Those of you operating within the motor trade industry will be disappointed to read that the number of new vans sold here in the UK in October 2021 reduced when compared with the same month in 2020 according to figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
In October 2021, the number of new vans sold in the up to 3.5 tonnes category amounted to 27,420. This was a reduction of 4.6% when compared with October 2020 when 28,753 new vans were registered.
However, on a year to date basis to October 2021, there was an improvement seen in the number of new vans registered here in the UK when compared with the same period last year. There were 294,656 new vans sold in the up to 3.5 tonnes category in the year to date to October 2021 compared to 236,833 sold for the same period last year – that is an increase of 24.4%. Perhaps this is hardly surprising as last year we were possibly at the height of the pandemic.
The top 5 selling vans in October 2021 were: –
1. Ford Transit Custom 4,359
2. Ford Transit 2.982
3. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1,660
4. Citroen Berlingo 1,511
5. Ford Transit Connect 1,508
The top 5 selling vans on a year to date basis to October 2021 were: –
1. Ford Transit Custom 43,862
2. Ford Transit 27,880
3. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 19,005
4. Volkswagen Transporter 18,708
5. Ford Ranger 15,302
Let us hope that the rest of the year sees an increase in the number of new vans sold here in the UK. Such sales impact on various sectors of the motor trade industry such as businesses that make and supply spare parts and the servicing departments of garages. We will continue to keep you updated with relevant statistics.
