2019 U.S Commercial Van Sales Analysis
Report Updated: With all 2019 Sales Data on January 3rd, 2020
The commercial van segment was down for the month of December. When you look at the segment over the course of the year, you’ll see that 2019 was a very good year for the segment.
December was a bit of an outliner. The segment has seen strong sales numbers all year long. Not wildly strong, but consistent gains in most months. In December, however, the segment was down about 1,800 units. When you look at the year itself, you’ll see that sales rose by 56,000 units.
The Ford Transit is the segment leader by a long shot. It was up for both the month of December and the year. The next closest model is the Chevrolet Express van, and it didn’t even come close to Ford’s model in terms of volume.
We expect the same kinds of sales numbers in 2020. Commercial van sales should stay strong.
