Core Insights - The conference focused on promoting high-quality development in China's automotive industry, emphasizing the challenges faced by automotive dealers and the need for supportive policies [1][3]. Industry Overview - In the first five months of the year, China's automotive production and sales exceeded 12 million units, with a year-on-year growth of over 10%. New energy vehicles (NEVs) were a significant growth driver, with production and sales reaching 5.699 million and 5.608 million units, respectively, marking increases of 45.2% and 44% [3]. - Automotive exports also showed positive trends, with a total of 2.49 million units exported in the first five months, a year-on-year increase of 7.9%. NEV exports accounted for 855,000 units, reflecting a substantial growth of 64.6% [3]. Challenges Faced by Dealers - Automotive dealers are experiencing increased operational pressures, characterized by high inventory levels, price inversions, and tight funding. Approximately 80% of main sales models have a price inversion ratio of 20% [4]. - As of the end of May, the total industry inventory reached 3.45 million units, with dealer inventory at 2.55 million units.

Recommendations for Improvement - The industry association proposed three key recommendations to address the challenges: 1. Emphasize the importance of the "Private Economy Promotion Law" and the need for a supportive business environment for private enterprises [5]. 2. Call for intervention to address internal competition issues, urging manufacturers to adopt a "sales-based production" approach and reduce dealer inventory levels [5]. 3. Advocate for financial institutions to provide better support for automotive dealers, including optimizing loan policies and addressing issues related to the "luxury car tax" [6].
