April domestic heavy truck market

In April, the heavy-duty truck market rebounded and sales increased significantly.

Although the heavy truck market was picking up in April, the main reasons for this are related to the early release of the consumption of the National IV standard. However, as the scheduled implementation time of July 1 is approaching, the specific implementation rules related to the National IV standard are late. Lately, and the market is still spreading rumors that the implementation time of National IV emission standards will be postponed again, this “warming up” may not be solid. At the same time, apart from the “early release of consumption” factors before the implementation of the National IV emission standards, China’s macroeconomic environment has not shown any obvious positive effect. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the heavy truck market will actually “warm up”.
