2014 sees CV market return to pre-recession levels
7 Jan 2015- Commercial vehicle market grows 11.0% to 363,155 units in 2014, the highest level since 2007.
- Van market leads growth, up 18.7% to 321,686 registrations for the year.
- Truck registrations fell 26.2% throughout the year due to changing legislation.
鈥淎 continued demand for vans has seen the commercial vehicle market in 2014 return to pre-recession levels, reflecting the growing confidence of many businesses in the UK.鈥 said Mike Hawes, 91成人 Chief Executive. 鈥淭he truck market has been distorted by the introduction of Euro-6 emissions regulations at the start of the year and new type approval legislation at year end, which affected fleet renewal patterns and caused a drop in registrations. The outlook for 2015 is bright, however, with stability expected to return to the market.鈥
