Total new commercial vehicles
| In June 2022, EU commercial vehicle registrations tumbled by 22.5% compared to June 2021, counting 144,210 units. This fall is mainly due to the drop in sales of new vans (this segment accounts for 80% of total commercial vehicle registrations), which offset the growth in truck registrations. The four largest markets in the EU suffered double-diit losses: Spain (-26.9%), Germany (-26.1%), Italy (-21.3%) and France (-20.9%). |
| During the first half of 2022, European Union commercial vehicle registrations retreated (‑20.3%), as most EU markets recorded declines, including the four major ones: Spain (‑30.4%), France (-22.1%), Germany (-18.8%) and Italy (-10.3%). |
New light commercial vehicles (LCV) up to 3.5t
| Registrations of light commercial vehicles in the EU saw another decrease in June (-26.8%), with 115,080 units sold. The key markets in the region all contributed to the weak overall result by posting declines. Spain witnessed the highest percentage loss (-32.4%), followed by Germany (-31.6%), Italy (-25.3%) and France (-21.9%).
From January to June, the EU market for new light commercial vehicles shrank by 23.9%, totalling 653,731 units. The negative cumulative result is reflected in all four key markets across the EU: Spain (-35.4%), France (-24.4%), Germany (-22.1%) and Italy (-11.6%). |
New heavy commercial vehicles (HCV) of 16t and over
| In June, registrations of new heavy trucks grew by 4.6% across the European Union, reaching 22,482 units. The four major markets in western Europe recorded mixed performances. Spain posted the highest percentage gain (+30.8%), followed by Italy (+10.2%). By contrast, France posted a decrease by 8.2%. Germany on the other hand remained stable (+0.1%). Poland – which is the largest market for heavy trucks in Central Europe – contributed to the positive performance of the region by posting a double-digit increase (+10.4%).
Six months into 2022, new heavy truck sales in EU saw modest growth (+0.4%), totalling 128,501 units, benefitting from the positive performances of the last two months. Nonetheless, the four major markets in the region showed various results. Spain and France posted gains (+5.9% and +2.6% respectively), whilst Germany recorded negative growth (‑3.3%). Italy remained unchanged compared to June 2021.
