The main business revenue profit margin was 8.19%, an increase of 0.36 percentage points year-on-year; the loss rate of enterprises was 14.48%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.79 percentage points. New energy vehicles are expected to become a new growth highlight, but the overall growth rate of automobile production and sales may moderate. With the continuous and rapid growth of residents' automobile ownership, the pressure on China's energy, transportation, and air quality is increasing, and the number of cities adopting purchase restriction policies is likely to further increase. Next year, automobile production and sales may moderate after this year's high growth. With the promotion and implementation of the development plan for the new energy vehicle industry and the continuous improvement of related public supporting facilities, the new energy vehicle industry is expected to accelerate its development.
