Chart 2: Suzhou Higer Sales Growth Chart of Different Lengths in the first 11 Months of 2011
We can see from the above that:
(1) Sales of Higer buses in the first 11 months of 2011 increase 13.3%, 0.2% less than industrial average, while sales of super large buses increase 213.6% and industrial average is 95.8%. Sales of 11-12 meters buses increase 31.5%, 18% more than industrial average; increase of 10-11 meters is 6% less than industrial average; increase of 9-10 meters is 11.4% more than industrial average, which means the increase of Higer is reasonable. However, sales of 7-9 meters decrease, which used to be advantage of Higer.
(2) Sales of super large buses reach 207 units, increasing 141 units over last year, which is the main reason for the growth of Higer bus sales.
