Even according to the Society of
Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), as reported Carbuzz , Tuesday
(31/01/2017), said that the UK car manufacturing rose sharply to reach 1.7
million units during 2016. The growth has been rated as a record high in 17
years previous.
The increase was strongly felt
manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover is now the largest producer with sales figures
in the UK. Followed by Nissan, Mini, Toyota, Honda, and Vauxhall.
Not only from its local sales, export
production also increased by 83.9%. A total of 10 British production car
model attracted many global markets, nine of which are luxury vehicles. Achieving
this alignment affects British product with German vehicle brands.
For information, after the British
exit from the EU, local authorities apply high import tax on cars coming into
the UK. This is certainly a positive impact on the local automotive
industry as JLR.
