HONG KONG, June 28 (Reuters) - China's largest minibus maker, Brilliance China , said on Friday that second quarter sales were about the same as the same period last year but much better than the first quarter of 2002.
Chairman Wu Xiaoan told reporters at the company's annual general meeting in Hong Kong that "second quarter sales were very good and year on year are about the same, and much better than Q1."
He said sales in the second quarter were up about 30 percent from the first quarter.
He did not provide exact figures but DBS Vickers Securities has estimated first quarter minibus sales fell 28 percent on year to 11,000 vehicles because of the "weak market and intensified competition".
