At present, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have become the global consensus, and the mainland strives to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. Under such a background, the domestic new energy vehicle market has also ushered in another growth.
In the first quarter of 2022, the retail sales of new energy vehicles reached 1.07 million units, an increase of 137.6% year-on-year. In March, the domestic retail penetration rate reached 28.2%, and this series of growth data also indicates that 2022 will become a "key year" for the new pattern of the automotive industry.
On March 29, 2022, Guangqi Honda, which grasps the vane of the domestic market, released a new electric brand e:NP, and the brand's first model, e:NP1, also officially debuted, which also indicates that Guangqi Honda has opened the road to the advancement of the electric era.
With new brands, new products naturally also have new channels, the current market, whether it is a new car-making force or a joint venture friend has occupied the opportunity, so in order to accelerate the construction of an electrified sales service store, as well as a new channel model with supermarkets as the main body, GAC Honda will gac acura brand resources integrated into the electrification business, is also a natural and logical move.
Of course, for the original GAC Acura car owners, after GAC Honda integrates some special stores, it will continue to provide honorable services for GAC Acura car owners through gac acura special stores that have joined the electrified sales service network and related channels of GAC Honda.
Therefore, in my opinion, this time GAC Honda absorbs and integrates GAC Acura brand resources, just like the two heroes in the anime in order to save the world, so that GAC Honda has obtained the "high-end temperament" most needed to promote the electrification cause, which provides the first conditions for future brand promotion, supporting services and user co-creation.
From 2022 onwards, the GAC Honda e:NP brand will pass on the green concept and excellent products to every consumer at the pace of a new car every year, especially after the completion of the pure electric factory in 2024, the development speed of GAC Honda electrification will be further activated, and if you look back at today, both manufacturers and consumers may show a smile.
