Internet buying to impact used LCV demand

Date: 05 July 2010

LCV used vehicle disposal will becoming increasingly important, particularly for businesses which own their fleets - as this impacts on the total cost of operations, according to automotive expert Professor Cooke.

In BCA's Used LCV Market Report 2010, Cooke predicted a future for alternative providers of LCV capacity, especially with the continued growth of internet shopping which is "likely to have a significant impact on demand for LCVs".

He also identified changing pressures on LCV fleet operators as they ride out of the recession: "Will fleets be managed internally or outsourced - and to whom? Would it pass to a fleet management or leasing company? The level of outsourcing could impact on acquisition practices too."

The report also highlights the likely drivers for change in the used LCV market over the coming years. These include carbon footprint and CO2 emissions, balanced against cost and reliability issues, the potential rise of electric LCVs, road pricing and congestion charging, duty of care, fuel strategy, corporate tax and climate change.
