The next time some ignorance tells you, we do not tell you that we do not tell any cars in the United Kingdom anymore and things were not the same as what they are usual, here are some of the statistics that you transmit. According to the Association of Car Manufacturers and Traders, British car manufacturers of British -sized – people like McLaren, Morgan and Bentley – exceeded 5.5 billion pounds in 2024. Nine out of ten cars are exported, so during the representation of only four percent of total car production in the United Kingdom, represented by 12 percent of the total value. All with support for 15,000 people in high -skilled, paid roles – SMMT words, and not – along with 60,000 other jobs in the supply chain. So there is a success story at all to talk about it when it comes to making cars in the UK.
But the changes in full swing of this industry, and although small manufacturers (SVM) are now flourishing, SMMT is determined that they will need specific assistance from the government to address what will happen. The latest SMMT report, UK’s small car manufacturers: a permanent British success story, determines what these challenges are and how they can be addressed. Familiar problems – the need to remove carbon, global economic impasse, high costs, and transmission of skills – with a well -known group of severe consequences as well. Since the sizes tend to be less for specialists and development courses for a longer period, it may take more time to recover investment. Therefore, the right decisions must be made for the right cars in a timely manner; It is very difficult for young makers to deal with a mistake or change in legislation than it is for senior players.
Nevertheless, the SVM report determines five measures believed to be presented “to support a successful sector, provide innovation, trade, jobs, and increase economic activity in the UK in every country in the country.” It includes support to raise the workforce, more commercial negotiations to maintain the flow of exports freely, help with the carbon removal voltage (including the need for “flexible tracks” when dealing with less sizes), and more research and development financing, and learn about the SVM sector’s contribution. “This is the main consideration of the upcoming industrial and commercial strategies of the government,” the report says. Listen, listen.
The image that was seen here comes from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in London, where representatives of small size manufacturers met in the numbers of deputies. “We guarantee the transfer of our car makers from strength to power with our progress in our plan for change, and we have already obtained prominent commercial deals with the United States and India, which will reduce the tariff of the sector and create new export opportunities. Our modern industrial strategy will determine a long -term plan to support our qualifications, including creating the correct conditions for increasing investment, opportunities, Opportunities, opportunity.
