Isuzu Trucks has maintained its leadership in the declining new truck and bus market, which saw a more than 14% year-on-year decline in February 2016.
There were 303 new trucks and buses registered in February 2016 as opposed to 354 new units in the previous corresponding period.
Isuzu Trucks saw a near 25% decline year-on-year from 89 registrations in February 2015 to 67 in February 2016.
Hino saw a 20% decline from 40 registrations in February 2015 to 32, and Mitsubishi Fuso saw a 32% decline from 37 registrations.
Only four heavy truck and bus brands saw their February 2016 registration tallies improve.
Mercedes-Benz saw its registrations increase from 11 in February 2015 to 22 in February 2016, and Kenworth grew from 10 registrations in February 2015 to 15 last month.
DAF also saw an improvement from 15 registrations in February 2015 to 21 in the same period this year, as did Iveco trucks, up from 8 units in February 2015 to 12 in February 2016.
Year to date the registration numbers of new truck and buses has dropped from 732 units in February 2015 to 670 units in February 2016.
Isuzu sits at the number one spot in the market year to date on 115 registrations as opposed to 154 in the previous period, followed by Hino on 70 rather than 83 at the same time last year and Fuso sits on 52 as opposed to 74 in the previous corresponding period.
However Mercedes-Benz has improved its February year to date tally from 31 in 2015 to 46 registrations this year, as has DAF from 30 registrations to 47, and Kenworth from 36 to 44.
These increases may be a reflection of new heavy trucks ordered last year finally coming through the over burdened body builder pipeline and going into service.
