Chinese auto brands are on track to account for just over 50% of the cars sold in their home market this year thanks to a growing dominance in electric vehicles, consultancy AlixPartners said on Wednesday.

China passed Japan as the world's largest auto exporter in the first quarter of this year.

China's market for what it calls "new energy vehicles" , including plug-in hybrids and pure electrics, has benefited from the equivalent of $57 billion in subsidies from the government during 2016 to 2022, the consultancy said.Cars drive on the road during the evening rush hour in Beijing, China, July 1, 2019.
