New Zealand’s new truck market continued to be strong in September – staying ahead of last year’s sales. 

The month saw 514 registrations of heavy trucks above 4.5 tonnes GVM, compared to 476 in September 2018.  That carried the year-to-date total sales at the end of September to 4086, compared to last year’s 3965.

Sales in New Zealand’s new truck market remained strong in August, keeping 2019 sales at record levels.

Total registrations for the first eight months of the year ran to 3572 trucks in the overall market (4.5 tonnes-maximum GVM), according to official NZ Transport Agency registration data – a new year-to-date benchmark, albeit just 2% up on last year’s 3489 regos at the same point.

The month itself saw 476 trucks above 4.5t registered – down on August 2017’s record 508.

The heavy trailer market, on the other hand, continued its downward trend – the 125 registrations for the month well down on August 2018’s 166.
