Left-Wing UK Government’s State Imposed Rules See Petrol Cars ‘Rationed’
Car makers across the UK are rationing sales of petrol and hybrid vehicles to sidestep punitive net zero fines, one of the country’s biggest dealership chains has claimed.
Robert Forrester, chief executive of Vertu Motors, revealed the constraints being self-imposed on car sale forecourts as demands to meet state-imposed climate targets are pushed forward.
The move comes as consumer demand for expensive electric cars continues to wane.
Forrester says this means someone ordering a new car now may not receive it until February next year. He told the Daily Telegraph:
In some franchises there’s a restriction on supply of petrol cars and hybrid cars, which is actually where the demand is. It’s almost as if we can’t supply the cars that people want, but we’ve got plenty of the cars that maybe they don’t want.
They [manufacturers] are trying to avoid the fines. So they’re constraining the ability for us to supply petrol cars in order to try and keep to the government targets.
