LOMBARDY: RECORD NUMBERS OF REGISTRATIONS AND LOW USED/NEW RATIOS

In 2015, Lombardy continued to top the table, with excellent performances both in motor homes (up 22.7% for new registrations and 16.5% for second-hand deals over 2014), and in caravans (up 25.3% for new and 16.4% for used over 2014), acting as a driving force for the whole northern Italian market. 2015 was an excellent year at national level for the caravanning sector as can be seen from the 3,722 registrations of new motor homes and no less than 27,281 transfers of ownership. Of the Italian regions, Lombardy has one of the lowest used/new ratios both for motor homes (5.3, beaten only by smaller regions with limited markets, i.e. Valle d’Aosta and Trentino), and for caravans (6.2), which underlines what a dynamic and attractive market this is for manufacturers.
