New truck sales grew by 3% in February 2023

In the segment of new trucks in the Russian market, experts noted the growth for the fourth month in a row. So, in February 2023, 8,625 new trucks were sold in our country, which is 3% higher than a year ago. This conclusion was made by the experts of "AUTOSTAT" agency, based on the data of JSC "PPK"*. Despite the fact that Chinese trucks have already occupied more than a half of the market of new trucks, the domestic brand KAMAZ keeps the leadership in the brand rating. In February, its result was 2,020 units (-37.9% in compare with February 2022), which corresponds to a market share of 23.4%.

At the same time, a year ago, this figure was equal to 38.9%. The second position was occupied by Chinese SITRAK, which was not in the Russian market a year ago. And now, with a result of 1,476 units, it immediately managed to occupy more than 17% of the market. The third, fourth and fifth places are also taken by representatives of the Chinese auto industry: Shacman/Shaanxi (1,180 units; 4.2 times growth), FAW (802 units; 9.5 times growth) and Howo (565 units; growth by 2.5 times). But among the models, the leadership in February was won by Chinese SITRAK C7H, which was sold in the amount of 1,476 units. It left his closest competitors far behind him.
