HGV registrations show some 'signs of recovery'

摘要

New HGV registrations were up by 128.7% in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 2020, in a positive sign of recovery following the pandemic. However the full revival of the logistics industry has some way to go, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has warned, pointing out that compared with the pre-pandemic five-year average, truck registrations in the second quarter of 2021 actually fell 20.1%. The increase saw 9,493 units registered, up from 5,342 in Covid-impacted 2020.
