China produced 166,900 cars in April, up 83.6 percent over the same period last year, sources with the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Tuesday.

The total car production in the first four months amounted to 565,400, doubled that of the same period last year, and most majorcar producers in China renewed their monthly production record in April.

Statistics show that private purchase strongly supported production increases. Car sales in April increased substantially and more than 1,000 cars were sold in three successive days in Beijing in late April.

The soaring car production and sales volume in April indicated that people preferred to use cars rather than public transport during the SARS period, and sales of private cars made up the bulkof the car industry.
