Chapter 0733 - Top Ten in the World (Part II)
2.78 million units!
It currently ranks fourth in the world in terms of sales!
"Even if Toyota, GM and Peugeot Citroen all have higher sales than Tianming Group, then Tianming Group's global sales last year were also the seventh in the world, such a development speed is really shocking!" Edward couldn't help but say.
Among these car manufacturers who have released data, they were established much earlier than Tianming Group, Toyota, Volkswagen and other automobile companies have a history of nearly 100 years, and even South Korea's Hyundai Motor has a history of more than 30 years of car manufacturing, which has today's sales status.
But what about Tianming Group? Even from the group's predecessor Xunming Gear Factory, it is only about 15 years, and the time to really enter the field of vehicles is even shorter, in more than ten years, the sales of vehicles can exceed two million, into the world's top ten level, Edward admitted, he has never seen such a rapid development of enterprises.
In 1990, when "Consumer Reports" selected the "Top Ten Models in the Eighties" activity around the world, the only two cars under Tianming Group, Phoenix and Kirin were both shortlisted, which became a great sensation in the international automobile industry at that time.
"Among the remaining three major car manufacturers, Toyota and General Motors' sales are definitely more than Tianming Group, there is no doubt about it, as for the French Peugeot Citroen, compared with the sales growth of the two companies in recent years, I think this year's Peugeot Citroen, sales may not catch up with Tianming Group, so Tianming Group's final sales ranking, should be the sixth in the world!" Phoebe put forward his own point of view.
"Sixth or seventh, in fact, it doesn't mean much, I don't think Tianming Group cares, because their ultimate goal must be the number one in the world!" Edward said with a smile.
"No. 1 in the world? Phoebe looked at the comparison of the data on the computer, shrugged her shoulders and said.
"Who knows? But Tianming Group is not just used to create miracles, maybe in another five years or so, Tianming Group will be able to replace the current position of GM or Toyota, everything is uncertain. Edward replied with a smile.
On the domestic side, Zhou Jingming almost forgot about the sales ranking, and after entering February, Zhou Jingming's daily work has become more numerous. There are less than ten days left before the Chinese New Year, and Zhou Jingming must arrange some things so that he can deal with them one by one in an orderly manner after the New Year.
"At present, the design of the Hongmeng supercar is basically almost completed, the engine side is doing the final debugging work, and the body development project team has also handed over the latest revised drawings to Lao Chen's body factory......
In Zhou Jingming's office, Zhao Ke is reporting to him on the development progress of Hongmeng. After the efforts of the Hongmeng project team last year, Tianming Group's first supercar, Hongmeng, has entered the final stage and will soon be able to meet consumers.
"When is the first prototype expected to be completed?" Zhou Jingming asked as he spoke.
"It should be between June and July, and the first Hongmeng prototype will be assembled. Zhao Ke replied.
"Good. Then we are scheduled to exhibit our HarmonyOS supercar at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Zhou Jingming summed up in his heart, and immediately arranged it like this.
The Frankfurt Motor Show usually starts in September every year, just in time for the first prototype of HarmonyOS.
"Okay, then I'll pay attention to the progress of the project team and make sure that all the work on the prototype car is done before the Frankfurt Motor Show starts. Zhao Ke nodded.
"This year's Spring Festival is on the 16th of this month, we have a group meeting this Friday to arrange the finishing work of the previous year, and the companies can also take stock of the asset status, and the finance department and Lao Ma are responsible for the summary report. Zhou Jingming glanced at the calendar on the table and said.
Every year before the Spring Festival, Tianming Group will conduct an asset inventory, which is already a routine work.
As time passes, Toyota and General Motors, the two car companies, announced their global sales last year on the same day, and Peugeot Citroen also handed over its own report card two days ago, so that the global sales data of major international automakers in 1998 have been collected.
I thought that Toyota would surpass General Motors this year and top the world's first position for the first time, but I didn't expect Toyota's sales to plummet, and it was not even as much as Ford's, only ranking third in the world, which Edward and Phoebe did not expect.
"According to the data collected now, and then summarize the content of the yearbook that was written before, fill in the data, and send it to me after review, and on the 15th of this month, we officially released the 1998 yearbook report of the automobile industry. Edward quickly sent the task out.
After two days of continuous work, Consumer Reports officially released last year's International Automotive Industry Yearbook Report on February 15, and attached the ranking of the top 20 car manufacturers in the world in terms of sales last year.
According to this report, last year's global sales champion was still General Motors of the United States, whose total sales worldwide reached an astonishing 7.89 million units, only 110,000 away from eight million units.
Immediately behind General Motors, also from the United States Ford Motor, in 1998, Ford's global sales also reached a terrifying 6.75 million units; the third place is the island country of Toyota, affected by the Asian financial crisis, Toyota's sales last year almost showed a cliff-like decline, annual sales of only 5.97 million, not even less than 6 million.
Volkswagen, which ranked fourth, sold a total of 5.15 million vehicles, while DaimlerChrysler, which ranked fifth, sold 4.3 million vehicles worldwide!
Comparing the top five automakers in the world in terms of sales, you will find that in addition to Toyota, the remaining four are all from Europe and the United States, of which the three major automakers in the United States are all listed, which reflects the super manufacturing level of the United States on the one hand.
If analyzed from the data, GM's total sales of nearly 8 million vehicles can be said to be unique, 1.2 million more than the second-place Ford Motor, which shows that its strength is terrifying.
Even DaimlerChrysler, which ranks fifth, has more than four million sales, which shows that the global auto market is indeed in the best period in recent years, and the standard for entering the top five in the world is also rising again and again.
After DaimlerChrysler, the world's sixth largest car company in terms of global sales is Tianming Group, which is also the first time that Tianming Group has been listed among the world's top 10 automakers.
The first time he was shortlisted, he was the sixth in the world!
