About our Commercial Vehicles coverage

Commercial vehicle demand is derived demand. It follows freight tonnage, construction and mining activity, public transport budgets and the age of the fleet already on the road, so our commercial vehicle reports start from those drivers and from the installed base rather than from the previous year of sales.

We split every market by gross vehicle weight and by application, because a light distribution truck and a heavy mining tipper respond to different signals. Overload enforcement, emission standards, state procurement programmes and financing conditions are modelled as dated events, since they move purchases from one year to the next.

Electric trucks and buses are covered under Electric Vehicles and Charging, and bodies, trailers and upfitting under Truck Bodies and Upfitting. Commercial vehicle reports cover the chassis market and point to those pages for the adjacent value pools.

Who uses this research

Truck and bus manufacturers, distributors and assemblers, fleet operators and logistics companies, leasing and finance houses sizing credit exposure, and component and body suppliers.

Every report is delivered with the underlying data tables, a defined methodology note and analyst access, so the assumptions can be interrogated rather than accepted. If the exact scope you need is not published here, we build commissioned studies on the same framework.
