The market for high-performance trucks is growing at a CAGR of more than 3% during the forecast period, 2020-2025.



Key Highlights

  • In the beginning, trucks were essentially only for heavy-duty work. Modern automakers have adapted this vision with the introduction to high-performance lorries, which can be used as an everyday vehicle and offer higher comfort with seating for five people, improved interiors, and improved fuel efficiency.
  • Pickup trucks have been on the market for more than a century but were never meant to be high-performance vehicles. Increasing demand for high-performance commercial vehicles from the manufacturing and industrial sectors is majorly pushing the sale. North America is leading the high-performance truck market. The increasing demand for performance trucks has also helped to increase export from the United States.
  • The commercial trucks are also getting modified for the internal engine components with new pistons, connecting rods, camshafts, and other equipment to enhance performance and adequate boost. The primary characteristics of a pickup are large cargo capacities, heavy-duty components, and prolific ground clearance. The demand for downsized engines and the rampant use of additional power trains to boost the engine have brought about the evolution of high-performance trucks in recent years.
