Mature, "high quality and excellent price" products will be more users recognized.
The object of all policies and regulations will be the industry average or the lowest level. For Iveco, at the beginning, the price of State III is higher than that of State II by 28,000 yuan. With the increase in the localization rate, the gap has narrowed to 8,000 to 10,000 yuan; in addition, if Beijing and other places Taking the lead in piloting some policies and regulations means that we must import a small number of engines for this special local market.

It is expected that Yuejin will enter the global sales network of Italy Iveco in the next two to three years.
