recession over my ****

Van registrations down, trucks still sinking
January registration data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders shows vans and trucks at 13,099 in January and down 34.5% to 219,450 for the rolling year.  There were 1,553 trucks over 3.5 tonnes registered in the month, the lowest monthly total on record.  The rolling year total was down 40.6% to 33,263.  Vans up to 3.5 tonnes fared a little better with 11,546 registered in the month.  The rolling year total is down 33.2% to 186,187.  "New van and truck registrations continue to reflect a weak economic recovery and businesses reluctant to commit to new investment," said Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive.  The slow start to the year leaves truck makers "very disappointed.  It is extremely important that government uses the upcoming Budget to encourage new investment in capital goods and help re-build business confidence."
