The Chinese heavy truck market has developed rapidly since 2005, but slowed down after the international financial crisis in 2008. On January 1, 2008, the implementation of new national standards forced heavy truck enterprises to invest huge capital in introducing new manufacturing and maintenance technology and make the adjustments on product strategies. In 2009, China increased investment and issued the "Automobile Industry Promotion Plan" to stimulate domestic demand as well as support the development of the automobile industry, with the heavy truck industry rebounding. From January to July of 2009, 274,700 heavy trucks were sold in China. It is expected that the infrastructure construction will be carried out in the latter half of 2009, and there will be increasing demand for heavy trucks, so the industry is expected to revive then.

China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. always takes a dominant position in the Chinese heavy truck market. In 2008, it produced 105,600 heavy trucks, with a year-on-year increase of 6.06%; it sold 111,400 heavy trucks, up 6.2%. From January to July of 2009, it produced 74,800 and sold 77,500. The layout of the China heavy truck market is relatively balanced. The sales volume of Hebei and Shandong is 5,000 to 10,000, much more than that of other provinces and cities. China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. is the first enterprise to adopt EGR technology, so the heavy trunks made by it are qualified for the National Emission Standard III with reasonable performance-price ratio, and the trucks sold well. In 2009, its market shares will be further expanded.
