I completely agree the UK focuses more on low-volume, high-value automotive, bit looking at that table UK car production has more than halved since the Brexit referendum went through. The hollowing out of the UK car industry is a very recent phenomena.
- simonbarker87 4y agoGiven that world wide production is down but 15 million vehicles (nearly 20%) I wouldn’t read too much into it. JLR have had enormous supply chain issues and Nissan is in a model transition on Qashqai (which alone has previously accounted for over 400k vehicles per year)
