2. Backdrop: Global Trucking Industry Continues to Tread Cautiously on the Recovery Path:
The U.S. heavy truck market registered a 11% decline through the first half of 2013 & a 9% contraction through the end of September in 2013 while the European market contracted by 13% during H1 & by 8% through the first 8 months of 2013 despite significant order intake across OEMs in Q2 & Q3. In the U.S. market, the freight rates have remained tepid while the freight volumes have grown moderately during Q3 with spurt in consumer spending & strong housing starts that is likely to drive replacement demand across carriers & bolster class 8 truck production subsequently, especially, with improving corporate profits.
The European market makes a key transition with the Euro 6 emission standards coming into effect from January 01, 2014. Also, the seasonal uptick in demand anticipated from November 2013 through January 2014 is likely to boost deliveries across OEMs. The OEMs, however, are maintaining a cautious stance with respect to the overall production rate with uncertainty over fiscal & monetary policy matters, especially, in the U.S. market.
