With over a third of all vehicle types now incorporating battery electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid technology, UK car manufacturing is positioned for a sustainable future – if cash-strapped drivers are offered sufficient reason to buy, according to the chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

صحبت در وبینار اولویت های صنعت خودرو در سال 2024 پیش از آن آخرین آمار تولید بریتانیا در سال 2023مایک هاوز گفت که حجم خودروهای الکتریکی از نظر حجم در سال 2023 به رکورد بالایی رسید - اگرچه سهم بازار از 16.6 به 16.5 درصد کاهش یافت.

SMMT به دنبال حمایت دولت برای تحریک تقاضای مصرف کنندگان خصوصی برای وسایل نقلیه الکتریکی است و گزینه ترجیحی آن کاهش مالیات بر ارزش افزوده خودروهای برقی است که به طور بالقوه می تواند یک چهارم میلیون خودروی برقی اضافی را در جاده ها وارد کند.

“When you look at diesel and mild hybrid diesel,” Hawes said, “you’ve seen this erosion in demand there supplanted by growth especially in hybrid, plug in hybrid and battery electric vehicles. But if you look at the growth both in terms of the market and in terms of battery electric vehicles, that growth is driven by business and fleet. They have incentives, the private consumer does not which is why we are asking for governments to reduce VAT on electric vehicles from 20% as is now and halve it for three years, taking it down to 10%.

تا حدی، خزانه داری از تغییر به سمت خودروهای برقی سود بادآورده ای داشته است، زیرا این وسایل نقلیه حدود 30 تا 40 درصد گران تر هستند. این بدان معناست که دریافتی های مالیات بر ارزش افزوده برای خزانه داری 30 تا 40 درصد بیشتر است. با دادن مقداری از آن به مصرف‌کننده، تا بتوانیم بازار خصوصی را تحریک کنیم و به جایی که می‌خواهیم برسد، خواهد رسید.»

آخرین آمار SMMT برای سال 2023 نشان می دهد که کل تولید خودرو در بریتانیا با 1.04 میلیون دستگاه، بهترین سال از زمان همه گیر شدن 2019 بوده است.

“Obviously, this is nowhere near where we were four or five years ago,” said Hawes, “but we’ve seen structural changes taking place in the industry. “What we’ve seen is obviously the supply chain issues recede. They haven’t gone away but they have receded and that has enabled production to get back not – just in UK but in European terms – closer to where it was before the pandemic.

“The critical thing we need to grow the industry is to build up the supply chain. The UK actually produces just about every single component needed for an electric vehicle but we need to scale up and we need to scale up at pace because there’s a tremendous opportunity there. When we think about some of the trade challenges around rules of origin, the importance of local production, not just the finished vehicle, but of the parts and components that go in there to meet those requirements is critical.”

He spoke of a ‘complete change in positivity’ in manufacturing sentiment as a result of some £2.4bn worth of investments in gigafactories and EV production. “That’s more than something like the last seven years put together. It has been a fantastic last year and the importance of that cannot be underestimated.”

“For many years securing investment for the UK was really challenging because we didn’t know for four years while Brexit negotiations continued. We had political uncertainty, economic uncertainty. We now have a lot more stability.”

“We are not the biggest manufacturing sector in the UK but we got the lion’s share of that money because the importance of this sector to net zero, to jobs, to security, to economic growth is recognised.”

“While the Conservative Government has established a set of policies which are the building blocks for supporting the industry, that’s something that we obviously want to see continue whoever wins the next election. A lot of what Labour is saying would be an endorsement of what of what it is that we are seeking.”

He noted that in October, the Labour Party published a plan for the automotive sector, the first of its sector plans. “If you read through it, it contains a lot of what we’re asking for. Perhaps that is no accident because we’ve had very good engagement with Labour in the same way we’ve had very good engagement with ministers.”

“We see Labour doing things a little differently. It will want a more positive relationship with Europe and there’s a chance to reset. Given that there’ll be a change of parliament in Europe and potentially a change of government here, Labour may look at incentives to recommit to net zero.”

“Certainly, the engagement we’ve had with gives us a degree of encouragement should they form the next government. If they don’t? Again, our engagement with ministers have been incredibly supportive.”
