Special vehicle market has great potential


On December 30, 2005, the troops stationed in Hong Kong and Nanjing Iveco held a grand handover ceremony in Shenzhen Base. Iveco Turin V formally “arrested in Hong Kong” after receiving inspections by Hong Kong troops. At the end of the year, Nanjing Iveco exerted a lot of attention and caused industry insiders to pay more attention to the special car market.

In recent years, as the traditional light passenger market, such as short-distance passenger transportation and commuting reception, has become increasingly saturated, the special-purpose vehicle market has been increasingly favored. Experts predict that within a decade, China's special-purpose vehicle market still has great potential to be tapped.


In the face of such tantalizing prospects, all light car manufacturers want to share a share. Industry analysts believe that whether it is Brilliance Jinbei, Jiangling Transit, Southeast Delica or Nanjing Iveco, high quality will become an important factor in determining the pattern of the special car market.

Special-purpose vehicles, as the name suggests, are vehicles that are tailored to meet specific needs in the field. Because there are different specific needs in each area, the overall quality and individualization and differentiation of the light passenger vehicles are increasingly demanding.

The individual requirements for special vehicles for each system are also not the same, so the overall strength of the major light manufacturers is a great test. According to a health department official responsible for procurement of special vehicles, the annual procurement of medical vehicles, including family planning vehicles, mine ambulances, epidemic prevention vehicles, and health supervision vehicles, are all poor areas, and the road facilities are relatively poor. In particular, mountainous areas and cold regions, so the requirements for automotive performance is first.

Industry experts believe that with the intensification of specialized market segmentation, several light passenger brands will surely launch more intense competition in the special-purpose vehicle market. With the new generation of light passenger pilot Iveco as the representative of the high-quality models of special vehicles, will gradually become the new darling on the light car stage.
