Frequently Asked Questions

PACCAR operates in three principal segments: Trucks, Parts, and Financial Services. In 2021, the Truck segment was the largest contributor, accounting for 71% of net sales and revenues ($16.80 billion), driven by increased truck deliveries and higher average sales prices. The Parts segment (21% of revenue) achieved record sales of $4.94 billion due to strong aftermarket demand. The Financial Services segment (7% of revenue) generated $1.69 billion in revenue, with record income driven by improved used truck sales and lower credit loss provisions.

PACCAR faces several key risks, including the cyclical nature of the commercial truck market, which is sensitive to economic conditions. Competition and pricing pressures are significant. Production costs are subject to variability in material and commodity prices, inflation, and potential component shortages, such as the ongoing semiconductor supply shortage impacting deliveries. The Financial Services segment is exposed to credit risk and interest-rate fluctuations. Additionally, the company operates globally and is subject to political, regulatory, and economic risks in various jurisdictions, as well as the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

PACCAR is significantly increasing its investment in research and development, with projections of $350-400 million for 2022. Key areas of investment include clean diesel and zero-emission powertrain technologies (battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell, hydrogen combustion), autonomous driving systems, connected vehicle services, and next-generation manufacturing and distribution capabilities. The company is actively producing battery electric vehicle models and has ongoing development projects for advanced powertrains.

PACCAR acknowledges the industry-wide semiconductor chip shortage has impacted its ability to deliver products in 2021 and anticipates it will continue to affect deliveries in 2022. The company is managing this by adjusting build rates and increasing average truck sales prices to offset some of the cost pressures and ensure product availability where possible. Long-term supply agreements with key component manufacturers are in place to help mitigate supply continuity risks.
