CVWorld: China's heavy truck sales fall 10% YoY in September

Continuing the sputtering result seen in August, sales of heavy-duty trucks in China in September both from makers direct to dealers and for export continued to flounder, with the estimated sales volume for the month reaching 95,000 units, down by 10% from September 2025 and marking the third consecutive on-year decline since July. If compared on-month though, September’s result was still 10% up from August.

This is according to preliminary estimates released by the Beijing-headquartered Commercial Vehicle World (CVWorld), a well-recognized market intelligence provider on China's truck manufacturing sector. Based on this estimate, combined heavy truck sales over January-September will amount to nearly 926,000 units, with the on-year growth rate slowing to 13% for the first nine months,
