This month's October industry report contained some facts we thought you might interesting.
Our first section gives you some insight into vehicle sales comparisons between retail and commercial.
In the second section we look at sales by fuel type (especially interested in electric) and the third is the leaders in each vehicle range (and what the industry sees those ranges as.)
Business Sales Vs Retail Sales
We have broken the market up into two sectors, Passenger and Light Commercial.
Passenger October 17 YTD 2017

Business 33,566 423,849
Light Commercial
Private 5,494 54,498
Business 11,642 109,758
No Government or rental vehicles are included in these figures and overall:

Business 45,208 (42.9%) 533,607
*The % is the market share of all sales.
Fuel Type Comparison Sales
For this, we have included Government and rental and called the two categories Private and Non-private, as we think it is important especially when we are talking environment.
