Chinese Service

Off-Highway Research’s Chinese Service is a subscription service providing detailed insights into the national equipment market and the major equipment manufacturers active in the country. An annual subscription unlocks access to the full library of more than 45 current Equipment Analyses and Company Profiles. Each report is updated on a regular cycle with up to 24 new documents added throughout the course of a year. It also includes monthly Market Reports containing news and analysis from the industry, with an archive going back to 2002. Full subscribers also have access to our free enquiry service.

Our standard single-site licence allows for up to five individual users based in one location. If you require further access rights, please enquire about our multi- and global-site licence packages.

As an alternative to the full Service, many clients chose to subscribe to just our monthly Market Reports. This is a cost-effective way of keeping up to date with news and developments, and the subscription also includes our spring Annual Review and summer Mid-Year Review of the market.
