Just as the price of McDonald's Big Mac in a place can be used as a benchmark to measure the price of a place, it is roughly estimated that the economic performance of the United States is the sales of heavy trucks. As a country running on wheels, heavy trucks are the most important part of logistics transportation in the United States. The latest data shows that the sales of heavy trucks in the United States are not optimistic.

According to the data of WardsAuto, the authoritative American automobile magazine, the American class? The sales volume of 8 heavy trucks in May decreased by 62.5% year-on-year, from 24,424 vehicles in the same period last year to 965,438+065 vehicles, and in February 2065, it was 9,765,438+02 vehicles and 438+0 vehicles. The level of the car is quite the same, setting a record for the second lowest monthly sales.

Unfortunately, the month with the lowest monthly history is April 2020, with 4,000 vehicles.

The sales of other major truck manufacturers are also terrible. For example, the North American brand Freightliner of Daimler trucks sold 365,438+004 vehicles in the month, down 63.6% year-on-year.

Kenworth. Monthly sales of trucks 1277, down 65% year-on-year;

Peter Bilt? Motor sales were 1 1 19, down 71%year-on-year;

The sales volume of Volvo Trucks North America Company was 1084, down 60.2% year-on-year;

Mike. The sales volume of trucks was 879, down 565,438+0.5% year-on-year, accounting for 9.6% of the market.

All kinds of data show that the recovery period of American economy is far from coming. Some media quoted BMO, a financial analysis institution? Traffic? Finance director Dan? Clark's words show that the sales of heavy trucks in the United States have been hovering at a low level for two years, and now they have lowered their expectations for economic activities in the next year or two. In this case, the class. There is no possibility of V-shaped recovery in the sales of 8-series heavy trucks.

Although all parts of the United States started the process of returning to work in June, the wave of protests against racism and epidemics has not been alleviated, resulting in low willingness of workers to return to work. Union officials representing major automobile assembly plants in the United States said that the number of workers on strike was higher than normal, and some employees had asked to stop work because they were worried that "COVID-19" would be bad for them and their families.

Paradoxically, due to the suspension of production in the past two months, the cash flow of automobile manufacturers has almost dried up and the economy is not running smoothly, so the repayment pressure is also great. A Ford spokesperson said that the company has cooperated with the United Auto Workers' Union and medical experts on safety regulations, and said that it is recruiting more temporary workers to make up for the possible increase in absenteeism.

Toyota Motor Corporation said that since it resumed operations in May, about 40 American factory workers have tested positive for the virus. A spokesman for the company said that although there is no problem of employee absenteeism (the start-up schedule of many factories in the company is still limited), the company expects to use more temporary workers to fill the vacancies of regular employees after full production.
