The market of new trucks grew by 9% in January 2023

While the market decline continues in the passenger cars and LCV segments, the growth in trucks is observed, and for the third month in a row. This conclusion was made by the experts of the agency "AUTOSTAT", based on the data of JSC "PPK"*. So, according to the results of January 2023, 6,831 new trucks were purchased in our country, which is 8.6% higher than a year ago. Despite the fact that more than half (52%) of the new truck market in the first month of the year belonged to the "Chinese", the domestic brand KAMAZ keeps leadership in the brand rating.

In January, its result was 1,765 units (-24.2% in compare with January 2022), which corresponds to a market share of 26%. At the same time, a year ago, this figure was equal to 37%. The second position was occupied by Chinese SITRAK, which was not in the Russian market a year ago yet. And now, with a result of 991 units, it managed immediately to take about 15% of the market. The third, fourth and fifth places are also occupied by representatives of the Chinese auto industry: Shacman/Shaanxi (961 units; growth by 5 times), FAW (586 units; growth by 8.4 times) and Howo (498 units; growth by 3 times). But among the models, the leadership in January was won by Chinese SITRAK C7H, which sold 991 units.

At the same time, it left far behind him our "KAMAZ", namely the models KAMAZ 65115 (496 units) and KAMAZ 43118 (488 units). The TOP-5 of the most popular new trucks in the Russian market in January also included Chinese FAW CF3310 (471 units) and Shacman/Shaanxi SX3258 (403 units).
