“In the first quarter of this year, sales of Ranger medium trucks fell 10% from 5,364 to 4,660 the same quarter of this year,” he said. He attributed the fall to a decline in orders from mining companies, many of which have reined back operations due to falling coal prices.
On the other hand, the sales of the Dutro light commercial truck increased 6% from 3,400 in the first quarter of 2012 to 3,600 this year.
