Our membership with the SMMT
We’re proud to be members of the SMMT, our membership has been developing and we have lots in the pipework! The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) is one of the largest and most influential trade associations in the UK. Its resources, reputation and unrivalled automotive data place it at the heart of the UK automotive industry. It undertakes a variety of activities to support and represent the interests of the industry and has a long history of achievement.
SMMT represents more than 700 automotive companies in the UK, ranging from OEMs to SMEs, providing them with a forum to voice their views on issues affecting the automotive sector, helping to guide strategies and building positive relationships with government and regulatory authorities.
The automotive sector is one in which we face lots of issues and have lots of services in, Car manufacturers have been at the heart of the electric vehicle revolution over the last decade and as lithium batteries have evolved, so too has the viability of electrically powered transport, both in terms of charge longevity and power. Although the end-of-life market for EVs may still be in its infancy at present, the volume of damaged and expired lithium batteries being returned to manufacturers is likely to expand dramatically and quickly. Even now, many EV manufacturers will have received a steady trickle of these vehicles due to warranty issues, crash or fire damage.
The avenues currently available to deal with these lithium-ion batteries are still fairly limited, and Cawleys’ Lithium Battery Recycling Solutions are one of the very few organisations that are thoroughly equipped and regulated to deal with them.
