“November saw van and truck volumes fall, compounding the 5% drop in the market for the year-to-date,” said Paul Everitt, SMMT Chief Executive. “This year has seen the van market re-adjust after bouncing back from recession, while truck volumes have been steady. We look forward to next year where greater stability should see the van market return to slow, but steady growth.”
