More sales figures from the motoring industry have been released, this time for van and truck sales. Figures for truck registrations in June show falling registrations, however, van registrations are showing improvement.
The amount of truck registrations has been falling every month and the latest June figures show the largest month on month decline yet. With only 2,761 new trucks being registered in June, this is a 47% fall from June 2008.
On the other side of the sector, van registrations have seen some improvement. In June the amount of van registrations reached 17,158 units. These figures show a 40.1% fall in registrations from June 2008, however, this month on month fall is actually the smallest so far. This means that the van sales level could be improving.
One manufacturer that did particularly well in June was Renault. They managed a 78.5% rise in sales during June for their van and light truck models. One model in particular that did well was the Renault Trafic van. Renault have found the Trafic van to be their bestselling van to date, plus with it winning the 2009 Security award recently, the sales should continue to rise.
The amount of truck and van sales is affected by a number of factors. One big reason is that many companies are waiting for van and truck prices to fall again in an attempt to get the best deals. Although the amount of companies buying vans is falling, the amount of van leasing companies buying vans is on the rise, this is because the companies that aren’t buying vans are choosing to lease vans instead.
Many companies are finding that getting out a Renault van lease is working out cheaper in the long run rather than buying a brand new van. So if you are looking for a Renault Trafic lease, you will often get a better deal because you are only paying monthly for the van, rather than paying a bulk sum for a new van.
So even though that the amount of van and truck sales coming from companies is falling, the amount being bought by leasing companies is rising.
