With the ink drying on EOFY and Brisbane Truck Show deals, Australian truck and van sales continued their seasonal climb in June – albeit on a slightly smaller scale than last year’s records.
Nonetheless, the figures hit the 4,000 mark in the month for the second year in a row, reaching 4,072, and taking the year’s tally to 18,889, according to Truck Industry Council (TIC) T-Mark figures.
The numbers are healthy if not quite the 4,231 and 19,970 respectively in 2018, but above the levels of the previous boom year of 2008, which saw 3,671 vehicles sold in June and 18,218 year-to-date.
The figures are also up on May’s 3,556 and April’s 2,943 after March’s 3,296 and February’s 2,826.
