Vans stabilising, trucks still falling
- Registrations: 17,227 in November; 225,324 for the rolling year, down 36.1%.
- Trucks: 2,063 in November; 36,594 for the rolling year, down 36.0%.
- Vans: 15,164 for the month; 188,730 for the rolling year, down 36.1%.
“Although vans are down 36% on the rolling year, the 0.8% decline in November suggests registrations have stabilised. Heavy trucks, down 60% in November, are still suffering badly as a result of weak business confidence,” said SMMT chief executive Paul Everitt. “It is vital that government uses the Pre-Budget Report to sustain the early signs of recovery in consumer confidence and enhance the capital allowances system to boost business investment.”
