What has happened over the last year is companies have stopped renting trucks and this has seen an increase in the sales of second hand trucks, When large companies start to look again at rental then you will find many companies will look at this market again. As what has happened in California with the air will happen in other western countries so like California many truck will not be allowed if they are to comply with the reg's. With the lager trucks the newer more modern trucks are a lot more fuel efficient and cleaner so again by looking at a older truck the customer will have more down time and more cost's incurred. The rental market is where the big changes will be,this market will take some time though to get back to the sales of before maybe 2015
