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.
THE RANGE ROVER VOGUE
For those with a taste for sticky fuel economy, the 2926 CC CDI turbocharged 24 valve inline six powerplant develops 174 bhp at 4000 rpm, and offers a staggering 39 kgm of torque at just 2000 revs. Which helps to propel the new Range Rover Td6 to 100 kph in just 13.6 seconds. We are talking about a heavy diesel-engined SUV here, by the way. The 4398 CC 32 valve petrol V8, on the other hand, offers nothing less than 282 horses at 5400 revs and an awesome 44 kgm of turning force at barely 3600 rpm. Top speed, Range Rover claims, is 208 kph and just 9.2 seconds for the zero to 100 kph dash. By the way, the Range Rover does not get manual transmission, even as an option. What you get is five-speed automatic gearboxes that have worked inside Beemers as well. They get Standard and Economy modes, and also feature the Steptronic manual gear selection. What is unusual – and important for fanatical off-road drivers – is that Steptronic will operate in both high and low ratios. The dual range transfer box is also new, and uses a Torsen torque sensing differential instead of a central viscous coupling to feed torque. Effective? You bet!
The new Range Rover is today the best ever automobile to emerge from Ol' Blighty, it is even Top Gear's Car Of The Year. But all those Britons at Solihull cannot take full credit. That's because the third iteration of the Range Rover was a BMW venture, when Rover was the Munich-based car maker's 'English Patient.' The man in charge for developing it, among other Rovers, was Dr Wolfgang Reitzle, who eventually quit BMW. Reitzle later went on to join Ford and became the head of its Premier Automotive Group. He persuaded Bill Ford and Jac Nasser to buy Land Rover, which, in July 2000, came under the Ford umbrella. So today, the new Range Rover is an excellent showpiece for German-led engineering, British manufacturing and American ownership. But just that does not endow it with multinational status. The Range Rover, in its pre-production prototype guise, has seen over 25 countries while testing. Speeding on the German autobahnen, wadi-bashing in Dubai, crawling in Tokyo rush hour, trundling on snow in the Arctic circle, climbing on all fours in South America – this SUV has done it all, covering over 2.4 million km in the process.
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.
