The commercial vehicle sector in Spain continues its decline. In February 2025 , registrations of trucks over 3,5 tons fell by 15,5% , with a total of 2.247 units delivered, according to data from Anfac, Faconauto, and Ganvam.
This decline contrasts with growth in other segments of the automotive sector, such as passenger cars (+11%) and light commercial vehicles (+8,9%) . According to Ganvam , this drop is due to the fact that truck registrations were brought forward in 2024, which has led to a market correction.
In the cumulative figures for January and February 2025 , the drop is 11,5% , with 4.810 units registered.
Evolution by categories
The only segment that maintained growth in February was rigid trucks over 16 tons , with a 13,8% increase and 537 units registered. Year-to-date, this segment has grown by 7,1% with 1.040 units.
However, the drop in tractor units , which represent the bulk of the market, is the most worrying:
- tractor units: 1.340 units (-22,9% in February) and 3.054 in the cumulative total (-15,8%).
- Medium industrial (6-16 tons): 309 units (-16,5% in February) and 596 in the cumulative total (-13,7%).
- Light industrial (3,5-6 tons): 61 units (-22,8% in February) and 120 in the cumulative total (-15,5%).
Ranking of brands in the tractor segment
Despite the overall decline, Volvo maintains its leadership in the tractor unit segment , with 490 units registered in February, although this represents a 13% decrease compared to the same month of the previous year.
The ranking of brands in this segment is as follows:
| Brand | February registrations | Variation (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Volvo | 490 | 13 % OFF |
| Iveco | 487 | + 36,8% |
| DAF | 470 | + 2,4% |
| Renault Trucks | 427 | + 15,7% |
| Scania | 388 | 29,1 % OFF |
| Mercedes-Benz Trucks | 383 | 54 % OFF |
| MAN | 335 | 24,2 % OFF |
| Ford Trucks | 46 | 22,2 % OFF |
| BMC | 28 |
The sharp decline of Mercedes-Benz Trucks (-54%) and Scania (-29,1%) stands out, while Iveco (+36,8%) and Renault Trucks (+15,7%) achieve positive figures in a declining market.
Conclusion
The commercial vehicle market in Spain is undergoing a correction after the growth recorded in 2024. The drop in tractor registrations , which are the driving force of the sector, reflects a lower level of fleet renewal.
If the trend continues, the sector could end the year with lower figures than in previous years. However, some brands have managed to increase their registrations , indicating that the situation can vary depending on the manufacturer and its commercial strategy.
