South African new vehicle sales faced a few more challenges than usual in its attempts to maintain pace this April, but the market put up a valiant fight despite it. | Wheels24
More than 37 000 units were sold in April, 4.3% more than the same month last year.Follow @Wheels24
The traditional impact of numerous public holidays during the month reduces selling days, but it was the unexpected devastation of flooding in Kwazulu-Natal that caused the most disruption in the market's fitful recovery. These local challenges continue to be amplified by the ongoing global impacts of Covid-19 and the Eastern European conflict, resulting in little reprieve from supply constraints.
Light Commercial Vehicles took the brunt of the sales impact, down 11.9% on April last year to 9 558 units. The dealers faired marginally better in the segment, down 7.1% and retailing 9 088 LCVs off the showroom floor.
