EPA rules help drive chassis aftermarket

As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations on reducing emissions from Class 6-8 trucks approach their final implementation phase in 2007, the trend of pre-buying trucks is becoming more prevalent. As replacement opportunities increase with the age of the truck, unit shipments for Class 6-8 truck chassis systems and components in the short to medium term will increase.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, North American Class 6-8 Truck Chassis Systems and Components Aftermarket, reveals that this market earned revenues of $2.401 billion in 2005 and estimates to reach $2.740 billion in 2012.
