Sales of new trucks in the
3500-9000kg category are also up this year – but not by as much as their
bigger brothers in the heavy (over 23,000kg) an mid-range
(9001-23,000kg) categories.
Also showing the way in the light
trucks segment is Isuzu, the Japanese maker well clear of the rest of
the market on 222 sales, up from 187 in the first eight months last
year.
Next came Mitsubishi Fuso on 128 sales, up from 118 last year, and Hino on 99, up from 62 in January-August 2012.
Making
up the top five best selling light trucks are Mercedes-Benz in fourth
position on 95 sales, up from 62, and Fiat on 80 registration so far
this year, up from 65 light truck sales YTD in 2012.
