By GlobalDataAccording to SVA, while the general level of prices and demand remains high, businesses became more cautious and bought cheaper vans rather as opposed to taking out a loan or using their own cash to buy a more expensive van.

Those operators who work in and around London and are affected by the new ULEZ, will have to invest more money in Euro 6 vans, said Shoreham.
Vehicle remarketing innovation – Used Stock Demand
There is a growing trend of manufacturers repatriating ex-lease vehicles back into their franchise dealer network, as demand for quality used stock increases.
This is according to a report from e-commerce solutions provider epyx, which revealed that activity through its 1link Disposal Network platform and elsewhere suggests that fewer ex-manufacturer cars and vans are being disposed of through open sales to retailers.
The 1link Disposal Network is a source of trade stock in the UK, offering a range of cars and vans from leasing companies and motor manufacturers. Its service covers functions including vehicle procurement, maintenance, hire, remarketing and relicensing.
