October 2025 Truck Sales Grew in the Last Quarter

KatadataOTO – The positive car sales in Indonesia in October 2025 impacted several segments, one of which is commercial vehicles, especially trucks.

Based on Gaikindo data, retail truck sales in October 2025 reached 5,321 units. This number is an increase from the previous month, which was only 4,925 units.

Looking back, the market in October was the second largest this year. This is because in February, retail truck sales reached 5,288 units.

The largest demand came from trucks with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 5–10 tons. In that segment, at least 3,550 units were successfully sold, an increase from September which only sold 3,483 units.

Growth in the commercial vehicle segment in Indonesia is expected to continue until Lebaran 2026. This is because business owners usually make preparations well in advance.

“Demand for commercial vehicles usually experiences growth four months before Lebaran, because they have to prepare their businesses before the holiday,” said Aji Jaya, Sales and Marketing Director of PT KTB.
