A resilient construction sector and opportunistic lenders boosted new vocational vehicle sales in the second quarter, but dealers are still flush with inventory.
New work truck and van sales at dealerships jumped 35% year over year and 12.5% quarter over quarter in Q2, according to a report by dealer service provider Work Truck Solutions. That followed a 9.1% YoY increase and an 11% QoQ decrease in Q1.
The sales surge was attributed to the wide range of vocational vehicles needed to support strong construction activity, Work Truck Solutions founder and Chief Vision Officer Kathryn Schifferle told Equipment Finance News. Utility vans and trucks, for instance, are “used for so many different vocations,” she said.
