Best Selling Companies in 2009


Earlier this week the car sales statistics for 2009 finally came out, CCT has yet to analyse them in great detail, but it looks like the usual suspects are at the top of the list, however there are some interesting participants further down the list:

Company / Cars sold
1 SAIC 2,425,546
2 FAW 1,758,801
3 Chang’an 1,703,081
4 Dongfeng 1,688,685
5 BAW 1,132,330
6 Guangzhou 542,839
7 Chery 436,336
8 BYD 388,247
9 Brilliance 316,924
10 JAC 296,711

The top six companies all have JV’s with succesfull international companies, some of them have multiple JV’s hence they have sales over two, three, or even four brands. Chery seems to be heading up the sales of the independent companies with BYD not so far behind. More statistics later.

    Shouldn’t it be Factory sales and not company the way the names are listed there? Some are one car company and some are many. What all is included in the SAIC sales?
