Number of diesel vehicles increases 13 per cent
According to the NACS Online article here, the number of diesel vehicle sales is up 13% across the country. Sales of diesel cars and SUV’s are up 13.5%.
Idaho, Montana and Nevada have the highest percentage of diesel vehicles on their roads. But the highest increase in diesel registrations came in California and Massachusetts, where increases in both states are over 20%.
According to the IHS Automotive to the Diesel Technology Forum, there are now 7.4 million diesel cars and SUVs on U.S. roads, out of a total vehicle count of approximately 250 million. That is an increase of 47.6% since 2010.
What does this mean from a fuel price management perspective? It’s important to analyze year over year Diesel volumes and consider whether or not, and in which location, to add Diesel to your product portfolio. It could be that Diesel becomes a strategic product and location differentiator.
