Waiting at least four months

According to the CEO of Toyota CR Martin Peleška, most stock cars have sold out in Europe and new orders are going to production, which means a waiting period of four to eight months for the Japanese manufacturer, but for some brands they may exceed one year.

At the same time, the carmakers have started to catch up with the shortages caused by the lack of chips and are driving at full speed.

“For the whole year, we are heading for 20,000 orders, which is a historic high, and 7,000 more than our original estimate,” Peleška said in a press release.

Registrations of light commercial vehicles increased by a total of 13 percent to 17,274 vehicles.

Bus registrations are a quarter lower this year than a year ago. 868 vehicles were sold. In November, they fell by 65 percent year on year. The first is the Iveco Bus brand with 328 registered buses, followed by SOR and Setra.

Motorcycle sales rose by six percent year on year to 21,057 machines. The first is the Honda brand with 4203 registered motorcycles, the second is Yamaha and the third is CF Moto.
