May 4 (Reuters) - British new car registrations rose for
the ninth consecutive month by more than 10% in April from a
year earlier, according to the preliminary industry data
released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders
(SMMT) on Thursday.
SMMT also raised its 2023 sales outlook as supply chain
disruptions eased.
The industry body now expects 1.83 million new car
registrations this year, compared with its prior forecast of
1.79 million units. However, it softened the outlook for battery
electric vehicles to about 18% of total sales in the year.
