Commercial vehicle registration continue upwards trend
New commercial vehicle registrations continue to develop positively throughout Europe. According to ACEA, registrations were up 209 per cent in the European Union and up 256 per cent across Europe as a whole. While not those dizzying heights, year-to-date figures remain strong (up 45.9 per cent in the EU and up 51.1 per cent across Europe), reflecting the recovery of demand.
However, UK CV registrations figures outperformed all those trends, with registrations up more 798.7 per cent in April and 79.3 per cent year-to-date. The largest market is France, which has recorded 159,660 registrations year-to-date (up 67.5 per cent). Meanwhile Germany, Europe’s largest tyre market, reported 23,430 CV registrations in April, up 70.8 per cent on 2020’s 13,718.
