The Italian True Fleet Market has had a tremendous 2016. Not only did it achieve its best year and its best December numbers since Italian Dataforce statistics began in 2004 but with true style and flair registered the highest monthly growth rate of 2016 with a + 45.2% against its 2015 comparative month. Passenger Car Total Market also had a standout 2016 registering 1,864,018 vehicles and delivering on its 5th consecutive year of growth.

While there were no major surprises in the 2016 Top 20 Brands there were some excellent growth rates in the year-on-year comparison. Mini managed a + 41.1 which secured them 18th place, Toyota produced + 42.5% jumping to 11th place but the largest growth came from Hyundai which delivered a + 56.4%, moving them into 20th position. This was achieved in no small part by the domination of the Tucson which accounted for a staggering 65.8% of all True Fleet Hyundai’s for 2016.
