Beijing (Gasgoo)- In the third month of 2022, Beijing’s home-grown passenger vehicle registrations recovered from the slump in February, especially new energy vehicle registrations, according to data compiled by Gasgoo Auto Research Institute (GARI). 

In March, a total of 41,758 passenger vehicles were registered in the capital of China, surging 70% from a month ago, but not quite catching up with the 44,238-vehicle record in January.
