The UK's van insurance industry may have seen a surge last month when registrations of the vehicles rose.
Figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) have shown that in January, van registrations were up 2.7 per cent, rising 3.3 per cent for the rolling year.
The most popular commercial vehicle brands during the month were found to be Ford and Vauxhall.
In total, 22,287 vans were registered, with truck registrations rising by 51.3 per cent to 4,458.
According to Paul Everitt, chief executive at the SMMT, the results are "encouraging".
"It's early days, but by the end of the year we may well have a total that exceeds the year-end average for each of the last ten years," he stated.
Recently, the motoring body reported that registrations of vehicles powered by diesel had risen by ten per cent over the last year.
