April: New motor caravan and caravan registrations in the red
The new registration figures for the caravanning sector show a divided picture in the period from January to April: In the first four months of the year, the caravan sector, with a total of 7,556 new registrations, is around 10.5 percent below the result for the same period last year. The motor caravan sector, on the other hand, topped the previous year’s result by 1 percent (25,944 new registrations).
However, both vehicle segments reported a drop in new registrations in April: With 2,265 new registrations (-21 percent), the Caravan Division is significantly below the strong result of the previous year. The shortage of vehicle chassis is also preoccupying the motor caravan sector in the new year, with 25,944 new units registered (-8.9 percent), the first minus this year.
