China’s largest car maker SAIC Motor Corporation (600104.SH) saw sales increase by 33.7% in April compared to a year earlier to 305,634 units, Reuters reported. The figures reveal how SAIC is still benefitting from the Chinese government’s stimulus measures, which include tax incentives for small cars. At the same time, SAIC’s growth in April slowed from 58% in March – indicating that sales growth could decelerate in the months ahead, though high expansion rates in the last three quarters will mean a higher basis of comparison. In the first four months of 2010, SAIC and all its ventures sold 1,197,453 units, a 54.8% jump from one year ago. SAIC runs manufacturing ventures with General Motors (GM.NYSE) and Volkswagen (VOW.FWB). Its venture with GM saw sales jump 62.1% to 89,562 units in April. Shanghai Volkswagen sold 72,922 cars in April – up 25.4% but slower than the 48% annual growth in the first four months.
