Registrations in Ukraine of new commercial vehicles (trucks and special vehicles) in June amounted to 1,068 units, which is 12% more than in May this year and 2.5 times more than in June 2022, “Ukravtoprom” reported in Telegram channel.
“This is the best result in the last 17 months,” stated in the message.
At the same time, compared to the pre-war June-2021 registrations of commercial cars decreased by 26%.
The top five commercial vehicles on the market in June were: Renault – 356 units; Scania – 127 units; Volkswagen – 67 units; Peugeot – 60 units and Mercedes-Benz – 53 units.
Total, according to the Association, in the first half of the year 5,190 new trucks were added to the Ukrainian park of trucks and special vehicles, which is 61% more than during the same period last year.
In its turn, analytical group Auto-Consulting, analyzing the segment of trucks on its web-site on Tuesday, points out that in June there is again a record of their delivery to the Ukrainian market – 440 units, which is 2.2 times more than in June last year.
“And it is not a situational jump, because according to the results of six months we record the growth of the market by 89%”, – the experts state.
According to the group’s data, in June this segment of the market was headed by Scania, which managed to take 29% of the market, the second result was gained by DAF with 9%. IVECO, Renault, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz also increase their sales.
“There is a segment of trucks of 3.6-8 tons with a gross weight which is developing powerfully, where European producers are more and more present. But Chinese brands have started to actively develop the segment of communal machinery and have already achieved certain success. Now any tender on this theme consists of at least three or four proposals on the chassis of Chinese manufacturers”, – is noted in the report.
According to analysts, the high rate of recovery of the truck market is primarily due to the fact that businesses are trying to increase their own fleets to transport goods through the new logistics corridors.
As it was reported with reference to Ukravtoprom, in 2022 the market of new commercial vehicles was added 6.9 thousand new cars – 2.3 times less than in 2021.
Primary registrations of used cars imported from abroad in April 2023 increased by almost 8% compared to March 2023 – up to 15.3 thousand units, which was the highest number of registrations per month since the beginning of the year, said the association “Ukravtoprom” in Telegram-channel.
The largest share in this segment of the car market belongs to gasoline cars – 45%, followed by diesel cars – 36%, electric cars – 11%, cars with HFO – 5% and hybrids – 3%.
The average age of used cars that switched to Ukrainian plates in April is 11 years.
According to the Association, the top five of the market of used cars compared to March has not changed: the most popular is still Renault Megane – 1273 units, the second result has Volkswagen Golf – 1180 units, the third – Skoda Octavia – 794 units.

“Ukravtoprom” informs that in January-April, 54.5 thousand used cars, imported from abroad, got the first registration in Ukraine, which is 3.3 times more than the sales of new cars during the same period.
Ukrainians in 2022 registered 388.5 thousand imported used foreign cars, which is nearly a quarter less than a year earlier, but more than 10 times more than the market of new cars.
Primary new passenger cars in March this year increased by 21% compared to February this year – up to 4,511 units, said “Ukravtoprom” in Telegram-channel.
The Association says that the demand for passenger cars increased 8 times compared with March of the last year, but only because of the low comparison base (March 2022 was the first month of full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine – IF-U).
Toyota remains the leader of registrations – 648 units, second place again belongs to Renault with 438 cars (in February the brand was 5th), third place – to Volkswagen with registrations of 432 cars.
