Sales of new trucks more than doubled in April

According to the results of April 2023, 11.8 thousand new trucks were sold in Russia, experts of AUTOSTAT agency reported with reference to the data of JSC "PPK"*. This is 5% higher than in March, and 2.2 times higher than in April 2022. Such a sharp increase is due to the low comparative base of the previous period.

Over half (56%) of all trucks sold last month were Chinese brands, that are 6.6 thousand units. Meanwhile, a year ago (in April 2022), their share was 18.4%.

Domestic brands own 34% of total, i.е. 4 thousand sold cars. A year ago, this figure was 59%.
Thus, the total share of Chinese and Russian trucks in April reached 90% of total sales, while other market participants accounted for only 10%.

Despite the leadership of “Chinese”, domestic KAMAZ still excels among the brands, the share of which in April was almost 26%. But the model rating is headed by Chinese truck SITRAK C7H with a share of 17.5%.
