Britain’s light commercial vehicle (LCV) market grew for the ninth month in a row in September, up more than 28% according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT)
One of the most popular months for new van purchases, plate change September saw robust demand for commercial vehicles – with even more good news for electric commercial vehicles to follow in January.
The record for single month commercial EV registrations had been held by March 2023 with 2,534, but that figure was beaten by almost 14% last month. There are now close to 50,000 commercial EVs on the UK's roads.
One factor here is increased demand, but the upwards trend is also thanks to a large number of new models coming to market, seeing what was once a very small choice of models expand dramatically. Competitive commercial charging tariffs and equipment are also being made more readily available from the major operators.
Various grants, promotions and increasing model choice continues to boost demand for battery electric vans (BEVs). In September, deliveries increased to 2,882 units – with BEVs accounting for one in 16 of all new vans registered that month. Putting it way above any other month in the previous year.
