To achieve the objective, Yuchai perfected the corporate governance structure, straightened out property relations and the parent-subsidiary management system, established the groups role as the parent company, managed subsidiaries through the mixed control mode combining strategic control and financial control?, focused on strengthening primary industry clusters, progressively shut down the small subsidiaries less relevant to the primary business, merged the highly relevant fine core parts enterprises, established the system of full-time chairman and financial assignment for subsidiaries, gave technical, financial, management and market support, and strived to shore up subsidiaries.
Over the five years, Yuchais six industrial sectors have forged ahead in parallel. Apart from special vehicle, all the other sectors achieved sales of RMB 2 billion in the first ten months of this year, and engine maintained its advantage and key role in the group by growing fast by over 30% for five years in a row. Yuchais another primary sector-construction machinery grew fourfold in five years, accomplished brand diversification, introduced more than 150 varieties of over 40 series, extended in the direction of medium & large-sized excavators and rotary drilling rigs, and occupied a place in the Chinese construction machinery market.
