• UK commercial vehicle (CV) manufacturing output up 12.6% in December, the first month of growth since July 2013.
• Output fell 19.7% in 2014, but month of growth heralds bright future.
• Growing demand at home helped to drive December growth, despite deflated export markets.

“The growth of commercial vehicle manufacturing output in December represents a turning point in the sector’s fortunes,” said Mike Hawes, 91���� Chief Executive. “A ramping up of new model production, as well as a thriving home market, is expected to yield a stronger 2015, while the effects of restructuring in 2013 will no longer be felt.”
