Heavy truck sales in the United States have experienced a significant decline, raising concerns among policymakers. This downturn, which began in 2023, marks the most severe drop in sales since data tracking started in 1979. Historically, such collapses in heavy truck sales have coincided with economic recessions.
The recent sales slump is notable and could indicate broader economic challenges ahead. Policymakers are urged to monitor this trend closely as it may have implications for various sectors reliant on heavy truck transportation.
