The Global Medium & Heavy Truck market valued at around $100 billion in 2014, and projected to grow at 3.1% CAGR through 2024. The global trucking industry is driven by strong fundamentals & has long term, sustainable growth drivers given the key role played by the transportation industry towards economic growth & development globally.
