Comparative SWOT & Business Outlook - 2021 - Global Top 7 Medium & Heavy Truck Manufacturers - Daimler, Volvo, MAN, Scania, PACCAR, Navistar, Iveco

The Global Trucking industry has been impacted significantly by the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 with declining volumes as well as profitability across OEMs with recovery seen in the later part of the year led by the unprecedented surge in e-commerce volumes while the industry also continues to make steady progress towards development of sustainable technologies geared towards de-carbonization of transportation. The efforts have primarily been led by battery electric & fuel cell technologies with the tipping point for electric trucks likely to come in 2021 with serial assembly of electric trucks scheduled to commence across trucking behemoths, Daimler & Volvo, apart from most other OEMs. Further, mass market production & introduction of hydrogen powered trucks across Europe by 2030, too, is taking shape under the H2Accelerate initiative by the industry. The rapid move towards de-carbonization of transportation & transition towards sustainability has also led to a spike in M&A activity as well as JVs & partnerships amongst leading industry players with the same likely to see a further uptick going forward.

The Global Demand for medium & heavy trucks is projected to register a steady recovery & growth over near to medium term with most key global economies likely to witness an uptick in demand following pursuit of fiscal interventions by nations & governments across most regions under fiscal intervention measures going forward coupled with strong global economic recovery projections by the IMF for 2021 & 2022, led by the U.S.

Further, the massive, $2 trillion infrastructure plan just outlined by the Biden administration in early April 2021; geared towards comprehensive repair & rebuilding of roads, railroads, bridges & ports in the U.S.; could turn out to be the much needed shot in the arm for the on & off-highway segments over medium term with an outlay of $115 billion planned towards repair of highways & bridges alone, if it gets approved by the Congress. However, much of that will be contingent on the pace & trajectory of global macroeconomic recovery from the COVID-19, direction of U.S. policy posture towards global trade under Biden administration, sustainment of recovery in global crude oil as well as commodity prices, all of which will have a direct & significant bearing on the shape of the growth curve for the industry going forward.
