GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Volvo Trucks was the market leader in Europe for heavy trucks (16 tonnes and above) in 2025 with a market share of 19.0% – up from 17.9% 2024. The markets with the most registered Volvo trucks during the year were UK, France, Poland, Germany and Lithuania.

In total, nearly 33,000 FH Aero trucks were ordered in Europe in 2025.

“We are very proud to be market leader in Europe for the second consecutive year. Our goal is to be our customers’ best business partner and being market leader is strong proof of the confidence our customers put in us. It makes us very proud, and I wish to extend a big thank you to our customers and our employees for this great achievement,” says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks.
