All doubts that commercial vehicle sales are in boom territory<br />
again can be put to rest, with the March total topping the last<br />
comparable peak and the first quarter being the sec<strong>on</strong>d best<br />
March comes in at 3,558, above March 2018’s then all-time high of<br />
3,447, while the quarter hits 8,325, just below 2018’s 8,675, according<br />
to Truck Industry Council (TIC) T-Mark statistics.<br />
This marks a sizzling return to form after total figures dropped<br />
successively over the past two years.<br />
March<br />
Across the sizes, Isuzu is in new territory, with 820 units for the<br />
m<strong>on</strong>th and 2,034 KENWORTH for the quarter, just above 2018’s 817 and 222 2,006<br />

and significantly higher than last year’s 640/1,714. The market leader<br />
has seen its m<strong>on</strong>thly totals rise str<strong>on</strong>gly, with January at 500 and<br />
February at 714.<br />
One step down, Hino’s dynamic is slightly different as its efforts to<br />
bridge the gap make some headway. Hino’s 551/1,326 against 2018’s<br />
440/1,181 is a higher margin <strong>on</strong> 2018 than Isuzu, though its jump from<br />
last year’s 414/996 is <strong>on</strong> a par with the market leader.<br />
Fuso, too, is in <strong>on</strong> the act, though some good work in March 2019,<br />
with 404 units for the m<strong>on</strong>th, spoils the symmetry. Still, it has 387/925<br />
against 2018’s 373/867.<br />
HEAVY DUTY<br />
The big noises are slightly muted compared with the market<br />
generally, but still pretty healthy.<br />
This year’s 1,035/2,437 are below 2019’s hot 1,186/2,916 and 2018’s<br />
almost equally hot 1,174/2,903, making it third best in five years. Again,<br />
the growth over three m<strong>on</strong>ths sees a near-doubling of m<strong>on</strong>thly sales,<br />
with January at 597.<br />
Segment leader Kenworth is forging <strong>on</strong>, with 222 for the m<strong>on</strong>th<br />
above the next highest March, 2018’s 212. Though, the quarterly total<br />
of 497 is well below 2019’s 572 and 2018’s 551.<br />
The effect of Volvo’s loss of momentum last year is still evident but<br />
there are signs of a resp<strong>on</strong>se, with m<strong>on</strong>th-<strong>on</strong>-m<strong>on</strong>th figures rising as<br />
they should from January’s 93 units, albeit slowly. But March’s 112/314<br />
is a l<strong>on</strong>g way off the five-year peak of 200/491 in 2019.<br />
Also feeling the pressure <strong>on</strong> these comparis<strong>on</strong>s is Isuzu, at 102/292.<br />
Again, it’s not a patch <strong>on</strong> 2018’s 169/427, more a c<strong>on</strong>tinuati<strong>on</strong> of<br />
