Despite these headwinds, PACCAR maintained profitability for the 82nd consecutive year, reporting net income of $1.30 billionb ($3.74 per diluted share), a decrease from $2.39 billion in the prior year. The company's Parts segment saw a modest 3% dip in sales, while the Financial Services segment experienced a revenue increase, largely due to higher used truck sales in Europe.
Looking ahead, PACCAR anticipates a recovery in the truck market, projecting U.S. and Canada Class 8 retail sales to increase to 250,000-280,000 units in 2021, up from 216,500 in 2020, with similar expectations for Europe. The company is also strategically investing in future growth areas, including electric and hydrogen fuel cell technologies, as well as autonomous driving systems through a partnership with Aurora. Capital expenditures and R&D spending are planned to increase in 2021 to support these initiatives.
