Sales of heavy trucks in Russia may fall by 23% yoy in 2025 to 85,000
Deputy General Director of the Russian truck producer Mikhail Matasov noted that the decline in sales can be caused by a decrease in demand for cargo transportation.
Sales of heavy trucks in Russia in 2025 may decline by 23% year-on-year to 85,000 units, Mikhail Matasov, Deputy General Director of the Russian truck producer Kamaz, told reporters.
"The market will be poor in 2025. We currently estimate it at 85,000 units against 110,000 this year. We think that 85,000 is even optimistic," he said.
Matasov noted that the decline in sales can be caused by a decrease in demand for cargo transportation.
"If there is no construction, then there will be fewer dump trucks. We also pro-vide trucks for cargo transportation industry - if there are fewer of them, then there will be fewer haulage trucks," he explained.
Over the past year, Kamaz produced about 6,000-7,000 new-generation K5 vehicles.
"The plan for 2025 is, in my opinion, 10,000 units. But we don't know if there will be that many, because Chinese brands have large warehouse stocks," Matasov added.
Earlier, the National Agency for Direct Investments (NAPI) presented a forecast according to which sales of new trucks in 2025 may decrease by 13.5% year-on-year to 110,400.
Under the baseline sales scenario for 2024, sales of trucks will total 127,800 units. Under a positive scenario, the volume of sales of new trucks in 2025 will be 120,600, under a pessimistic scenario it will be 100,300 units.
