Motor Vehicles: Manufacturing Industries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to increase (a) support for and (b) resilience of the vehicle manufacturing industry.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Budget committed over £2 billion of funding support to 2030 to unlock capital investment in zero emission vehicle manufacturing and supply chains. This funding will ensure the resilience of the sector and boost competitiveness. We’ve also listened to business on regulations, and the changes announced by the Prime Minister on 7 April introduced significant extra flexibility into the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate. And we continue to open up markets - and have protected British carmakers jobs - as our new deal with India and our landmark deal with the US clearly demonstrate.
