“Class 8 industry retail truck sales in the U.S. and Canada were 212,000 units in 2013,” said Dan Sobic, Paccar executive vice president. “Truck demand is being driven primarily by the ongoing replacement of the aging truck population and improving housing and automotive sectors."

In 2013, Paccar had a Class 8 retail market share in the U.S. and Canada of 28%, he said.

“Estimates for U.S. and Canada Class 8 truck industry retail sales in 2014 are in the range of 210,000-240,000 units, driven by vehicle replacement and some expansion of industry fleet capacity, reflecting anticipated economic growth," Sobic said.
