Good news for the market for two-wheelers. The numbers are all fresh and at the end of August, we can note an increase in sales of 1.92% over the same period in 2014.
If the first two months of the year heralded the worst of the sales side, it is clear that the market has seriously back on track as announced by Thierry Archambault, Deputy President, and Eric de Seynes, Chairman of the Motorcycle branch the CSIAM.
