Peak Car: Is Private Car Ownership On the Wane In Britain?

01 Jun 2022 | Abstracted from Car Magazine

"New research suggests that Britain may be hitting peak car, as the level of car ownership fell for two consecutive years after the pandemic - the first successive drops in ownership in more than a century...[since World War One].

"The hangover from the Covid-19 pandemic is still affecting many companies and it’s forcing the British public to hang on to their cars for longer: the average car is now 8.7 years old, more than a year older than a decade ago, and many urban dwellers are not even bothering to own a car at all."
