A Good Year for the Transit Van
Van Production Slumps to Record Low
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) released figures last week showing that only 4,692 commercial vehicles (vans and lorries) were built in Britain last month; the lowest level ever recorded. The production of vans and lorries has plunged by nearly 40% since April 2009 level and an amazing 73.5% since May 2008. During the first five months of 2009, only 34,642 vans have been built. This represents a fall in van production of some 65% from the same period last year.
