Truck makers gear up for growth spurt this year

February 10, 2026

Philippine truck manufacturers are bracing for an acceleration in sales this year as the government-led push for fleet modernization and sustained infrastructure spending offset the flat performance last year.

The Truck Manufacturers Association Inc. (TMA) reported on Monday, Feb. 9, that the industry moved 6,783 units of Category III trucks, 3,690 units of Category IV trucks and buses, and 888 units of Category V heavy-duty trucks last year.

The figures, consolidated with data from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (CAMPI), showed the market remained largely unchanged from 2024 levels. Industry leaders characterized the 2025 results as a period of stabilization as inventory conditions normalized following post-pandemic fluctuations.

Looking toward 2026, the association is forecasting a significant uptick in volume. The optimistic outlook hinges on a wave of logistics demand and the continued rollout of state-funded construction projects, which require heavy machinery and long-haul transport.
