New car registrations rose 11.5% in April
2010 compared to a year before, according to the Society of Motor
Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
In total, 148,793 cars were registered, a
tenth successive monthly increase. Demand for fuel-efficient
vehicles remained strong, and diesel penetration rose for the first
time since March 2009, the organisation said.

SMMT chief executive Paul Everitt said: “As
our new government establishes itself, the priority must be
sustaining and strengthening the economic recovery with particular
focus on encouraging the availability of more and better priced
finance for businesses and consumers.”
He added: “There are still difficult months
ahead, but the strong start to 2010 has led SMMT to increase its
annual forecast to 1.9m units.”
