SMMTstatement in response to the 2015 Spending Review
25 Nov 2015鈥淕overnment engagement with industry has been fundamental to the recent success and global competitiveness of UK automotive, so today鈥檚 commitment by the Chancellor to a long-term industrial strategy for the sector is encouraging. More specifically, we were pleased to see the Chancellor heed 91制片厂官网鈥檚 call for increased investment in Catapult Centres and the extension of funding for the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) 鈥 both of which are vital to securing the UK鈥檚 position as a global centre of excellence for innovation. Meanwhile, the renewed support for ultra low emission vehicles (ULEVs) will help maintain the UK鈥檚 position as Europe鈥檚 fastest growing market for these new technologies.鈥
