After encountering the "winter" of 2012, what do truck companies think about the 2013 heavy truck market? With the recent closing of corporate business conferences in a row, the answer has gradually emerged.
Recently, the reporter sorted out the market pre-judgment of eight major truck companies and found that the company's judgment on the situation of trucks in 2013, especially the heavy-duty truck industry, has been divided. Among them, six companies are optimistic about the truck market in 2013 and believe that the heavy truck market in 2013 will be about 640-700,000 vehicles, an increase of about 5%-10% year-on-year; one company is bearish and believes that the market for medium- and heavy-duty trucks in 2013 will decline slightly year-on-year. The scale remained at the level of 900,000 vehicles. One company was flat. It believes that the total demand for medium and heavy trucks in 2013 was about 930,000, which was basically the same as in 2012.
Concerns: The market for medium- and heavy-duty trucks has dropped slightly year-on-year. The scale is about 900,000 vehicles.

In 2013 and in the near future, the domestic medium- and heavy-duty truck market will enter a period of slight growth. This is a conclusion that Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles has reviewed the economic situation at home and abroad and the development of the industry. Huang Gang, general manager of the company, believes that in 2013 the world economy will continue to exhibit a “weak growth†situation. The Chinese economy will face transformation and structural adjustment. It will continue, coordinate, and develop healthily, and the growth rate will slow down. It is estimated that GDP growth will be around 8.0% in 2013. Consumption stabilized and the increase in heavy chemical products continued to decline. Affected by the macroeconomic environment, the market for medium and heavy trucks in 2013 will decline slightly year-on-year, and will remain at the scale of 900,000 vehicles throughout the year.
Despite cautious judgments on market development, the goal Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle proposed to itself in 2013 was “a flattering trend.†While reducing the market environment, Libao’s sales and market share in heavy-duty trucks is not lower than that in 2012, which is not low. In the 180,000 and 20%, continue to maintain the industry first.
He said that the implementation of the National IV emission regulations will be the biggest challenge for the entire industry in 2013. Due to the technical difficulties, implementation conditions, vehicle cost and other factors, and the superfluous influence of overcapacity brought by State IV, the demand for 40,000 vehicles will be curbed, which in turn will result in greater uncertainties in the medium to heavy truck market in 2013.
According to Huang Gang's analysis, from the perspective of the industry as a whole, the total demand of the industry will further decline in the future, and the operational efficiency of vehicles will become higher and higher. The transportation industry will begin to develop in an intensive, efficient, intelligent and professional manner; The more perfect and more stringent the implementation, the more important the technical force will be in the dominant position and role in the future competition; the market demand will be mainly changed from new to newer, and customers will be more mature and rational; the Chinese market will be internationalized and international The market competition tends to be China's competitive landscape and has begun to have a profound impact on the commercial vehicle industry.
Ping Ping: The demand for medium- and heavy-duty trucks is about 930,000. It is basically the same as last year.
Representative Enterprise: FAW Liberation
Zhang Bing, general manager of FAW Jiefang Automobile Sales Co., Ltd., judged that the growth rate of China's GDP in 2013 was about 7.8%, and the probability of a sustained downturn in the macro economy was relatively small, and it will show a gradual warming trend, which is still in the midst of a trough. The heavy truck market is undoubtedly a good news. Zhang Bing said that in 2013, the total demand for medium and heavy trucks was about 930,000, which was basically the same as in 2012. The market demand structure for traction, dumping, cargo loading, and special use will remain basically stable, and market demand will continue to be sustained. Increased, high-speed and high-efficiency trends.
Despite seeing the 2013 market, FAW Jiefang still targeted the sales of medium-duty trucks this year at 169,000 units, an increase of 11.9% year-on-year, with a market share of 17.5%; the sales target for light trucks is 10,000 units, striving to achieve expansion in the mid- to high-end light truck market. .
Optimistic: Heavy truck market scale 640,000-700,000 increase 5%-10%

The development of the medium and heavy truck industry is closely linked with the macroeconomic situation. Six heavyweights such as China National Heavy Duty Truck Group are optimistic about the truck market this year, mainly based on the judgment of the macroeconomic environment at home and abroad.
China National Heavy Duty Truck executives believe that this year is still the transition period of the national economic situation from guaranteed growth to stable growth. In particular, various initiatives since the 18th National Congress convened have shown that this year's economic work will focus on improving the quality and efficiency of economic growth. Maintain the continuity of macroeconomic policies. Therefore, 2013 will be a year in which the economic growth will moderately rebound. The central government will launch a number of favorable policies to promote the economic development of the entity. This will, to some extent, stimulate the growth of commercial vehicles, especially the truck market.
In this regard, Shaanxi Automobile Group and Jianghuai Heavy Trucks hold the same view. At the same time, Zhou Yinchao, general manager of Shaanxi Automobile Sales Company, believes that the demand for fixed asset investment, real estate investment and social consumer goods will increase slightly this year; in steel, coal, cement and other related industries, the growth rate will decline, and it is still in a downturn; In terms of policies and regulations, the relevant policies on rejection, suspension, cold chain transportation, oil price, and new energy will have a certain impact on market sales and structure.
According to Xiong Weiming, general manager of Iveco Hongyan, it is expected that the growth rate of infrastructure investment and real estate investment will reach 15% in 2013, which will increase the demand for steel, cement, and coal to other industrial products, improve the transportation environment, and promote the renewal of used cars. At the same time, the economic situation of the international advanced economies in 2013 will improve. China's import and export will resume slightly, which will in turn lead to a recovery in port transportation and foreign trade cargo throughput.
Based on the above factors, each of these companies individually predicted the 2013 truck market. Cai Dong, president of China National Heavy Duty Truck, judged that the heavy truck market will increase by 8-10% in 2013. Zhou Yinchao predicts that the growth rate of the domestic heavy truck market will remain at about 9.4% this year, with sales of about 710,000 vehicles. Xiong Weiming believes that the heavy-duty truck market will show moderate growth in 2013, and it is expected to have a scale of 700,000 vehicles, an increase of about 10% over the same period last year. Jiang Xinghuai general manager Xiang Xingchu believes that the heavy truck market in 2013 will have a certain recovery, an increase of 5% -10%. Liu Bo, chairman of the joint truck marketing service company, said that in 2013, the heavy truck market is expected to increase by 5% to 640,000 vehicles. Foton Motor believes that there will be a higher increase in the commercial vehicle market in 2013, and the heavy truck market will also become warmer, resulting in a substantial increase in sales volume.
On the basis of making predictions for this year's economy, companies have also set specific requirements for 2013 sales targets. Among them, China National Heavy Duty Truck's existing series of products will be together with the newly released Mane Platform models, and jointly promote the growth target of sales growth of not less than 10% in 2013 and one percentage point increase in the market share of heavy trucks. Shaanxi Automobile's civilian heavy truck sales target in 2013 is 85,000 vehicles. For this reason, Shaanxi Auto will continue to accelerate the upgrading of heavy truck products. It will upgrade the DeLong F3000 and mine dump trucks, and the new DeLong M3000 and the new Oron. It will also be listed in 2013. SAIC Iveco Hongyan has to strive to sell 30,000 cars, an increase of 76% year-on-year, and continues to increase its market share, especially the market share of road vehicles. Jianghuai Heavy Duty Trucks will strive to achieve the sales target of 30,000 vehicles. Lightweight heavy trucks, LNG heavy trucks, and China IV heavy trucks will be its market priorities. The joint truck sales target for 2013 is 8,000 vehicles, of which 2500 LNG heavy trucks and 5500 diesel heavy trucks. Futian Auman's 2013 sales target of 120,000 units, with a market share of 16.9%, strives to leap to the third place in the market.
Judgment is the final judgment, everything is tested by the market. To this end, experts suggest that in the uncertain situation of the heavy-duty truck market, it is hard truth for companies to do a good job of their products. The most important thing is to do everything in the same way, change the product structure, accelerate the transformation and upgrading, and compete with the products. Strengthen the company's core competitiveness.

National IV emission standards will be implemented on July 1
The policies and regulations that have the greatest impact on the truck industry in 2013 are the IV emission standards for vehicle compression ignition engines and vehicles that will be implemented on July 1.
In fact, most truck companies are able to meet standards, and higher standards are good for companies that regulate operations and can eliminate small vendors or low-end products.

Emission standards upgrades will bring about the first increase in costs. With the addition of a tail gas aftertreatment system, the cost of car purchases will increase, which will have a negative impact on the new car market.
