VFACTS April – Commercial Vehicles Fly The Flag In Flailing Market

Light commercial vehicles was the only segment to see sales growth in a sluggish April that saw sales fall 5.1 percent over the same month last year.

Easter may have contributed to the result, as Easter occurred in March last year, but the long weekend cannot explain a 2.8 percent dip in overall sales year-to-date.

VFACTS reveals Toyota’s evergreen HiLux has established itself as the yardstick for 2017, heading the charts again last month with 3430 sales.

Ford’s Ranger also backed up its efforts from March with a second-place tally of 3120 units. Toyota’s Corolla was next on 2555 sales, but the Ranger overtook the Corolla for 2017 sales last month, now leading by 54 units.
