India's carmakers back zero duty on limited British imports under trade deal - sources

Reuters

23-05-15 09:39

Leading Indian automakers have agreed to eliminate the import tax on a limited number of vehicles in a trade deal with the UK "if the need arises," according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). Indian automakers have been resistant to the imposition of zero duty on imports arguing that it would dry-up investment in domestic manufacturing. The deal, while opening up the Indian market, only applies to a limited number of vehicles and Japan, South Korea, and the European Union are watching India's negotiations with the UK carefully.

Indian automaker Tata Motors expects its luxury car arm, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), to see its free cash flow increase almost four-fold to over $2.5bn in the current fiscal year, with the firm also declaring its first dividend in almost seven years. The company cited strong demand for JLR vehicles as well as commercial trucks for the boost, given that despite price increases, sales of sport utility vehicles and trucks have surged amid the introduction of stricter emissions norms.

Bentley chief’s ‘concern’ over UK’s failure to attract battery investments

Financial Times

23-05-08 04:26

The UK's lack of investment from electric vehicle start-ups and battery makers is "concerning," according to Adrian Hallmark, CEO of luxury-car maker Bentley. Hallmark called for the UK government to reduce energy costs to help compete with other markets across the world. Car companies, such as Volkswagen, are choosing to locate battery factories in markets such as Poland, Belgium, Canada, Spain and even Germany due to the financial incentives on offer. The UK has so far not attracted any investment from electric vehicle or battery manufacturers, an issue that Hallmark called "surprising."

Is it the end of the road for Jaguar or can it roar back to life?

Telegraph

23-05-01 12:00

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced plans to slim down the Jaguar division to one all-electric model. Citing difficulties maintaining new model sales impetus and lacklustre repeat business, JLR confirmed last week that it was terminating its six-model Jaguar line-up in favour of a three-model all-electric range, a decision that will mean existing Jaguar owners need to look elsewhere. The manufacturer will phase out its existing range over the next year-and-a-half to make way for a four-door sports car with a rumoured 430-mile range and a £100,000 ($139,216) starting price. Total UK Jaguar registrations drastically fell from 36,069 in 2019 to 12,165 units in 2022, making sales figures across a range are insufficient to sustain a factory or the marque itself. Some have pointed to Jaguar’s loss of market share after its ill-fated effort to compete with Mercedes and BMW. Others suggest that, with questionable reliability and confusing model naming, Jaguar has undermined its brand's credibility.

CBI to be renamed as part of root and branch reform

Financial Times

23-04-27 04:19

The CBI has suspended all membership and external activities for a month and will be renamed as part of efforts to reform a toxic workplace culture that was at the core of the recent allegations of rape, sexual harassment and bullying. New director-general Rain Newton-Smith has pledged a “root-and-branch” reform and will deliver a proposal for the CBI’s future at an extraordinary general meeting on 8 June. Newton-Smith recently returned to the CBI after leaving to join Barclays and has defended her appointment, citing her record for addressing previous problems when she was the organisation’s chief economist.

The Inflation Reduction Act is turning heads among British businesses

Economist

23-05-16 16:47

Competing subsidies from the US's Inflation Reduction Act and the EU's Green Deal Industrial Plan are drawing green-energy manufacturers away from the UK despite the availability of similar subsidies. This subsidy race is putting pressure on several of the UK's green industries, including energy and steelmaking. A poll found nearly eight out of 10 executives believe that the UK should do more to subsidise green industries. The UK is under pressure to introduce an industrial strategy that appeals to manufacturers, including a focus on skills and research and development, alongside regulatory clarity and a reduction of permitting bottlenecks.

Stellantis warns of factory closure if Brexit deal is not renegotiated

Financial Times

23-05-16 23:19

Carmaker Stellantis has warned the UK government that it may have to close its Ellesmere Port factory unless it renegotiates its Brexit deal with the EU to allow for the use of more non-UK parts in its vehicles and battery systems, according to a submission to parliament’s business committee. The company, which owns Vauxhall, faces additional costs as its electric vans will attract 10% tariffs when exported to the EU from next year because they will not contain enough locally sourced components.

Brussels tariffs are endangering net zero, carmakers warn

Telegraph

23-05-17 19:11

European automakers, including Jaguar Land Rover and Ford, are calling for a delay in the introduction of post-Brexit tariffs on electric vehicles due to concerns that it threatens the move to net zero. The new rules, which will come into effect from January 2022, will impose a 10% tax on vehicles shipped to the EU from the UK if they fail to contain sufficient components - equal to at least 45% of the value of an electric vehicle - manufactured in either the UK or the EU. The rules are part of an initiative to prevent Chinese-controlled minerals from entering the EU through the UK and maintain production standards. Industry leaders suggest that the fast implementation of the rules poses a threat to the industry's transition to clean mobility as few gigafactories, which produce batteries, currently exist outside China and Stellantis, the owner of Vauxhall, has said that the proposals could force it to end production in the UK.

Carmakers echo Stellantis call to delay EU rules on electric vehicles

Financial Times

23-05-17 17:19

Stellantis has become the first carmaker to urge the UK to renegotiate the terms of its Brexit deal. The parent company of car brands including Alpha Romeo, Peugeot, Vauxhall and Chrysler has called for a delay to beefed-up European Union (EU) “rules of origin”, saying that these could lead to it having to close its Ellesmere Port factory. The factory could be forced into closure as electric vans produced there, which comprise over 70% imported components, face a 10% tariff when they are exported to the EU from next year. Stellantis warned rising costs of raw materials, supply chains and the conflict in Ukraine had prevented it from meeting its planned content standards when announcing the expansion of the Cheshire plant in 2021. Car manufacturers across the UK and continental Europe have echoed its concerns over the rules of origin, which they claim will raise costs for EV drivers and reduce uptake.

Stellantis shows future of UK car sector hangs on more than a Brexit overhaul

Financial Times

23-05-17 16:19

Carmaker Stellantis has warned that it could leave the UK altogether if electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing becomes unsustainable. One issue is that under Brexit rules, the UK faces 10% tariffs on cars traded with Europe from 2024. Furthermore, new EU rules insist that from January, EVs must source at least 60% of their batteries from the EU and UK, causing the cost of certain key commodities to increase, suggesting the tightening of the rules represents a problem for car makers on both sides of the Channel. The UK also faces energy challenges with steel makers reporting electricity prices twice what they are in other EU countries.

EU carmakers join call for delay to post-Brexit rules as pressure on UK industry grows

Financial Times

23-05-17 15:32

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association and leading UK carmakers, including Jaguar Land Rover, Ford, Vauxhall and Peugeot owner Stellantis, have called for a delay to post-Brexit rules that could deal a severe blow to the UK’s car industry. From next year, electric vehicles (EVs) shipped from the EU to the UK, and vice versa, will need to source 45% of their parts within the two regions, or face 10% tariffs under the trade deal. This requirement may force EV makers to incur tariffs, prompting industry leaders to call for a delay in the rules of origin requirements.

How a Brexit stitch-up and battery failures left Britain’s car industry on the brink

Telegraph

23-05-18 06:00

New car import rules which come into force in January may pose a threat to the UK's struggling car manufacturers. As of next year, all cars exported from the UK into the European Union must contain 45% of their components by value from either the UK or the EU. Vehicles that do not meet this threshold will face a 10% duty when heading for the Continent. The rules were designed to encourage firms to establish supply chains nearer home, however, the UK has failed to establish a battery industry, meaning car executives fear that the deadline will be an "existential threat". Industry experts have warned that the new regulations could cause the closure of such sites as Stellantis's Vauxhall van factory at Ellesmere Port. The rules will also make industry-based technologies, such as professional wireless communication devices, more important when conducting automotive research and development.

Former business secretaries attack Sunak’s lack of industrial strategy

Financial Times

23-05-18 04:33

Three former UK business secretaries from different parties, Lord Mandelson, Sir Vince Cable and Greg Clark, have accused Chancellor Rishi Sunak of having neither an effective nor visible industrial strategy. Clark said Sunak had never even referred to the subject. Mandelson said the lack of enthusiasm had resulted in a confused policy, while Cable said it had been discontinued due to "ideological zealotry". Senior government insiders admitted the policy was not contained within a single document and was a "comms issue". The role of the state in economies recently has highlighted a difference between European and US approaches.

Jaguar Land Rover owner ‘close to picking Britain for gigafactory’

Telegraph

23-05-18 20:41

Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is deciding between Spain and the UK as the location for its electric vehicle battery factory, a move seen as critical for the future of Britain's car production in the face of a looming ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars. The UK is believed to have offered financial support for the gigafactory, with Chancellor Jeremy Hunt suggesting earlier this week that the country is in line for good news on the EV industry. JLRs biggest competitor, Nissan, is the only other UK company with a domestic battery supply.

Live Markets UK's £1bn chip plan 'insignificant', warn bosses - latest updates

The UK’s pledge of £1bn ($1.4bn) to boost its semiconductor industry over the next decade has been criticised as “insignificant” by industry figures, compared to the $50bn promised by the US and €43bn pledged by the EU. The boost is intended to expand the domestic industry, protect national security and reduce the risk of supply chain disruption. However, the UK currently has to import critical silicon chips from Taiwan. Simon Thomas of UK start-up Paragraf described the announcement as “quite frankly flaccid” and Garner consultant Gaurav Gupta said it would not create a UK company capable of competing with major chip producers.

Revenue at Tesla Motors UK rose 75% to £2.8bn last year despite spiralling electricity prices eating into sales demand for electric vehicles. The manufacturer registered profits of £31m. The company has reduced the prices of its leading models in the UK to boost sales. Tesla's Model Y sold 35,551 vehicles last year, making it Britain's most popular electric car. Policymakers and industry analysts suggested the market for EVs had peaked, and less-affluent buyers were deterred by persistently high battery prices.
