New registrations in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) sector remain 27.4% down year-to-date despite a growth of 26.4% in September, the SMMT has reported.
August delivered evidence of significant pre-registration driven by the requirement for market share and the need to register WLTP cars in the face of the arrival of RDE2 legislation.
The September roll-out of the new RDE2 vehicle emissions standards is causing a re-emergence of new car pre-registrations, the Vehicle Remarketing Association (VRA) heard at its July members meeting.
