Chart 2: Suzhou Sales Growth Chart of Different Lengths in Q1 of 2012
We can see from the above that:
(1) Overall sales of Suzhou Higer in Q1 increase 0.17%, 10% less than industrial average, which means sales of Higer buses halt in Q1.
(2) Sales of super large buses are 26 units, one unit less than 2011. Sales of 11-12 meters and 10-11 meters increase more than industrial average while sales of below-10-meter decrease (except 5-6 meters), which means growth structure of Higer is rational.
