“November saw the commercial vehicle market continue on its upward trend with 19.1% more registrations in the month,” said Paul Everitt, SMMT Chief Executive. “Both the van and truck market saw growth, building on the strong market we’ve seen throughout this year. London’s new Low Emission Zone comes into effect on 3 January, requiring drivers of older vans and trucks to upgrade their vehicles, so we expect to see a slight last minute boost to registration levels.”
