Vehicle Registration Statistics

March
2009 “UK
demand for vans and trucks remains low,” said Paul Everitt, SMMT
chief executive. “Trucks
are down 37% this year, with vans down 46% on the volume at
quarter one 2008 and we think registrations may drop further.
It will take time before the Chancellor's financial
stimulus policies work, so we need the government to do more to
stabilise markets and give firms and households the confidence to
buy.”

DAF,
Iveco and especially Mercedes are still faring better than the
manufacturers with smaller market shares.
It is important to consider that we are still comparing
against what were record registrations this time last year in the
new truck market. As
2009 develops, these massive percentage losses will even out –
compared to most other years these registration figures do not
look nearly as bad.

Nissan’s
figures have finally headed south alongside every other van maker.
March was just a question of who performed least badly.
Citroen, VW and Peugeot all gained market share, as did
Ford at the top of the table.
Roll on any signs of improvement that make the registration
information more pleasant reading!
