China Zenix Confirms 2011 Revenue Guidance of Approximately RMB 4 Billion

ZHANGZHOU, China, Dec. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Zenix Auto International Limited (NYSE: ZX) ("Zenix Auto" or "the Company"), the largest commercial vehicle wheel manufacturer in China in both the aftermarket and OEM market by sale volume, today announced that management confirms revenue guidance of approximately RMB 4 billion for the 2011 year ending December 31st.

In January 2011, Zenix Auto introduced its patented "Bridge Arc" wheel, which is based on an architectural design borrowed from the legendary thousand-year-old stone bridge in Northern China. This new wheel design features heightened strength with substantially lighter weight, providing fuel savings for truck operators in a rising fuel environment.

Monthly unit sales have experienced vigorous growth from approximately 3,500 units in April 2011 to nearly 60,000 in October 2011 with a further increase to almost 63,400 units in November 2011.

Mr. Jianhui Lai, Chairman and CEO of China Zenix, commented, "We remain confident that we will achieve our 2011 revenue guidance due to the strong demand in the 2011 fourth quarter for our fuel-saving new bridge arc wheels, which continue to attract more truck operators."
