Car production in the UK fell to a minimum in 70 years

According to Wards Auto, April 2025 ended with a result of 59,203 units: so few cars in the United Kingdom have not been done since 1952! There are several reasons for the crisis in the auto industry: Trump’s customs duties, Easter holidays and conveyors, affected the decline. The company of manufacturers and sellers of cars is waiting for the intervention of the authorities.

Analysts excluded the months of 2020 from the statistics of the months of the Pandemian and it turned out that in the UK, the trade year began with the worst result since 2009. The production of cars was reduced by 8.6% (to 56,534 units), and the production of light commercial machines collapsed by 68.6% (up to 2669 units) due to the closure of the VAUXHALL plant.

The industry believes that the British auto industry is undergoing a systemic crisis, and the authorities are time to intervene. Since the government has recognized the important role of automotive in the development of the economy, it is necessary to agree on improving trade conditions with the United States, the European Union and India. The drop in production will force the British to turn to the market of used cars, which will already overheat.

In the short term, new cars in the UK may rise in price. However, without its own factories in the United Kingdom will not be left: Toyota is ready to transfer the production of GR Corolla to England, and Nissan is interested in loading the site in Sanderland by the Chinese partner of Dongfeng.
