According to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), commercial vehicle registrations across the EU declined by 4.2% on a monthly basis to 170,122 units in December.
Data showed that demand for new commercial vehicles increased in Germany (4.7%) and Spain (2.3%) while it decreased in Italy (9.4%) and France (2.1%) in December.
In 2020, the EU commercial vehicle market shrank by 18.9% on an annual basis to stand at 1.7 million units. This was because of the fact that the pandemic weighed heavily on the automotive industry during last year.
All major EU markets saw visible contractions in 2020. Among the four major markets, Spain was hit the hardest (26.1%), followed by France (16.9%), Italy (15.1%) and Germany (14.8%).
