Get a deeper understanding of the market
Understanding the current commercial vehicle (CV) market is critical for your business. For sales projections, budgeting, supply-chain management, and more, understanding the industry's current state is why ACT Research developed its State of the Industry series, particularly the N.A. Classes 5-8 report.
This report is built on the monthly market indicator data provided by the truck and tractor original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to ACT Research. This direct access to the OEMs is critical to the report’s success and insights into the current market. ACT releases preliminary and finalized numbers based on the OEM's data and a complete report on the state of the industry.
Coverage of the bus and RV markets is included in this report and can be seen as critical for full market understanding. Not all production in Classes 5-7 are trucks; this coverage allows for better, more clearly defined market segments.
One of the most important aspects of this report is the accompanying database. Historical data is available in Excel documents dating from 1996 to the present. With the monthly data provided by the OEMs, this report offers a rich data history that helps model building and market intelligence for various companies.
