UK car and commercial vehicle production increased by 17.1% in March to 79,018 units, driven by export demand and a 30.6% increase in car manufacturing. Electrified vehicle production also rose by 38.5%, accounting for 45% of total UK car output. Despite this, the first quarter saw an overall decline in production.

Q1 2025 saw a 3.2% decline in car production overall, with uncertainty ahead in Q2 due to potential weakening US demand and new tariffs, according to SMMT.
