The Society of Motor Manu-facturers
and Traders (SMMT) has released figures showing a 10.8% rise in new
car registrations in June, up 19.9% across the first half of
2010.

There was also a 25.3% rise in the
fleet market, which helped to sustain growth momentum, according to
the SMMT.

The figures showed the market was up
despite the end of the scrappage scheme but the SMMT still predicts
a slip in volumes in the latter half of the year.

SMMT chief executive Paul Everitt
said: “The new car market continued to perform above expectations
in June, with fleet sector registrations up 25% compared to this
time last year.”

However, the market was said to be up
20.4% over the past 12 months, with volumes in the latest quarter
up 11.8%.

The fleet market also rebounded in
June, up 25.3% on the volume recorded a year previously, while
business volumes rose by 18.4%.
