UK car output fell for the seventh
consecutive month in September

  • 20.6% decline y/y
  • EV production fell 37% in September

Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) cite:

  • factories wound down
    production of current models to retool for new zero-emission
    vehicles (ZEV)
  • drop also
    partly due to last year’s strong performance, which was the best
    since 2020
  • “As UK Automotive undergoes its most radical transformation
    in more than a century, short-term production declines were
    always anticipated, and they represent a temporary adjustment in
    exchange for long-term growth”
