In the US, we continue to re-structure our operations, and are especially focussed on de-stocking our dealers and building up high-quality distribution channels.”
While official world registrations data for the period are not yet available, the company’s estimates suggest that registrations for the six-month period have grown approximately 7%, with particular strength in Japan (+20%), Italy (+9%), UK (+5%), and all countries not covered by a subsidiary (+19%). In the US, registrations were flat.
