Concluding remarks
In 2024, the post-car market showed a clear trend of segmentation, with more than 10,000 shops closed, while the headline business continued to expand. On the other hand, the number of newly registered new energy vehicles nationwide last year reached 11. 25 million, an increase of 51. 49 per cent over the same period, or 41. 83 per cent of the total number of newly registered vehicles. Compared to fuel trucks, pure electric vehicles do not require traditional power mechanical structures such as engines and gearboxes and therefore do not need to replace maintenance items such as oil, trifiltration (oil filtering, empty filtering, machine filtering) and belts, and overall maintenance costs and requirements may be reduced by 30 to 60 per cent. This change poses new challenges for automobile maintenance enterprises。
