Why are all Chinese trucks blue?

zbeckabee

There are two truck factories in China. Truck factory number 1 makes green trucks, truck factory number 2 makes blue trucks. Truck factory number 2 is much bigger than truck factory number 1. http://home.sprintmail.com/~janerickson/JansChinaWebPage/03_H2Z/H2Z_BlueTruckCoal.html Apr 25 06, 6:06 PM

OR: Ninety-nine percent of all trucks in China are this same blue color. The other one percent is another variation of blue. It does cut down on how may colors of paint the paint companies need to produce. http://www.paulnoll.com/China/Commerce/trans-scrap-wood.html Apr 25 06, 6:08 PM

Reminds me of Ford saying you could have your car in any color you wanted--as long as it was black. Apr 25 06, 9:54 PM

They could have adopted that idea from Hongkong. In HK there is a color-coding scheme. e.g. you can only ride a red-painted taxi's when your destination is HK Island. Green and blue-painted taxi's has also different destinations. Apr 29 06, 3:03 AM

That may be an odd or dull idea for some people, but sorting-out vehicles on the road has some good advantages, isnt it? Apr 29 06, 3:04 AM

Why must trucks be weighed at weigh stations along the highway, what is the point? Why is the ocean blue? Why is the sky blue? Why are the Blue Lakes at Mount Gambier blue?
