Vauxhall also enjoyed a bigger share of the market, up to 11.14 per cent, meaning that the UK is now General Motors’ fourth largest market globally, as well as its largest in Europe.

It was another huge year for Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles.  Sales of the Luton-built Vivaro van, were up 34 per cent on last year to 18,180.

Griffin-badged Police cars are a common sight on British roads, so it’s no surprise that Vauxhall is the number one supplier to Police fleets with a substantial 80 per cent market share of competitive segments.

“With sales and market share up, it’s a great way for Vauxhall to celebrate its 110^th year of building and selling vehicles in Britain,” said Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s Chairman and Managing Director.

“We’re also in the middle of a raft of new engine launches, which will continue for the next two years, making our products more refined, efficient and desirable for customers. One way or another, it’s clear that Vauxhall will be a force to be reckoned with in 2014.”
