UK car production rose 27.1% in 2010, says SMMT
UK car production rose sharply in 2010, with carmakers manufacturing 1.27 million cars, a rise of 27.1% on the previous year, figures show.
In the month of December, car production was up 10.6% from a year ago to 94,325, said the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). Commercial vehicle production was up 35.7% at 123,019 units.
The annual figures confirm a recovery in the UK car industry after sales were hit hard during the recession. However, production levels are still a long way from returning to pre-downturn levels. Total production, which includes both car and commercial vehicles, was 1.39 million in 2010, compared with 1.75 million in 2007 and 1.65 million in 2008.
