English Cars Exports - New Used UK

UK NEW AND USED CARS EXPORTS NEWS!!

The UK Automotive Exportation sector is a global leader in process and product innovation of New and Used Second Hand Autos to the rest of the world. Within the European Union, the UK’s Exportation industry has the best car and commercial vehicle makers and exporters. British citizens (English – England, Welsh – Wales, Scottish – Scotland and Irish – Ireland) bought over 2.5 million new cars in the UK last year, 0.4 million European Cars and 5.6 million used second hand cars. Cheap car and auto production is rising since joining the European Union, now exporting about 1.67 million cheap units. New and Used Second Hand Commercial vehicle exporters and passenger vehicles production, looks set to exceed 600,000 auto units for the first time since 1998.

In the recent years, the exportation of new and used cars from the United Kingdom (UK) to the rest of the world (including Japan) has significantly increased. This Exportation success is in contrast to past years where the bulk of vehicles being exported from exporters in Europe, were mainly from Germany. Japan however, still dominates the world’s bulk source for the exports of cheap new and used cars either second hand, or from car Auctions. These cheap Japanese vehicles to many countries worldwide including Britain and the rest of European Union, was due to the reliability that these cars have and the cheaper costs of running Japanese vehicles in general.

The purchase of second hand cars from Auctions and Auction houses such as the British Car Auctions has significantly dropped with the increased strength of the British pound. Joining of the European Union has also reduced popularity of Car Auctions in the UK because cheaper Cars can be exported and Imported from Europe – Germany in Particular - without restriction and risks associated with car Auctions. The sector now accounts for over 9% of our total export of goods. Over the last 5 years UK has exported, on average, over a million cheaper cars a year - a fivefold increase in real terms since 1986 and twice the amount from Germany. Japanese, German, African and American manufacturers import cheaper British built cars into their home markets and over 70% of UK Car Exports go to Europe, including Germany.

MERCEDES C CLASS

Revised styling and introduction of a V8 high-performance model highlight 2005 changes to Mercedes-Benz's least-expensive cars. The C-Class offers three body styles: sedan, wagon, and 2-dr hatchback coupe. Mercedes divides the line into Sport and Luxury versions. C230s have a 189-hp supercharged 4-cyl engine; they come in Sport Coupe and Sport Sedan trim. C240s have a 168-hp V6; they come as Luxury sedans and wagons. C320s have a 215-hp V6; they come as a Sport coupe and sedan, and as a Luxury sedan. The new high-performance C55 AMG sedan has a 362-hp V8. It replaces the 349-hp V6 C32 AMG sedan and has front-end styling distinct from other models'. C230 Sport and C320 Sport models are available with a 6-speed manual transmission or the 5-speed automatic that's standard on the other models. Rear-wheel drive is standard. The C240 sedan and wagon and C320 sedan are available with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel drive.

For '05, Luxury sedans and wagons get new-style wheels and adopt body trim used on the 2004 Sport versions. Sport sedans adopt body trim used on the C32 AMG. Sport coupes get a perforated grille. All have revised headlamps and taillamps and a redesigned dashboard. Interior trim--wood on Luxury versions, aluminum on Sports--is also revised. The C55 and Sports come with sport-tuned suspension. The C55 has 18-inch wheels, the Sports 17s; other models have 16s. Every C-Class has ABS, antiskid/traction control, front/rear side airbags, and head-protecting curtain side airbags. Options include a navigation system and bi-xenon headlamps. Coupes are available with Mercedes' large Panorama sunroof that teams with a fixed-glass panel over the rear seat; each has a power sunshade. News The '05 updates represent a midlife freshening for the C-Class. Expect few other changes of note before a full redesign, which should get here for model-year 2007 or '08.

By that time, the C-Class won't be Mercedes' smallest U.S. car, as two subcompacts are reportedly on the way. One is the redesigned version of the Euro-market A-Class hatchback, likely for 2006 or '07. Sized like a Ford Focus, this tall, minivan-shaped 4-dr features a unique bi-level floor sandwiching exhaust system and other components. Overall length is said to be around 160 inches. Power will come from one or more 4-cyl engines, probably in the 1.6- to 2.0-liter range with something like 125-150 hp. A 2-dr A-Class is also in development and could come Stateside. All models should offer front-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive. We should have more details soon, so keep checking back with us.

But wait. There's less. Confirmed for 2006, likely as an early '07 debut, is the Smart Formore, an SUV-style miniwagon from DaimlerChrysler's European small-car division. Smart launched some 6 years ago with a tall, very short ForTwo front-drive coupe with a 660cc turbo 2-cyl. A targa convertible followed soon after. A longer, lower, more conventional 2-seat Roadster and Coupe-Roadster bowed in '03 with 4-cyl power. The Foremore shares a basic design with the new Euro-market ForFour hatchback that's built in Holland alongside a related Mitsubishi, but the demi-SUV features AWD, raised suspension, flared fenders and other off-roader touches. ForMore will be sourced from Brazil, likely with a 1.5-liter Mitsubishi 4-cyl making around 110 hp. Transmissions should be conventional 5-speed manual and a computer-controlled "clutchless" 6-speed manual with automatic mode. Like earlier Smarts, some body panels are made of a plastic-like material and are interchangeable for color. Again, we should be getting more specifics soon, so keep checking back

UK CAR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

‘British Japanese’ Honda and their English brokers - whose Swindon facility is the UK's largest exporter of passenger cars to Japan, America, Asia Middle East and Africa. British MG Rover and their brokers - whose joint venture with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation will help to fund the exporting and development of new vehicle models at cheaper manufacturing costs. ‘British Japanese’ Toyota and their English brokers whose £50 million investment at Burnaston has raised the exporting capacity by more than 50,000 and created 500 jobs;

‘British American’ Ford and their brokers - where 25% of the company's entire global engine production, and all its diesel engines, now come from the UK at a much cheaper rate than anywhere else on the world. These cheap rates ensure that the United Kingdom (UK) is ahead of the rest of the manufactures in car exporting. British GM Vauxhall and their Brokers - where production at Ellesmere Port is to be expanded to meet demand for the new Astra cars. ‘British Japanese’ Nissan and their English brokers who blazed the trail to the UK in the early 1980s, and continues to run the most productive car manufacturing site in Europe.

Great Britain - Especially the English industry is continuing to show a firm commitment to the science budget - more than double since 1997 to £3.3 billion by 2007/8. The English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh secured £12million for the hugely successful Manufacturing Advisory Service - a program that has boosted manufacturing by more than £53million, delivering an average £100,000 added value to every manufacturer that goes through the full program.

THE FUTURE OF THE UK CAR INDUSTRY (EXPORTATION AND MANUFACTURE)

It is anticipated that the Exporting of New vehicles and second hand used cars and the funding for the Technology Strategy will increase by £140m per annum by 2007/8. Taken with the re-direction of existing spend on exports innovation, this will increase spending on the Technology Strategy to more than £250m per annum on exports, by 2007/8. Helping British (English, Scottish and Irish) Car manufacturers and exporters pull through new technologies and processes from the science base and turn them into competitive exporters advantage.
