BVRLA releases ‘best practice’ guidelines
The BVRLA has worked with the SMMT and Finance & Leasing Association to produce best practice guidelines to ensure the collection and delivery of vehicles can continue during the coronavirus crisis.
The Department for Transport has made it clear that logistics should carry on during the lockdown, and the BVRLA is urging dealerships and other delivery agents to start moving vehicles again in order to unclog the thousands of cars and vans that are congesting the automotive supply chain.
BVRLA chief executive Gerry Keaney said: “The government has made it very clear that it wants all supply chains to continue to the greatest extent possible during the Covid-19 outbreak. This includes vehicle logistics, and not just cars and vans that are being delivered to essential workers. By getting these vehicles moving, we are not only helping the COVID-19 response, we are also ensuring that businesses and individuals can pick-up where they left-off as soon as the lockdown ends.
“We hope that the guidance we have produced with the SMMT and FLA can give our members and their supply chain partners the confidence to start making this happen.”
