     China is the largest market for heavy trucks in the world
       – ~7x the size of the U.S. market and ~4x the size of the European market
       – Demand for cargo-transporting vehicles/semi- and full-trailer trucks
       – Huge downstream demand, increasing domestic consumption

     Robust growth from 2009-2010 was followed by normalization of demand in 2011
      and 2012, stable growth expected as China’s economic development continues

                                                                                                                                          10
China’s Need for Access to Capital

 In China, individuals and small business owners
  have limited access to capital due to more
  stringent bank capital requirements and lack of
  defined credit rating systems
    – Only large corporates or well-connected, wealthy
      individuals are able to acquire loans from banks

    – Need for an alternative method of obtaining capital for
      average individual or small business to sustain their
      livelihoods and support their families
