Australia’s new truck market continued to cool in June, with sales falling compared with the same month last year, while year-to-date deliveries also remain well below 2025 figures.
According to the latest Truck Industry Council (TIC) figures, 4172 new trucks and heavy vans were sold last month, down 716 units or 14.6 per cent on the 4888 vehicles delivered in June 2025.
The softer June result continues the trend seen throughout much of 2026, with 19,526 trucks sold nationally during the first six months of the year. That compares with 22,582 over the same period in 2025, a decline of 3056 vehicles or 13.5 per cent.
Isuzu remained Australia’s dominant truck brand, delivering 921 vehicles in June to secure a 22.1 per cent market share. While still well clear of the field, the brand’s share eased from 25.9 per cent in June last year as the overall market became more competitive.
Hino strengthened its position as Australia’s second-largest truck brand, increasing its monthly market share from 10 per cent to 10.9 per cent despite sales easing slightly from 487 to 455 units.
Fuso retained third place with 320 deliveries, edging its market share up from 7.5 per cent to 7.7 per cent.
Among the other leading brands, Mercedes-Benz increased its overall market share from 2.8 per cent to 3.4 per cent, while DAF and Volkswagen also continued to build on their year-to-date gains.
Year-to-date, Isuzu remains Australia’s clear market leader with 4407 deliveries and a 22.6 per cent share, ahead of Hino (2104) and Fuso (1661).
The heavy-duty market told a different story, with several specialist manufacturers strengthening their position despite the softer overall market.
Kenworth remained Australia’s best-selling heavy-duty brand in June with 249 deliveries, ahead of Volvo (237), Isuzu (150), Scania (123) and UD Trucks (96).
Although Kenworth retained the number one spot, its heavy-duty market share eased from 23.2 per cent to 19.6 per cent compared with June 2025.
Volvo continued its consistent performance, increasing its heavy-duty share from 16.3 per cent to 16.6 per cent, while Scania lifted its share from 7.7 per cent to 8.7 per cent.
UD Trucks recorded one of the strongest gains in the segment, increasing its year-to-date heavy-duty market share from 3.3 per cent to 5.5 per cent after almost doubling its June deliveries compared with the same month last year.
DAF also continued its strong momentum among the heavies, lifting its year-to-date share from 3.6 per cent to 5.8 per cent, making it one of the biggest gainers in the category.
