Used semi-trucks form a niche but important part of the freight and long-haul logistics ecosystem. Operators in mining, agriculture, and goods transport prefer refurbished models for cost efficiency. Growth is also supported by leasing companies and vehicle auction platforms.
The used semi truck market in the Philippines is expanding due to increased logistics activities, the growth of e-commerce, and infrastructure development across the archipelago. Many transport operators, especially small- and medium-sized enterprises, are opting for used trucks to manage costs while meeting demand. Imports of used trucks from Japan and South Korea dominate the market, driven by affordability and durability. However, the market is also increasingly influenced by regulatory efforts around emissions and roadworthiness, which is encouraging buyers to prioritize newer, more efficient models.
Used semi trucks face similar barriers as used trucks, including issues with vehicle history transparency, lack of standardized valuation, and limited warranty options. Import restrictions and duties on used heavy vehicles also inflate costs, while financing access remains limited for small operators.
The used semi-truck segment offers promising returns for investors aiming to support the growing logistics and e-commerce sectors. Opportunities exist in refurbishing imported trucks, offering maintenance packages, and leasing options. Strategic partnerships with logistic companies and freight operators can provide long-term recurring income streams.
The semi-truck segment follows similar regulatory constraints as the used truck market. Importers must prove that their used semi-trucks fall under allowable exemptions and meet roadworthiness criteria. The Bureau of Customs (BOC) and LTO oversee the entry and registration of these vehicles, requiring compliance with Philippine National Standards (PNS) and Euro emission standards. Additionally, initiatives such as the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) discourage the continued use of high-emission vehicles, which includes aging semi-trucks.
