First, facing terrible impact of the epidemic, the government takes infrastructure as a measure to boost the economy. No matter traditional infrastructure or new infrastructure, trucks are absolutely required; At the same time, logistics develops very fast and requires heavy trucks for transportation; Also, there is an important aspect, old vehicles' updates are in high demand, and there are one million old diesel vehicles will be eliminated in key regions this year.
