PSR Analysis. Chinese truck makers are expanding beyond light urban delivery trucks into heavier and more specialized applications. To gain market share, they will need to earn fleet operators’ trust in the trucks themselves and, above all, in the reliability of aftersales service and the availability of spare parts.
PSR expects these brands to gain share gradually, following a pattern similar to DAF’s expansion in Brazil over the years, though on a different scale given differences in technology and investment. PSR’s sales and production forecasts already reflect this gradual growth.PSR
