China's 26% Volume Rebound Offset a Weak 2025 in the West and Sets Up a 4.35% Decade for Heavy-Duty Trucks
Radial Insights values the global heavy-duty trucks market at USD 192.60 Billion in 2025, rising to USD 200.98 Billion in 2026 and USD 294.84 Billion by 2035 at a 4.35% CAGR. Roughly 2.6 million new trucks above 16 tonnes changed hands worldwide in 2025, and the value pool moved sharply by region.
The year split the industry in two. China sold about 1.137 million heavy trucks in 2025, up 26% and a four-year high, while North American heavy-duty retail sales fell 15% to 257,968 units and the European Union registered about 254,488 trucks above 16 tonnes, down 5.4%. Daimler Truck sold 422,510 vehicles (down 8%), TRATON about 305,500 (down 9%) and Volvo Group delivered 202,911 trucks (down 8%). PACCAR still earned USD 2.38 billion on USD 28.44 billion of revenue, which shows how much pricing power the premium Class 8 makers retain in a down cycle.
Our scope covers new on-road and on/off-road trucks with a gross vehicle weight above 16 tonnes (Class 8 in the United States and N3 in Europe), including tractor units, rigid chassis, tippers and vocational trucks, valued at manufacturer selling price. We exclude medium-duty trucks of Class 4 to 7, buses and coaches, used-truck sales, bodies and trailers sold separately, and aftermarket parts and service revenue.
Fuel cell electric trucks are the fastest-growing propulsion segment at a 19.40% CAGR from a small base, followed by battery electric trucks at 15.80%. China alone sold 231,100 new energy heavy trucks in 2025, a 28.89% share, and crossed 50% penetration in December 2025.
Africa is the fastest-growing region at a 5.80% CAGR, while Asia Pacific (APAC) holds the largest share at 44.80% of 2025 value. North America and Europe grow slower, at 3.60% and 3.50%, but keep the highest value per unit because a Class 8 tractor sells for roughly three to four times the price of a typical Chinese heavy truck.

Diesel Leads Propulsion Today, While Fuel Cell and Battery Trucks Post the Steepest Curves
Diesel remains the leading propulsion type in 2025, but it grows at only 1.90% a year as China, Europe and California shift purchases. Battery electric trucks grow at 15.80% because Chinese buyers already took 231,100 new energy heavy trucks in 2025 and European fleets added 4,991 heavy battery trucks. Fuel cell electric trucks grow at 19.40% from a very small base, tied to hydrogen corridors in China and pilot fleets in Korea and Europe. Natural gas trucks grow at 5.40%, helped by Chinese LNG pricing and Iveco's gas range in Europe.
Tractor Trucks Lead Vehicle Type on Freight Tonnage
Tractor trucks are the leading vehicle type and grow at 4.60%, since long-haul and port drayage fleets run tractor and semi-trailer combinations. Vocational and specialty trucks grow at 4.40% on infrastructure spending, dump and tipper trucks at 4.20% with mining and construction cycles, and rigid trucks at 3.90% as some urban routes move to medium-duty and electric vans.
Trucks Above 40 Tonnes Gain as Payload Rules Loosen
The 26 to 40 tonnes band is the largest weight class, growing at 4.50%. Trucks above 40 tonnes grow faster at 4.80% because mining haul routes, Nordic and Australian high-capacity rules and Indian multi-axle tractors favor heavier combinations. The 16 to 25 tonnes band grows at 3.70%.
Regional Distribution Outpaces Long-Haul as Electric Trucks Fit Return-to-Base Duty Cycles
Long-haul freight is the leading application, growing at 4.10%. Regional distribution grows faster at 4.80% because return-to-base routes under 300 km suit current battery ranges. Construction and mining grows at 4.50%, and municipal and utility at 3.80%, tied to public budgets.
6x4 and 8x4 Layouts Grow Fastest in Emerging Markets
The 4x2 layout leads Europe and grows at 3.90%. The 6x4 layout leads China, North America and India and grows at 4.60%. Configurations of 8x4 and above grow at 4.70% with mining and concrete demand, and 6x2 grows at 4.30% as lift-axle tractors save fuel.

Market Dynamics
Market Trends
China Has Passed the Tipping Point for New Energy Heavy Trucks
New energy models took 28.89% of Chinese heavy truck sales in 2025 and 53.89% of the 84,000 units sold in December 2025, the first month above half. In June 2026, eleven Chinese government bodies set a target of 40% new energy penetration and more than 1.6 million new energy heavy trucks on the road by 2030, backed by around 3,000 charging and battery swapping stations. Chinese makers now export the same platforms, so this shift will spread to Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
Battery Electric Volume Rises Fast at Western Makers, From a Low Base
Daimler Truck sold 6,726 battery electric vehicles in 2025, up 67%. TRATON sold 3,230, up 86%, and Volvo delivered 4,006 electric trucks while taking 3,925 new orders. In May 2025 Mercedes-Benz Trucks widened its eActros 600 range for long-haul work. Tesla said on April 29, 2026 that the first Semi had come off its high-volume Nevada line.
Regulation Is Diverging Between the United States and Europe
The EPA finalized the rescission of its 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding on February 12, 2026, which removed the federal vehicle greenhouse gas standards for trucks. In Europe, the Council adopted flexibility for heavy-duty CO2 targets on March 30, 2026, but kept the 45% cut for 2030. Makers now plan two product roadmaps, one for each side of the Atlantic.
Trade Policy Is Reshaping Where Trucks Are Built
A 25% Section 232 tariff on imported medium and heavy trucks and parts took effect on November 1, 2025, with USMCA trucks paying only on non-US content. A parts offset worth 3.75% of the value of US-assembled trucks runs from 2025 to 2030. This favors makers with US plants and raises costs for imports from Mexico that use non-US parts.
Restraints and Challenges
The North American Freight Recession Cut 2025 Demand Hard
Daimler Truck's North American unit sales fell 26% to 141,814 in 2025, and International volumes at TRATON fell 30% to 63,700, as disclosed in the TRATON 2025 unit sales release. Low spot freight rates and high interest costs pushed fleets to delay replacement, which takes a full year or more to unwind.
Regulatory Uncertainty Blurs the 2027 Pre-Buy
The EPA kept the model year 2027 NOx rule in place in November 2025 but signaled major changes, with a revised proposal due in spring 2026. Fleets cannot judge how large a pre-buy to place, and makers cannot fix their 2027 engine pricing. This uncertainty adds swings to order books in 2026 and 2027.
Charging and Hydrogen Infrastructure Lags Truck Supply
Heavy battery trucks were only about 2% of EU registrations in 2025, even though most European makers offer them. Megawatt charging along freight corridors is still scarce, and hydrogen fuel costs remain far above diesel per kilometer. Without depots and corridor sites, fleets limit electric trucks to short regional routes.
Total Cost of Ownership Still Favors Diesel Outside China
A long-haul electric tractor in Europe or North America still costs about two to three times a diesel tractor, according to buyer interviews. Residual values for used electric trucks are unknown, which raises leasing costs. Western volumes depend on subsidies, road tolls and CO2 rules continuing.
Growth Drivers
China's Fleet Renewal and New Energy Push
China sold about 1.137 million heavy trucks in 2025, up 26%, helped by scrappage and trade-in subsidies for older China III and China IV diesel trucks. The 2030 target of 1.6 million new energy heavy trucks on the road implies annual new energy sales well above the 231,100 units of 2025. Chinese buyers such as port operators, steel mills and coal logistics firms pick battery swap trucks because electricity costs less per kilometer than diesel. Sinotruk, FAW Jiefang and Shaanxi Automobile also ship growing export volumes. We estimate this driver adds about +1.3% of annual growth to the global heavy-duty trucks market through 2035.
Freight Growth and Infrastructure Spending in India and Emerging Markets
India sold a record 1.08 million commercial vehicles in fiscal 2025-26, up 12.6%, per SIAM, and Tata Motors held 55% of the heavy commercial vehicle segment, its highest share in a decade. National highway programs, dedicated freight corridors and mining output in India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and sub-Saharan Africa need tippers and multi-axle tractors. Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors and Chinese exporters compete for these buyers. This demand lifts the CAGR by roughly 0.9 percentage points a year and explains why Africa and the Middle East outgrow mature regions.
Replacement Cycles and the Western Recovery
PACCAR expects US and Canada Class 8 retail sales of 230,000 to 270,000 trucks in 2026, against 233,000 in 2025, and Europe above 16 tonnes of 280,000 to 320,000, against 298,000. Volvo forecasts 305,000 in Europe and 265,000 in North America. Daimler Truck's 2025 order intake rose 2% to 425,458 units, a sign that the trough has passed. An aging North American fleet, the 2027 NOx rule and European CO2 targets will pull purchases forward over the next three years. We attribute close to +0.8% of yearly growth to this replacement recovery.
Opportunities
Electric and Hydrogen Trucks for Mines, Ports and Closed Sites
Closed sites with fixed routes and their own power supply are the easiest places to run zero-emission trucks. Mining groups and port terminals in Australia, Chile, the Gulf and China are testing battery and fuel cell haulers, and these buyers place repeat orders once a pilot proves itself.
Software, Uptime and Service Contracts
PACCAR reported record parts and financial services results in 2025 despite fewer truck deliveries. Connected trucks let makers sell uptime contracts, charging services and fleet software, which adds recurring revenue to each new truck sold.
Asia Pacific Holds 44.80% of Value, but Africa and the Middle East Grow Fastest
Asia Pacific (APAC)
Asia Pacific (APAC) holds a 44.80% share of the heavy-duty trucks market, worth USD 86.28 Billion in 2025, and reaches USD 139.22 Billion by 2035 at a 4.90% CAGR. China drives most of this value with about 1.137 million heavy trucks sold in 2025, and India adds a record 1.08 million commercial vehicles in fiscal 2025-26. Japan and Korea add premium volumes from Isuzu, Hino and Hyundai.
North America
North America accounts for 24.60% of 2025 value, or USD 47.38 Billion, and grows at 3.60% to USD 67.48 Billion by 2035. North American heavy-duty retail sales fell 15% to 257,968 trucks in 2025. Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, Mack and International dominate, and the 25% Section 232 tariff now shapes where North American trucks are built.
Europe
Europe represents 19.10% of the market, at USD 36.79 Billion in 2025, rising to USD 51.89 Billion by 2035 at a 3.50% CAGR. EU registrations of trucks above 16 tonnes fell 5.4% to about 254,488 in 2025, and heavy battery trucks reached about 2% of European Union sales. Europe keeps its 45% CO2 cut for 2030, which steers European demand toward electric models.
Latin America
Latin America takes a 5.20% share, worth USD 10.02 Billion in 2025, and grows at 4.70% to USD 15.85 Billion by 2035. Brazil's agribusiness and mining freight drive Latin American demand, served by Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen Truck and Bus, Scania and Volvo plants in Brazil, and Chinese brands are gaining in Chile and Peru.
Middle East
The Middle East holds a 3.70% share, or USD 7.13 Billion in 2025, and grows at 5.30% to USD 11.94 Billion by 2035. Saudi giga-projects, Gulf port expansion and logistics zones lift Middle East demand for 6x4 tractors and tippers, and Chinese makers have won share in the region with lower prices.
Africa
Africa is the smallest region at a 2.60% share, worth USD 5.01 Billion in 2025, but grows fastest at 5.80% to reach USD 8.80 Billion by 2035. Mining corridors in South Africa, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, plus port traffic in East Africa, support African orders, and Sinotruk and Shaanxi Automobile already lead many African markets.
