According to industry analysts, commercial vehicles have been the mainstay of the Chinese automobile industry for a long time in the past. In the domestic market, domestic brands of commercial vehicles firmly occupy the leading position; in the international market, domestic competitive products should also have a place, at present, China's commercial vehicles have opened up the market in the international market. Vigorously developing China's commercial vehicle exports can increase the popularity of Chinese automotive products, open up overseas financing channels, and foster international marketing channels, laying a solid foundation for the automotive industry to fully enter foreign countries.

In response to this phenomenon, some experts pointed out that commercial vehicle exports should quickly get rid of the low-end market, low-end vehicles, low prices, low profits, low-quality "five low" status, improve product quality and service quality, in order to open the door to the markets of developed countries .
