Production forecasts in Great Britain in 2016 (PC + LCV)
- British car production has experienced uninterrupted growth since drop in 2009, meaning that today it is close behind the levels of French production. British production is experiencing a good health thanks to the success of the Nissan Qashqai, Juke Nissan, BMW Mini, which offset the loss of Ford as a producer in Britain.
- The Jaguar and more importantly Land Rover brands have benefited from the success of premium brands, particularly in Europe, the USA and China. Ditto for the Aston Martin , Bentley and Rolls-Royce brands albeit at lower volumes. Thus, UK production is approaching once again its capacity of 2 million vehicles per year (Against 3 million for France) and the progress of the british and european market as a whole can only encourage this trend.
- In addition, the relocation of the Toyota Auris from Turkey to Britain in 2013, the arrival of the Nissan Leaf in 2014, the Jaguar XE in 2015, the Infiniti Q30 in 2016, have accentuated the phenomenon, even in conjunction the GM site of Luton lost the production of the Renault Trafic in 2014 (transfer to the French plant of Sandouville) and even though Mini transferred in 2014 part of its UK production to the Dutch plant in Born.
- Inovev expects a 2% increase in British production between 2015 and 2016.
