Announcing the result, Volvo Trucks said it was the largest seller in the European market (the European Union plus UK, Norway and Switzerland) of heavy trucks 16 tonnes and above in 2025, improving its market share from the 17.9% it enjoyed 2024. The European markets with the most registered Volvo trucks during the year were the UK, France, Poland, Germany, Lithuania and Spain.
