Global OEM IVECO has reflected on its sales success in 2025, reiterating its Australian truck sales growth in a challenging year for the local truck market.
While Truck Industry Council (TIC) data showed total truck sales dropped by almost 12 per cent in 2025 when compared to 2024, IVECO says it had “several performance standouts” in truck sales markets.
In the heavy duty segment, IVECO built on recent results courtesy of the increasing adoption of S-Way models along with the latest ACCO Range. This saw the brand increase sales year-on-year by 8.23 per cent – the largest of any manufacturer in a segment that declined 16.65 per cent.
When it came to medium-duty trucks, IVECO maintained its spot as the best-selling European brand, with IVECO raring to boost this in 2026 following the
introduction of the latest Eurocargo range in Australia and New Zealand late last year, featuring enhanced drivelines, greater safety features and driver appointments.

IVECO also maintained its long-term spot as the leading European light cab chassis for the 12th consecutive year, with the new Daily range set to boost this standing when released in the second quarter of this year.
The latest release will include a major interior upgrade, additional active and passive safety features and will offer further improvements in emission performance, with the transition from Euro 6 ‘Step D’ to the more stringent ‘Step E’ measure.
IVECO Trucks Australia head of sales and marketing Blaire Race says the combination of fresh product, dealer network growth and streamlining of aftersales support services positions IVECO well for the year ahead.
“IVECO is in the midst of an exciting product roll-out that has recently seen enhancements to our ACCO and Eurocargo line-ups, along with a refresh of Daily 4×4 – the new models will continue in 2026 with the latest Daily 4×2 release. Additionally, supply and pricing is looking favourable this year for prospective customers,” Race says.
“We also see increasing sales opportunities in the vocation market – especially in waste – where we’re working with industry partners to grow our product offerings to local government and private operators particularly in compactor and street sweeping applications.
“Product aside, we’re concentrating on making IVECO a preferred partner for our customers by enhancing our suite of aftersales services, including wider availability of telematics, tailored service and maintenance programs and extended warranties, all of which are designed to maximise uptime.
“This year will also see continued investment in the IVECO dealer network – together these key focuses provide us with strong optimism for 2026 and beyond.”
