When volume-weighting is applied, the overall truck segment (including pickups, SUVs, and vans) values declined 0.50% last week, an increase in depreciation compared to the previous week decrease of 0.39%. 

As with the car segments, fuel-efficient segments are losing value the fastest. Sub-compact and compact crossovers both had declines this past week exceeding a negative 0.85%, Black Book said. Minivans are also experiencing consistent week-over-week declines that are typical for this time of year as rental companies’ de-fleet and retail demand softens.
