UK New Car Sales See Second Weakest May in 30 Years
KONTAN.CO.ID - New car registrations in Britain tumbled nearly 21% last month, the second weakest May in three decades after lockdown-hit 2020, as persisting supply challenges hampered sales and deliveries despite robust demand. Industry data showed on Monday.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said new car sales in the UK fell to 124.394 units last month. While battery electric vehicles uptake jumped nearly 18% and made up one in eight new cars joining the road.
