Türkiye exported $1.731529 billion in road tractors from January through September 2026, a 25.4% increase on the same period of 2025, according to an Anadolu Agency compilation of Uludağ Automotive Industry Exporters’ Association data published on 25 October. The comparison base was $1.380823 billion. The report says the vehicles went to 56 countries.

These are road tractors used to pull semi-trailers, not agricultural tractors. AA describes the figures as an automotive subcategory compiled from exporter-association data. The distinction matters because the report is about commercial road transport equipment and its export markets, not farm machinery or tractor production in general.

Germany led the destinations. Exports there rose 21% from $247.524 million to $299.094 million. The United Kingdom was second, increasing 32.2% from $177.548 million to $234.752 million. Slovenia ranked third at $180.121 million, up 26.2% from $142.714 million, while France rose 60% to $162.358 million from $101.427 million.

Spain moved in the opposite direction: shipments fell 13.2% to $133.684 million from $154.048 million. Poland rose 56.5% to $118.276 million; Italy reached $114.539 million after a 69% increase. Belgium’s total fell 20% to $111.344 million. The Netherlands rose 241% to $92.565 million, and Norway increased 95% to $70.509 million.

The ten largest country destinations together received $1.517242 billion, or 87.6% of total road-tractor exports. That concentration means changes in a handful of markets can materially move the overall result. The Netherlands’ sharp percentage rise, for example, comes from a smaller base than Germany’s much larger sales value; percentage growth and market size tell different parts of the story.

A separate 8 October OİB bulletin reported total automotive exports of $31.145 billion for January–September and $292 million in September exports for the tractor-unit category. Those figures provide a sector snapshot but do not replace AA’s nine-month unit series. The source reports export values, not vehicle counts, average selling prices, production volumes, profit margins or domestic sales, so it cannot identify whether the value increase came mainly from more units or higher prices.
