European Truck Sales Decline in 2025

New truck registrations in the EU (medium and heavy trucks over 3.5 tons) fell 6.2% year-on-year to 307,460 units, ACEA reports. Heavy trucks (16 tons and above) dropped 5.4%, while medium trucks (3.5–16 tons) fell 9.9%. Germany, France, and Spain all saw contractions, with Germany hardest hit. Analysts note that 2025 more closely resembled a normal replacement market after years of backlogs caused by the pandemic-related supply shock.
