The number of vehicles delivered by Volvo Trucks rose in June by 11 per cent, new company data has revealed.

According to the vehicle manufacturer's latest update, the firm witnessed a significant increase in demand for its models during June, with 10,809 registered with buyers worldwide.

European sales increased by three per cent in comparison to the same month last year at 2,768, while deliveries to North America were up by 16 per cent for the first six months of the year (2,768 trucks).

The vehicle manufacturer reported its Asian sales also saw growth, with a 16 per cent rise in June to 1,005 vehicles. At the same time, South America proved the biggest growth market for the company during the month, with a 57 per cent increase on the same period last year to 2,428 trucks.
