I'd go with E (although A is appealing).
A) Not sure about this one...
B) "they" is ambiguous.
C) Construction is flawed: while... but... does not work.
D) Comparing with is awkward and incorrect structure.
E) This works, since the first clause modifies the subject of the second clause.

B/W A and E, I'm confused
(A) This year, trucks are expected to account for a record 23 per cent of total motor vehicle sales in the United States, compared with a 15 per cent share ten years ago.
what does the phrase 'compared with...' modify?
(B) Compared with ten years ago, when 15 per cent of total motor vehicle sales in the United States was accounted for by trucks, they are expected this year to account for a record 23 per cent.
'they' is ambiguous
(C) While ten years ago trucks accounted for 15 per cent of total motor vehicle sales in the United States, but this year trucks are expected to account for 23 per cent of total sales, a record.
the position of 'a record' is strange.
(D) Comparing with 15 per cent ten years ago, a record 23 per cent of total motor vehicle sales in the United States are expected to be accounted for this year by trucks.
passive voice is awkward
(E) Accounting for a 15 per cent share of total motor vehicle sales ten years ago, this year trucks are expected to account for a record 23 per cent.
'accounting ...' seems to modify 'this year'. If not, I think it's the best
I'm not sure, b/w A and E, I'd pick E
