UK new car registrations plummet 20.6% due to supply crisis
New car registrations were down 32.3% compared with pre-pandemic 2019, when 183,724 new cars were registered.
So far this year, the UK has registered 661,121 new cars, down from 723,845 by the same time last year and 40.6% down on the pre-pandemic five-year average. Meanwhile, there was a significant decline in the amount of plug-in hybrids registered – from 9855 in May 2021 to 7339 last month – and a huge 50.8% drop in the amount of diesel cars leaving forecourts.
SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said:"In yet another challenging month for the new car market, the industry continues to battle ongoing global parts shortages, with growing battery-electric vehicle uptake one of the few bright spots."
