In addition, the vehicle delivery volume of Xpeng in the first quarter reached 21,821 units, an increase of 19.7% year-on-year.
In terms of profitability, Xpeng’s gross profit margin rose to 12.9%, reflecting the company’s effective management in cost control and pricing strategy. The company maintained a good cash flow status. At the end of the first quarter of 2024, the cash reserve was as high as 41.4 billion RMB, providing a solid financial foundation for the company’s continuous development and investment.
Xpeng Motors has not only made progress in financial performance but also made significant arrangements in corporate strategy. To enhance the overall competitiveness in the Chinese auto industry, the company actively introduced industry talents in fields such as autonomous driving, brand marketing, and modeling design. These measures aim to improve the company’s overall capabilities and lay a foundation for future growth.
In terms of product development, Xpeng Motors displayed a strong desire for market expansion. The X9 model launched in the first quarter and the more than ten brand new models planned to be launched in the next three years cover the main sub-market price range from 100,000 to 400,000, demonstrating the company’s sensitivity to market demand and the determination to meet consumers’ diverse needs. Of particular note is that the first A-class pure electric sedan of the MONA product series is expected to debut in June this year, to be officially launched and delivered at scale in the third quarter. In addition, a brand-new B-class pure electric sedan is also planned to be delivered in the fourth quarter of this year, further enriching the company’s product line.
The internationalization strategy of Xpeng Motors is also accelerating. Xpeng plans to expand its overseas sales network to cover over twenty countries, and has established cooperative relationships with multiple dealer groups. It’s worth mentioning that the G9 model has been exported to the European market, and the left-hand drive version of G6 has started to accept reservations in Europe, indicating that the company’s layout in overseas markets is gradually being realized.
The technological cooperation between Xpeng Motors and Volkswagen Group is receiving a lot of attention. The electric architecture developed by both parties is expected to be applied to Volkswagen-branded electric vehicles produced in China from 2026, which not only showcases Xpeng’s strength in the technical field but also adds a feather to its cap for future profitability. Relying on technology accumulation and operating efficiency reforms, the company continues to promote organizational and supply chain changes, aiming to enhance overall operating efficiency and market response speed.
Overall, Xpeng Motors demonstrated its strong growth momentum and forward-looking strategic planning in the first-quarter financial results for 2024. With the company’s in-depth advancement in product innovation, market expansion, and technological cooperation, Xpeng Motors is expected to continue expanding its market share in the field of new energy vehicles and create more value for investors and consumers.
