Heavy vehicle sales deliver third-best year on record

Australia’s new heavy vehicle market has delivered its third-best sales result on record, despite a year marked by economic pressure and a wave of transport company closures that reshaped buying behaviour across the sector.

According to the latest data released by the Truck Industry Council (TIC), total new truck and heavy van sales for the 2025 calendar year reached 45,191 units with Isuzu again the dominant force for the 37th straight year.

While this total represented a fall of 6086 vehicles, or 11.9 per cent, compared with the all-time record set in 2024, TIC said the end-of-year result remained strong given broader economic conditions.

Throughout 2025, a number of transport operators exited the industry, releasing a significant volume of late-model, high-quality used trucks into the market at competitive prices.

TIC said this influx of used vehicles displaced a portion of new truck sales, particularly at the heavier end of the market.

“Despite the challenging economic environment that prevailed across the Australian economy in 2025, it was pleasing to see new truck sales hold up well in 2025,” said TIC CEO Tony McMullan.

“It was equally pleasing to see sales well into the forty thousands. The 40,000 barrier was only broken relatively recently in 2018. This was tempered somewhat due to Covid and the ensuing global supply chain disruptions. However, sales are now consistently continuing above this mark.”

For the fourth year in succession, dealers have celebrated record, or near record sales: 2022 – 44,379, 2023 – 47,757, 2024 – 51,277 and now 2025 with 45,191.

Overall, the heavy-duty segment felt the headwinds more than most in 2025 with its total of 14,297 trucks delivered, down 16.7 per cent, or 2855 trucks on the record 2024 numbers.

Total heavy-duty sales also fell behind those of the lights for the first time in 10 years.

Although down on its 2024 total of 3774, Kenworth again came out on top in 2025 with 3347 trucks delivered and a 23.4 per cent total market share, up from 22 per cent in 2024.

Volvo clung on to second spot overall with 202 sales in December and a 2025 tally of 2326, a dip of 789 on its final total in 2024.

Australia’s biggest selling brand Isuzu rounded out the top three with another solid year in a category it’s never set out to dominate, with a gap back to Scania in fourth and the late-charging DAF in fifth.

DAF made a notable ascent up the rankings in 2025, soaring from 12th with 595 sales and 3.5 percent of the market in 2024 to end the year with 611 and a market share of 4.3.

The medium-duty (MD) sector saw a similar easing of sales in 2025 when compared to 2024, that was particularly evident in December sales of just 445 units.

That was 261 less sales over the same month in 2024, a decrease of 37 per cent.

The fourth quarter MD segment result of 1396 was also well down on the final quarter 2024 result of 2107 units, by 711 trucks, or -33.7 percent.

In 2025 medium truck sales accounted for just 12.2 per cent of all new heavy vehicles sold in Australia, less than half of the MD segment’s peak of 30.9 per cent set in 2001.

The light-duty (LD) segment performed better than other sectors in 2025, accounting for 33.1 per cent of all heavy vehicle sales last year, however was still down when compared with the sales recorded in 2024.

A total of 13,712 lights were delivered last year, a fall of 5.8 per cent, 846 fewer, light truck sales than in 2024. Looking solely at the month of December 2025, sales were up 1.7 per cent over December 2024 with 1183 new light-duty trucks delivered, 20 more trucks than December 2024.

The fourth quarter 2025 total of 3799 LD truck sales was also slightly up on the quarter four 2024 result by 1.0 per cent (68 more trucks), highlighting the strong LD sales in the back half of last year.

Of the 13,712 lights delivered, 50.6 per cent of those (6941) were Isuzus.

TIC also released its first alternative fuel type report with sales numbers from December and 2025 in NSW.

Hume reopens with contraflow at Berrima after two-truck crash

Contraflow traffic conditions are now in place on the Hume Motorway at Berrima, NSW, to allow drivers to pass in both directions after a two-truck crash earlier today.

Multiple emergency services were tending to the scene near Greenhills Road after a B-double and single trailer vehicle collided while travelling northbound at about 3.50am.

According to one media report, a man in his 50s was airlifted to Liverpool Hospital with serious chest injuries.

Southern Highlands Police Chief Inspector Brendan Bernie said the other uninjured truck driver was assisting police with their investigation.

“Both trucks were travelling northbound. It appears to be a front to rear collision,” he said.

“Police are investigating the cause of the collision but it’s just too early to say what happened.”

Truckie glad he made the move to Townsville

Of Portuguese descent, Helder Marques has been in Australia for 35 years and is enthusiastic about his job as a driver for Townsville-based Griggs Haulage Contractors.

I saw Helder as he parked his Volvo FH at the BP Cluden just before dark in late 2025.

“I do a lot of jobs hauling grain and oversized loads and whilst a lot of the work is local, I do get out to Hughenden on the western Flinders Highway,” he said.

Helder arrived in Townsville from Sydney about 18 months ago and is glad he did.

He rates the Flinders Highway between Charters Towers and Hughenden as amongst the worst he gets along.

“There are many narrow bridges,” he said.

One of Helder’s favourite roadhouses is the Caltex at Stuart where he says the food is delicious.

When he gets time off Helder is into motorbikes, cars and of course trucks.

Like most drivers, he was looking forward to Christmas and the entire festive season.

“I will be spending lots of time with family,” he added.

When asked what his New Year’s resolution is, Helder answered quickly. “I want to buy a house,” he said.

There was a 4WD parked next to the Volvo and it was his father Antonio who was there to pick him up.

Also there was his pet dog Sam and they all drove off together.

Diesel delivery

Before becoming an interstate civil construction empire, Winslow began in a backyard.

Founder and Managing Director, Dino Strano, conceived the company out of his home in Rosanna, Victoria, in 1985. In the beginning, the operation was equipped with nothing more than a single piece of equipment and all the ambition Dino could muster.

It’s safe to say that things have changed since then. Winslow expanded across Australia in the years that followed, amassing machines and people along the way.

Today, the company’s presence extends to Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia, with more than 800 pieces of equipment and an army of 1,600 full-time workers across various construction applications.

Winslow’s fuel division plays a vital role in supporting site operations and logistics. Within this part of the business, Winslow works closely with trusted partners such as Holmwood Highgate which have built and customised its fleet of fuel tankers, hose reels, barrels and related systems.

Holmwood Highgate has provided Winslow with four rigid refuellers so far. A new unit is expected to join the fleet before Christmas and will change Winslow’s operations quite significantly.

“We outsourced the fueling of our machines to other companies entirely for some of our sites in the past,” says Winslow Fuel Service Manager, Dimitrios Gountsiotis. “This incoming rigid refueller will allow us to do it ourselves in a specific area of our operations.”

Though it may seem like a big task for one rigid refueller, the unit is custom-designed to get the job done. It features a total payload capacity of 22 tonnes, including a 15,000-litre fuel barrel and two additional tanks carrying lube oil and AdBlue diesel exhaust fluid.

The rigid refueller is also equipped with Alfons Haar pumping equipment and a specialised hose reel for diesel metered deliveries. In addition, a dedicated control unit inside the truck cab allows operators to directly adjust fuel pressure and ensure precise control when refuelling machinery.

“Some of our machinery can take up to 1,000 litres of fuel a day, while others only take 20,” Dimitrios says. “Being able to adjust this fuel pressure is very important so that we don’t damage certain equipment or waste fuel.”

The Holmwood Highgate rigid refueller will also include toolboxes on both sides for storing essential equipment such as grease cartridges. These features have become standard due to the OEM’s long-term understanding of Winslow’s operational needs.

“One of the biggest benefits of working with Holmwood is how straightforward they are,” Dimitrios says. “We’ve been partnering with them for close to 10 years, so they know what we like. The equipment they provide us suits our operations perfectly. It doesn’t get much easier than that.”

Holmwood Highgate’s expertise in design, fabrication and engineering has been a key factor behind Winslow’s success. Its ability to deliver custom, high-quality builds which perform reliably under demanding site conditions has made the OEM a trusted partner for the fleet.

With a strong focus on safety, precision and innovation, Holmwood Highgate has ensured that every unit is built to the highest standard – helping keep Winslow’s fleet running smoothly and efficiently across all job sites.

“We were still a big company 12 to 13 years ago, but we only had two fuel trucks,” Dimitrios says. “We decided to look for new partners with deeper knowledge and expertise, and Holmwood Highgate had exactly that. They don’t waste time when solving problems because they understand the size and complexity of the operation we run.”

Navigating the complex landscape of road freight transport

The trucking industry is the backbone that connects manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers. Yet, this reliance brings with it a complex web of responsibilities and risks that all parties in the supply chain must confront.

In the past six months, in response to a call to action from our members, the Queensland Trucking Association (QTA), in collaboration with other industry associations, has actively presented the issue of unfair contracting practices to the government, advocating for a level playing field for the road freight industry.

The intention is to address tax aversion and employee employment conditions that are being used to dramatically undercut freight costs, ultimately jeopardising the sustainability and integrity of the sector.

Senator Glenn Sterle is to be commended as a singular voice actively supporting the industry to raise the profile of this issue at a Federal level.

It is clear however, that the authorities are not prioritising the concerning impact of losing numerous transport businesses and the long-term consequences this will have on the ability to service the freight task in Australia safely and fairly. Without sufficient diversity in fleets, the industry risks becoming overly reliant on a handful of operators, which can hinder competition and innovation. This lack of diversity may lead to increased costs, reduced service quality, and diminished safety standards, as fewer players are left to meet the growing demands of freight transport.

Ultimately, a homogeneous fleet composition undermines the industry’s resilience and jeopardises the fairness and sustainability of the services provided, impacting not only businesses but also consumers across the country. it is imperative to elevate the conversation around the risks associated with insufficient insurance, workers compensation, vehicle maintenance and adequate training of drivers on the road.

What’s the state of play?

In an era where efficiency and speed define success in the logistics and transport sector, we know in Australia, businesses increasingly depend on trucking companies to facilitate the movement of goods.

While the allure of lower costs may seem appealing, the ramifications may be inverse to your intentions. Whether you are the freight customer or the prime contractor sub-contracting out work, consider the implications of entrusting your freight to a trucking contractor whose vehicles and drivers lack adequate insurance and workers compensation coverage. Inadequate insurance coverage is a threat throughout the supply chain, bringing financial instability, reputational risk and unrestrained personal risk.

Moreover, the issue of driver protection cannot be overstated. Drivers are the vital link and face of your logistics operations, and ensuring their health and safety should be a priority for every business engaged with trucking companies.

When drivers lack proper coverage for work-related injuries, the consequences ripple through the supply chain. Unprotected drivers may suffer from avoidable financial hardships, which can lead to diminished morale and engagement. A distressed workforce cannot deliver the excellence that your customers expect, and it can create an environment where safety protocols are overlooked in the pursuit of completing deliveries under pressure.

Fair compensation and working conditions are not just ethical imperatives; they are foundational to creating a safe and reliable workforce. The federal government has recently legislated in the supermarket sector for what is effectively reasonable cost recovery plus a fair margin. Seems reasonable!

Industry’s urgent call

On behalf of road freight transport companies, we are strongly urging supply chain customers to fully understand the implications of procurement decisions. It is imperative that you conduct thorough due diligence and closely scrutinise price variances in tenders, rather than simply settling for the cheapest.

We are aware cost considerations are important, but the long-term survival and sustainability of your business will depend on building relationships with trusted, reputable, and safe transport providers.

By prioritising freight partners who meet high standards of safety and lawful employment practices, you not only protect your own interests but also play a crucial role in upholding the integrity of the entire supply chain. It’s time to take a stand for quality and safety in our industry – your choices matter!

If you are cutting corners, are you preparing a scenario for the next accident?

The conversation around trucking is not just about cost or efficiency; it encompasses broader themes of safety, ethics, and social responsibility. By taking the time to consider these factors, businesses can forge relationships with trucking partners that align with their values. This is more than a contractual obligation—it’s a commitment to integrity that reverberates through every facet of the supply chain.

Misguided approach to the problem

The road freight transport industry is at a pivotal crossroads, grappling with a troubling rise in insolvencies that warrants immediate attention.

The alarming frequency of companies collapsing this year highlights a deeper issue within the industry—one that is often overshadowed by an overemphasis on increasing compliance and on-road safety regulations.

While it is undoubtedly crucial to enhance safety measures, focusing solely on compliance overlooks the root causes driving these failures. As businesses demand lower prices and higher service levels, the economic viability of transport providers is compromised, leading to unsustainable practices that ultimately jeopardise safety.

I encourage you all to read this Big Rigs article.

In relation to the proposed Heavy Vehicle National Law changes to accreditation standards, there are those who defend them “nothing to see here.” Opinions may vary, but the tables have shifted directly to personal director liability by asked to report how much you spent on safety in your fleet, and all material gathered in the accreditation process being available to prosecute directors.

The broader strategy appears to make circumstances harder for those who participate. Meanwhile, the fabric of the supply chain is being shredded by businesses who are unlawfully engaging drivers on ABNs, and it would appear clients are willing to accept the boundless risks that brings.

It is essential for stakeholders to urgently shift their attention from merely enforcing standards to understanding the interconnected factors threatening the industry’s foundation.

Who is going to step up and truly paying attention to this urgent call for introspection and action?

This year offers every opportunity and the QTA on behalf of our members, will continue to advocate with clarity and certainty for the attention of authorities on the real causal factors of the diminishing sustainability of the supply chain.

Gary Mahon is the CEO of the Queensland Trucking Association.

60 years for popular stop for truckies in the Northern Territory

For 60 years the Noonamah Tavern, which is located 45km south of Darwin in the Northern Territory, has been a place where truckies stop.

Spy was told about the watering hole by several interstate drivers who regularly enjoy a meal there when in the area.

I spoke to the Tavern’s Rebecca Lazar who said about 50 trucks a week pulled in.

“The truck drivers are big steak and hamburger eaters and can have a shower here and we also have lots of parking and toilets,” Rebecca said.

Noonamah Tavern employs 21 staff and is open from 10am until 10.30pm each day.

But on Friday and Saturday that extends until 1am.

“We are known as the pub which is the gateway to Darwin. There will be a big celebration for our 60th in 2026. Whether you’re rolling in from the south or heading out on the open road, it’s the perfect place to pull up, relax, and refresh,” Rebecca added.

The eatery there is known as Johnny’s Rodeo Steakhouse and offers daily specials that are popular with truckies.

Three times a year a rodeo is also held there. Along with an annual novelty event, the famous Noonamah Frog Races on Melbourne Cup Day, raising money for charity.

There are also numerous other events at Noonamah Tavern throughout the year.

Noonamah Tavern is also well-loved for its entertainment, with live music every Friday night and Sunday afternoon, along with trivia night every Thursday.

Just behind the pub sits the Noonamah Tourist Park, catering to truckies, caravanners, campers, and travellers seeking a restful overnight stay.

Wheels still turning on 1971 International

A 1971 model C1800 International is continuing to earn its keep for Tasmanian farmer Scott Hansen all year round –  even when it’s not carting pears.

For about nine months it is parked at the entrance to Scott’s farm at Nubeena, located on the Tasman Peninsula about 100km from Hobart.

Whilst stationary, the International has their business advertising signs on the sides.

For the other three months the old girl drives between the two farms run by the family.

“It has a restricted licence for travel just between our farms and is used to carry pears from here to Hobart. It had two or three owners before me and has been down here all its life,” Scott said.

A fourth generation member of the family, which has grown pears and some apples, Scott said a 2005 P4 Scania carts farm pears these days.

“We supply most of the pears to Woolworths in Tasmania and deliver them to Brighton where they are distributed. Independent stores also take our pears which are sent to distribution points at Cambridge and Hobart,” Scott continued.

The first truck the farms had was a 1930 model Morris Commercial.

“I am 64 and it worked before my time but I do have memories of sitting in it when I was a kid. The chassis is still on our property,” Scott added.

Scott’s grandfather Oscar Ernest Hansen started growing pears near Nubeena in 1920 at the same orchard.

Scott’s son Thomas is now also involved at the farms.
