New truck and van registrations continued on a downward spiral last month, figures produced by the Society of Motor Manufacturer’s and Traders (SMMT) confirm.
Trucks at 1,755 were down 63 per cent for the month and 37.5 per cent for the year to date. LCV registrations at 16,576 were down nearly 28 per cent for the month and nearly 39 per cent for the year to date.
“New van and heavy commercial vehicle registrations continue to fall, reflecting the low level of demand across the UK economy. It is extremely important that Government continues with measures to sustain business confidence and strengthen the recovery.” said Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive.
