It has been tough going in recent times with the outbreak of the Covid-19 novel coronavirus, and the downturn has also been reflected in Geely Automobile Holding’s sales figures for last month, which includes Lynk & Co, saw the Chinese automaker chart a 75% decrease in sales to 21,168 units for February 2020 compared to the same month last year.
The disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak is in addition to the regular common factors in lower sales for month of February such as fewer working days in the month, as well as the Chinese New Year holidays immediately prior to this.
Elsewhere, other automakers have been adversely affected by the outbreak as well – Ford and its joint venture partner, among others, have been issued stop-work guidelines, while Tata, Mahindra and Nissan faced disruptions due to issues with parts supply from China.
Total sales volume recorded by the Geely group for the first two months of this year was 133,006 units, representing a decrease of around 45% compared to the same period last year, which brings the company to just 9% of its full-year target volume of 1,410,000 units for 2020. Also suffering decline was the group’s export volume, which decreased 59% year-on-year to 4,847 units for the first two months of this year.
The group’s total sales volume in the China market also fell, by 44% compared to the same period last year to 128,159 units in the first two months of 2020. Of these, 6,421 units were new energy and electrified vehicles, said Geely. In February, 8,321 sedans, 11,934 SUVs and 913 MPVs were sold. In this time, the total sales volume of Lynk & Co models totalled 2,066 units.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
As expected, only P2 and honda sales go Up.
Kasihan Geely, now they will cut funding for Proton even….how sad. I feel like crying now. Who knows, they might even sell Proton off if times get worse.
Volvo And Geely car can only sell in China. And now china volume so low. Can survive or not
Volvo won 2018 COTY Award in Japan. Malu their own brands lost to a China car.
Why Nissan Japan car plant has to shutdown due to coronavirus in China? I thought Japan made cars are using Japan parts, why is it using China made parts?
Is it true that cars made in Japan are built with China parts? So how does it qualify to be called Made in Japan, might as well close down the factories and make the cars in China. The price will be cheaper as they don’t have to overpay their Japanese workers.
OMG , P2 car are only meant for Trash buyers.
Habislah proton!
Proton staff were expecting fat bonus this year, now, all that dreams are gone. Pity Proton staff, all of them got so big families with so many kids they need to feed, now, they won’t get that bonus….
wow hebat you boleh kenal semua staff proton punya family size. you orang top management proton ka?
Copy paste: “one moron who name ”Kerajaan Pintu Belakang” telling proton staff has big family to feed and without bonus they are not able to food the family, My advise is why not you go and feed them.”
Okeylah. At least they didn’t have to shutdown unlike supposedly Jap or Korean branded cars but using Made in China parts.
Nothing beats our Saga, now using Hyundai gearbox. Malu betul. 30 years of motoring also, we cannot put a decent gearbox in our best seller
Both companies got so much confidence in each other, they dare to share their high quality gearbox with each other.
Will you ever see a first world gearbox in a Perodua? Even Proton X50 will soon use COTY award winning engine and gearbox in their next car. Perodua bila lagi?
Predict it will hit our shores because of ‘supply-chain’ and other issues.
no worries. proton sales still strong.
So… No China, No Part Supply.. What about PROTON?
No problem cuz they now using localised parts since X70 is CKD and X50 will be CKD from start. You can say their timing was perfect
Their Tier 2, Tier 3 and so on, some of it from China.
if worst comes to worst, P1/Geely can make and sell face masks, or hand sanitizer, etc. This will supplement their income, right?. ;)
Besides, Honda oredi started selling baju…
Kunta lost his PH troll job and Nissan salesjob. Left his P2 trolling career but that is in danger so only option left for him is go back selling women lingerie to survive.
Sales was bad because China buyers are waiting for Geely to come out with sanitizer car. So they can kill 2 birds with 1 stone, buying a new car and keeping themselves safe from Virus. I bet you after March, sales volume will shoot up like crazy.

Worst to come
Toyota can also sell GORENG PISANG, NASI GORENG and AYAM GORENG to supplement the group incomes due to drop in sales in China..
I guess most people wh condemned in the comments are totally dick heads , Come on la idiots its not about Proton , not about Geely or about other car makers ..It totally about the effect to us where the covid19 is effecting globally and effected all the industries..but you idiots making fun and I saw a comment from one moron who name ”Kerajaan Pintu Belakang” telling proton staff has big family to feed and without bonus they are not able to food the family , My advise is why not you go and feed them.
Think wisely people..
Totally agree with you these people are totally sick and good for nothing..
Their comments are not constructive but destructive lacking of civil moral understanding and thus did acquire low quality education.
That is UEC ed for you
Wrong that’ll be Mara Educare you inherited !!
Their sales is already dropped way before Covid-19. Now just want to hide behind the virus.
Too bad for you, Proton is still going strong.
Kesian Proton aka China rebadgers *claps claps claps*
Kesian kereta Jepun, orang di negara China pun malu nak beli sebab image kereta Jepun adalah untuk orang serdahana dan golongan pendapatan rendah saperti Perodua.
Kesian Perodua pun pakai china parts aka rebadged kereta Jepun jeni’s. K car. Clap, clap clap!!!!
No need for your fake pity. Proton is doing well, thanks but no thanks ya. Better worry about your monthly commission selling Jap cars disguised as national car.
what do people expect from a car that only can sell in China? in Malaysia under Proton badge they managed to bring it for sale otherwise it would have never sold a unit to people. Geely is the most corrupt company n China and have a bad name for share manipulation globally. i fell sorry for proton
You are talking nonsense
This is Fake news as everyone knows
Same goes for Malaysia having a bad name too as corrupt practise is a norm to do business . Not many foreign investments willing to come here and that is why the ringgit value is like Banana .
If Proton really so bad under Geely why so many trolls aka salesmen from rival brands so nervous and hardworking to spread lies and BS online? Yeah, that’s right. Proton under Geely is taking so many sales from them, they now have too much free time sitting in empty showrooms. Prime example: This moron tikus and his dupes ‘Kerajaan Pintu Belakang’ and ‘Syed Kamil’.
