Category: Group Highlights

Release time: 2026-03-25

Overview: Looking at sales trends by city tier, first-tier and new first-tier cities remain the core growth engines for new-energy light-duty trucks, accounting for a cumulative 63% of total sales—a nearly 3-percentage-point increase compared with 2025. Second- and third-tier cities follow, with new-energy light-duty truck sales accounting for around 30%. Meanwhile, demand in fourth- and fifth-tier cities remains weak, leading to a slight 1.1-percentage-point decline in their share of total sales. This underscores that new-energy light-duty trucks still face significant challenges in converting existing diesel-fleet volumes into new-energy sales.

According to new statistics, sales of new-energy light trucks in February totaled just 5,471 units, a year-on-year decline of 24.6%. Compared with the same period last year, the number of manufacturers reporting sales data fell from 35 to 25, with only 13 manufacturers recording sales exceeding 100 units and just 18 achieving sales above 10 units.

According to the February 2026 ranking of the top 10 new-energy light-truck manufacturers, Qingling Motors has surged into the industry’s top three thanks to its robust product capabilities and precise market positioning, posting sales of 656 units—a year-on-year increase of 281.4%—and emerging as a key growth driver in the new-energy light-truck market. Its models, including the Qingling EVM600, Qingling EVM100 Two of its flagship models both ranked among the top 10 best-selling new-energy light trucks in February, posting year-on-year growth of 380.8% and 200.0%, respectively—clear evidence of Qingling’s deep technological expertise and strong market competitiveness in the new-energy commercial-vehicle segment.

In the newly released February 2026 ranking of the top 10 new-energy light-truck manufacturers, the industry as a whole is characterized by “increasing differentiation and rising market concentration.” Among the top 10 companies, only four posted year-on-year growth, with Qingling Motors emerging as the benchmark for growth among the leading players, posting a remarkable 281.4% year-on-year increase. With a 12.0% market share, Qingling, alongside SAIC Maxus and Remote New Energy Commercial Vehicles, collectively commands over 50% of the core market, underscoring the strong breakthrough achieved by traditional commercial-vehicle manufacturers in their transition to new energy. Looking at cumulative sales for January–February, Qingling Motors continues to maintain rapid growth, with total sales of 861 units—a 237.6% year-on-year increase—solidly holding sixth place in the industry. Against the backdrop of a 27.9% year-on-year rise in overall cumulative sales in the new-energy light-truck market, Qingling has become a key driver of industry growth.

 

Product strength is the core pillar of market competitiveness, and Qingling’s two flagship models delivered standout performances in February’s Top 10 new-energy light-truck sales rankings. Specifically, the Qingling EVM600 ranked fourth with 375 units sold, a year-on-year surge of 380.8% and a market share of 6.9%; the Qingling EVM100 came in sixth with 276 units sold, doubling from the same period last year to achieve a 200.0% increase and capturing a 5.0% market share. Together, these two models are among the few on the list to post growth exceeding 200%, and Qingling is one of the rare brands in the industry whose two models have simultaneously made it into the Top 10. In the cumulative model-sales ranking for January–February, the Qingling EVM600 once again held steady within the top ten, with total sales of 426 units—a year-on-year increase of 287.3%—continuing to lead the segment.

The counter-trend growth of Qingling’s new-energy light trucks stems from decades of technological accumulation and a meticulously targeted product R&D strategy. Both the Qingling EVM600 and EVM100 are equipped with CATL high-efficiency batteries and Bosch electric-drive systems, leveraging Qingling Isuzu’s mature chassis technology to deliver outstanding range, low energy consumption, and high reliability. The EVM600 boasts a maximum range of 350 kilometers and features an L2-level intelligent driver-assistance system, while the EVM100 delivers a peak torque of 1,000 N·m—10% higher than competing models in terms of torque density. In addition, both models come with an extended warranty: 8 years or 400,000 kilometers for the battery and 5 years or 200,000 kilometers for the motor. These vehicles are perfectly suited to diverse logistics applications such as urban delivery and cold-chain logistics, making them the preferred choice for logistics companies seeking to reduce costs and boost efficiency.

 

From a regional market perspective, Qingling New Energy light trucks are closely aligned with market demand trends, achieving deep penetration in both core and high-growth markets.

Looking at sales trends by city tier, first-tier and new first-tier cities remain the core growth engines for new-energy light trucks, accounting for a cumulative 63% of total sales—up nearly 3 percentage points from 2025. Second- and third-tier cities follow, with new-energy light-truck sales accounting for around 30%. Meanwhile, demand in fourth- and fifth-tier cities remains weak, resulting in a slight 1.1-percentage-point decline in their share of total sales. This underscores the significant challenges that new-energy light trucks still face in converting sales within the vast existing fleet of gasoline-powered vehicles.
