⚠️ BONUS EPISODE: Vertu CEO Robert Forrester joins Philip and Curtis on the Motor Trade Radio podcast, powered by Cazoo, to chat about the latest developments around the ZEV Mandate. Plus his thoughts on the September plate-change. Last Friday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham's new administration confirmed it had brought forward the review of the ZEV Mandate, which was expected next year, and had started a consultation on whether to soften targets for EV sales, acknowledging that the government's targets are not being met. Robert's not a fan of the ZEV Mandate, and as a key stakeholder, he has plenty to say about what needs to be done, making this an unmissable episode. Talking points include: ✅ How the ZEV Mandate has impacted the sales of new cars and vans ✅ His views on what needs to be changed to the ZEV Mandate ✅ How immovable is the ban on new ICE sales in 2030? Is there any leeway to move to 2035? ✅ How hopeful is he that the Government is listening? ✅ PLUS: How Vertu Motors is preparing for the September plate-change and its 20th anniversary! #automotive
