December 2012 Quarterly Commercial Vehicle Report

Feb. 21, 2013
New registrations of commercial vehicles continue to strengthen from the low point during the 2009 calendar year, albeit at a slower rate than many expected.

New commercial vehicle registrations for GVW 3-8 vehicles for the 2012 calendar year were 543,447 units and represented a 15.8 percent increase over the 469,185 units registered during the 2011 calendar year. Of significance is the lack of appreciable growth between each of the quarters in the 2012 calendar year.
