Beijing (ZXZC)- China’s new energy vehicle startup Li Auto set another new record for its monthly deliveries in the last month of 2021, the automaker announced on the first day of 2022.

Last month, Li Auto delivered 14,087 Li ONEs, representing a year-on-year surge of 130%, while its quarterly deliveries amounted to 35,221 vehicles, up 40.2% quarter over quarter and 143.5% year over year. The quarterly results were much higher than its outlook (between 30,000 and 32,000 vehicles) the company announced in November.
