Global Truck Market Update
"In 2013, DAF achieved a record market share of 16.2 percent in the above 16-tonne European market. DAF is the market leader in the European tractor segment as fleets recognize DAF's quality leadership, low operating costs and excellent resale value," said Harrie Schippers, DAF president. "Industry sales above 16-tonnes in Europe were 240,800 units in 2013. It is estimated that industry truck sales in the above 16-tonne market in Europe in 2014 will be in a range of 200,000-230,000 vehicles."
"DAF and Kenworth registered 3,900 trucks in Russia in 2013, supported by a DAF/Kenworth dealer network of 38 sales and service locations," said Ron Bonsen, DAF Director of Sales. PACCAR introduced DAF CF vehicles in Taiwan in 2006. The product range was expanded with the launch of the DAF LF for urban distribution in late 2012. "DAF is the largest European truck manufacturer in the above 16-tonne segment in Taiwan with a 16.0 percent market share," noted Bonsen.
"Class 8 industry retail truck sales in the U.S. and Canada were 212,000 units in 2013," said Dan Sobic, PACCAR executive vice president. "Truck demand is being driven primarily by the ongoing replacement of the aging truck population and improving housing and automotive sectors. In 2013, PACCAR achieved a Class 8 retail market share in the U.S. and Canada of 28.0 percent as customers benefited from Kenworth and Peterbilt vehicles' exceptional styling, superior fuel efficiency and outstanding vehicle performance. Estimates for U.S. and Canada Class 8 truck industry retail sales in 2014 are in the range of 210,000-240,000 units, driven by vehicle replacement and some expansion of industry fleet capacity, reflecting anticipated economic growth," added Sobic.
South American Growth
PACCAR completed construction of its new 300,000-square-foot DAF assembly facility in Ponta Grossa, Brasil, in October 2013.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, DAF began truck production in Brasil," said Marco Davila, DAF Brasil president. "During 2014, DAF plans to steadily increase truck production and has a long-term market share goal of 20 percent. The independent DAF dealer service network consisted of 20 locations in 2013 and will expand to 40 Brazilian locations in 2014," added Davila. "It is estimated that Brasil industry truck sales in the above 6-tonnes segment will be 150,000 units in 2014."
PACCAR Parts Achieves Record Annual Revenues
"PACCAR's aftermarket parts business achieved record annual revenues in 2013," said Bob Christensen, chief financial officer and PACCAR executive vice president.
