Sany Group moves into heavy truck production

Changsha-based manufacturer investing billions in construction

Sany Group Co Ltd, China's leading machinery equipment maker, will invest billions of yuan in the construction of five heavy truck production bases by 2019, and will road test autonomous trucks this year, executives said.

The company's massive expansion plan, which could see its annual output rise almost twentyfold, is underpinned by solid demand from the domestic market.
