As you’d expect, January begins with an increase in changes by type of vehicle across the Dealership networks. There are 349 changes vs 274 in December giving us over 15 changes per business day.
A notable highlight this month? Commercial vehicle dealerships saw the biggest net gains, as LCV and truck volumes climbed. Passenger car networks showed an increase too, as always making up the bulk of movements.
