We here at Baltimore Freightliner-Western Star never grow tired of the seemingly endless stream of good news about the trucking industry. And lucky for us- yet again, commercial truck sales have shown themselves to be not only holding strong but increasing, according to a recent article published in Transport Topics. Read on to find out more about what’s happened now and what it means for commercial truck dealers nationwide!
Class 8 Truck Sales Continue to Climb in Beginning of 2015
The latest report of Class 8 truck sales shows that in the month of March, total truck sales increased by 25 percent compared to March of last year. An incredible 20,625 Class 8 trucks were sold during this time period. The high demand bodes well for commercial truck dealers; it shows that the industry is leaving behind years of economic recession and coming back better and stronger than ever.
Top brand such as Daimler Trucks North America’s Freightliner were a part of the Class 8 truck sales surge in March. Over 6,700 Freightliners were sold, constituting a jump of 28 percent from the previous year. Western Star, another DTNA subsidiary, saw their total commercial truck sales double compared to last year’s figures.
Growth Sectors in the Commercial Truck Industry
Growth across the board has been impressive for the trucking industry: sectors such as bulk commodities and vocational operations have all been beneficial. This has been attributing to the vast improvements made to truck fuel efficiency and design innovations.
