As of April 18, 2026, the TruckRadar heavy-duty listing mix is led by Cummins at 28.8% of active listings (— YoY). Transmission share is concentrated in Automatic units at 66.8%. Cab type is led by Conventional (97.2%), and axle configuration is led by 6x4 (68.3%). Fleet procurement teams read the YoY deltas as early signals for parts-network depth, driver training requirements, and residual-value exposure. Dealer inventory managers use the same mix to decide which specs to over- or under-weight in the next buying cycle. TruckRadar regenerates this snapshot every 24 hours from the listing table.

Spec share is the percentage of active truck listings with a given attribute. For example, a Cummins engine make share of 42% means 42% of active trucks on TruckRadar carry a Cummins engine. Shares are computed across listings first seen in the trailing 12 months.
YoY delta compares the current 12-month cohort (listings first seen in the last 12 months) with the prior cohort (listings first seen 12–24 months ago). A delta of +2.1 percentage points means the current share is 2.1 pts higher than a year ago.
Engine make share is a leading indicator of parts-network depth and technician availability. A rising Cummins X15 share, for instance, signals that aftermarket parts will remain price-competitive and that driver familiarity with the powertrain remains high. Shrinking shares can foreshadow parts scarcity risk in later trade cycles.
The long-term trend in Class 8 is from manual and automated-manual toward fully automated transmissions (Detroit DT12, Eaton Endurant, Allison). A rising automated share typically tracks driver-shortage pressure — fleets spec for a larger pool of CDL holders who did not train on manuals.
Snapshots regenerate every 24 hours from the TruckRadar listing table. Underlying listings update continuously via dealer feeds and scrapers; the cached rollup keeps query cost predictable and the page fast.
The public page reports an all-class aggregate. Class, body type, and region slices are available to signed-in dealers in the dashboard. Private buyers can approximate a slice by filtering search results and reviewing the facet counts on the listings page.
