The number of light commercial vehicles registered in March came to 2,083, down 7% year-on-year.

For the period January-March, new passenger car registrations fell 5% to 32,670, while LCV sales dropped 10% to 4,690.

MGE said new vehicle registrations could fall 50% in April and May because of measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus, but added that the trend could reverse in the second half of the year.
