The double-cab pick-up market is heading for a shake-up as new Chinese entrants seek to capitalise on tougher emission standards with electrified versions.
The UK market for pick-up trucks has been surprisingly resilient this year, with sales up 10% in the first six months to 20,902 despite an overall slump in light commercial vehicle sales.
Demand was led by the Ford Ranger, which was the UK’s third best-selling LCV overall, according to figures from automotive lobby group the SMMT. The Toyota Hilux was the next best-selling pick-up in seventh place overall.
