"Continued weakness in freight economy has led to a significant pull-back in China's heavy-duty truck production," said Kenny Vieth, president and senior analyst at ACT. "However, growing discretionary income amongst Chinese is allowing for more travel. This has led to continued strong demand for buses." He added that growth in bus demand will be insufficient to offset the weakness in other segments of the transportation industry, however.
