The 2017 edition of the report provides a Comprehensive & Insightful Comparative SWOT Framework Analysis and analyzes the Near to Medium Term Strategy Focus for the Top 4 OEMs in the North American Class 6-8 Truck Market amid a challenging & evolving market scenario with the North American truck market making its way out of a cool down phase while technological evolution is poised to transform market landscape altogether over medium term.

The North American truck market has been on the correction path with improving order intake, especially for Class 8 trucks, for the first half of 2017 driven by good freight volumes, spot rates & a favorable economic environment. This follows a lackluster 2016 which was marked by double digit demand contraction for heavy trucks with low demand levels and high used truck inventories impacting new registrations.

The demand outlook for 2017, however, seems somewhat weak with market registrations likely to stay at slightly below the 2016 level despite stronger demand recovery projected for the second half of 2017 & improving demand in the Class 8 segment. The North American Class 6-8 Truck market continues to be dominated by Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA), led by its flagship Freightliner Cascadia, which has enabled Daimler to continue to lead Class 8 segment with the largest market share consistently.

The North American truck market is poised for a major disruption over near term driven with significantly growing interest in & the likely advent of electric trucks over near term with a number of programs being developed by the industry in the prototypes and pilot phases, some of which are likely to enter the market in 2017 itself. Further, fleet operators are likely to be impacted with ELD mandates likely to come into effect in late 2017 while startups continue to disrupt the market with their technological innovations powered solutions for the trucking industry.

Overall, the trucking industry is on the verge of a transformation driven by rapid pace of technology development and adoption by the industry with focus on connectivity, safety, autonomous driving and alternate drivetrains which is likely to transform the market landscape altogether over medium term with the likely evolution of new business models & concepts as trucking evolves from being a products to solutions business leveraging technology as the backbone.
