Engine manufacturing falls in September
UK engine manufacturing fell 1.9% in the UK in September compared to 2018, with year-to-date figures down 7.4%.
This is according to figures released by the SMMT.
Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said: “Continuing Brexit uncertainty and the ongoing threat of ‘no deal’ – a threat that will remain until we have our new trading relationship with the EU agreed and implemented – have left automotive manufacturers unable to plan for the long term. Securing an ambitious future relationship with the EU that maintains free and frictionless trade with our key export markets remains critical to provide stability and ensure the future competitiveness and success of this vital sector.”
