The Lifanhongda Group, a non-public motorcycle maker, has set up assembling factories in Viet Nam, South Africa and Iran and opened a trade representative's office in Nigeria. "We strive to become a transnational group with an annual export of 500,000 to one million motorcycles," said Yin Mingshan, general manager of the group.
