Figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show CV registrations up 4.2% to 394,261 for the rolling year to the end of July, according to SMMT’s Robin Dickeson.
“Commercial vehicle registrations are remarkably strong,” said Christopher Macgowan, SMMT chief executive. “Despite mixed fortunes for some sectors, the underlying trend is that registrations are on course to maintain the record levels set last year. Trucks did particularly well in July and over the course of the year, and encouragingly, order books are good across the wider CV market.”
For the seven months to the end of July, CV registrations were up 1.9% to 227,795.
