Christopher Macgowan Boost Quotations

Export volumes continue to boost car production in the UK. Eight in every ten cars made in the UK in November is destined for export markets and we expect the 2005 total to reach record volumes and market share. Overall car output in 2005 should hit 1.6 million units, a little down on 2004 but still a strong performance.

Improvements in efficiency, on top of strong export demand, have helped boost commercial vehicle production.
