On May 24th, Xpeng Motors released the financial data for the first quarter of 2023, with revenue of 4.03 billion yuan in the first quarter, down 45.9% year-on-year, and an estimated 4.22 billion yuan. The net loss was 2.34 billion yuan, and the market expected net loss was 1.898 billion yuan, compared with 1.7 billion yuan in the same period of last year; The adjusted loss per share was 1.28 yuan.
According to the announcement, the total delivery volume of Xpeng Motors in the first quarter of 2023 was 18,230 vehicles, which was 17.9% lower than that of 22,204 vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2022. Xpeng Motors delivered 7,079 vehicles in April 2023. As of April 30, 2023, the cumulative total delivery volume during the year was 25,309 vehicles. In the first quarter of 2023, Xpeng Motors’s sales revenue was RMB 3.51 billion, down from the same period in 2022.
49.8%, and decreased by 24.6% compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.
He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of Xpeng Motors, said: "In the first quarter of 2023, I made decisive adjustments to the company’s strategy, organization and management team. I am confident to create a positive cycle of product sales, team morale, customer satisfaction and brand reputation in the next few quarters. Our first new model with SEPA2.0 technology architecture.
G6 will be officially launched in June, 2023, and I believe G6 will become one of the most popular explosions in the new energy SUV market in China with the price ranging from RMB 200,000 to RMB 300,000. "
Tucki G6 is the first vehicle with a boost structure. It is positioned as a pure electric medium-sized SUV, which provides two kinds of power: two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. It has 800V+silicon carbide platform, which is very fast in charging and low in energy consumption. In addition, the new car is also equipped with dual lidar, second-generation XNGP and ceiling-level intelligent voice. Next, it’s up to G6!
On the morning of May 25th, Great Wall Motor officially issued a "Statement" to report BYD. The "Statement" reported the problem that BYD Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i used atmospheric fuel tanks, and it was suspected that the evaporative pollutant emission of the whole vehicle was not up to standard. The content is as follows:
Great Wall said that it is paying close attention to the filing and handling progress of the case.
At noon that day, BYD Auto officially issued a statement in response, saying that it "resolutely opposes any form of unfair competition and reserves the right to legal proceedings". The content is as follows:
Here is a supplement to the technical background:
The newly implemented National Sixth B emission is strict, which requires higher desorption calibration of carbon canister. Carbon canister is an environmental protection device that temporarily absorbs fuel vapor in fuel tank. Compared with traditional fuel vehicle, the desorption capacity of plug-in hybrid vehicle is lower, and the engine doesn’t work for a long time, so it can’t fully flush the carbon canister, and fuel evaporation gas will accumulate more, which will lead to excessive emissions.
At present, the most common solution is the NIRCO system. The carbon canister only absorbs the oil and gas generated during refueling, and the oil and gas generated during other non-refueling processes are stored in the oil tank or discharged to the engine for combustion, but this will increase the pressure of the oil tank, so a fuel tank with high pressure tolerance and controllable pressure relief is needed, that is, a high pressure fuel tank. This is also the reason why plug-in hybrids often use high-pressure fuel tanks.
The emission of vehicle evaporative pollutants refers to the total amount of all volatile components (mainly hydrocarbon compounds in gasoline) released into the atmosphere. Although the cost of vehicles using atmospheric fuel tanks is lower, there is no vacuum equipment in the gasoline storage tank, which will cause more oil products to evaporate into vapor, and it is difficult to meet the standard of limiting vehicle evaporative emissions. This is also the reason why Great Wall Motor questioned BYD.
But this needs further verification and verification. Because there are many factors that affect evaporative emissions, not only the type of fuel tank, but also the design of engine and oil circuit, the design of fuel filler and the use of vehicles.

It is very rare for large companies to report directly, especially two car companies with such a well-known market share. In fact, it is not difficult to verify the pure technical problems. Before the investigation comes to the bottom, don’t rush to stand in line. After all, if there is a problem, it should be solved. If there is no problem, it will be better.
On May 25th, Yue, a brand-new model of Baojun, which received much attention, officially completed its listing and announced its price. Two new models were launched, with a price of 798-89800 yuan.
It is reported that from the date of listing, the majority of users can order online through Baojun APP, LING Club APP and small programs, or purchase and make an appointment for test drive through the national Wuling and Baojun offline stores.
About the new car, these points can help you quickly understand:
1. Bao Junyue is also positioning a small pure electric SUV. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 3381/1685/1721mm and the wheelbase is 2110mm;; Except for the body length, it is basically the same size as the new Suzuki Jimny.
2. The concept of Car-watch is put forward for the first time in the new car. An interactive screen is installed at the tailgate, which can support DIY text, pictures, videos, etc. to meet the personalized needs of human-vehicle interaction.
3. The biggest difference between the two models is mainly in the intelligent assisted driving part. Yueye’s top model will be equipped with the "Lingxi Intelligent Driving System" jointly built with DJI Vehicle. In addition, mainstream safety configurations such as AEB automatic emergency braking system, FCW pre-collision warning, LDW lane departure warning, DOW door opening warning, BSD blind spot monitoring and 360 panoramic images will not be absent.
4. In the power part, the new car is driven by rear-mounted rear-drive and equipped with permanent magnet synchronous drive motor. Its maximum power is 68 HP (50 kW) and its peak torque is 140 Nm. Friends who really want to take it outdoors may still have to weigh it.
5. In the endurance part, Yue also has a pure electric cruising range of 303km under CLTC working conditions, and supports the fast charging function, which is enough for commuting in the city.
I have to admit, this kind of usage scene mainly focuses on commuting in cities, and the model is personalized. The compact and flexible car is really very popular. I wonder if this Bao Junyue can create a new myth?
On May 26th, 2023, He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of Xpeng Motors, posted a message on social media, saying that "in addition to G6, a brand-new MPV——X9 is being polished recently" and that this product will open the "young" MPV market, that is, it will be developed for young users. That is, the newly exposed MPV car has been confirmed as Tucki X9.
As early as the beginning of the year, Xpeng Motors announced that in 2023, Xpeng Motors plans to launch two new cars and replace three existing old models, making a total of five models, with the goal of delivering 200,000 vehicles throughout the year. Among them, the new models are Tucki G6, which has been unveiled before, and Tucki X9, whose name was announced this time.
There is very little known information about MPV models. Spy photos show that the new car adopts X-BOT FACE 3.0 design style, and the car side is a typical MPV style. The new car is expected to be unveiled this year.
