In this episode of Drivetime, Jacqui is joined by Mike Hawes, Chief Executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), to unpack the biggest forces reshaping the UK automotive industry. Drawing on more than a decade at the helm of the SMMT, Mike shares a candid view on how OEMs, policymakers and retailers are navigating electrification, global trade pressures and shifting consumer confidence and why the transition to net zero is proving more complex than first
anticipated.
From the realities of the ZEV mandate and charging infrastructure, to affordability, residual values and total cost of ownership, this conversation cuts through the headlines to explore what’s really happening on the ground and what needs to change next.
