Heavy truck sales data for the first quarter of the last two days has finally come out. According to statistics, the sales volume of heavy trucks in the first quarter of this year amounted to 101800 units, a decrease of 39.16% compared with the same period last year (167,323 units).
Most companies benefit from dump trucks
In the more than 100,000 heavy trucks sold in March, dump trucks accounted for a considerable proportion, and the sales of some dump trucks accounted for nearly half or more of the total sales. For example, the dump trucks account for 45% of the total sales volume of Auman heavy trucks, account for over 50% of the total sales volume of Dongfeng Liuzhou Gas, and account for more than 80% of the total sales of SAIC Iveco Hongyan; the dump trucks are also heavy trucks, Shaanxi Auto, and Hualing. 3 companies focus on sales. The hot sale of dump trucks is inextricably linked with the national infrastructure construction.
In terms of the price of kingpin products, the “Commercial Automotive News†reporter learned that heavy-duty truck sales in March mainly concentrated on mid- to high-end models with more than RMB 200,000. Such as Hongyan King Kong, special tyrants, Dongfeng Tianlong and other models. In the area of ​​sales, the reporter found that many of the key areas for sales of heavy truck companies are concentrated in the western region. Due to the factors of post-disaster reconstruction, Sichuan has rightfully become a key market for heavy truck sales. Of course, companies still play an important role in the traditional advantage areas, such as Hualing in the southeast coastal area, SAIC Iveco Hongyan in North China and so on.
There is still room for development of trucks
At the same time as the development of the dump truck, the trucks are not far behind. In particular, for some companies that are known for trucks, trucks still account for most of the total sales.
Dongfeng commercial vehicle related personnel told reporters: "In March Dongfeng sold a total of 15,083 heavy trucks, vehicles are mostly tractors." Tractors are also JAC's superior products. The company’s staff said: “In the 1,100 heavy trucks sold in March, dump trucks are the fastest growing, while trucks are the largest, accounting for about 55% of total sales.â€
Regarding the market prospects of tractors, relevant personages in JAC believe that: “In the long run, the long-haul truck market will shrink, but there is still room for development in the next year or two. This is because of the country’s current macroeconomic situation. The transportation of goods is mainly based on medium and short-distance, and the demand for trailers used for long-distance transportation will be reduced. This leaves a certain space for trucks mainly used for medium and short-distance transportation."
