HGV registrations increased by 2.6% in Q2, reversing a decline seen in the first quarter of the year according to new figures, writes Peter Brown.
The SMMT said growth was driven by a rise in rigid truck uptake as the market continued to normalise following the fulfilment of pent-up demand in 2023.
A total of 11,469 new HGVs entered service; rigids rose 9.7% to 6,640 units, although artic volumes declined by 5.7% to 4,829.
