* UK - The time is right says DAF
Wrexham,Clwyd,UK -HGV UK -September 3, 2009: -- British truck operators have only a few weeks left to take advantage of Government assistance to buy a new truck, assistance, which could be worth ₤3,000 or more over the life of a heavy truck... The support comes by way of a Reduced Pollution Certificate (RPC) for Euro 5 trucks, which pays up to ₤500 per year for the life of the truck. But the RPC is only available for trucks registered by 30 September 2009... Once Euro 5 becomes mandatory from October 1st, the RPC scheme comes to an end, so anyone considering a new vehicle in the near future would be well advised to move quickly to capitalise on this one-off opportunity, says DAF Trucks Marketing Director Tony Pain...* India - Truck sales rise 13% in August
Kolkata,India -The Hindu Business -Sept. 3, 2009: -- Having posted an 8 per cent growth in July after almost a year, truck sales (including multi-axletrailers) increased by 13 per cent to 17,549 units in August compared to the same period last year, according to the Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training (IFTRT)... Truck sales were down 38.22 per cent, 55.02 per cent and 62.50 per cent during April-June 2009, January-March 2009 and October-December 2008 quarters... According to IFTRT, for the first time since the crash in October, the heavy multi-axle vehicles segment (25.2-31 tonnes), the industry growth-engine in terms of both value and volume, posted a marginal growth in sales at 0.53 per cent. Sales of medium commercial vehicles (15-16.2 tonne) continue to be lower than last year... The performance would have been better but for a sharp decline in sales of tipper trucks — used by the construction industry — in both MCV and HCV category. Compared to August 2008, sales of tipper trucks were down by 17 per cent in the HCV segment and 47 per cent in the MCV segment respectively..
