Philip Nothard, chair of the VRA, said: \u201cAt moments such as this, when the new and used vehicle markets are being impacted by a wide range of factors, we work hard to provide our members with the insights that they need. This meeting \u2013 covering everything from the Supreme Court decision to the potential for an EV price war \u2013 is a good example of that determination. It should prove to be an excellent session.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
