There has been some more bad news released for the motoring industry, this time it’s in the van and truck sector. Figures for truck registrations in June show falling registrations, however, van registrations are showing improvement.
The amount of trucks being registered has been falling month by month, however, the figures for June have shown the largest drop in registrations yet. With 2,761 trucks registered in June, this is a 47% decline in registrations from June last year.
On the other side of the sector, the amount of vans being registered has seen some improvment. The amount of vans being registered reached 17,158 units. This sales figure shows a 40.1% drop in registrations on June last year, however, it’s actually the smallest month on month drop so far. This means that the van sales level could be improving.
Renault was one of the main manufacturers that did well during June. They saw a massive 78.5% rise in sales during June for their van and light truck range. One model that did well for them was the very popular Renault Trafic van. The Trafic van, which recently won the 2009 Security award, is Renault’s best selling van.
The general fall of van and truck sales can be put down to a number of reasons. One is that a number of companies are waiting and watching van and truck prices to see if they continue to fall before they invest. Although the amount of companies buying vans is falling, the amount of van leasing companies buying vans is on the rise, this is because the companies that aren’t buying vans are choosing to lease vans instead.
Many companies are finding that getting out a Renault van lease is working out cheaper in the long run rather than buying a brand new van. So if you are looking for a Renault Trafic lease, you will often get a better deal because you are only paying monthly for the van, rather than paying a bulk sum for a new van.
So although many companies are not buying new vans and trucks, the amount being bought by leasing companies is rising to keep up with demand.
