According to the most recent statistics come from B.C. Stats<\/a> (via ICBC),\u00a0Surrey has more licensed commercial vehicles than Vancouver<\/span>. It looks like it’s been this way for over a decade.<\/p>\n

Looking at the graph above, the number of commercial vehicles registered in Surrey continues to rise while Vancouver remains relatively flat.\u00a0Despite a small dip between 2003 and 2004, the number of licensed commercial vehicles in Surrey rose from\u00a035,459 in 1999 to 48,508 in 2011. A significant increase. Contrast this to vehicles registered in Vancouver:\u00a035,586 in 1999 to 32,519 in 2011.<\/p>\n

One one can also see, the other area south of the Fraser that was included in the statistics was Abbotsford, which has also seen a steady growth of commercial vehicles. It has increased from\u00a015,934 in 1999 to 20,160 in 2011.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to speculate what this means: does this signify a shift of manufacturing and distribution away from Vancouver? If so, what are the implications of this?<\/p>\n
