You want to buy a truck? Please wait for your turn

“Our team wants to buy a truck, but we are arranged to get the truck a month later, it is urgent for our team, so can you help us to get the truck earlier?” a friend called us recently for help. We are surprised.

Do we need to take turns to buy truck? Our journalists visited many 4S stations to get a reasonable answer. We knew that comparing with the same time of last year, the sale of transportation use vehicles increased by 30% and the sale of machine vehicles increased by 20% and the sale of truck increased by nearly 15%. Some buyers have to wait for 2 months to get the truck. This phenomenon was rare before, but in this year, the phenomenon is getting hotter. How can it be so hot? Our journalists interviewed some professionals.

Reason one plenty of purchases
The whole year’s work depends on a good start in spring. This is not only suitable for privates but also for enterprises, especially in Northeast China. Liu Zhihui, the minister of general administrate department of FAW, said so many companies prefer to choose this time to come into transportation industry and also buy several new vehicles. Usually, spring time is the time to sell trucks hot, but this year is really unusual. This is the best year that truck is sold best. Some kinds of vehicles have to be ordered long before the plan to avoid delaying the construction progress.

Reason two new products appear
Liu Zhihui said that as the number of vehicle makers is increasing, the competition is increasing, too. So to enlarge the market, the ways for sales promotion have to be various. At the time, the truck makers know that the requirement grows fast, so the new products appear on market in spring time. To make the sale balance of old and new products, many truck makers do some kinds of promotions.

Reason three outskirts and villages are the new field for transportation
The customers from outskirts and villages have stronger purchasing power. Some of them buy several at one time. Liu said there was no buyer from village before. When they need to transport goods for business, they can buy mini truck. But the situation in this year is completely different from before. Some village buyers want to buy trucks for enlarging their business.

Reason four a large number of transportation use vehicles have to be replaced
The vice manager of a automobile company Xu Xiaowei said the cycle of transportation use vehicle is usually 3-4 years. And now, there are loads of such vehicles have been out of the cycle time. Moreover, much more large-scale constructions are needed in our country.
