Mercedes-Benz Trucks has managed to top the Australian November sales figures just ahead of Japanese rival Isuzu in the CDL category, with 236 sales and 19.6% total market sales.
Benz keeps the momentum going with its dominant 193-strong light duty vans performance (37.8%), selling exactly 100 more Vito and Sprinter than Renault on 93.
As it did in October, Kenworth keeps the throne for heavy duty sales, at 306 Victorian-built trucks, staying head and shoulders in front of Volvo on 195 Queensland-built rigs.
The medium duty segment was owned by Isuzu on 263 sales (35.3% share), a whisker ahead of Hino on 215 (28.9%) and Fuso on 127 (17%).
Overall however, Isuzu remains king of the hill in all segments in November, with 796 sales and a commanding 21.9% market share. Year-to-date Isuzu, based in Port Melbourne, has 8146 sales in the bank and a 24.4% market share. Its nearest competitor Hino sits at 4396 year-to-date and 13.2% market share.
