ANOTHER RECORD-BREAKING YEAR-TO-DATE FOR MERCEDES-BENZ VANS

October 14, 2016 by Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz Vans is celebrating yet another record-breaking year so far, with 26,267 vans registered by the end of September – an increase of 1.6% on the same period last year.

September has been the second best ever month for Mercedes-Benz Vans in the UK, second only to September 2015, which is a fantastic result for the brand. Last month was also the highest ever Citan sales month in the UK.

Mercedes-Benz parts sales revenue has also increased year-on-year by 2.1%, driven by increased workshop sales. Service Plan sales also are up 31% overall, compared with the same period in 2015.

In addition to this, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services has paid out a total of £214m finance volume so far this year, which is a 5.6% increase on 2015.

Steve Bridge, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Vans, said: 'I absolutely believe that we have the right products, people and processes to keep our customers' businesses moving, and our year-to-date results for 2016 prove that.

'We have also won several high-profile awards again this year, including Fleet Van of the Year at the prestigious Motor Transport Awards, so the industry clearly agrees that Mercedes-Benz Vans is the brand to be with!

'I look forward to sharing our end of year results, which are set to be our best ever.'
