UK new car sales fall 1.6 percent in January
Sales fell to 161,013 cars, the fifth consecutive month of declines, pulled down by a 20 percent fall in diesel car registrations, according to data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
"To restore momentum, we need supportive policies, not least on vehicle taxation, to encourage buyers to invest in new, cleaner vehicles that best suit their driving needs," said SMMT Chief Executive Mike Hawes. (Reporting by Costas Pitas, editing by Andy Bruce)
