Beijing Automotive Group plans to eliminate gasoline cars from its own brand by 2025
A top executive confirmed Beijing Automotive Group will stop selling fuel-powered vehicles under its main label, marking a major shift toward electric mobility in China's auto sector.
Beijing Automotive Group Co, known as BAIC, announced it intends to cease production and sales of conventional gasoline cars under its primary brand no later than 2025. A senior official at the company stated this decision is driven by an aggressive new energy vehicle initiative. The announcement targets fuel-powered vehicles specifically sold under the Beijing Automotive Group name. This transition aims to replace traditional combustion engines within the corporate's direct consumer offerings. Industry participants are observing significant shifts toward electrification across major Chinese manufacturers, but this specific target for BAIC represents a defined end date for its standard car lineups. The company did not disclose production targets for new energy vehicles or financial projections related to this pivot.
