One of the major truths of the car industry is that growing segments attract more new models. The car companies circle the market like hungry sharks looking foremerging segments they can attack, whether it be multipurpose vehicles (MPVs) in the 1990s or crossovers in the past decade. However, something very strange is happening in the UK pick-up market. Manufacturers seem to tripping over each other in a race for the exit, yet UKsalesare actually healthy. Whetheryou compare pick-up registrations with those of cars or vans, there is clearly no shortage of demand (see table). |
