Table 4: Suzhou Higer Seat Bus Sales Growth Table of Different Lengths in January of 2012
We can see from the above that:
(1) Overall sales of Higer seat buses decrease 5.75%, 26% less than industrial average and 7% more than the whole bus market, which means the decrease of Higer is not mainly caused by seat buses.
(2) Sales of 11-12 meters seat buses increase 9.5%, much more than industrial average. Sales of 10-11 meters decrease 18.5%, less than industrial average while sales of 9-10 meters decrease more than industrial average, which means Higer is strengthening the status in large seat buses.
(3) Sales of over-12-meter and 5-6 meters are positive growth, while sales of super large seat buses increase much less than industrial average.
