Following a good start to the year, Mercedes-Benz Trucks UK has continued its successful development in the second quarter.
Commenting on the latest statistics, Mike Belk, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, said: “By putting 3,623 new Mercedes-Benz trucks on the road in the first six months of the year, we continue to buck the downward trend. In pure volume terms, we’re 4% up on our performance over the same period last year, against a market that shrank by 7.8%.
“It’s also a record high for our market share – both for Q2 and for H1. Clearly operators are trusting our brand, and being rewarded with low total costs, increased safety and maximised uptime. Obviously, it’s only half-time, but all our colleagues and our Dealer network are working hard to build on this momentum and ensure that we finish the year as strongly as we have started.”
