The 10 best-selling new vans of August 2019
August 2019 was the eighth consecutive month of year on year growth for UK new van sales, Vansdirect reveals the ten best-selling new vans from August 2019!
Increase of 41% for UK new van sales in August 2019
Statistics released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) have revealed a staggering 41% increase in new van sales for August 2019, representing a staggering 8 months of year on year growth for UK new van sales in 2019!
All areas of the UK new van market benefited in August 2019, with the largest beneficiaries being small vans which grew by 52.5% last month followed by large vans with 46.8% growth, medium vans with 33.1% growth and finally pick-up trucks with 13.3% growth.
SMMT Chief Executive had his say on yet another impressive month for the UK new van sales market:
"Another month of growth for the new van market is welcome news for the automotive sector as it faces multiple challenges simultaneously. It is important to remember, however, that any percentage increase will be on a much smaller volume market in August given it is arguably the quietest month of the year. Buyers continue to take advantage of deals on the latest and cleanest commercial vehicles on the market and it is important the business environment remains strong."
