Lorry market 2025: Volvo overtakes Scania, Renault grows by over 54%
In 2025, 29,979 new vehicles above 3.5 tonnes were sold in Poland, nearly 7% more than a year earlier. Volvo and Scania battled for the top spot.
According to the latest PZPM report, sales of new vehicles above 3.5 tonnes in 2025 came to exactly 29,979 units. That is almost 7% more than in the crisis year of 2024. The market is still 18% short of the 2023 record, but the industry is clearly getting its second wind.
What happened at the top of the ranking
- A Swedish battle of the giants: Volvo Trucks and Scania ran neck and neck. Volvo wins the overall classification and the tractor unit segment, while Scania dominates heavy chassis.
- A tie for fourth place: DAF and Mercedes-Benz each registered exactly 4,385 vehicles and share fourth place.
- Renault surges ahead: in the tractor unit segment the brand recorded growth of over 54% and delivered more than a thousand vehicles.
- Ford Trucks on the attack: the brand climbed above eighth position for the first time, thanks to strong Ford gains and a simultaneous fall in Iveco sales.
Where the market is weakening
The light chassis market (3.5–16 t) performed worst, falling by almost 11% year on year. Hauliers here are still tightening their belts.
The most important segment, tractor units, grew by 10% year on year. Polish transport is betting on the heaviest equipment, although overall sales have not yet returned to the level of two years ago.
