Compared with 2065438+2009, the domestic automobile sales volume was 25.766 million, which did not decrease much. The growth of commercial vehicles and new energy vehicles was the main reason.

02. Xiaomi responded that there was no plan to build a car.
Recently, it was reported on the Internet that "Xiaomi will soon release' Young People's First Car'-Qingyue S 1, which will be produced jointly with BYD at a price of 84,999 yuan" and exposed several related pictures.
Immediately, BYD responded that the content was false news and did not cooperate with Xiaomi to produce this model. BYD also said that it has obtained relevant information in accordance with the law and will safeguard its corporate reputation through legal channels in the future. I hope that the majority of netizens will not make rumors, rumors, and rumors.
Subsequently, at noon on 12 and 15, Xu Zaizhong, deputy director of the general office of Xiaomi Group, responded to the incident of "Xiaomi building a car", saying: "As long as we master one principle, everything that Xiaomi wants to build a car is fake news." Xiaomi Brand Security Weibo forwarded Wang Hua, deputy general manager of Xiaomi Group's public relations department's refutation response: "Xiaomi has no plans to build a car. I hope you don't believe it. "
Automotive industry view:
Prior to this, Xiaomi has been repeatedly reported to have a car-making plan, but Xiaomi has always said that there is no car-making plan. Lei Jun has clearly responded before: "Xiaomi's core business is mobile phones, TVs and routers, and cars and real estate are not considered in the short term. And other fields. "
However, although there is no plan to build a car, Xiaomi's investment and cooperation in the automotive field have also kept pace. On April 20 19, the customized version of FAW Pentium T77 rice flour was officially launched. This car was launched after the strategic cooperation between Pentium and Xiaomi. In addition, Xiaomi mobile phone and watch also cooperate with Tucki, Weilai and other car companies to realize the functions of car unlocking and remote control through Xiaomi intelligent terminal.
In addition, Shunwei Capital under Lei Jun is an early investor of Weilai, and Xiaomi Group is also a strategic investor of Xpeng Motors.

And reached strategic cooperation with a number of car companies, which can be said to have sounded the horn of fully entering the automotive digital supply chain.
Compared with technology companies such as Xiaomi, Baidu's layout in the automotive industry is more comprehensive. On the other hand, judging from the current trend, although several technology companies such as Baidu, Ali, Huawei and Tencent have a complete set of intelligent solutions for the automobile industry, most car companies are reluctant to outsource all the core autonomous driving and digital basic platforms to technology companies, so it is more likely to expand the market scale by cooperating with car companies to build cars.
