Electric Pickups And SUVs Continue To Power Up GM And Ford's EV Progress
Electric Pickups And SUVs Continue To Power Up GM And Ford's EV Progress
This week, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) revealed it had its second-best quarter despite challenges as its U.S. EV sales improved both during the quarter and in June. General Motors (NYSE:GM) also posted its best quarterly sales figures in more than three years and it owes it to notable increases in pickup truck and EV sales. Moreover, its second quarter EV deliveries reached a record, while its full-size pickup truck deliveries were the highest since 2021.
福特汽车公司(NYSE:F)在面对挑战时表现出色，本季度是其表现第二好的季度，其美国电动汽车销量在本季度和6月份均有提高。而通用汽车(NYSE:GM)也发布了超过3年来最好的季度销售数据，主要得益于皮卡和电动汽车销量的明显增长。此外，通用汽车的第二季度电动汽车交付量达到了历史新高，而其大型皮卡交付量也是自2021年以来最高的。

In the second quarter, GM delivered 696,086 vehicles, marking a 0.6% YoY increase and highest since the fourth quarter of 2020. GM reported record EV sales that grew 40% YoY to 21,930, boosted by a jump in deliveries of the Cadillac Lyriq. But, EVs still made only 3.2% of its total second-quarter sales. GM sold about 229,000 full-size pickup trucks which is a 6% YoY increase. For the first half of the year, GM's total sales contracted 0.4% YoY to almost 1.3 million vehicles. On a less bright note, the US Environmental Protection Agency revealed this week thatGM failed to comply with the Clean Air Act and will need to pay a penalty of $145.8 million penalty due to excess CO2 emissions over a six-year span. GM has not addmited to commiting any wrongdoing but stated the problem is the result of a change in testing procedures that the EPA put in place in 2016, showing its willingness to resolve the outstanding issues with the federal government.
在第二季度，通用汽车交付了696,086辆汽车，同比增长0.6%，是自2020年第四季度以来的最高水平。通用汽车报告说，由于凯迪拉克Lyriq的交付量增加，其电动汽车销量创下了纪录，同比增长40%；但电动汽车销量仍只占其第二季度总销量的3.2%。通用汽车销售了约229,000辆大型皮卡，同比增长6%。在上半年，通用汽车的总销量同比下降0.4%，降至近130万辆。不过更不那么美好的消息是，美国环境保护局本周透露，通用汽车未能遵守《清洁空气法》，将因在六年时间内超过二氧化碳排放标准而支付1.458亿美元的罚款。通用汽车没有承认有任何违法行为，但表示问题是由于EPA在2016年实施的检测程序变化导致的，这显示了通用汽车解决与联邦政府尚未解决的问题的意愿。

During the second quarter, Ford reported a slight 0.8% YoY growth as it sold 536,050 vehicles. In June, Ford reported it sold 166,448 vehicles which means its sales contracted 6% YoY. But the bigger picture is that Ford grew its all-electric car sales. During last year's comparable quarter, EVs made 3.5% of its total volume, and their share has now growth to 4.4%. In June, it sold 6,972 EVs which represents a YoY increase of 18%. Also in June, Ford F-150 Lightning sales grew as much as 79% YoY to 2,552 units.
福特第二季度销售了536,050辆车，同比略微增长0.8%。6月份，福特报告称销售了166,448辆车，这意味着其销量同比下降了6%。但更重要的是，福特增加了全部电动汽车的销售。去年同期，电动汽车占其总销量的3.5%，而现在它们的份额已经增长到4.4%。6月份，它卖出了6,972辆电动汽车，同比增长18%。同时，福特F-150 Lightning汽车在6月份的销售也同比增长了79%，达到了2,552辆。
