SHENZHEN, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) — China's leading new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer BYD reported a year-on-year rise of 203.6 percent in net profit for the first half of 2019 on booming NEV sales.
Its net profit reached 1.45 billion yuan (about 205 million U.S. dollars), compared to 479 million yuan in the same period last year, the Shenzhen-based company said in its interim statement filed to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
The figure hit the lower end of its earnings guidance issued in April.
During the January-June period, its revenue grew 14.8 percent year on year to 62.2 billion yuan. The revenue from the NEV sector surged 38.8 percent to 25.5 billion yuan.
Despite sluggish sales for gasoline-powered vehicles, the NEV market has experienced a boom in China.
In the six months, the automobile sales in China fell 12.4 percent year on year to 12.3 million units while the NEV sales soared 49.6 percent to 617,000 units, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

Stuttgart. Mercedes-Benz will continue its engagement in the small van segment persistently and has decided on the successor of its small van Citan as part of the Mercedes-Benz Vans product portfolio – including an electric version. The vehicle will again be established in cooperation with Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi.
“The new Citan will undergo a comprehensive new development and clearly be recognisable as a Mercedes-Benz at first glance. We will provide for a distinctive brand-adequate identity in the successor of our small van”, explains Marcus Breitschwerdt, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans.
Mercedes-Benz Vans has been offering the Citan since 2012. The small van with compact dimensions and a large load compartment is ideal for the wide range of challenges encountered in the city. Especially in the growing on-demand transit business the small van will be an even more interesting option for commercial customers. The main foundations for its success were laid by the combination of high functionality, versatility and economy, its comprehensive safety systems and high ride comfort.
With the Citan successor, Daimler AG and Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi will continue their strategic cooperation which started nine years ago.
