UK's Auto Manufacturing Suffers Worst Year Since 1956 In Terms Of Production Output | Carscoops carscoops
The United Kingdom produced just 859,575 vehicles in 2021, according to new figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders . That makes last year the worst on record since 1956, in terms of production.
Indeed, although overall production was down, the U.K. did produce more electric and plug-in electric vehicles than ever before. Plug-in hybrid vehicle output rose by an impressive 16.4 percent, while the production of battery electric vehicles rose a stunning 72 percent last year. Together, they accounted for more than 26 percent of all cars made in 2021.
Most of the U.K.’s exports are destined for Europe, as you might expect, and the signing of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement has led to greater investments in several ports and increased industry confidence.
