Among them, advances and retreats between the first and second-tier brands, and the heavy selling of heavy-duty trucks with a carrying capacity of over 14 tons are most noticeable. Among them, Steyr series products represented by Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck, China National Heavy Duty Truck, Beiqi Foton, Chongqing Hongyan, etc. accounted for nearly 50% of the market share in 2006.
