Here is the exclusive interview from English.Chinabuses.com. Journalist: Good morning, Ms.Sorfia and Mr.Martial Benoot, firstly,  thank you for taking part in our interview, what’s the main purpose that BAAV organized this  Exhibition?
 Sorfia: China  bus and coach are becoming better and better. We has organized this 2008 BAAV Busworld  Asia to help China  bus and Coach manufacturers to have more cooperations with overseas market.
 
 Journalist: Nowadays,  to establish cooperation between China bus & Coach manufacturers  and overseas enterprises are very common, like CKD. how do you think about this  cooperation?
 Sorfia: The  biggest problem is the after-sales, there has no problem to bring bus and coach  to Europe and sell them at there, but for these customers, they have to rebuild  their buses, so I think China  bus and coach manufacturers have to establish and optimize their after-sales  network in overseas market.
 Journalist: How  do you get information about China  bus&coach industry? Through internet or the publication?
 Sorfia: Through  internet, for instance, your website English.chinabuses.com. We also get the  information from the publication organized by some China bus experts. Moreover, we  even organized the BAAV Exhibition, at the beginning, there are only a few of  main China bus builders take part in this exhibition, but now even some small  companies has participated in this exhibition, because they know the exhibition  is good.
 
 Journalist: As a  technical Advisor, Mr. Martial Benoot, in your opinion, what do you think China bus &  coach manufacturers should do to accelerate their export to overseas market?
 Martial Benoot: I  think that first is the bus quality, China can not sell bus products as  cheap as possible. Secondly, change our mind and bring something new to the  overseas market, China  bus manufacturers ought to produce authentic and original bus product to  overseas market. Thirdly, pay attention to the environment protection. Overseas  market are laying more emphasis on environment protection.
 Journalist: Thank you very much. Hope this BAAV  exhibition an successful exhibition!Martial Benoot:: Thank you very much.
