Summary

This brochure gives an overview of the UK automotive industry in 2006, highlighting the breadth of the sector from designers and specialist manufacturers through the volume car makers to the UK's remarkable powertrain sector (including Ford's global centre of excellence for diesel engines at Dagenham). Despite the loss of MG Rover and Peugeot from the list of UK vehicle manufacturers, the industry remains robust with strong performances from Land Rover, Honda, BMW, Nissan and Toyota in particular. The brochure also highlights the strengths of the UK's design engineering companies and niche vehicles, from the design icon that is the London Taxi to the remarkable Gibbs Aquada amphibious car.
