In addition to its favorable existing warranty conditions, DICC has expanded its warranty period for five major components to three years or 6,000 hours of operation. And, through its efforts to integrate ICT into its construction equipment, DICC has also enabled its customers to access combined services providing GPS, Internet access, remote vehicle diagnostics and accident detection through their mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs.

In line with improvements in the Chinese market, DICC has shown signs of recovery in the sales of excavators during the first half of the year. In June, the company signed a contract for the supply of 82 excavators which will be used in China's 'One Belt, One Road' initiative in Pakistan in particular.
