UK Automotive can drive growth, innovation and net zero, but only if the right decisions are taken now. The Industrial Strategy sets out a plan, but delivery is now what matters. We need open trade with Europe, competitive conditions at home, and a realistic route to grow zero emission vehicle uptake Reforming the ZEV Mandate is not about weakening ambition; it is about making the transition achievable, protecting investment and ensuring the UK remains a place where automotive businesses can build, sell, export and grow. The window for action is closing, which means we cannot wait for lengthy discussions #SMMTSummit

SMMT’s Sustainability Report, now in its 27th year, is an annual benchmark detailing the UK automotive industry’s progress toward net zero, circular economy goals and broader environmental, social and economic metrics. Launched in 2000, it was the first ever sustainability report by any UK industry and remains an important reflection of the sector’s long-term commitment to delivering decarbonisation, resilience and prosperity. smmt.co.uk/greener-plants… #sustainability #ukautomotive #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #GreenManufacturing #CleanEnergy #EVs #UKManufacturing

Greener plants power greener vehicles as UK Auto invests in homegrown renewables Record 80.4GWh generated by British manufacturing plants – enough to power 32,000 homes and cut 14,000 tonnes of carbon. smmt.co.uk/greener-plants… #sustainability #ukautomotive #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #GreenManufacturing #CleanEnergy #EVs #UKManufacturing

Progress extends across the sector with growth in zero-emission model production, waste reuse and recycling, and apprenticeship rollout. EV production is more energy intensive than conventionally fuelled vehicle production and, with 27 zero emission models already in or announced for UK production, manufacturers need reliable access to low-carbon electricity that is internationally competitive. smmt.co.uk/greener-plants… #sustainability #ukautomotive #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #GreenManufacturing #CleanEnergy #EVs #UKManufacturing

SMMT’s latest UK Automotive Sustainability Report shows the sector’s on-site renewables generation rose 36.0% to 80.4GWh in 2025 🏘️enough to provide more than 32,000 British homes with electricity for a year and removing around 14,000 tonnes of CO2 from production. 🚗The analysis, representing manufacturers of 99.7% of all UK-built cars and commercial vehicles as well as the wider supply chain, reflects huge industry investment to cut carbon, reduce resource use and build greener plants for greener vehicles. smmt.co.uk/greener-plants… #sustainability #ukautomotive #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #GreenManufacturing #CleanEnergy #EVs #UKManufacturing

📢"While bus registrations continue to decline, this remains something of a normalisation after two exceptionally strong years of investment.  Zero emission buses continue to outperform the wider market, however, resulting in an increasing share and helping provide green mobility across the country" @MikeHawesSMMT on Q2 bus and coach registrations smmt.co.uk/bus-market-dec…

📢"After three bumper years of fleet renewal, the HGV market is now under pressure. The fact that zero emission truck uptake is outperforming the market is a crumb of comfort but at less than 1% of the market it is not a cause for celebration" @MikeHawesSMMT comments on HGV Q2 registration figures smmt.co.uk/hgv-market-dow…

First half HGV demand down -8.9% to 18,158 units with fleet renewal constrained by tough economic conditions. smmt.co.uk/hgv-market-dow…
