Demand for used light commercial vehicles has grown in Russia

Russians have become more interested in some types of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) on the secondary market. In December 2025 and January 2026, the demand for certain types of equipment increased by one and a half to two times compared to the same period last year, and the average price decreased to 970 thousand rubles (-7.6%). Experts from Avito Special Equipment told Izvestia about this on February 17.

So, in the first two months of winter, interest in LCVs increased by 60%, and in some types of light trucks — even more. For example, interest in awning trucks has almost doubled, for insulated trucks — by 81.3%, for on—board trucks - by 72.7%. Industrial vans grew along with the market (+57.5%), while all—metal vans increased by 35.8%.
