The global leader in semi-trailers and truck bodies. The Company's main business is semi-trailer and truck body manufacturing,and is the global leader in the business. In 2020, its semi-trailer sales reached131k units, ranking first in the world for eight consecutive years. Thepenetration rate of specialized transport vehicles such as refrigeratedsemi-trailers and van semi-trailers are expected to increase. Under theinfluence of policies such as GB7258 （Technical specifications for safety ofpower-driven vehicles operating on roads） and stricter overload rectification,the industry's competitive landscape is expected to be significantly optimized. As the industry leader, the Company will likely further increase its product unitprice and market share. Scale, technology and industry layout build the core competitiveness. In terms of scale, the Company is the world's largest semi-trailermanufacturer, backed by CIMC Group for centralized procurement, and thescale effect is significant. The advanced "lighthouse factory" can significantlyimprove product quality and reduce production costs. Technically, theCompany has accumulated profound technological strength and participatedin the formulation of national standards. It can quickly adapt to therequirements of regulatory changes and industry technology upgrades. Interms of layout, the Company deeply binds key customers, and hasestablished a joint venture with Shaanxi Heavy Duty Automobile, adevelopment base with FAW, and the "Hongyan Ruijiang" brand jointly withSAIC Hongyan. The Company has successful global investment experienceand a wide range of overseas operations. It will likely replicate its successfulpath in the US in Europe and other regions. Recovery of overseas economy supports quick business recovery. As the US and the EU are gradually recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic,the Company's overseas business is expected to gradually recover. At thesame time, both the EU and the US have passed large-scale economicstimulus plans. The long-term budget of EU during 2021 and 2027 will reachEURO1.1trn. The US has passed a US$1.9trn economic stimulus plan, and furtherinfrastructure investment stimulus may follow. Large-scale economic stimulusis expected to significantly stimulate various production and consumerdemand, and drive the recovery of the European and American heavy-dutytruck and semi-trailer markets. It is expected that in 2021, the Company'sNorth American/European plants will gradually recover from the impact of thepandemic.
