China is already ahead of the US in the supply of cars, but this is only the beginning
Bloomberg reports that China in 2022 ranked third in car shipments after Japan and Germany, ahead of the US and South Korea.
Overseas shipments of cars made in China have tripled since 2020, according to the China Passenger Car Association. Last year their number exceeded 2.5 million. This is only 60,000 less than Germany, whose exports have declined in recent years. Everything goes to the fact that China will soon come in second place after Japan.
Chinese brands are currently the market leaders in the Middle East and Latin America. In Europe, Chinese-made vehicles sold are mainly Tesla electric models and Chinese-owned former European brands such as Volvo and MG, as well as European brands such as Dacia Spring or BMW iX3, which are made exclusively in China.
Chinese brands such as BYD and Nio are also on the rise, seeking to dominate the world of new energy vehicles. Sponsored by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Warren Buffett’s BYD is attracting electric vehicle buyers in developed countries such as Australia.
According to Xu Haidong, deputy chief engineer of the China Automobile Manufacturers Association, this is just the beginning. The goal is to sell 8 million passenger cars overseas by 2030, more than double Japan’s current shipments, he said.
BYD introduced the new Denza N8 crossover, which is an upgraded version of the BYD Tang model.
The announcement turned out to be formal: the manufacturer published the first images, but did not disclose details about the technical component of Denza N8.
According to Chinese Automobiles, Denza N8 will be available with hybrid and pure electric powertrains. In addition, it is known that buyers will be able to choose between the number of seats in the cabin (5, 6 or 7).
The original BYD Tang was released in 2015, a second generation followed in 2018 and is still in production today. In 2019, Denza X was released based on this model, which was created in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. Denza N8 replaces Denza X.
Prices and other details about the Denza N8 will be made public later.
Tesla has released a limited edition Cybertruck-themed GigaBier beer. Beer is offered for $30.
It is worth recognizing that this is not the first original idea from Elon Musk’s companies. Previously, The Boring Company offered flamethrowers and Burnt Hair cologne with the smell of burnt hair, and Tesla released a Cyberwhistle in the spirit of Cybertruck. Of course, there was Tesla branded tequila. By the way, at the time of its announcement, they also thought that this was an April Fool’s joke.
The Tesla GigaBier bottle is designed to mimic the shape of the Cybertruck, paying homage to the 500-year-old Reinheitsgebot tradition of German brewing. Enjoy this beer brewed in Berlin with our exclusive Cyberhops and notes of citrus, bergamot and sweet fruit. Each bottle has a glow-in-the-dark Giga logo.

The Chinese sat down Qualcomm and Nvidia? China launches its own 7nm SoC for cars with 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU and LPDDR5 memory support
Many cars are now equipped with Qualcomm SoCs (which are responsible for both multimedia capabilities and driver assistance systems) and Nvidia Drive systems-on-a-chip (for advanced autonomous driving functions). But China managed to release a competitor, if not to Nvidia platforms, then to Qualcomm for sure: mass production of the 7-nanometer SoC Dragon Eagle No. 1 for use in cars (so-called “digital cockpit systems”).
Wang Kai, CEO of SiEngine Technology, said work on Dragon Eagle No. 1 was carried out for three years. During this time, the system was developed, verified, tested and launched into mass production.
SoC includes all standard components including 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU, LPDDR5-6400 memory controller, 8 TOPS Neural Processor (AI Task Accelerator), ISP, DSP clusters and other typical Components.
It is reported that as early as the middle of the year, many new car models will be released in China that will use the Dragon Eagle No. 1. Among these automakers are Geely and FAW.
