An end to recent supply chain disruption signals a return to growth for the UK’s commercial vehicle sector, and significant growth at that. Sustaining strong global demand for British-built vans, trucks and buses, which are increasingly zero emission, now depends on maintaining favourable trading conditions, creating healthy markets at home and boosting UK competitiveness on the global stage. https://lnkd.in/eVHwN5nv

Following significant growth last year, some readjustment in output was to be expected. Indeed, an ongoing degree of volatility is likely as the industry restructures to transition to zero emission vehicle production. As the billions already committed to new models start to deliver a return, volume growth will resume, providing we seize every opportunity to enhance our global competitiveness. We need investment in skills, healthy markets, cheaper green energy, and fair trade deals that help British-built vehicles reach international customers more easily, all of which should be wrapped in an over-arching industrial strategy that ensures automotive continues to be a key driver of economic growth. https://lnkd.in/expdneAS
