- UK car manufacturing output fell by 277 units in November, with 137,347 cars produced.
- Year-to-date output stable at 1,419,427 units, a drop of 0.3%.
- Exports remain subdued in contrast to continued growth for the home market.
“Model changes and economic uncertainty in export markets have flattened UK car production, but the industry remains in a strong position with growth expected to return next year,” said Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive. “Global demand for UK automotive engineering continues to be at a high level, and manufacturing plants are seeing the benefits of significant recent investments. UK-built cars offer a vast range of technologies to lower carbon emissions and improve air quality, underlining the country’s important role in the continuing drive to reduce all emissions.”
