LCV sales offer glimmer of hope
Despite the pessimistic outlook for the UK economy, sales of LCVs in 2007 suggest this sector of the automotive industry will continue to boost motor sales.
New SMMT figures show van registrations were up 3.2 per cent to a record 337,741 units in 2007, and December sales were up 3.5 per cent to 22,320.
The SMMT predicted good registration figures for 2008 with strong order books.
