The UK’s Society of Motor Manufacturers (SMMT) is calling on the EU to amend its proposed Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) to keep the UK automotive sector as a trusted partner that ‘makes in Europe’. Granting equivalent treatment to UK-built vehicles and parts across all automotive-related provisions of the IAA will maintain a long-nurtured, mutually beneficial trading relationship creating economic growth and jobs, supporting industrial transformation and driving decarbonisation. In contrast, the SMMT argues excluding UK automotive from the IAA’s ‘Made in Europe’ policy would disrupt supply chain resilience.
