China LCV May 2023: Wuling now #1 year-to-date

The Wuling Mini Truck is the best-selling LCV in China in May.

260,265 new Light Commercial Vehicles hit Chinese roads in May, a 32% year-on-year improvement. Keep in mind May 2022 was off 41% on the year prior. The year-to-date volume now stands at 1,249,83, up 9% on the same period in 2022. Wuling (+130.6%) simply lodges the largest year-on-year gain in the Top 10 and ends the month almost 20,000 units above #2 Foton (+19.4%). As a result Wuling snaps the year-to-date top spot with over 205,000 sales. Changan (+30.8%) almost matches the market at #3 while Jinbei (+130%) and Maxus (+43.9%) also shine. Model-wise, the Wuling Mini Truck (+257.9%) repeats at #1 but remains way below the Foton Light Truck (+13.1%) in the year-to-date order.
