Market Trends: World truck (>6t gvw) market to grow by 60%+ by 2025, says Renschler

摘要

Germany - "Experts predict that global market volume for trucks over six tons gvw will increase by more than two-thirds between 2011 and 2025," said Andreas Renschler, Member of the Daimler AG Board of Management, responsible for Daimler Trucks and Daimler Buses, when delivering a paper called "Freight Transport in 2025 - Truck Performance in the Future" in Frankfurt at the end of June. Based on figures suggested by Matthias Wissmann, president of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) at the same conference, who forecasts for 2012 that the global truck market over six tonnes gvw is to continue to expand and climb by five per cent to some 3.27 million vehicles, this two third volume growth would therefore be in the region of two million extra trucks a year by 2025. This is perhaps backed up by the OECD, Renshler added, which forecasts road freight will more than triple world wide by 2050.
