According to the CAAM (China Association of Automobile Manufacturers), China’s vehicle sales surged 11.5% YoY (year-over-year) to 2.3 million units. Thanks to this surge, the year-to-date sales growth now stands at an impressive 4.8%—comfortably above the 3% growth that CAAM predicted for the year.
