Driven by the value of applicability, reliability and efficiency, Changan Bus has shifted more of its focus on the practical needs of customers. In order to get a deeper understanding of the market, LIU Zhongling has led a team conducting extensive market research across China. They found that customers have become increasingly cost conscious after the new emission stand went into effect. Bearing this in mind, Changan Bus has been actively involved in popularizing its CNG buses, the sales volume of which has now accounted for 30% of its total sales volume, up from the previous 10%. The good performance of its CNG buses has thus greatly boosted its total sales volume. In the meantime, thanks to customers’ growing appetite for city buses measuring between five to seven meters long, its products of this category further helped the company win a number of new orders.
To continue expanding its market share and enhance its profits, Changan Bus is now poised to move forward with newly gained confidence.
