New figures suggest a growing number of people in the UK could be choosing to purchase Renault Trafic Crew Vans.
According to data from the Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), there are been an increase in the number of van and truck registrations in the UK.
In June, a total of 25,968 vehicles were registered, meaning the number for the rolling year reached 287,166.
In particular, last month's van sales rose by 7.4 per cent compared with 2010 to reach 25,968.
SMMT chief executive Paul Everitt said: "June saw the 17th successive monthly rise for new van registrations, up by 13 per cent in the month, demonstrating business confidence and commitment in the commercial vehicle market."
Truck sales were also positive, the figures showed.
These results may come as good news to those working in the industry, as British Car Auctions recently suggested there may be a shortage in the availability of three to five-year-old used vehicles due to a lack of sales during the recession.
