New figures suggest that UK commercial vehicle manufacturing is experiencing a boom, with September production levels more than double those for the same month last year.
Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders' (SMMT) data revealed a total of 9,811 commercial vehicles were built in the UK last month, with the ongoing recovery in key European export markets credited with playing a large part in the sector's resurgence.
"The British commercial vehicle industry's continued recovery is great to see, with significant investment in new models reaping benefits and helping overcome structural changes," commented SMMT Chief Executive Mike Hawes.
"Manufacturers are capitalising on increasing demand for CVs across the rest of the EU – the sector’s principal export market – as well as in the UK, where registrations have grown consistently throughout this year.”
