Heavy vehicle wholesale sales in Mexico fell by over 35% in January, according to the National Association of Bus, Truck, and Tractor Producers (Anpact).
In January, wholesale sales of heavy vehicles in Mexico saw a significant decline, with only 1,676 units sold compared to 2,608 units in January 2025, marking a decrease of over 35%. The National Association of Bus, Truck, and Tractor Producers (Anpact) attributed this downturn to a cautious investment climate among transport companies, which has made firms hesitant in their purchasing decisions. This reflects broader economic trends affecting the industry as it navigates challenges at the start of 2026.
Furthermore, Anpact reports that the heavy vehicle manufacturing sector is currently undergoing adjustments early in the year, following a 2025 that featured consistently declining indicators for the sector. In contrast to sales, there was some positive news regarding production; the manufacturing of heavy vehicles amounted to 6,793 units in January, representing a noteworthy increase of 51.9% compared to the same month last year. However, this growth in manufacturing contrasts sharply with poor sales performance, raising questions about the sustainability of the industry amid fluctuating demands.
The report also highlighted that exports of heavy vehicles reached 5,076 units in January, indicating that while domestic sales may be suffering, there remains a market for Mexican-produced vehicles abroad. This situation suggests a critical time for the heavy vehicle industry in Mexico, as it must navigate both domestic market challenges and capitalize on potential international opportunities to boost its overall health and long-term growth.
