May 28, 2026, on this day, SAIC Group officially became the first enterprise in the history of China's automobile industry to exceed 100 million cumulative production and sales. No speeches from leaders, no product presentations, and no data bombardment on slides. In their place was a "Global Relay Delivery" spanning the Eurasian continent, connecting more than ten brands and nineteen car models. Every delivery moment opened a chapter of someone's life. 100 million vehicles are a number, but more importantly, a mirror. It reflects the ups and downs of an enterprise's seventy-plus years and the microcosm of China's automobile industry knocking out the first "Phoenix" brand from alleyways to standing on the global stage in the Smart Electric Era.
A "Delivery Ceremony" Only SAIC Could Pull Off
If one word were used to define this delivery ceremony, it would be "unreproducible".
It did not take place in a closed convention center but unfolded synchronously in multiple cities worldwide. Beyond the main venue in Shanghai, Nanjing, Liuzhou, Taiyuan, London, Jakarta, Singapore... delivery scenes continued to light up. The countdown went from the 99,999,996th unit to the 100,000,013th unit. Every vehicle delivery opened a real user story.
This "decentralized" ceremony design is not a brand show but an open presentation of system capabilities. Mobilizing a full matrix of 15 brands, from commercial to passenger vehicles, from the 60,000 range to the 500,000 range, from independent to joint venture, from domestic to overseas, and completing delivery under the same time and theme, requires behind-the-scenes whole industry chain collaborative capability.
More critically, it transformed the cold industrial number "100 million vehicles" into personal memories with warmth. For example, a couple returning to their homeland brought MG memories from their stay in the UK back home; a post-85s village party secretary used a Wuling Rongguang Pure Electric to deliver meals to left-behind elderly people; philanthropist blogger Liu Jia cut hair for left-behind children in Guangxi mountains for five consecutive years, and Buick provided immediate aid; he was moved by the "Full-score cabin" of Zhijing E7.
This shift in narrative style is essentially a public test of a "user-centric enterprise". In the past, automotive industry milestone releases were often enterprise-centric—leader speeches, technology presentations, sales data. This time, SAIC handed the stage completely to users, even the 100 millionth user, who was Cao Xudong, CEO of Momenta, a core partner in its smart driving strategy. "Partner becomes owner" is both a coincidence and a metaphor: in the intelligent electric vehicle era, the boundaries between users and enterprises are blurring, and the depth of ecosystem relationships is becoming a new competitive barrier.
The Hidden Card Behind 100 Million Vehicles: System, Globalization, and "Joint Venture 2.0"
If the delivery ceremony is the "face", the "backbone" behind the 100 million vehicles is the whole value chain system built by SAIC over seventy-plus years.
Many people see the data of SAIC ranking first in Chinese automaker sales for the first four months of 2026: cumulative sales of 1.302 million vehicles, independent brands accounting for nearly 70%, new energy vehicle sales of 412,000, and overseas markets surging by 50.2% year-on-year. But more worthy of attention are the structural changes behind these numbers.
Independent brands are no longer the "runner-up" role but the absolute main force. Roewe, MG, IM, Shangjie, Wuling, Maxus... Passenger and commercial lines advance together, covering almost all imaginable scenarios from personal travel to logistics. Joint venture brands have not stayed in the old script of "trading market for technology". Buick Zhijing E7 is based on the "Xiaoyao" Super Fusion Architecture, delivering over 10,000 units within a month of launch; Audi E7X plans to become Audi's first L3 level landing vehicle globally.
As the 99,999,999th delivery vehicle model of SAIC Group, ID. ERA 9X is a sample worthy of separate analysis. This car is not only the flagship for SAIC Volkswagen to counterattack in new energy but also a highly persuasive footnote of the Joint Venture 2.0 era. 11,079 orders locked within 1 hour of launch, 2,326 retail units delivered in 5 days, directly entering the top three of 300,000+ RMB extended-range large high-end SUVs. One month after launch, cumulative deliveries broke 7,000 units. In the high-end extended-range market where joint venture brands have long been suppressed by new forces, this speed breaks the stereotype that "joint ventures can't do new energy well".
Among the first batch of ID. ERA 9X owners, 60% live in first and second-tier cities, over 80% are management elites, over 40% are bosses and company partners, 58% hold a bachelor's degree or above, and average annual family income is 430,000 RMB. Female percentage exceeds 20%, over 85% are married with children, and those aged 25-39 account for more than half. About 40% come from old Volkswagen owners, 20% from traditional luxury brand replacement users. More than half directly chose the high-spec Ultra version. The 6,999th owner is Yang Chen, the first Chinese player in the German Bundesliga. These data point to a clear conclusion: ID. ERA 9X did not trade the market with low prices but truly entered a user group with high education, high income, and complete judgment on products.
From extended-range systems to smart driving algorithms, from chassis tuning to cabin interaction, a large amount of core capabilities come from SAIC and its ecosystem partners' local innovation. This is the most essential change of "Joint Venture 2.0": it is no longer foreign parties giving technology and Chinese parties doing the market, but both sides jointly defining products on the same platform, or even led by Chinese teams on technology routes. Behind these products is SAIC's role transition from "local adaptation" to "technology definition". In the past, joint venture R&D centers were more about executing global headquarters' technology localization, whereas now, SAIC's technical capabilities have started to be output in reverse, participating in the definition of global products. This is what is truly worth paying attention to in "Joint Venture 2.0"—it is not a slogan, but a capability.
Globalization is another hidden card. SAIC is currently the representative with the earliest and largest scale of "going out" among Chinese automobile enterprises. Overseas cumulative sales have exceeded 7 million vehicles. MG has consecutively ranked first in Chinese brand sales in Europe for 11 years, European annual sales in 2025 exceeded 300,000 vehicles, becoming the first Chinese automobile brand to break one million cumulative sales in Europe and the UK. More importantly, SAIC is shifting from "product going overseas" to "value chain going overseas". It possesses over 100 parts production bases, over 3,000 dealer networks overseas, has built three R&D innovation centers including London, and four production manufacturing centers in Thailand, Indonesia, India, and Pakistan. Anji Logistics owns 42 roll-on/roll-off ships, with 8 international routes covering Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
The depth of this global layout means SAIC is no longer a purely Chinese local automobile enterprise but a true industrial player with global operation capabilities. When many Chinese brands are still discussing how to "go out", SAIC is already thinking about how to "go up".
Technology is Not Just an "Exhibit"
Another key support for 100 million vehicles is the technology landing capability.
SAIC's 100 millionth delivery model—IM LS9 Hyper, is a good observation sample. It is equipped with full steer-by-wire four-wheel steering, 520-line ultra-vision LiDAR, NVIDIA Thor chip, whole domain 800V high-voltage platform, Stellar Super Extended Range, and even jointly premiered the "Endogenous Security" technology with Purple Mountain Laboratories globally, expanding automotive security from the physical level to information and system security. These technical indicators would not be inferior on any international brand's high-end models.
But more worthy of attention is that these technologies do not only exist on IM's flagship models. The Roewe i6 in the 60,000 range comes standard with 8155 chip and Doubao Large Model; the Buick Zhijing E7 in the 150,000 range is the first to equip Doubao Deep Thinking Large Model; the Shangjie Z7 in the 200,000 range carries Huawei ADS 4.1+896-line LiDAR, with 12,000 large orders in 27 minutes of launch. This landing capability of "technological democratization" is the real gold content of SAIC technology breakthrough. It shows that SAIC's technology logic is not "stacking specs" but precise matching around user real scenarios. Whether it is the "Smart Brain" end-to-end smart driving large model, or the "Robust Body" Digital Chassis 2.0, or the "Powerful Heart" thermal efficiency 46.3% DMH hybrid system, they all have to answer the same question: What can users perceive?
SAIC's answer is: From understanding cars to understanding you. Understanding cars is the extreme pursuit of core technology, and understanding you is precisely landing every cutting-edge technology into user-perceivable and enjoyable travel experiences. This sentence sounds like a concept, but from the delivery list of 100 million vehicles, it has been broken down into countless specific product decisions.
From "Leading the Horse Pack" to "Thousands of Galloping Horses"
In 2014, SAIC pioneered a comprehensive transition to new energy. At that time, many in the industry were still watching and waiting. Twelve years later, SAIC gave its own answer with 100 million vehicles. These twelve years happen to be a complete zodiac cycle. From the then "Leading the Horse Pack"—pioneering transformation, pioneering investment, pioneering going overseas, to the current situation of independent, joint venture, commercial, passenger, domestic, overseas "Thousands of Galloping Horses", the road SAIC has walked is almost a microcosm of China's new energy vehicle industry.
Behind 100 million vehicles is nearly 150 billion RMB in R&D investment over the past decade, nearly 26,000 effective patents, and two National Science and Technology Progress Awards. But its more important value lies in answering an industry-level question: When scale expansion meets a ceiling, how should Chinese automobile brands proceed next? SAIC's answer is "Second Entrepreneurship". This word sounds a bit old-fashioned, but placed in today's context, it points to the transition from scale leadership to quality leadership. 100 million vehicles is not the end but a new starting line. Next, what needs to be competed for is not who sells more, but who can define standards in the global market, establish irreplaceable brand assets in users' hearts, and continue to invest in technology no-man's land and achieve a commercialization loop.
From workers using hammers to knock out the first Phoenix brand sedan in 1958 to the IM LS9 Hyper with endogenous security technology driving off the production line in 2026, SAIC completed the leap from zero to 100 million in nearly seventy years. And the true revelation of this leap may not lie in the number itself, but in the fact that it proves one thing: China's automobile industry has the ability to walk a road from following to parallel running, and then to leading in local areas.
The Next 100 Million Vehicles, SAIC's Journey Has Just Begun.
The Thai tire industry faced a structural shift in 2026: on one hand, global demand for electric vehicle tires drove steady growth in passenger car tire exports; on the other hand, truck and bus tires encountered high anti-dumping tariffs in key markets, causing a significant drop in export volumes.
The dual blow of electrification benefits and trade barriers is forcing the Thai tire industry to accelerate strategic adjustments.
EV Tire Demand Boosts Export Value
Latest data from the Thai Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO) shows that Thailand's passenger car tire exports reached $3.88 billion in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 2.1%.Growth momentum mainly comes from the rapid expansion of the global electric vehicle market.
EV-specific tires are typically sold at 1.2 to 1.5 times the price of traditional tires, significantly increasing the unit value of exports.
TPSO pointed out that Thailand is leveraging its status as a globally leading natural rubber production base and its well-developed automotive supply chain to actively advance towards becoming a regional electric vehicle tire production center.
US Market Faces Tariff Divergence
The United States is the largest export market for Thai tires, with exports to the US totaling approximately $2 billion in 2025.
However, the anti-dumping tax rates imposed by the US on tires of different specifications vary significantly: the tax rate for Thai small car tires is 3.16%, still competitive; while the rate for large car tires reaches as high as 30.36%, far exceeding the 15% tariff level for Japanese products.
This led to a 15% year-on-year decline in passenger car tires imported from Thailand in Q1 2026, while truck and bus tires plummeted by 24%.
Some Japanese tire brands have considered moving their large tire production lines back to Japan to avoid high tariffs.
Multiple Countries Initiate Dual Investigations, Commercial Vehicle Tires Become "Heavily Impacted"
The trade blockade facing the Thai tire industry extends far beyond the United States.
The Eurasian Economic Union launched an anti-dumping investigation against Thai truck and bus tires in November 2025, preliminarily determining the dumping margin at 24.17%.
Brazil also issued the final ruling of the second anti-dumping sunset review at the end of 2025, deciding to continue levying anti-dumping duties on Thai tires for five years at approximately $1.35 per kilogram.
It is worth noting that these sanction measures are highly concentrated on commercial vehicle tires with rim diameters of 17.5 to 24.5 inches, reflecting main importing countries' vigilance against the rapid expansion of the Thai truck tire market share.
Nine Measures to Address Challenges
Facing the escalation of trade barriers, Thailand's TPSO has proposed nine policy measures, including raising inspection standards for EV tires, promoting cooperation between tire factories and EV factories, utilizing free trade agreements to expand into emerging markets, etc.
Meanwhile, localized production capacity of Chinese tire companies represented by Zhongce Rubber, Linglong Tire, and Tongyong Shares is rapidly expanding in Thailand. Tongyong Shares' Thailand Phase II project, with an investment of 1.884 billion yuan, has become a typical case of localization.
These Chinese-funded enterprises, on one hand, help Thailand consolidate its position as a tire manufacturing center, while on the other hand, they face potential risks related to origin certification and EU anti-circumvention investigations.
In the future, whether the Thai tire industry can break through in the wave of electrification will depend on the outcome of localization innovation and the game of global trade rules.
BYD officially released the May 2026 production and sales flash report, with new energy vehicles from all brands reaching a monthly sales volume of 383,453 vehicles, a slight increase of 0.26% year-on-year, achieving year-on-year positive growth in monthly sales after ten months; among them, passenger car deliveries reached 376,990 units, surging 19.4% month-on-month, wiping out the pain of previous model iterations, presenting a new pattern where the domestic base is stable, overseas sales are soaring, and high-end brands are scaling up across the board. Amidst the market environment of intensified competition in the domestic new energy sector, Tesla FSD entering China, and an intense launch of independent new products, it has forged a unique structural growth path.
The Dynasty and Ocean main brands combined sold 330,215 vehicles in May, accounting for over 80% of the group's total sales, remaining the stabilizer for BYD's sales volume. The full series had 8 models exceeding 20,000 units in monthly sales, covering products from 50,000 entry-level commuter to 200,000 home SUV.
Inside the Dynasty Network, the Yuan family sold 56,691 units, and the Song family 51,370 units. Both crossed the 50,000 threshold, becoming two major sales pillars for the brand, catering to home commuter and urban-rural travel needs; the Qin family followed closely with a stable performance of 28,360 units. The Han and Tang series maintained a volume in the six-thousand range, deeply cultivating the mid-to-large home sedan and SUV niche markets; the brand new model Xia is in the market cultivation phase, delivering 1,810 units monthly, with potential for steady volume growth as channels expand.
The Ocean Network's growth momentum is even more rapid, with 5 models entering the 20,000 club across the series: Sealion 42,615 units, Seal 34,117 units, Seagull 39,919 units, Dolphin 22,260 units, and Song PLUS 27,755 units. Among them, Seagull remains the best-selling entry-level commuter model thanks to its affordable pricing of 60,000-80,000. Sealion, as a new volume model, stands firm at the 40,000 level upon launch, filling the mid-size SUV product gap in the Ocean Network and perfecting the Ocean product tier layout. From commuter small cars to compact SUVs, the two main brands rely on DM-i hybrid and pure electric dual-line technologies to牢牢锁住 the mainstream home market share within 150,000 domestically.
Fang Cheng Bao Year-on-Year Surges 139.7%, Brand Upward Positioning Takes EffectThe high-end matrix of Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and Yangwang sold a combined 46,489 vehicles in May, officially breaking away from the niche positioning to become a new pivot for BYD's brand premium and profit growth, breaking the industry curse of difficulty in high-end breakthrough for domestic brands.
The off-road brand Fang Cheng Bao sold 30,186 units monthly, surging 139.7% year-on-year, creating a new high in monthly sales since the brand launched. Its Titanium 7 model sold 18,280 units monthly, while Leopard 5 and Leopard 8 output remained stable, continuously squeezing the survival space for joint venture and imported models in the 250,000-400,000 hardcore off-road niche market.
Denza delivered 16,303 units in May, with the MPV benchmark D9 selling 6,721 units, and the Z9 series close to 6,000 units. MPV and mid-to-large sedan dual-line efforts helped them stand firm in the luxury new energy track; the million-level ultra-luxury brand Yangwang continued its steady climb, delivering 286 units that month, a year-on-year increase of 105.8%, completing market verification of the domestic brand ceiling product and forming a full price range product layout from 100,000+ home, 300,000-400,000 off-road, 500,000 luxury MPV to million-level flagship.
In May, BYD's overseas sales of passenger cars and pickup trucks reached 160,177 units, surging 80.7% year-on-year. Exports accounted for over 42% of the full series total sales, setting a new historical high for brand export and becoming the core driving force to stabilize May overall sales and achieve year-on-year positive growth.
Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America became the main incremental markets. Seagull, Song PLUS, and Yuan series continued to top new energy best-seller lists in multiple countries; the SHARK pickup truck exceeded 4,000 units in monthly exports for two consecutive months. Relying on the completion of localization production in Thailand, Brazil, Hungary, and Uzbekistan with four overseas vehicle factories, localized production continues to land, avoiding tariffs while rapidly penetrating terminal channels. Against the background of stock market competition in the domestic auto industry and normalized price wars, the rapidly expanding overseas market effectively counteracts sales volatility brought by domestic model iterations, officially upgrading from a supplementary market to BYD's core growth engine. As of now, BYD's global cumulative new energy vehicle sales have exceeded 16.5 million units, with the globalization map continuously broadening.
Intelligent Driving Empowers Product Iteration, H2 New Products Prepare to Surge VolumeMay marked a key node in BYD's intelligent driving landing, with the God's Eye intelligent driving system becoming a core bonus point for models: the number of vehicles with advanced intelligent driving across all brands exceeded 3.15 million, with daily road test data exceeding 200 million kilometers; that month, BYD implemented City Pilot and Smart Parking dual safety backup services, becoming the world's first auto manufacturer to achieve dual intelligent driving backups. Three days after policy implementation, the activation rate of models equipped with the God's Eye system in cities surged 50%. Intelligent driving experience upgrades directly drove in-store order conversion, solidifying product competitiveness for subsequent models to continue volume sales, and facing the intelligent driving market shock brought by FSD entering China.
From data details, BYD's cumulative sales from January to May 2026 were 1,405,039 units, down 20.32% year-on-year. The core reason is that the full series of main models were concentratedly iterated, and the capacity ramp-up of the 2nd Gen Fast Charge Blade Battery was restricted. The new Flash Charge Battery upgraded fast charging and low-temperature performance. Full series iteration models prioritized installing new batteries, but production line retrofitting dragged down capacity release. Order backlogs on popular models and delayed deliveries compressed the May delivery volume to a certain extent.
As the end of the second quarter approaches and the 2nd Gen Blade Battery capacity continues to release, coupled with new models such as Denza N8L, Fang Cheng Bao Titanium 7 Pure Electric Version, Sealion 05, and Xia L landing the market, the industry generally predicts that BYD's full brand sales in June are expected to exceed 400,000 vehicles. Relying on the four-dimension development logic of low-end volume locking share, high-end raising profit, overseas pushing volume, and intelligence improving product power, amidst the intensified new energy elimination round in the domestic market, BYD's full category layout advantage continues to amplify, securing its status as the domestic new energy leader, accelerating steadily towards global top auto manufacturers.
