MOTOR INDUSTRY APPALLED AT ILLOGICAL DECISION TO WITHDRAW KEY ENVIRONMENTAL INCENTIVE

Government announces removal of incentive from customers who have pre-ordered low emitting Plug-In Hybrid vehicles for 2022. This gives no notice for the Retailers, Manufacturers and Finance companies that have contracts for these vehicles and undermines the aim of reducing emissions from the national car fleet The Government’s announcement yesterday of the removal of a key incentive to help consumers purchase a low emitting Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is shocking and the timing of it is deplorable. For the second time in less than two weeks motor retailers need to contact customers who have already pre-ordered their car for January, advising that the Government has moved the goalposts again; last week it was increased VRT and this week it is the removal of the €2,500 PHEV grant. 7,658 PHEV Cars were sold year to date (18th October 2021) and the Industry is committed to over 11,000 PHEV units for 2022.

MOTOR INDUSTRY ANGRY AND DEEPLY CONCERNED WITH REGRESSIVE PROPOSALS TO INCREASE VEHICLE REGISTRATION TAX ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Regressive tax proposals will not reduce the huge number of older polluting cars on the road, which will greatly hamper both Ireland’s ability to reach its climate change targets and the Irish Motor Industry’s proactive efforts to decarbonise the nation’s entire car fleet. These proposed tax increases would mean that consumers will have to pay more tax next year to make better environmental choices.

Low Risk/High Return-Motor Industry’s urgent call to reinstate “Click & Collect” from April 5th

In a recent national survey conducted by Behaviour & Attitudes 75% of the people surveyed said they would be comfortable visiting car dealerships/garages when travel restrictions allowed. Car dealerships/garages were ranked first out of eight non-essential Retailer categories as the most comfortable to visit. The Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI), along with Industry leaders, from Retail, Wholesale and Vehicle Distribution have re-emphasised that motor retail is ready to open, when restrictions allow. Retail in the Motor Industry is different from other non-essential retail. The large size of dealerships, the low average footfall, the ability to do business on a strict appointment only basis and the option of displaying cars outside lends itself to social distancing and safe retailing making car sales very low risk.
