Sector back on growth track after two-year slowdown
China's passenger vehicle sales in January surged more than 45 percent from a year earlier, the largest year-on-year growth since April 2010, indicating the sector is shifting gear back into high-speed growth after a two-year slowdown.
A total of 1,704,185 cars, sport utility vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles and minivans were delivered in the nation in January, up 45.4 percent over January last year and a 9.2 percent increase from the previous month, the China Passenger Car Association said on Thursday.
