The Global Trucking industry has been recovering steadily from the COVID-19 outbreak while being at the crossroads of fundamental changes, disruption & transformation with trucking cruising in top gear amid booming order intake as well as freight volumes & rates and robust fleet utilization levels across fleet operators which reached pre-COVID-19 levels across most key global markets, except China. Trucking has also been facing modest headwinds in form of supply chain disruptions & bottlenecks, semi-conductor chip shortages & rising input as well as material costs which have been impeding the overall recovery momentum.
