Nearly 50% more electric vehicles were made compared to last year, accounting for 41.3% of all cars produced. As the industry pivots, SMMT urges against protectionism and seeks a competitive landscape to attract investment.
Despite global economic instability, car production fell just 0.3 percent last month, which was welcomed by the industry as a sign of market stability.
Manufacturers have also shifted away from petrol and diesel, with 28,329 electric cars being purchased, an increase of 49.9 percent. Despite the optimism however, the SMMT’s chief executive warned against “increasing protectionism which, if not challenged or mitigated, could put the UK at a disadvantage” on the global stage.
