Botswana Car/LCV Sales By Brand : 2015

Getting sales data from the African Continent is difficult. Informing the public on such natters as car sales is a low priority. So it is nice to be able to release data for Botswana, a land locked nation to the north of South Africa.

2016 looks like it may have been a record, recent history suggesting such. Toyota took half the market, something it has been doing since 2010. In 2015, much of the increase came form the bigger brands, while smaller makes suffered. The colouring in the list below shows who went up or down.
