TRUCKS SALES WORLDWIDE * UK - Registrations look bleak until 2011
London,UK -Road Transport, by Ian Tonkin -19 July 2010: -- Truck registration figures will continue to fall throughout 2010, only stabilising in the second quarter of 2011, according to forecasts from the UK's truck manufacturers... The SMMT's latest figures show a 16% drop in truck registrations for the first half of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009, but Iveco's director for brand and communications, Nigel Emms, says that this year's final total is unlikely to surpass 2009's... Emms adds: "Order intake is very strong at present, but it is unlikely to boost truck sales significantly. Last year total truck sales [vehicles above 6.0 tonnes GVW] amounted to 35,000 units and we're forecasting it to be around the 32,000-mark by year-end" ...
