Latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) show that the November new car market fell by -1.9%, with a total of 153,610 new car registrations.
This marks the second consecutive monthly decline in four months.
Petrol registrations were down -17% and diesel down -10%, while battery electric registrations continued to rise for the fifteenth month in a row, up by 58.49% to 38,581 new cars.
Manufacturers are investing at unprecedented levels to bring new zero emission models to market and spending billions on compelling offers. Such incentives are unsustainable – industry cannot deliver the UK’s world-leading ambitions alone. It is right, therefore, that government urgently reviews the market regulation and the support necessary to drive it, given EV registrations need to rise by over a half next year. Ambitious regulation, a bold plan for incentives and accelerated infrastructure rollout are essential for success, else UK jobs, investment and decarbonisation will be at further risk.
Said Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive.
