Wholesale sales of heavy vehicles start 2026 with a decline
The heavy goods market started the year in negative territory, with pressure in the higher volume segments, reports ANPACT.
The start of 2026 confirms that the heavy vehicle market has not yet managed to reverse the adjustment trend shown throughout 2025. After a year marked by the slowdown in fleet renewal , the caution of carriers and a regulatory environment in transition, wholesale sales began the year with widespread declines, particularly in the most important segments within the industry.
During January, wholesale sales totaled 1,677 units in January 2026, representing a drop of 33.3% compared to the same month in 2025, when 2,515 units were sold, according to the most recent Statistical Bulletin of the National Association of Producers of Buses, Trucks and Tractor-Trailers (ANPACT) .
The decline was concentrated primarily in the cargo segment , whose sales totaled 1,458 units , a 35.4% decrease compared to the 2,258 units registered a year earlier. Within this segment, fifth-wheel tractors reported the largest contraction, with a 52.5% drop , falling from 1,668 units in January 2025 to 793 units in the same month of 2026 , while Class 8 trucks declined 32.2% , with 356 units .

Heavy truck sales haven’t just dipped, they’re falling sharply across multiple metrics (retail, wholesale, and manufacturer deliveries) and into 2026.
Official jobs revisions slashed 2025 growth sharply
Despite January’s boost to the labor market, the report also included revisions to the total number of new jobs in 2025. After revisions, total new jobs for the year was 181,000, down from an initially reported 584,000 jobs, marking the weakest year of job growth since the Covid-19 pandemic. In comparison, 2m jobs were added to the economy in 2024.

Flat retail sales and falling Treasury yields point to investors pricing in slower real economic activity ahead, weakening confidence in headline growth numbers.
