The Comité des Constructeurs Français d’Automobiles, the Automotive manufacturing association in France has released its latest market figures, with the LCV and industrial vehicle segments both outperforming 2020.
Latest Figures Released by the Comité des Constructeurs Français d’Automobiles
In the LCV segment (vehicles under 5.1 tonnes), 36,042 units were registered, representing a 30.4% increase on 2020’s performance and a 23.5% increase if we compare it on comparable working days. As for the year-to-date figures, the picture is even rosier, as the segment is 59.3% up compared to 2020 with 196,164 units sold. This is currently a common trend across Europe across most vehicle segments, with the continent having been in the peak of its lockdown during April and May of last year.
A similar story has been reported by the Comité des Constructeurs Français d’Automobiles in the industrial vehicle market (vehicles over 5 tonnes) with an 11.5% increase on May 2020 with 3,460 units registered across the month. Over the first five months of the year, the segment is now 26.9% up on 2020’s performance.
