True Fleet in Germany swings to positive as the roller coaster ride continues
Somehow the trend for the German True Fleet Market for July was predictable. The roller coaster ride is still in full swing.

The year-to-date growth of + 2.0% is remarkable taking into account that 2016 is a challenging benchmark as it provided…

The UK True Fleet continues to suffer negative growth in 2017
While the rest of the EU-5 has swung back into positive growth for May the UK is still dealing with negative growth, perhaps fuelled in part by consumers with eyes on June’s snap election.

April’s True Fleet feeling the effect from three negative elements
With April bringing a triple combination of negative elements to effect the market it was perhaps a foreseeable downturn for the both the Total Market and True Fleet. Three less business days, the usual hangover from the UK plate change plus the somewhat confusing new Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) all contributed to the less than stellar - 19.8% for the Total market. While True Fleet suffered with a - 25.1%…

True Fleet Market Germany: Easter holidays are affecting April results
Three working days less compared to April 2016 had undoubtedly a serious (negative) impact on April `17’s performance.

As a result, the year-to-date fleet performance turned slightly negative ( 1.0%).

True Fleet Market France: One of the last bastions of Small Cars
A decline by - 1.2% compared to March 2016 is surely not a reason for getting euphoric but at least this is a better result for True Fleets in France than in the first two months of 2017. It’s fair to say that the first quarter was challenging for fleets with a drop of 6.7% while the passenger car registrations on private households increased by 3.1% in Q1 (+ 3.6%…

French True Fleet Market stumbles out of the blocks in January
