China's auto sales surged 29.7% in July from a year earlier to 2.42 million units, extending a recovery that began in June with the help of eased COVID curbs and government incentives.
But sales for the first seven months were still 2% lower than the corresponding 2021 period, data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers showed on Thursday.
July sales were 3.3% lower than June, as heat waves nationwide slowed the pace of factory production and reduced customer visits to showrooms. The industry was hit hard by efforts to combat COVID-19 earlier in the year, with month of stringent lockdowns in the major manufacturing hubs of Shanghai and Changchun.
