In October alone, the sales of domestic-brand passenger vehicles in China rose dramatically, with approximately 1.49 million units sold, marking a year-on-year leap of 25.1%.
Additionally, these sales represented 59.7% of the country’s total passenger vehicle sales in October, an increase of 6.6 percentage points compared to one year earlier.
