• UK engine manufacturing stable in July, up 0.6% with 196,142 units produced.
• Home demand down -4.0% as UK car production falls, while export orders rise 4.0%.
• Almost two thirds of all output shipped overseas this year, highlighting the importance of frictionless trade.

Mike Hawes, 91³ÉÈË Chief Executive, said,

Today’s figures reflect the downward trend in UK car production and underline the importance of overseas business. Securing a Brexit deal that maintains frictionless trade with our key export markets, therefore, remains an absolute priority for the future competitiveness of this vital sector.
