The SMMT said that the outlook is worse for
truck registrations, which sank by 48.8 percent in January 2010,
with a total of 1,553 new trucks being registered.
January’s truck registrations are the lowest
monthly figures since July 1991, the SMMT said.
SMMT’s chief executive Paul Everitt commented:
“New van and truck registrations continue to reflect a weak
economic recovery and businesses reluctant to commit to new
investment.
“It is extremely important that government
uses the upcoming Budget to encourage new investment in capital
goods and help re-build business confidence.”
