Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Mercedes MCV took the next positions with shares between 3.5% and 2.9%, while Suzuki, Shacman, and Volvo claimed the remaining spots.

Numbers from AMIC's latest report tell a clear story about Egypt's commercial vehicle sector. Chevrolet captured a commanding 77.1% market share in truck sales during the first half of 2026, moving an impressive 12,298 units. No other brand came remotely close to matching that volume in the six-month period.
The Battle for the Remaining Share
Competition behind the leader remains intense. Toyota secured second place with a 4.6% share, selling 736 trucks, while GMC followed closely with 644 units and 4% of the market. A gap of just 92 vehicles separates the two rivals. The closeness shows how competitive the chase for second place has become.
Mitsubishi landed in fourth position with a 3.5% share, delivering 552 units. Right behind it, Nissan posted 523 truck sales and a 3.3% market share. Both Japanese automakers are clearly fighting for the same customer base. The results show just how balanced that battle is.
Where Do the Other Brands Stand?
Sixth place belongs to Mercedes MCV. That sold 459 vehicles for a 2.9% stake in the market. Suzuki follows in seventh with 287 trucks sold, representing just 1.8% of total sales. These figures suggest steady demand from small and medium businesses across Egypt.
The remaining spots show a long tail of smaller players. Shacman took eighth place with 135 units and a 0.8% share, while Volvo rounded out the top nine with just 90 trucks and 0.6% of the market. What stands out is the extreme concentration around one dominant brand, with every other competitor fighting for smaller pieces of a fragmented market.
