Truck demand bullish for commercial vehicle listed companies to benefit


Although trucks (trucks) are hit hard by the rise in raw material prices, due to their strong cost-shifting capabilities, the total production and sales volume of trucks still maintains rapid growth. Guotai Junan Securities Co., Ltd. released a research report a few days ago that demand for trucks remains bullish.

Truck growth is still fast

At present, the proportion of trucks in the total amount of automobiles is far lower than that of passenger vehicles. However, the difference between the characteristics of small vehicles and passenger vehicles is that they are high value-added as investment products, and they also show full momentum of full-scale sales.

Of course, like passenger cars, with the strengthening of macro-control and the continuous expansion of the base, the growth rate of trucks (including semitrailer tractors) will also slow down.

In 2008, along with the sustained and rapid development of the national economy, trucks as investment goods (including semi-trailer tractors) still maintained a good momentum of development, with a year-on-year growth of 19.19% and a slight decrease of 0.78 percentage points. The sales increased by 26.66% year-on-year, and the growth rate increased by 5.55 percentage points. The production-sales ratio was 100.22%, an increase of 5.91 percentage points year-on-year. Among them, heavy-duty trucks and chassis are the main driving forces driving the rapid development of the entire truck-car industry. In the first quarter of 2008, the sales growth of heavy-duty trucks (including chassis and semi-trailer tractors) reached 58.70%, although semi- The growth rate of tractors has dropped significantly, but it still maintains a rapid growth of 46.85%, and its heavy-duty cargo chassis constitutes the main force driving the growth of heavy-duty vehicles.

Double pressure can be slightly shifted

At present, the trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) are mainly faced with two major cost pressures: one is the cost pressure caused by the continuous rise in prices of raw materials such as steel, and the other is the cost pressure brought about by the implementation of State III emission standards.

The leading manufacturers in the industry can take the lead in price increase. For example, Foton Motor's full range of products will increase its price by 2,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan, digesting 80% of the cost pressure. Dongfeng Motor also made 2%~3% of its trucks. The rate of price increase to test the market's response.

Given that trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) are basically powered by diesel engines, diesel engines currently use the high-pressure common rail fuel injection system to meet the national III emission standards, and their price and engine displacement are not large. Linked, so for heavy vehicles with relatively high prices, their assessment/ability to bear is significantly stronger than that of light vehicles.

However, due to the current domestic fuel oil products, the relevant state departments may postpone the implementation of the relevant emission standards, and with the establishment of a fuel injection system company in Wuhan, such as Cummins Inc., will break Bosch's monopoly in this area and future competition. The increase is beneficial to vehicle manufacturers.
