Pandemic? What pandemic? Headwinds in the ec<strong>on</strong>omy?<br />
Perhaps the ec<strong>on</strong>omic stimulus the federal government used<br />
last year to ward off both a significant Covid-19 c<strong>on</strong>tracti<strong>on</strong> and<br />
a surge in structural unemployment will dissipate and with it the<br />
rising tide in sales seen in Truck Industry Council (TIC) T-Mark<br />
figures for February.<br />
But with employment close to full recovery and tax receipts<br />

appear to indicate. This is up from 2,448 the previous February,<br />
when the nati<strong>on</strong>al ec<strong>on</strong>omy was barely coasting, and less than 100<br />
units behind February 2019’s 2,826, when the most recent truck<br />
sales boom was still reverberating. For the sake of completeness, the<br />
boom-time 2018 figure was 3,001.<br />
Of course, the extra numbers have to bel<strong>on</strong>g somewhere. Whatever<br />
the situati<strong>on</strong>, Isuzu leads the pack <strong>on</strong> total numbers, last m<strong>on</strong>th at 714<br />
units compared with the previous year-<strong>on</strong>-year (YOY) m<strong>on</strong>thly figure<br />
of 606 and beating its best by two units <strong>on</strong> 2018’s figure.<br />
And the Hino chase is unabated, the challenger making 447 sales,<br />
up YOY from 364 and a good 20 units up <strong>on</strong> 2018.<br />
Not to be outd<strong>on</strong>e, relatively, Fuso proves the incoming tide is<br />
lifting the leading trio at the same time with 301, 70 up <strong>on</strong> 2020 and<br />
knocking over 2018 by 20 units.<br />
Which begs the questi<strong>on</strong>: is this the start of a new boom? And, if so,<br />
is it even?<br />
HEAVY DUTY<br />
For the biggest trucks, the picture is OK rather than astounding and<br />
shows the overall growth isn’t really being driven from here.<br />
Total sales are at 805, up 25 YOY but with much clear<br />
daylight between it and February 2019’s 962 and February<br />
2018’s 973.<br />
Kenworth franks this form – its 163 is above last year’s 121 but not<br />
2019’s 186 and 2018’s 176. But things are quieter for the placegetter,<br />
with Volvo dead-heating with Isuzu <strong>on</strong> 109.<br />
For Volvo, that is down from the segment-leading 137 it recorded<br />
