63 AUTOMAKERS Trucks, buses and motorcycles gaining a hold in the rental sector This year ABLA begins the process of identifying how many trucks, buses and motorcycles are in the rental sector. Under current traffic law for what is known as category D or E when driving a truck or bus, in addition to the insurance coverage / risk for motorcycles, there is effectively no regular daily rental of such vehicles. ABLA has discovered that this niche is represented in the other 56% of the sector which accounts for fleet management, whether for companies or governmental agencies. Mindful of the market, automakers have begun to monitor it and to pay more attention to sales for this type of lease. VW-MAN has identified sales of more than 1,250 units, and Ford Trucks is preparing its invoicing system to identify rental companies among its other business clients. Honda Motorcycles is also working so that in the next Yearbook these figures can be included.
