The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reports a significant decline in UK car production, with output down nearly 13% this year, totaling just 348,226 units, marking the lowest level since 1953. Factors contributing to this downturn include US tariffs, company restructuring, and ongoing model changeovers. Additionally, commercial vehicle output saw a drop of over 50%. However, SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes expressed cautious optimism, pointing to trade deals with markets like the US and improved EU relations as potential recovery drivers.
Production of cars in the UK has drastically decreased this year, highlighting significant challenges within the automotive sector and its response to external pressures.
