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.
