If the UK is serious about growth, the automotive sector can be the driving force so this week’s 16th SMMT International Automotive Summit sent that message loud and clear. SMMT’s Vision 2035 plan, launched at the event, sets out the contribution the UK auto industry can make to the UK economy. With the right policies in place, our sector has the potential to deliver growth worth £50 billion over the next decade, at the same time replacing more than 17 million fossil fuel cars with zero emission ones and making more than a million of them here in Britain every year.
