Truck Sales * USA - Remain Abysmal as April Total Drops 44.4%

Washington,DC,USA -Transport Topics, by Jonathan S. Reiskin -May 18, 2009: -- Heavy-duty U.S. truck sales continued at a dismal pace in April, as monthly volume fell 44.4% from a year earlier, when sales were already declining. Year to date, sales are now 32.5% behind the comparable period of 2008, according to the latest monthly survey from WardsAuto.com... Although all original equipment manufacturers posted declines of at least 18% for both April and for the year’s first four months, several truck makers and dealers said that sales would improve in the second half of 2009... OEMs and their dealers sold 6,664 Class 8 trucks during the month, compared with 11,983 in April 2008. The year’s cumulative volume fell to 28,496 units from 42,231 in the first four months of 2008. February’s tally of 6,236 heavy trucks was the lowest tally since early 1983, according to industry consulting firm FTR Associates... (Photo from Total Suspension LLC)
