After a strong start to the year, Ford’s dominant Transit van sees sales drop for the first time month-on-month. Both the Nissan NV200 and its sister van the Chevrolet City Express saw strong months, with the City Express shifting more than 3 times as many units than last June – though this was not enough to fill the gap between this and last year’s year-to-date performace for the little Chevy. It seems buyers are forgoing the badge credibility afforded by the Chevrolet for the slightly cheaper price of the Nissan van, which makes sense in this sector driven by commercial pressures.You can click any model name in the tables below to find historical monthly and yearly U.S. auto sales data. You can also select a make and model at GCBC’s Sales Stats page. This table is sortable, so you can rank commercial vans any which way you like. Mobile users can now thumb across the table for full-width access. Suggestions on how GCBC should break down segments can be passed on through the Contact page.
