Unlocking Commercial Vehicle Data & Analysis
The availability of market data for commercial vehicles can be largely attributed to ACT Research founder Ken Vieth. In the 1970s and early ’80s, Ken was the head of market intelligence at Cummins Inc., collecting market data from North American OEMs. In 1986, Ken walked away from Cummins and started America Commercial Transportation (ACT) Research Company, once again collecting market data from North American OEMs.
Since then, ACT Research has been the leader in market data, industry analysis, and forecasting services for the commercial vehicle and transportation markets. Monthly, the North American OEMs provide their market indicator data to ACT Research for Class 4-8 vehicles and trailers that include New Orders, Net Orders, Cancellations, Backlog, Build, Inventory, Factory Shipments, and Retail Sales.

ACT aggregates the data, updates the historical databases, and provides analysis and market insights, as well as a forecast of the vehicle demand to subscribing customers, providing data and information critical to understanding the markets and their future.
