We can see from the above that:
(1) Sales of Golden Dragon city buses in Jan.-August reach 1134 units, decreasing by 14.5% year-on-year, much higher than industrial average, which means the ebb of city bus sales impedes the whole growth.
(2) Sales of 8-9m, 9-10m and 11-12m increase, especially 9-10m. However, the growth couldn't save the market from recession.
(3) Sales of 11-12m city buses increase the most, by 152 units, over 20% more than industrial average. Recent two years has seen no sales of super large city buses.
