UK vehicle production fell sharply in the first half of 2025, with output hitting its lowest levels since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Industry analysts point to supply chain disruptions, reduced consumer demand, and uncertainty over post-Brexit trade rules as contributing factors.

The decline has prompted renewed calls for government intervention to support the automotive sector and accelerate green technology investments.
