; THE UK 'commercial vehicle arket suffers heavy redundanm and short-time working, °visional estimates from the rpartment of Industry suggest at commercial vehicle producin in the UK is on a par with rt year.
In 1979, 408,400 vehicles were educed while 339,100 have en produced so far this year ntil October 25). During igust of this year, 18,500 hides were manufactured mpared with only 15,400 in 'gust 1979. The September ures are equally surprising th 25,300 vehicles being proced in 1979 and 27,500 in the me month of this year.
One manufacturer of heavy hides, currently on a one-day says that the encouraging ures are probably due to in;ased demand in the light van arket, while another ;counted the claim that cornflies are stockpiling.
JVhatever the reasons, with all t one manufacturer — Hestair ?nnis — on short-time Drking, the Department's ures do not tally with the )rking programmes of most mpanies.
