• Total commercial vehicle registrations grew 17.5% in February to 13,320; rolling year up 15.1% to 330,283.
• Vans drove CV growth with strong February performance. A 28.2% rise in the month to 11,731 registrations boosted the rolling 12 months by 13.8%.
• The Euro-6-induced dip in truck volumes continued in February but the rate of decline slowed from January’s 37% decline. The 12-months to February remained up 22.4%.

“Growing van registrations supported the February vehicle market as middle and heavy-weight vans enjoyed healthy registration rises, reflecting improving economic activity,” said Mike Hawes 91³ÉÈË Chief Executive. “Registrations of trucks over six tonnes continued to decline as the market adjusts to new Euro-6 legislation. We anticipate this rebalancing act to be a factor for some months yet while van volumes should remain on an upward trend.”
