QUITO, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) — Ecuador’s sales of hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) saw a surge in January, mainly driven by Chinese EV brands, the Association of Automotive Companies of Ecuador (AEADE) said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The country’s EV sales in the period increased from 181 units to 612 units year on year, AEADE said in a sales report, noting that hybrids and EVs accounted for 22.2 percent in the Ecuadorian car market.<\/p>\n
According to the report, 15 Chinese brands, including BYD, Dongfeng, GAC, Chery and JAC, were among the 21 best-selling EV brands in January.<\/p>\n
BYD led the surge of Chinese EV sales in Ecuador with 311 units sold, a 170.4-percent increase year on year.<\/p>\n
AEADE added that January became the best month for the Ecuadorian automotive market, with a 37-percent growth in new vehicle sales, up from 8,276 units in 2025 to 11,342 units in 2026.<\/p>\n
Genaro Baldeon, the president of AEADE, said that the decrease in country risk has made financing more accessible, which drives demand and keeps the automotive market in Ecuador active. \u25a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" … EV brands, the Association of Automotive<\/span> Companies of Ecuador (AEADE) said … best month for the Ecuadorian automotive<\/span> market, with a 37-percent … drives demand and keeps the automotive<\/span> market in Ecuador active. \u00e2\u0096\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76569\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
