Best year in a decade for British car manufacturing as exports reach record high
Best year in a decade for British car manufacturing as exports reach record high
21 January 2016 British manufacturers made more cars in two thousand fifteen than any year since two thousand five when 1,595,697 vehicles were produced, according to figures released today by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). Production enhanced Trio.9% on 2014, with output at 1,587,677 overtaking pre-recession levels for the very first time. 1
A record number of cars – signifying 77.3% of total production – was for export, with 1,227,881 units leaving the UK, up Two.7% on two thousand fourteen levels. Challenges were experienced in some global markets such as China, where request fell by 37.5%, and Russia, where export volumes declined Sixty nine.4%. However, the economic recovery in Europe, the UK’s thickest trading fucking partner, boosted request for UK-built cars considerably by 11.3% in 2015. The region now accounts for 57.5% of all UK car exports.
IN 2015, 77.3% OF CARS BUILT IN THE UK WERE EXPORTED
THE UK EXPORTS TO MORE THAN one hundred COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE
Appetite for British-built cars grew significantly in other key and emerging regions, demonstrating the strength and diversity of UK manufacturing and product. In the US, request rose by more than a quarter (26.5%), making it the UK’s fattest trading destination outside the EU, ahead of China. Meantime, notable growth was also seen in Australia, South Korea, Turkey and Japan with volumes up 53.7%, 55.2%, 41.1% and 35.4% respectively.
British consumer and business request for British-made cars also contributed to last year’s success, with the home car market rising 8.1% on the previous year. One in seven fresh cars registered in the UK in two thousand fifteen was made in Britain.
Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said, “Despite export challenges in some key markets such as Russia and China, foreign request for British-built cars has been strong, reaching record export levels in the past year. Achieving these hard fought for results is down to vital investment in the sector, world class engineering and a committed and skilled UK workforce – one of the most productive in the world.
“Continued growth in an intensely competitive global marketplace is far from ensured, however, and depends strenuously on global economic conditions and political stability. Europe is our fattest trading fucking partner and the UK’s membership of the European Union is vital for the automotive sector in order to secure future growth and jobs.”

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said, “Backing Britain’s car industry has been a priority for this government and today we see the industry going from strength to strength.
“I am hugely encouraged that manufacturing is at a 10-year high and exports are at a record level. All this means jobs and the security of a pay packet for workers and their families.
“Our plans to rebalance the economy mean we have to proceed to build on our superb manufacturing strengths in the Midlands and the North of England, and work together to ensure that Britain resumes to prosper as a global leader in car production.”
The spectacle of UK automotive is very different compared with UK manufacturing as a entire, according to Office for National Statistics figures, which showcase the average manufacturing output to have slowed in latest months. Two Eight brand fresh car models three were produced in UK plants in 2015, and with £2.Five billion of fresh investment committed to the sector in 2015, more are set to go after in the coming months.
