Sales of new and used trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons: dynamics and top models

Experts of the Institute of Car Market Research analyzed the statistics of vehicle registrations in Ukraine in November and identified the top models in three segments of trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons (except semi-trailer trucks): import of used cars, domestic resale and purchase of new cars, including those converted in Ukraine .

Truck market dynamics

In November 2022, Ukrainians purchased more than 1,600 trucks with a gross weight of more than 3.5 tons (excluding tractors). This is -42% less than in the same period last year and 1.4% more than in October 2022.

Most of the trucks in November were purchased on the domestic market: 84.5% (1.4 thousand units). 8% of used trucks were brought from abroad (only 132 units).

Even fewer new trucks were purchased: 122 units ( 7.4% of the total number). Of them, 45 were imported, and 77 were converted in Ukraine. This is the largest number of sales of such cars since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

The most popular trucks in the domestic market

Mercedes-Benz T1/T2 trucks (80 deals) remain the leader of domestic resales in November. These cars have not been produced since the mid-90s of the last century, but their chassis are still used as a platform for various superstructures and are actively used on the roads.

In second place, as last month, is the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (61 deals), which is also used as a platform for add-ons. The third place was taken by Mercedes-Benz Atego (60 transactions), and the fourth place by Iveco Daily and its modifications(49 agreements). KamAZ 5320 closes the top five (48 deals).
