And, based on search statistics on AutoTrader, many may be entering the delivery arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSouth Africans are incredibly good at making a plan,\u201d notes George Mienie, AutoTrader CEO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd we have observed that, since the commencement of level 4 lockdown, South African search patterns on AutoTrader have changed to suit the economic opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been a sharp increase in searches for both small and big vans at the end of April and the beginning of May 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom 1 January to 28 April, van searches were on a downward trend. However, following the announcement of the guidelines for level 4, which include activity such as food delivery, by Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma on 29 April, searches for these vehicles have more than doubled,\u201d reveals Mienie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He believes that this is an indication of South Africans showing their ability to \u201cmake a plan\u201d \u2013 under even the most demanding of conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey have clearly seen a business opportunity \u2013 hence their desire to purchase a van at this specific time. I believe that more and more small to medium-sized enterprises will enter this sector as demand rises (for example, local restaurants offering food delivery for heat-at-home meals),\u201d Mienie comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Volkswagen Caddy is currently both the most-searched-for and also the most sold small van. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It attracts a premium price (R46 085 more) versus the second most-searched-for and sold \u2013 the Toyota Avanza panel van. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Toyota is in second place when it comes to small vans, it dominates the large van category, where the Quantum is both the most-searched-for and also the most sold large van. It is interesting to note that there are 4.3 times more searches for the Quantum than for its second-placed rival, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. There are also 8.3 times more sales of the Quantum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese figures underscore the popularity of the Quantum, which is an iconic vehicle in this country,\u201d Mienie explains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FACED with the economic challenges of lockdown, South Africans have demonstrated their entrepreneurial spirit like never
