The outlook for global truck production in the class 4-8 looks very promising for 2018 as it continues a strong growth pattern established in 2017. Even previously struggling countries such as Russia, Brazil and Turkey saw very positive signs in 2017 and are looking for continued growth this year. North America and Europe also are expected to have a good year in 2018.
SUMMARY: North American Gen-set sales continued with strong growth in the lower kW ranges in Q4 2017 with overall unit sales up 12.9% over Q3 2017. The gains were driven by ongoing demand caused by severe hurricanes, as well as optimism about the economy.
St. Paul, MN (October 12, 2017)— The Power Systems Research global Truck Production Index (PSR-TPI) deceased from 116 to 105, or -9.5%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, from Q2 2017. However, the year-over-year (Q3 2016 to Q3 2017) gain for the PSR-TPI was 101 to 105, or 3.9%.
Overall, the global commercial truck industry is stronger than it has been in a number of years and is expected to continue to be strong moving into 2018. While there are still concerns about regional economies such as South America and Greater China, the global economies continue to improve.
ST. PAUL, MN (JULY 14, 2017)—The Power Systems Research Truck Production Index (PSR-TPI) increased from 100 to 114, or 14%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, from Q1 2017. The year-over-year (Q2 2016 to Q2 2017) gain for the PSR-TPI was, 111 to 114, or 2.7%.
SUMMARY: Gen-set sales climbed 5% over Q1 2018 levels in anticipation of the camping season and end of fiscal year for many government and industrial consumers. While fewer dealers commented on specific-storm related residential demand this quarter, the 5% growth this quarter does seem to indicate that last year’s hurricanes may have raised the gen-set market up to a new normal, especially when compared to the 1.8% growth reported in Q2 of 2017.
