In June, Ukrainians most often bought dump trucks, vans and flatbed trucks. The list of leaders includes modern models of Mercedes-Benz, MAN or DAF, as well as outdated Soviet GAZ-3307, ZIL and KamAZ trucks, which continue to be used due to lack of resources.
The most imported used truck was the Mercedes-Benz Atego. The leaders also include MAN TGL, TGS and TGX, DAF CF, Iveco Eurocargo and even some Mercedes-Benz Sprinter models.
In June, the list also included the pickup truck Tesla Cybertruck – due to its weight of more than 3.5 tons, the usual "category B" is not enough to drive it.
New trucks are dominated by models with additional equipment, such as collection vehicles, garbage trucks, hydraulic lifts, tanks, etc .
The most common brands are Reform, Intercargotruck, Everlast, and VKK Spetsmash. New trucks from Dongfeng, Sinotruk, as well as Sprinter and Crafter also occupy a part of the market.
- As of mid-2025, the average age of trucks changing ownership in Ukraine is about 18.5-19 years.
