- March total CV registrations: up 25.3% to 48,756; rolling year up 22.7% to 276,584.

“March delivered continued recovery in van and truck registrations, with heavy vans and artic tractors leading the way,” said Paul Everitt, SMMT Chief Executive. “Other sectors did well but there are more signs of demand dropping for light and medium vans and trucks as the market polarises, driven by the need for the greater operating efficiency of maximum capacity vehicles.”
