China National Heavy-Duty Truck Group Co, the nation's largest heavy truck exporter, is striving to expand its business into overseas high-end markets and make itself a top player in the sector worldwide.

"After exploring overseas markets for over ten years, we have made sound progress in developing countries and now are trying to tap into the high-end markets in developed countries and regions such as Ireland, New Zealand and Singapore," said Cai Dong, general manager of the Shandong-based company, also known as Sinotruk.

"If we are to become a global commercial automobile giant we need to venture into developed countries and make highend vehicles," Cai told China Daily.
