NAA Update: The new government needs to work in partnership with the automotive sector
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.
Welcome to this month’s newsletter and I hope that you are all keeping well.
If the UK is serious about growth, the automotive sector can be the driving force and last month’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.
We need the new government to work in partnership with the sector, and a long-term industrial strategy is fundamental, giving global investors confidence that there is a framework designed to support industry, to generate returns and encourage further commitments.
Elsewhere, Cenex Expo is nearly upon us again. Hosted at NAA member UTAC’s Millbrook Proving Ground on 4th and 5th September, the event sets an agenda where low carbon vehicle and connected automated mobility innovations combine to shape the future of mobility. If you’re interested in increasing your visibility and brand awareness of your company to your target audience – opportunities are still available to sponsor their seminar sessions. Further details on the sessions can be found here.
