The UK’s output of new cars fell by 20.6% last month, according to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
A total of 70,039 cars rolled out of UK factories in September – a significant drop from the 88,230 made here in the same month last year.
The SMMT attributed the fall to the end of production of various models as their factories are retooled for upcoming electric cars.
