Windrose Technology expects by 2030 to be producing Class 8 battery-electric trucks with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.

North American Class 8 truck purchases this year and next will rise compared with 2025 but are unlikely to meet the promise of February's orders, VTNA says.

North American Class 8 truck orders jumped year over year in February, with ACT Research preliminary data showing orders rose 156% to 46,200 units.

International Motors posted a second consecutive quarterly loss in the fourth quarter of 2025 as the Traton Group division’s truck sales dropped 40% year over year and tariffs bit harder.

ACT Research preliminary data showed orders increased 20% year over year to 30,800 units. But the data also showed orders fell 27.8% sequentially from 42,684 units.

Class 8 truck orders soared sequentially in December, a shift that experts attributed more to buyer trepidation over new emissions technologies than enthusiasm with business conditions.

North American Class 8 truck orders fell from the prior year and sequentially in November despite the month usually being the third strongest of the year.

Monthly orders data has trended below prior-year results since the start of the year. President Trump’s focus on tariffs has created uncertainty for both OEMs and truck buyers.

International Motors posted an operating loss in Q3 2025 as truck sales plummeted 64% year over year, and the truck and bus maker canceled plans for its eRH Series battery-electric tractor.

Gothenburg, Sweden-based Volvo Group — parent company of Volvo Trucks North America and Mack Trucks — sold 9,622 trucks in North America, compared with 12,026 a year earlier.
