The global truck industry is today in recovery mode across the key developed markets with OEMs predicting considerable growth limited in NAFTA and Europe by their ability and the ability of the supply base to bring capacity back on-stream. Meanwhile the developing markets of China and India continue to exercise the industry in terms of both growth and appropriate product development.
However, the industry that is emerging from the global financial crisis has changed and is beginning its response to a broad range of big challenges. Sales volumes began a slow recovery during 2010, which is gathering pace through 2011, but the headline figures mask several underlying trends, some of which are rooted in the increasing regulatory burden, and some of which result from reshaping the business and responding to the challenges of profitability in a volatile market, preparing for the growing competition from Indian and Chinese OEMs.
