Chinese car exports to Australia reached nearly 36,000 units in April, overtaking Japan's 29,000 deliveries, Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing government data.

The number drove Chinese car deliveries to Australia in the first four months of 2026 to above 100,000, 51% higher compared with the year-ago period, the report said.

Imports from BYD (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) helped lift Chinese car imports, according to the report.

Electric vehicles and hybrids comprised nearly 46% of new car sales across all sources in May, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries said Wednesday.
