BEIJING, June 8 (Xinhua) -- China's heavy truck sales reported a decline last month, according to data from an auto industry information service provider.
Some 109,000 heavy-duty trucks were sold in May in China, down 4 percent from a year ago, said a report from cvworld.cn.
Analysis from cvworld.cn said the heavy truck market has not witnessed a sharp downturn yet as the natural gas-fueled truck sector remains robust.
FAW Jiefang Automotive Co., a truck subsidiary of FAW Group headquartered in Changchun, continued to take the lead in sales for four consecutive years with double-digit growth by selling nearly 30,000 units last month.
China's heavy truck sales hit a new record by selling 144,000 units in March before posting a 3-percent dip in April.
