Commercial Vehicle Registrations: October 2024
During October 2024, 2,932 new light trucks were registered in Sweden, representing a 30% decline compared to the same period last year, according to the Mobility Sweden report. This is now the sixth month in a row with negative figures for this vehicle category, which could be due to the weak construction industry, which affects many subcontractors and demand. From January 2024 to October 2024, light truck registrations declined by 9%.
Heavy truck registrations increased by 60% in October 2024, with a total of 501 new registrations. The sharp increase is largely due to the new EU requirements for tachographs from September, which led to record-high registrations in August. From January 2024 to October 2024, the number of heavy truck registrations declined by 23%.
Bus registrations had a strong month compared to the same period last year, with 68 new bus registrations, 62% more than in October 2023. However, the number of bus registrations from January 2024 to October 2024 declined by 29%.
