Cai Dong, president of CNHTC, drove the 120,000th truck the company manufactured this year off the production line. He said the truck marked a 11.2 percent year-on-year output growth, which was a remarkable achievement, considering the world economic downturn.

CNHTC's output "is second only to Germany auto maker Mercedes-Benz in world heavy truck industry," said Ni Guixiang, head of the company's publicity department, at the company's headquarters in Ji'nan City, capital of eastern Shandong province.
