The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has said April's new car sales shows there is "light at the end of the tunnel" after coronavirus lockdowns. It has notched up its full year forecast to 1.86 million units, a 30,000 increase. In April, car retailers across the UK were able to drive the market to 141,483 new car registrations, through a combination of remote or distance sales and phased reopening of showrooms in England first and then the remaining UK nations. A ludicrous increase of 3,177% over April 2020 when the first lockdown was in place, the total still falls short of the last proper April market in 2019 when the total reached 161,000 units. |
