The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association yesterday reported how Spain was one of the few countries to show growth of commercial vehicle sales during the first 8 months of the year.
For 2013 until end-August sales fell 5.5% year-on-year, however for the month of August alone sales were seen to fall 4.4% across Europe, following a positive growth of 2.8% in July. However, the Industry has defended this 'growth' as July 2013 having 1 more working day than 2012.
Sales for August in both Spain and the UK recorded growth of 10.3% and 15.3% respectively, but demand fell 5.4% in France and by 8.5% in Germany, with sales in Italy falling 19.5%.What the association failed to report, was that whilst Spain reported the highest percentage growth in August, that sales by unit remained a minor percentage of the whole.
