How’s business? Last month spelled some pretty rubbish news for UK vehicle production, with April’s numbers flagging by a chunky 15.8 per cent. That’s the lowest level since 1952, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) figures – at least if you don’t count lockdown.
And why would you? That first pandemic measure pretty much entirely halted production. These – believe it or not – are more usual times, and yet 59,203 units (down from 70,319 in 2024) does not a pretty penny make.
