The UK is home to one of the most diverse automotive industries in the world. As well as hosting globally competitive, mass market manufacturers, the UK is also the world’s leading location for the design, prototyping, engineering and manufacturing of luxury, sports and specialist vehicles. Products and technologies produced by these manufacturers have some of the highest levels of domestic content seen across the entire automotive industry.
