CV manufacturing level in November after months of decline
18 Dec 2014- UK commercial vehicle (CV) manufacturing fell just 0.7% in November.
- Resurgent home market demand grew for second month, but exports remained subdued.
- Year-to-date fall of 21.6% affected by 2013 restructuring; more positive 2015 expected.
“The signs remain positive for UK commercial vehicle production after many months of decline, with output in November almost level,” said Mike Hawes, SMMTChief Executive. “The strong UK market is driving the turnaround, while export markets continue to struggle. We anticipate 2015 to be a better year as new models ramp up and the effects of last year’s restructuring no longer apply.”
