Commercial vehicle sector: light truck business benefits from industry dividends. The governance of “large ton and small standard” is becoming stricter, and the elimination of illegal models promotes the new demand for light trucks. Since May 2019, the policy has frequently dealt with the violations of “large ton and small standard”, and the elimination of light trucks with excessive stock has released the demand for transportation capacity. We calculated the volume of light truck capacity released by the “large ton and small standard” governance, and comprehensively considered the right of way + transport capacity economy. We believe that the transport capacity released by illegal light trucks mainly flows to compliant light trucks, and the scale of the industry is expected to continue to rise. Jac’s commercial vehicle product layout is comprehensive, and the market share of light truck market remains at the forefront of the industry. The perfect light truck product system, rich product reserves and perfect product matrix will ensure that JAC can meet the replacement needs of all kinds of light trucks, so that the company can benefit from the development dividend of light truck industry.
