LONDON, April 6 (Xinhua) Britain s new car market recorded its first growth since August 2020, with 29,280 more units registered during March compared to the same month last year, the British Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said Tuesday.
In March, 283,964 new cars were registered, rising by 11.5 percent from the same month one year ago. However, the increase is still far below the 10-year March average level of 450,189 units, said the SMMT.
While overall registrations were slightly up compared to that of last year, growth came almost entirely from fleets, which saw a 28.7 percent increase in registrations, said the SMMT.
