For the first time ever on BSCB I can share with you official sales data for Tanzania. In 2014, the Tanzanian new vehicle market is up by a solid 12% to a still shy 3,762 registrations. The segment with the largest sales is pick ups with a 42% share of the market, however this is declining as it was 44% in 2013. Trucks follow with 28% vs. 22% in 2013, overtaking SUVs plunging from 27% in 2013 to 18% this year. Note passenger cars (called saloons) only represent 5% of sales… A logical assumption is to place the Toyota Hilux atop the Tanzanian sales charts, given the popularity of both the segment and the brand in the country.
