🚚 Introduction: Thinking Beyond Borders
The demand for reliable used Japanese trucks continues to grow across Africa, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands.
But scaling from a local exporter to a global supplier takes more than just good trucks.
You need the right systems, partnerships, and market intelligence.
In this guide, we explain how exporters can expand their truck business internationally—step by step.

Focus on markets that:
