    04/11/2024 Duração: 46min

    September’s new car plate-change month is now out of the way, so attention inevitably turns to the used car market. Despite a relatively strong month for new, used car volumes for franchised retailers are essentially governed by how the market performed two-four years ago. With the market missing more than 1.5 million cars during the pandemic, this is still having a significant impact on stock sourcing and pricing. Used car buyers are traditionally on a tighter budget than new car customers and they’re also more traditional in their fuel choice. The result is a distortion. Electric car prices may be weak, but the majority of the market is still running petrol and diesel vehicles where pricing is strong. In this webinar our panel will discuss what this means for retailers and how profitability can be maintained through the very real disruption. Examining all these topics in our next Auto Retail Live Business Briefing, will be Perrys’ Darren Ardron, Swansway’s Peter Smyth, and Motors’ Phill Jones. Led by Auto

    New brand entrants are joining the UK market at pace and putting pressure on existing traditional manufacturers at a time when electric vehicle targets, economic pressures and consumer confidence are all challenging. Of course, the arrival of these new entrants and the timing of government EV targets are not separate. However, many believe that not all the new entrant brands will succeed in the UK. Similarly, few believe the UK market can sustain a higher number of brands than we have now, which means some longstanding brands could also fall by the wayside. Assessing the market and what’s needed to succeed for both retailers who partner with these new entrants and the manufacturer is the latest edition of the New Entrants Report, published in partnership with Auto Trader. To launch the report and discuss these topics join us on 8th October at 10:30am for our Auto Retail Live webinar, when we will analyse what these brands have to offer retailers, how and when they’re likely to come to the UK and how the m

    Our panel discuss the issues surrounding the ZEV mandate, including: Will this year really see a 1.45 million new car market as OEMs restrict ICE to hit a 22% BEV mix? Is this just an OEM problem? Is the next Government likely to change tack on EVs? Which sales incentives work best to sell EVs. What impact will the ZEV Mandate have on the used car market? Talking through these points and more are Jonathan Gravell from Gravells, Mike Jones from Fresh Tracks and Auto Trader’s Rebecca Clark, all led by Auto Retail Live chair Al Clarke.

    Disruptions to the used car market over the past few years have changed the automotive landscape permanently. Not only were fewer new cars sold during the pandemic, but the addition of electric vehicles and a shift to agency agreements by OEMs has necessitated a new approach to valuations, stock acquisition strategies and sales operations. In our next Auto Retail Live webinar we’ll examine these influences on the used car market and provide the insight needed to adapt your operations to ensure ongoing success. We’ll have Robert Forrester, CEO of Vertu, Rupert Pontin from AutoAPI and John Veichmanis, CEO of Carwow, all available online to discuss these topics, answer your questions and help you get ready for 2024. We’ll unpack the intricacies of new car supply and its ripple effect on the used car market.

    September’s plate change is upon us once again and for the first time since the pandemic the new car supply is being to look ‘normal’. Despite this background, economic pressures remain and consumers are increasingly careful about how they spend their money. This is countered by continuing used car stock shortages in some sectors and high prices and good margins. However, the exception is used electric vehicle sales which have gone through a price realignment as supply and demand begin to balance out. Discussing all these topics in our next Auto Retail Live Business Briefing, will be Lookers’ Duncan McPhee, eStar Truck and Van’s Steve Bridge and Auto Trader’s Marc Palmer.

    During the first half of 2023 total new car registrations have seen significant increases, however, retail sales have not been part of this rise. Used car values are still strong but EV supply into the market is still outstripping demand. Is the industry back to normal? And if not, when is that likely to happen? Inflation is still high and consumers are under increasing economic pressure as the cost of living rises. In this Auto Retail Live Business Briefing, we talk to Swansway’s Peter Smyth, Perrys’ Darren Ardron, and Auto Trader’s Karolina Edwards-Smajda about how retailers can combat these issues and what’s going on now and what’s expected to happen to UK auto retail in the next few months.

    New car supply is short, order banks are long but a looming recession means consumer demand is uncertain.
