The Power Systems Research Truck Production Index (PSR-TPI ) dropped 42.5% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, declining from 186 to 107, from Q4 2020. The year-over-year (Q1 2020 to Q1 2021) improvement for the PSR-TPI was 15%, in which it climbed from 93 to 107.

While the decline in commercial vehicle demand in China will lower global vehicle demand this year, improved demand is expected in all other regions, according to the April issue of PowerTALK™ News. The PSR-TPI measures truck production globally and across six regions: North America, China, Europe, South America, Japan & Korea and Emerging Markets.
