BMW calls for clarity on UK's zero-emission vehicles policy

The auto industry needs clarity on zero-emission vehicles, said German carmaker BMW's UK unit after reports that Britain is set to relax its 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars.

The carmaker's margin on earnings before interest and taxes was 9.8% in the quarter, rising to 10.8%, excluding the impact of last year's decision to take majority control of its Chinese joint venture, BMW Brilliance Automotive.

“We cannot comment on speculation, but can say that we and the whole automotive industry need clarity in the zero-emission vehicle topic,” a spokesperson for BMW in the UK said on Wednesday.
