Over the past seven years the UK has emerged as one of the most globally attractive locations for Automotive investment. The foundations for this success have been based on these key areas: 1 - Growing Supply Chain Opportunity: The UK is experiencing an unprecedented period of growth In production volumes driven by global demand for UK- manufactured vehicles as well as a domestic market that is the fastest growing in Europe resulting in a unique supply-chain opportunity. Increasingly UK-based OEMs are looking for supply chain proximity to reduce logistic costs, minimise risk and to cater for R&D cycles that are growing ever quicker. 2- Strong Domestic and Export Market: UK vehicle production volumes reached 1.6m in 2013, overtaking France in passenger vehicle volumes, and the domestic market was the strongest in Western Europe with year on year growth of nearly 11%. Over 80% of UK- built cars were exported with a value of almost £25bn. 3 - Transformational Research & Development: The UK provides an ecosystem which brings together leading-edge firms, universities, motorsports and funded projects to develop, commercialise and deliver technological innovations in the Automotive sector. 4 - Supportive Business Environment: The UK boasts one of the most progressive and flexible business environments which has made us number one in Europe for foreign direct investment. 6 6 6
