SMMTresponds to Plug-in Car Grant announcement
17 Dec 2015Mike Hawes, SMMTChief Executive, said, 鈥淲e welcome the continuation of the Plug-in Car Grant, which has helped Britain become the fastest-growing market for ultra-low emission vehicles in Europe.
鈥淭he recently agreed global climate change targets underscore the important contribution ultra-low emission vehicles make 鈥 and will continue to make 鈥 to reducing carbon emissions. Manufacturers are offering increasing numbers of these vehicles 鈥 but a consistently applied incentive regime is still needed over the coming years to help consumers adopt these ground-breaking technologies.
鈥淭he changes to the regime will need effective management and SMMTlooks forward to working with government to ensure the planning needs of manufacturers and consumers 鈥 both fleet and private 鈥 are met.鈥
