Michael Bnning, sales and marketing director of BLG Automobile Logistics, HSO's Brilliance business transportation partner, is convinced that there will also be a niche in the upper class market for Chinese automakers: "We believe in Brilliance and in their future plans of selling cars in Europe." He added that his company and HSO are willing to further collaborate with Chinese automakers to improve the performance in future European crash tests.

The European car market is dominated by Volkswagen (Volkswagen, Audi), with a 2008 market share of 18.8 percent and sales of around 3 million units. PSA (Citroen, Peugeot) from France and US automaker Ford (Ford, Volvo) achieved market shares of 13.5 percent and 10 percent respectively.
