LKQ CEO Comments on SMMT used car data

Kevan Wooden, CEO at LKQ UK & Ireland has commented on the latest Q1 sales data for used cars as published by SMMT:

“Sales of used electric vehicles continue to grow at a fast pace, further prompting the aftermarket to retool and upskill, to capture and retain the business of plug-in drivers – and to ensure good value servicing and maintenance is readily available outside of the dealer network.

Kevan continued:

“Pressure is mounting for meaningful policy change to enable a smoother EV transition. Support for independent workshops shouldn’t be overlooked in any new policy approach by an incumbent or incoming Government. The UK car parc is bracing itself for a major influx in plug-ins, and it’s crucial the capacity is there to service, maintain and repair them.”
