Enterprise Mobility and G3 Vehicle Auctions sign remarketing agreement
UK-based remarketing and vehicle disposal company G3 Vehicle Auctions has entered into a remarketing agreement with Enterprise Mobility. The collaboration will see G3 Vehicle Auctions manage the remarketing of Enterprise Mobility's light commercial vehicles (LCVs) through both physical and online sale events at all G3 remarketing centres. Starting this month, Enterprise Mobility's LCVs will be featured in G3's auction lanes, beginning with a launch sale at G3 Castleford on 2 July, followed by a launch at G3 Bedford on 11 July. G3 will offer a 'phygital' LCV sale solution, combining auctioneer-led events with online bidding via the G3 website and the G3 Buyer App. The launch sale at G3 Castleford will feature over 50 Enterprise LCVs in a catalogue of more than 150 LCVs. G3's flagship £12m remarketing centre near Leeds can remarket up to 50,000 vehicles annually, with Enterprise Mobility being the latest brand to join their roster. Following the acquisition of Cazoo Wholesale, G3 Bedford was unveiled in June 2024 as a 14-acre auction facility in the South Midlands. G3 will provide free online fees for all bids made through the new G3 Buyer App during these launch events. The app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, is designed to facilitate tracking and bidding with alerts for upcoming lots. Other LCV vendors joining Enterprise Mobility at the launch events include Dawson Group, AVIS, LKQ (Euro-Car Parts), TCH Leasing, Alliance Automotive Group, United Rental, and Europcar. G3 Vehicle Auctions hosts up to eight sale events weekly, featuring various vehicles from vendors such as Motability, Liquid Fleet, Leasys, and TCH Leasing, alongside dealerships and finance houses. G3 Vehicle Auctions sales director Sam Tomlinson said: 'We are delighted to announce that the agreement with Enterprise Mobility will see G3 offer vehicles for the UK's largest rental company in our lanes. 'We have seen strong conversion rates for our LCV sales in the first half of 2025, which is driven by our dedicated LCV buyer services and auctioneer teams to establish G3 in the LCV niche. With the addition of Enterprise to our established sale events alongside the free online fees using the G3 App, we are looking forward to a busy July at G3.'

Is it cheaper to run an electric vehicle or a petrol car?
More people are buying electric vehicles (EVs) than ever before, but the pace of change needs to pick up even further. That's according to the UK's Climate Change Committee (CCC), which advises the government on its net zero emissions targets and said last week that the UK must increase its focus on making electricity cheaper to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The number of electric cars on UK roads has nearly doubled in the past two years, and nearly one in five new cars sold in 2024 was electric, the chief executive of the CCC told the BBC last week. But that will only pick up even further when falling prices and the cost of running an EV tumble even further, and consumers switch away from petrol engines because it's cheaper to do so. The CCC said that falling electricity prices are critical to making this happen. So, when will road users be better off if they decide to buy an electric vehicle? We asked a number of experts. Taking a wide range of expenses - such as fuel costs, maintenance, depreciation and tax - into account, some EVs can already be cheaper to run than some petrol and diesel cars in the UK. For example, a typical EV (charged during off-peak hours) can travel 50 miles on £1 of electricity – six times further than £1 of petrol will take you, Matt Walters, an EVs expert at fleet management company Ayvens, told Yahoo News. 'Our 2025 Car Cost Index shows that when you look at the full picture – including everything from fuel and maintenance to depreciation and tax – battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are cheaper to run than petrol and diesel cars in the UK," Walters said. 'For example, the total cost of operation (TCO) for a battery electric vehicle comes in at around £982 per month. That's noticeably lower than a petrol car at £1,112 or a diesel at £1,103. "So, while electric cars have higher upfront prices, many have a lower total cost of ownership than their petrol equivalents, making them the cheaper alternative in the long run.' Manufacturers are driving their prices down, thanks not only to government policy but to an influx of cheaper parts. Figures from BloombergNEF show that battery pack prices have fallen markedly in the past decade - from $806 per kw/hr in 2014 to $115 in 2024. And they are expected to drop even further in the coming years.. 'Since the battery is the most expensive part of an EV, falling prices are a key driver in reducing overall vehicle costs, making electric cars more affordable to buy," Walters explains. 'Manufacturers are also starting to match the prices of petrol and hybrid models, with cars like the new Vauxhall Frontera launching below £20,000.' In fact, the CCC predicts that prices for new EVs and petrol cars will reach parity in around two years. Consumers are increasingly buying second-hand EVs, which are already close to drawing even with their petrol vehicles. Demand is booming, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), having risen 58.5% to 65,850 units and a record 3.3% share of all transactions in 2025. Data from car sales site Motorway show that the average prices for EVs and petrol cars sold via the platform (where dealers buy from consumers) are starting to draw very close to each other. 'Used EV prices have continued to soften over recent months. The average sale price for used EVs on our platform has decreased by 10% year on year, from £18,411 in May 2024 to £16,464 in May 2025. This reflects an increase in supply, which, despite strong consumer appetite, is still outpacing demand," Motorway told Yahoo News in a statement. New regulations (Euro 7) will mean all new EVs will have to show battery health, which should mean that people have more confidence in second-hand purchases. "The decline is closing the affordability gap with petrol cars on the second-hand market, making EVs more accessible to a wider range of motorists," Motorway added. "Just a year ago, buyers faced a significant premium to go electric, which posed a serious barrier to adoption. Now, for the majority of consumers who have never bought a brand-new car, their first EV purchase could come from a used-car dealership.' Experts at Webuyanycar believe that electrified cars will make up more than half of new registrations next year. Electrified cars have made steady year-on-year gains, according to Richard Evans, head of technical services at Webuyanycar. "The 2025 and 2026 outlooks signal not just continued electrification, but a maturing market. HEVs [hybrid electric vehicle] and PHEVs [plug-in hybrid electric vehicle] will remain vital stepping stones to all-electric motoring, while petrol and diesel registrations continue to retreat," said Evans. According to Evans, growth across the BEV, PHEV, and HEV segments makes it clear that electric motoring is no longer confined to early adopters. In addition, consumers now benefit from a choice of more than 130 EV models, improved range, better battery technology, and a continuously growing public charger network. "While affordability remains a barrier for some, the arrival of budget-friendly EVs such as the Dacia Spring and Leapmotor 03 (which are approaching price parity with the cheapest ICE cars) could help to unlock the mass market," he says.

Tax bill moves forward, US-UK tariff deal, Canada scraps tech tax
Here are three things traders are watching on Monday, June 30. Morning Brief: Market Sunrise host Ramzan Karmali breaks down the top headlines of the day, including: The US Senate moves President Trump's tax bill forward, US-UK tariff deal gives British carmakers better access, and Canada has repealed its tech tax to restart trade talks. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Morning Brief: Market Sunrise here. Today is the last trading day of the first half of 2025. Asian stocks closed higher. Europe started the trading day on the front foot, and US futures are also pointing up this Monday. So let's get into the three things you need to know before that opening bell rings on Wall Street. For number one, we start in Washington. Senate Republicans pushed President Trump's big beautiful bill forward on Sunday, and we expect voting to start this morning on a list of amendments. The measures put forward have been estimated to add at least $3.3 trillion to the nation's debt over a decade, adding to the current total of $36.2 trillion. Now remember, the president wants the bill to pass the legislation before the July 4th holiday. Now, secondly, tariffs are uppermost in traders' minds this morning. A deal to cut import tariffs between the US and the UK has come into force today. That should give British car makers preferential treatment to the world's biggest consumers in the market. We'll have more on this later in the show. Sticking with trade and President Trump has also been speaking about where the US sits with Japan. In an interview with Fox News, he said that, quote, Mr. Japan was unfair on cars. He's actually floated the idea of keeping 25% tariffs on Japanese cars if a deal isn't reached by the July 9th deadline. President Trump wants Japan to buy more US oil. And our third thing to watch is also trade related. Canada has scrapped a tech tax over the weekend in an attempt to advance trade talks with its neighbor. The digital services tax targeted US tech firms and was described by President Trump as a, quote, direct and blatant attack. On Friday, Trump said talks with Canada had been terminated. But those talks look like they will now restart.
