Kamaz is also a very good brand with many international awards. Hopefully Kamaz and other local and Chinese brands will be taking market share from outgoing western brands.

      Construction equipment and heavy vehicles at discount prizes are a convenient and cheap way for the chinese to get a chokehold on a country´s ability to execute infrastructure projects and keep goods moving. The difference is that the european manufacturers compete at market conditions while the chinese brands are all connected to the state and are obliged to execute the state´s policy if needed.

      If China were to open up to the global market in the same way as the rest of the world does for Chinese imports, there would be no restrictions. Companies that want to sell to China or produce there are being so harassed and restricted by the government and forced to cooperate with Chinese companies that competition on an equal footing is not possible. Not to mention the theft of intellectual property and the production of plagiarised Western products. And the Chinese government even shamelessly encourages this. There are really good Chinese products, but cars are not among them. Not to mention the catastrophically bad design. And then you wonder why imports are being restricted. Better inform yourself in future before you spout such nonsense.

    So the reason why one sees Sprinter as FOTON and Isuzu D Max as FOTON is both complicated and exciting.
    Here in Asia, a FOTON sees everything, which is usually delivered White Cummins Asia…

    The Chinese trucks are now taking over or have already taken over the trucking market in East & Central Africa. First, they are more affordable pricewise i.e 40 to 45% of the European trucks (Around $50k per unit compared to $120k). Secondly, they are improving the quality continuously and currently they are economical to run and spares cheaper to buy and much more improved quality wise. A new truck can last 4-5 years before requiring any major maintenance. This is enough for the truck to pay it's capital outlay several times. Engine overhaul costs only $1000 or less. They are manual with Injector pumps so easy to repair. No Adblue / DEF systems headache....and so much more... Tailor made for Africa.

    All these Chinese trucks are now all over the world except North America. I think the quality is improving drastically.
    At first they produced very weak and poor quality trucks and people complained a lot. Now they are kind of heavy gauge metal hence too heavy which translate to less cargo weight so people still don't like them that much but looks like the next 10 years they'll figure out what people need and would be the most dominant trucks in the world.

      Очень интересно прийти на что-то подобное и увидеть интерес и количество людей. Большая разница с тем, что показывают западные СМИ.

      Если бы у вас была возможность посетить торговые выставки американских производителей, то вы бы поняли , что при путинистах российские производители стали не только " бедными", но " нищими" и " никому ненужными". Отверточная сборка китайских комплектов г0вн0деталей под шильдиком " Камаз"- это и есть вершина путинизма.

    Yutong and Foton is kinda popular in the Philippines, It's an alternative to Isuzu, Mitsubishi, especially with a limited budget
