In March of this year, 3.9 thousand new trucks with a gross weight of more than 16 tons were sold in Russia. This is 10% less than in the previous month, and 59% less than in March last year.
Experts identify several factors that could have influenced such a significant decline in sales. These include rising prices for cars and components, tightening of leasing conditions and requirements for imported equipment in accordance with technical regulations.
In first place in sales in March was KamAZ - 1193 vehicles. In second place is Sitrak, but it lags far behind the leader: only 537 units of equipment were sold. Third place is occupied by Shacman with 406 cars sold, fourth by FAW with 355 units, and fifth by Belarusian MAZ with 292 units.
