中國(guó)6月份汽車銷量勁升48%

China's passenger car sales rose 48 per cent in June on the same month last year, according to data released yesterday. The rise consolidates a remarkable recovery that has catapulted China to the top position in the world vehicle market so far this year.

昨日公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，中國(guó)6月份乘用車銷售較去年同期增長(zhǎng)了48%。這種增長(zhǎng)鞏固了中國(guó)汽車市場(chǎng)的強(qiáng)勁復(fù)蘇，而在復(fù)蘇過程中，中國(guó)已成為今年迄今為止全球最大的汽車市場(chǎng)。

The strength of China's vehicle sales – total vehicles sales rose 18 per cent for the first half year to 6.1m from the same period last year – has surprised car market analysts, government officials and even the country's carmakers, many of whom are scrambling to produce enough vehicles to meet demand.

今年上半年，中國(guó)汽車總銷售量同比增長(zhǎng)18%，達(dá)到610萬輛，這一業(yè)績(jī)令汽車市場(chǎng)分析人士、政府官員、甚至是中國(guó)汽車制造商都驚訝不已，許多制造商都在抓緊生產(chǎn)足夠多的車輛，以滿足市場(chǎng)需求。

Some car dealerships have reported shortages of vehicles and western carmakers such as Volkswagen and General Motors have had to increase production sharply at their Chinese joint ventures to meet local demand.

一些汽車經(jīng)銷商已表示存在缺貨現(xiàn)象，大眾汽車(Volkswagen)和通用汽車(General Motors)等西方汽車制造商，不得不大幅增加在華合資企業(yè)的產(chǎn)量，以滿足當(dāng)?shù)匦枨蟆?/p>

Like other sectors of the Chinese economy, car industry growth this year was jump-started by the government‘s January announcement of tax breaks on small cars and subsidies for vehicle purchases in rural areas.

與中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)中的其它行業(yè)一樣，汽車行業(yè)今年的增長(zhǎng)也是由政府1月份的刺激措施啟動(dòng)的。當(dāng)時(shí)中國(guó)政府宣布，對(duì)小型車給予減稅，并對(duì)農(nóng)村地區(qū)購(gòu)買車輛提供補(bǔ)貼。

But car segments not targeted by tax breaks or subsidies also saw strong growth in sales, car industry analysts said.

但汽車行業(yè)分析師表示，并非減稅或補(bǔ)貼目標(biāo)的汽車銷量也出現(xiàn)了強(qiáng)勁增長(zhǎng)。

High levels of bank lending are also believed to have helped spur demand. China on Wednesday announced that new lending in the first half was Rmb7,400bn ($1,084bn), up 201 per cent year-on-year and equal to 150 per cent of full-year lending in 2008.

據(jù)信，較高的銀行貸款水平也起到了刺激市場(chǎng)需求的作用。中國(guó)周三公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，今年上半年新增貸款7.4萬億元人民幣（合1.084萬億美元），同比增長(zhǎng)201%，相當(dāng)于2008年全年貸款總額的150%。

Lending for car purchases had not risen – most Chinese buyers use cash for vehicle purchases – but higher levels of liquidity in general fed through to more corporate purchases of vehicles.

購(gòu)車貸款總量并未增加，因?yàn)槎鄶?shù)中國(guó)買家使用現(xiàn)金買車，但總體上更為充沛的流動(dòng)性，促成了更多企業(yè)購(gòu)車。

General consumer confidence was also a strong factor in sales growth, said Mike Dunne of JD Power, the motor consultancy, in Shanghai: “The government is putting out a strong message that the financial crisis is concentrated in the US but we in China are doing just fine. The world might be hurting but not us.”

總體的消費(fèi)者信心也是汽車銷售增長(zhǎng)的一個(gè)重要因素，汽車咨詢公司JD Power駐上海的邁克·鄧恩(Mike Dunne)表示，“政府正發(fā)出這樣一個(gè)強(qiáng)烈信號(hào)：金融危機(jī)主要發(fā)生在美國(guó)，而我們中國(guó)一切還好。世界可能會(huì)受到傷害，但我們不會(huì)。”

JD Power recently revised its 2009 forecast for Chinese passenger car sales to 7m, from 5.8m at the beginning of the year and said a further upward revision was possible.

JD Power最近調(diào)整了2009年中國(guó)乘用車銷量的預(yù)測(cè)，從今年年初預(yù)測(cè)的580萬輛，調(diào)高至700萬輛，并表示可能進(jìn)一步向上修正。
