Le marché belge du tracteur routier plonge de 25% au premier semestre 2002 Le marché belge du camion (camionnettes lourdes, porteurs et tracteurs) a régressé de 21,2% au premier semestre 2002, chutant de 7.274 unités (au premier semestre 2001) à 5.732 unités. C’est une baisse beaucoup plus nette que ce que prévoyaient la plupart des constructeurs à la fin de l’année passée. Ils s’attendaient à une baisse de 10 à 15% pour 2002. Il se pourrait qu’ils aient raison malgré tout: la plupart des marques remarquent une certaine reprise des commandes ou à tout le moins de l’intérêt des transporteurs pour des nouveaux véhicules. Notons que c’est dans le secteur du tracteur que la baisse a été la plus forte: -24,8%, de 3.682 à 2.767 unités. C’est ce qui ressort des statistiques que vient de publier la Febiac.
