New-car registrations in the UK rose for the eighth consecutive month in March, recording 18 percent growth from a year earlier, and also marked the best month ever for full-electric car sales, the UK's auto industry body, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), said
New-car registrations jumped to 287,825 units as supply chain challenges continued to ease, making the first quarter of 2023 the strongest three-month period since 2019, the SMMT said in a statement on Wednesday.
