Global Truck Production Reports
PSR Truck Production Index is a proprietary global truck production report by region that’s prepared by analysts at Power Systems Research. There are two editions of the TPI Index report: A Global Edition and a specialized South America edition that provides additional data and analysis on the South America market, especially Brazil, Argentina and Columbia.
The TPI indices are based upon truck production in 2012 and are pulled from data contained in the PSR CV Link™ commercial vehicle database. The PSR-TPI reports are produced quarterly and measure production across six regions: North America, China, Europe, South America, Japan & Korea and Emerging Markets.
What Is Included In the PSR TPI Report?
The report covers light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles by weight class, including class 3-8 trucks and bus chassis. PSR’s analysis includes current and long-term trends as well as forecasts of future commercial vehicle demand by region.

All Regions: Prior to the spread of the Coronavirus, most regions were experiencing a slowdown in commercial truck demand. Depending on the duration of the virus, several countries are expected to slip into recession or a significant economic slowdown as a result.
Global Index: The possibility of a global recession now exists but it is uncertain how severe this may be. Some regions will fair better than others.
North America: The introduction of the Coronavirus along with an overcapacity of heavy trucks will lead to significantly lower demand in 2020. Prior to the Coronavirus outbreak, concerns about the Chinese tariffs and an overall slowdown in global economic growth were causing some headwinds for truck demand. PSR
