January through December in 2004, the production value of automotive trade reached 1101.009 billion (RMB), which was 17.49% higher than that of 2003; products sales revenue reached 1084.955 billion (RMB), 16.88% higher than that of 2003; the total profit reached 71.985 billion (RMB), 5.95% lower than that of 2003; sales profit rate was 6.63%, 1.62% lower than that of 2003.  A clear fact was that the growth of output and production value had been significantly slowed down, and at the same time, the profit growth was minus, which could be attributed to the sharp price fluctuation of raw materials and energy sources.
