China Export 267,805 Trucks in 2012

 
www.chinatrucks.com: Chinese vehicle exports rose 27.22 percent year-on-year to 964,667 units in January–November 2012, according to official data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), and are estimated to have surpassed 1 million units for the full year.

Truck export was the second largest export segment. In January-November 2011 a total of 239,652 trucks were exported from China, and the number rose to 267,805 in the same period of 2012. The data show that Chinese commercial vehicles are being sought in emerging markets where infrastructure projects are under way and where Chinese truck-makers can gain market share by offering products at cheaper prices than more established rivals.

Chinese vehicle exports are mainly going to undeveloped, emerging markets. These include Iran, Iraq, and Algeria as well as other countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe. Exports to Brazil saw a steep rise in 2011 but tariffs affected exports in 2012, with Chinese automakers now building production bases in the country to avoid high import costs.
