Falling
van demand easing - but trucks dive again
“New
van and heavy commercial vehicle registrations continue to fall,
reflecting the low level of demand across the UK economy. It is
extremely important that Government continues with measures to
sustain business confidence and strengthen the recovery,” said
Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive.

MAN
was the shining light in the famine that was October’s
registration figures. Without
the advantage of a stock of Euro5 vehicles to move in September
prior to the expiry of the RPC, MAN have done well to move up a
couple of places during the Autumn months.
MAN still have some way to go to make up for the 1 ¼% market
share lost so far this year.

Commercial Vehicles
There was a real turnaround of fortune for nearly
every major manufacturer in October with the exception of the top
two, Ford and Vauxhall. Now doubts over the Luton brand’s
ownership have finally been cleared up, maybe Vauxhall can get back
to business as usual and challenge Ford’s dominance of the UK
market again. The
French manufacturers all posted good results, with Citroen leading
the pack – a massive 39% up on October 2009.
As Citroen punch above their weight in the scrappage stakes,
it may prove that, when the scrappage figures are revealed, the
reduction in the scheme’s age limitation for vans will have helped
Citroen to deliver these results.
Despite Citroen’s success in October, there is a good
chance that Mercedes-Benz will recapture their fourth place in the
table from them by the end of the year.

Ford
again dominated the ‘inbetween’ category of heavy vans, whilst
every other manufacturer failed to even come close to their number
of registrations last October.
