Latest figures from The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) show that output in the month increased 103.6% over September last year with 9,811 commercial vehicles built.
Manufacturing for both domestic and export markets made strong gains, with volumes up 94.3% and 113.9% respectively.
Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said: “The British commercial vehicle industry’s continued recovery is great to see, with significant investments into new models reaping benefits and helping overcome structural changes. Manufacturers are capitalising on increasing demand for CVs across the rest of the EU – the sector’s principal export market – as well as in the UK, where registrations have grown consistently throughout this year.”
