U.K. car production increased in November fueled by overseas demand, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said Thursday.
Car manufacturing advanced 9.3 percent year-on-year to 150,084 units in November. Production for export grew 10.8 percent and that for domestic market climbed 3.4 percent.
The latest figures put year-to-date volumes 3.8 percent ahead of the same period in 2014.
“November’s manufacturing gains are encouraging, and put the car industry in a strong position with one month left in the year,” SMMT Chief Executive Mike Hawes, said.
“Particularly pleasing is the recent pick-up in export production, which is proof that despite challenges in some global markets, the UK continues to build cars that appeal to consumers across the world,” said Hawes.
