4. UK Automotive rising to the challenge April year to date manufacturing volumes for cars and engines strong, CVs weaker. Major strides in reducing environmental impact in products and manufacturing processes. New car sales totalled 1.94mn. units in 2011, down 4.4% on 2010, but ahead of the 1.92mn. forecast. In 2011 better than expected trend in commercial vehicle registration: truck registrations up 42,944 units (24.6%), vans to 3.5t registrations up 16.7% to 260,153.  Bus & Coach down 12.8%. 2011 UK production remained encouraging – strong export growth Significant increase in UK investment by VMs in R&D and local sourcing of components. Car production up 5.8%, engine production up 4.9% on 2010 but commercial vehicle production down 2.3%.

5. A place in the global market Large majority of UK vehicle assembly capacity owned by non-British companies. Focus on quality, flexibility and emerging technologies and markets. New growth technologies – electric vehicles, low-carbon energy efficient engines, new powertrains, instrumentation and controls. Significant focus on increasing purchasing sourced from UK. Unique global talent and resource in, automotive academia, independent design engineering, motorsport and formula motor racing - closely linked to mainsteam automotive manufacturing. UK remains 4th largest vehicle manufacturer in Europe. High proportion of automotive production continues to be exported. Vehicle and engine production increasing in both 2010 and 2011 Exports continue to increase – 83.7% car, 57.7% commercial vehicle and 70.2% engine production exported.

6. Climate Change and Emissions Post Durban 2011 – increased European focus on climate change and air quality inevitable. Strong UK government focus on e-mobility but government is technology neutral. Transition to ultra low carbon vehicles is high priority. SMMT’s publication of CO2 Report tracks further reductions in CO2 and emission – with further improvements anticipated. Several UK cities installing charging points and SMMT EV Group supporting emerging technical and standards agenda in Europe. Introduction of Euro 6 emission standard for heavy commercial vehicles significant challenge for industry. Emissions in 2011 fell by 4.2% to 138.1g/km average – down 23% since 2000. Diesel and AFVs take 50.6% and 1.3% of market respectively in 2011. EV registrations 1,098 units.

7. Government and Industry Working Together Automotive Council set up in December 2009. Effective collaboration to identify challenges and stimulate growth.

36. April 2012: AFV and EV registrations data

37. April 2012: AFV and EV registrations data

38. 2011 - Buoyant year for van and truck market • Truck registrations up 42,944 units (24.6%) for the full year. • Vans to 3.5t registrations up 16.7% to 260,153 in 2011.  • For trucks >6t, registrations for 2011 were 37,410. • The very recent trend for growth in two-axle rigids above 6t strengthened markedly. Growth rates ranged from 30 to 90% across the various weight segments for these trucks. • Until very recently these sectors had lagged behind what was an artic and multi-axle rigid led recovery. • Better than expected trend in registration volumes faces significant challenges just to hold steady over 2012. It may be that market specific factors could be more supportive than the meagre rate of economic growth envisaged for this year.

39. Van and truck registrations - rolling year trends Dec 2007 to date

40. Bus and coach market 2011 2011 was a challenging year for the bus and coach sector - down 12.8% for the year. • Registrations of purpose-built buses and coaches has shown most resilience to challenging market and grew 5.1% in 2011 but: • Bus registrations finished the year 13.6% down. • Coach volumes dropped 7.1% over the 12-month period. The lighter and converted end of the market struggled to maintain momentum. 2012 is set to be a testing year, but government incentives and operator desires to capitalise on fuel efficient technologies should provide much-needed stimulus to the market.”

41. Big buses and coaches – rolling year registrations December 2006 to December 2011

42. History and levels of Euro standards for cars

43. Making significant progress, but challenges ahead Average new car CO2 – 1997-2011 (SMMT) UK average new car CO2 – 138.1g/km in 2011. Continuous improvement, pace picked up in last 4 years.

44. Influences on CO2 emissions Technological measures to deliver lower CO2–emitting vehicles Improvements in internal combustion engine (ICE). Development of alternatively fuelled vehicles (AFV). Other influences – aerodynamics, light weighting, efficient tyres etc. Non-test cycle measures, eg gear shift indicators and satellite navigation devices.

45. 2011: A break-through year – breaking 140g/km Diesel share by segment (SMMT) Registrations of AFVs (SMMT) Diesel cars outsell petrol (diesels 15-20% lower CO2 emitting). Alternatively fuelled cars break 25,000 registrations. ‘Mainstream’ electric vehicles on sale. All segments post reductions in average CO2 emissions.

46. Distribution of the new car market by CO2 New car market by CO2 bands (SMMT) Shift into lower CO2 emitting vehicles. 46.8% of the market below 130g/km and 3.4% below 100g/km, compared with 0.9% and 0% in 2000.

47. Distribution of the new car market by VED bands New car market by VED bands (SMMT) ‘E’ band most populated in 2011, was ‘G’ band in 2000. 3.4% of the market in ‘A’ band in 2011, was 0.0% in 2000. Just 0.6% of market in top band in 2011, was 4.8% in 2000. Note all data split by current 13 band VED system

48. Light commercial vehicle (LCV) performance Average UK new car and LCV market distribution by CO2 – 2011 (SMMT) SMMT developing LCV CO2 database. UK average new LCV CO2 – estimated to be 199.2g/km in 2011. LCV face EU CO2 targets – 175g/km in 2014-17, 147g/km by 2020.

49. Making real world improvements CO2 emissions from all cars in use (DECC) Total CO2 from all cars in use down. – 2010 down 10.2% on 2000 and 3.3% on 2009. Faster fleet replacement aids CO2 reductions from all cars in use.

50. Challenges ahead Average UK new car and car in use CO2 , and pan EU targets to 2020 (SMMT/EU) EU new car CO2 targets – 130g/km in 2012-15, 95g/km by 2020. Market acceptance of ultra-low carbon vehicles, especially AFVs. Integrated approach needed to support shift to lower carbon fleet.
