The Polish Automotive Industry Association (PZPM) reported on the basis of preliminary data from the Central Vehicle Register that the number of registrations of new commercial vehicles over 3.5 tons in Poland amounted to 3,063 in May 2022, which means a year-on-year increase of 2.4%.

2,978 trucks were added to the register. It was the second-highest month result in the history of statistics after May 2019, when 3,196 vehicles were registered.

The bus market declined by 34.6% y / y and achieved the result of 85 items. From the beginning of the year, it was the second month with a decline after February (-28.1%). The other months recorded increases: January this year + 14%, March + 36%, April + 13%. The level was even lower than the result from May 2020, in the first year of the pandemic, when 97 units were registered. The bus market is highly unstable. The negative trend has dominated over the past three years. “It seems that the geopolitical situation will not affect its reversal”, assesses PZM.

The general increase in the number of truck registrations is mainly due to tractors, their market grew (+ 4.8% y / y) after 4 months of declines (in February this year they decreased by 22.1%, in March by 21% and in April by 21.8%). Previously, tractor registrations grew continuously for 16 months – from October 2020 to January this year. The number of chassis for trucks decreased compared to May last year (-3.4%), and the number of low-weight special car chassis increased by 82.9%. According to the data from the Central Vehicle Register Total deliveries of all trucks to recipients amounted to 2,978 units.

Since the beginning of 2022, 13,356 new commercial vehicles with a maximum permissible weight of over 3.5 t, which means a decrease (-4.7%) over the year. In the group of trucks, there were 12,860 registrations, less by 4.7% than in the same period of 2021, and the number of buses decreased by 3.5% (496 vehicles).
