The sales of new vans in January increased by 1.2%, according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
January saw 21,363 new light commercial vehicles registered.
Heavy vans weighing between 2.5 and 3.5t, which make up the bulk of the market, rose 5.6% in the first month of the year.
Pickups’ popularity continued to increase following a successful 2016, with registrations increasing 28.9%.
Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said: “Vans are the backbone of British business so it is positive to see the strength of the market continue into 2017.
“With the success of the sector so closely linked to business confidence, government must ensure the conditions that have delivered this growth are maintained.”
