Fuel and lube trucks are purpose-built service vehicles designed to transport and deliver fuel, lubricants, and other maintenance fluids to machinery and equipment, especially in remote or off-road work environments. These trucks are outfitted with multiple tanks, pumps, reels, and metering systems, ensuring the safe and efficient refueling and lubrication of heavy equipment in the field. This setup helps minimize downtime and boosts operational efficiency.
The primary types of fuel and lube trucks include lube service trucks, combination trucks, and fuel tank trucks. Lube service trucks are specialized vehicles designed to supply and apply lubricants to machinery at various job sites. They come in various capacities, ranging from below 10,000 kg to over 25,000 kg. These trucks are distributed through direct sales, dealer networks, online retail, and rental services. They serve various industries, including transportation and logistics, mining and natural resource extraction, agriculture and farming, and construction and infrastructure development.

The fuel and lube trucks market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.10 billion in 2024 to $2.33 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including a surge in mining activities, a growing demand for on-site fueling, an increase in infrastructure development projects, a rise in the use of construction equipment, and a heightened need for improved fleet maintenance efficiency.
The fuel and lube trucks market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to a stronger focus on equipment uptime, the increasing automation of fleet services, a rising demand for sustainable fueling solutions, the expansion of construction projects in emerging markets, and a growing emphasis on preventive maintenance strategies. Key trends in this period include advancements in telematics integration, improvements in fuel dispensing technologies, innovations in eco-friendly lubrication systems, the development of hybrid fuel and lube trucks, and progress in modular tank designs.
The growing mining activities are expected to drive the expansion of the fuel and lube trucks market in the coming years. Mining involves extracting valuable minerals or geological resources from the earth, typically from ore deposits or layers beneath the surface. The rise in mining activities is primarily due to the increasing global demand for critical minerals, such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements, which are vital for producing batteries, electric vehicles, and renewable energy technologies. Mining operations depend on fuel and lube trucks for on-site refueling and maintenance of heavy equipment, ensuring smooth operation and minimizing downtime. For example, in June 2022, Statistics Botswana reported a 30.4% year-over-year increase in the mining output index, rising from 74.4 in Q1 2021 to 97.0 in Q1 2022. As a result, the growth in mining activities is significantly driving the demand for fuel and lube trucks.
Leading companies in the fuel and lube trucks market are prioritizing the development of technologically advanced products, such as Class 7 trucks, to provide an optimal balance of power and performance. A Class 7 truck is a heavy-duty vehicle typically used for medium-to-heavy transportation tasks. For example, in March 2025, Sage Oil Vac, a US-based manufacturer of lube equipment, introduced the Class 7 fuel/lube truck. This model boasts impressive capacity with a 1,000-gallon fuel tank, 300 gallons of fresh oil, and 120 gallons for used oil, making it ideal for servicing large machinery. It features enhanced sealing systems that can endure power washing and tough weather conditions, along with a faster multistage vacuum system that operates 100% faster than its predecessors. The truck also comes with a tank fill indicator for precise loading and upgraded backup cameras to improve safety on busy job sites. Additionally, its redesigned storage solutions, sturdier work area, extended bumper, and safety ladder enhance organization and accessibility.
In November 2024, Stellar Industries, a US-based manufacturer of high-quality work trucks, acquired Elliott Machine Works for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Stellar to expand its product offerings with complementary solutions, adding value for its vendors, distributors, and customers in shared markets including mining, construction, and oil and gas. Elliott Machine Works, a US-based manufacturer of fuel and lube trucks, will further strengthen Stellar's work vehicle lineup.
