GAC Aion, the electric vehicle (EV) subsidiary of Guangzhou-based GAC Group, is targeting sales of about 500,000 vehicles this year, implying an almost doubling of growth from last year.

GAC Aion plans to produce and sell 500,000 pure-play EVs this year and launch its overseas business efforts, GAC Group spokeswoman Yin Jie said at a June 27 press conference held by the Guangzhou municipal government.

GAC Aion will aim to exceed 1 million vehicles in annual production and sales by 2025, Yin said, adding that the company is now moving full steam ahead with its initial public offering (IPO) efforts.

For the full year 2022, GAC Aion sold 271,156 vehicles, according to data monitored by CnEVPost.

This year's sales target of 500,000 vehicles would represent an 84.4 percent increase.

GAC Aion sold a record 45,003 vehicles in May, its third consecutive month of more than 40,000, figures it released earlier this month show.

This represents a 113.73 percent increase over the 21,056 vehicles sold in the same month last year and a 9.73 percent increase over the 41,012 vehicles sold in April.

In a ranking released earlier this month by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), GAC Aion ranked second among the top 10 new energy vehicle (NEV) retail sales, behind BYD's 220,735 units.

From January to May, GAC Aion sold 166,323 vehicles, which was an increase of 118.44 percent from 76,142 units in the same period last year.

This makes GAC Aion the No. 3 player in retail sales in China from January to May, behind BYD with 923,343 units and Tesla with 219,893 units.

GAC Group aims to see NEVs contributing 25 percent of sales by 2025, with its own brands contributing 50 percent of those NEV sales, Yi said in the press conference.

In March, GAC Aion sold 40,016 vehicles, Leapmotor delivered 6,172 and Shenlan 8,568.

The first day of every month is the day when Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers intensively announce their deliveries for the previous month, and CnEVPost highlighted leading companies, including NIO, XPeng and Li Auto, in separate articles.

For the other lesser-known EV companies, we wanted to use this article to record their delivery performance in March.

Aion: 40,016 units

GAC's new energy vehicle (NEV) subsidiary, GAC Aion, saw a strong performance in March, with sales reaching 40,016 units, up 96.96 percent year-on-year and up 33.01 percent from February, according to data released today.

GAC Aion sold 80,308 vehicles in the first quarter, up 78.96 percent year-on-year.

On March 30, GAC Aion announced the magazine battery 2.0, which claims not to catch fire or explode even after a gunshot.

Leapmotor: 6,172 units

Leapmotor delivered 6,172 vehicles in March, down 38.64 percent from 10,059 in the same month last year but up 93 percent from 3,198 in February.

The Leapmotor C11 series SUV received more than 10,000 orders in March, according to the company.

Leapmotor officially launched the C11 extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) on March 1, after the model was previously only offered in an all-electric version.

Yesterday, Leapmotor announced the signing of a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Qualcomm for a strategic partnership to build smart cockpit products based on the latter's latest-generation Snapdragon SA8295P platform.

Shenlan: 8,568 units

Changan Automobile's NEV brand Shenlan delivered 8,568 vehicles in March, up 108.82 percent from 4,103 vehicles in February.

In the first quarter, Shenlan delivered 18,808 vehicles, a decrease of 22.85 percent from the fourth quarter of last year.

Shenlan currently offers only the SL03 sedan, which was unveiled on July 25, 2022 and began deliveries in September last year.

It officially debuted its first SUV, the Shenlan S7, a model similar to the Tesla Model Y crossover, on March 5. The Shenlan S7 is not yet available.

Smart: 5,911 units

Skyworth, a Chinese appliance manufacturer, released its first electric vehicle product in April 2021.

The company is one of those tracked by CnEVPost, but it has been putting deliveries and orders together in an incomprehensible way when it released delivery figures before this year.
