UK car and commercial vehicle output falls in April
CEO Update
Read full update
A challenging start to the year for UK automotive manufacturers continued into April, with the latest SMMT data out this week showing vehicle output at a 70-year low for the month. The performance is a reflection of an industry undergoing immense transformation amid strong global headwinds. For the car sector, weak demand in key markets and model changeovers have constrained production, while lower CV output follows plant consolidation and normalising demand following major post-pandemic investments by fleet operators and other buyers.
