We're not talking big numbers here but it was an increase of nearly 40%. All brands had increases bar one and the gains were impressive. Leyland DAF had its best year since the early 1990s when they also made vans. Stellantis' Vivaro van is to the right.
LEVC had its third consecutive year of production increase, the all electric brand specialising in a taxi and van. The black cab taxi (picture below data) has legendary status while the van (to the left) is a relatively new addition to the company.
I have a soft spot for Dennis Eagle (picture to the right), a small brand known for its fine refuse trucks.
Alexander Dennis -ADL - (bus pictured just below) and Wrightbus are doing well, each producing a strong range of buses. As to why they don't seem to sell in Europe I have no idea.
Data source: SMMT, others.
