52% Export Growth! A New Milestone of 200,000 Units Expected for the First Time
Having claimed the top spot among Chinese heavy-duty truck exporters in 2021 and secured the global No.1 position for the first time in 2025, SINOTRUK continues to expand its global footprint in 2026.
In the first nine months of 2026, SINOTRUK's complete vehicle exports reached 182,000 units, up 52.1% year on year. For the full year, heavy truck exports are forecast to exceed 200,000 units, while localised overseas production will approach 50,000 units.
While consolidating its advantages in emerging markets, SINOTRUK has achieved bulk vehicle deliveries to Australia and New Zealand. It has also partnered with Austria's Steyr to carry out local manufacturing in Europe.
Market forecasts put overseas demand for Chinese heavy-duty trucks at 1 million units by 2030. Against this backdrop, SINOTRUK has set its 2030 target at 800,000 complete vehicles and revenue exceeding 400 billion yuan.
