Commercial Vehicle Auctions combines plant and truck sales

摘要

Commercial Vehicle Auctions (CVA) has introduced a new combined plant and used truck sale at its Doncaster sale site to get more stock in front of a wider audience. The first of the new format sales, which saw running and static plant sales paired up with the regular truck auction, was held on 22 October. At the event, 55% of all stock was sold, generating a total of £850,000. Speaking about the new format auction, CVA MD Ross Dalton said: "We've noticed that our truck buyers will buy the odd bit of plant if it's in a truck sale, but they buy it in a very ad hoc way. None of the plant buyers buy those items though, because they just don't come to the auctions. That's why we thought about putting more product in front of them both. It doubles our crowd, creates extra buyers and should lead to more stock, as success will breed more success."
