- In 2014, automobile production (PC + LUV) in Britain reached almost 1.581 million units, a stable volume (-0.4%) compared to 2013. The UK is the 14th largest producer of cars in the world.

- The British car production volumes remained behind that of France in 2014. Although, if we only counts the production of passenger cars (PC), the UK is ahead of France, but when we add passenger cars and commercial vehicles, then France is ahead.

- Despite the increase in production of the Range Rover / Range Rover Sport (+ 30%), Discovery / Discovery Sports (+ 11%) and Nissan Note (+ 10%), overall production is stagnating. The UK has nevertheless exported 137 410 vehicles to China in 2014, an increase of 14.5% compared to 2013, and seven times more than in 2009. These exports are mainly Jaguar and Land Rover models (122 010 units).

- The stagnating production is actually due:

1/ the transfer of the Renault Trafic from Britain to  France.

2 / The difficulties encountered by other brands, either because of limited production capacity (Nissan), or because of insufficient success of their models (GM, Honda, Toyota).

3/Because of a transfer to another European plant (part of Mini's production was transferred to the Dutch factory in Born).
