SINOTRUK has strengthened its position in China’s heavy-duty truck market with strong sales growth during the first seven months of 2026. From January to July, the company delivered 218,700 heavy-duty trucks, representing a 27% year-on-year increase and a 29.4% market share. SINOTRUK ranked first in both total heavy-duty truck sales and exports during the period.
The latest figures highlight the continued strength of SINOTRUK’s HOWO and SITRAK product portfolio as demand for reliable and cost-efficient heavy-duty transportation solutions remains strong.
Strong Growth in Heavy-Duty Truck Sales
China’s heavy-duty truck market maintained overall growth during the first seven months of 2026, while competition among major manufacturers remained intense. SINOTRUK stood out with a 27% increase in cumulative sales, significantly strengthening its position in the market.
According to industry data, China’s heavy-duty truck market sold approximately 745,000 units during the first seven months of the year, an increase of around 19.4% compared with the same period in 2025. SINOTRUK accounted for nearly 30% of the market with 218,700 units sold.
The company's strong performance also reflects the continued demand for heavy-duty trucks used in logistics, construction, mining, and other commercial transportation applications.
Expanding Global Presence
SINOTRUK’s growth is not limited to the domestic market. The company also ranked first in heavy-duty truck exports during the first seven months of 2026, supporting its broader international expansion strategy.
The company currently operates 37 overseas knock-down assembly plants and more than 700 service outlets, reflecting a shift from simply exporting finished vehicles toward a more localized international business model.
For international truck operators and distributors, the expansion of vehicle sales and service networks also increases the importance of reliable after-sales support. As more SINOTRUK trucks enter overseas markets, the availability of maintenance components and replacement parts becomes an important part of long-term fleet operation.
Growing Demand for Truck Spare Parts
A growing commercial vehicle fleet creates continuing demand for maintenance and replacement parts. Components such as brake parts, engine components, gearbox parts, electrical components, chassis parts, and cabin parts all play a role in maintaining truck performance throughout the vehicle's operating life.
For fleet operators and workshops, reliable access to the correct spare parts can help reduce vehicle downtime and improve maintenance efficiency. Accurate part-number identification is particularly important because different truck models, configurations, engines, and transmissions may use different components.
As international markets continue to expand their SINOTRUK truck fleets, buyers may increasingly look for suppliers capable of providing genuine and OEM parts for long-term maintenance and wholesale requirements.
New Energy Trucks Continue to Grow
SINOTRUK is also expanding rapidly in the new energy heavy-duty truck segment. During the first seven months of 2026, the company delivered 24,900 new energy heavy-duty trucks, representing a 128.6% year-on-year increase and a 16.1% market share. In July alone, SINOTRUK delivered 4,959 new energy heavy-duty trucks, up 164.8% year on year.
The company is developing battery-electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel-cell solutions for applications including long-haul logistics, port transportation, mining, and construction.
The growth of new energy commercial vehicles is also expected to gradually change the structure of the truck aftermarket. While traditional engine and transmission components remain important for conventional heavy-duty trucks, electric drivetrains, control systems, batteries, and other electrical components are becoming increasingly relevant to the commercial vehicle industry.
What This Means for the Truck Parts Market
The continued expansion of SINOTRUK’s domestic and international truck fleet provides a strong foundation for long-term aftermarket demand. As trucks accumulate operating hours and mileage, regular maintenance and replacement of wear components become essential.
For international wholesalers, distributors, workshops, and fleet operators, sourcing the correct truck spare parts can therefore be an important part of maintaining vehicle availability and controlling operating costs.
Suppliers that can provide accurate part-number matching, genuine and OEM products, multiple product categories, and international shipping capabilities can help buyers simplify their procurement process.

Looking Ahead
SINOTRUK’s performance during the first seven months of 2026 demonstrates the company's continued strength in both conventional and new energy heavy-duty trucks. Its growing international network is also creating a broader ecosystem around vehicle sales, after-sales service, and spare-parts supply.
For truck operators and parts distributors, the expansion of the SINOTRUK fleet represents not only growing demand for new vehicles but also continued opportunities in the long-term maintenance and aftermarket parts market.
CREATRUCK will continue to provide genuine and OEM truck spare parts for international customers and support buyers with part-number identification, product sourcing, mixed wholesale orders, and global delivery.
