Car Production Motors Ahead

Last month, car manufacturing accelerated ahead.

The SMMT (society of motor manufacturers and traders) said 98,094 cars were produced in the UK in July this year, which is a 1.3 per cent increase on July 2010 figures but commercial vehicle manufacturing, fell last month 5.9 per cent to 9,127.

183,513 engines were made in the UK last month which is 0.7 per cent fewer than July 2010 but on the flip side, engine production for the year is up by 4 per cent at over 1.5 million.

Now you can be sure than when you buy a used cars Bristol they are more than likely going to be British built vehicles.

“Economic growth remains fragile but thanks to a strong export market, automotive manufacturing continues to outperform the broader economy.

“We expect vehicle and engine production to continue to rise fuelled by demand in the fast-growing Bric (Brazil, Russia, India and China) economies, as well as mainland Europe and the US. The UK industry is globally recognised for its high-quality, innovative design and exceptional reliability.” Said Paul Everitt, SMMT chief exec.
