WLTP powering August registration bubble
03 September 2018
August new car registrations look set to end the month vastly up on the same month last year, according to industry sources. The hike is due to manufacturers pushing cars into the networks that have to be registered before 31 August because of WLTP emissions regulations.
Figures for registrations in August, seen by Auto Retail Network, with five days still to go show the month was more than 20% up on last year with the most recent daily figure up more than 1,000%.
The August new car registration bubble is widely expected to be offset by a significant dip in September registrations as networks work to clear the stock of nearly-new cars from August.
