Continuation of Scrappage Scheme Can Help Us
The CEA are supporting the SMMT and EEF call to extend the car scrappage scheme into 2010. The £300 million initiative is set to end soon but, as has been well publicised, has stimulated car sales by offering incentives for the replacement of old vehicles. Germany has seen a similar positive response to their (more generous) government scheme. Whilst it is unlikely that the government will extend the scrappage allowance to cover construction equipment – many suppliers to our sector also serve the car market and any help they can get is to be welcomed.
