Top 15 Truck Manufacturers In The World For 2023

The truck trade is a heterogeneous industry and not as manageable as people might usually think. To achieve success, the trucking business requires putting in a lot of risks, resources and must be managed all the time.

Trucks are an essential part of filling in commercial and transportation needs. You might be aware of a couple of truck manufacturers, but to choose the best for your operation, it is necessary to cater as much information as possible to the right truck brand. So, to get you the right help, I’ve jotted down some of the top truck brands in the world.

Take a look!

1. Tata Trucks

The one to top the list of best truck brands is none other than TATA Motors.

Amidst their incredible contribution to the economy, the 1st largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in India, TATA Motors, has recently launched their extensive new range of 21 new products and variants inclusive of seven carriers in the Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M&HCV) segment.

Recently the company even announced the news of board approval on the plan to transfer the EV business to Switch India to integrate the capacities of the brand EV business.

Hindustan Motors, based in India, is a leading automobile manufacturer established back in 1942 by B. M. Birla. Later in 80’s the brand collaborated with Isuzu to produce JCS trucks in India. What made these trucks stand out was the modern metal cabin, which wasn’t common with other commercial vehicle manufacturers in India at that time.

Although the trucks were known for reliability and great fuel economy, they were eventually discontinued due to falling sales as not being able to keep up an affordable price range. However, this wasn’t the only reason for the collapse; poor service facilities also added fuel to the misfortune of HML.
