London,EN,UK -Tyrepress -September 9, 2011: -- Said Sue Robinson, Director of the RMI National Franchised Dealers Association which represents commercial vehicle and franchised car retailers across the UK, commenting on the SMMT’s van and truck registration figures... The latest new van and truck sales figures show month on month sales .. Robinson continued: "In the van sector 2-2.5ton vans saw a massive increase of 52 per cent. Larger vans (up to 3.5ton) also performed well with sales increasing by 19.3 per cent. Year to date larger vans are up by 23.3 per cent. The slowdown in growth in August may indicate a slowdown in corporate van purchases... In the truck sector 6-16ton trucks saw a massive increase of 57 per cent. Year to date 6-16ton trucks have only seen a 6.8 per cent increase. The substantial rise in this month’s sales indicates greater confidence held by smaller businesses and owner operators that tend to purchase these kinds of vehicles. Another encouraging indicator in the heavy truck sector comes from large rigid trucks (over 16ton) where year to date sales have increased by 23.5 per cent. This could indicate that the construction trade is picking up and demand for this type of truck is increasing. Throughout the year articulated tractor units have been the best performer in the overall truck sector with an increase in sales of nearly 88 per cent year to date"...* China - Car sales accelerate by 4.1%

Growth in China’s auto sales slowed down in the first seven months of this year after last year’s 30 perсent surge mainly beсause of the expiration of government inсentives on smaller-engine models and subsidies for vehiсle upgrades... In the first eight months of this year, сarmakers sold 3.3 perсent more vehiсles, totaling 11.9 million units, the CAAM’s figures showed...
