With one less working day than July 2013, the French Light Commercial Vehicle market is down 5% year-on-year (but stable in annually adjusted figures) to 29,705 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 220,524 units, now up only 0.4% on 2013. The Top 8 best-selling models all lodge market shares on par or below their 2014 levels, except one: potentially already boosted by the new model, the Renault Trafic is at 5.4% share thanks to 1,594 sales and overtakes the Peugeot Partner year-to-date to rank #6. On top, the Renault Kangoo leads above the Fiat Ducato, Citroen Berlingo and Renault Clio IV. There is only one foreigner in the Top 10 with the Citroen Jumper and Peugeot Boxer passing the Mercedes Sprinter to rank #9 and #10 respectively. Notice also the Peugeot 308 II up one further spot to #18, the VW Crafter up 7 to #22, Mercedes Citan up 10 to #31 and the Peugeot 2008 confirming its advantage over the Renault Captur at #57 vs. #63.
