UK COMMERCIAL VEHICLE

UK commercial vehicle production boasts best February since 2008

February’s production boost was driven by significant demand for British-built vehicles in overseas markets. Exports increased by 188% to 10,011 units, representing 77.4% of all CVs made in the month, with more than nine in 10 (97.6%) destined for the EU. Conversely, output for the domestic market fell for the second month in a row, down -4.0% to 2,916 units, although this represented a decline of just 123 vehicles.
