Belgian tractor market stalls due to doubtful hauliers

According to figures from Febiac and the FPS Mobility, 6.1% fewer heavy trucks were registered in November: they were 257 rigids (+16.3%) and 447 tractors (-15.5%). That the rigids are still in the plus, according to Luc Serrien, marketing manager of DAF Trucks Belgium, is partly due to the fact that construction is still doing well. “That market is less infected by the doubts that are clearly prevalent among hauliers,” he says. Tractors are traditionally bought mainly by professional hauliers.
