Geely sales in Q1 didnt hit the sweet spot
And it only felt like yesterday when Geely said they were predicting a boom in 07. Still, theres a few more months left in ’07 to turn those flagging sales around:
May. 14, 2007 (China Knowledge) – Geely Group, China’s largest privately-owned carmaker, only fulfilled 28% of its annual sales goal in the first four months of 2007, company sources said on Saturday.
The Hong Kong-listed carmaker sold 67,201 motor vehicles from January to April, a year-on-year growth of 7%. But the company was dissatisfied as it fell well short of its annual goal of 240,000 units.
Company sources attributed the disappointing sales figures to the cut-throat price war on the domestic auto market.
However, the sources said, Geely planned to put a new model, dubbed Vision, on the market. This will help the company fulfill its annual sales goal in the remaining months of the year, the sources added.
Last year, Geely exported 15,000 cars to 40-odd countries.
