Total sales in Australia’s Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment dropped considerably in November this year, when compared to November 2018. Just 19,065 LCV units were sold last month, which is a dramatic 8.8 per cent drop compared to the same month last year. This correlates with the other segments across the board, marking the 20th consecutive month of decreasing sales.

The chief executive of the FCAI, Tony Weber, said the market is tough at the moment, but he remains optimistic.

“The industry has been looking for a lift for some time now and has activated multiple levers to achieve some stimulation, including incentives, sales and special vehicle editions,” he said. “However, the appetite for new vehicles remains suppressed.”

Weber added that there has never been a better time to purchase a new vehicle.

“With over 60 brands and more than 350 models, the Australian market is one of the most competitive in the world. This is great news for consumers who have an abundance of choice and pricing options when it comes to selecting a new vehicle.

“Now, with the holiday season upon us, is a great time to act,” he said.

On the year-to-date sales charts, the Ranger, Hilux and Triton remain the best-selling 4x4s.
