- Bus and coach registrations grew 14.9% in February 2015, reaching 409 units.
- Year-to-date values also saw a rise, up 34.3% compared with the same period in 2014.
- Demand for converted buses and purpose-built coaches fuelled this growth, increasing 22.9% and 40% respectively.
“This second month of growth in 2015 is a positive indicator for the future stability of the bus and coach sector going forward,” said Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive. “However, due to the variable nature of the market, we will be watchful of how the sector develops over coming months.”
