New vans for sale
Statistics released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) have revealed a decline in UK new van sales in November 2019 in comparison with November 2018 and was the third month of consecutive year on year declines for the new van market.
Despite last month's decline, UK new van sales are still up by 1.9% this year to date. Last month was an impressive month for pickups which saw an impressive 17.2% increase in registrations in comparison with November 2018 whilst small vans, medium vans and large vans all declined last month in comparison with last year by 24%, 19.4% and 11.4% respectively.
SMMT Chief Executive, Mike Hawes spoke of the potential reasons behind the declines in November, commenting:
"A third consecutive month of decline for new van registrations is concerning, particularly after growth for much of the year. Ongoing political uncertainty doesn't help inspire business confidence but this is essential if we are to embolden further investment in new vehicles which will go a long way to improving air quality in our towns and cities."
