens of new car manufacturers attracted widespread attention with their high appearance and high-tech configurations. Previously, many new car manufacturers said they would subvert traditional car companies.

Halfway through 2018, traditional automakers' cumulative sales of new energy vehicles have reached 350,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 1.2 times.

On the other hand, among the new car-making forces, only Yundou, Diancha and Xiaopeng have sales. Although Weilai and Weimar have launched products, and there are rumors of delivery and orders, their sales are still zero.

Yuntu Automobile was established in 2015. Its first product, π1, was launched in October 2017, followed by π3 in March this year. Four months later, upgraded versions of π1 and π3 were launched to meet the new energy policy.

The appearance and interior of the upgraded versions of π1 and π3 are the same as those of the old models, but the range has been greatly improved. The range of π1 has been increased from 150km to 301km and 402km, and the range of π3 has been increased from 251km to 360km. It is understood that Yundu's third product will be launched in 2019.

Yundou sold 2,261 units of its two small SUVs, π1 and π3, in the first half of the year, ranking 19th in the new energy half-year rankings, making it a leader among new car-making forces. However, it is still far from the ambitious goal of annual sales of 35,000 units, accounting for only 6% of the total.

Dianchaqi currently only relies on one mini car, the EV10, and has sold 1,953 units in half a year, ranking second among new car manufacturers. However, its sales in June dropped sharply to 3 units due to the new energy policy.

Xiaopeng has achieved sales before it was launched. Xiaopeng IDENTY X achieved sales of 330 units in the first half of the year. This Xiaopeng IDENTY X is also known as the "1.0 version". Only 1,000 units were produced. It is a model used and tested by internal employees. The problems found in the test will be rectified and upgraded to version 2.0.

It is rumored that NIO delivered 10 vehicles in May and plans to deliver 550 vehicles in June. However, there is still no data available on the sales chart. Li Bin once said that NIO's target for 2018 is 30,000 units, but six months later, the sales chart is still zero.

NIO's orders have been less affected by the delay and are still growing. Vehicles will be delivered in several cities in August. At the same time, some customers with orders will be invited to on-site test drives to increase their confidence in the products.
