## Description

The 2026 order cycle is widely framed as an emissions-related pre-buy story. This market asks whether 2027 turns into the expected hangover year or whether replacement demand and a healthier freight market keep orders elevated despite the tougher comparison.

## Resolution criteria

Compare total North American Class 8 net orders for calendar year 2027 to calendar year 2026 using ACT Research final monthly figures. Sum all 12 months for each year. Resolves YES if 2027 exceeds 2026. Resolves NO otherwise. Source: ACT Research monthly net order reports.
