- China’s leading automaker FAW Group posted a skyrocketing year-on-year increase in the sales of its Hongqi-brand vehicles in the first half of the year (H1).
- The company’s Hongqi production workshop based in Northeast China’s Jilin province sold 33,242 vehicles in H1, up 255 percent year-on-year.
- The sales boom was attributed to the company’s launch of two models including a new Hongqi H5 and the brand’s first pure electric SUV E-H3, since the beginning of this year.
