The latest Truck Industry Council (TIC) T-Mark data has been released for September, with Australia’s truck sales market continuing to warm towards the end of 2024.

Following 1308 heavy vehicle sales in August, September saw 4546 heavy vehicles delivered, raising the year to date figure to 38,255 vehicles.

Overall, Isuzu is far and away the leader for 2024 to date, with 1097 sales in September seeing it reach 9,880 for the year so far. Sitting second is Hino with 3,759 sales through its 407 September sales, while Fuso (286 for September), Kenworth (382) and Volvo (293) all boosted their annual figures to form a strong top five.

When it comes to the heavy duty market, Kenworth was the runaway winner with 382 vehicles sold in September. Volvo once again assumed second spot with 286 sales for the month, while Isuzu sat not far behind with 207. From there, Scania (113) and Mercedes-Benz (111) were neck and neck all month, keeping a comfortable distance from Mack (76), UD Trucks (71) and Hino (68).

In the medium duty sector, Isuzu continued to reign supreme with 350 sales made in September. Hino was far and away a clear second with 201 sales, with Fuso reaching the podium with 99. From there it was daylight, with Iveco (17) keeping narrowly ahead of Hyundai and UD Trucks (11 each).

For light duty vehicles, Isuzu was similarly dominant, bringing in 540 sales for September. Fiat took second spot with 230, while Hino (138), Fuso (128) and Iveco (127) battled it out for third. Behind the top five, Renault (56), Mercedes-Benz (54) and Hyundai (34) all remained close.

In the vans sector, LDV may have won the month with 245 sales, but Mercedes-Benz’s 203 sales for September still sees it sit narrowly ahead for the year to date with 2,331 sales.

Renault Vans sold 138 vehicles in September to assume third spot, while Ford (117) stayed well ahead of Volkswagen (65) and Fiat leapt up the charts with 154 sales for the month.
