The New Zealand truck market continues to establish new records.

The monthly total of 511 new registrations (GVM 4.5 tonnes-plus) is the best March result on record, a 1.5% increase on the 503 units achieved in March 2020.

New truck registrations in January tracked largely as expected, recording a stronger start to the year than in 2021, but still some way behind record numbers.

According to NZTA provisional data there were 340 trucks (with a GVM of 4.5 tonnes-plus) registered in the first month of the new year, a solid 15.2% increase on the 295 sales in January 2021. However 2019 still provides the strongest January on record for truck sales with 416 registrations.

While truck sales increased it was mixed start overall for the transport industry. Official NZ Transport Agency registration data shows that trailer registrations were down year-on-year for the start of 2022 with 86 sales being 1... ...
