UK vehicle production drops
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has issued UK vehicle production data for this April. These showed another fall. Car production was down 55.3% and commercial vehicles down 65.2%. Over the first four months of the year, total vehicle production is down 57.2%. "The launch of scrappage incentive schemes in the UK and Europe should help to shore-up volumes but recovery will take time," says the SMMT's boss, Paul Everitt.
