2024年9月，英国汽车产量同比下降20.6%，至70039辆，连续第七个月下降，原因是制造商继续为新的零排放汽车进行改装，导致各种车型的生产结束。9月份的下降部分也是由于去年同期的强劲表现，这是自2020年以来的最佳表现。SMMT首席执行官Mike Hawes表示：“随着英国汽车业经历一个多世纪以来最彻底的转型，短期产量下降一直是意料之中的，这代表着为换取长期增长而进行的暂时调整。”本月早些时候，SMMT向财政部长Rachel Reeves发出了一封公开信，主张政府激励私人买家加快转向电动汽车。电动汽车产量下降37%，9月份生产了21309辆。

UK car production declined 20.6% year-on-year to 70,039 units in September 2024, falling for the seventh straight month due to the end of production of various models as manufacturers continued to retool for new zero-emission vehicles. September’s drop was also partly due to a strong performance in the same period last year, which was the best since 2020. SMMT CEO Mike Hawes said: “As UK Automotive undergoes its most radical transformation in more than a century, short-term production declines were always anticipated, and they represent a temporary adjustment in exchange for long-term growth.” Earlier this month, SMMT sent an open letter to finance minister Rachel Reeves advocating for government incentives to private buyers to speed up the switch to EVs. EV production slumped 37% with 21,309 units being manufactured in September.
