COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS
Market Summary
Dealers retailed fewer trucks in August than in July, but pricing was little changed.
Auction and wholesale sales volume was up slightly over July, but pricing through those
channels pulled back - albeit with an asterisk. A special study looks at the factors driving
supply and demand of natural gas trucks in the new and used markets.
Sleeper Tractors – Retail
Historically, the latter part of the year is not strong for used truck sales volume, as fleets
and operators focus on moving freight with trucks acquired earlier in the year. This
trend has not always been observable post-recession, but with pricing remaining at a
high level – and no notable external factors limiting demand - that’s the most likely
explanation this year.
August’s universal retail average was nearly identical
to July’s record, at $60,459 – only $308 (or 0.5%)

Competitive Comparison—3- and 4-Year-Old Sleepers
Starting with 3-year-old (2012MY) trucks, the Peterbilt 386 returned to trend after
dipping in July. However, there was only one reported sale of this model in August, so
the month is not a valid representation of that model’s positioning.
The Kenworth T660 and Freightliner Cascadia continue to perform similarly, with prices
essentially unchanged from last month. The Cascadia continues to be the largest-volume
2012 truck sold by a large margin, making its pricing performance even more impressive.
Volvo’s models dipped below the industry average this month. 730/780’s reported sold
continue to feature mileage well above the industry average, which could partially
account for the comparatively lower pricing despite our mileage adjustment. 630/670’s
have featured mileage at the high end of our acceptable range to slightly over, and we
expect that model to track closer to the average over
time.

The International ProStar ticked back down in August,

the competition, with the T660, 730/780, and 386
closely behind. All of these models typically outperform the industry average.
In the lower tier, the 630/670 and 387 had a better month than last, with the 630/670
performing very close to the industry average.
The ProStar continues to depreciate, currently running about 12% behind the market
average for the year to date. Only about 13% of 2011 ProStars reported sold this month
were equipped with the MaxxForce.

Volvo’s announcement last week that they have
stopped work on a compression ignition LNG engine
for North America – it appears that interest in natural
gas power has moderated. What are the factors

currently impacting the new and used natural gas
$80,000
truck markets?
$70,000
Price
With no change in economies of scale, the price of
new NG engines and tanks is still a primary issue. The
Period

premium of $30,000-$70,000 over diesel power

remains in place, and the cost/benefit only works out

production needs to ramp up for price to come down,
but until price comes down demand won’t increase.

Source: ATD/NADA
The “low” price of diesel fuel is another primary issue. Thanks to fracking, the US is now
the world’s largest producer of crude oil and export restrictions keep all but a fraction of
that crude in the US. This is not a temporary trend, either – domestic production is
forecast to increase through 2019, and the US should remain the top producer into the
2030’s. This ample domestic supply keeps pricing lower and more stable than crude sold
on the global market. Significantly, the US is also the world’s largest producer of natural
gas, but the low price of NG alone is not sufficient to make the math work out for most
trucking operations.
Looking forward, there is one major factor that could rekindle interest in NG.
Specifically, there’s a moderately good chance that the Commerce Department will relax
6
export restrictions on domestic crude. The agency has already lifted restrictions on a
specific type of condensate, and lobbying for further relaxation is intense. This change
would drive up the price of diesel, as domestic crude would move from a captive to
global market. In this scenario, the cost/benefit for NG improves.
Also, the natural gas fueling infrastructure continues to be built out, with about 740
public (and around 700 private) CNG stations and about 60 LNG stations currently in
service. However, even with ongoing construction, access to even CNG is extremely
limited compared to diesel – and don’t forget that not all CNG stations are fast-fill.
For these reasons, natural gas-powered trucks are still a fraction of the new truck
market. 2014 should see 10,500 trucks sold, which is a 20% increase over 2013… but still
only 5% of the market. Many analysts forecast sales to reach 25-30,000 by 2018 – still a
small percentage.
The low number of trucks sold new will result in a low number returning to the
secondary market. There are still essentially no natural gas trucks showing up in our
retail or wholesale sales databases, and we don’t expect to see an actionable volume in
the near term.
NADA will continue to closely monitor our incoming sales data from Manheim, ADESA,
regional auctions, individual dealers, dealer groups, and OEM’s for sales of NG trucks. If
you are currently buying or selling used NG trucks, I would love to hear from you. Please
drop me a line at [email protected].

primarily responsible for the increased volume. A secondary factor is increased interest
in older, higher-mileage trucks – specifically those with over 800,000 miles. See “Total

As for the retail channel, volume pulled back after a strong July. August’s result of 5.6

Conclusion
Retail and wholesale used truck markets enter the 4th quarter in strong shape. Selling
activity should decrease in a historically-typical seasonal pattern, but pricing will remain
solid. The increased volume of trucks entering the secondary market this year is the
“new normal,” as we are now fully into the trade-in period for trucks built postrecovery.
These factors should keep pricing trends predictable through the end of the year.
Specifically, expect depreciation of roughly 1-1.5% for 2011 and newer trucks, and stable
pricing for 2010 and older trucks.
