CHINA Travel International Investment Hongkong Limited (CTII) has purchased 10 container tractors worth about $4.5 million to further enhance its road-freight service between Hongkong and China.
To be delivered later this month, the new additions will increase the company's fleet to 42.
CTII also owns 48 heavy-duty lorries to handle its daily import, export, loading and local delivery operations.
Mr Shen Zhu-ying, managing director of CTII, said the purchases were prompted by the rapid economic development in the Pearl River delta and the consistent growth in demand for cross-border freight services.
''With the fast-growing China economy, cargo transportation between Hongkong and the mainland is expected to reach a new highs. CTII will continue to enhance its road transportation team in the future to ensure that the customers get the best of our service,'' Mr Shen said.
Mr Clement Hui, managing director of Triangle Motors Limited, Hongkong agent of Isuzu commercial vehicles, said: ''Isuzu vehicles have been well known in Hongkong and China for their impressive performance, outstanding fuel efficiency and durability.'' CTII also provides rail, sea and air freight services. The company wholly owns China Travel Service (Cargo) Hongkong, which in turn holds 96.2 per cent of Wing Dah Hong.
